those who do not entertain, but they
have talked the matter over among
themselves and agreed that unless
some of the former guests get busy,
they had just as well put their party
dresses away in moth balls or sachet
powder.
This applies. of course, to large
formal affairs. They have agreed that
their outside limit will be three tables
at bridge and informal dinners. This
will give them chance to keep to-
gether the small coterie OF spenders,
of course, and at the same time en-
able them to cut out the long list of
guests who have hitherto fluttered up
and down the receiving line without
MORALLY offending them. 1t is also
possibly a means to the end of build
ing an exclusive inner circle in Mus
kogee society.
But the fact remains that the big
social affairs of the past are over in
Muskogee until some of the women
who have not been doing so in the
past give enough receptions to bal.
ance up the credit side of the social
ledger. This may be embarrassing for
"the poor but proud" but the rich
have issued the edict and money talks
in society.

TRIES TO CUT OFF HAND.
Real Estate Broker, Mind Affected

X. Andrews, aged %, real estate and
investment broker, leaped from taxi
cab and ran into a drug store at Elev-

Call a DOCTOR" he said; my hand
is cut off"
The back of his left wrist bore three
wounds, one of which was so deep that
it caused the hand to break nearly in
two and hang.
On the floor of the taXicab the chauf-
feur found Ratchet. 1t appeared that
Andrews sat on the rear seat, leaned
forward, laid his hand on the front
seat and hacked it three times with
the Ratchet.
At st. Mary's hospital Andrews told
the physicians he had become con-
fused in the taXicab and that when he
regained his senses he found that his
hand was nearly severed.
Members of his family believe that
financial troubles and illness have TEN.
porarily unsettled his mind.
Since the injury to Andrews oc-

The juryman said he had not That

Failing to tangle the veni'cman

Would he hang man on it? Was

SOME TIPS BY SPRACKLING.

Browns Quarterback Says Ono Who

Keep a cool head" Is one OF the
leading tips that Earl Sprackling,
Browns sensational quarterback, gives
to aspiring football players. Sprack-

advice which will no doubt prove OF
value to schoolboys. He cited several
instances Of where players had for
gotten even the simplest things about
football in the excitement Of n game
because Of the fact that they got rat
tied. Goodness, he said, was one OF
the main requisites for player run

BAN ON TIGHTWADS.
Those Who Have Accepted Favors
and Failed to Return Boycotted.

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. T. The
"spenders" in Muskogee are going to
play freeze out" this winter on the
"tightwads." The spenders have tacit-
ly agreed among themselves that there
will be no receptions and kindred
events in Muskogee this winter unless
some of the women who have been
eating the sandwiches and sampling
punch at other receptions give few
of their own.
The "spenders" assert that they
have gone their limit and that some
body else will have to hire the orches-
ira from now on. And the result is
likely to be unusual gaiety on the part
of those who have attended other peo-
pies parties and given none Of their
own, just to show that they are not
"tightwads."
OF course, the women who have
been entertaining and are now com

CLARK TALKS TO DEMOCRATS.
peaker Of House Tells Why He Wants
More Democratic CONGRESSMAN,

badge City, Kan, Nov. 1l.-"The
great battle of 1912 must be fought on
the splendid record of the democrats
in this, the SiXty-second congress, and
upon that record we can win not only
next year, but for years to come"
Thus spoke Champ Clark, speaker
of the national house of representa-
tives, today in addressing the demo
cratic congressional convention which
met here to nominate a successor to
the late Judge Il. II. Madison, of the
Seventh district. George Neeley, a
lawyer of Hutchinson, who was defeat
ton, had no opposition for the nomi.
nation today.
Il am here for the purpose, and in
the hope Of sending another demo
cratic congressman to Washington"
continued Speaker Clark, ito keep
company with Joe Taggart, who last
Tuesday won such brilliant victory
in the Second Kansas district. May
his tribe increase. Now that Kansas
has taken the first step in alternating
herself, we hope that she will go the
whole hog to use a homely express
sion, and become safely democratic
state, as she should be by every rule
of logic and common sense.
"To me Taggart's decisive triumph
was one of the most pleasant features
of the recent election, as it was an ex-
preston of opinion by an intelligent
western constituency on President
Taft's record as compared with the
record of the democrats in congress.
"Taggart carried the democratic
banner to victory, as l hope Brother
Nicely will do in this instance. Hav-
ing in my youth been an inhabtant of
Kansas, / feel deep and abiding in
terest in her welfare, which she will
promote by swinging into the demo-
cratic column.
Somebody may inquire why | am
so DESTROYS of electing another demo-
crat when we have already sixty-five
majority in the house. The answer
is simple. In the present house of 391
members, while on a full vote it re-
Quires only 1876 votes to pass bill, We
have to have 262 votes to pass bill
over the presidents veto. While We
passed all our tariff bills originally by
vote of 10 l, when we came to
pass them over the presidents veto
we lacked fourteen votes Of having
enough. A change Of seven votes would
have given us the victory.
1T may be that some republican
congressional brethren who voted tC
sustain the vetoes at the extraordinary
session have learned something during
the congressional vacation by keeping
their ears to the ground, and may vote
with us if there are any more pres-
Dental vetoes of the tariff bills But
we know that Nicely will vote with us,
and that one vote may be decisive of
the result"
Speaker Clark quoted United States
Senator Works of California as say
| ing:
Taft and La Toilette are destined
to face each other in the next repub-
lican national convention, and If it
were left to a popular vote today La
Follettee would be nominated, and
easily, too"
United States Senator Bristow talks
in similar VEIN" said Speaker Clark,
"as do many other eminent republi-
cans-all of which tends to illustrate
the peculiar brand of harmony now
rending and tearing the G. o. p. in
| twain"

BIG FOUR NOT FEARED.
Minor Colleges Beating Largo Univer-
sity Elevens ReouIarlv

sity Elevens Regularly.
The big four" in football Is no
longer the aggressively dangerous COM
bination it once was. The smaller
colleges are now teaching the big uni
versiues something Of the gridiron
game. 1t was only by the rarest good
luck few years ago that an outside
team could score over Yale, Princeton
or Pennsylvania. Yet only a short
time ago the Army team routed Yale,
Annapolis played Princeton to a stand
still and the Browns whipped Pennsyl.
vania. Harvard and Cornell managed
to scrape through.
1t is really surprising the way the
teams Of the smaller institutions are
developing. Browns rise has been phe-
nomenal. Last year Brown annihilated
the Ellis and crushed the Quakers.
This year 1t has beaten Pennsylvania
and scored on Harvard.
