FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES.
Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow
Minded New Yorker.

Oklahoma amazes an easterner. The
wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass
fronts of department stores, the clean
sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried
shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan
air you find in Oklahoma City, for eX-
ample, seem marvels to find in ter
ritory only II years old. But do not
say so.
A New Yorker who went there on
business complained that fate was
trusting him into a wilderness, and
ais Oklahoma associates could not re-
assure him. But coming down to
breakfast the first morning, at his
hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared
around in wonder as he entered the
dining-room.
This" he exclaimed, this is Okla
homa!! Why, do you know?" conf
dentially. 81 even found a porcelain
bathtub in my room"

He Was Not 70 Blame.

Little Bartholomew mother over
heard him swearing like a mule
driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He
displayed a fluency that overwhelmed
her. She took him to task, explaining
the wickedness of profanity as well
us its vulgarity. She asked him where
ne had learned all those dreadful
words. Bartholomew announced that
Cavert, one Of his playmates, had
taught him. Cavert's mother was
straightway informed and Cavert was
brought to book. He vigorously de-
MED having instructed Bartholomew.
and neither threats nor tears could
make his confess. At last he burst
out: 81 didn't tell Bartholomew any
cuss words. Why should l know how
to cuss any better than he does?
Hasn't his father got an automobile,
too?"

How a Hero Died.

Victor Hugo tells this story Of hero
ism in the recently published book OF
his literary remains, Victor Hugo's
Intellectual Autobiography" "Anatole
Leray set out for Brussels, passed
through England and then embarked
for Australia. The day the steamer
arrived in sight of land a storm arose.
The vessel capsized. The passengers
and crew nearly all succeeded in
reaching land by means Of the life
boats or by swimming. Anatole Leray
was among the saved. Meanwhile in
the tumult of shipwreck. when the
2ell-mell of the frightened wretches
rivals the chaos of the waves and
each thinks only of himself, a half
wrecked boat had remained in the
surge and was appearing and disap-
pearing in the waves; three women
clung to it despairingly.
The sea was at the height Of its
fury; no swimmer, even among the
hardest of the sailors, dared to risk
himself They kept their eyes fixed
on their dripping garments Anatole
Leray flung himself into the surf He
struggled hard, and had the satisfac-
tion of bringing one of the women to
shore. He dashed in second time
and rescued another.
He was worn out with fatigue, torn,
bloody. They cried out to him,
Enough. enough!' WHAT said he.
There is still another And he flung
himself third time into The sea. He
never reappeared."

Rule Of Cornish chapels.

In Cornish CEng) chapels the in-
variable rule is for the men to sit
on one side of the building and the
women on the other.
A visitor and his fiancee, who are
staying in the district, went to chapel.
and just before the service began the
young man was greatly astonished
when the chapel steward, observing
that the couple were seated in the
same pew, came over to him and. in
an audible voice, said: Come on out
of that, me son; we don't ave no

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women OF the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure.
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But I'm at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz-
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom. decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall, or soiled lace in
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover, although her cloth
