OLD GRAVE STONES ExcAvATED.

While making the excavations for
the new Mcclure Realty Building. the
workmen unearthed three gravestones
bearing the following inscriptions:
Infant son of j. NJ and B. E.
Force, born January s, 1854"
annie, daughter of T.. L. and c. l..
Crittenden, born January 10, 1914, died
December 4, 1874"
Granville S. Crockett, born Decem-
ber "a, 1899. died February 20, 1886
How these gravestones came to be
under the Old Mansion House is the
question.
The stone for Annie Crttenden was
intended for "Anne Innes Crittenden,'
daughter of Gen. Thos. l.. Crittenden,
and was not used because the name
was incorrectly spelled.
It may be that sGms >cnS can give
information as to the other two, if so
We would be glad to know it.

THE GREAT AND MIGHTY.

oh. wad some power the gift ia
gae us. to sac ourselves as ithers sac
us" Simply because we had the temer-
ity, from sad experience. to protest
against making a stable out of part OF
the Opera House. the great and Nigh
ty Journal proceeds to chew us up
and spit us out asserting that We
were the only persons protesting
against the damage to that property.
1t may be that we are not quite so
smart and know it all as the afore-
said. but still we continue to protest
in the name of the ladies of Frankfort
against such use of the Opera House.
The editor of the Roundabout has
never yet attended any pony or horse
shows" in the Opera House, and that
has nothing to do with the question, if
he had.
The stable would not be near" the
Opera House, but a part of the build
ing, and no one can deny that the
building is not as attractive. from
many causes. as it ought to be. and
should not be further handicapped.
Let the great editor ask any lady of
Frankfort what she thinks of this
proposition, and he will know more
than he does now.

FAST TRAVELLING.

A reputable periodical is responsible
for the statement that one can buy a
ticket around the world" in any first
class railway ticket Office; that is,
that a ticket can be bought from Gin
cinnati to Cincinnati, which will meet
all the railways and steamship ex-
penses, make all connections, and al
low stopovers at any point OF interest,
making the trip in from nine months
to two years, according to the time
one has to spare and the money one
wishes to spend. 1t goes further and
tells us that Jules Verne's famous
traveller who went around the world in
eighty days is back number" and
that his achievement is out Of the
line of march altogether, for the same
feat may now be accomplished in forty
days.
OF course while this may be done.
it is not advisable to try it unless one
wishes to run away from something
for dear life; in twenty days, this
kind of rapid transit" would put one
half way round the world and COM
paratively out of reach.-Our Country

CENTAURS OF THE SEAS FAR
SOU H."
Are kentuckians Turning to Horses
(By G.. E. MerrlIl.)

(By c. e. MerrlIl)
This little book, just issued from
the press of j. E. Hughes, Lexington,
KY, is attracting wide attention as
the literary hit of the season.
The author was shipwrecked and
thrown on the island in the Pacific,
where he spent two years among the
Centaurs-the genuine horsemen,
horsewomen and hOrse-children of the
new Utopia. The manners and actions
are faithfully depicted by the writer
of this entertaining and instructive
fantasty of twenty pages.
The moral impresses kindness to
mans best friend, and many amusing
incidents of the writer's two years
stay on the island are related. Com
petent critics pronounce it as original
and unique as Gulliver's Travels.
The book is dedicated to Mrs. A. Fl.
Hampton, of Winchester, KY, whose
quick conception of the moral of the
story inspired it's publication

PRESS DEPARTMENT NATIONAL
WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOClA-
TON, WARREN, OHIO.

The Women's National Trades Union
League recently held simultaneous
meetings in New York. Boston and
Chicago. All meetings were largely
attended. The coming of the industri-
al women into the suffrage ranks will
greatly strengthen those ranks. be-
cause the self-supporting woman is de-
termined and because she is self-sup-
porting. They sit quietly by and hear
themselves declared intellectually in
ferior. They allow their own sons to
speak of them as dependents.
At the New York meeting, Mary
Dreier said :"Woman's entrance into
the industrial world is developing
social conscience in women. as it has
done in men. and more and more of
us are seeing the vision without which
people perish as the Prophet has said"
Rose Pastor Stokes declared: IF suf-
frage comes to women, it will come
through the working women and not
through the club women A woman
suffrage resolution was passed.
The Chicago meeting was held at
Hull House. Delegates were there
from Ohio, Michigan. Indiana, Wiscon-
sin. Minnesota and Missouri. This di-
vision resolved to ask the Federal
Government to appoint woman upon
the National Labor Bureau.

Y AN ALL RIGHT

How are you?" asked the editor as
the fat man entered his sanctum.
q am all right" was the prompt
and cheerful response.
Il am all right" Now isn't it re-
freshing, in the midst of crooked
and perverse generation" to meet a
man who is absolutely "all right?"
His liver was all right, his mind all
right, his town, every thing else all
right-at least he said 50. If he was
bilious or sore" about anything or
anybody he didn't say SO.
Maybe he was all right, may be
he wasn't. It makes no difference
he said he was and saying and think
ing helps to make it so.
The world likes man who is all
right or one, who if he is not so,
keeps his troubles to himself. It may
be proper to tell your troubles to the
policeman, but spare your friends
and your enemies.
The man with tale Of woe is at
discount on the market. He is
generator Of disease and gloom. He
ought not to be permitted to run at
large seeking whom he may devour.
Give US the man who is all right,
the dispenser of sunshine, gladness
and good cheer. The world has use
for him. He is a joy forever May his
tribe increase.

THE SCHOOLS AND PATRONS.

The public school is often called
the ''bulwark of the nation
It is a fitting phrase. On no one
institution is the welfare Of the ma
tion more closely dependent than up
on the public school.
The nation will rest upon a secure
or insecure foundation, win 90 for
ward Or backward, according to the
manner in which the public school full
fills its mission.
In the public school the citizenship
Of the nation is moulded. Setting
aside the factor Of home influence.
which is always of prime Importance,
the influence of the public school will
be the determining factor in making
good or bad citizens.
The one aim Of the public school,
from the point Of view Of the state,
is to produce an intelligent, patriotic,
sturdy, honest citizenship.
The public school is the peoples
school. It must draw its life and
support from the people. Without
the hearty support Of the people. II
cannot be a success.
It is the custom in every com
cunity to point with pride to our
public schools When a stranger
comes to chickasha, one of the first
things we tell him about is our four
magnificent school buildings and the
splendid opportunities we provide for
the education Of our children. It Il
the proper spirit; it helps the town
and it helps the schools.
Our public schools in Chickasha are
not all we would have them, nor all
we expect them to become. There is
room for great improvement as there
is in every system Of schools and in
every other institution. Patrons Of
the schools dif5er n their ideas a. 70
