II seems that George Crouch had ta-
ken fortune wheel over as a part of
his stand outfit, and it was one of the
few diversions to help pass away
the time.
Though very simple in it's workings
the Beaver county authorities claimed
that under the new statutes of Okla
homa it is a gambling device, and
awaiting an opportunity when the
crowd playing was distinctly Dolby
Springs crowd, they pulled the whole
outfit and fined them for gambling.
T. A Secrest, the merry-go-round
man, had made contract by which
the cost Of his right was to be in pro-
portion to the business he secured, and
as there was no crowd to speak of and
the swing was scarcely patronized at
all, there was but little going to the
picnic company. 1t is said that this
evidently angered the picnic managers
who determined to avenge themselves
on the Dolby crowd as a whole, and by
securing the connivance of the county
officers, succeeded in bringing about
the results as described above.
The receipts from the swing failed to
pay half the cost Of moving it over

the crowd who went over from here is
that they will not be guilty Of attend

more for the man with whom she had

Kellogg Durland thus begun his mar

dark lashes, and in them lies great

been told in English. This is curious
because there probably is not person
in the world who would not like to
hear the wonderful romance Of how a
poor little German princess became n
great sovereign, the ruler of one of the
vastest empires of earth, the mistress
of fabulously rich and bewilderingly
extravagant court, and perhaps the
most powerful woman in Europe
sunny was the childhood nickname
of this poor little princess, and after q
quiet girlhood, where there was con-
stant struggle to keep up appearances,
she was courted by wayward gallant
who was heir to mighty crown. She
lost her heart to the royal wooer, and
he, putting aside the less noble loves
of his reckless, youthful days. pledged
himself to her--persistently courted
her against wide opposition-turned a
deaf ear tho the councils of emperors
and queens who tried to discourage
the match. and after years Of battling
with diplomatic intrigue and personal
restraint, he carried his purpose, mar
ried the German princes. who was tru-
ly the bride Of his heart, and raised
her from the obscurity and poverty OF
her own home to the rank of Empress.

Hesse whom Nicholas III made Tsaritsa
