The Elusive Fly.

Any one who has tried with out
stretched hand to catch a fly cannot
fail to have noticed Its wonderful
alertness in escaping. '..One reason
for this" explains a naturalist. ''is the
fact that the 6y was watching the
movements Of Its would be captor out
Of all OF most of Its 5000 eyes. An
other reason for its rapid retreat is
that. instead OF seeing one hand COM
ing toward 1t, the fly would have seen
at least 1900 hands all looking alike
and all moving down upon It in the
same direction. A third reason Of the
Ay's nimbleness is its ability to vi
brate Its wings nearly 700 times In a
second and to travel through the air
at q rate of a mile in two and a half
minutes or twenty -four miles an hour. "

DRESS.

Courage oozes out of the holes
in a ragged suit and fear enters.
But give the same man a new
suit, clean linen. a good hat and
shining shoes and you will see
how soon fear will fiy away and
confidence be restored. He who
before was afraid to speak In
whispers lest he might be heard
and consequently seen will now
talk loudly Of million dollar
propositions. though he may not
have a cent In his pockets. 1t
Is the duty of every man to
dress as well and neatly as his
means and circumstances Will
allow. He should cultivate taste
in his apparel and show wisdom
In its selection. His main OBJ
ject should be to give grace to
his figure and attractiveness to
his general appearance; but.
above all. he should dress In ac-
cordance and in keeping with
his station In life.-Rev. Madison

Whom Friendship Counts.

The doors Of the deformed Rnan are
always locked, and the key Is On the
outside. He may have treasures Of
charm inside, but they will never be
revealed unless the person outside CO.
operates with him in unlocking the
door. A friend becomes, to a much
greater degree than with the ordinary
man, the indispensable means Of dis
covering ones own personality. One
only exists, 30 to speak, with friends.
1t Is easy to see how hopelessly such
a sensitiveness Incapacitates a man
for business, professional or social
life, where the hasty and superficial
impression is everything, and disas-
ter is the fate Of the man who has
not all the treasures of hts personal
ity In the front window where they
can be readily inspected and ap.
praised.-From the September At

NEGROES MAY BURN
OKLAHOMA TOWN
ADVANCING FROM ALL POINTS AND
THREATENING TO KILL WHITES.
Negro Who Killed City Attorney Is
Strung Up, But Escapes and Is
Later Shot.

COweta, Okla.-Ed Suddoth, a negro,
was shot to death by a mob of citizens
who had armed themselves following a
battle between blacks and whites in
which Suddoth killed J. R. Beavers, city
attorney, and wounded Carmen Oliver
and Steller Thompson, both white men.
Suddoth was wounded, and was then
strung up to a water tank, but was cut
down before he died and locked in a va.
cant building. A deputy attempted to
take the slayer to jail. As the negro
was being lifted into an automobile the
mob opened fire, Probably fifty bullets
entered his body.
The other white man are fatally injured
and several negroes have been seriously
hurt.
Large numbers of negroes are arriving
from the surrounding country, and a race
war seems inevitable. White men are
patroling the streets and guarding their
homes.
The trouble started when a young man
named Swazer was walking along the
street with a young lady. A negro, Ed
Ruse, in passing pushed the girl off the
sidewalk. Swazer Immediately struck
the negro, and another white man seized
the negro, and Swazer and he gave him
a beating.
Ruse was walking the streets with a
long knife in his pocket, looking for the
man who held him when Swazer struck
him. When City Marshal Hurt went
after him and ordered him to give up the
knife the negro attacked the marshal,
who shot him. Ed Sudloth, another ne
gro, at that moment opened fire from a
house on the opposite side Of the street
with an automatic revolver, killing City
Attorney Beavers, an onlooker to the
marshaPs effort to arrest Ruse, and
wounded two other white men, Carmen
Oliver and SteIler Thompson, fatally.
