already there is evidence that she is
rapidly getting back to her old pro-
gressiye ways of doing things.
No city in Oklahoma. or any other
state, can in truth give anything but
praise to Oklahoma City, if honesty
and fairness are the standards by
which comment is measured.
Last week that city made canvass
for new members to the Chamber of
Commerce, adding more than 500 new
members, making total OF more than
1900 members, who pay monthly dues
Of at least $3.50 per month into the
organization. However. corporations.
o. Individuals that are able to do so,
ray $5. $40, $40 and as high as $50 per
MONTH making the total income from
dues between $4,000 and $4,000 a
month, or about $4,000 annually.
When men are so much Interested
in the growth and development OF
their city as to voluntarily go down
into their jeans and dig up the cold
cash in this way, is it any wonder that
the city continues to grow? Oklaho-
ma City is not only the pride of the
great young state of Oklahoma; but
it is indeed THE wonder city of the

Fatal French Blank Cartridge.

A strange and sad accident occurred
in the course of drill maneuvers at
Montreuil-sous-Bois in the suburbs OF
Paris, where a soldier was killed by a
blank cartridge discharged at him by
a fellow soldier. A company OF the
Thirty-first regiment was taken out to
Montreuil for maneuvers. At three
o'clock In the afternoon the lieuten-
ant in command decided to order a
sham attack on fors. which his SOL
diers We're to storm. Some of the sol
diers We're posted as sentries, and the
others were told that in storming the
imaginary fort they were to try spe-
cially to take the sentries prisoners,
but formal order was given to the
soldiers that they were not to load
their rifles. In spite of this shot
was suddenly heard, and a soldier
fell with a groan. He was a young re-
cruit called Laurent, and near him
stood another soldier who had acted
as sentry and was completely dunn
founded by what had happened Either
he did not know that there was a
cartridge in the weapon or he fired
thinking that 1t was only part OF the
sham fighting. Laurent was taken to
the hospital at Begin. gnd soon after
ward expired. He had been killed by
the packing of the blank cartridge,
which, being fired within only a yard
or two of him, acted like a bullet. The
unfortunate soldier was the eldest son
of widow, who has three smaller
children to bring up.-Paris Corre7

sideIIght on LIoyd-ceoroe.

On the day Lloyd-George became
chancellor Of the exchequer he left
the house with a friend of his boy
hood land his love of old friends is
not the least attractive phase of his
characterl. AS they talked of his ad-
vancement he said: In all my ca
reer | do not remember hand be-
ing held out to me from above and
and voice saying: ''Dring fynoy
yma (climb thou up here). But don't
misunderstood me-" he went on,
there have been thousands of hands
which have pushed me up from be-
hind" He does mot forget these
hands. He does not forget from
whence comes his authority and his
commission. There have been times
when one has feared-times when his
light anchorage seemed in danger of
yielding to the impact of opportun-
ism. But that memory Of his own
people, that loyalty to the inspiration
of the mountains and the simple ira
ditions of his fathers has saved him
and will save him.-London Daily

Laughed Out His Name.

1t is hard to be laughed out Of ones
surname. That is what happened to an
lnoffensive gentleman, Charles SaiDs-
bury Pickwick, Esq, who after the pub
lication of Dickens famous novel felt
constrained to advertise in the Times
informing the world that owing to its
having been brought into ridicule and
made byword by the novelist he In
tended to abandon his name forever.
This was the more hard in his case
because he proudly traced bis name
to a knightly origin-from 'Piquez-
vite"-''cnur fast"

had gone before look very ordinary;
but when the difficulties had been
overcome by pumping through one
drift, shoveling out of another then
cutting two fences to permit OF a
cross country run through the fields,
the going was clear to Buffalo and
the run from Batavia to Buffalo was
made without a stop.
Then came Canada. Canada in
winter means snow and this winter
was no exception. 1t was there in
generous quantities. Drifts that were
young mountains we're encountered
for mile after mile, but those around
London, both east and west of the
city, had something on all the rest of
it. There the shortest days run of
the trip was registered, twelve miles
in half day. This was from London
to Delaware. 1t was fight for the
car and the snow shovel brigade every
inch of the way. At London another
car was sent out from the Hupmobile
agency as pilot and track breaker
for the world tourists and it helped
some. 1t was not until within 70
miles of Detroit that the road opened
up again and chance to use high
gear was offered 1t was the last lap
and with Detroit almost in sight the
machine tore along gaily until met by
the home welcoming delegation which
had come out beyond Windsor.
Crossing the river the touring party
was given a great reception at the
pier When the party left Detroit a
little silk American flag was presented
by the mayor. This little emblem
was returned to Mayor Thompson,
who formally welcomed the tourists
back, and thanked them for the way
in which they had carried the name
of Detroit into many lands.

the middle west. According to the
crew of the world touring car the trip
from New York to Detroit was by far
the worst of the entire tour. To cover
the 730 miles it took just ten days,
ten days plugging along on low gear
most Of the way, ten days of snow
shoveling to give the car its chance to
get traction. The route lay north
along the Hudson to Albany, then
west through Syracuse, Rochester.
Utica and Buffalo and straight across
Canada Going was not bad until
Utica was reached, then the snow
drifts began to show in force. 1t took
three hours to make the 16 miles be-
tween Utica and the little town of
Vernon, then the going got better
again and Syracuse was made nicely
the same evening
West of Syracuse the snow man
had gotten in some of his best work
and sometimes the drifts entirely hid
the little car. When Auburn was
reached advice was handed out
generously not to cross the Montezuma
swamp, stretch of country that has
added many gray hairs to the heads
of touring autoists, and one that the
residents of the district positively
refuse to tackle in winter. To get
round this bad spot the Hupmobilists
took to the towpath of the Erie canal
While the snow was deep it had not
drifted and the little car ate up the
ground. But this was too good to
last, for suddenly cut of over 100
feet opened up, where repairs we're
being made and it was case of
take a chance on drifts again until
