Comments of ''MatrOnita''

The Progressive Union have secured the
services Of three delightful entertainers. who
will be presented to the fun lovers of Cow
ington in January, February and March.
The ladies feel that they have done a good
thing and that their effort will be met with
appreciation and success. The three at
fractions are of a high order, and are among
the very best sent out by the Dixie Lyceum
Bureau. Covington has so little of this
kind of amusement, and for very novelty's
sake it should prove a success. The pro-
ceeds of the venture will be devoted to some
good cause; some civic improvement in which
every one is or should be interested. There
will be social side to these pleasant even
ings, and the dance after the performances
will prove an added attraction to the young

start for the scene of the Pierce trouble at a moments notice. Adjutant General Canton and staff are ready to enter the trouble zone, where he will assume per sonal command
 In an official statement General Gan ton said:
 Colonel Hoffman with four companies of militia left Henrietta for Hickory hills. where the Indians are mobilized. This is seven miles from Henrietta and the troops must march that distance before there can be serious trouble. It seems that the Indians have been waiting for two months for an outbreak of this kind.
 Special trains are in readiness at va rious points to carry endorsements to Colonel Hoffman should they be needed. Six additional companies will be used if necessary. The uprising will be crushed quickly and surely Since it has become necessary to send troops to the district it is determined to make record in law en- forcement which will be long remembered.
 '"rhe state cannot afford to have this band of renegades cause bad advertise ments semi-oecasionally, and all can rest assured that the present difficulty will be settled once for all. Ball cartridges and bayonets may have to do the work but it will be satisfactory to Oklahoma in the end '"

Why Do You Scowl?

Does it improve your looks? Not even so much as the thunder cloud in a sum- mer sky, for it, at least gives signs of the sun behind.
 Does it add to your popularity? Not while a sunny disposition is the winner as friend maker and keeper
 Does 1t heighten your charms? Not to those who count sullenness the deadliest fault a woman can have.
 Does 1t boost your chances in life? Not with the man who has ever had the ill., luck to employ a sulky worker.
 Does it keep you young looking? Ask the masseuse who has to wage war on that heavy line between the eyes and the crows feet at the corners.
 Does 1t make life sweeter? The sweet ening power of a scowl is as salt in the sugar bowl or vinegar in the molasses jug.
 Does it make things easier? About as easy as sand on a ballroom floor, or running an unoiled jigsaw
 Does it pay? Not until crossness be- comes currency for content, and frown is pacemaker for a smile.

otah and then grimly insisted on retak- ing charge of the chase, deferring further display of his fatherly grief until some more opportune time.
 "Tll get them, though" he hissed be- tween his set teeth. Those red devils will pay for this with big interest"
 posse from h.usKogee reached Crazy Snakes house today and searched the place. They found the record of enroll ment of Indians whom Crazy Snake has been organizing to fight for what he re- gards as liberty. The documents fur nished indisputable evidence that the old chief was trying to incite general up- rising.
 No negroes were involved in yesterdays s fight and none could be seen in the VI cinity of Crazy Snakes home today.
 Sheriff Odom tonight announced that he would attempt to arrest Crazy Snake under the protection of the troops. He has a great desire to have this honor, he said, on account of his sons death.
 Citizens of Henrietta declare the trouble is largely due to negro outlaws from other states, chiefly Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee, who are wanted in their home states for various crimes. These negroes readily fell in with the dissatisfied In- dlan's ideas of instruction.

