A Happy Young Bride.

One of the happiest young women
in town was married only a few
months ago, but her troubles began
when she tried to think what to get
her husband for a birthday present.
Fortunately she consulted Wangler
Bros. our popular Druggists and they
suggested box of Wadsworth Bros.
"Chicos. -
Mr.. Young husband congratulated
his wife on her good Judgment in
selecting cigars, and saws he will not
smoke anything but 'Chicos'' in the
future, not only because his wife gave
them to him, but because they satisfy
his fastidious taste exactly, and just
meet the needs of his pocketbook.

made with long Havana filler, are

Exit Ceoroe.

The time was approaching midnight.
The old gentleman was listening from
coign of vantage at the head of the
stairs. He had been there In his stock
ing feet for as long as thirty-two min
utes. The young man was lingering
at the front door with the old gents
daughter. AS lingerer he was a
success, and he was aided and abetted
by the girl. This also the old gent
knew as well as several other interest
ing things. That's why he became
tired of listening at the head Of the
stairs. At last he heard shutting of
feet.
"It's so hard to say good night, dar-
ling" the young man said to the girl,
who believed every word he uttered,
as they always G. before matrimony
gets In its baleful work.
Don't say 1t, George!' sang out the
old man. "Wait about five minutes
and say good morningw

with at least four and half minutes
to spare. the girl closed the front door
and George trotted along home

Paying the
Price.
By Louise j. Strong.
Copyright, 1907. by P. c. EASEMENT.

As Ordway lodged through the
stream of traffic at the crossing merry
greetings saluted him from a crowded
auto car that just missed him as it
chugged by. He bowed gravely to the
smiling occupants, observing that She
was of the number. and then he passed
on to the business appointment that
had prevented his being in the party.
1t was an appointment that he might
have easily evaded, but he felt the need
OF time to consider an astonishing reve-
lation which had been made to him
that morning.
Because r think it has gone far
enough, or too far for that matter,
and to save you the pain of refusal
! tell you this open secret" the in
former had declared magnanimously.
''for it is an open secret in our crowd,
where all have conspired to keep it
from you, that Miss Annabelle Mills
before she met you wagered box of
gloves with the girls that she would
bring you to the point of proposal-you,
the hitherto invulnerable-in three
months"
Ordway had taken the blow without
finching. He had thanked the consid-
crate revealer of secrets without COM
ment, to the mystification of that indi-
vidual, who felt cheated Of his antici-
pated sensation. 1t was instructive
self defense in Ordway, who knew
Cathcart's interest In one of the fair
wagerers and suspected the magma
nimity was but an effort to help her
to win. But he could not doubt the
truth of the communication in the face
of the evidence given.
His reflections were exceedingly bit
ter as he plunged along in an ABSORB
ton that drove all thoughts Of bust
ness from his mind. He had been an
easy victim; he had not resisted, but
had succumbed almost at once to the
wiles of the beauty. From the mo-
ment Of meeting she had stood to him
for all that is lovely, charming and

Another Office.

An apt and witty retort was that
made to the colonel Of regiment on
one occasion by an old Quaker aunt, to
whom he was complaining. He was
an unpopular officer filed with sense
of his own importance and most over
bearing in his manner to his inferior
officers, who disliked him heartily In
return and In consequence shirked
their duties whenever opportunity Of
fered.
II have a most unsatisfactory set OF
men under me-" complained the young
man, standing before the little old
Quaker lady In a pompous attitude. ~

work which should be done by them q

sign, my own sergeant"
He stopped and frowned down upon
his listener.
"And thee Is thine own trumpeter
also, William. fear" said the old
lady, with a twinkle In her eye.

