Henry Sparks stumbled over two
trunks, his daughters bicycle, barked
his shin, bruised his toes and finally
reached the door. There in the hall
stood a young woman, comely ard
strong looking. "Is this the place you
want a girl?" she asked.
A sudden Joy leaped into Henry
Sparks heart. "Yes," he said. Come
in. We have Just moved; we're all up
side down here. Look out for the
boxes!"
Then Mr.. Sparks led the way into
the dining-room and turned the caller

knew the man. The girl was taken on
the spot, as she declared she was
ready to go to work then and there
and would have her things sent right
over from her cousins.
During the whole conversation Mrs
Sparks face had worn rather a puz
zled expression. When the girl had
volunteered to stay Mrs. Sparks said:
How did you happen to know we
wanted a girl?"

given by Mrs. G. II. Allied yester-
day afternoon at her handsome home
on South Virginia avenue, in honor
OF her birthday. Receiving with the
hostess was her daughter, Miss Maud

Clusters of lovely roses in tall

the coy living room.
During the afternoon, Mrs. r. w.
Garrette gave several instrumental
selections which were pleasingly and
skilfully rendered Miss Maud Al

usual. We're greatly enjoyed by all
present as Miss Alfield possesses an
especially well trained voice. She
was accompanied by Mrs Garrett
Mrs. F. 4. Ohlinger sang "A Lost
Chord" which was executed with
her usual charm and enthusiastic
ally received.
Mrs. II. +. Hall read very hui
morous paper. entitled. "A Cake and
Pie Mine" which caused much mer-
riment
The dining room was indeed a
bower of loveliness. Killarney roses
in tall vases graced the center of the
tables, while the mantel was a veri-
table bank of ported plants. The
guests were seated at these beauti-
fully appointed tables and a lunch
con consisting of fruit, chicken salad
on lettuce leaves, Roquefort cheese,
coffee and cake were served. As
sisting in the dining room were Mrs
j. L. Hill, Mrs. J. C. Warren, Mrs

Those enjoying Mrs. Alfield's hos
pitality were Rev. and Mrs II. J.

The affair was not intended for a
party, but rather a gather

Lutheran church, who came together
to devise ways and means of fur
nishing the new Lutheran church.
All were requested to bring anything
from a penny to a pound, and a good |
sum was the result.

a CASCARET.

You men and women who can't get
feeling right--who have headache,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath, dizziness, can't sleep, are bill
ious, nervous and upset, bothered with
q sick gassy disordered stomach, or
lave headache and feel worn out.
Are you keeping your bowels clean
with Cascarets, or merely forcing a
passageway every few days with salts,
cathartc pills or castor oil? This is
important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach,
remove the sour, undigested and fer
menting food and foul gases; take tho
excess bile from the liver and carry
out of the system all the constipated
waste matter and poison in he intes-
tines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straighten
you out by morning-a ten-cent box
from any drug store will keep your
stomach sweet; liver and bowels reg

StlTud Was Illegally Seized by
OFFICERS Here.

A shipment of liquor by automobile
from point outside oklahoma to
Westrn Oklahoma by automobile
which passes through eastern okla
hCma must be constructed as an IN
terstate commerce shipment ana the
enforcement officers have no right TO
seize the liquor or libel the automo-

down by Judge Campbell at Ardmors
yesterday and Is of much importance
to the liquor interests Of the state.
In the case at Issue the testimony
showed that quantity of whiskey
had been shipped to Stroud, Oklaho-
ma from Joplin. Mo, overland and
that an Overland automobile had
been used in transporting the wet
goods. At Tulsa the automobile was
seized and llbelcd and the whlskey
destroyed. Suit was brought to re-
cover the property and the court
held that the authorities had no righ.
to intercept the machine to seize the
property. no more than they woull
stop a railroad train carrying an in

The court also held that where Il

the owners consent In transporting

ance by the owner of the real use Of
the team was no defense and the gov
