ryyale Journal "A pitiful little case.
showing why they are. occurred in
Cherryvale last week. A little old
mother ate her Thanksgiving dinner
alone. she had planned and schemed
and cooked for a week She had three
kinds OF pie. because Johnnie liked
pie so much; she had a small turkey. a
pound cake. cranberry sauce and all
the other things her boy had always
eaten with sdch hearty enjoyment on
every Thanksgiving day for years.
Johnnie had never missed that dinner
at home. But this year his girl in
yited him to her home to dinner, and
he went and ate oyster cocktails and
a fussy salad and a frozen concoction
made OF hot air and few other things
and he told her 1t was simply swell.
That was all right only he forgot to
notify his widowed mother until the
of the big day It may be un-

The Thistle Travels Ear.

Careful examination has been made
Of the heads of Canada thistledowns
In order to determine their effective
ness as parachutes carrying the seeds
of the plant TO great distances through
the air. The results of this examina-
tion are quite remarkable
Calculation shows that thistle
down starting from an elevation of 20
feet in still air would require two
thirds of minute to reach the
ground. With wind blowing 20 miles
an hour 1t would be carried on the
average about a fifth of a mile. The
total surface exposed to the air In an
average thistledown is, on account of
the great number of hairlets, little
more than ene-third of square foot
Another well know and very
beautiful example of natures para

THE sLANoERER.

An interesting sequel to the recent
tarring episode which disgraced the
state Of Kansas is the statement of a
prominent lawyer employed to instl-
tute damage suits in behalf Of Miss
Mary Chamberlain. the victim of the
effect that he has been unable to find
a single fact derogatory 70 the young
womans character, says the Des
Moines Capital.
Before starting suit. the attorney
wished TO investigate the situation to
his own satisfaction and in order not
to be taken by surprise during the
progress of the litigation. He has
diligently traced every story to its
supposed source and has not been able
to find man or a woman who could
substantiate single rumor.
The situation at Shady Bend is sim
ply one more impressive illustration
of the fact that the slanderer is the
society pest which ought to be sup
pressed by something more efficacious
and permanent than dose of tar
Sir Walter Scott referred to Sian
derers as:
Long takers, miniop lis,
pers,
Cutting honest throats by whispers. {"
And the originator of slander is
no better than the nosey, prying, shall
low-souled snooper who takes up the
tale and with stealthy but fervent zeal
seeks to give it the widest possible
currency.
Another writer has asked and an
swered his own question in the follow
ing fashion;
When viii evil speakers refrain
from evil talking? When listeners re-
frain from evil hearing"
Under the rigid application of that
truth modern society would be revo-
lutionized within a year.

The University And our Municipal
Problem.

Problem.
In this age when not only every
large city but also every smaller cen
ter of population even down to the
village has many complex municipal
problems to meet and solve the study
of local administration is becoming
more and more a necessity. The news
papers and magazines of the country,
though often exaggerating as to de-
tells. bring home to us the great truth
that mismanagement both willful and
ignorant, has in recent years been the
shame of American cities TO the dis
grace and great financial loss of the
property owner In Oklahoma, where
the towns are new and municipal inn
provements with consequent high
taxes and vexing problems are many,
the study of local administration is
even more imperative than in other To-
caliues The complaints of cities and
towns mulcted by dishonest franchise
holders or sunk deep in debt by muni-
cpal mismanagement have been by
no means infrequent Of late in our
own commonwealth The state uni
versity is especially attempting to
graduate men trained to handle muni-
cipal affairs properly To aid as it
can in relieving immediate conditions

II the Chieftain felt for one moment
that there was danger of the initiated
bill of Oliver A. Aiken which seeks to
abolish thirteen state institutions of
learning already established. being
adopted by the people of Oklahoma it
would raise its feeble voice against it.
Looping off the schools is strange
piace for the people of Oklahoma to
begin the much needed work of econ
omy. There are some thousands of
useless offices that should be abolished
before the schools are attacked and
struck down, and until this is done
Governor Cruce and his cabal of wise
ones may as well desist. 1t were poor
economy that would close the school
house door against the youth of this
great state.

