Last evening Paul Michael, negro
kitchen man at Loomis cafe, IL West
Second, decided he wanted to smoke.
Discovering he was minus the neces-
sary articles for this operation and
having just received a pay-check Tor
his work among the pots and Kettles
he betook himself unto nearby
tobacco store and purchased some
''makins." Returning to the cafe
kitchen he opened his tobacco and
commenced to roll one when he OBJ
served that inside of the sack was
something he had not paid for. he
ran his greasy fingers inside and
quickly pulled it out.
And what do you think 1t was? II
was the dainty little note on purple
stationary by the Tulsa girl intended
for the unknown Sammie.
Unable to comprehend its meaning
and having heard of spies and all suci
things he lost no time in getting into
the police station across the alley
whtre the note was brought to officid
notice.

While we were talking he picked up
three might crawleis' at the edge Of

c. Gunther of Wichita, Kan, has
leased 210 acres of coal bearing fanu
from Ed sunday, three and a quarter
miles southeast of Oolagah. a stna.i
town in the north part of the county.
Heack machinery to develop the land
has been ordered and as soon as the
same arrives active operations on a.
large scale will be started. Mr.. Gun
ther says the whole tract is underlaid

also the vast coal and mineral field
near Catale in the northeast part or
the county.
The coal business is rapidly devel--
oping into one of Rogers county's best
industries. The coal can be mined
easily and cheaply from the fact that
the veins are shallow, running any
where from 6 to 40 feet under the sur
face.

bucket. We suggested that he had
neglected the gutter in front OF our
house, but he looked back and at n
glance said there were no crawlers
there.

that crawflsh was what he gathered
mostly, but that night crawlcrs were

R% HE star spangled banner of the
United States of America, may
God bless it forever and forever
Look at it as in the early sunlight 1t
kisses the morning breeze with its
beautiful folds, look at it and tell me
if it be not the one true rallying mark
for all honest hearts of whatever an
cestry, creed or belief who own alle-

Look at its beautiful colors as they
CLEAN in the splendor of the rising sun,
the white symbolic of purity and honor,
the red typical of the blood which has
been shed and which will continue to
be freely shed in defense of the inte-
gritty and perpetuity Of American in
stitutions, and the blue, its shining
silvery stars representing the great
canopy of heaven, under which the
soldier of the republic on the land tolls
on the weary march or bivOuacs in the
silence of the night, or the sailor on
the broad expanse Of the ocean keeps
his weary watch and vigil, that the
citizens of the republic may rest secure
while HE who watches over his true
Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps"
Loyalty to the colors i. Loyalty to the
flag of the nation That is the creed
of the American sailor and soldier and,
hope and believe, the universal re-
ligion Of the land.
And the nation will cease to be great
should the evil day ever come when
there are found dissenters to this creed.

INDEPENDENCE SQUARE.
Declarations Birthplace Associated
With Na,io1's History.

Independence square, the most
famous square in Philadelphia, at one
time was known as the Statehouse
gardens, the resort Of fashionable city
people.
AS soon as the news of the battle of
Lexington and Concord reached Phila-
delphia more than 5000 of the citizens
assembled in Independence square ito
associate for the purpose of defending
with arms their property, liberty and
lives" and it was from here that the
first state quota was mustered into
service for the army of the Revolution.
In May, 1776, an immense meeting was
held, Notwithstanding heavy rain, to
consider the authority Of the people
and to form a new government.
All during the civil war Independ-
ence square continued to be the
meeting place Of town folk to decide
upon the measures necessary to be
taken to defend the state, and here the
people thronged to celebrate the fall
of Richmond and mourn for Lincoln.

A JULY 4 PROPHECY.
Sixty nine Years Ago an Enthusiast
Predicted Downfall of Thrones.

The Fourth Of July will be cele-
brated with great enthusiasm. Pa
triotism has received new impulses by
the gluries of our war with Mexico
and the revolutions among the rotten
and lettering thrones Of Europe"
Thus siXty-nine years ago a writer
in a New York periodical voiced his
patriotism. 1t was July 4, 1S4S. lie
wrote thus:
The Mexican war has been glorious.
not SO much on account Of It's vic
tories and conquests as for the exhi-
bitlon of patriotism and heroic valor
and devotion from one end Of the
country TO the other. 1t has shown
the power Of popular government
and taught both the mOnarchies and
the people of other lands that thrones
and aristocracies and large standing
armies are not necessary to great
and powerful nation. The right Of
self government is shown to be con-
nected with the power Of maintain
ing it,

The Declaration
Then and Now
[By PRESIDENT WILSON, in an ad-
dress In Philadelphia

[By PRESIDENT WILSON, in an ad-
dress In Philadelphia
TTAVE you ever.read the Declara.
I'll ton of Independence? When
you have heard it read have
you attended to its sentences?
The Declaration Of Independence
was document preliminary to war.
1t involved a vital piece Of business,
not a piece of rhetoric. And if you
will get further down in the reading
than its preliminary passages, where
1t quotes about the rights Of men, you
will see that it is very specific body
of declarations concerning the busi-
ness of the day-the business Of revo-
luton, the business Of 1776.
The Declaration Of Independence
does not mean anything to us merely
in its general statements unless we
can append to it similarly specific
body of particulars as to what we con-
slider our liberty to consist Of.
Liberty does not consist in mere gen
eral declarations as to the rights of
man. 1t consists in the translation of
those declarations into definite action.
Therefore we ought to ask our
selves, What is there in 1t for us?
There's nothing in 1t for us unless we
can translate it into terms Of our own
condition and of our own lives.
The task to which we have to ad-
dress ourselves is a proof that we are
worthy of the men who drew this
great Declaration.

Our Everlasting Reliance.

What constitutes the bulwark of our
liberty and independence? 1t is not
our frowning battlements. our bris-
tling seacoasts, our army and our
navy These are not our reliance
against tyranny. All Of these may be
turned against us without making us
weaker for the struggle. Our reliance
is in the love of liberty which God has
planted In us.-Lincoln.
