SAVAGE FLING AT AUDIENCE.
inebriated Orator Resented Disapprov-
al of His Condition.

Like many a statesman of the
past said Senator Beveridge. "he
drank too much. And one Fourth of
July morning, or a platform hung
with flags and flowers before the
courthouse of a country town. facing
an audience of farmers and their fam
lilies that had come from miles around,
the statesman arose to deliver the In
dependence day GRAFTON in a slightly
intoxicated state.
He was not incapable of an ora
ton, but his unsteady gait. his flushed
face and disordered attire spoke i'll
of him, and the audience Kissed.
He held up his hand. They were
silent. Then he laughed s~cornfully
and said:
Ladies and gentlemen. when a
statesman of my prominence consents
to appear in such a little, one-horse
town as this, he must be either drunk
or crazy. l prefer to be considered an
inebriate.' "-Washington Star.

A Young Financier.

A certain city man, in order to i'm.
press business methods on his son
early in life, told the youngster that
if he would see that the gas bill was
paid before a certain day each quar-
ter he could have the discount for
himself.
The boy took very kindly to the idea,
and captured the discount every time
the bill came in. To his fathers sur
prise, however, the gas bill began to
increase in a remarkable manner. He
found one night that his son was
burning gas all over the top of the
house from ten o'clock until six
o'clock the next morning. The young
ster had become a Napoleon of finance
and had discovered the fact that the
bigger the bill the bigger the discount.

B0RAx! NATURES DISINFECTANT,
CLEANSER and PURIFIER

Everybody realizes the necessity of
some method of publication Of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may Turk
the germ of a dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense-all of which are unpleasantly
associated with disagreeable odors. on
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (Which di~sinfectants must of
necessity be of a more or less danger
Gus ~character) and must be used for
this purpose and for no other, and in
careless handling.
There is. however, within the reach
of all our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every ~disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multitude
of domestic cleansing and purifying
purposes-Borax.
Borax is a pure, white harmless pow-
der coming direct from Natures lab
oratory; in fact Borax has often been
called Natures Cleanser and Disin-
f~ectant."
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in a
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of a sink, or
flushed through a d~isease-laden drain,
cleanses and p%urifies it, leaving it
clean and sweet.
BED clothing and clothes used in a
sick o can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, if washed in
a hot solution of Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion if Borax is
used When washing them. Pure as
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause it can be used for almost every
domestic and medical purpose, Borax
must be considered the n great
household necessity.

BESSIE AND THE FLOWERS.
A Little Convention in the Garden
That Did Good.

Bessie went into the garden to play.
1t was the big flower garden, and
many, many of the blossoms were just
coming into beautiful bloom. Bessie
loved to look at the blossoms, but she
did not consider their rights, so she
began pulling them off and throwing
them on the ground. After she had
destroyed a great number of the most
beautiful blossoms that had been smil-
ing SO sweetly at her she heard a
voice saying just at her elbow: Now,
little girl, since you have killed SO
many of my beautiful and innocent
comrades, how do you feel? Are you
glad to look at those dying blossoms
lying about on the ground? Were they
not much more pleasing to your eye
when they were living and nodding in
the breeze and smiling toward blue
heaven? And how sweet was their
fragrance, too, for it fioated about in
the air making it delicious to the hui
man nostrils. All. little girl, do you
know how wicked it is to wantonly de-
s'roy these dear fOwers?'

PoIiteness.

It was the last day of the term in
one of u public kindergartens. The
children were all seated around the ia
bles thoroughly enjoying the treat of
ice cream which the teacher always
provided on this occasion.
CHANGING around the room at the
beaming faces of the children, the
kindergarten noticed n child pick
up his plate and lick it.
She went up to him and said in a
low tone of voice: Freddie, put down
up and lick it."
Fred obeyed at once, quietly plac-
Ing his plate on the table. He then
put his head down to the plate ecd

There is usually some convincing ar

and will last for several hours in spite
of the fact that the liquid is no longer
lukewarm.
Hydrogen gas will be generated, es-
Gaping through the rubber tube, and
the gas may be used for any of the
experiments described in books on
chemistry. 1t should not be ignited
directly at the end of the tube unless
fully a quarter of an hour has elapsed
after the beginning of the efferves-
cence. Disregard of this caution might
cause an explosion on account of the
oxygen left in the bottle.
A given weight of aluminium dis
places almost four times as much by
drogen as is evolved by the same
weight of zinc, and some day, there
fore, aluminium will be used instead of
zinc for the industrial preparation of
hydrogen. The method is at present
more expensive than the ordinary
zi~nc-and-acid process, yet it should be
gwen the preference in several cases
on account of the following two
points Of superiority:
/. The gas is free from hydrogen
a%rsenide, hydrogen sulphide and acid
Vapors. Its greatest purity becomes
especially apparent when it is used to
initiate soap bubbles. With the class
lcal apparatus the experiment cannot
be made unless the gas is purified
after leaving the bottle, because the
acid vapors it carries along break the
bubbles long before they reach any
considerable size.
?. The apparatus q simpler and the
operation easier than in the case OF
the z~inc-and-acid process. There is
no need of a Wolff bottle with a ON
trivance for the gradual addition of
small amounts of one of the reagents.
All the needed alkali is placed in the
bottle at the outset, and the gas is
generated continuously and regularly
until the last bit of aluminium has dis

THE GARDEN SPOT OF THE EARTH
Many People Planning to Go to
Southwest Oklahoma.

The removal of restrictions on In
dian lands in the Indian Territory por-
ton of Oklahoma, is creating great in
terest throughout the nation among
capitalists looking for investments and
planning to establish manufactures, as
well as among the tillers of the soil
who hope to better their condition.
Chickasha is situated in the Washi-
ia valley, the center of the choicest
of the Indian lands, and to that city
will go those who study the situation
intent on reaching the vantage point.
Seven railroad lines diverge there.
Water plants will furnish to manufac-
tories cheap electric power.
Chickasha ships more corn, more
cotton and more live stock than any
other point in Oklahoma.
The modern built business district
in the valley and beautiful residence
portion on hills make a veritable
dreamland. The imposing churches
and modern school buildings are mon
uments to the character of the citizens
who erected them.
The country for which Chickasha is
the market center ranks with the most
productive in the world. Corn, cotton.
wheat and alfalfa are grown with
equal success to that of either crop
in a one crop country. Garden truck
ing is to be one of the most profitable
pursuits. Fruits of all kinds grow and
produce luxuriantly. In fact, Grady
county, of which Chickasha is the
capital, is the garden spot of the
earth.
Chickasha has a live Commercial
Club which promptly answers letters
of inquiry regarding the section to
which the eyes of the nation are Just
now directed.
