THOUSANDS MAKE Pill
GRIMAGE TO PARTAKE OF
HEALING WATERS

Guthrie turned oul at Mineral
Wells park by the thousands yester-
day, the first spring Sunday and the
first time any sort OF special event
was set The taking of a panano-
marie view Of the crowd was the sole
extra drawing power A crowd Of
perhaps 2,5O0 stood while the picture
man swept the park with his ma
chine
The most conservative estimates
places the visitors to the park be-
tween ! and 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon at 5000. II was probably more.
II was by fai the most general turn
ont Guthrie has haG in years. The
jam about the fountain and ihe water
tank was great, and 1t was apparent
that additional provisions must be
made for the summer crowds.
There were many out-of-town peo-
PIE here, including Santa Fe railway
people and people from Oklahoma
City, Perry, Newkirk and the small
towns of Logan county. Mingling
with the crowds were several aian
and women who attributed the fact
that they were there instead Of in
bed with rheumatism to the liberal
use Of sodic muriated water from
well No 2.
Mineral Wells park however, WAS
mot the sole attraction yesterday,
Highland park which has been de-
serted through the preliminary
spring days on account Of the sud.
den vogue Of the little park down on
the river, took on sumner activity
Great impfos enlenls have lieeA
made IN both parks. Extensive
planting OF flowers has been done In
both places and The grounds are IN
FAR better shape than ever before.

CURED toward the end Of last week at
a sale Of unredeemed pledges at the
Mont de Piete There were sold by
auction a child's drinking cup, plate,
spoon and knife and fork Fifty-one
years ago these souvenirs were de-
posted in the Paris municipal pawn
shop Every year since the interest
has been paid regularly and the right
Of redemption secured, but the family
never seem to have possessed the
necessary Is or 20 francs to resume
possession.
Evidently the poor people are either
dead or have become more needy.
Two years ago the interest ceased to
be paid, but the department, to their
credit, abstained from selling these
.elares and penates" Several letters
were addressed at the last known res
idence and to other places where the
pawners have lived. but they have
come back marked "Inconnu." The
sands Of the glass have run out and
the objects SO carefully guarded for
half a century have been sold.

way can git that blamed tower to
