THE EDITOR

Consider the editor. He weareth
purple and fine linen. His abode is
among the mansions of the rich. His
wife hath her limousine and his first
born sporteth a racing car that can
hit her up in forty fiat.
| Lo! All the people breaketh their
necks to hand him money. A child is
born unto the wife of merchant in
the bazaar. The physician getteth
ten golden plunks. The editor writeth
a stick and half and telleth the null
titude that the child tippeth the beam
at nine pounds. Yea, he lieth even
as centurion. And the proud father
giveth him Creme.
Behold, the young one groweth up
and graduateth. And the editor put
teth into his paper a swell notice.
Yea, peach of a notice. He telleth
Of the wisdom of the young woman,
and of her exceeding comeliness. Like
unto the roses of Sharon is she, and
her gown is played up to beat the
band. And the dressmaker getteth
two score and four iron men, And
the editor getteth note of thanks
from the S. S. G..
The daughter goeth journey. And
the editor throweth himself on the
story of the farewell party 1t run
meth column, solid. And the fair
one remembereth him from afar with
a picture postal card that costeth six
for jitney.
Behold, she returneth and the. youth
of the city fall down and worship. She
pickett one and, lol she pickett a
lemon. But the editor calleth him one
of our most promising young men and
getteth away with it. And they say
send unto him a bid to the wedding
feast; and, behold, the bids are fash
toned by Muntgummely Hawbuek, in
far city.
Flowery and long is the wedding
notice which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth ten bones. The groom
standeth the editor off for a twelve
month subscription.
All flesh is grass and in time the
wife is gathered into the silo. The
minister getteth his bit. The editor
printeth death notice, two columns
Of obituary, three lodge notices, a
cubit of poetry and card Of thanks.
And he forgetteth to read proof on
the head, and the darned thing cometh
out, "Gone to Her Last Roasting
Place"
And all that are akin to the de-
ceased jumpeth on the editor with ex-
ceeding great jumps. And they pull
out their ads and cancel their sub
scriptions, and they swing the ham
mer unto the third and fourth gen
erations.
Canst thou beat Exchange.

AemIock Bark for Roofs.

They are using waste hemlock tan
bark instead of expensive rag stock in
the manufacture of felt roofing. From
20 to 30 per cent of the rags is being
replaced in some mills by waste bark.
This means considerable saving in
the manufacture Of felt roofing The
extent of the saving rendered posi-
bic by the new method is pointed out
by the fact that the roofing mills Of
the United States have a total esti-
mated annual production of $4,000
tons Of finished roofing of all kinds,
equal to about 11,SOO,O0O squares
BY square" of roofing is meant 100
square feet.

' MMY A GREWsOME OBJECT
iehanged After Lapse Of Three Thou.
sand Years, Face Of Egyptian
Priest Shows rcath Agony.

In the museum at Cairo, Egypt city
Of the pharaohs, one Of the most grew
some objects TO attract the attention Of
visitors is the mumnified remains Of
pagan priest of The twenty-second
lynasty. The embalmers did their
work remarkably Oh the body of this
priest of long past age The features
remain in such perfect state of pres
ervatiOn that the face is positively
fearful to look upon, and yet it has
been placed in that coffin long before
the Roman empire commenced to exist.
The hieroglyphic inscriptions record
that he lived and offered sacrifices to
the gods of Egypt contemporaneously
with certain historical events which
are known to have happened about
1000 years before the redemption of
the world; and vet his drawn and pal
lid face, with tie traces Of agony Of
death visible upon it, aud his slightly
open mouth, with the white teeth show
ing between the parted lips, Strikes the
beholder with the distinctive impress
sion that those lips had only recently
sent forth their last gasp.
The other features seem to convey
similar Impression The cheeks are
plump; the eyelids closed as if in
sleep; the black, cprly hair still clus-
ters round the skull the skin has
scarcely lost any of its dark yellow
tint; and the ears are perfectly pre-
served. The expression of the face and
general appearance of the body are
those of man thirty years old and
six and half feet in height.
The embalmlng of the persOnages of
his time was always entrusted to the
pagan priests, Evidently in the case
of this member of their order no pains
were spared

LEARN TO LAUGH

A good laugh is better than medi-
cine. Learn how to tell a story. A
well told story is as welcome as a
sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to
keep your troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your ills
and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking.
If you can not see any good in the
world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn
to hide your aches and pains under
pleasant smiles. No one cares whether
you have the headache, backache or
rheumatism. Don't cry. Tears do
we'll enough in novels, but are out of
place in real life. Learn to meet your
friends with smile. The good hum
ored man or woman is always wei
come.

