The Rhodum Sidus.

An amusing story told by Hood de-
scribes how a country nurserymaD
made q large sum out Of sales OF q
simple little flower which he sold un-
der the name Of the Rhodum sidus.
This charming name proved quite an
attraction to the ladies. and the flower
became the rage of the season. 1t was
one of those freaks Of fashion for
which there is no accounting. at
length q botnnist who found that the
plant was not an uncommon weed re-
auested to know where the nursery
man got the name from. he elected
the following reply: II found this flow
er in the road beside US, so christened
It the Rhodum sidus."

Tho Waiter With Two Cars.


A Cleveland party recently sojourn-
ing in Toronto hotel decided to take
an automobile ride about sae city.
They approached the extremely self
conscious clerk and asked him where
they could secure car.
"Our head waitah has two, don't Y
know" he replied.
It took some little time to recover
from this shock, but presently one OF
the party ventured to ask the price.
'Three an hour" was the answer.
That was voted satisfactory, and at
kncheon one Of the CleTelanders
tarned to the nearest waiter.
"Who Is the chap that owns two
automobilesT' he asked.
IT am the chap" the waiter replied.
and he threw such a freezing empha,
lis into the word "chap" that it was
fairly frost cracked.
They finished their luncheon before
they had enough courage to ask the
price.
-four dollars an hour" the waiter
replied with naughty indifference.
Then they went uptown and hired a
very good car for So ON hour.-Cleve-
hand Plain Dealer.

Escorted Her Anyway.

While Robert Browning and bis son
Barrett were living alone In Florence
the son gave one afternoon an exhibi.
ton Of his new paintings In the family
drawing room. To Mr.. Browning was
assigned the task Of meeting the
quests. Late in the afternoon. when
the room was we'll filed, there appeared
at the drawing room door q woman
whose face was familiar. Yet MI
Browning could not recall her name,
and he judged from her appearance
that she was not an invited guest.
There was embarrassment on DOTH
sides for a moment. and then the wo-
man said eagerly: 'Oh. please, MI.
Browning, I'm the cook. Mr.. Barrett
said as was to como and see his pref
ty pictur's."
Whereupon Mr.. Browning, Offering
his arm, showed her about the room

A Remarkable Concert.

a Carlsbad letter calls attention to a
remarkable concert which took place
ut the Spa on Aug. G, 1872, a program
Of which is still preserved in the city
archives at that place. The entertain
ment was given for the benefit Of the
sufferers by the fire which had laid
waste Baden and took place at the
Saechsischer Saal. The only perform
ers were Beethoven and Polledro. who
played their own compositions. There
were two pianoforte and two violin
solos and several numbers in which
both took part, says the writer. The
account of the entertainment also
mentions the fact that one Of the inter
ested listeners was tall. elderly
man. wearing great blue coat. who
sat perfectly erect throughout the per-

at the stage. This was Goethe" The
amount realized for the fund was
about $500. The letter ends with,

CONCLUSION Of
COMMENCEMENT
GRADUATING GLASS OF HIGH
SCHOOL RENDER AN OPERET-
IA AT OPERA HOUSE FRIDAY.

The closing exercises of school
commencement were held at the
Robson opera house Friday night
when the high school students, mem
bers of the graduating class, pre-
sented the lively and amusing oper-
eta entitled, The Nautical Knot.
The character of the operetta
gave ample play for the talents
Of those who took the leading roles,
the musical numbers were light
and fanciful, full of melody with sul-
ficient technique to render it ac-
ceptable to a conception of classi"
and free from heavy lines that
frequently make the rendition of mu-
steal productions of this class tire
scme to those who are not trained
in the classical construction of diff
ficult and technical comp 5sitions.
There was enough of the humor-
Gus in it to relieve it from what
might be termed monotony and the
impression made was most favor
able both as to the selection OF
the production and the study of the
parts which male it run along
smoothly from beginning to end.
All of the characters seemed to
have been well adapted to those
who assumed them, and the chorus
was sung with a spirit that en-
Unused the audience to supera-
tive degree.
There have been few entertain
ments given that have received more
popular approval than the perform
ance of last Friday night.
A salutatory address delivered by
Miss Harriet Ellsworth followed by
the valedictory by Geo. Williams.
received the unanimous approval OF
the large audience present and the
students who participated in the eX-
ercises. Both were masterpieces in
their way and We're appropriate
finales to a year of scholastic labor
as well as farewells to school du-
ties from which the large class had
just concluded its course in the

Decorated the Veterans Graves.

Friday afternoon the United Con
federate Veterans went out to Rose
Hill and spent few hours leaving
tokens of remembrance and respect
on the graves OF the Confederate
dead
Garlands and wreaths of flowers,
beautiful and artistic, little Confed-

peared everywhere and those as
sembled at the cemetery spent the

hours, in their work of love, their

lived in the memory of heroic
deeds

Announcement.
To the Democratic Voters of Carter
County:

TO the Democratic Voters of Carter
County;
| hereby announce myself as a
candidate for Representative in the
State Legislature from Carter Coun-
ty, subject to the action of the
Democratic voters. at the coming
primary to be held on August 2nd,

look upon this position as one of
the most important in the State, and
will state frankly and freely my
purpose in deciding to make the race
and my conception of the duties of
the office.
In the first place, | do not look
upon the State Legislature as a
school of oratory or a play ground in
which aspiring politicians may prac-
tice and learn the game of politics.
| am neither an orator nor politi'
clan and if | deemed that it was
essential in a representative to be
either one, | would not submit my
name for your consideration.
believe that the Legislature, in
both its branches, is nothing more
or less than a business institution,
where the peoples business is, or
ought to be, attended to.
The business of the Legislature is
to make good laws for the people
to abolish bad ones, and to safe
guard the interests of the taxpayers
in a business way and by business
methods Sentimental Legislators are
costly to the people who have to
pay the bills.
My purpose is to become the bus
mess agent of the taxpayers CT Car

State of Oklahoma in general but
all the time to work in the interest
of Carter county and to see that

accomplish that result.

ed loose from the hind teat, and
