One of the most interesting pictures
published in any magazine is of the
New Hampshire Legislature in the
August New England. 1t is a page
picture, yet the face of every man of
the egislature-there are over four
hundred members-is distinct, as we'll
as his tag; this last put on presum-
ably by the railroad which he serves.
Frank Putnam's study of New
Hampshire political, industrial and
moral, is we'll worth reading by any
New Highlander and particularly any
native of the granite state. Portions
of it praise the good old state. Other
portions deal scathingly with abuses,
political as well as industrial, and all
intimately connected with the well
fare of the native or inhabtant. 1t
will probably rouse as great storm
of mingled denunciation and approval
as did the article ON the state of
Maine. The title, which may or
some idea of the text is New Hal4.e
shire; A Study in Industrial Vasslage,
Political Mediaevalism and the Aristo-
cratic Ideal in Public Education.
Another article which should excite
much interest in all New Hampshire
readers is Captain Whitehouse, by
Elk Governor Frank West Rollins.
This is clever character study of an
old p-country guide.

Takshan Pasha and Weir instnctivey liked each
other when they presented few minutes later.
The older felt at the others strength, and
Weir already loved him as son. They had not
much language in common; but as they talked
Mavrocorthato acted interpreter. To outsider,
the picture of asking his prospective father in
law for his daughters hand, through the medium of
a third person, might have seemed unusual if not
ludicrous; but these three could not have been
in earnest.

With all of Weir's apparent self confidence he
quaked inwardly when the interpreter began to put
the fatal question. For Rhasnehs sake he wanted
her father to like him. and he felt that the old
needed him. With Takshan Pasha's consent, the
way lay clear before him; but without it Weir's
path promised to be rough one, and he could hardly
wait to know the meaning of the Turkish conversa-
ton that was taking place. 1t had seemed to Weir

Have you no slave that you could

Greek asked. 1T may be impossible
for you ever to get them, if you do not
act quickly. Suppose the Padishah
contlscates your property, and some
one else takes possession of your
garden?'
Yes, haste is advisable" Takshan
Pasha admitted, and pondered the
subject deeply. Under the conditions
of Eastern life the faithfulness of a
slave often becomes matter of para
mount importance. No wonder that
they treat them well, and make them
feel part of the family!
There are several 1 would trust :;

the banker asked

But we do not know" the banker
persisted "Xeny does not know it,
and she is a great friend of Hanum
Rhasnehs. Why should she not go
to pay her visit tomorrow at Thera-
pia? If Hanum Rhasneh is too i'll to

So Lee Cruce got beat. His am
bltion to be the first Governor of a
new state was certainly laudable and
would have been an honor TO hand
down to the future generations of
the Cruce family as we'll a. the city
of Ardmore. Such, however, are the
exigencies of politics. Some go up
aud some GO down.
Lee Cruce, as every one knows, is
a Crittenden county boy and in the
year lSSS or 1889 was a member of
the firm of Cruce Bros, and was
selling goods at Crayneville and
trying their best to keep the sheriff
from closing the store doors aud
lacking a sign thereon. Lees agil-
ity in handing a woman down from
horse and counting out a dozen
eggs from her tin bucket was re-
markable. He could measure off a
couple of yards of bleached domestic,
wrap it up and make the. change with
lightning like rapidity. He always
said if he could make enough money
he would 20 West, therefore he
practiced close economy and attended
strictly to business. By a master
stroke of good fortune Cruce Bros,
of Crayneville, sold out. Lee gath
cred his hard earnings together and
counted it. He had s3S. 40. With
out delay he boarded a train and
went West. His phenomenal sue
cess at Ardmore is known to every
reader Of this paper He Is presl-
dent Of the Ardmore National Bank,
of which Perry ID. Maxwell is cash
Ter, and Is worth over sl0U, 900.
! His real worth as man is attested
BY the close race he run for the nom
ination for Governor against the
most popular man IN the Territory.
The over-confdence Of his friends
probably had a great deal to do with
his defeat. The vote in Oklahoma
proper was very light, and in fact
it was very light in the Chickasaw
nation and Carter county and even
Ardmore. The people of Ardmore
just knew he would be elected.
1t appears at this writing that
there is no chance for him unless
the official count by the State Cen
trail Committee should discover some
error, which of course is very un-
likely.

ROAD DEPARTING Mt
MEN ARE ARRESTED

Arthur Fitzsimmons and Frank Enas,
two employees of the road department,
were arrested last night on warrants
charging them with being accessories
to the dynamiting of fish at Kakaako.
It is alleged that they took part in
the fishing and that they furnished the
giant powder with which the fish were
killed. There will be no warrant sworn
out for Charles Costa, on account of
the fact that the police have only the
evidence of one man against him in
two separate cases, and it is doubtful
if a conviction could be obtained.
