BOUND TO LOVE EACH OTHER
Probably Third Woman Was Right,
but the Other Two Must Have
Felt Somewhat Uncomfortable.

There was n great crowd at the pic
ture exhibition, and empty seats were
at a premium, when two pretty women
spied and made for a place at the
self-same moment. They reached the
prize together, both pretending ig-
norance of the other, and, hopping
themselves down, succeeded In squeez-
Ing breathlessly and miserably in.
There they sat then, each scowlinE
and staring at the Fudeness OF her re-
sDective neighbor, each wriggllng and
squirming as much as possible in or
der to crowd that neighbor still
further. Finally the situation became
acute and one Of the women spoke
with fine. sarcasm: 81 beg your par
don, but do you need the whole
seat?"
Il beg yours" the answer came,
but I never talk to strangers
Just then a third pretty woman
passed, stopped and addressed the
two at once: why, to think of find
ing you two here togetherl And l
have always wanted to introduce you,
because just know you will just love
each other. Mabel, this is Maud, and
Maud, this is my dear old Mabel. You
are bound to love each other, because
you are so exactly alike in dlaposi-

NEED FOR AUCTIONEER
GOOD MEN ALWAYS IN DEMAND
IN THAT LINE.
Needed Qualifications Are Many. but
the Profession I6 One We'll
Worth Following.

The successful auctioneer must have
many qualifications.
TO right any wrong opinion, IL one
might exist. regarding auctioneers. |
Will give briet synopsis OF my opin.
Ion, same being founded upon many
years Of past experience and from q
very careful study and close observa-
ton during that time. The auction bus.
mess no doubt has been greatly
abused, as have other professions by
the unfair, dlshonorable. and unlawful
methods adopted by some so-called
auctioneers.
The auction business is a profession
and the qualifications necessary are
indeed numerous. To become success
ful, person must be a good Judge OF
values, also be able to give an inteili-
gent and elaborate description of the
thousands and Thousands Of different
articles. Good AuctioneerS are born,
not made; person can learn to be a
doctor. lawyer, or minister, but there
never were such advantages where q
person could 20 and learn TO be an
auctionser
Then, furthermore, It 10 the only
profession wherein a person can dis
play whatever ability he may possess

There Is not anything by which he
may refer to for reference and every
thought Is extHmporansous and he
must guide himself accordingly.
Many fortunes have been made by
some suctioneers, yet we have st the
present time only handful OF thor
oughly qualified auctionssrS In and
throughout the United States. Looking
backward since the time of slavery
when the negro was sold to the high.
est bidder, We find many auctioneers
who were not only successful. but IN
telligent and qualified. The auction

snecialties, namely. live stock, high

rare paintings. jewelry, real estate. au-
tomobiles, and books Men who spe-
cialiGe On the above, that is making
any one OF them a speciality, must be
qualified and are generally successful.
Then we have men who make no spe-
cialty, but follow the line of general
auctioneering. those men sell furniture
and other second handed articles of
lesser value, and the qualifications nee
essary in those lines are greatly lin
tied.
In foreign countries the most valu-
able jewels or rare paintings OF some
of the greatest celebrities are sold un-
der the hammer, and those sales like
many others, are attended by the very
best of people
II IS not only very interesting and
to attend some auction sales.

been slaughtered and where some de

MAKING SOMETHING OF LIFE
Real joy Comes From Creating,
Though the Object May Not Be
Of Great Significance.

While every man who makes a lIv-
Ing is not a genius, yet the real Joy OF
creating can belong to each Of us in
Just as real and true a way. II We
put into farming. or banking, or our
school work. the sense OF making
something, We get the great pleasure
out OF 1t. When we fill any task with
ourselves. we make something. A girl
says, Il made the room tidy" which
simply means she put something OF
herself into the disorderly room, and
80 beautifed It. After she had made
IL tidy. It reflected something OF her
self: It looked some idea OF order such
as she had in her own mind. A boy
says, Il made . good recitation in
school yesterday" and he 10 right, for.
although the lesson WAS already there.
IT had to wait for him to come along
and make It a recitation.
So 1t is everywhere. Making any
thing means. no matter how simple
the task, that We bring out something
that did not exist before; and that
that something is to some degree like
the maker OF It. We get out what we
put IN. II anyone wants to be miser-
able. the surest way Is just to do
things without putting his whole heart
and self into them. Think more OF the
mere outside OF the tasks, and they
are not worth doing. But once put
yourself into them, and all is changed.

