speed in it to insure success. The

twenty suits for the foot ball team.

has grown larger, but the dancers
have departed! Where theorches-
ira was, is now coffin, with but a
solitary mourner kneeling by it's
side, her head bent in weeping, her
feet bathed in tears! God bless
the solitary one. wherever she may
be! The pretty walks and borders
in the Bots de Boulogne have given
place to sloppy cutters, down which
the molten frost is coursing! The
mountains are dwindling down
the plains on which SO many buff
falo were seen, are still there, but
oh! how changed! The ships have
gone to the bottom Of the lakes
and oceans, while the oceans are
also disappearing! The river that
looked SO beautiful an hour since
is still to be seen. but it is now the
river Of death! Its swelling waters
have flooded the fowery banks
have swept down the little craft
that foated so securely there not
long since, and are now climbing
and washing up against the sides
of the bluff! The battlefield has
been drowned in tears, and all that
remains of it's glitterlng soldiery,
and thirst for glory, is a blank!
The spires have gone from the
churches-the cities have been
drowned out-the streets are little
Holland canals-the deer and
hunter have sunk into the earth
the crowd that walked by the river
bank have all gone, and the whole
scene has changed!

For the first time in history a
man has advertised for liberty and
got it. The advertiser was pris-
oner, and today he is walking the
streets free man. He can thank
his quick wit as we'll as the efici-
ency of advertising for his freedom.
He saw his opportunity and seized
it, even tho handicapped by prison
bars.
It all came about thru an offer
by the Daily Oklahoman of this
city of So for the most original
want ad written for Sunday issue
of the paper. SLIDER needed the
So. So he sent the ad quoted to
the Oklahoman.
Accompanying the ad was the
following witty letter:
"Mr. Editor: Enclosed please
find postoffice money order to pay
for publishing ad, also inclosed.
Perchance you will think this want
ad unreasonable, or at least I'M
usual. Therefore I will explain
the why and wherefore of it.
"Three Sundays have I read the
poems in your jingle contest, and
they are responsible for an idea
I've got, to wit: a man can get
anything he wants thru a want ad.
Therefore, being lncarcerated, [
naturally want to be liberated, and
with that end in view I appointed
myself committee of one on
ways and means to determine the
best plan of procedure in extricat-
ing myself from my undesirable
surroundings.
"After heated debate the afore-
said committee decided to invest
two bits of his frenzied finance
in bona fde want ad, and for a
real simon pure want ad-well, |
feel like I imagine Patrick Henry
felt when he said: Give me liberty
or give me DEATH
Hoping for big returns for my
little ad, | beg to remain, yours
expectantly,
John L,Silber,

homan to judge the want ad con-
test, awarded the So to SLIDER.
But that was only the beginning
of Silber's good luck. Readers of
the Oklahoman became interested
in the young man thru the want
ad. They called upon the law
firm of Burwell, Crockett & John
son, Oklahoma City, and begged
the attorneys as an act of charity
to go to Silber's relief. They did
so. The matter was taken up by
letter with j. E. Burns, county at
torney of Kay county. ''Silber is
a model prisoner" wrote Burns.
Il will have no objections to your
securing a parole or pardon for
him."
L. B. Hart, undersheriff, repre-
senting his chief, wrote: II am
not in favor Of helping criminals
out of Jail, but from what evidence
| can get, this man should not
have been in Jail to start with, and
[ think it is miscarriage of justice.
IF [ had any influence with the
governor of the state I would use
it in trying to get pardon for
this boy. He was arrested thru
spite more than anything else.
Being a stranger, he pleaded guilty
and took a Jail sentence rather
than to stand trial and run the
risk of going to the penitentiary."
County Attorney Burns, follow
ing the circulation of petition
for the pardon of SLIDER which was
signed by every officer in Kay
county and most of their deputys,
asking for the pardon of SLIDER,
wrote personal letter to Governor
Haskell asking him to grant an
unqualified pardon to SLIDER. Judge
William M. Bowls, who tried the
case; r. E. Roder, the sheriff and
L. B. Hart, undersheriff, also wrote
personal appeals to the governor.
The influence of Legislators also
was invoked and committee made
up of members of house and SEN
ate appeared before the governor
and pleaded in Silber's behalf.
The pardon was granted, and SLIDER,
after going to Oklahoma City to
thank the lawyers who had labored
so studiously to secure his release,
went to Lincoln, Neb., where he
hopes to secure a position as
switchman for one of the railroads,
he having followed that calling for
several years.
And so to want ad which cost
twenty-five cents SLIDER owes his
pardon. Elk.

morning the windows presented one
of the most beautiful sights ever
beheld. While those indoors were
chatting or sleeping, winter had
set it's spring patterns for summer
work, and how delicate were the
touches and tracings of his magic
pencil! One window, in particular,
at which I have been long looking,
presented wondrous picture and
moving panorama of frost art. 1t
seemed as tho a convention OF
angel artists had been summoned
by the dying Winter-king, and, by
the light of the aurora borealls,
had made him picture OF such
magic beauty, that no one could
look upon it without feeling to DO
them homage.
There were the bold, heavy
strokes of some rough old frost
spirit who delighted in making
mountains, rocks, cascades, and
rsvines, as some independent NOR
tails like to make and leave their
marks on the varying face OF crea-
ton and the created. There stood
the work of less dashing artists,

plains, rivers, oceans and deserts.

sketches by still gentler artists,
of birds; of plants; of flowers; and
a thousand beautiful ancies, spread
like the divine breath of angels
who whisper of Gods love to the
world. There were the choicest,
most delicate embroideries, rival

woven, of so fine texture, and OF
such handsome patterns that it
seemed as if the wedding lace and
bridal wells of angels had been
stolen from their heavenly ward

the wardrobe of the most fashion

coarser habiliments of poverty.
There were blocks of tenement
houses, the roofs broken in and
walls toppling-the doors unhinged

and nodding toward each other as
