roads overseers and town ship officers

a little money about SlO0 per year.
This amount coming IN, as It does, in
driblets, is grossly inadequate and no

BAN ON
BULLFIGHT

Muskogee, May 30.-The ardent pro.
tests Of Che Ministers alliance Of this
city resulted yesterday in the indefl-
mite postponement Of the bull fight
that was scheduled and advertised to
take place at the fair grounds yester-
day afternoon.
A week ago It was announced that
real exhibition Of the favorite Span.
ish sport would be shown to people
Of this city.
Muskogees sport fans Immediately
became interested. Many admitted
that they never had seen bull fight,
but said they guessed it would sur
pass even pugilism as an entertaining
sport. Baseball became Of secondary
interest to the sporting population Of
the city, and Are you going to the
bull fight?" superseded @How do you
think the team win come out today?~
as the method OF salutation.
And the almost invariable answer
was, Bull fight? Sure, I'm going.
Wouldn't miss it for anything A
sure enough" bull fight is not an Or
dinary occurrence in Oklahoma
But the pious ones Of the city were
inclined to frown upon the proposed
exhibition The ministers especially
became indignant. It was called
brutal" Outrageous" "barbarous,"
and other things.
Last Thursday the Ministerial aIll-
ance held a special meeting to see
what could be done to prevent the
fight. They sought the county at
torney and asked If there we're not a
law governing the matter.
Don't know Of any law against bull
fights" he said.
The ministers were not to be non
plused easily They then reconyened
their indignation meeting, and passed
lengthy resolutions declaring that it
would cast adverse reflections on Mus
kogee to allow an exhibition Of bull
fighting in the city
Meanwhile the toreadors and bulls
iourneyed toward the city. WheG they
arrived yesterday they were apprised
Of the disapprovaI Of their show.
The sheriff finally decided that he
would acquiesce to the ministers ap-
peals and try to prevent the fight un-
der the law against cruelty to ami
mails, prize fighting, or something else
well, pondered ]. +. Tanner, man
ager OF the attraction, y don't want
10 do anything Illegal If the sheriff
is going to arrest us, we shan't put on
the show"
So the toreadors and bulls spent an
eventless day in Muskogee recuperat
ing. No bull fight was staged.

Old Question Of Public and

Alleging that her husband called
her down for devoting so much Of her
time to lecturing before the Parent
Teachers association, and said to her:
"You ought to be at home with your
husband instead Of telling other peo-

S. Kroeck Of Los Angeles, author OF
books and lecturer on subjects dealing

plishment of her great mission 1t has
been necessary to neglect her own
tireside, to forsake the joys Of ideal
motherhood and leave her husband
unennobled by fatherhood in order
that she might with pen and tongue
lead the great world into the path Of
perfect human love, It should have
been her husbands part unselfshly
and uncomplainingly to share her
burdens and depriyations and cheer

When William Enggas, a plumber
at Fifth and Grand. got married he
had a stylish horse and neat piano
box buggy. A few years later the
horse had been replaced by a sturd-

into a road wagon with an extra
seat. Now, when the Enggas family
goes driving which is often, the road
wagon is found to have grown to a
sort of omnibus, with seats for twelve.
A team of chunks has replaced the

THACKERY AS \ REPORTER.

Thackeray once acted as police re-
porter for the London Diogenes and
performed his work in no perfunctory
way. How the future novelist must
have enjoyed observing and record
ing his bit of courtroom humor:
Pat Fogarty went all the way from
Manchester to London in order to
thrash Mick Fitzpatrick, which he
did, winding p the performance with
the assistafite of an lawful horse
shoe" He was detected and brought
before Justice Simpleman.
well, sir" began the court, ''you
came here from Manchester, did
you?"
Your honor has answered correct. y
"You see the complaintant's head,
it was cut by sharp instrument. Do
you know what cut it?"
"Ain't your honor after saying that
a sharp instrument did?"
Il see you mean to equivocate," said
theh court, becoming restive. Now,
sir, you cut that head; you came here
to cut it, did you not? Now, sir, what
motive brought you to London?"
"The lotomtive, yur honor"
"Equivocating again, you scoun-
drel!" said the court, waxing warm.
Raising up the horseshoe and holding
it before Pat, he said, do you see
this horseshoe, sir?"
"Is it a horseshoe, yer honor?"
Don't you see it is, sir? Are you
blind? Can you not tell at once that
it is a horse shoe?"
"Bedad, no, yer honor"
mo-" angrily.
"No, yer honor; but can yerself
tell?"
"Of course, l can, you stupid Irish
man."
"Oh, glory be to goodness, see what
education isl" soliloquized Pat aloud.
"Sure yer honor, a poor, ignorant
creature like mesilf wouldn't know
a horses shoe from mares. -

THE WORKADAY TRIO.

If your nose is close to the grindstone
rough,
And you hold it down there long
enough,
In time you'll say there is no such
thing
AS brooks that babble or birds that
sing;
These three will all of your world
compose
Just you and the stone and your poor
old nose!
Yet buds do blossom, and lanes are
green,
And woods do lure, with an ardor
keen,
And leaves are rustling, and skies
are there,
No matter whether you see or care;
And how can they come, do you sup
pose,
To you and the stone and your poor
old nose
If to go and seek them you sti / re-
fuse,
1t doesn't hurt them-it's you that
lose,
For the zephyrs whisper and lovers
sigh,
Whatever you doubt, disclaim, deny!
And the worlds rhyme, while you're
but prose
Yes, you and the stone and your poor
old nose! -Berton Braley.