EASY TO SILVER MIRRORS
Simple Directions Given by Oklahoma
Chemist Will Be Found Of
Much Value.

The following directions for silver.
ing mirrors are supplied by DR..
Charles X. Francis, chemist at Okla
homa A. and NJ college:
Thoroughly clean the surface with
soap and warm water to which add a
few drops of I've. Rub the surface
dry, and then keep it covered to pro
tect from dust A wall of putty or
clay should be built about two inches
away from the spot to be repaired,
being very careful not to touch the
clean surface; this is to serve as a
reservoir for the silyerlng bath. For
each nine square inches to be covered,
pour one-half ounce of a per cent
solution of silver nitrate. To this add
ammonia water, drop by drop, until
a light brown sediment appears and
does not dissolve. There should be a
very small quantity of this sediment
produced.
Dissolve a piece of glucose, about
one-fOurth inch square, in half-Ounce
Of water. Warm the solution and add
to the nitrate solution on the mirror,
which should be In warm place pro-
tected from dust, and allowed to re-
main for IL hours. Pour off the solu-
ton, dry, remove all traces Of putty,
etc, then cover the entire surface with
shellac
Diluted nitric acid will dissolve the
silvering from a piece Of glass.

BOWERS BILL REPEALED

The senate Thursday voted to re-
peal the Duke Bowers capital punish
ment bill, passed at the session two
years ago. The vote was % to 10 In
favor Of repeal. Those opposed to the
repeal of the bill were Senators Bates,
Burton, Fulghum, Fuller, Haston, Hill,
Ingram, Johnson, Rocks and Thomp-
son.
Unable, through sickness, to appear
at the capitol to use his influence
against repeating the measure, Mr..
Bowers sent final written appeal to
the senate, begging them not to legal
ize murder by the state again. He
wrote that ITO remain away nearly
drives me distracted. Contrary to
anticipation, there was little discus
sion of the measure and the vote was
taken without comment.

DAISY DEANE

Twas down in the meadows, the VIC
let's were blooming,
And the springtime grass was fresh
and green;
And the birds by the brooklet, theil
sweet songs were singing,
When first met my darling Daisy
Deane.
Chorus
None knew thee but to love thee
thou dear one of my heart.
Oh, thy memory is ever fresh and
green;
Though the sweet buds may wither
and fond hearts be broken.
Still | love thee, my darling Daisy
Deane.
Her eyes were soft and tender, the
violets outvieing,
And a fairer form was never seen;
With her brown silken tresses, her
cheeks like the roses,
There was none like my darling
Daisy Deane.
The bright flowers are faded, the
young grass has fallen,
And a dark cloud hovers Ger the
scene;
For the death-angel took her, and left
me in my sorrow,
For my lost one, my darling Daisy
Deane.
IT'S down in the meadow, still love
to wander,
Where the young grass grew so
fresh and green;
But the bright golden visions of
springtime have faded,
With the flowers and my darling
Daisy Deane.

DOUGLAS AFTER CHEAPER RATES
 FOR THE LIGHTS
Mass Meeting Is Called Tonight by Mayor To Discuss Problem
 Thoroughly.

DOUGLAS. May 23.-Mayor Smith has called a mass meeting for to night at 8 o'clock in Labor Union Hall for the purpose of discussing the matter of cheaper electric lights and power for Douglas.
 For years the residents of Doug las have resented the treatment ac corded them by the company supply ing them with electricity and now that it is believed that article can be had for one half of what has heer formerly charged the people are in clined to act in the matter withou' delay, hence the mass meeting called for tonight.
 The Treadwcll company is the con cern with which it is expected ar engagements for furnishing electric ity will be made and, while the com pany will not likely engage in re tailing it's product. the plan is fol the city of Douglas to buy electric ity for a lump sum and retail tho same to the consumers. On pres ent charges it is believed both the city and consumers will profit by the deal, the latter very largely.

ADVOCATES NET
 ACROSS WATERS
 FOR 300 MILES
American Editor Figures Out How To Put Stop to Submarines on
 English Coast.

NEW YORK, May 23.-lt would be practicable to stretch a net from Norway to Scotland, some 300 miles, across the North Sea, says the editor of the Scientific American, at cost of several million dollars. Consider ing that Britain's shipping loss is $31 100000 a day, this would be a paying proposition. The net could be made proof against wire cutting de- vices, and a patrol of ships would be able to keep it intact; it would pre- vent submarines issuing from Skag- gerack, from Kiel and the Elbe river, from Bremen and Wilhemshaven and from the Wester river and Zee brugge.
