Hat She Laid Down is Sold for Quarter

Steubenville, o., Dee. 19.-If Miss
Mamie Green ever attends another
rummage sale she will go bareheaded
Miss Green, active in charitable and
social work, was one of the promoters
of rummage sale to give poor folks
a chance to buy cast-off articles cheap
ly. She served as clerk and laid
her $50 hat near a counter where sec
ond hand millinery was being sold at
25 cents.
An Italian woman picked up the
hat with the query:
How much?"
Twenty ?five cents. said the hur-
ried clerk
The triumphant daughter of Italy
walked out with her bargain. When
Miss Green looked for her hat on
leaving the blunder was discovered

sooners Choose Football Captain.

Thursday afternoon, December 10.
the Oklahoma Sooners met and chose
Hubert Ambrister of Norman, quar-
terback on the team for the past two
seasons, captain for next year Am
brister is a graduate from the School
of Fine Arts and second year law
student Like Clark, Capshaw and
Thmpson who have preceded him, Am
brister is an "a" student and exceed
ingly popular in the activities of the
university and his teammates.
The Sooners' choice was wise one
for the great victories which they
have won the past two years were in
some degree the result of Ambrister's
generalship. Regardless of whether
his team was in the lead or losing the
game, Ambrister's smile and cheering
words have at all times kept the Soon
ers in the fighting spirit He has a
wonderful ability in detecting the weak
nesses of his enemy, and ready
power in marshalling his men against
that weakness. With most of the vet.
erans back in their places, and many
who were ineligible this year who will
next year answer the Sooner call to
gridiron service, the 1913 team from
the University of Oklahoma should
gain a wonderful record under the
leadership of Captain Ambrister.

Washington, d. c., Dec 2O-The

Lost Their Home

Last Friday evening about nine
o'clock, while many of our citizens
were at the circus, the fire whistle blew
long and loud, the alarm was occasion
ed by a fire in the home of Mr.. and NJ rs.
Will Dietz OF the Belding addition.
Owing to the fact that the fremen were
pretty well scattered at the time OF the
alarm, considerable time elapsed before
the department reached the house and
the flames had nearly completed the
work of destruction.
Mr.. Dietz had recently purchased the
house and the loss falls severely upon
him. The house was insured in the
Wagner Agency for 5000. and the con-
tents for $500. and the loss was prac-
tically complete on both. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dietz were at the ci rcus when the fire
started and are at loss TO know what
caused it.

HADLEY PROGRESSIVE
But Says There Is No Need OF New
Party To Gain Ii

Gov. Herbert 5. Hadley, of Missouri,
floor manager of the Roosevelt forces at
the Republican national convention,
tells why he will not support Col.
Roosevelt. In the course of his state
ment, Gov. Hadley says:
"The reasons urged by those who
have Joined in this movement are that
the Republican party is sectional
party, that it has outlived its useful
ness, and that il is not in accord with
the progressive spirit of the day on
account of the fact that its machinery
is in the control of men who are either
conservative or the representatives of
special interests.
have been unwilling TO concede that
the Republican party has ceased TO be
a useful agency of good government.
| believe large majority of the Repub'
lican voters believe in progressive
policies and principles of government,
and that those voters can make their
opinions effective through the existing
party machinery. And believe that
the success ofprogressive principles
can be more promptly andeffectively
accomplished than through the organ
ization of third party.
"What assurance have those who
join in the formation of new party
that four years from now the members
of the national committee of that party
will not use, in some unfair way, their
authority as against delegates selected
in favor of some candidate for the
presidency? No party can claim for
itself a monopoly of honest men, and
no party can make itself proof against
dishonest, selfish, or designing men
securing positions OF power or authority
therein.
81 have further felt that the platform
adopted by the Republican convention
this year shows that the Republican
party as il now exists is not reaction
ary organization. While there were q
number OF planks that should like to
have seen adopted particularly the
plank declaring in favor OF direct
primaries-which were not adopted
the platform, as a whole, is the most
progressive platform ever adopted by
our party"

shut off the power and before he hard

came grand rush of water from the

mass cutting out the wall and carrying
everything movable into the river.
Luckily Mr.. Whitsell escaped just
in time or he too would have went into
the pit. The gates at the head OF the

water soon run out leaving ii dry and

Almost every day brings some new
evidence of quiet hustling done by
candidates who know they don't need
a blare of trumpets TO get subscriptions,

them in. Many people are waiting for
some hustling candidate TO ask them
for their renewal or new subscription
and the one who asks them first will
be the one TO receive their support. III

you are trying TO do your part. Up TO
the present time there are still hundreds
of people who have never been
approached by any candidate and If
you want that piano it is up TO you to
get busy and ask every person you
meet. Don't be afraid TO ask any one
you meet, an introduction to each and
every person is not necessary to get

proper in asking strangers for their
subscriptions and they will admire you
