THE REASON,

The editor of the Bloomington
Paragraph recently made the fol-
lowing announcement: ''In these
days When SO many people go
wrong, it may be we'll enough to
remember how many there are who
go right. The newspapers blazon
all the bad breaks of humanity,
bat they do not pretend to keep
truck Of all who behave themselves
aid are faithful to every trust. "
The reason is obvious. For one
person who goes wrong, thousand
or more go right. But going wrong
is sensational news, and doing
right is taken for granted The
exception TO the rule makes the
''story."

DON'T BE GROUCHY.

If things don't come your way,
don't indulge in morbid repinings,
but take an optimistic view. Go
easy, go slow, until you settle
down to a steady gait. If worries
come, as they have way CT doing,
think that something better will
follow, and nerve yourself not TO
show the world that you are stag
gering under a blow; if losses too
great to be borne almost crush you,
let the effort to hide them nerve
you to show a calm front. To take
life easy is half the battle. Ma
ture has endowed each and every
one of us with a certain reserve
force that always stand US in need.
Ii, by over indulgence, either men
tai or physical, we exhaust the
supply, nature exacts a penalty
chat must be paid. The rapid fire
of ambitions is too exhausting,
nature rebels against the strain.
People who are the pleasantest
companions, and those who live
longest are those who take life
seriously, and yet who do SO in a
calm, unruffled way that makes no
sudden demands on the reserve
force. Cultivate good DISPOSE
ton, if you have not go one. Do
your best to please others. To
make others happy is the most
compromising job one ever holds
down. 1t is pastime rich in the
blessings of happy face. Take
life easy. Don't let little things
ruffie you. There are too many
great trials in life for one to waste
time and emotion over little
things.

The present national deficit of
$50, 100000, it is estimated, will
be enlarged to $100,0OO,00O by
June of next year, and the fact is
causing no little concern to Repub-
lican leaders in Washington, In
deed, to such serious stage has
the trouble reached, that the re-
imposition of the internal revenue
tax upon many articles taxed as
result of the Spanish-American
war, is contemplated. Reformers
seem to come high in national as
we'll as in state affairs.

The fear of death, which has
been so enormously exploited in
dramatic literature, sacred and
otherwise, is said to be almost
without existence in sickness.
Most patients have lost it COM
pletely by the time they become
seriously i'll.
Death aud sleep are both pain
less, according to DR.. Woods Hut
Gibson IN the American Magazine,
and cause neither fear nor anxiety
by their approach. 1t is one of
the most merciful things in nature
that the over whelming majority of
the poisons which destroy life,
whether they are those of infec-
tious diseases or those which are
elaborated from the body's own
waste products, oct as narcotics
and abolish consciousness long
before the end comes.
While death is not in any sense
analogous to sleep, 1t resembles it
to the extent that it is in the vast
majority of instances not only not
painful but welcome. Pain-racked
and fever-scorched patients long
for death as the wearied toiler
longs for sleep.
While many of the processes
which lead to death are painful,
death itself is painless, natural,
like the fading of a flower or the
falling of leaf. Our dear ones
drift out on the ebbing tide of life
without fear, without pain, with
out regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes
close enough so that we can see
the eyes behind the mask his face
becomes as welcome as that of his
twin BROTHER" sleep.

