The Scales Have Fallen.
Bluejacket Okla.

Editor Daily Chieftain: I wish to
reply briefly to Observer and then the
discussion closes with me. Observer
Ought to know that the rules of logic
and science as used by man do not
apply when used in discussing the
miricals of the Bible. If we reason
from cause to effect we can not ex
plain the story of the creation. the
Ark, Jonah and the whale. nor the
miraculous things performed by Christ
OF later date. There is really no com
parison between the power OF God and
the power of man. believe God
knew his business and done It well
To repudiate part of the scriptures
is to repudiate them ALL The only way
we can explain the many wonders OF
the Bible is to say they are "Miraeu-
lous." Observer says that the scales
have fallen from my eyes politically
as well as religiously | accept tn
statement as compliment But
wish to hit Observer a little jolt be
fore close this article. His writings
remind me of my school boy days. II
those days | purchased a volume OF
Bob Ingersolrs Gems of Thought.
/ read the book and thought that Inger-
soil was truly great man. I con
vtrted some of his writings into an
essay and sprung it on the public as
strictly original stuff" | was young
and green then. but since l have grown
older l have learned more of life, and
truly the scales have fallen from my
eyes in more ways than one.

The presidents office is an ellipse In
plan. A triple bay window forms one
end, and at the other end is an open
fireplace. Four doors, opening in
ward, are equally disposed, two on
each side, and are curved to conform
with the curve of the wall. The tall
windows are hung with stately, heavy
curtains, and are flanked by book
cases set into the wall The fire.

nuted Ionic columns support the man
tel on which stands bellglass COW

the fireplace are complete prepare
lions for wood fire. Even the paper
is placed under the logs, ready to ig-
mite. The style of the room is classic
colonial, and the woodwork is paint
ed creamy white with blue-white en-
bellishment Each of the four large,
ornate door-frames is surmounted by a
rich pediment. The wall is covered by
a warm olive green burlap, which ex-

The only picture on the wall of
President Taft's Office is bust photo

WORTHY OF GREAT MONARCH
King Of sardinia's TactfuI Manner a.
Conceaiing Kindness Done to
Impoverished Follower.

The King of Sardinia, Charles AL.
bert, was very kind and obliging to
the French royalists who were at
Turin. The Duke of F., with whom
ne was connected, had an employment
about the court-he had been severely
wounded, and lost leg in the affair
OF the Three Days. The king heard
that the duke was anxious to visit the
king and royal family at Prague, but
That his finances were not favorable to
SO long journey. His majesty, there
fore, thought of an expedient which
would enable the duke to crafty his
loyalty, without his feelings being
wounded. ~a.,
-- Duke" he said, would you do me
the favor to choose some horses for
me in Bohemia; and as your best way
Will be through Prague, of course, you
Will pay respects to the royal family
there ~
AS the journey was on the kings
service, the duke could feel no reluct.
ance, about having his expenses paid.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A -; applications !;a!5y Of q Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back
The Natural Color.

- 'Pull out one gray hair and a
dozen will take it's place" is an old
saying, which is, to a great extent,
true, If no steps are taken to stop
the cause. When gray hairs appear
it is sign that Nature needs assist
ance. 1t is Natures call for help.
Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair
that is falling out, is not necessarily
sign of advancing age, for there
are thousands of elderly people with
perfect heads of haid without a sim
gle streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when
the hair seems to be lifeless of dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of
the best preparations to use is the
old-fashioned "sage tea which our
grandparents used. The best pre-
paration of this kind is Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sui
phur, scientifically compounded with
later discovered hair tonics and slim
ulants, the whole mixture being
carefully balanced and tested by ex-
perts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. It refreshes dry. parched hair,
remtves dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its nat
ural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start.
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
dists.

Lovers Waited Lona.

A miracle of patience was the court.
ship of worthy slipper-maker of the
town of Elbing, Western Prussia, and
his bride Of few days. Their be.
trothal had lasted for 80 years. When
the man was % years of age mar.
riage between the pair was actually
arranged, but at the last moment an
afhuent aunt on whose fortune they
had been counting interposed with
the threat Of disinheritance in case
this particular union should take
place. Accordingly the wedding was
postponed till the obstacle should
have been removed. It was not lons
before the aunt died, but when her
will was opened it was found that she
had bequeathed her possessions to her
nephew only on condition that he did
not marry the girl of his choice for
at least another 30 years. With com.
bination Of fidelity and prudence
which is deserving of wonder, il not
Of admiration, the couple calmly set
themselves to wait out this term. Il
has at last expired, and they have be.
come man and wife, though it should
be added that the marriage ceremony
had to take place in the house Of the
bridegroom, who is now confined ia
his room by heart complaint.

Sounds Like Good LOGIC.

Recently, several educators came to
the conclusion, after lot of argument
and discussion, that it is useless to
teach girls higher mathematics and
logic and that the time should be de-
voted to giving the girls a more prac.
tical training that will fit them to be
housewives and mothers. It is much
better, say the educators, to teach
cooking, housekeeping and nursing.
So far as logic is concerned, the edu-
Gators point out that the minds of
young women can be disciplined just
as much, if not more so, by putting
them through rigorous courses in
what will be of practical benefit to
them in life. It further is argued that
mathematics and such studies do not
help a woman to be a better COM
panion to her husband, for he uses
those things only in his business, and
a woman rather should study things
that can be of help to him in his hours
Of relaxation.
