BOWLING EXCITING

The relative standing of the two
leading teams remains the same after
last nights festivities. The Giants
took three games from the Owls on
the west side and Gleue's bunch
took three from Matthews on the
the east side. From here it looks as
though the positions of the teams at
the finish would be in about the
order as given in Mondayevening's
paper. The excitment is becoming
intense and there is lots of noise and
II remarks being made which may
lead up to several series of post sea
son games. The following is the re-
suit of the east side 1,r11nn1,s.

WHEN THIRTEEN WAS LUCKY.

A correspondent of the New York
World attempts to controvert the SUI
perstitious idea that the number Is
is unlucky and he points out the fol
lowing significant facts to justify his
contention:
Thirteen is the United States lucky
number. Thirteen was the original
number of States. There were thir'
teen stars in the helmet of the God
dess of liberty and thirteen arrows
in the talons of the eagle emblem of
the United States. In 1913 a Presi'
dent will be inaugurated, Woodrow
Wilson, in whose name there are
thirteen letters"
Mr.. Wilson was christened Thorn
as Woodrow Wilson," we believe, sc
Thomas" will have to be dropped
In fact, it has already been dropped
as was the case with Mr.. Cleveland
who was christened stephen Gro

HON. FERDINAND C. CLAIBORNE Of PONTE
COUPEE PARISH ANNOUNCES FOR CONGRESS-
Has Been Active in Reform Movements and Is Responsible
For Much Good Legislation at Present Sitting
of General Assembly.

Judge Hall as one of the committee
to prepare legislation to be put be,
fore the General Assembly to be en-
acted into laws. He did splendid ser,
vice in this respect and afterwards
on the floor of the House in looking
after reform measures. He has been
considered leader at this session
of the Legislature and his record
for reform justifies the consideration
Mr.. Claiborne announced himself
as candidate for Speaker of the
House and at the outset could have
been assured of success had he been
willing to make certain promises and
deals. He, however, preferred to
win without this or go down into hon.
orable defeat. He waged a vigorous
campaign and all admitted that he
had bright chances of having his
hope realized, when, only a few days
before the converting of the Legisla-
ture, the mighty Mississippi left it's
banks and started in a stream of de-
structiOn to the gulf. Mr.. Claiborne
threw his political chances to the
winds and was foremost in the res
cue work. Night and day he worked
to save his people and their chat
tells. When this work was finished
the Legislature had already convened
and another man was Speaker.
When the death of his friend, the
late lamented Bob Wickliffe, shocked
the nation, Mr.. Claiborne was too
grieved to begin the mad scramble
for office. He shrank from inter
views and any statements as to his
intentions We're matters of conjecture
Now, that the election is matter of
but few weeks and his duties in
the Legislature are ended, he makes
this his first announcement.
Young, able, brilliant, capable eth
er in committee or on the floor, he
we'll merits success.

the dealer, "but I'll sell it ON the
same terms as the mail order house

"All right" said the customer, you
can send it along and charge it to my
account"

piled. mo charging accounts. You
can't do business with the mail or

The customer replied.
"Now 2 cents for postage and 5
cents for a money order"
"What--"
Certainly, you have to send a
money order to a mail order house,
you know"
The customer, inwardly raging,
kept to his agreement and paid the
nickel.
"Now rs cents expressage."
"Well I'll be-" he said, but
paid it, saying, Nov hand me that
saw and I'll take it home myself and
be rid of this foolery."
Hand it to you? Where do you
think you are? You're in Oklahoma
and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have
to wait two weeks for that now"

saw on a peg and put the money in
his cash drawer.