The Haskell suit for 100000 dam
ages against Hearst comes on this
month in the federal court at Omaha.
But the federal court will probably re-
fuse jurisdiction, as both are citizens
of other states than Nebraska and
consequently it belongs in the state
court. AS we remarked when it was
filed, some three years ago. the suit
was brought in Nebraska by citizen
OF Oklahoma against a citizen of New

Oklahoma had rendered valuable serv-

OF Oklahoma appellate courts one
has come to expect oommonsense judg-
ments. Wherefore there is occasion
for disappointment, more or less poig-
nant, in a recent decision in case
which may be briefed thus: A man,
whose only natural heirs were wife
and father. while on his death bed
called his wife and stated that he gave
to her all the contents of strong
box" in an adjoining room. containing
bank stock and iewelry among other
things The wife already possessed n
key to the strong box but as a tes-
timony of his desire that she should
possess its contents exclusively he
gave her the only other key in exist
enee There was no actual delivery
of the strong box itself-only this
passing of the key as evidence that
she was to be the owner of its con
tents Suit was brought to assert the
fathers right to share in the contents
Of the strong box The judgment of
the trial court was in favor of the wife.
The allegation that the dying man had
turned over the key to the strong
boz" to his wife and expressed II as
his will that she should enjoy its con
tents exclusively was not questioned;
the only contention made was that the
dying man had not actually handed
the strong box to his wife, and that
the mere transfer of the key was not
sufficient The supreme court com
mission has sustained this contention,
holding that To. make valid transfer
the dying man. should have arisen from
bed, gone intpathe next room, got the
strong hoxt and actually put it, rather
than merely the Key into the hands Of
his wife, Thus more Importance is at
tached to physical than to mental in
competence. This is what we call a
technical Interpretation Of the law
and also nonsensicai one, Dallas
News.

Habit Of Saving.

The advice given to- its employees
by one of the leading railroads to cul-
tivate the habit of saving by setting
apart a small sum of money each day
is commendable. While the condi-
tions of life in this country may not
call for such minute economy as is
necessary in European countries,
there is, after all, a great need Of
thrift. Americans are spendthrift
people and oftentimes the results are
disastrous. Mucn poverty and distress
and many a domestic tragedy would
b. prevented IL families were more
economical. The pendulum swings in
business just as in other things, and
the extreme of prosperity is invari-
ably followed sooner or later by a
reaction. Their. when it is too late,
many people lament and suffer be-
cause they did not save when it was
within their power.

Obituary.

Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Ulmer was
born October 18th 1850 and departed
this life April 10th 1911. She leaves
behind to revere her sacred memory
a devoted and affectionate husband,
two dutiful sons, two faithful daugh-
ters, and a host Of relatives and
friends. Mrs. Ulmer was faithful
member of the Four Holes Baptist
Church, a member of the Woman's
Missionary society. She was ever
ready for every good word and work.
Her church she loved, and for its well
fare she prayed and labored. Indeed
she was loyal and true in all the re-
lationships of life. Her home life
was a life of beautiful service and. de-
Notion to the comfort, happiness and
welfare of her husband and children.
Like her Lord her consuming desire
was to serve, and not to- be served.
Like Mary of Bethany she did what
she could as a devoted and loving
wife and as a fond and affectionate
mother. For days and weeks she sat
by the bedside of her sick and suffer-
ing daughter Mrs. Minnie Burke, who
preceded her only few days to the
beautiful city of God. She refused to
leave her sick and suffering child by
day or night, staying by her to ad-
minister such comfort and cheer as
only a devoted and fond. mother
could, and from the sick room Of her
sainted daughter she went to nurse
the sick in the home Of her sister,
and returning home just before day
one damp chilly night this unselfish
child of God contracted cold which
soon developed into pneumonia. AL
ready she was exhausted from days
and weeks of constant service and
anxiety and loss of sleep the end soon
came, and the angels that were hov-
ering around bore her pure Spirit to
the Paradise of God. Mrs. Ulmers
life was sacrificed in loving service
to others. She fought the good fight.
She was faithful unto death and now
she has gone to hear from her Mas
ter's lips the welcome plaudit well
done good and faithful servant. The
funeral services were conducted by
her pastor, Rev. B. NJ. Foreman; the
church was filled to overflowing with
her relatives and friends who had
gathered to pay their respects to the
memory of one who had made her
life beautiful and sublime by the sim
cerity of her heart, the sweetness of
her disposition, and by unselfish con-
secration to her home, community
and church. Her remains we're ten
derly laid away in the Four Holes
Cemetery near the church she so de-
votedly loved. BLESSED are the dead
that die in the Lord. Let me die
the death Of the righteous and let
my last end be like His. Not dead, not
dead but only gone before to the lanG
where the sun forever shines and the
flowers forever bloom.
Dearest loved-one thou hast left us
And our loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that hath bereft us;
He can all our sorrow heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day Of life is fled,
Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tear is shed.
One Who Knew Her.
