HAS FIGHT
WITH TRAMP
Alva Bringolf, While Hauling Sand,
is Tackled BY Hobo and
Robbed 81 Some Small
Change.
WAS KNOCKED sEHsE1zss
Happened It Sand Pit Tramp De-
nanded Money and Brin-
goN Refused.
1As KNOCKED sENsEIEss

Alva Bringolf, who Is employed
BY his father hauling sand from the
pits east Of the city. had a very
thrilling experience Friday evening
In which he was robbed Of part of
his clothing and all Of the money
in his pocket.
This holdup was one Of the bold
est that has been reported in this
section for some time. The young
man had returned from the city to
the sand pit for more sand. AS he
was very busy at the time man
walked out from the road and be-
fore Bringolf saw him he was but
I = few steps away. The new conner
Immediately started the conyersa.
aon by asking Bringolf for the
money In his pocket. This Bringolf
refused to do and the stranger re-
marked that as he needed money
bsdly he would use force to obtain
It unless given 1t ct once. Bringolf
still refused to give UP his money
and the fellow hit him. This start-
cd night and a. the local young
nan is quite huskie It lasted for
me time. but the stranger was
llch larger than his opponent and
lsser some time he sncceeded n;
striking Bringolf. with such force as
to render him unconscious. While
the young man was in this condition
the robber removed some Of his
clothing, which he appropriated for
his own use. He then made a
search OF the injured mans pockets,
taking everything from them that
was Of any value. The stranger
then departed. leaving Bringolf "
ing on the ground still unconscious.
Some time after this some men
we're going past and noticed him ly-
Ing there. At first they thought hc
was asleep but on Investigating they
noticed the marks from the beating
given him by the tramp. After they
had worked with him for some time
they succeeded In returning him to-
consciousness. At first Bringolf did
not remember what had happened
but 1t soon came to him. He was
suffering from q badly bruised head
caused by the merciless beating the
hobo had given him. He returned
10 the scity and reported the affair
10 the police. but nothing was
found Of the culprit. who had evi-
IDENTIFY made q hasty retreat.
The pecuniary loss to Mr.. Brin-
xolf was small. a. he had only a.
little change In his pocket at the
tine. He was unconscious for an
hear and twenty minutes. and was
lucky to escape with as little harm
~ he did.

she did in a most charming way.
Miss Guys essay on Our Country
in the Transformation of the World
showed careful thought and prepara-
ton, and her yaledictory was sweet
and beautiful.
DR.. Gross presented to each of the
young ladies handsome Bible as a
token of his earnest wishes for their
future happiness and success.
Then came the awarding of medals
and prizes, which is always interest
ing almost to exciting in any schools.
Miss Sharp had two departments in
her room, the primary and intermedi
ate and the medals offered in both
departments were won by boys. Mas
ter Jerome Gazaway was winner in
the primary and Master Dan G. Poland
in the intermediate.
The medal given by Miss B.akeney
for the intermediate English school
was won by Miss Evelyn Buchanan
Of Tennessee, and the college schol-
arship medal by Miss Norma Allison
of Marsden, Okla.
Miss Clytie Ingram of Healdton re-
ceived the medal from piano school
and Miss Anne Ream Turman, the
medal in voice.
Mr.. Charlie SHeed won the medal
for best kept room in the boys hail,
and in grading the rooms at the girls
hall it was impossible to decide be-
tween two of the young ladies'. so that
Miss Norman Allison and Miss Alice
Jones each received medal for good
housekeeping.
The program Tuesday evening was
given by the pupils in piano, voice
and expression. The auditorium could
not accommodate all the visitors who
come. The numbers were all good
and showed excellent work on part
Of teachers and pupils. Several of
the numbers deserved special mention,
but We think none We're more pleas
ing than Miss Mamie Gross rendition
of Tennyson's "Gueneyere.' While
Miss Gross voice is not strong it re-
veals to the listener a marked degree
of culture, and her pOwer of express
sion is wonderful for one of her age.
One sees in her the soul of the artist
and the poet, so that her interpreta-
ton of the great master was beauti-
full indeed

THE PHILOSOPHERS DILEMMA.
I've never tried to cross a bridge

I've always promptly donned the coat
whenever it would fit.
l know the finest feathers make the
very finest birds,
And that my actions often speak
much Loader than my words.
I've never tried to Kill the goose that
lays the golden egg,
And always hang my ideal on the
very highest peg.
'Tis better to be wise than rich, al
ready this | know,
And that my shadow follows me wher-
ever / may go.

far frog will jump,
/ will not send the pitcher once too

before l lock the door
I quite appreciate the fact a stitch

And that, although it's cloudy here,
the sun doth somewhere shine.

That there are slips tween cups lips,

Aarnroue Commencement.

