LApsEs OF GREAT MINDS.
Details Frequently Known to Bans
the Man Of Genius.

To illustrate the kind of lapse Of
reasoning power from which great
inventors are known 10 suffer, Ike
that under influence Of which Sir
Isaac Newton cut one hole In wall
to let cat pass through and then =
small hole for the kitten, an old story
IN the life Of Morse will answer well.
Long before he Invented the tele-
graph Morse was known to the Of.
fieers Of the patent ONCE as a persist
ent applicant for patents. When his
great invention Of distance writing
was about completed he wanted the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad TO try t.
To get rid Of him the president Of
the road turned him over to a subord-
mate This official was struck with
the beauty OF the invention and be-
came so interested IN II that he sat
up half the night discussing It with
the inventor. At length Morse con-
fessed there was only one thing which
baaied him. "As long as the railroad
runs" he said. where poles may be
erected It win be easy sailing, but
whom we come to the big bridges what
is to be done then2 We can't erect
poles across the stream, and without
them the wire would sag and perhaps
break from its own weight. / confess

why don't you fasten the wires to
the bridge?" asked his companion
without a moments hesitation. For a
moment Morse gaEed at him with
open mouth. and then exclaimed:

thought Of that. IT'S the very way.

send IN DOLLARS
FOR DEMOCRACY

Responding to the above appeal Of
William J. Bryan, the Express today
announces that is it ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
OF course if any one feels disposed
to give more than a dollar. it will be
entirely acceptable. There is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving s1OO if he wants to.
Donations will not be limited to the
city Of Chickasha but will be accepted
from all parts of the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall Of China
and back again Every democrat Of
Grady county is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that is
needed to insure democratic victory.
It is conceded that the republicans
Will nave almost unlimited FUNDS at
their disposal this ysar-the trusts
and milionaires will dig It up. Dem
ocracy must rely for its sinews Of
war upon the free win offerings Of the
plain people.
A strict account Of every dollar will
be kept with the names Of the donors
and all will be forwarded to the prop
er custodians.
Grady county, the stronghold Of de
mocracy must do her part. Let every
loyal democrat respond to the call.

Clean Watches with Bread.
Perhaps the most novel use to
which bread is put may be seen in the
great watch factories at Elgin, H.,
where more than 40 loaves Of fresh
bread are required each day. Super
intendent George 3. Hunter Of the
watch factory is quoted as saying:
From the earliest time in the his.
tory Of Matchmaking If has been the
custom Of watchmakers to reduce
fresh bread to the form Of dough. This
Is done BY steaming and kneadlng.
They then use this dough for remov-

I wish every democratic
: newspaper would commence the
collection Of fund from its
= own subscribers. There are very
= few democrats who could not af-
ford to make small subscrip-
ton, and the people will never
be able to control the govern
ment until they take upon them
= selves tne burden Of supplying
campaign funds 4 long as a
few men furnish the money to
finance a compaign those men
win exert and undue influence
upon -e government.
= y seems that we have reach
ed the end Of corporate contribu-
tions, and that Is a step in ad-
vance, but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor
porations may still dominate poll
tics by furnishing the sinews of
war. The democratic party has
struck at this system by limit
ing contributions to $4,000 and
providing for publicity before
election. The Republican party
has SO far refused to join with
us on this proposition. but public
sentiment may yet compel it to
do so. have no doubt that the
democratic party will receive
contributions from more individ-
uals than ever contributed to
any campaign. and there is no
reason why the entire amount
should not be contributed by the
v masses.
IF every democratic paper
win take the matter up and lend
helping hand we will soon
have money enough in the treas
ury to provide for legitimate
campaign work, and that is all
we want."-William ]. Bryan.

Gowns Not Over Tiuht.

