who, | wonder, invented that little
tab which now forms a part of the
pasteboard stopper of milk and cream
bottles?" said a housekeeper the other
day The top shows no patent stamp,
so far as I've been able to discover,
yet it's of more practical value than
nine .tenths of the larger household
patents upon which thousands of dol
lars are annually expended.
How many forks, hairpins, hatpins,
lcepicks and screw drivers one ruined
in month before this tab was dis
covered How much matutinal pa
tience was shattered by the trick of
the little slabs of pasteboard devel-
oped of subnerging themselves in the
bottles! Then some one bethinks him
s1is or herself of cutting out stopper
with tab to it. You pull the tab
and the stopper lifts out as good as
pie. The inventor, whoever he may
be. is a public benefactor."

AMERICA LEADS IN MOTORS.
French Manufacturers outstrpped In
the Race Already.

Paris.-"Just as American agricul-
tural machines do practically all the
work in the fields throughout Europe.
so It win certainly be in a couple Of
years with American automobiles on
all the roads in Europe. France point
ed out the automobile way, America
win reap all the profit by walking in
it"
SO laments the trade journal of the
French motor car makers. 1t asserts
that careful scrutiny Of the machines
touring the great auto routes in
Europe this summer proves that the
United States Is rapidly making for
supremacy in the construction of auto
mobiles: supremacy which France
occupied only a year or two ago and
from which It seemed she never was
to be dethroned.
Foreign travellers now bring over
their own machines and these exc
often American, even while their own
ers are not. The writer says, almost
tearfully. that most OF the safest,
strongest and most nearly silent motor
cars he met in various countries were
American made.
Germany and Italy make most Of the
scorchers and racers.

Ideas Of elq Battles.

"a Cuban's idea OF war differs very
materially from that Of the natives of
other nations" said an American.
Contrast It with the idea of a Jap
anese. These little orientals never
think they have had battle unless
there has been a loss running up into
hundreds or thousands.
IN the first days Of the recent out

sent this report from Pinar del Rio to
Havana: We met portion Of Guer-

TWO FIRES
BOTH TODAY

This afternoon at 2:l5 o'clock the
old shack on North First street near
the Zimmerman residence took fire
and burned, the destruction being al
most complete. The property was just
an old shell and belonged TO bob"
Owens Of Muskogee. The origin Of
the fire is a mystery.
This morning at II o'clock the fire
department was called to the house Of
Engineer Workman in the shadow OF
the waterworks plant, TO suppress a
blaze in the grass. The department
arrived in time to save considerable
property.

Chaplin, for her baby to wear.
Years afterward Mrs. Chaplin passed
It on to her friend, Mr. J. G. Whittle-
sey. and Horace Whittlesey was the
next baby TO wear the little garment
Mrs. Horace Whittlesey dressed little
Mariana in the famous frock the
other day, but she didn't allow her to
make mud pies while she had it on
in fact, she wore it only half an hour,
and the dress was then put carefully
away.
The pretty little garment is made
with low neck and short sleeves, and
Is one piece from neck to hem. It is
shirred at the top, the hem finished In
genuine Mount Mellick embroidery,
and French knots are scattered over
the dress. The material is the finest
linen.

Mr. Sessions has held the office of

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
Governor Hoch Issues one Fixing
November %.

Governor Hoch has issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
belief in an overruling Providence
in the affairs Of men has characterized
civilized people in all ages. From the
day the Pilgrim Fathers landed at
Plymouth Rock down to the present
time it has characterized the people of
this country. The custom, long estab-
lished, of devoting one day to a recog-
milton of this great faith and fact is a
beautiful and appropriate one and
should constantly grow in public favor.
He reads American history with i'm
perfect vision who does not see upon
every page of it the i'm press of an Al
mighty hand. Let US believe that when
Columbus first stepped upon this con-
tinent and, kneeling in the sand, con-
secrated it to God and humanity, his
act had in it both providence and
prophecy, and let US believe that the
principles of civil and religious liberty
represented by our civilization and
symbolized by our flag will ultimately
girdle and glorify this globe. For the
wonderful achievements in our history
and for the marvellous prosperity which
has been vouchsafed to US in nation
and state. let US humbly render thanks
to the Giver of all good
IN full sympathy with these senti-
ments in harmony with this faith, and
in accordance with the time honored
custom, reaffirmed by recent proclama-
ton from the president of the United
States, I, E. w Hoch, governor of the
state of Kansas, do hereby designate
Thursday, the 29th day of November.
1906. as a day of Thanksgiving, and
trust that the people Of Kansas will in
public places of worship, and in private
devotions make fitting acknowledge
ment to Almighty God for all his bless
ings to US as a people

SIX CAUSES NAMED.
National Divorce Congress Agrees
Upon a General Law.

Philadelphia, Nov. lathe National
congress on uniform divorce laws held
its second meeting in this city today.
The first meeting was held at Wash
ington, nine months ago at which time
an adjournment was taken to permit a
committee to draft a bill on uniform
divorce laws to be presented to the leg
islatures of all the states. The bill
drawn by the committee names six
causes for which divorces can be grant
ed. They are infidelity, felony, bigamy,
desertion, habitual drunkenness and in
tolerable cruelty.
The committee recommends that the
various legislatures be asked to agree
on a period of residence. before appli-
cation may be made for divorce. It is
believed by the committee that this rec
ommendation if adopted by all the
states, will decrease the number of
migratory divorces.
Delegates from all sections of the
country attended tOday's session. Gov
ernor Pennypacker presided.

FrightfuI Accident to a Girl From the
Kick of a Colt.

Ell Dorado, Kan, Nov. 13.=Mary
Anderson, the eleven year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. n. P. Anderson, of
Liberty. was kicked on the head by a
colt Monday. at the home three miles
west of FL Dorado. and sustained
frightful injuries.
AS Mary ran through the lot her
flying shawl frightened a young colt
and it kicked her. The blow cut a
fearful cash three and a half inches
long over her right eye. crushing the
skull exposing the brain a space an
inch wide and two inches long and
pressing the skull against the brain.
MT. and Mrs. Anderson brought the
child here. Immediately and took her
to the Office of DIR. J. L. lyman, who
removed nine pieces of skull from the
head; the shortest piece being a half
inch in length and the longest an inch
and a half. The operation was sue
cessful, the little sufferer is doing
nicely and it is hoped will recover