Hargrove college has just closed a
very successful years work, and
the commencement eXercis S es
which have been held this week were
very interesting and were largely at
tended.
The commencement sermon was
preached by Rev. G. b. Winton, Sun
day morning. 1t was mastery in its
simplicity, and the spirit of the Divine
teacher was breathed through every
sentence of it. and those who heard it
were made to feel that indeed Gods
work has ineXhaustible treasures for
those who seek them.
The literary address by Judge Will
liams of the supreme bench of Okla
homa was full of sound, wholesome
advice to the student body. And we
believe that the earnest suggestions
given will produce much good thinking
among those who We're fortunate
enough to hear him.
OF all the exercises none were of
so much interest as those of gradual
ing class Tuesday morning when Miss
Stella Carter of this city and Miss
Angie Guy received their diplomas as
the first graduates from the new Har-
grove College.
We were specially pleased to hear
Miss Carter, true to a noble ancestry
give a sketch of the life of the noted
Choctaw chief Apushmataha. This

When Kiss Time Comes!

Aha! Ho! no!
No more of this crude, loud, ostenta-
tious osculation!
No-siree! You've got to do it right
from this time on, according to Prof.
Robert e. Blount of the Oak Park
school, Chicago.
Kissing is high art-did you know
that? Well, it sure is.
Professor Blount says so-and he
knows. Scientific courtship,' he calls
this new study and there's kissing in
it, of course, but this, though, "fine
doins" must not be overdone.
Present arms"
Mug and gleeks"
Kiss, One. Two, Three! Break
# surely does sound good. The pro
fessor does not believe in continuous
espionage practiced upon "spooney"
couples. He advocates kissing and
other displays of affection in modera-
ton.
"Courtship," he says, "is too impor-
tant a factor in life to be dwarfed by
undue espionage. Young people must
be prepared for it by proper training,
and then only after adequate instruc-
ton, should they be provided the op-
portunity for private meeting"
And the young folks, and even few
older folks, think he's more than half
right. This thing of espionage is not
conducive of comfortable cooling and
the concomitants.
Free arm exercise with labial trim
mings is practiced to best effect when
only two are present-hugger and hug
gee.
It has been pointed out, too, that
practice along the line of Professor
Blount's text book may be INDUCED
in at home-if your wife isn't on watch
and the pretty hired girl also a student
Of the Blount course in love-making.
"Sweethearts need to be alone to-
gether," says Professor Blount.
"Hurrah," yells the sophomore
class.
Their love grows with expression -
he says.
"Gee-whiz, You know it," shout
the students, and turn to frantic dem
onstration.
Great man, that Blount-great head
great idea.

Your SILK Dress.

Had YOU ever thought of the in.er-
esting history that surrounds your
silk dress
The story Of silk is the most inter
esting of that of all other textiles.
According to the ancienc chronicles,
the Empress Si-ling-Chi, walking one
day in the palace gardens. CHANGED
to see strange and repulsive-looking
worm of a pale green co,or feeding
on mulberry leaf Her curiosity
was aroused and she returned and
watched it day after day, until it
had spun its silken prison. She told
the Emperor Of this curious crea-
ture and suggested to him that she
test the practicability of weaving the
gossamer threads with which it had
enshrouded itself. He assented, ami
the Empress collected number OF
these worms and fed them in a spe-
cially prepared place. This was about
26jO b. c., and from that day to this
the Empress Sizing Chi has been
known in China as the Goddess of
the Silkworms.' Each year the Chi
nese hold a celebration in her honor
during the season in which the silk
worm eggs are hatched
For nearly thirty centuries silk
culture was one of the cherished Sc
crets Of China. In the beginning the
gorgeous fabrics that were produced
were used only for royal robes. but
before half a century had gone bv
the silken stuffs of China became
articles of export to various portions
of Asia. For three thousand wears
great caravans plodded across the
continent to Persia, the gateway to
the West, loaded with their precious
bales The Persian traders sold the
silk Of China TO Syria, Egypt and
Greece. So well did the Chinese guard
their secret that the origin of silk
was not known to the Western world
until the middle of the sixth cen
tury. The Greeks and Romans thought
1T was either "a fleece which grew
upon a tree like cotton or a fiber
obtained from bark or the product
of some plant or flower
The discovery of the secret came
opportunely and Unexpectedly. Abous
$50 A. d the Emperor Justinian was
at war with Persia Long before then
vast quantities of raw silk had been
coming from China and its manufac-
ture had become an important in
dustry in the Byzantine Empire. All
Of it passed, as it had for centuries,
through Persia. This war cut off .he
supply and threw the manufacturers
into great distress. Just when this
industrial crisis was at its height two
HISTORIAN monks appeared in Con-
stantinopc. They HAD spent several
years in China and had obtained a
thorough knowledge Of the Ions
guarded secret of the Chinese meth
Cd of rearing worE-s and weaving
the silk. The penalty for taking silk
worm eggs out Of China was death.
but Justinia bribed the monks to
return to that country. Five years
later they came back, bringing with
them quantity of these precious
eggs concealed in their pilgrims s
