Haskell of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma will not need for advertise
ment while Gov. Haskell remains In ONCE
He has a way of doing business all his
own. A strange man with strange ca
reer. A few years ago he had national
aspirations, and won the confidence OF
Mr.. Bryan. His name was canvassed in
connection with a cabinet portfolio in
case of Mr.. Bryan's success against Mr..
Taft. But the hot game of politics put
an end to that. and, with clipped wings,
he has since confined his activities to his
home state-a brisk little commonwealth

Drinks for Dogs.
From the Lowell Courier-Citizen.

From the LOWELL Courter-C1tfzen.
A Chicago doctor has arranged to give
the dogs drink this summer. He has
bought a thousand two-Quart basins and
the city council has allowed him to dis
tribute them about the city in front Of
stores and houses, and the tenants will
be expected to see that they are kept
filled with water for the benefit of the
dogs. The doctor got the notion from
the City Of Mexico. where storekeepers
are required to keep such basins at their
doors. The idea is good one, and
should reduce the number Of mad dog
scares in Chicago this summer. There
will be less hydrophobia II the dogs can
get water whenever they want it.

Distrust.

So many folks ambitions
Have curious tricks to play;
It's looked on as suspicious
To ask the time OF day.
Each generous invitation
To gratitude or fame
Brings the Interrogation,
II wonder what's his game?"
If some one gives US money
Or merely good advice,
We say 'its rather funny.
Wed best be thinking twice
Before we help to win him
The praise he seeks to claim.
1t seems good-natured In him

Washington had a large, thick nose.
and it was very red that day, giving
me the impression that he was not 30

that this was peculiarity. His nose
was apt to turn scarlet In cold wind
he was standing near small camp.

making no effort to keep warm. He
seemed SIX feet and half in height,
was IS erect as IN Indian and did not
for a moment relax from military
attitude that seemed vital part of
The man.
Washington's exact height was six
feet two inches In his boots. He was
then little lame from striking his
knee against a tree. His eye was SO
gray that it looked almost white, and
he had troubled look on his colorless
face. He had piece OF wooden tied
around his throat and was quite hoarse.
Perhaps the throat trouble from which
he finally died had its origin about
then.
| They were No. IL. His hands were
larger In proportion, and he could not
buy a glove to At him and had to
have his gloves made to order. Els
mouth was his strong feature, the lips
being always tightly compressed. That
day they were compressed SO tightly
as to be almost painful to look at.
At that time he weighed 200 pounds,
and there was no surplus flesh about
him. He was tremendously muscled.
and the fame Of his great strength was
everywhere. His large tent, when
wrapped up with the poles, was so
heavy that it required two men ia
place it in the camp wagon. Washing.
ton would lift it with one hand and
throw it In the wagon as easily as Il
It were pair Of saddlebags. He could
hold musket in one hand and shoot
with precision as easily as other men
did with a pistol. Els lungs were
weak, his voice never strong.
He was at that time in the prime Of
life. His hair was a chestnut brown
his cheeks were prominent, and hi
head was not large in contrast to ev
cry other part Of his body, which
seemed large and bony at all points
Ills finger joints and wrists were "

Keep Sheep Thrifty.

There is one thing the farmer can
not afford to overlook in sheep rails
ing, and that is thrift. Thrift means
health, gain In quality. quantity and
prodHctiveness, the elements out Of
which the profits are derived. 1t must
be the first object Of the owner to
keep his sheep in thriving condition.
The quality OF the wool, as well as the
quantity, and the general productive
ness of the flock make this require