true in woman, and he had early &C.
knowledged to himself the desire to
win her If possible and the determine
ton to endeavor to do so. And he had
soon become aware Of the fact, In
credible as 1t had seemed to him, that
she was not wholly averse to the win
ming. He had at last felt sure Of that
beyond peradventure, and his heart
had thrilled with the inspiring certain
ty of success, a success that he regard
ed with reverent gratitude and vows
of greater worthiness. The sly raillery
from their common associates upon
his evident and entire subjugation he
had taken as matter of course, to be
borne with the equanimity of the VIC
tor, never dreaming they were scout
ing him as an easy, an amusing victim
nor suspecting that her adorable yield
ing was insincere.
He had come to love her with all his
power to love woman. Losing her, he
would go through life alone, and the
wound of her falsity would never heal.
He had given his all for the further
ance Of a vulgar wager. had yielded
the soul of his manhood a puppet in
a game. In the just anger that pres
emily surged over him. for the moment
soaring his pain. he felt that she was
little better than a murderess. She
had known from the first. He had not
tried to conceal his love. She had de-
liberately lured him on to the wreck
ing of all that was best in him. She
was unworthy of the slightest respect.
He wondered that he could have so
loved one so utterly false. But some
inner consciousness cried out at this
harsh Judgment of her. AS he thought
over all that their intimate association
had shown him Of her character 1t
seemed impossible that she could be
the frivolous, cold hearted coquette
which the situation declared her to be,
and yet-and yet With a weary sigh,
he abandoned the effort to understand.
But the hurt remained and deepened
as he recalled his appointment with
her for that evening, an appointment
which meant that the hour had come
for the asking and answering of the
question more important to him than
life itself. And by the look In her
sweet eyes. when she granted him per-
mission to come, he had left assured
that she understood and did not repel
him.
Did II mean to her but the crown
Ing Of her mean victory? Well, she
should have the poor qualification OF
winning the senseless wager! 1t mat.
tered little to him-nothing mattered
to him now. He tried numbly to out
line a future that would take him to
distant lands and new associations,

Harmony.

We can and must have har-
mony in the Republican ranks
i'm this county as that is the
only way to elect a city and
county ticket. We can begin
by eliminating factional lines,
if there be any, by the selection
of delegates to the state conven-
ton. We can select delegates
without regard to former fac
tional differences and the con
ventiOn can instruct the dele
gates upon amy particular
question it may desire.
TO us it seems that the Re
publican party is against the
constitution and against "A ticket
under the present order of
things. If there is a change i'm
CONDITIONS before the con
vention meets then that alters
our position, but sensible Re

stand for-nothing more and

NEGROPHOBIA.

Eight thousand dollars ought to
buy considerable opposition to the
nomination OF state ticket, but as
a matter of justice the division of
the spoils should be made among
all the voters bought and not among
the white and colored leaders only.
Members of the Afro-American
League will no doubt be interested
in knowing II the rumor that some
of their leaders received $4,000 from
the wihskey men is true, and it is
perfectly natural for them to ask
whether the white or coloerd lead
ers" in this vicinity got the money.
A rumor is current that the anti
prohibitionists have paid the leaders
of the Afro-American league OF the
two territories $4,000 to oppose the
creation OF a state under the present
enabling act. Does this account for
some of the activity I'm this section
against the nomination OF state

NThe above cnppIngs are all from
the paper that does not believe i'm
a square deal for the negro. The ed
itorials clipped show that the editor
desires TO make the public believe
that Coody Johnson, the chairman of
the league and his committee on
resolutions which was composed of
II. Emmett Stewart and others are
guilty OF getting some money from
the whiskey men. No decent men
believe that there was any money
paid by whiskey men TO any OF our
leaders of the league and all ne
groes know who our leaders are. The
only white man from Muskogee who
attended the meeting at Oklahoma
City was Major Booker who contrib
uted to pay for the meeting place
(The Oklahoma City crowd had
place of meeting) Doug knows the
negroes are against the Haskell con-
stitution because it is dangerous to
his future i'm this state as hell to
a powder barrel and We believe the
reason Doug favors the adopting and
amending is that he and fellows who
concur with him are for the disrupt
ing of the republican party and the
damning of the negro. We wonder
why Doug has failed to reply to the
article I'm the Guthrie State Capital
i'm which Greer charges that some
paper in Muskogee (presumably re-.
publican 'paper) was in on the $5,-
600 deal gotten up by democrats at
Oklahoma City to create dissension
i'm the republican party. Was Doug
in on that deal?
On behalf of our leaders we brand
as an infamous lie that they got
any money as set forth in the above
clippings. We have never heard that
any leader of the league over here
was opposing a state ticket. This
paper is opposed to the damnable
misft called constitution and is
opposed to the nominating of ticket
on such a sandy foundation 1--WE are
not leader) and we will stand by
our guns and fight the Internal pred
JUDGED rebel constitution and a
ticket until hell freezes over and
then fight OH the ice.
This battle means much. In fact
everything, for the negro and while
we know there are few cusses who
wear black skins that favor Doug's
plan and resolutions, yet we know
that the great majority are against
them and their masters, the lily
whites and will stand forever against
such political freebooters and pirates.