Real Names 0 Players
 Strangely Ogt .Of Place

recently announced that Herbert T. Briggs was d free agent, out few knew that the famous "Buttons was the one meant
 tMugsye MeGpaw was baptized John J.. but has been "Mugsy" for 15 years, while Dennis McGann has been Dan" ever since he became a big leaguer. "Cy' Seymour used to be John Bentley Sey- mour, but that was long ago, while no one ever thinks of calling Dummy" Taylor Luther H.
 Among the American leaguers Dusty Rhoades is Robert, Mickey" Graney is J. Gladstone, while Jake" Thielman was John up to a few years ago. Frank Don- ahue was always called "Red,' while Lafayette Cross has been Lave" since the discovery of baseball. Germany" Schafer pleads guilty of having Herman as a Christian name and Link" Lowe was chrstened Robert Lincoln Lowe.
 Bunk" Congalton would be insulted if he were called William, and "Wid' Con roy would think you had gone crazy were you to apply the same name to him. "EIobe" Ferris has forgotten what hls original name was. but they say 1t was Henry.
 Then there is a bunch of others. Elijah Jones, the Detroit recruit, is "Bumpus'; l; Frank Isbell is 'Izzy''; William Gray, brought from Los Angeles by Washing ton, is Dolly; Arthur Raymond of the Giants is Bugs w. E. Bransfield of the Philies is kitty; William Gleason, although over 40 years old is s.i Kid and John Wagner is generally referred to as Hans" or "IIonus."
 George McGlynn would be mystified were he called anything but stony" and Edward Batch has become familiar with "1einie' like Berger of the Maps. "Ad- miral" Schlei of the Reds used to be George H. Schlei, but not in the sum- mer time, while Orvie Overall answers to the name of Jeff"
 Then there are the players who have taken assumed names on purpose on en- tering professional baseball. Sammy Strang's right name Is Sam Nicklin, while Charles of the Cardinals is really Charles Achenbaeh. Clements of Jersey City, drafted by the Phillies. once played in the Eastern league, under the name of Schultz, and Qu.as, now the property of the New York Americans pitched as "Picus" two years ago. Cree, the hard hitting Yankee, was Burde in the Tri- State league and Outfielder Bell, who was with the Highlanders in the fall of 1907. at one time played under the name of Baerwald. Capron, claimed by the New York Giants, was known as Rapp in the south last year. Even Ruel- bach and Lundgren of the Cubs played under assumed names when in the minor leagues This is a common stunt how ever, for college men who wish to play as 'pros' in the summer time and still retain their amateur standing.

Have You His Miniature?

Cupid has recently decreed that his subjects cultivate the portrait fad"
 If fair lady is an enthusiastic fad dist she will have a miniature likeness set into the handle of her lorgnette and on the case of her watch. One girl ap- peared very recently with tiny minia- lures painted one on each of the toes of her dainty slippers. Another girl, who devotes her energies to the painting of china, has nearly completed decorating a tea set sufficient to serve two people On the pieces with which her husband to-be will be served she has her own likeness, and on the others, which will be reserved for her own use when mar ried, she has painted her future hus- bands portrait.
 From the face or the case of a mans watch the smiling eyes of a young girl may peer at you. When a wallet or notebook is opened, a well-worn photo graph may be seen. In fob locket a tiny miniature probably reposes. Men have the craze as badly as girls.

It is a conceded fact that two-thirds of the baseball fans would not recognize more than a few of the players of their own team were the players to appear before them in street dress instead of uniform. In fact, some of the most ar- dent rooters would pass one of their fa- vorite players by on the street without a word. They may be able to pick out the various players on the field, but when the heroes of the diamond get on their glad rags they are disguised
 It is also true that many fans would not know who was meant were some of the ball plaxers to be referred to by their right names instead of the nick. names which they have borne for many a year
 There is Dustin J. Clarke, the dusky catcher of the Maps. Outside of Cleve- land 1t is doubtful if more than a. few know that Dustin J. is Mig" In spite of the fact that "Rube9 Waddel has been renowned for 10 years or more, but few know that his real name is George Edward. Chief Bender answers to the name of Charles Albert.
 Besides Waddell there are a number of other "Rubes,n 'Rube' Marquard now of the Giants, is Richard "Rube" Vick- CTS Is Harry Porter Vickers in the winter time. "Rube" Covaleslxi Is Harry. "Rube' Teller is John. "Rube' Kroh is Floyd and 'Rube" Oldring is Robert.
 It is also difficult to distinguish the Young family in baseball, as all are called "Gy." The original "Cy," however, is Denton T., while the other two are liar ley E. Young and Irwin M. Young. Then there is Henry Morgan, who has also been dubbed "Cy." The three 'fDodes'' in the big league answer to the following names when off the field: Joseph Birming- ham, George Paskert and Dan Criss. J. Garland Stahl has been called Jake so long that he has almost forgotten that he was ever called Garland in his col lege days, while Doc White, of the White Sox, probably would pay no at tention to you were you to call him C.. Harris White. It used to be Charles Der ger, but the Cleveland pitcher has been called ''Heine' so long that he is be- ginning to sign his checks that way
 Only scattering few know that Kid Elberfeld was baptized Norman Fiber field, while "Topsy'' Hartsel of the Ath- letics would fall over with surprise were any one to yell, "Hullo, Tully!' But Tul- ly Frederick is his right name. Then there is Buttons" Briggs. When .t was
