A CENTURY AGO

We are accustomed to think Of mas
culine dress as today much simpler
and much less costly than a hundred
years ago. This may be true, but
there were exceptions. In "The Tav-
erns and Turnpikes of Blandford" s..
G.. Wood prints an inventory of the
clothing and household goods of Col.
Samuel Sloper who had served his
town in the war as well as in political
matters.
Samuel Sloper was not arrayed In
kings garments His inventory, made
in 1803 contained no mention of sword.
not even a gun, nor buckles, nor any
silver ornaments of any kind nor
silken stockings only a hat valued at
80 cents, one linen shirt at 40, zone pair
old velvet breeches," worth so cents
zone fancy cotton vest" ST. one striped
nankin vest" 33 cents; lone pair buff
breeches," $3.50, and one pair of woOlen
hose. That was all. He must have
been a man of simplicity.
His household goods were plain
affairs, too, and seem to indicate that
he had given up the business of pub
lie host before his demise, since he
died possessed of but two bedsteads
and four dining chairs, although his
kitchen boasted nine chairs. The
neighbors used to come in and occupy
them and chat together, perhaps.
There were only a half dozen knives
and forks, and other paraphernalia of
dining room and kitchen to correspond.

AMBASSADOR AND JUDGE

Another amusing case was that of
Sir Edward Thornton, once British
ambassador to the United States, and
Judge Poland of Vermont. At we'd
ding in Washington a young man went
up to Judge Poland. greeted him and
held out his hand.
II fear" said the judge, that you
have the advantage of me-"
''Is it possible" asked the young
man, that you don't remember seeing
me with my father in Mexico?'

"Why, surely you are Sir Edward
Thornton?"
by no means. am Judge Poland of
Vermont"
A week or so later the baffed young
man caught sight of Judge Poland, as
he thought, and determined to smooth
over his recent blunder. THAT was an
awkward mistake of mine the other
night" he said. my taking you for old
Thornton"
"And, pray, for whom do you take
me now?" was the query.
"Why. Judge Poland of Vermont, of
course"
my name is Thornton!" thundered
the ambassador, turning on his heel

JAY GOULD AND THE PHYSICIAN

A case of resemblance that bothered
New Workers tor years was that of Jay
Gould, the millionaire railroad mag
nate, and his innocent double. New
York physician. The physician was
taking a stroll one morning at an
American winter resort, when he was
suddenly confronted in the path by a
dwarfish, swarthy, wien faced man
wearing a brown check suit.
"Mr. Gould, 1 believer" the physician
murmured.
Gould stared at his counterfeit pre-
sentiment" "I am not quite sure that
l am" he exclaimed. "I wish you
wouldn't wear clothes like mine."
"Shave off your beard. and 1 won't!"
snapped the physician.
These men were for years constantly
mistaken for each other and If the
physician had not been honest Gould
might we'll have feared for his millions,
for the physician might have present
ed himself almost anywhere as Gould
and raised ION his face" almost any
sum of money.

ABBREVIATING A NAME

One member of congress employs in

Some of his colleagues were one day
speaking of his craze for brevity, when
one said: BLANK has certainly brought
his system to a fine point; but there
was a chap in my state, Kentucky, who
distanced all competitors in this re-

so keen was his mania for abbreviation,
that in writing to friends he invariably

The Lesson of the Dam.

The Washita dam is completed.
The river is flowing gracefully over
its crest and covering il with bridal
veil of silver sheen. Less tuIbid and
unruly than the waters that come
down at Ladore" the river glides
gracefully and smoothly over and
only as IL reaches the water beneath
does it break into lrotb and foams and
surge and fret. So far as can b. de
tected there is not divergence Of
the hundredth part of an inch the en-.
tire length Of the dam. Nearly every.
body in An'darko has been to see il
and everybody in Anadarko is proud
of it and they ought to he.
Pregnant with possibilities, quiet
anu placid lies the water of the
Washita behind the dam, backed up
for twenty miles or more. What
power is there and when harnessed
and turned loose, what will the gray
crested steed' it will send forth

what enlargement, what Industrial

bosom of that placid lake for the
Pearl Of the washital All that re-
mans is to put the harness on and
the team furnished by the winding
was5ita will pull Anadsrko 10 the
fore. front of the cities Of the state.
Yet there is need Of caution.
Power unused is wasted, misused iB
hdrtful. Advantages are only snch
as they are properly utilized. The
lines are fallen to US in pleasant
places here in Anadarko. Let's see
that we keep them pleasant and
prosperous.
The citizens of Anadarko must be
a united citizenship. We must have
wise, judieious, enterprising and
harmonious Iunicipal government,
one that will give square deal, do
the fair tnilg for all the people ell
the time and sink personal interests
and feelings in the public welfare.
Th,n gradually and beau tifully as
the Washita guides over her dam,
will Anadarko glide into prosperity
and enlargement. So mote it be.
