CITY CLUB PLEA
FOR PARK BONDS
Members Endorse Big Issue,
but Regret Lack of $780,
900 More.

At the weekly luncheon of the City
club held at Hotel Tulsa Saturday
noon, the entire club expressed grave
disapproval of the exclusion by the
city commission of an appropriation
for city park in the s1.000,0OO bud
get to be voted on June 2S.
Varying degrees of activity was
urged by the different members Of
the club.
Schuyler C. French said that prac-
tically every civic organization OF
Tulsa had placed itself on record as
being unqualifiedly in favor of the
park and that in spite of 1t all the
commission had deliberately excluded
it from the budget. Mr. French fig
ured that an appropriation which
would mean 37ia cents additional on
every s1,750 worth OF real estate
owned in the city would take care OF
an adequate appropriation for a city
park.
Support Budget.
The consensus of opinion was that
the budget should be supported but
that all possible pressure be brought
to bear on the city commission in an
effort to have a 100000 appropra-
tion for. a park included on the bud
get. A COlnpOStu OI L. IL
Hutchinson, C.. l.. Holland and Or
vile c. Frantz was then appointed
Tor that purpose.
Tells OF Store.
L. Il. Abbott of Scott-Hallburton-
Abbott company, who was the speak
er Of the day. talked about the man
ner in which his firm expected to
serve the public after they moved
into the building now being erected
for them at Fifth and Main.
Mr. Abbott touched particularly
upon the manner in which the town,
at first grown away from its own de-
partmont stores in its rapid spurt up
ward was now producing a class of
metropolitan stores second to none in
the country.
He spoke warmly of the successful
efforts which were being made by his
competitors in the dry goods business
to give ever-increasingly better serv-
ice to the public, and said that the
Tulsa men could derive pleasure as
well as profit from visit to the de-
plrtment stores of which they were
usually so shy.

KING DENTISTS

The King Dentists who are so well known throughout New England, have decided that the city of Bridge port will appreciate and support a modern dental office, an office that aims to give the people only the highest grade work-and at prices lower than those of any other dent ist in this city. The equipment of this office is the finest and most mod ern that money can buy. No ex- pense has been spared to make this the best dental office in this state. The King Dentists positively state that $1 will go as far as $2 elsewhere. No pain will be a feature of these new ofhces-an improved method of crown and bridge work will be featured something new for the people of this city.
 Also instead of having to pay $15 and $2O for sets of teeth the King Dentists will charge you $5 so you can readily see the big reductions that will be in force.
 Special opening inducements will be offered to introduce. this new of flee to you thereforer it will pay those in need of dental service to make an early call

 Red grows the cheek and warm the i hand. the part is in the whole! |'Nor hands, nor cheeks, keep separate when soul is joined to soul"
 | With what different sensations peo- Iple look forward to the approach or

 with dread. The young hail it joy ously. They have visions of skating,

 Friday to molasses candy. pull; Sat- urday night sleighing, and Sunday. God willing, I'll see that she goes to church. Each and every week that follows is crowded with some sort of entertainment.
 Young folks have the time of their lives in winter. It is at such affairs as these that people become acquaint- led. Girls may go to these places by themselves and so may boys. There 'intrcductions take place. They dance, dine, chat and make merry. Each young man plays the gallant-selects some girl to take home.

 has met, she may invite him to call Thus romances begin He accompa- |nies her to a few dances, takes her out skating and sleighing a few times.

MONG the ornaments of Tars IA Tarkas' leather harness, which n is the only manner of clothing @ worn by Martians other than capes and robes of silk and fur for protection from the cold after dark, was small mirror about the bigness of lady's hand glass, which hung midway between his shoulders and his waist against his broad back.
 AS we stood looking around the dim ly lighted apartment my eyes hap pened to fall upon this mirror, and in it's shiny surface saw pictured a sight that caused me to whisper:
 Move not, Tars Tarkas! Move not muscle!'
 He did not ask why, but stood like a graven image while my eyes watched the strange thing that meant so much to us.
 What saw was the quick movement of section of the wall behind me. 1t was turning upon pivots, and with it a section of the floor directly in front of 1t was turning. It was as though you

placed a visiting card upon end On 6 silver dollar that you had laid flat upon a table so that the edge of the card per- fectly bisected the surface of the coin.
 The card might represent the section of the wall that turned and the silver dollar the section of the floor. Both were so nicely fitted into the adjacent portions of the floor and wall that no crack had been noticeable in the dim light of the chamber.
 As the turn was half completed a great beast was revealed sitting upon its launches upon that part of the re- posite side before the wall commenced to move. When the section stopped the beast was facing toward me on our side of the partition.
 But what had interested me most was the sight that the half turned sec tion had presented through the opening that it had made.
 A great chamber, we'll lighted, in which were several men and women chained to the wall, and in front of them, evidently directing and operat- ing the movement of the secret door way, a wicked faced man, neither red as are the red men of Mars, nor green as are the green meh, but white like myself, with great mass of flowing yellow hair
 The prisoners behind him were red Martians. Chained with them were a number of fierce beasts.
 Watch the wall at your end of the chamber, Tars Tarkas," I cautioned.
 So long as we remained each facing an opposite end of the apartment no attacks were made upon us, so it was quite clear to me that the partitions were in some way pierced that our ac- tions might be observed from without.
 At length plan of action occurred to me, and backing quite close to Tars ITarkas unfolded by scheme in low whisper, keeping my eyes still glued upon my end of the room.
 The great Thark grunted his assent to my proposition when 1 had done and in accordance with my plan com menced backing toward the wall which l faced, while advanced slowly ahead of him.
 When he had reached a point some ten feet from the secret doorway, I halted my companion, and, caution ing him to remain absolutely motion less until gave the prearranged sig nal, I quickly turned my back to the door through which could almost feel the burning and baleful eyes of our would be executioner.
 Instantly my own eyes sought the mirror upon Tars Tarkas' back. I had not long to wait, for presently the golden surface commenced to move rapidly.
 Scarcely had it started than ' gave the signal to Tars Tarkas, simultane- ously springing for the receding half of the pivoting door.
 In like manner the Thark wheeled and leaped for the opening being made by the inswinging section.

/ JUDGE NOT.

Oh! judge not thou thy brother man, Lest thou myself be judged; Think, ere thou interest thy ban, Of sins thou hast indulged. Judge not the many erring ones, Who pass thee on Life's way; The blood of Christ for these atones; He died for such as they. Judge not each simple word and act To be with wrong intent; Such judgment may on thee react In righteous punishment. Christ, saith, 'The measures that ye

P. R. writes: VT come for advice, for am very lonely. I had a young man of eighteen as a, friend. Parents liked him and urged his wis., it's. I don't care for any boys visits. I am young not yet out of school. Told him so. He was angry and he wouldn't say Good night I had far rather be with girls. But they snub me. My character is nice. Family respected. I keep books in a confec- tionery store in vacation. Do you think it would be that work or am shabbily dressed? Girls speak first. I've no bosom friends. They talk to me as if were older.

 You doubtless have nice ways. A few of your sex may be envious of you. You have plenty of time later on for beaux, after. schooling is over during vacations. You may come out better than those born with a golden spoon.

WHO IS TO CORRESPOND

Or many who ask me to hear from he, how can l decide on the one best suited to devote time in writing and replying to?"
 After a few letters pass from one to the other, you can usually tell if you are interested enough to continue corresponding. Some good conver- sationalists are poor correspondents.
