For Short Women

The popular striped materials will
be welcomed by short women. The
appearance is greatly heightened by
fine stripes running lengthwise.
Little toques that have upturned
brims at the front and soft crowns
Of silk that are quite high are now Of
fered by thoughtful milliners to little
women.
The low, broad brimmed hat must
be admired, but refused.
Girdles on frocks can be as narrow
as a cord if you wish. and are of a
convenient width on dresses to pre-
serve any long lines that you possess
The high line at the waist gives
added length from the waist line to
the ground.
OF varied shapes and of all lengths,
these features lend grace, dignity and
height to the wearers. The short
length little girl" frocks have had
their day.
Heels are not the French type. but
they are decidedly high. On slippers
and shoes they are immense helps to
the woman who would look tall.
Long revers on coats and wraps are
also kind to short women. These may
be OF silk or lace or OF regular suit
material, but they increase the line
from shoulders to waistline and belI
wonderfully In the effect.

Pleasant Hour on River Bed.

Pikeville, Ky.-After lying at the
bottom of the Big Sandy river for an
hour, Gerald Lockhart, 12, was fished
out. He was apparently dead, but
friends insisted on an effort being
made to resuscitate him. After an
hour the boy was revived.
Gerald told physicians and others
who had resuscitated him that they
had interrupted the most pleasant
time he had ever experienced He
claimed he was in the midst Of
grand musical concert. that circuses
and every imaginable form OF amuse;
ment peopled his happy dream at the
bottom of the river, and wanted to
know why he could not be left alone
to enjoy them.
Gerald fell from the stern OF a
small boat as he was crossing the
river, He could swim, but he said
cramps overlook him In the cold
water.

AFRICAN COLONY FOR NEGROES
Movement to Sail to "Gold Coast" 10
Launched In Oklahoma by
One Of Race.


Oklahoma City, okla-on a good
ship built by funds received from a
few hundred stockholders, number
Of negro families of Oklahoma ex-
,pect within short time to embark
on journey to the land OF their
forefathers on the Gold Coast" OF
Africa.
Such is the contemplated result of
movement started by Alfred G.
Sans, negro, who says he lives
In South Dakota, and who says he
represents corporation chartered in
thta State for carrying out his plans.
Each negro person is offered stock
in the company for $25 share, and
this amount covers the expenses of
himself and family, if he has fami'
ly, in their removal to Africa aboard
the company ship.
Sans has been travelling over East
ern Oklahoma for two or three weeks
Offering his stock for sale, and he is
said to have disposed of about $4,000
in the State. His best work seems
to have been done in Seminole
county and some other sections of
the former Creek Nation.
A majority of the negroes ap-
preached believe in the feasibility of
the scheme. Those who are eager to
leave Oklahoma and to go to Africa
are enthusiastic over the prospects
Nf tho r,1o 1f t,,r-
ing. And the number that want to
go to Africa Is startlingly large, ac-
cording to those who recently have
travelled through the Seminole coun-
try.
Changes in recent years in the
forms of Government under which
these people were reared, in old In
dian Territory, political discrimina-
tion, the enacting of laws that dis
franchise the negro and segregate
him from the whites in public, in
schools, in railway stations and other
places, are given as causes for negro
unrest in Oklahoma
United States Senator T. P. Gore
was the author, few years ago, of
a document that advocated the re-
moval of negroes to Africa, The
document appeared to be humanitar-
ian rather than political and it was
warmly received by many negroes of
Oklahoma. Since then several move
ments, more or less elaborate, have
been started, but none accomplished
anything practical. Hence "Chief"
Sans found willing ears and many
open purses when he put his new
scheme before his people in Okla
homa
One of these movements was put
under way shortly after the Crazy
Snake rebellion in 1909, when unrest
and disquietude had reached the
highest mark among negroes and
mixed bloods in the land of Chitti
Harjo. The invasion of that country
by regiment of the Oklahoma Ma
tional Guard re-established peace
and seems to have permanently de
tered the doughty old Creek leader
from again taking up arms against
the Government.

THE STORY OF FIRING
ON UNITED STATES SHIP.

London, Nov. lS.-A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph from Athens says
"A launch from the United States
cruiser Tennessee which was entering
the Gulf of Smyrna to arrange for the
cruiser to come into Smyrna harbor
was fired upon by the forts and COM
PEELED to return to the Tennessee.
The commander of the Tennessee,
Capt. b. {. Decker, informed the Vail
that he had orders from his govern
meut TO enter the harbor of Smyrna
and had decided to do So
Ii is believed here that, since Capt.
Decker has general orders from the
Washington government to protect
Americans in Turkey he must have
heard OF impending perils for his coun-
trymen in smyrna, or, perhaps of ac-
tul outrages already committed.
There are numerous American mis-
sions in this district on the Turco-
Asiatic Coz st, with Smyrna as the cen
ter, and it is possible that some of
these have been mobbed by Mohamme-
dan zealots.
Some diplomats here predict serious
complications with the United States,
while they believe the firing on the
launch was an unfortunate mistake on
the part of the Turks, for which am
pie apologies will be forthcoming.

tween the two places, where it was
Inferred,
James X. Rice was "a very prominent
character in Lawrence county and in
its history. There are but few men of
middle or mature age in the county
who do not know him personally or by
reputation. His name was a synonym
OF honesty and hospitality While II
was not until few years ago that he
became landed proprietor he was, in
the Vernacular of the section, right
liver" that is, he always had plenty
and dispensed his hospitality with a
generous hand. He was genial and
kindly in manner, liked by everybody
who enjoyed his acquaintance,
Uncle Jim" was a consistent South
ern Methodist, sober and industrious,
a man OF Intelligence, good husband
and father, upright citizen and good
neighbor His memory will long be
cherished.
