WHAT THEY ARE DOING IN SOCIETY

The Cry of the Dreamer.
I am tired Of planning and toiling
In the crowded hive Of men;
Heart weary of building and spelling,
And spelling and building again,
And 1 long for the dear old river
Where l dreamed my youth away
For a dreamer liver forever
And a toiler dies in a day.
l am sick. of the SNOWY meaning
OF a life that is half a lie,
or the faces lined with scheming
In Il throng that hurries by,
From the Slecpless thoughts endeay.
or

play
For a dreamer lives forever,
And Il toilcr dies in a day.
feel no pride but pity
For the burdens the rich endure.
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives for the poor.
Oh. the little hands too skillful,
And the child mind choked with
weeds.
The daughters heart grows willful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
No, no; from the streets rude hustle
From trophies Of mart and stage,
would fly to the woods low rustic
And tho meadows kindly page.
Let me dream as of yorc by the river
And be loved for the dreams al

And Il toiler dies in a day.

Whenever he delivered the invitation
he chuckled. for he knew that most
OF those whom he had invited would

sorry, but he had an engagement the
next morning. Old Man Coyote had
important business up in the old Pas.

Joe Otter to go fishing. Jumper the
Hare frankly said that he was afraid

cause lie was so honest about it Tom
my Tit didn't chuckle as he did at the
excuses of the others. Roughleg the
Hawk begged to be EXCUSED, because
hunting was best at that time of day

he would be there.

1t isn't safe To say anything before
Chattcrcr the Red Squirrel unless you
arc ready and willing to prove that
what you say is 80. Chatterer never
f0rgcts. and il he thinks he has caught
you Dragging q will never hear tho
end ofNit. Tommy Tit the Chicadee
had. said that he was not i'll the least
afraid of Farmer Browns boy and had
just as soon cat out of his hand. OF
course. Chattercr didn't believe that.
He thought Tommy, was boasting. a
little, and he made up his mind that
he would have some fun with Tom
my. 80
So when Sammy Jay came along
Chatterer told him what Tommy Tit
had said, and Sammy told Peter Rab-
bit, and Peter told Billy Mink, and
Billy Mink told. Little Joe. Otter. aud
80 the story spread all through the
Green Forest, and everywhere Tom
my Tit went some one was sure to
ask him il he had eaten from the
hand of Farmer Browns boy lately.
And Tommy Tit never once lost his
temper. No, sir; Tommy never once
lost his temper. You see. he is one
|of the ~cheeriest, sunniest-hearted lit
tic people in the world. Ills bright
little eyes would twinkle -merrily and
he would say:
Dee dee, dee! You'll sec! You'll

Now. Tommy Tit the Chicadec is
such a very-little fellow, a very little
fellow, indeed, and the more the other
little forest and meadow people

boy. Why, Tommy isn't big enough
to make one good bite for Reddy Fox.
and yet every ono knows that Reddy
doesn't dare go near Farmer Browns
boy. 1t is the same way with most
Of the other little forest and meadow
people. So, Of course. every one
thought that Tommy had just boast.
ed. and not one believed that he re.
ally had meant what he said.
OF course, Chatterer the Red Squir-
my most, and yet. if the truth must be
told, right down in his heart Chatterer
wondered il perhaps after all it might
not be true. You See. Chatterer had
a wholly changed opinion of Farmer
Browns boy since he had been a pris-
oner and then had been allowed to go
free: He! had tn admit, that Farmer
Browns boy had been cry good to
him, and somehow he wasn't very
much afraid of him n more. In
fact, he sometimes thought that he
almost dared, to eat out of Farmer
Browns boys hand himself. You see.

nectfon whatever with the so-called
school lands or public building lands
Of the state, tolal amount OF prop
erty amounting to $9,049, 479. AT least
$7,0O0,000 worth of this property has
been accumulated since statehood. In
the past Il has been necessary to levy
a tax sufficient to pay for this property
and the large portion OF our taxes for
state purposes has been spent In pay
ing for thes lands. buildings and equip
ment. At the same time we have paid
all Of the running expenses of our state
government, with comparatively low
rate of taxation. The total tax for
seven years of statehood has only been
1855 mills, and out of this we have
accumulated $7,OO0.000 worth of prop
erty. Now that we have the property
on hand and paid for, 1t will not be
necessary In tho future to levy as high
rate OF taxation for state purposes as
we have levied in the past In other
words, It win not cost as much to run
our state government for the next
seven years as II has the past seven
years. Oklahoma taxes have been
lower than any other state OF like size
and the chances are bright that even
this cost will be greatly reduced"

WILLIAMS NO DEMAcocUE.

