HAD A SPEECH EMPLOYMENT
Demcsthenes the Orator Trained Him. self to Speak by Carrying Peb-
 bles in His Mouth.

Demosthenes was great orator. For many years he suffered from an impediment in his speech. even before the wine course had been served at dinner
 So he trained himself to speak by carrying pebbles in his mouth
 Many of our public speakers might adopt this method If they had a derrick and one or two pieces of chiprock rolling around over their molars they would not talk so long.
 Demostheues did not attain much fame as a speaker until he hit on the happy thought of whaeking the table with bis fist and announcing in bold tones that two and two made four, that the sun rose in the east, that the old flag foated above us. and that hon. esty was the best policy.
 From that day forth his fame was made.
 When he would arise calmly smooth down his toga over his bay window, Postmaster and Gentlemen: l did not expect to be called upon to speak when I came here tonight, and in con sequence am absolutely unprepared to address so brilliant an audience but there are one or two thoughts which have occurred to me while listening to the talented orators who have spoken, and with your indulgence | will" etc, the audience settled back in it's seats and prepared to enjoy it self
 Demosthenes never told the story about the man who ate hoyseradish for the first time. He could listen with out impatience while some one talk ed two hours to make ten minute speech.

UNION COUNTY VOTE.
Helms, Murphy, Tatum, Craig, Yoou7, Harris
 and Armstrong Win Nominations.

The Democratic primaryWednes day passed off quietly, but the largest vote was recorded in the history of the county. We give be- low the unofficial vote of the entire county and also the vote of the Huttig box.
 Kirby for senator, Warnock for congress, Hodges for secretary of state, Mccain for auditor, Cook for superintendent of public instruc- tion, Mcknight for railroad con- missioner and Stevens for chan cellor all carried the county by good majorities.
 The following were the success ful candidates for the nomination for county offices: Helms for rep resentative, Murphy for circuit clerk, Tatum for county clerk, Craig for treasurer, Yocum for county Judge, Harris for tax as- sessor and Armstrong for surveyor.
 Both sides are claiming victory in tae senatorial race between Clarke and Kirby and it will proba- bly, be several days before the re- suit is known for certain.
 Both Goodwin and Warnock are claiming the nomination for con gross, with the outlook in favor of Goodwin.
 The indications are that J. Y. Stevens has defeated Judge J. M. Barker for chancellor by safe ma jofity in the district.
 The vote for county clerk is so close that the official count may change the result enough to let Goodwin or Graf! in.
 Following is the unofficial vote of the county and the vote of the Huttig box:

ACCUSED

WOMAN is CLEARED BY
INSANITY PLEA; KILLED
HER HUSBAND

Oakland, Cal, April Airs Miilie
ls4-sSn. on trial charged with the
murder Of her husband. was acquitted
bv a Jury today on the ground that
She was insane at the time the crime
was committed,
Archer c. Drown, son of the late
Judge A. y. Drown, was shot and
killed in his home the night OF Octo-
her "a, 1913. His body was found
twenty four hours later and Mrs
Drown was arrested 1t was alles-
ed by the police that Mrs. Drown
had confessed to relatives that she
shot her husband as he slept Later,
the testimony showed, she visited
Mrs. Marie Millar, whom she sus :
pected OF having alienated her hus-
bands affections. and attempted to
xiii her. She snapped an unloaded
revolver at her supposed rival several
times
The crime aroused unusual psyche
logical interest because OF the con-
duet OF the woman in the hours pre-
ceding the finding of the body Of her
victim. san Francisco's uortola fes-
tival was in progress at the time, and
according to the testimony of wit
nesses. Mrs. Drown, who had fled 70
that city, entered into the festivities
with apparently hearty enjoyment.
In his closing argument to the jury
thed istrict attorney declared that it
has become virtually impossible to
convict a woman Of crime.
"If you bring in verdict of less
than second degree murder he said.
this woman will receive $4,000 in
life insurance and 500 a month TO
live on. II she is not convicted wom

CROPS IN
SPLENDID
CONDITION:
OF AGRICULTURE
REPORTS BRIGHT OUT.
LOOK; ACREAGE BIG

oklahoma City, OKLA, April 2.-Ac-
cordng to the crop report given out
today by the board of agriculture,
based upon a very careful and
thorough survey of the whole state,
the indications are good for a big
crop. They were never better since
Oklahoma was settled. The wheat
fields especially have never been
richer in promise than now. Some
slight infestation has been reported
but not enough to cause the depart
ment to view the situation with
alarm
The figures show that on March 25
this year, the growing condition of
wheat was SS per cent; oats SO per
cent; alfalfa 92 per cent.
Commenting on the report, Secre-
tary Ben IIennessey said. Had
Oklahoma not received cold wave
during the last of January there
would have been cause for apprehen-
sion, but the multitude of insects
hatched out during the warm wea
ther of the early days Of the year
were destroyed by this freeze, and 1t
was great advantage to the farmer
that the warm days of mid winter
Matched the eggs of the insects.
The general average of fruit con-
dton is better than usual, and shows
apples 49, pears 20, plums 60, cher
rios Is, peaches IS, small fruits 50.
The percentage of peaches is par
tcularly good, as it is compared with
a standard of full capacity blossoms,
which in this state reaches an ex-
travaeance that the tree could not
support. in view of the fact that the
most successful fruit men in the state
say that if one blossom out of four
is saved it indicates a full crop, or
