My Journey to Oklahoma.

On the 18TH day of March, l and my
husband started on our trip to Okla
homa, the land of eternal sunshine
and beautiful scenery; the land where
the Red man. still holds his sway, and
wears his red blanket winter and sum
mer, rain or shine, and where the
squaws carry their papooses (babies)
on their backs. But.the reader must
not think that this is a woUly and wild
country, for such it is not; it is the
contrary, this is a very tame country,
and civilization has attained a high
degree. All classes are, represented
here, tits mixed congloineration of
humanity and everybody stays in his
place.
At 8 O'Clock in the evening we ar
rived at Waco, and left at O'Clock
the next morning for Fort Worth.
From there we took the train for YER
non, Texas, the beginning of the Pan
Handle country, At Vernon we
changed cars for Oklahoma. We
crossed the Red River just at day
break on Saturday, March IA. AT
Frederick, Oklahoma, we could see the
beautiful Wichita Mountain range,
although they were 35 miles away.
At IT'S A, M. we arrived at Snyder
the destination of our journey. Sny-
der is at the foot of the. mountains
and is beautifully located. That is
the town that was blown away by a
terrible cyclone about years ago, but
it has built up again, but people have
storm caves and it is not considered a
disgrace to run into a dugout. On
Sunday, the 18TH, we all went out
four miles in the country to climb a
mountain close to one thousand feet
high, called Mount Radsminski. We
made ascent and descent ih 8 hours.
Oh! What beautiful view we had
when we reached the summit. Fol
miles around beautiful landscape
lay beneath us. Houses looked like
boxes and grown horses looked like
little colts. We will not forget this
trip soon.
On March goth. we boarded the cars
again and started back to Texas
Our tickets read Ballinger, Texas.
In conclusion will say that oui
short stay in Oklahoma and the kind
treatment we received from our kin
folks was all that could be desired
and will linger in our memory for {
long time.

Three Head items.

spair is past;
From it's cold sleep the germ
of faith awaking,
Bursts in the splendor of fnll
bloom at last"
( This little verse we ,remem-
bered from school. Some times
we wonder whether we appreci-
ate the full meaning of the Easter
message Which came to the world
many centuries ago. Should it
not mean to us the death of all
enmities, of doubts, fears and all
vexations of spirit which are the
fruits of exactly these conditions
of mind and heart?
Suppose we make up our
minds that with the dawn of Eas-
ter morning, we will cast out
from our hearts all bitterness
toward any person or anything,
no matter how long we have har-
bored it, that we will let go of un-
kind feeling, Of the desire TO in
iure another, of even the wish
that one whom we have felt to be
our enemy, may meet his just
deserts, meaning by this in our
heart of hearts that he may re-
ceive the stroke Of ill-fortune,
which we believe should be his
portion.
Because right things make for
happiness whether in small af
fairs or great, that, pro-
notes discord, quarreling, un-
kindness, back biting and all I'M
pleasantness sis wrong, That
4 which addsto JOY and peace and
prosperitg.to the general welfare
of individual / family, state, ma
tion or thelWorld, is right. Do
you not thsnlziwe may wisely ac-
cept this as a working hypothe-
SIS? Our harvcsts correspond
in quality'to. the seed we sow.

Tried To Free Prisoner.

Frances Mennecks of Little Rock was arrested at England Thursday night by Policeman T. J. Whitlock for attempting to assist Love Ray burn, a convict, to escape from Beak- ley's farm, where he was serving time. Rayburn was fined $100 and given eight months at hard labor for shooting at an officer who arrested him in Little Rock. The woman was tried before Justice R. B. Carl Lee, who fined her $100 and six months imprisonment, but securing a rehear- ing, she made a confession and was fined $5. Bystanders paid the fine, and the costs were remitted. She had purchased handsaw and left it with trusty to diver to Rayburn, who was absent when she visited the stOckade

CUBS, FOOD
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and tho wellnourished baby that is fed on Grape-Nuts iS never a crying baby. Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, Grape-Nuts, and get well.
 My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the con. densed milk on which fed her had ruined the child's stomach One oe the doctors told me that the only thing to do would be to try Grape. Nuts, so got some and prepared it as follows: l soaked 11a tablespoonfuls in one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuls of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfula of rich milk, put in pinch of salt and little sugar, warmed it and gave 1t to baby every two hours.
 Tn this simple, easy way saved babys life and have built her up to a strong healthy child, rosy and laugh ing. The food must certainly be per- feet to have such wonderful effect aS this. can truthfully say think i. is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on, and is also a deli cious healthful food for grown-ups a4 we have discovered in our family
 Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man er woman. t stands for the true thee<y of health. There's Reason. Read "The Roaa D Wellville." in pkgs.

BIG coTToN ccDa1aY.

One of the most important acts acts of the recent session of the British Parliament was the passage of the House of Commons of a clause in the public works loan bill pledging the credit of the government for $10,00,- 900 for the construction of railroad up the Niger into northern Nigeria, Africa. Nigeria has not thus far been a good investment. The Royal Niger company, after thirteen years of fail ure to make it pay, abandoned the territory in 1900, and it was take over b. the British government as protec- torate. The southern part of Nigeria is comparatively prosperous. The northern part has been dependent on government grants for the expense of police, telegraph construction and other public works. Traffic in the in- terior is carried on by means of cara vans.
 Cotton has been grown in northern Nigeria for thousand years and work ed up by the natives for their own use. The soil, climate and labor supply of the region are said to rival the South ern States of America for the produc- tion of cotton. British experiments in cotton growing in Niger date back only five years. It is now proposed to build railway into this territory, us- ing only the lower part of the river Niger as part of the transportation system up 70 miles from the coast. Te head of navigation is at Baro. from there the road will run through several towns to Kano, the capital of Hausa- land, town of 35,000. There the road is expected to connect with other roads, which have been projected. The total length will be about 800 miles, and it is expected to be completed in 1911.
 Te cotton industry of Lancashire, England, is dependent on the Ameri-. can market, and shortage in that market causes embarrassment of Lan- |. cashire. The British cotton growing association desires to multiply the re- | sources of cotton supply, so that with many fields available, the climate risk may be averted and the deficiencies in one direction made good by abundance in another; then, too, the British are perfectly willig to raise cotton under the British flag rather than buy it from other nations. It is anticipated that as soon as the railroad is completed a great deal of cotton will be raised in northern Nigeria.-Southern Cultiva- | tor.

State Capital Notes
VandaIs Damage Capitol Fixtures.

It has just been discovered that five or six pieces of statuary for the new
 state capitol, stored in and about the
 capitol building, have been either
 broken or badly damaged by vandals.
 The contractors in charge of the con struction of the building are attempt
 ing to learn the identity of the van dals, but as yet they have succeeded
 in finding out practically nothing. The
 pieces destroyed were castings, and
 not as valuable as marble, but never
 theless were costly. They were to
 have been placed inside the niches in
 the corridors and halls of the capitol. Several patterns for larger pieces of statuary, some of which were to have been placed on top of the new capitol have also been damaged. The pat terms are castings made of the same material as the small pieces of Statu- ary. The marble statutes will be
 carved from the patterns. It is pre- sumed that the work of vandalism was committed during the early hours of
 morning, as the building is not watch
 ed at that time. The capitol commits sion employs a watchman who watches the building from noon until midnight.
 To have entered the building, in which the statuary was kept, through the fornIr state penitentiary hospital building which is now used as a store
 house by the contractors, would have been an easy matter. Stricter pre-
 cautionary measures will be taken in the future to guard the building.
