TRAIN PLUNGES
OFF HIGH BRIDGE
INTO SETTLING WATERS OF
RIVER BELoW-EIGHT DEAD
WITH A SCORE OF PER-
SONS INJURED.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Sept. 1S.-Eight
people are dead, twenty others more
or less injured and as many more are
missing as the result of the wreck
ing of a Rock Island passenger train
three miles from Dover Okla, at $3.50
o'clock this morning.
The engine, tender, baggage and
mail cars, smoker and day coach of
passenger train No. -, north-bound,
left the high bridge that spans the
Cimarron River and plunged into the
current fianked by treacherous quick
sand. The locomotive disappeared
from sight almost Immediately. The
mail and baggage clerks escaped from
their coaches and swan to the shore.
The accident was due to the defec-
tive condition of the bridge, which
was swerved out of line by the pres
sure of driftwood carried down by the
swollen stream.
The train was an hour late and was
at high speed to make up
time. The engine driver did not see
the condition of the bridge until he
was within a few yards of the bridge
when it was too late to stop. He
shouted to his fireman, threw on the
ir brakes and jumped. He landed on
he very verge of the river bank and
escaped unhurt The fireman was less
ortunate and sustained severe injur-
es.

When the engine struck the bridge
the whole structure suddenly collap

and day coach into the water. The
two heavy Pullmans were not pulled
in but remained on the track.
The current whirled the day coach
down stream and lodged it against a
sand bank. The occupants were help

The smoking car f1oated down stream,
submerged all but the very top. 1t
struck on sand bar in the middle of
the river and four men were seen
to Chamber through the windows and
pull themselves on top of the car,
calling Loudly for help, but those on

mass of driftwood swept down and

Three other men jumped through
the rear door of the smoker before it

they were pulled out. They were al

GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME"


For The Weekly Register.
This is good time, you bet" when
we all work and sweat
Good old summer time;
But 1 know you'd rather be in the
OF the tree with your baby mine. .
We all try to shirk, for we just dread
to work;
We'd rather take our boat and line
and go a fishing in the pond
In the good old summer time.
Chorus:
In the good old summer time, with
You sweet Adalyne;
Yousit in the shade of the apple tree
and call her baby mine;
You take your little hand in yours
and say if you will be mine.
Twill be home sweet home down on
the farm,
In the good old summer time.
Thus you vile time away on the bright
summer day
Good old summer time;
Meier a thought of the money you'll
need for your honey
In the good old summer time.
But you trust to your pap for your
shoes and your hat.
And you never think it a crime,
To tell her every one works but dad
In the good old summer time.
So the summer rolls over, while you
rove in the clover
Good old summer time.
With your babe on your arm you stroll
DER the farm,
In the good old summer time.
Your money IS all spent. and you amt
got cent,
So you say to your baby mine:
I'll meet in st. Louis, babe
In the good old summer time.
Then when summer times past you
think why can't it last
The good old summer time.
You've wasted your time, now you
amt got dime
For your baby mine.
So you now have to shun her altho'
you have won her,
And say you cannot be mine;
Then you'll sing good bye-l.ttle girl

Passing ofthe Country
Girl.
As Studied at an old-FashiOned Fair
In Indiana.

Thursday was the great day of
the Crawford county fair-one of
the kind of fairs grandfather tells
about-the kind he visited when
he was a youngster aud used to
take grandma to, only she was not
grandma then. writes a Marengo,
Indiana, correspondent of the
Indianapolis News.
Formerly the farmer came to the
fair in his old fashioned .'jolt"
wagon Now he comes in a rub
ber.tired buggy or surrey, and in
the sea of vehicles here to-day are
two or three fashionable "trsps''
and an automobile or two. He is
better dressed than he used to be,
and so is his family.
The old fashioned country girl
depicted on the stage in the So
called rural plays" is not seen at
the fairs any more The stage
country girl has passed away. No
more loose-hanging linsey -woolsey
dresses and heavy hob nailed shoes.
no more red sashes knotted about
the waist that makes her resemble
an animated meal sack. The little
old sunbonnet has been laid aside
forever.
Handsome gowns true to the
latest fashion plates. high-heeled
shoes and open-work hose, and
picture hats; peek-a-boo waists.
and for that matter, sometimes q
little more peek-a-boo than the
peek s-boo waist of her city sister;
three-story gloves or elbow sleeves
the country girl of to day is a
poem in dress, and she knows all
the wrinkles in the dressmsker's
art Times are good and pap"
has the money.
A glance over the great crowd of
women and girls here to-day would
cause one to imagine himself in an
Indianapolis park.
And you don't get introduced to
any more Chsrlottes. or Nanoys. or
Betsys No, indeed! Now you
meet Lotties and Maymes and
Bessies and Maudies.
The average country girl to. day
is a step or two ahead of the coun-
try boy. But a big change has
come to him, also. He does not
go around with his trousers in his
boots and chewing a straw. His
olothes are not from the top shelf
any more. They are made to order.
Once in awhile you meet a youth
wearing a shirt of cIamorous coloIs
and a oelIuloid collar. aud putting
Cigar that sheds the odor of dried
onions, but he is rare He soon
finds that he is outclassed, and he
realizes that if he expects to keep
company with the Maymes and
Lotties and Bessies he must get in
the procession and be up to date.

Laughter.
Dob Taylor,s Magazfne.l

Bob Taylor's Magazine.)
Laughter is that my sterious tide
of sentiment that flows from soul to
soul and that cannot be expressed in
words; it Gibbs and flows from heart
and breaks into pearls and silvery
foam On the troubled shores of
human life; it turns the humblest
home into a palace; it makes the
pauper king Whenever its rap
turous pillows roll, we are tossed
to and fro on the sweetest waves OF
passion that heave the human
breast. Happier is he who ticklet
the ribs of his fellow men and
charms laughter TO the lips of trou
BILE, or dries tear on the cheek oil
SORROW with the sunshine of q
smile. than he who stabs his fellow
man between the ribs with the
tongue of mslIce and bitterness
and thus cruoifies laughter on the
lips of joy, or browns the sunshine
of smiles beneath Fl BOD of tears.
A king once called his wise men
and soothsayers around him and
said to them: Il sm the king of
the realm; I have wealth and glory
to nv hearts content: / have
music to charm my ears and flower
gardens to charm my eyes; L dwell
in a palace. 1 sit on a throne,
armies march when 1 command;
every wish is gratified, yet 1 am
the most miserable man in the
world. 1 cannot laugh; I'm un-
happy. Tell me wise. men, where
shall 1 find happiness; tell me,
soothsayers, how shall 1 be happy"
They held lengthy counsel and
finally appeared before the king
and said: Disguise thyself, o
King, and go out among the peo-
pie unknown to them; search for
the, happiest man in the realm;
make him give thee his shirt; put it
on and thou shalt be happy" The
king went ont disguised in quest
of the happiest man in his realm
