GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES.
Double Enders Popular Among Smok
ers In Mexico.

Mexico may be behind us in some
things. but she has us lashed to the
wheel, when 1t comes to making
Matches" said man just in from the
land Of the Montezumas as he handed
out a wax lucifer with a head on each
end.
Il saw nothing but double ended
matches while was away, and l can
tell you that they save ones record

down in your pocket and find one
match the chances are that you are
sure of a light, because If one end
goes out the other is left. These old
time matches, Just revived, that splut-
ter brilliant sparks may be all right

she had lost twenty-five pounds and
no food seemed to agree with her.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence Of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder. while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost Of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil Of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over $2.O00,0 900 in expenses.
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1920 in 1904, 1889 in
1905, and only 14.4S9o in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7,289, ,734,
which was an increase OF more than
80 over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law sub
stantially as 1t stands.

Foundation Of Good Citizenship.

Underlying all other needs is the cul-
uvation of individual strength of char
acter. Of self-respect, and of the sense
of personal honor. You do not
make man better man by putting
him in the employ of the state. Nor is
the fellow who criticises everybody
else, but is quietly looking out for a
chance to get little graft himself.
the sort of man who will improve the
public service. The employer, says
Gov. Hughes, in Leslie's, who will op-
press his men and treat them unfairly
will oppress the people if he gets a
chance. And the employe who will
cheat his employer, or the represents
tive OF union who will betray it for
his own advantage, will cheat and be-
tray the public if he is put in office.
The man who thinks the first object
in life is to serve himself, and who
thinks that the American idea is
every man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost," will never be a
faithful servant for the people.

Klno Alfonso as a Father.

According to the old saying, babe

in most cases. Yet you never can
tell. Something appears to depend on
the station in life which the babe is
assigned to fill. That the young king
of Spain is happy papa since the
heir to the throne arrived cannot be
doubted. Yet there are ample indica-
tions that the proud father Is deeply
impressed with the responsibility Of
bringing up the infant in proper fash

Spanish soldiers" But compromise
has been effected by having the vari-

A San Francisco woman is suing her
wealthy husband for divorce because
he compelled her to eat pumpkin pie
three times day. No doubt he did
1t through mere kindness OF heart. He
probably thought because he liked
pumpkin pie that he was making 1t
pleasant for his wife when he com.
PEELED her to eat It at every meal.
What splendid world this world
would be II every man in it could
learn that what he thinks is right may
not always be considered right by
5thers, that what he covets most may
have no attractions for other people.
and that what pleases his appetite
may he revolving to those about him.
The San Francisco case is merely a
variation of the old story OF the saint
who had suffered martyrdom because
he could not think as others thought
or believe what he was ordered to be.

ORCHARD RECALLED.
Effort Being Made to impeach Oath o,
Wonderful Witness.


Boise, Idaho.-With Harry Orchard
recalled to the stand. first. to be for.
mally prepared by the defense for i'm
peachment, and then to be redirectly
examined. the state produced a num-
ber of letters written by the witness
and one by the prisoner. Haywood. the
purpose Of which was to show that
there had been conspiracy to deceive
Mrs. Orchard of Cripple Creek as to
the whereabouts of Orchard in the
spring and summer Of 1905.
The defense vigorously protested
against the introduction OF the matter
on redirect examination, but the court
ruled that II it was proper on redirect
he would permit the state to reopen
Its examination.
Orchard swore that Haywood said
in the spring of 1905 that Mrs. Or
lchard was repeatedly writing to him
as to Orchards whereabouts and
Orchard suggested that he write her
la series OF letters, date them at San
Francisco and have them delivered
through agents of the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners. Two were thus writ
ten and the state. producing them, se-
cured their admission. The one was
written dated Nome, Alaska. and given
to Marion Moore. then an organizer
for the Western Federation Of Miners.
to take to Alaska and mail. The state
produced the letter and over objec-
tions secured it's admission.
Next the state produced a letter
written by Haywood himself to Mrs.
Orchard. showing that the prisoner
had knowledge OF the Alaskan story.
and this, too, was admitted in evil
dence.
Orchard also testified that the re-
plies of Mrs. Orchard were sent to him
through Haywood.
The impeaching questions pro-
pounded by the defense all indicated
a purpose by the defense to show that
lat various times Orchard threatened
to kill Steunenberg because of desire
to be revenged for the loss Of his In
Iterest in the Hercules mine.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. le.-
--latest returns from the election indi-
cate that the Constitution has been
adopted 3 to I, that prohibition has
carried by at least $4,000, and that the
whole Democratic state ticket, headed
by ChSrles y Haskell, of Muskogse,
has been elected by majority of more
than 10000.
In the Congressional election, the
Democrats seem TO have chosen four Of
the five Representatives.
The candidates probably elected are:
First District-Ex-D Delegate to Con-
gress, Bill :. Mcclure, Republican.
Second Dislriet-L. L, Fulton, Dem
oerat, who defeated ex-Territorial Gov
ernor 7. &. Ferguson; Third, Jas Dav-
export, Democrat; Fourth, c. d. Car.
Ter, Democrat; Fifth, Scott Ferris,
Democrat.
The Legislature is Democratic by
large majority, ana will elect ss United
states Senators Robert l.. owen, a
Cherokee Indian, and I. p. Gore, the
famous blind orator. They were nomi-
mated by primaries IN June.
Mr.. Haskell, Democratic candidate
for Governor, formerly of Ohio, de-
elares that his majority will reach 49,
600. de says that # the people have
voted for prohibition he will see that
the Law is enforced.
{. \. Haskell is = native of Ohio,
and lawyer. For many years he was
resident Of Ottawa, Ohio, engaged in
the practice of law and later in railroad
promoting ard building. He was prom.
inent in state politics, and was can
didale for the Democratic gubernato-
rial nomination. IN 1896, as Bryan
Democrat, but was Defeated and is
charged with ten having lined up
with the Palmer-Buckner Gold DEM
oeratic faction.
Haskell located in San Antonio,
Texas, shortly afterward, but came to
Muskogee in 1901, and has since been
prominent as as railroad builder. He
was the principal writer or author of
ihe Sequoyah constitution and is re-
sponsible more than anyother man for
the present proposed constitution for
Oklahoma, having been the Demo-
cratic floor leader of the Constitution
al Convention.
