An exchange says; THE widow of
famous government official, some
time ago in the columns of a maya
zine devoted to the interests If wom-
CD, deplored the exodus OF women
from the home into gainful occupa-
tons of the business world. In all
her life, this woman had never known
want, or lack of money, or of any
thing upon which her health or COM
fort was dependent. After the
death of her husband, his friends and
the government in consideration of
the services rendered by him, pro-
vided for her so that she might en-
Joy the same comfort to which she
had been accustomed to the end Of
her days. Not one dollar Of this
generous income was the result of
her own personal effects, aud but
for the bounty Of the country, she
might have learned something Of
the stress which forces women to
seek business occupations as a means
of maintenance for themselves oft
en- in spite of broken health-and
for the personal care Of little children
and inValids. This income was paid
her out Of money gathered from the
taxpry ers Of tue country the pay
ment Of which in thousands Of in
stances meant sacrifice and self-de-
malls innumorable to these toiling

Gossip.

SO many games were postponed last
spring because OF wet grounds that
the management of the Washington
American league team has taken the
initiative to obtain some sort of pro-
lection for the infeld against rain.
Lee lanai, local inventor, has given
the matter much thought, and believes
that he has solved the problem. He
has a device which is going to make
1t possible to play ball games on all
days, save when 1t Is pouring, and no
such thing as wet grounds sign Will
be seen if his invention will do what
he claims of it. lanai will build a
truck on very wide wheels, which will
be placed in the center of the dia-
mond. The canvas is rolled up on 1t
and will be run out in all directions,
covering the entire infcld by raeans of
small trucks, which carry the canvas
to the extremes Of the inhcd. In this
way the infeld can be covered and
protected from the rain in less than
ten minutes, and it can be cleared and
be ready for play in about the same
time
President Noyes and Manager Can
tillon had a long talk with lanai the
other day and he will soon show 8
model of his invention If the inven-
ton will do what is claimed for it, one
of the machines will be purchased and
few games will be postponed at Ma
tional Park thereafter.

SlGHTlESS ORATOR OF OKLA
HOMA MAY BE SENATOR.
Rich Aspirants for Nomination Are
Side-Tracked for Him-Career of
Remarkable Politician "A
Lawyer by Profession.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Totally blind
since his early youth, yet able to dis
Germ the political situation and to win
the Democratic nomination for United
States senator in the recent Oklahoma
primaries, Thomas p. Gore, OF Law
ton, is looked upon as one of the most
remarkable men in the southwest.
His election is regarded as almost
certain. Gore was opposed for the
nomination by two men OF wealth,
each of whom spent small fortune
in advertising and organization work.
Few people in the proposed state be-
lieved that the blind orator would
make even a respectable showing in
the primaries. But, while others were
specializing on results, Gore was max
ing a grass root campaign, speaking
personally to nearly every farmer and
laboring man in the two territories.
TO get the necessary means to travel
over the state he placed mortgage
on his home at LawtOn, stalking all
on the results of the primaries.
Gore will. if elected, be the first
blind man to occupy a seat in coz
gress. At the age OF eight he lost
his left eye, a playmate accidentally
striking him with a stick; and at the
age of II he lost the other eye
through being hit by an arrow.
Notwithstanding this affection, Mr.
Gore is man Of superior education
and is noted as an orator lie was
born sc years ago in what is now
Webster county, Miss, and at the
time that he became blind he was
page in the Mississippi state senate
and lived at the house of United
States Senator j. Z. George. From
that time until he reached the age of
16 Mr. Gore studied at home, his
mother and sister instructing him and
reading to him. His favorite book
was "The Lives of Self-Made Men"
and from this volume he says he
gained much that has been beneficial
to him in later years.
He was graduated from the schools
at Walthal, Miss, long before he at
tanned his majority, and in 1891 he
was nominated for the legislature, but
not having reached the required age
he was disqualified for the Office.
Then he taught school for several
years, went to Texas for a time, and
has lived in Oklahoma ten years.
Since reaching voting age Mr.. Gore
