He illustrated the Great Possibilities of Debate

In the early days of Oklahoma poll
tics there was a joint political discus
sion there between a Republican and
Populfst. Both played checkers with
their past political records, the Repub-
hcan having been a 'Greenbacker' and
the Populist a Republican. After the
former had finished a scathing attack
on the vagaries of PopuIism the latter
read a 'Greenback' speech made
years before by his antagonist and
rested his case.
The evidence was conclusive and
the case looked bad for the Republi-
can, when the accused dramatically
demanded
Mr.. Populist, did you never make
a political utterance of which you
were ashamed and for which you
would apologize?'
Yes, replied the Populist with alb
solute frankness. I was living once
in dugout in southwest Kansas, dirt
for the bottom, dirt for the top and
dirt for the sides, and it was a bitter
winter. 1 had nothing but a f1imsy,
WORKOUT quilt hung in the doorway to
keep the chilling blasts of winter from

shaking, shivering and chattering, and
I raised my hands to heaven and
prayed for a high tariff on lumber -

CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
LIeutenant's Ideas as to Kindness and
Firmness Vanished Soon After the
Animal Got Busy.

There is lieutenant in an Ohio
regiment who believed that mules
were much maligned, and that If well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. In his own company wGs a
mule with a bad reputation, and the
lieutenant undertook to tame him
Il will show you how this mule
should be treated said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
OF his tent, saddled him without re-
sistance OF protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck
He needs kind but firm treatment -
said the lieutenant
Then he mounted the mule, which
walked six steps, danced three steps,
executed an original hop, step and
Jump with each leg, and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bush.
Catch the brute and kill him.
said the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him to his tent. The
men caught the mule, but did not kill
him He was just as good as any other
mule.

coat is lifted and this new oriental

and no one knows that better than the
women who are trying to make it
Of course, We have long since learn
ed the art of wearing one color from

waists in summer, as our desires and

it seems that the coat must be retain

After all, it might be better for WON

the waist line of those skirts which
are worn with coats and white shirt
waists. There are many ways to do

she will find it admirable for informal

Of embroidered muslin or cIuny lace,
which has round crown to fit the
head, a tiny ruffie to hang over the
