Ford and Terlake rode behind him. Tho
four rode alone, for the archers had
passed a curve in the road, though Al.
leyne could still hear the heavy clump,
clump of their marching, or catch a
glimpse of the sparkle of steel through the
tangle of leafless branches.
Ride by my side, / entreat of you"
said the knight, refining in his steed that
they might come abreast of him
For, since it hath pleased you to fol-
low me TO the wars, IL were well that you
should know how, you may best serve me.

yourself a worthy son of a valiant ia

Edricson, that you are mindful of the old
time house from which all men know that
you are sprung. And first l would have
you bear very steadfastly in mind that
our setting forth is by no means for the
purpose of gaining spoil or exacting ram

"A shrine!' cried the knight. "Then
let us put up an orison." And pulling
off his cap, and clasping his hands, he
chanted in a shrill voice: "Benedictus
dominus Deus meus, qui docet manus

HOW THE FREE AID ACTS.

An Indian Territory editor says:
IT is more fun to see a man read
a put on himself in a newspaper
than to see a fat citizen slip on a
banana peel. The narrow minded
man reads it over seven or eight
times and then goes around and
begs all the copies he can. The
kind hearted one goes home and
reads it to his wife and then goes
around to the Office and pays what
he owes.
"The successful business man,
who advertises regularly and makes
money by it, Immediately starts
out to find the editor, and then
the two walk silently down the
street and the business man takes
sugar in his'n and they both eat a
Glove or two and life is sweeter. and
peace settles down on their lives
for a moment. Such is the expei-
ience Of a mustard seed that fall on
different ground. - Echange.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMIT
TEEMAN WILLIAMS SPEAKS AT.
TABERNACLE TO BIG CROWD
RENEW ALLEGIANCE TO BOND
Article in Guthrie Capital Denounced
as False Resolution for
Publication.


cratic national committeeman of
Indian Territory opened the cam
paign in Chickasha last night by
rousing speech at the Baptist tab
ernacle on 5th street. The band was
out and after playing several popular
selections led the way to the place
of speaking where a great crowd
was gathered, Mr.. Willimas was
introduced to the audience with a
short speech by Judge N. M.
Willims.
The speaker confined himself
strictly to political issues andbrough
out several strong points in an
entirely new light. An able orat-
or, polished speaker and one who
manages to say the right thing at
the right time. Mr.. Williams held
his audience for about twenty
minutes.
1t having come to the notice of
the club that erroneous statements
concerning Hon. Reford Bond can
didate for congress from this dist
rict, had appeared in the Guthrie
State Capital the following resolut-
ion was passed with much enthus-
iasm.
Whereas, a special article from
Chickasha printed in the Guthrie
State Capital Of August the 18th
has the following reference tc Re-
ford Bond candidate for Congress
from the fifth District The Demo-
cratic candidate for congress has
alone stayed in the race, while he
is shelling the woods all around
for political games, no enthusiasm
is created here. He counted on the
general enthusiasm of the state and
district campaigns contributing
energy to his efforts in stirring the
patriotism of the voters, but be
confesses that he is disappointed
in the turn affairs have taken. "and
whereas, such article seeks to con-
vey the opinion that the democrats
of Chickasha and community are
indifferent in their support of Mr..
Bond now therefore,
Be It resolved by the democrats
of Chickasha and community that
the above report is absolutely false
and the author of such report is a
willful and malicious reporter of
falsehoOd, unworthy Of credit or
belief.
That in our opinion no citizen
of the city Of Chickasha is respon-
sible for such article, but that the
same is the product of some one Of
Mr.. Bonds political enemies, two
or three of whom visited this city
the day before such article ap-
peared in print.
That we hereby renew our alle-
glance to Mr.. Bond and pledge him
our support in his efforts and brand
the man who oontributedthe above
article as an unqualified and wilful
reporter of false statements and
wholly devoid Of truth.
That a copy Of this resolution be
furnished the Chickasha EXPRESS
and a copy be furnished the Cuth-
RE State Capital the paper in which
the culprit published his false
statement, with the request that
each paper publish the same.

Scientist Who Would Fathom Mys-
teries Of Nature Takes Pleasure
in Possible Disco veries.


The real exploration Of the
world has to be done, and endless.
ly done over, by men who go to its
fields of land and sea for very def
mite purposes to satisfy the
needs of the learning of their time,
says N. S. Shaler, in Allan
tic. Only the mere fringes Of this
endeayor will be devoted to climb
ing peaks or winninga a few miles
nearer to a mere geographical
definition such as the north or
south pole. The cause of true ex-
ploration will be vastly advanced
when some real observer with the
spirit Of the naturalist finds him
self within, say, 80 miles Of the
poles with sea beneath him that
by soundings proves that there is
no land polewards, who then delib-
erately gives up the satisfaction
OF putting his feet a little nearer
to that field in which the wobbly
axis Of the earth ends, in order
that he may save time and force
for better uses. That man will
stand for the new type Of explorer
who represents the motive of our
time as the captains Of the Span
ish forays in the new world repre-
sented the creed and brutal form
of the impulse 400 years ago. We
are to glance at those fields that
await the modern explorer, and
are to give him the same inspira-
tion that the men of old won when
they knew they "were the first that
ever burst into the silent sea" "
There is, it is true, certain mere
physical delight in being thus won
In mere seeming, for it is rarely
we are sure that we are the first
in the seeming unknown But this
delight is somewhat childish; it is
like that Of the big game hunter
who has the satisfaction that in
killing an elephant he has done
what no one else has done, or will
do, for that particular beast. Most
newly-discovered seas have been
plowed by unknown keels and
there are few square miles Of land
that have not been trodden by
many feet. The mountain-climber
lone of the commonest embodi-
ments Of the exploring motive
most often finds on the virgin sum
init or canyon a beer bottle and
the card Of John Doe.
