lie longed to get into a row:
lie boasted and clustered by day and by
night.
He wished to gain glory somehow.
When he found big boy who was ragged
and thin
And sickly and awkward and meek
With a wild walop Willie the silly sailed
In
And gave him slap on the cheek.
Then Willie the silly half bursting with
pride
Went onward still looking for gore
Like the beast that has tasted OF blood,
Willie sighed
For a chance to be fighting some more;
lie found a small boy who was full OF
dismay.
A wa!f who was scared half to DEATH
And Willie the silly went smashing away.
Depriving the other of breath.
So Willie the silly forgot to be coy
And he stepped upon smaller boys toes:
He ina agined that he was the cleverest
boy
That ever had battered a nose;
But II happened one day as he strutted
along
That boy with strong muscles was
Now Willie the silly thinks fighting is
wrong
And his nose has scab on It yet.

It's important TO win, but II we're to hold

There's thing that Is better than pride
or than gold,
And that is to know when to stop.

WAS DISMISSED
STATE UNABLE TO PROVE THAT
ChlLD'S DEATH WAS DUE TO
LACK OF MEDICAL AID.

McAlester Okla, Dec. 1O.-Willian
Click, blessed of the apostolic gift OF
tongue according TO the creed of the
Holy Rollers, is not responsible for
the death of his son, James Click
while he was holding a meeting in
North MCAlester, June 4, last. At least
the state was not able to prove that
the lad would have recovered from an
attack of the measles had he been
given medical attention and a charge
OF mansaughter against Click was dis
missed Tuesday on motion of County
Attorney Robert Tarter.
The case which was called for trial
in the superior court came up on the
question of whether the state would be
required to prove beyond reasonable
doubt that the boys death was di-
rectly traceable to the negligence of
the father Counsel for the defense be-
gan the examination of jurors by ask
ing questions indicating that the de-
fenses would require such proof from
the state Whereupon County Attor

RESERVE FUNDS

STATE BANKERS IN SESSION Be
LlEVE THIS WOULD AID GUAR.
ANTY,

Oklahoma City. Dec. l0.-That the
State banks should contine their re-
serve fund deposits to state banks
instead of placing that money in the
national banks, was advocated by A.
+. Stephenson, president of the Cen
tral State Bank of Enid before the an
nual meeting of the State Bankers As
soCiation of Oklahoma He said if this
plan were followed, ii would create a
support for the bank guaranty fund,
which now has nearly $7O0OOO deficit,
and such policy would be less strain
upon the individual bank. The reserve
state banks would be developed to
such point they could give smaller
state banks better accommodations,
he said, than is now given by their
national correspondents.

Stephenson, revealed that in Noyem-
Der, 1912, Oklahoma State banks had
on deposit with National bank $jG-
100000, over $G,OOO,oO OF winch wits
in national banks in the tate Of OnIa-
homa, the remainder being in o:Aar
states. The state banks on the sane"
date had on deposit with state banks
the modest sum of $2,7OO,0oO
We have been building the nationals
at the expense of the guaranty fund,
and they are not fair with us | am
not antagonistic to national banks, but
if they want $6,OOO,OOO of our money,
they ought to give us $6000,OOO of
theirs. We are as good as they are"
