JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
THE wANDERER COMES HOME

We were the dreamer of the brood. We
were the restless son,
The stalwart of the waywurd mood, the
wild unharnesscd one.
The different child that brought the
tears TO mother gentle eyes.
By grumbllng at the chains oi years and
all her preachmentr wise.
And so one day We turned from her and
came 10 Plymouth Rock
And neighbors smiled and said se were
The black sheep of the flock
Soon came n stormy argument and after
u was o~r
In bitterness the word was sent that We
come home no more;
New joys had made u. proudly glad. here
with our fields and mines,
The riches Of the world we had, It's choicest
foods and wines.
And IN the mothcrInnd twas said whom
gossips tongues would hum,
That once n wayward son was bred from
whom no good would come.
swiftly tho happy wears flew by; then
bitter grief and care,
Out ot clear and sunny sky struck at
the mother, there
Old as the hills, the story runs, beseiged
by iyrant might,
The mother called upon her sons to
guard her through the night.
Hates forces battered nj her door, this
was her dny Of fear.
But we still kept out distant shore and

Across three thousand miles Of sea one

AS TO WAR ON TURKEY.

If the attack on the American hospital
and consulate in Tabriz was made by
Turkish troops it would undoubtedly be
sufficient ground for declaring war on
Turkey, but there is no use in declaring
war unless We can fight We might send
a fleet TO the Mediterranean and occupy
Beirut, or land a force at Mcrsine that
could cut the Bagdad Railway, which at
that point is only few miles from the
sea. Great Britain ought 10 have done
that rs soon as Turkey got into the war.
But neither operation would contribute
much to the wars conclusion. II We
should declare war on Turkey our mission
and property interests would suffer
severely, and in all probability the last
Armenian who had not escaped to Russia,
Persia or Egypt would be murdered mere

ROBBERY SUSPECT JAILED.

Budd Ballew, deputy sheriff,
brought J. l.. Costello in from Writ
last night and placed him in the
county jail to answer to a charge OF
highway robbery. He was arrested
at Writ shortly after midnight.
d. \. Laughlin, who works the
last half OF the night, was leaving
his home in Writ to go to the place
OF his labor and had hardly lett his
doorstep when he was held up by
two men, one OF whom held a gun
on him while the other went
through his pockets, taking from
him S45 in money and a watch. He
recognized both the men and will
be able to fully identify them.
When Costello was arrested he
had $40. The remaining So and the
watch have not been recovered, but
are supposed to have been taken by
the other man, as he had formerly
expressed a desire to have the watch
owned by Laughlin. The officers
know the man and his arrest is ex-
pected at any time.
Costello was released from the
county jail only about a week ago
after serving a term on a commit
ment for vagrancy. He is % years
old and subject to the draft, He
says he is registered at Tulsa.
