gave him the shilling, and he started

boy came. Then 1 thought l had lost
my shilling. but still there was that In
the boys face trusted, and l did not
like to think badly Of him.
Late in the evening a servant came
and said little boy wanted to see me.
When the child was brought in, I
found it was q smaller brother Of the
boy who got the shilling, but If posi-
BILE still more ragged and thin and
poor He stood a moment diving into
his rags as If he were seeking some
thing and then said, Are you the gem

ran over him and knocked him doom.
and he lost his bonnet and his matches

that's a. he can gle We the moo, putting
fourpence down on the table. And
then the child broke down into great
sobs. So fed the little man, and then
I went with him to see Sandie.
Il found that the two little things
lived with a wretched drunken STEP
mother. Their own father and mother
were both dead. I found poor Sandie
lying on a bundle Of shavings. He
knew me as soon as I came in and
said, I got the change, sir, and was
coming back, and then the horse
knocked me down, and both my legs
are broken. And Reuby, little Reuby!

in a moment
'He lay within the light of God,

In the winter of 1863 there was much
anxiety at Washington lest Burnside
should be captured at Knoxville. One
day report came to the White House
that there was heavy firing In the d.
rection of the latter city. Lincoln, who
had been waiting during long hours
for some news, now expressed his sat
isfacton and when asked why he
found any comfort in his meager mes
sage answered: "A neighbor Of mine
In Menard county named Sally Ward

ever she heard one of them yelling in

say, Thank the Lord, there's one Of

long as there was firing in the direction
Of Knoxville Burnside was not cap

A German merchant, dining with a
Chinese mandarin at Hongkong, was
enjoying roast when the disquieting
thought struck him that he might have
been dining of cat, as he had been
told that the Chinese ate cats as well
as rats. He determined to find out.
But unluckily, the Chinaman did not
speak German, and the German did
not understand Chinese, so the German
pointed at the dish, saying, "Miau,
miau?"
The Chinaman shook his head in ne
cation and then answered "Bowwow!'

ONE KIND or DEMOCRACY

Il believe Il is best for the party
that it suffer defeat if it does not full
fiji its promises to the people-thats
my kind of democracy"
That's what Jesse Dunn said in his
speech here a few evenings ago,
How do you like it? How do you
like that brand Of democracy?
Think of It'll Defeat good for a
party! Who ever heard yellow
dog partisan make such statement?
Who evver heard blind partisanship
admit that it was best for its party
be it democratic or republican, to be
defeated? Jesse Dunn is patriot
as well as party man. But even
considered from the point of view of
party advantage, the wisdom Of his
view is apparent.
NO party can fulfill it's mission if
it does not keep faith with the people
Even, if by chance, it succeeds in

BETTER FREIGHT RATES.

Nearly every city Of any conse-
quence has a traffic association, the
object Of which is to secure the low
est possible freight rates for outgoing
and iBgoing commodities. In every
instance, the history Of such assoeia
tions shows that material reduction
in rates has been secured through per
sistant demands and the agitation
that is thus carried on. Chickasha
has made little or no organized effort
to accomplishe anything in this di-
rection and yet no subject is of
greater Importance to the commmer-
cial welfare of the city. More espec-
tally is it Of Importance to the whole
sale interests for unless a city gets
fair treatment and the freight rates to
which it is entitled it must struggle
hopelesslessly in the contest with ag-
gressive rivals. OF scarcely less i'm
portance is the subject to retailers
and consumers.
An interview given out by the
manager Of the Muskogee Traffic as
soeiation shows what that organiza-
tion has accomplished. He says:
The traffic bureau was organized 10
months ago, as an auxiliary to the
Muskogee Commercial club. Fairness
and justice has marked every move
and while considerable wholesale red
uctions in freight rates have been
secured, yet it is only small por-
tion Of what is to follow. For an
illustration compare the following
rates Of ten months ago to tie present
