John Bright and the Carpet.

A characteristic story of John
Bright is told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor
In her new book. Il Myself" He was
at dinner one night with an M p.
whose wife by no means shared her
husbands democratic sentiments.
John Bright was sitting near his hos.
tess. and she was rather annoyed at
having him among her smart guests.
and thought to give him direct
snub, so she said during a pause In
the conversation:
"Mr. Bright, this rug, l understand,
was made by you, and I am very dis
satisfied with 1t. l have only had II
a short time, and it is very shabby
and badly made"
us it?" said Mr. Bright, getting up
deliberately from the table and taking
silver candelabrum which he put
down upon the floor. and, getting
upon his knees, closely examined the
carpet. you are quite right" he said,
blithely getting up, 1T is bad car
pet. and | will order my firm to send
you another in its place" And then
he calmly resumed his political con-
yersation and the dinner went on.

Grand Central station recently, and

said; you look enough like the boy
who took up things for me here 25
years ego to be his brother" The
servant smiled and said You are
nearly right, sir. because I'm the man
who waited on you then" On further

sELF-RESPEcT IS RESTORED
What Made College Girls Spirits
Rise During Discourse Of
Mrs. Society.

He was q fussily important society
man, and he had no use for women of
college education. But on one occa-
sion he invited young college grad
uate, the daughter of an old friend, to
his house. to take afternoon tea. 1t
was a windy day. and the girl arrived
at his suburban home with her skirts
blown about and her hair tumbling
about her ears, a state Of affairs OF
which she felt guilty conscious for
the whole OF her visit. The lady of
the house, Mrs. Society, poured tea.
and discoursed of girls in general.
II agree with dear James," she said,
that college education is not the
best preparation for the future life OF
young woman" She peered into
the cups to see II the maid had left
them In good order, and glanced at
her guest, who covered In her seat,
feeling intensely her disheveled con
dition, and dimly wondering If it were
due to her college education.
Mrs. Society, seeing that the offend
Ing maid had left dust In the cups,
frowned. Il think a college educa.
ton usually units young women for
the finer duties of domestic life,"
she said. and blew first in one cup.
and then In the other, to remove the
dust.
At that the college girl felt her
spirits rise to the skies. For" as
she explained afterward. in telling
the story I'VE did sometimes blow the
dust out of the cups. when we gave
tea parties, but we usually did 1t be-
fore the guests got there. YOUTHS

they were large. steady eyes that
Helen had liked as soon as she looked
into them. She had intended each
day to send back the pictures and
each day had put 1t of. This pro
crastination was not entirely from
negligence but because day dreams
around the mans personality had sift-
ed into her daily thoughts and she
hated to think of her dreams without
the face to keep them alive.
Where were her own pictures? Hell
en- hoped with guilty feeling that be
had found them worth a second
glance. There was no doubt that
their pictures had been merely ex-
changed on account of a mistaken
reading of the film number by the
photographers clerk. Eighty eight and
eighty-three were easily confused. But
why did he make no attempt to trace
his own pictures? Again Helen
blushed at her own thought: why
don't | trace my own"
"Oh-hello. Geoff!" Helen started
about quickly. Her fiance had come
In unannounced. Without reason she
swept the pictures from her desk and
turned them face downward She and
Geoff had been engaged more from a
family arrangement than from choice.
"Humph! | am glad you have a Sc
cret admirer."

words Infatuated the girl.

stiffened perceptibly.
"Well-I'l just have a look any
way"
You will do nothing of the kind"
she retorted. His air of ownership
and the right to pry into her affairs
maddened Helen. Never before had
Geoffry displayed such temper She
faced him squarely.
"Geoffry. you may as well under
stand now as later, that | will never
tolerate either suspicion regarding my
actions or display of temper such as
you exhibited when you first came into
my presence"
The man was stung by her calm
ness as well as by his own jealousy.
'If you think l want the girl who Is

angrily away, land | notice you are

From Geoffry's tone Helen felt that
he doubted her veracity.

BOY SCOUTS or MUSKOGEE AND
ELSEWHERE TO SOON TAKE
HISTORIC TRIP.
Will PASS THROUGH TULSA
With Co-Opcration of Scouts Along
Way, il VIII BE Second Great
Tour of the Prairies."

MUSKOGEE. Okla. Nov. 30
(SpeciaD-C. II. Fenstermacher.
head of the Boy Scout movement in
Muskogee and the only person in the
state, holding a grand masters GER
tificate, has begun the organization
of a movement among the Boy Scouts
OF the state, to retrace the steps or
Washington Irving, in his celebrated
tour of the prairies made in 1882.
The movement was suggested by Col
onel Clarence B. Douglas, secretary
of the Muskogee CommeRoial club,
following the publication of a map
of Irving's famous trail and the OPP
ening chapters of his book, The
Tour of the Prairies" in the Novem-
Der issue of the Wide West, a Mus
kogee literary publication. The map
which appears in the Wide West was
prepared by c. j. Phillips, its editor
who is perhaps the best informed
man on Indian Territory and Okla
homa literature in the entire state.
The proposed movement by the
Boy Scouts is to be made solely for
the purpose of perpetuating the route
of the famous writer of the early life
in this country. 1t is proposed that
the party of Boy Scouts camp at the
places used by Irving as camping
places, and erecting monuments
along the trail in order that the route
may be historically preserved. 1t is
the idea of CColonel Douglas that
newspaper correspondents and mag
azine writer's accompany the party
equipped with field cameras, in order
that a complete illustrated account OF
the tour may be preserved for pub
lication in the magazines and news
papers of the United States, and that
the managing editors of the great
dailies throughout the country be in
vited to send correspondents to
Muskogee to accompany the expedi-
ton in re-marking the trial made in
1892.
Mr.. Fernstermacher will seek the
cooperation of those In charge of
the Boy Scouts at Tulsa. Guthrie.
Oklahoma City, and other points adj
iCrent to the trail, in order that re-
lief parties from the various points
may meet the Muskogee Boy Scouts
enroute and participate in the slc-
ond great Tour OF the Prairies.'

toric turn of mind he soon became
interested in making a study of the
characters in history that visited this
country. He is j. S. Holden, poet
writer, publisher Of the New Era, a
weekly newspaper at Fort Gibson. In
1893 Colonel Holden erected a mon
ument to mark the spot where Wash

after his arrival at the Fort. He has
written a number of articles about
the noted characters that visited the
place in Civil war times.
Besides Irving the poet Henry

Arkansas, five miles from Muksogee.
After leaving the army post, where
now stands only the decayed ruins
OF the old barracks and some of the
houses which were used as officers
quarters, and mile from the federal
burying ground, Irving and his party
followed the Arkansas river to Tulsa,
and thence to the crossing above the
junction of the Cimarron and Ark
ansas rivers, then on west across
Deer creek, Lagoon creek and Coun-
Gil creek, into Payne county, themes
south across the Deep Fork and

into Oklahoma county, across the
north fork of the Canadian, down

1t is proposed that the Boy Scouts
be garbed in the identical style of

party, and that the different char
acters described in his Tour of the

correct as possible. The Muskogee
