Atmosphere of College Life.

There is no sack cloth and ashes
for "a Stubborn Cincerella," at the
Auditorium; silk tights and Alaska
diamonds at least.
1t is mighty bright, alert, sparkling
show, chock full of pulchritude-at
least the young women of the chorus
look the word-and with lines that
make noise like a laugh every min
ute.
l have an idea that there are no
voices in the company that will go
tilling down the aisles of Time, and
that perhaps the. music is not of the
new school of thought lieds, which is
probably the reason why enjoyed
the performance thoroughly.
1t was all here a couple of years ago,
and it made me write some exaltation
of enjoyment then; if could find the
copy of that review / would run it
again, with a little bit more of adjec-
tivial whoop.
Perhaps you will not agree with me,
but I'm accustomed to that; for / like
nonsense tremendously, and am not
afraid to say so, and for your own sake
1 hope you do not differ from me in
that trait; if you do this Cinderella
will not attract you.
E. Colt Albertson, who plays Mac,
has an easy, flippant manner of fore
ing his quibs over the footlights md
is sufficiently droll to avoid that Fav-
ersham quiver he puts into his words
when he is trying to be serious.

cast) plays Lady Leslie with a nice
ingenue face and a soaring voice.
A demure, fetching little soubrette
is Miss Lillian Goldsmith, theh Lois of
the company.
There are lots of good bits" the
atmosphere Of college life, the them
were happy days" epoch of life fills
the first act; the second ends with a
delightful Cinderella minuet and senti-
mental picture, and the third is at Cor
onado and shows an "Orange Fete"
with but one or two lemons in the dis
play.
The costumes are impressively ef-
fective and cleanse are the lines.--

The Dairy Cow.

The dairy. COW does more than bring
financial success TO the dairy farmer
She makes him a better citizen than
he would otherwise be. Her influence
upon home conditions is a most pleas
ing contribution to those factors which
are responsible for the changed con
ditions which prevail in the farm
homes of today. Thousands of these
homes are now characterized by com
fort and happiness where formerly
they were blighted by drudgery and
unhappiness.
Better financial conditions have con
tributed to this change, and the dairy
cow has been in no small measure re-
sponsible. She has contributed in still
another way. The dairy cow teaches
kindness. Her owner soon learns that
only by treating her kindly can he
secure the highest possible returns
from her, ad she responds quickly to
kind words and proper care. Her dis
position is one that the human family
might we'll emulate. She is patient
and long suffering, acquiescing mute
ly in the arrangements made by her
fowner for carrying on the dairy bust
ness, striving at all times to repay
him for every effort made for her care
and comfort.
The members of the family, as they
come in contact with her and her kind
ly disposition, are Influenced for good
AS they appreciate the financial bene.
fit to come from caring for her we'll
they take a deeper interest in her In
doing so they unconsciously cultivate
those qualities which make them bet
ter citizens.
The dairy cow--the prototype of
mans best friends welding a great
er influence than she is generally
credited with. She has always been
found in the front ranks in the march
of civilization and no agricultural
country can long prosper without her.
She is a potent factor in the upbuild-
ing of such a country, financially, and
socially, and a wise people will appre-
ciate her and encourage the industry
of which she is the foundation.

COUPLE
MARRIED SUNDAY

A wedding, which, coming at the
time it did, was a great surprise to all
Vinita, was that at o'clock Sunday
afternoon when Harry Bagby and Miss
Katherine Andrews, both of this city,
were united in marriage, by Rev. J. w.
Sims, at his residence on North avenue.
While the friends of this popular cou-
pie had been expecting such a step for
some time, they were nevertheless
taken by surprise when the event did
occur
Several friends of the young people,
however, learned of the wedding be-
fore the newly-weds could get out of
town and two score of them, armed
with rice, baby shoes, horns, etc,
gathered at the Katy station to bid
them happy journey
The young couple went to Kansas
City where they will spend a few days
and see the Missouri-Kansas football
game Thanksgiving Day. After that
they will return to this city and go to
housekeeping in their cottage at the
corner of Tahlequah avenue and
Smith street The house has already
been prepared to receive them.
A wedding of a more popular young
couple or one attended by the good
wishes of larger acquaintance would
be hard to imagine. Both of the con-
tracing parties are members of the
best families in Vinita and each has
personality that has attracted many
close friends.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. S. Andrews, and has been
resident of Vinita for the past two
years. During that time she has en-
deared herself to all who know her.
The groom is the only son of DR..
and Mrs. Oliver Bagby and was born
and reared in Vinita. He has a re-
markable personality and makes
friends of all who come in contact
with him. He is an employe of the
First National bank, of which his
father is president, and has a brilliant
future.