The Dallas News Of Friday, Septem-
ber II. contained splendid article
which cast many side-lights on the
character OF Judge r. L. Williams,
Democratic candidate for governor
One of them bears on the earnest
ness with which he prosecutes every
piece of work he enters into. The
News says, "To some thousands he is
known as Our Bob, endearing title
that carries its own explanation To
other thousands he is probably thought
of as sort of human icicle. To some
OF the ciuzenry OF Oklahoma he is
known as good lawyer, fair judge
and capable business man. An en-
thusiastic biographer OF the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor-third
Eovernor-of the imperial of the state
OF Oklahoma, has written 1t down that
the very ftHlts of tho man--all men
have some faults when analyzed
would commend him to the place.
The chronicler proceeds, Judge viii
Hams is lacking in some of the accom-
pishments Of the typical successful
politician. His gruffness 70 his friends
is a badge of sincerity but by strang-
ers it is frequently misunderstood.
Stories are legion of how, during the
recent campaign, Judge Williams by
reason Of this fact frequently lost
votes, but there we're possibly other
causes Of opposite effect"
An incident Is related OF an influen-
tial Democrat who received hurry
up greeting and scanty courtesy when
he was introduced to Judge Williams.
Il went away mad" said the leader.
when relating the incident later, but
when | got to thinking 1t over. ! be
came convinced that from the very
way Williams treated me he was no
demagogue. then concluded that per.
haps he was very busy man and dead |
in earnest" This analytical member
OF the party became one Of the most !
loyal supporters OF the Durant man.

PEACE NOT NEAR.

One would have to be very much of
an optimist to discern any very pro-
nounced symptoms Of the approach of
peace n war-torn Europe. 1t Ia evi-
dent that none of the contending ma
tions are In a mood to listen to peace
overtures at this stage and the present
status Of military operations gives lit
tie hope that the end is near. Discuss
ing the probable effect Of great bat
ties, a military authority who writes
In the Outlook says:
Whether the Germans occupy Paris
or the Russians capture Berlin will
have little immediate effect on the ul-
innate solution. Bull Run did not de-
feat the north. The south fought for
two long years seter Gettysburg and
Vicksburg. The loss of great battles
and important cities will not end this
war The loss OF their capitals would
be blow to the pride OF both nations
and would have certain moral effect
on the mass OF the inhabitants; but
the only thing that will end this titanic
struggle will be that which brought
the civil war to close--the cutting
off of supplies of food and munitions
of war and the complete exhaustion
and practical annibilation Of the arm
les of one side or the other. Which
is 1t going to be? France and England
and Russia can wage bitter war for
months. ior even years, after Paris is
captured; Germany can fight many
terrible battles after Berlin is in the
hands of the Russians"

The Trades Parade is proposition
that should enlist the cooperation of
everybody in Chickasha. In the midst
Of the trying times through which the
country is passing, we should welcome
any movement which presents an OBJ
portunity to bring the people together
in an effort to further community in
terests. At such a time above all
others, it behooves us to stand togeth-
er and to seek to strengthen the bonds
of sympathy and cooperation that
make for harmony of action and pro-
gress In the proposed parade all will
have an opportunity TO show their pub
lie spirit by uniting in the effort to
make Octjber 8, the biggest and best
day Chickasha has ever known. 1t
will mean much to the merchants of
the city in the way of trade getting to
bring people here from far and near
and show them a good time. Let's
demonstrate that Chickasha knows
how to do big things in big way.
