Muskogee Time Democrat gives this
description of Oklahoma's cosmopoli-

"The great state Of Oklahoma is
filled up with people from the four
quarters OF the earth. Her seductive
climate. her geographical position.

men OF all races and all climes Here

here are men from everywhere and Of
all ages and conditions. Now that
the formative period Of the common
wealth is about passed she is getting
down to staid conditions and recog,

The foregoing causes the Oklahoma
Times to ask the question: What

TWO CABINET OFFICERS.

TWO of the new men in President
Tafts cabinet are Richard A. Balm

two statesmen, their biographers say:

Captains Naive Testimony to the
Worth of His Nurse.

Nurses In training have many hard
ships to bear. but perhaps none is
worse than having to appear cheerful
under all conditions. A sense Of
humor Is perhaps as great an asset as
nurse can have. for 1t will help her
over many a difficulty.
The daughter of wealthy man up
state became imbued with the desire to
know how to earn her own living, and
to that end she entered one of the
large city hospitals as a nurse. says

VERDI AND HIS THRIFTY WAYS.
Groat Composer Worried Over Small
Hole In His "Best Coat"

Baron Edmondo Mayor des Planches,
ambassador from Italy. told a new
Verdi story at dinner given in Wash.
lngton recently The great Maestro
had just produced his opera Aida In
Paris for the first time and the entire
city was wild with enthusiasm The
president Of France made 1t known
that at the second performance the
rosette Of the Legion OF Honor would
be conferred on the illustrious COM
poser, a great fete was gotten up to
honor the event. The president made
the presentation. and Verdi seemed
overcome with emotion. Indeed. he
fumbled with the rosette so long that
one Of the attendants OF the president
arose and, taking his penknife, made n
neat slit In the coat and placed the
button firmly In place. After the opera
grand banquet was giycn and every
one was concerned to see that the
Maestro looked unhappy. He would
lapse into fits Of musing even during
the most enthusiastic speeches, and
would sigh and look doleful indeed
Finally an old friend got near him and
asked solicitously what was troubling
him. Verdi mused long time and
then explained sadly: Il do not see
that you can do anything to help me
and. indeed. I cannot see how I can
help myself. ! am just wondering
what my wife will say to me when she
sees this great hole In my best coat"

Struck By The Air Line.
Elisha N. Dunbar of West Danvillo
Narr WHY Escaped Death II
the Local Railroad Yard.

Elisha N. Dunbar, a we'll known business
man of West Danvile had a narrow
escape from death in the local railroad
yard on Monday when he was struck
and somewhat injured by the south
bound Air Line over the Boston & Maine
tracks. He was taken to Brightlook
hospital where it was found h had a
wound on the head, on his left hand, and
right elbow and bruises on his hip. His
wounds were dressed and he was doing
well at last reports.
Mr.. Dunbar was walking down the
tracks toward the depot from the Port
land street crossing between the Fletcher
siding and the main track of the Boston
& Maine. A string of freight cars on
the siding gave him barely room to walk
and the express from the east and the
south bound Air Line entered the ward
at the same time. He was over the
underpass on Bay street and saw the
train from the east but not the Air Line.
The cylinder on the Air Line struck him
on the left hip and threw him against the
freight cars. Engineer Oakley saw the
engine hit him and stopped his train as
quickly as possible. He and several
bystanders went to him and assisted him
to the station where he entered a hack
unassisted and was taken to the hospital
where Dr. Allen dressed his wounds.
Conductor A. X. Johnson on the train
from the east saw him just before he
was hit and recognized him but was
unable to give him any warning.
