The Wonderful Power II Develops In
Its Strokes.
A fish's tail is its wings. Thanks to
the machinery Of muscle set along Its
spine and to its cleaving form, trout
or salmon can dart through the water
at tremendous pace, though Its rapid
flights, unlike the birds. are not long
ones. 1t is soon dead beat The wa
ter il not so friendly to fight as the
air. The stroke Of the fish's tail is one
Of great power, and by means Of it and
the writhing, snakelike fiexion Of the
body, high speed is reached. The
strength behind this speed is shown in
the way a fish or sea mammal out OF
the water win raise its tail and strike
the ground or boat. A fisherman told
the writer he once had rude proof Of
this power. He caught and, with aid,
got into his boat whale thresher. Aft
er lying still awhile as If spent or dy.
ing, the creature, on Its captOr ap-
preaching, suddenly lashed furiously
up and down. The startled men and
their captive between them nearly up
set the boat 1t was an experience
they wish never to repeat. The slap
ping stroke Of a helpless and landed
fish may be often spasm and nc
more, but when a large and naturally
aggressive fsh--or mammal like thi;
thresher -Iashes on the enemy ap
preaching, it does look like conscious
fight-George r. Dewar.

S. Nj RUTHERFORD FOR
UNITED STATES SENATOR

S. N. Rutherford, candidate for
United States Senate, visited Idabel
Thursday meeting the people. Mr.
Rutherford is near to our people for
the reason that he was born just
across the line in Arkansas, but has
resided in the territory for number
Of years. He is possibly one Of the
best posted men concerning conditions
Ii n this country in the state. He has
the best and broadest platform Of any.
He says it is no longer a question OF
whether the restrictions on Indian
lands should be removed. AS he says
the question is how and when. He
has issued an address to the people
setting forth his view and it is one
of the ablest and clearest expositions
Of that all-important question we
have seen.. He stands for the remov-
al Of restrictions on all and at once.
He wants no piece-meal process, but
would remove them at once. Read
his address. From expressions all
over McCurtain county it would seem
that Rutherford would be the unani-
nous choice of the people for senator
from the territory side.-McCurtain
County Gazette.

The triumph Of Cromwell! What Is
foolscap? Everybody the world over
recognizes that paper foolscap size
means standard measurement Of
thirteen inches by sixteen. yet how few
can give the reason why. In England
the paper mark was originally a crown,
and when the commonwealth was set
up Cromwell was approached as to
what mark should be used in the fu-
ture. He, with characteristic contempt
for crowns. replied, "a FOOLS cap" and
so it became and remained, for at the
restoration the matter was overlooked
until too late to act upon the ultimate
discovery London Chronicle

Dear Sir.
You are interested in the prosper
ity Of your town. You can contribute
to it materially, and give it a far
more prosperous look at the same
time.
Perhaps the public property needs
good coat Of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat with
two thirds of the number Of gallons
required Of any other. Devoe is all
paint and full measure. Devoe is the
strongest paint known. Devoe will
take care Of the property, in the long
run, for half the money required by
any other.
The reason is stated above: Devoe
is all paint and fulI-measure: the
strongest paint known.
4 E. D. Jewell, Cory, Pa. painted
his house five years ago with a mixed
paint; took fourteen gallons. Last
spring he repainted with Devoe; he
bought fourteen gallons and had four
left. Saved SIS to $40, for painting
costs two or three times as much as
the paint.
