When the heat becomes intense
How she tans!
And her shoes are more immense
Than a mans.
And her arm is like a stick
Not so stout;
She is freckled quite as thick
AS a trout.
To the tennis court she goes
Sans a hat;
There are blisters on her nose-
Think of that!

SPAIN SEEKS LOST PAINTING,
Alfonso Directs Search in America fol
Picture Stolen From Church.

NlIOHSO |iIVCIS SSGICU IN SIlCFISa TOT
Picture Stolen From Church.
New York Sun: A famous painting
on wood of the buriel of Christ and of
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,
said to be worth $250,000, is being
sought in this country by agents Of
the Spanish government. King Alton
so has taken a personal interest in the
recovery Of the picture, and is paying
the expenses Of the search. He has
offered a reward of $4,000 out of his
private purse.
The planting, which is in the form
of a triptych, was stolen from the al
tar of a church in NIGERIA, province of
Castillo, where it had been since 1880.
The artist is unknown. Experts say
it is one of the finest examples of the
fourteenth century work in existence.
While the value of $4,000 has been
placed upon it, F. Javier Saals, the
Spanish consul in this city, said that
it Is priceless.
Although the trtptych was missed
on Christmas eve, nothing was said
about it, the government agents pre-
ferring to keep the loss a secret. 1t
was only recently, when it was believ-
ed the picture had been sent to this
country, that the United States GUS
toms authorities were asked to help.
Photographs Of the picture have been
distributed to every port and a par
ticularly close search will be made of
the baggage Of all passengers arriving
at Boston within the next few days.
The Spanish consul believes that
the anne band of American picture
thieves, members of which were i'm
prisoned several years ago for robbing
churches in Spain, know the where

BOUGHT HORSE BY PIECES.

Missouri Campfire Girls Found a Way
to Get a Water Carrier. .
st. Lewis Republic: Wegotim is. the
name of a gentle horse that was
bought on the anatomical plan by the
Atlasta camp of the Y. w. c. A, for
girls under 10 years old at Valley
Park, Mo. He was bought literally
piece by piece-his body for 50, head
for IS, each leg for SIS and the tail
for 81. In this way interested benefac-
tors helped to buy Wegotim, so that
the camp girls could be relieved Of the
burden of carrying their suitcases and
so that the camp could have ice
brought to it daily. -,
How 1t all happened is told by Miss
Gertrude L.. Prack, the girls work
secretary Of the Y. w. c. A.: /
las the rates at Atlasta are exceed
ingly nominal, the girls do most of
their w share Of the work. Soon af-
ter opening the camp We saw that we
would need a horse. 1t was no fun for
three-quarters of a mile. The ice man
announced he would no longer haul
ice, because Atlasta was his only
customer in that section, and he melted
a days supply. by going out there.
AL III available money for Atlasta
it seemed was gone, but the Hearth
Fire Girls always find a way out of d
difficulty. They divided the horse into
pieces from head to tail, and saw to it
that each piece was purchased by some
interested person.
sIn this way we managed to get $35
to buy the horse"

IN THE WEB OF STARS.

For this one night
MY spirit has turned honeymoon,
And has made of the stars
It's flowers.
So all uncountable are the stars
That heaven shimmers as a web,
Bursting with light
From beyond,
A light exquisite,
Immeasurable!
For this one night
My spirit has dared, and been
caught
In the web Of the stars.
Though your beauty were a ent
Of unimagined power,
It could not hold me tonight;
For I am all spirit.

San Francisco, Jan. S.-Rudolph
Spreckles must pay to the Panama
Pacific International Exposition his
full subscription of $4,000 on which
he defaulted. This was the decision
Thursday of Superior Judge Sewell
in an opinion regarded as of great
importance by the exposition because
presumably it will control many
other cases. Spreckles raid the ex-
position $500 in March, 1911, and
demanded possession of all stock
for which he had subscribed. The
directors refused until he should
have paid in full Judge Seawell
held that the payment implied a
waiver Of all the reasons Spreckles
afterward alleged for non-payment
of the remainder of his subscrip-
tion.

SUBCOMMITTEE
F0RRETRENCHMENT
FAVORS CONSOLIDATION OF IN.
NDlAN BUREAUS AND RE-OR-
GANlZATlON AS ONE.

