Remember-the Little Member!

You may keep your foot from slipping,
And your hands from evil deeds,
But to guard your tongue from tripping,
What unceasing care it needs!
Be you old or be you young,
Oh. beware.
Take good care,
Of the tittle-tattle, tell-tale tongue!
You may feel inclined to quarrel
With the doctrine that | preach,
But the soundness of the moral
Sad experience will teach:
Be it said or be it sung
Everywhere,
Oh, beware
Of the tittle-tattle, tell-tale tongue

ASP SURPRISED OKLAHOMA.
The Coming Retirement Of the Santa
Fe Solicitor Unexpected.

Guthrie, Ok, Oct. 6.-The quoted
statement OF Henry Z. Asp in Wash
ington that he will retire as general
solicitor OF the Santa Fe Railroad
company in Oklahoma TO his farm
near this place. came as surprise
TO his intimate friends. His official
salary Is said TO be close to $1,000
year, which is only portion OF
his income as lawyer. No person
here has been able to verify the state
ment that Mr.. Asp has resigned
When he bought his farm several
months ago he said that his years
OF hard work might cause a nervous
breakdown and that he was buying
his farm as a place of recuperation
should he need it.
For the last twelve or fourteen
years Henry Asp has welded great
influence in the political affairs OF
Oklahoma and has worked continu-
ously under high pressure, His re-
sponsibllties in looking after the af'
fairs OF his company have caused
him to look with dread upon the ap-
proach OF each legislature, where the
men feared were not those who were
honestly. for the proper control OF
railroads, but those who dishonesty
used their opportunities to harass
corporations.
Mr. Asp went TO Washington to
lay before Attorney General Bona
parte an exhaustive brief discussing
in detail the proposed Oklahoma con
st,tution, pointing out provision I
alleged 10 be unrepublican in form.
The brief contains probably 10000
words and was prepared with the
greatest possible care. From this
brief many persons in Oklahoma ex'
pect Attorney General Bonaparte

his advising President Roosevelt to
withhold his statehood proclamation
