What made the Quaker face? Not a oroad

for yourself at the next masquerade. In part, II
was the mysticism, the reserve and the self-re'
lance of the Quaker mind These things were
the very essence of the society, and they led 10
a subconscious command to be silent, to be calm
to hide the emotions of the too often rebellious
heart, which in turn helped to mold the faces one
sees in the portraits and among the Friends still
left who belong to the old rule
1t used to be said in our Quaker town that one
could tell by their manners the children who had
been sent to the Friends school, because once a
week in meeting they had to sit for an hour In
perfect quiet. Think of family, of a community,
where the heart put under discipline for life!
But this is not all, for have left out the causes

BIG AUDIENCE ON
SATURDAY NIGHT
Even on Saturday Night the Grand is
Filled to overflow-one Of the
Best Bills offered Tonight.

1t is proof positive of the favor in
which the Harrison Stock company is
held by the theatre goers of Vinita
when on Saturday night the audience
was so large that even the entire
standing room was taken and many
hadNto be turned away. This was the
case Saturday night, when this splen-
did company presented the four-act
western comedy drama, June, The
Gambler This was another of Mr..
Charles Harrison's own plays and like
the others was better than any sim
liar play ever produced in this city.
Unlike many of the plays drawn from
the picturesque life of the western min
ing camp, this one had all of the nat
nralness to make it real and appreciate
ed by the audience, mostly of western
people. Again Mr. Harrison, not only
showed his ability to portray the real
life in the mining regions, but demon
strated his ability to play the role of
a hardy, honest man of the mountains.
No action that has ever been seen in
Vinita, who carries this kind of
part better than does Mr. Harrison.
His work is natural and not of the
overdrawn, bravado type usually seen
in popular priced shows. The work
of Gertrude Harrison, in the title role
was without flaw Her part was that
of girl born in a mining camp; the
daughter of gambler whose death
left her to earn her own livlihood. by
the only means she knew-gambling
Other characters worthy of mention
were the "Parson" portrayed by Bert
Hedden; Winters, the gambler, by Guy
3. Mcdonald; the work of Miss
as Iren Watson, the White Lily"
and that of Mr.. Taylor, as Big Foot,

This company will remain in Vinita
another week, opening the second
week of their engagement tonight with
Mr. Harrisons four-act society comedy
drama, The Love of Thief This
is a story of every day life that will
touch the hearts of all who see ii. The
comedy is rich and wholesome. Don't
fail to see it.

WESTERN UNION TO
PENSION EMPLOYEES

The president Of the Western Union
Telegraph company has announced
the following order:
a pension plan for the benefit Of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany's 10000 employees was announc-
ed today BY President Theor N. Vail.
President Vail said
A pension committee has been com
piling statistics and analyzing exist
ing pension plans for many months.
While the plan which we are inaugur-
ating does not go as far as we would
like to have it. still it is beginning
aud We believe will materially assist
in caring for those employees, qualified
through length of service who, be-
cause OF ncapacity or disability are
compelled to discontinue active work.
The solution Of the problem has not
been an easy one in view of the large
number OF employees, their widely di-
versified occupations, and the large
territory over which the system ex-
tends, together with the heavy ex-
pense to the company incident to the
inauguration Of the pension
However, ii is my firm belief that
all employees, identified by years of
faithful service are entitled to some
financial protection against the neces-
sity of retirement, and it is the hope
of the company that this beginning
will extend TO a further protection Of
employees. Meanwhile, the inaugural
tion Of a pension plan marks an ex-
preston of appreciation on the part
of the company of the loyal and eff
oient service rendered by its employees.
The plan in detail is as follows.
"Aftdr 20 years of service and up to
and including the 25th year Of such
service per cent Of the average salary
for the ten years Immediately preced-
ing retirement multiplied by the total
years of service.
After 25 years of service, and up to
and including the 35th of such service,
1s additional for each additional year
After 35 years of service and up to
and including the 4Oth year of such
service ? per cent additional for each
additional year After 40 years of
service so per cent
The minimum pensio nallowed to be
s250O per month, except when other
wise directed.
No pension under this plan to ex-
ceed $4,000 per month
(Signed) II. BROOKS. Genl. Mgr

.or T. NJ. Reynolds, fonner cashier of
the Bank of Alton, who in August of
1908 abseonded according to reports,
$4,000 short in his accounts at the
bank It is reported here that Rey-
nolds is under arrest at Winnipeg,
Canada Requisition papers will be
secured from both state and nation
effecting his return.
When Reynolds left here every eff
fort was made to cover up the fact
that he secured any of the banks S
funds, but common reports and ru-
mors We're to the effect that he took
along $4,000 belonging to the banks
depositors. 1t also was reported that
he swindled other parties before leav-
ing, these transactions being kept
from the records of the bank.
The bank was saved from failure
after his disappearance by the state

ing the first to come up after the
banking law went into effect It was
reorganized soon after and still is in

A few years ago such things were re-

where no one ever saw them. Now
they are cherished and exhibited with
pride, their perfect stitches examined
and their coloring raved over. One
finds them hung on walls and used as
table covers, but perhaps the best dis
position to make of them is to place
them under glass In the bottom Of a
tea tray, for here the treasure is safe
from harm, though in constant use.

Population by Race.

The population of the world by race
is: Indo-Germanic (white). 55O,O00,-
900; Mongolian yellow and brown,

600; Negro (black), 10000, 900; Ma

dian (red). $4,000, 900. This latter va
riety includes every variety of the
red man in all parts of the earth, the
actual number Of Indians in North
America being much less than mil
lion. The white race is increasing
much faster than the others. owing.
probably. to its superior intelligence
and scientific knowledge of medicine
and sanitation.

Two other republican senators whom
the democrats hope TO supplant are
Dixon, of Montana, and Richardson,

republican factions in Idaho makes
that state interesting ground. The in
dications are that Senator Borah will
have no opposition for the republican
nomination, but the activity of the
democrats and their success in elect

pear that a democratic successor to
Mr.. Borah is among the possibilities.
New Jersey, which viii choose a sue

ground.
Following the establishment of a

Hol keeper of the gate of spring,
Bestir you from your slothful dreams!
The southland wind is whispering
OF singing sap and rushing streams
OF upwardstretching roots that wake
culver in the mellowed sod
OF misty mosses in the brake
And tiny, tasseled caps a-nod.
With silver piping clear and shrill,
The hyla calls from marshes low,
At twilight, for the daffodil
To set her yellow lamps aglow;
In. copses cozy-soft and deep,
Beneath the lichen's rusty thatch
thousand restless plants a-peep,
Are yearning for the lifted latch.
Gay troops, importunate and bold
From woodland camps are marching on
In uniform of green-and-gold,
With pomp of plume and gonfaon
Goodkeeper, shake the rain and seet
From shaggy beard and grizzled pate;
Let Nature and her coftege sweet
Rush fragrantly through Aprls gate
And know that something sweeter yet
Is lying at the heart of spring
Than hyancinth or violet
Than birth of bloom or bird awning
charm that may not be complete
Until the bud-time of the year;
Hoi keeper speed your tagging feet
My love and are waiting here!
