Lovers Day In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages troth plighted Oh
Easter Sunday was regarded as pc
culiarly sacred. and it was customary
for lovers to exchange poetical al
dresses somewhat after the o!
valentines. The following, rendered
into modern spelling, is by Athelstana
Wade, a folk poet of the time of Rich
ard l.. and is regarded as II of the
best specimens of its kind:
IT'S Gods Sunday, precious one,
That Kinds your heart in love to Inc.
Let us, then, all folly shun;
Be true, my sweet, as | to thee.
Troth plighted on Christ's rising day
Is sacred. holy, good and true.
Let come TO me whatever may,
In life or death I'll cling to you.

Seeing the Sun Dance,

One of the Oldest Easter supersti-
lions, around which cling many folk
lore tales and legends, is the wide
spread belief in the sun participating
In the general felicity of the season
by dancing in the heavens on Faster
day. Devonshire maidens still get up
observe not only the dancing sun, but
the lamb and flag in the center Of the
disk. An old Scotch belief makes the
sun ever more active, for there it is ex-
pected to whirl around like a mt.
wheel and give three leaps.-New York

Come out, Easter sunshine,

And teach our hearts the joy, the

And make the loved land bright
And lead us from the shadows

When Maxim, the famous gun
inventor, placed his gun before a
committee of judges, he stated its
carrying power to be much below
what he felt sure the gun would
accomplish. The result of the trial
was therefore a surprise, instead OF
disappointment. Ii is the same

Guthrie. Ok. July o.-One point
has been found upon which the
liquor men and the temperance
agitators in Oklahoma can agree.
Both profess to desire to have the
prohibition question submitted to

brewery, and J. ]. Thompson, sup

came from Oklahoma City to Guth-
RE on the same train recently, and
INDUCED in a friendly discussion Of
the matter. The brewery man ex-
pressed himself as being opposed
to prohibition, but said he wanted
the matter settled at once and for
all, as in his belief it would be in
furious to business interests to have
it dragging along and likely to
come up at any time.

1t is very propitious time to
give studious consideration TO some
features Of the recent amendment
to the Oregon state constitution.
Recent elections in that state, under
the provisions Of this amendment,
has dev eloped considerable interest
in some features Of it. For instance
the people of Oregon come the
closest to electing United States
senator's by the people Of any other
state. In fact, as close as it is pos
sible under our national constitu-
ton. The provision relating to this
matter to all intents and purposes
simply makes the state legislature
an electoral college, so far as the
election of United States senators
are concerned. The method en-
ploved is very similar 10 the meth
Cd now employed in the election Of
president and vice president Of the
United States. The people express
their preference for the senator and
the candidate receiving the major
ity Of votes cast by the popular
franchise is declared elected by the
legislature. This Difference, how
ever, exists, that it is possible to
elect a legislature Of different
political faith than the senator e
lected, but that makes no differ
ence iu the election Of senator. The
legislature is forced to declare the
choice Of the people elected, and IN
this feature it differs from the ele-

AN INTERESTING STUDY

These days Of constitutional con
sideration many theories are being
studied that 10 the people Of Okla
homa and Indian Territory hereto
fore have possessed little or no in
terest says the Oklahoma Post.
Different classes Of pei pie, of course
are giving much thought and at
fention to theories which naturally
interest them. Those who naturally
lean to the sCcialistic idea are study
ing subjects of socialism. Those
who are naturally republicans in
their inclination are studying more
advanced problems of economic
government. Those who naturally
incline to democracy do not have
anything particular TO interest
them, as they are principally de-
mocrats because some one else is.
While the populists are plodding
along right in the middle Of the
road complaining Of everything
that is not comprehended in their
narrow horizen Of vision, a great
majority of all these people are pos
itive that their ideas are the only
correct ones and naturally feel that
they will not be properly iecogniz-
ed and appreciated if they are not
made members Of the constitutional

as he retires and moves to town his
prestige vanishes and he Is OF no fur
ther use to himself or anyone else,
and he is so treated by the town pso-
pie. Few men have the faculty OF as
serting themselves in their new sur
roundings. IL is almost impossible
for a retired farmer to live as com
fortably as he did on the farm unless
he has bene unusually successful as a
financier. Living in town costs a
great deal more than living In the
country. The difference is made up
by the thousand little things that no
one can foresee or properly estimate
until they have the experience. Just
such moves have resulted in the un-

Joel Perkins was one OF the first set
tiers in the plantation OF Milton, Ok
ford county. Me. Taking up section
of wild land, he built himself a cabin,
and each season cleared a small patch
and raised fair crop of grain and po
tatoes.
Other settlers came in around him,
and he was able from time to time to
sell them portion of his surplus crop,
trusting them until they could pay.
Having no account books, he marked
with chalk on his cabin door what
they owed him.
After several years he thought he
could afford to take a wife. and, find
ing a comely lass in the neighboring
town OF Bethel, he married her and
took her home.
While Joel was at work in the fields
his wife spent the time cleaning up the
house. One night, on his return, she
called his attention to what she had
done, especially to the inside of the
cabin door.
