OKLAHONIA's SCOUTING DRAGON.

From the Richmond Tmes-Dispatch.
OklahOma's latest wonder is a spouting dragon
that runs along the tracks of Okahomas principal
railroad. The dragon burns, blasts and scatters
anything in its way. Primarily it was constructed
to clear the tracks of weeds and noxious plants
but it is performing further service.
5 Oklahoma abounds in snakes and other creep
ing terrors and these gather themselves and fright
en- the citizenry. When the dragon comes down the
road spouting fire lifts these reptiles high in air
and, by specially constructed machinery, sets the
snakes on fire. When it is known that the dragon
is to have an outing Oklahoma turns out en- masse
of course, and watches the confagraion that beats
any prairie fire that Redeemed the skies of
that section.
The destroying element of this dragon is gas gem
Grated from gasoline, and there is nothing like it
in any other state. If Oklahoma Indian can't
get his fire water from the government agent on
the reservation ne wraps his blanket about him
and goes out and waits for the spouting dragon
1t has the same effect fire water" except that
it doesn't leave a headache.

Wanted: A Rest From the
Wilson Marriage.
Jas. A. Hin in DeKalb New Era.

hope the newspapers will give us a rest now
on the coming wedding of Woodrow Wilson. Mr..
Wilson has shown himself great man IN tne
momentous years he has filled the office OF pres
ident.
But marrying the second time with the white
house for a background and the paraphernalla OF
official Washington for trimmings is no sign OF
greatness. Any old widower of reasonably good
looks and prospects always find some woman
who is fool enough to hitch up with him, and the
world does not come to an end, or even WoDDle Oh
its axis.
do not blame Mr.. Wilson for marrying the sec
Ond time nor for the the fOrty-second time If he
wants to and can find anybody willing to join him
in the venture but am objecting to the neWspa-
pers acting such fool about it. There IS no more
reason for the whole columns of details being PRINT
ed about the coming wedding than there is about
the wedding of Widower Smith and the Widow
JONES' of Skeetervlle, Ark 1t is presumed that
both are old enough to know their business, both
having been married before, and the coming mar
riage should be matter of some importance 10
them. But it is no Importance to the great Dody
of Americans who have their own serious tasks TO
perform, and who may never see Mr.. wilson ana
his wife except by the merest chance.
The thrusting of their marriage into the lime
light has reacted harmfully on many men consplc-
in public life. We all remember now Admiral
Dewey home from Manila hailed as one OF
Americas greatest heroes. He was greeted with
one of the most remarkable outbursts of welcome
that was ever accorded an American. He was given
an attractive home by his admirers. He gave 1t at
once to his newlywedded wife. chilling frost
fell with astonishing suddennesS upon the country
In day the hero OF Manila pay nad become Joke
and a by-word. This sudden change from praise
to censure and ridicule of the most pain
full things Admiral Dewey ever encountered, and
something he seemed utterly unable to understand.
to this day it is said he feels aggreved about
the manner in which the American public looked
upon his action when he gave his house away
hope Mr. and Mrs Wilson may live happy ever
after but | also beg to be excused from being told
daily how Woodrow parts his hair, how the lady
wears her engagement ring, that she happened
to the awful accident of splitting dab of powder
on her nose.

That Would Be the Fate of HoneymoOniacs If III.

Literally the honeymoon is the first month af,on

George Pomeroy Goodale.
Unlike most human ailments it has no degroo
of intensity. Always its attacks are of the most
violent not to say virulent, character The neriod
of its run depends on the constitutional vigor of
the sufferer. When the head softens in symnatbv
with the heart, the condition of the victim is in
deed deplOrable; being a kind of salvation that
lOosens all the teeth of good sense and reduces +h
patient to state of drool that is pitiabe when
is not exasperating-to the onlooker
An elaborate diagnosis of this disease by ono
skilled in it's treatment would be of practical vaue
provided such diagnosis could enable the unskied
laity to apply effective remedies.
l really think that specific for honeymoon
stricken humanity is a necessity. Not that have
much sympathy for the victims, but that the more
numerous (and resentful spectators of their with

One may endure the fever ward of a charity hos

even have sat through amateur theatrical perform

begins to assert itself and there rushes to the
forefront impulse to descend upon the enemy
with the flaming sword of humiliation.

no trustworthy assurance that l shall long con-

experiences have given me consuming thirst for

"Talcum Powder Boys.

A newly-dug diamond is not a beautiful thing.

If Abraham Lincoln had spent his youth in

Great men come out of adversely Genius thryes

l have read that Oscar Underwood was reared

But fathers of ordinary hardly take

much chance of attaining distinction as jelly fish

The boy whose dad spoils him and sets him