Washington, d. c., Nov 19.-If
Champ Clark is elected speaker of the
next house of representatives he will
be the thirty-fifth man chosen as the
regular presiding officer of the lower
branch of congress and the first ever
selected from the state of Missouri
Representative Clark would also be
the second speaker to hail from west
of the Mississippi river. Iowa has the
distinction of being the only state west
of the Mississippi that has been hon
ored with the speakership up to the
present time. The late David B. Hen
derson of Iowa served as speaker of
the Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh con-
crosses.
Massachusetts, Virginia and Ken
lucky are the states which have been
most highly favored in regards to the
speakership. Each has had four of
its representatives chosen to preside
over the house.
The four speakers from Massachu-
setts were TSesdore Sedgwick, of the
Sixth congress; Joseph B. Varnum, of
the Tenth and Eleventh congresses;
Robert c. Winthrop, of the Thirtieth
congress, and Nathaniel P Banks, of
the Thirty-fourth. When Mr.. Winthrop
was elected speaker of the Thirtieth
congress it was by majority of one
vote, which is the closest contest
known.
The Virginia speakers we're Phillip
Barbour, who presided over the Sew
enteenth congress and afterwards serv-
ed in the senate; Andrew Stevenson,
who served from 1927 to 1884; John
w. Jones, who was speaker of the
Thirty-eighth congress and died soon
after completing his service, and R.
H. T. Hunter, who was speaker of
the Twenty-sixth congress and after
ward served as secretary of state of
the confederate government.
The four Kentucky speakers were
Henry Clay, who presided over five
of the early congresses; John White,
of the Twenty-seventh congress; Linn
Boyd, of the Thirty-second and Thirty
third congresses, and the late John G..
Carlisle, who occupied the speakers
chair in the Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth
and Fiftieth sessions.
In Henry Clay the state of Ken
lucky holds the record for long serv-

OSAGE INDIAN LANDS TO
Be OPEN TO OIL LEASES

Muskogee, Okla, Nov 19-Unleased
LANDS of the Usage nation to the extent
of 100000 acres are to be thrown open
to oil men, according to Charles j.
Happier, one of the attorneys of the
Usage nation, who is in Muskogee.
This is conceded to be wild cat" ter
ritory but Mr.. Happier looks for a
scramble for leases.
THE Usage council has just con-
cluded a five days session at Paw
huska," said Mr.. Happier, "and dis
cussed the proposition to throw open
the remainder of the nation for min
eral leasing purposes. This will give
100000 acres for oil purposes One
thing which we hope to incorporate in
the regulations is a rule permitting
leases for 5,000-acre tracts, instead Of
small holdings as provided under the
Foster lease, which is in effect in one
half of the nation The Foster lease,
which has five years yet to run, CON
sists of 650,000 acres"
1t is believed that the opening of the
remainder of the country will be of
great benefit to oil producers. Under
the Foster lease the Osages derive
$250,000 annually, and if the remainder
of the nation is thrown open Happier
believes the oil royalty will more than
double. The proposition first must be
approved by the Usage council and
then by the department of the interior
before the lands can be thrown open.
1t is believed this can be brought about
in ninety days.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 19.-Attorney
General West today requested the com

proposed sale, at Pawhuska, Okla, of

The island is said to be worth half
million dollars in oil deposits. Since
oil was discovered the island has been
allotted to Usage Indians.

49,. SOME ARE POOH.

Some people are poor because their
IDEAS are larger than their purses.
They think the world owes them .
living.
They do not keep account of their
expenditures.
They try to do what others expect
of them, not what they can afford.
The parents are economical, but the
children have extravagant ideas.
They prefer to incur debts rather
than to do worn which they consider
beneath them.
They risk all their eggs in one bas-
ket when they are not in a position to
watch or control 1t.
They think it will be time enough
to begin to save for a rainy day when
the rainy day comes.
The only thing the daughters accom-
piish Is to develop fonduess for smart
clothes and expensive jewelry.
They do not realize that one expen.
sive habit may introduce them to q
whole family Of extravagant habits.
On a moderate income, they try to
compete in appearance with q wealthy
neighbor.
They believe they have been able tc
make much in the business they under.
stand best, but have thought that they
could make a fortune by investing In
something they know nothing about.