Books Bound In Bat skin.

1t appears that a new use has been
found for the skin of the common
brown rat. In England, it is said, the
bookbinders have taken to using these
skins for covers of fine editions hither-
to bound in high grade feathers. 1t is
reported that a trade amounting to
one-quarter million dollars year has
developed in Great Britain and that
many skins are imported from Calcut-
ia. Rat skins have long been used for
purses, gloves and similar small ar
ticles, and are proving very useful for
these purposes

Telling the Bees.

The custom of telling the bees' ia
often referred to by those interested
In curious happenings. In some parts
of England 1t has always been the
habit to inform the bees whenever
there Is death in the family, particu.
larly when 1t is that Of the master or

Some one raps upon the board sup

old servants are fond OF telling how

thinks TO give them the sad message.

STATE SENATE
MAY NOT ADJOURN
UNTIL NEXT WEEK
May Not Confirm Their Appointments
on Board of Education-cruee
May Win Legal Point.

Oklahoma City Dec. 6.-The utter
inability of the legal investigation
committee appointed by the senate IN
executive session Thursday to agree
on the question of whether or not Gov
ernor Cruce had the right to dismiss
appointees prior to their confirmation
by the senate led to lengthy argu.
ments of legal nature in the Friday
executive session the debate ending
with the committee being dissolved
The board of education controversy
is thus thrown back 70 the senate az
large, and some decisive action may
be looked for Saturday unless the SEN
ate decides not to hurry things and
holds on for several days next week.
Friday night it looked as il the sen
ate could not adjourn Saturday as a
majority of senators had hoped to-.
do; and that it might continue on
even later than the middle of next
week.
Governor Cruce will send UP more
appointments Saturday to be con
Iiirmed and under the rules, the ap
pointments lie on the table twenty
four hours before being taken up for
consideration which would mean that
the senate could not adjourn before
Monday next.
1t might appear that the failure
of the legal committee to reach any
decision in the board of education
controversy" said q democratic lead
er in the senate Friday night would
have tendency to further confuse
the situation. But such is not the,
case. It means more-that the mem
bers of the committee have divided.
just as the senate at large will di-
vide on the question and indicates.
in reality a clearing away of doubts.
The senate is through discussing law
and about ready to vote"
The personality of appointees ON
the board of education, as sub
mitted by the governor has not yet
been discussed by the senate officially
but the last twenty-four hours has oc-
casicned much private talk among the
senators. It appears now that Gov
ernor Cruce will win on the question
of his right to dismiss, but that he
may lose one or two of the men he

Resolution Extending
Appropriation Again
Adopted By House

On the first of August the House for
the second time adopted a resolution
extending the 1912 appropriation for
two weeks. Since that time little
progress has been made on the big
supply measures and extraordinary
action was again necessary today.
The resolution adopted by the House
without a dissenting vote was as fol-
lows
"Resolved by the Senate and House
Of Representatives, That the provis-
ions of the joint resolution entitled
Joint resolution extending appropri-
ations for the necessary operation Of
the Government in certain conting-
encies,' approved July 1. 1912. be and
the same are hereby extended and
isis." "'0f's 'ne i"'' nA'i o'A'su''
The adoption Of this resolution in
the Senate will enable the thousands
OF Government clerks in Washington,
Government officials, and officers and
men of the army and navy to obtain
their salaries for the last two weeks
In August in the manner prescribed

No June Pay For Soldiers.
The resolution. however, does not pro.
vide the June pay of the enlisted men
Of the army who are still without coni-
pensation for that month. The amount
necessary for the June pay Of these
men Is carried In the general deficiency
bill which Is still pending. The general
deficiency bill did not pass the House
until August 8, and Congressman Mann
and Cannon today assailed the Demo
cratic side for failing to pass this ball
at an earlier date,

the army for 1912 would have been un-

House had acted expeditiously ona al
appropriation measures and that con-
tinuing appropriations such as was au,
thorized today could have been avoided
If the Senate had acted with equa
promptness. Democrats and Republi
cans debated for nearly an hour the
responsibility for the delay in passing
the supply measures and the Demo
Gratis attacked President Taft for hi
veto of the army bill and prospectiv,
veto of the legislative, executive ant