Very many gowns worn by aristo-
cratic Parisiennes show that the best
dressed women, while they have re-
stricted the number of their garments
to next to nothing. and while draping
the bust, but leaving the entire arm
and shoulder absolutely nude and one
ankle in coquettish evidence. do not,
however, drape their gowns with the
tightness that some of the sensational
dressmaker's models would lead one to
suppose. Though the draperies are
close and everything is weighted to
hang fat and straight, nothing is
stetched into a tight wrinkle. Flesh
colored or white tulle is inevitably in
side the corsage, as the corsage line
runs straight about under the arm or
extends in deep point OF square quite
to the high belt.

real estate firm privately made mp its
mind that 1t would have nothing fur.
Their to do with Bissinger If he failed
10 make good on that date. The ex-
pected happened, and all negotiations
were declared off.
The Seasongood home was recently
purchased at auction by b. F.
Thomas, of the United States en-
gineer's office, in the government
building. He intended to convert il
into a fiat building, but changed his
mind, and placed II on the market
through the agents. Bissinger secured
the key to the mansion as a prospec-
tive purchaser. and had il in his pos.
session almost a week. during which
time he was busy counting the four
women.
Bissinger said he was one of the vic.
tins of the San Francisco earthquake
claiming to have been in Europe on a
business mission when the disaster
took place, which wiped out all the
members of his family except the
baby, now a girl of ten years. He said
both of her legs had been burned OF
and told II in such a pathetic man
ner that the story gained the sym
pathies of his hearers. Bissinger said
ne was purchasing the mansion as a
home for his little girl. He claimed
TO have opened an account here with
the German National bank.
He told practically the same story
to Mr.. Ahlbrandt, at whose place he
roomed. His baggage consisted of a
suit case. Mr.. Ahlbrandt's son said
that Bissinger had shown a telegram
purporting to have come from an in
surance company, which read that
there was $4,000 TO his credit at he
German National bank
Bissinger hurriedly packed his suit
case last week and since then nothing
has been seen or heard from MIN al

Half Finished Embroidery.

For quite long time the needlework
shops have been selling pillow tops,
doilies, centerpieces and table covers
partly embroidered, so the beginner in
the art merely has to copy the work
already begun.
This is a particularly easy method
for the elderly woman whose eyesight
is not sufficiently good to choose the
shades of the silks for herself. 1t is,
too, much more encouraging to finish
work already begun. 1t gives an i'm
petus, a desire to see it complete. quite
lacking when just the stamped ma
terial is lying in the work basket.
Besides embroidery one may also
buy bits of drawn work in which the
threads have already been pulled and
one corner is finished. AS so few know
the intricate stitches, it is far better
to invest in one of these-even IL II
costs somewhat more.

POINTS OF FRENCH LINGERIE.
The New Undergarment is Worn
Under the Petticoatless Gown.

Lingerie dresses for grownups are
being made of sheerest null without
scrap of lace of any kind, but COW

In white and richly raised. The de-
sign is massed about the torso, bust,
waist and hips, the skirt set on to the
bodice with beading and a sash
wound loosely twice about the figure.
but weighted at the ends. This sash
Is in printed silk with the design
massed on the ends above deep fringe.
The neck and hem of the null gown
IS trimmed simply with hem-stitching
and tucks, and the short embroidered
sleeve is straight and wide enough TO
reveal the arm bare to the shoulder,
/ its hem plain.
/ Lingerie fans in handkerchief en-
/ broidery mounted on sandal wood are
/ the newest things. and most fascinat-
/ ing of all possible combinations is a
single garment to wear over silk skirt
and corset, and made entirely of mar
row encircling bands of lace set to-
/ gether with a crocheted linen stitch.
/ This garment consists of corset cover,
/ pantaloons drawn about the knee with
/ frills and ribbon. and a short. scant
skirt that does not pass the knee, the
entire thing is lace bands save for
half dozen narrow bands of white
null let in about the waist and hips.
/ This garment is hardly thicker than a
handkerchief, and yet IL is enough to
prevent the corset and garters from
making mark through the petticoat-
less gown.-From a Paris Letter to
