Hunters in Oklahoma must be in

the corporation managers knowing
this, good naturedly helped us out, in
a neighborly way, furnishing us what
they called Corporation Stock, at only
$112.00 each, each of those shares rep
resenting that the holder thereof
owned the $4,000 in the s. S. O. G.
Would you have thought that any man
would have paid $1,000 premium on
corporation stock, that had never, and
in ali human probability never would
earn a dollar for the owner thereof,
strange as It may seem, that is pre-
cisely what we did in this county,.
The Corporation proposed to sell
two kinds, Of stock, one million, yot-
ing stock, and six million participa-
ton stock, the voting stock was rat
ed much higher than the participation
stock. Back - the huntEnow when
we got our stock, we organized, and
when we looked our crew over we had

SUITABLE AND PRETTY GIFTS
Few Things for Prospective Bride Are
In Better Taste Than the
Easily Made Saehets.

Are any Of your friends engaged?
II SO, why not make them some pretty
sachets for an engagement gift? They
are always appreciated and can easily
be made. Purchase a quantity of
satin ribbon two inches In width. The
shops offer many bargains in ribbons
at this season. Cut the sachets in
squares, pad them with cotton and
sprinkle with sachet powder. Then
whipstitch the edges together.
Stack 3 dozen Of these together
and tie with baby ribbon. On top
place a fiat bow ornamented with tiny
rosebuds made from ribbon An
eighth OF a yard Of half-inch ribbon
Is required for each rose and they are
formed by swirling the ribbon round
and round a center. Foliage may be
made from green silk to accompany
these roses If desired.
This is a charming gift for the
graduate. So prepare for June. which
Is not far distant.

The prince of Wales might possibly
enjoy his German trip still better If
he could view the country In the un-
conventional way followed by the
German crown prince and his broth
ers. Like all the Hohenzollerns, the
kaiser's sons we're taught trades, and
their father also allowed them to taste
the delights Of the "wanderjahr,"
which still forms part of the education
of most German artisans.
In the case of the young princes
the year was split up over several sue
cessive summer holidays, which they
spent tramping through Germany,
knapsack on back, and sleeping at
roadside inns. They travelled without
a servant, accompanied only by their
military governor, Col. Won Falken-
heyn, and were scarcely ever recog-
niZed.

FATIGUE A FOE TO BEAUTY
Woman Who Would Retain Charm
Should Avoid Allowing Herself
to Be Victim of Overwork.

Over-fatigue is a foe to beauty.
Even If there were no lasting effects
from 1t, which there are, a wearied
look in woman's face adds nothing
to her charm. Rather, 1t is as the ap-
pearance Of faded flower compared
with that of a fresh one. The muscles
and muscular tissues become grad.
ually weak and show themselves with
particular perversity In ugly rings and
bags about the eyes. in a lengthening
of the lines between the. nose and
the mouth, and a general sagging.
Fatigue, too has direct effect upon
the stomach muscles, causing them to
sag also, and become unable to work
properly, and this, In turn, reflects
upon the complexion. rendering it sal.
low and eventually blotched So,
say, avoid fatigue
