The announcement of an old maid )

take unless the frcnzicd land agents OF
that balmy garden spot have been do
ing some tall and artistic stringing.
According to the true tales of trav-
elers, an old maid couldn't last in Ok
lahom as long as a SNOWFALL in Pan
anna. AS soon as an unattached lady
of no matter what age gets off the train
Il quarter section with huge mustache
and a prospective United States sell
ator attached begins motioning TO her
with such persuasive ways that she
just can't resist.

ken for just as soon as they can bake Il
tiapiack and boss man. We fear
that those who participate in the old
maids party will have to take their
nursing bottles along.

A Cnt Dilemma.

A babu in charge OF the documents
of certain town in India found that
they We're being seriously damaged by
rats. He wrote to the government to
provide him with weekly rations for
two cats to destroy the rats. The re-
quest was granted, and the two cats
were installed, one the larger OF the
two, receiving slightly better ratons
than the other. All went well for Il
few weeks. when the supreme govern
ment of India received the following
dispatch: IL have the honor to inform
you that the senior cat Is absent with
out leave. What shall | do" The
problem seemed to battle the supreme
government, for the babu received no
answer. After waiting Il few days he
sent off n proposal: In re absentee
cat. propose to promote the junior
cat and in the meantime to take into
government service IL probationer cat
on full ratlons." The supreme govern
ment expressed its approval OF the
scheme, and things once more ran
smoothly in that department.