today approved the articles of in
corporation of the State Bank of
Amber, capitalized at $4,000.
The officers are: President, E. w.
Frey; vice president, Fl. M. Smelt-
ser; cashier, /. T. Hemingway.
Mr.. e. w. Frey left Marietta for
the West September, 1901, and af-
ter spending some time in viewing
Texas, Indian Territory and Okla
homa Territory, he located tempo
rarily at Shawnee, Okla. where he
engaged in the real estate and in
surance business until he could get
his bearings and fully decide where
to locate permanently ard open a
law office, which profession he had
successfully followed for eight
years just prior to leaving for the
West.
During his stay of fifteen months
at Shawnee, his demeanor had been
such as to recommend him to the
minds of the business public. He
was selected by company of them
to GO to Bokchito, /. T., and open
and cashier the First National
Bank of Bokchito. He was also
selected as one of it's directors, and
has ever since remained it's cashier
and a director.
The close confinement and large
amount of work incident to the
welfare of the bank, and his per-
sonal affairs on the outside, caused
his health to give way, in a meas
ure, and he decided to get out in
the open air for year or 80. Soon
after getting out he was wanted by
a friend at Hartshorne to cashier
and look after the interests of the
First National Bank at that place.
Mr.. Frey went to Hartshorne, leav-
ing his family at Bokchito, and
stayed five months with isfriend.
He would visit his family every
couple of weeks and look after his
personal affairs while visiting. At
the end of this five months the
First National Bank of Hartshorne
had been put on a good footing and
earning money, SO Mr.. Frey went
back to Bokchito. However, while
at Hartshorne he learned of q
splendid town site location near
Chickasha. He bought it, paying
81 900 for 100 acres. This was
plotted, two-Shirds of it sold, and
the gross sales, so far, amount tC
about $4,000. He has taken q
great interest in building uI
churches and schools in the new
town. In order TO further the in.
terests Of the community, Mr.. Frey
has taken charge of the schools fol
the year 1908 aud 1909. The town
was named Amber, and now has
several business houses, grain ele.
vators, gin, three church organiza.
tions and a school of about 15C
pupils, and the third best school
house in Grady county, Oklahoma
where thrse teachers are employed.
Besides, he has secured for the
town railroad, telephone, tele.
graph and express facilities. They
have just organized the Amber
State Bank, under the laws of Ok
lahoma, and Mr.. Frey has been
chosen president of it.
The town is located in the heart
of one of the very best agricultural
sections of the State of Oklahoma
aud has now about three hundred
inhabitants.
Mr.. Frey is now the cashier of
and director i'll the First National
Bank of Bokchito, Okla; presi.
dent of the Amber State Bank, of
Amber, Okla. and principal of the
Amber schools.

Realize How Narrow Are the
Prospects for Victory
In the District.
CULLOP A STRONG MAN.
He WILL MAKE CLANCY HUS-
TIE AND HOPE is ALL THE RE-
IN THE CAMPAIGN.

indianapolis, Aug. 1S.-The republic
can situation in the second district is
more encouraging than it was few
weeks ago and is improving right
along, according to reports that are
coming into state headquarters. Not
long ago the democrats were claiming
and it looked as If there was good
ground for the claim. that w. A. Gull
1op, their candidate for congress in
that district would defeat Congress-
man CLANCY. 1t was admitted that
Cullop is the strongest candidate the
democrats could have nominated and
that he will come nearer defeating
CLANCY than any other man in the dis
trict could have done.
Cullop will carry the full strength
of his party and this fact taken in con-
nection with the fact that CLANCY S
majority two years ago was less than
six hundred, shows the kind of fight
that is on in the second district and
the possibility that the democrats may
win. In addition to this there are
local republican splits in two or three
of the counties of the district that may
cause trouble for the ticket all along
the line.
In spite of all this. however, reports
come from the second district that con
ditions are improving and that the re-
publicans are more likely to get to-
gether now than was thought possible
q short time ago.

But Sally Was the Angel.

1t took Seffy a long time to array
himself as he had threatened. Aud
when it was all done You wouldn't
have known him-you wouldn't have
cared to know him For his fine vel
low hair was changed to an ugly
brown by the patent hair-oil with
which he had dressed it-and yor
would not have liked its fragrance. I
trust Bergamot, | think it was. His
fine young throat was garroted within
a starched standing collar. his feet
were pinched in creaking boots. his
hands close-gaantleted in buekskin
gloves, and he altogether incomRas-
able. uncomfortable, and triumphant.
Down stairs his father paced the
floor watch in hand. From time to
time he would call out the hour like a
Waterman on a minaret. At last:
Look a-yere. Sehy, its about two
inches apast sefen-and by the time
YOU git there-say, meier git another
Teller a chance to git there afore you
or to leave after you."
Seffy descended at that moment
with his hat poised in his left hand
His father dropped his watch and
picked it up.
Both stood at gaze for a moment.
"Sunder, Sef! You as beautiful as
the sun, moon and stars-and as
stinky as seferal apothecary shops.
Yere, take the watch and git along