Washington, Jan. S.-The Indian
house committee consisting of Rep
resentatives Carter, stephens auo
Burke, agreed Thursday to report ia :
vorably the house committee Indian
affairs amendment, proposed by Rep
resentatiye Charles d. Carter of
Oklahoma, which seeks consolida-
tion of the Indian bureaus in eastern
Oklahoma. The vote was two to
one Burke dissenting.
The amendment provides for the
adjustment Of the Five Civilized
Tribes and the superintendent of
the uniCn agency, creating in lieu
thereof the office of commissioner
of Indian affairs The incumbent
is to be appointed by the presi-
dent, by and with the consent of
the senate, and is to keep his office
in Oklahoma, tr4nsacting the func-
tions of the two offices abolished.
If the amendment rasses and be-
comes law, and all things look fa-
yorable, it will offer opportunity for
the complete reorganization of theI
Indian bureau and of placing new
blood in that organization.
Catter and Stevens think they
can convince the committee of the
necessity for its approval and get
favorable report Mr. Carter claims
that consolidation of the Muskogee
Indian offices is retrenchment.

that he can maintain his own gov
eminent. The Indian occupies prom
inent places in the professions as
do the white men, he holds respOn-
sibe business positions and has
demonstrated that he is capable of
coping with the white man. Ine
white man is judged by those who
have forged to the front, thef
achievements are the achievements
of the race but the Indian is judg.
ed by the few who waste their sub
stance and which the law contem-
plates must be protected In the ex-
penditures of his money.
With ears to the ground we shall
listen for the coming thunders Of
opposition to the proposed change.
Opposition of the most stubborn and
relentless kind will come from the
two sources mentioned above. Every
effort will be made to discredit Con-
gresham Carter and the Oklahoma
delegation. The fight made upon
Carter will intensity our respect FOR
him. He has been measured in the
national congress since statehood
and has not been found wanting.
In his efforts to strike from Okla
homa the shackles that have bound
it to inertia and consequent stagna-
tion he will have the warmest and
the most effective support or the
people of his district who have learn
ed to love and TO trust him

WILSON GETS
POST OFFICE
ARDMORE BOY APPOINTED YES
TERDAY TO FILL THAT POSI-
TlON AT THE NEW TOWN.

Wilson Okla, Jan. 9,-Lawrence
l.. Dunlap has been appointed post
master at the new town Of Wilson
and will soon be handling the mail
for the Wilson people in a new
postoffice During this winter while
the reads have been so bad the citi-
2ens have had to do without their
mail much of the time and when
the new postoffice is opened and
the Ringing road begins to handle
the mail the convenience will be
great one to the people of this new
city.
Lawrence Dunlap was reared in
Ardmore. He has the pluck that
has already won success on a small
scale and which presages what his
success will be. He is very
young man but he took advantage
of the opportunity offered by the
building Of the Ringling road to-
supply the workmen with their ne
cessities and he followed the builh-
ing of the road with a store. He
followed them on to Wilson and
built store there and will now
place in that store the new post
office which will not only place him
in close contact with every citizen
of the town and community but
which will make him a very neat
salary of itself.
The new postmaster is a brother
Of Errett Dunlap of Ardmore.

The above is an exact copy Of g
very important amendment proposed
by Congressman Charles ID. Garter
to the Indian appropriation bill
which has just been reported ia
vorably by the subcommittee. II
provides for a consolidation of the
two Indian bureaus in eastern Ok
lahcma by abolshing the office OF
commissioner to the Five Civilized
Tribes and also by abolishing the
office Of superintendent Of the I'm
ion Agency and creating in lieu
OF these two offices the office Of as
sistant commissioner Of Indian af-
fairs. This office Of assistant cCm-
missioner will be exclusively for
eastern Oklahoma, the appointee
shall have an office IN this state and
shall be paid a salary of $4,000 per
year. His appointment is to be
made by the president with the con-
firmation of the United States SEN
ate and shall discharge the duties
and functions now required in the
two offices which the amendment
seeks to abolish. The amendment
has been approved by the sub-com-
mittee and has promise of being
adopted by congress and of becom-
ing a law. 1t will result in the re-
organization of the Indian bureau
in eastern Oklahoma it will replace
these who have held the offices so
long without being able to wind up
the affairs of the tribes and will
put new democratic blood into the
organization.
The amendment has for its pur-
pose the adjustment Of the office
