POGO CHARLES HARD LUCK
Surely Hls Hoodoo Was on the Job
When He Selected New York's
Mayor az Butt for WlttiIism.

II you happen to be walking on q
New York street, and a man ap-
proaches you, wearing shiny hat
and a V-shaped beard. do not address
him as Little Whiskers." no matter
how merry you may feel. For 1t Is
Just possible that he may be Mayor
Gaynor Everyone knows that Mayor
Gaynor believes In the complete liber-
ty of the citizen, and abominates the
misuse Of power by the police. Just
the same, Horace, have a care. He
had Just completed writing an impas-
stoned letter one recent day, in which
he hung the police force by hair
over the bottomless pit because one
of their number had arrested man
without evidence for a conviction.
And then Mayor Gaynor. who is a
fond pedestrian, stamped out of HIS
office and across the Brooklyn bridge
on his way home. He encountered
one POGO Charlie, who desired to be
comforted with food and drink
Get away" snapped his honor.
"Aw," said Mr. POGO Charlie, ''yuh
amt sore. are yuh, Little Whiskers?
Lemme rub youh'r brush for luck
Mayor Gaynor's eyes are peculiarly
cold and gray. Mr.. POGO Charlie
hastily abandoned his desire to stroke
the mayors whispers. "They was
brlstlin SO I think they'd a cut me-"
he confessed later, "and I'd likely
come down wit blood poisonin'."
Mayor Gaynor went his way-which
led to police telephone on the bridge.
Five minutes later the measured
clomp of fiat feet might have been
heard approaching the spot The
plain clothes men were ordered out,
to repress mendicancy in general, and
in particular to lead into grief and
desolation the gent called POGO
Charlie, who had addressed the mayor
of our fair city as Little Whiskers."
For the remainder of the winter Mr..
Charlie will be provided with quar-
ters on Blackwell's island. And the
mendicants who had begun to swarm
through the streets until they were
almost as common as in General Bing-
hams term as police commissioner,
have largely faded One mathematic-
ally inclined police officer discussed
the event. POGO Charlie" said he,
"had 5,000,O47 chances-according to
the latest census of New York city
to win and one to lose. And when he
called the mayor Little Whiskers' he
picked that one chance and lost

HOMEMADE BRAINS.

Yesterday, in a general way, We
called attention to the matter of text
books to be adopted for use in our
schools The commission that will
adopt these books will meet in July.
The Ardmoreite would like to urge
upon the members of this commission
the great good to be derived from
adopting text books by Oklahoma au-
thors, Oklahoma teachers-instructor
who are familiar with the conditions
as they exist in educational circles in
this state.
The greatest thing that ever built
up state is the tendency of the peo-
pie of that state to patronize the diff
ferent industries of that state The
home merchant, the doctor, the manu-
facturer who may be looking for a
location in a new state will always
cast his eyes favorably upon' the state
whose citizens give their patronage to
the home dealer, the home doctor and
the home producer, or manufacturer.
If we buy our suits from Suitem &
Co, and our calicoes from Yard &
Sticks in place of from some mail
order house; if we take the home
medices concoctions in place of those
of the millionaire maker of patent
medicines: if we buy our brick from
Clay and Burnem and advertise in the
home papers in place of the Thursday
Friday Evening Post and buy our
meats from the stores of Dill & Pick
les why should we not patronize home
made brains? If the merchant and the
manufacturer of the everyday neees-
stiles of life can and do furnish us
the very best of materials in their
particular lines, why will not the edu-
Gated school teacher of Oklahoma be
the proper one to write our text
books?
The man who is familiar with the
demands and needs of the community
is the man to cater to those needs.
This applies just as much to the man
who has brains to sell as to he who
has brick to dispose of. The man
the teacher and instructor who has
thoroughly familiarzed himself with
the needs of the budding minds OF the
children in the state wherein he
works should be, in our opinion, pre-
eminently fitted to conceive and bring
into the school world the books that
will be of the most paramount benefit
The commission which viii have
charge of the selection of the text
books OF this state will make no mis-
take in choosing works from the pens
OF men who are identified with the
school Interests OF oklahoma.-Ard
morite.

ResourcefuI Woman.

Miss Mary Donnelly, cashier of Mrs.
o. H. p Belmont's new suffrage
lunchroom" in New York, was prais-
ing during an afternoon lull the re.
sourcefulness of her sex.
Let the anti-suffragists beware Z
she said. Woman is bound to get the

full to lose.
How resourceful woman Isl A girl
sat in train one day with an uncut
magazine in her hand She wasn't
reading; she couldn't. She was just
lifting apart the edges of the uncut
leaves and nearly standing on her
head to peer at the text and pic-ures
within. So an old gentleman across
the aisle took out his knife shyly.
But the girl didn't look at him
She kept on peering between her uncut
pages. And finally the old gentleman
opened his knife and reached across
the aisle. but
The girl drew a hairpin from her
pretty coiffure and proceeded to cut
the leaves briskly.
THE old gentleman drew back and
his neighbors smiled. thereupon he
said, sotto voce:
I've heard that woman can do
anything with hairpin; but, at any
rate, she can't sharpen pencil with.
out a penknife.'
AT that moment the girl, still IN
tently reading, took a pencil from her
pocketbools, bit three or sour spfinters
of wood of the end OF it, and calmly
made note on the margin Of her
magazine"

rAE HOUSEWIFE.

All day she is toiling, she's baking,
she's boiling, she's cleaning the win
dows, she's sweeping the floor; she's
sewing on patches and picking up
matches and chasing the agents away
from the door. She's cooking, she's
canning, she's scheming, she's plan
ming, she's looking for dust with her
eye to lens; she's laboring hard in
the early spring garden, she's begging
the neighbors to keep up their hens.
She's dyeing her dresses and sweetly
they'll look pretty well wheh
they're turned inside out; she's put
ting mp pickles to save a few nickels,
she's whacking up cabbage. to make
into kraut. There's no rest or play
time through all the long day time,
there's nothing in sight that would
make her heart glad and e'en when
she's sitting she takes up her knitting
to fashion a sock or muffler for dad.
Oh, why should a woman do tasks
What pleasure to her
does existence accord, and what is
the guerdon that pays for the burden
where finds she the profit, and where
the reward? Her husband is coming,
a roundelay humming. he calls her a
pet name and gives her kiss; her
weary face brightens, with love her
eye lightens, she seems quite content
with such payment as this

The time and money spent on an
effort to get congress to repeal the
act of 1897 against the introduction of
liquor into Indian country" so far as
it affects eastern Oklahoma, will he
wasted
While a majority Of the people Of
oklahoma might be enlisted in favor
Of such a movement--whioh is doubt
ful-the prohibition people through
out the United States, aided by the In
dian rights association, would WELD
an influence that congressman could
not disregard
The case Of the army canteen Illus
trates It. 1t makes no difference what
the congressman may think about it
individually. The folks in their own
districts who are opposed to prohibi-
ton will not pay any more attention
to what is done few hundred miles
away, so long as they are let alone.
The prohibitionists, on the other
hand act more on sentiment and are
just as grateful for prohibition legis
lation in old Indian Territory. in the
army, or in any other place under con
gressionsl control as if it affected
their own communities.
