When my brother Frank drew a lucky number entitling him to claim in the El Reno land district, he in- sisted that should go and keep house for him while he was holding it down."
 But you have not got any house to keep as yet" I objected; but Frank only smiled

 He was as good as his word. h. side of two weeks his house" was completed-if "dug-out" in the side of hill, with sod annex, was worthy of the name.
 You see" he explained. T got rid of the job of hauling lumber 20 miles by simply using what nature had pro- vided and placed at hand. l didn't need anything from the carpenter shop but a window and door and a few boards; these 1 took with me.

The ''business which is hurt by the movement for honesty is the kind of business which, in the long run, it pays the country to have hurt. It is the kind of business which has tended to make the very name high finance" a term of scandal to which all honest American men of business should join to put an end The special pleaders
 or business dishonesty, in denouncing the present administration for enforc- ing the law against the huge and cor rupt corporations which have defied the law, also denounce it for endeavoring to secure sadly needed labor legislation. such as far-reaching law making em- ployers liable for injuries to their em- ployes. It is meet and fit that the apologists for corrupt wealth should oppose every effort to relieve weak and helpless people from crushing misfor- tune brought upon them by injury in the business from which they gain a bare livelihood. The burden should be distributed. Any other policy is hypo- critical baseness. President Roosevelt.

-I- 1 (S1GLS POST kIeerd Subsidy to Mail Order ousesY Expense of the Public.


 ou'e' Expense of the Public.
 orge H. Maxwell, the irrigationist,
 rongly opposed to the parcels post
 me, and presents arguments
 nst 1t in his magazine, The Tails
 He puts the case thus:
 ould the mail trade have gov
 hent subsidy?
 nat is a very plain and simple
 tion, and the answer to it will also
 yer the question whether the ship
 t and delivery of merchandise by
 should be facilitated and under
 n by the government as advocated the proponents of Domestic Par
 Post extension.
 there is any good reason why
 mail trade should be encouraged government subsidy, it has never set forth by any advocate of cells Post extension.
 nd yet, that is exactly what the position amounts to in it's practi-
 application. It would not be a sidy that would create new busi- where there was none before. If
 ouId do that, it might be an argu- 1t in it's favor. Instead of doing . it would take the trade from the chants, both wholesale and retail, ! are now doing it, and transfer , new and wholly different agencies D would be enabled to secure the De because of direct advantage en to the new agencies by the 'ional Government at the expense he general public.
 Without regard to any of the many fous objections to this system of hing, based on social and economic sons, there is no possible ground |n which a subsidy for the encour- |ment of this mail trade should be en out of the United States Treas
 and at the expense of the people large.
 Ind when the effect of that subsidy lld be to break down long estab- led commercial customs, and divert
 trade from institutions now suc- sfully and satisfactorily conducting there is no more justification for h a mail trade subsidy than there uld be for the government to carry ne new brand of flour cheaper than
 old established brands-in order enable the manufacturer of the new nd to introduce and sell the pro ,t of his mills.
 The growth of the mail trade, under present limitations, has been stu ldous, and multitudes of retail and Intry merchants have been injured, l many driven to the wall by it. it's future growth would sweep 1T the country with an irresistible ce and wipe out of existence many usands of now prosperous retail general merchandise stores, if a 'sidy were granted to the mail trade the form of the proposed extensions the Parcels Post.

Phil Peters tells us a big snake
story this week. While Mrs. Peters
was sitting at the window at the
pretty home on South Second street
her attention was attracted by a big
snake crawling across the lawn just
beneath the window. She hurriedly
got hoe and proceeded to go for his
snakeship. With the first stroke she
cut it in two about the middle. The
front end, however continued in its
getaway until Mrs. Peters finally
gave it it's death blow which ended
its career. When Mr.. Peters return
ed home he took some measurements
which showed that the snake was
five feet in length and an inch and
a half in thickness. The snake had
spots about the size of half dollar
but just what variety it was he was
unable to tell. Mr.. Peters is at loss
to know just where it came from, as
a snake of this size is rarity espec-
tally right in the heart of the city.
He thinks that it might have escaped
from the Street Fair shows or been
brought into town in a load of hay
