up and hurried away without looking
at Worley or Mrs Pickle Bace and
after he was gone ! asked Mrs Pickle
Face why he did not wait for them and
she said that she did not think he knew
they were there So we all went home
and they did not talk much on the way

A Newkirk paper accused Ponca City
OF producing most OF the bootlegging
cases in that county, and the Ponca City
Courier comes back to say that the
charge is possibly true, for the reason
that PoHca City, unlike some neighbor-
ing towns the editor might mention
prosecutes its bootleggcrs instead Of
protecting them Another reason, the
Courier points out, why bootleggers
might come to that town, is that they
are apt to prefer a live community, in
stead Of a perambulating cemetery, or
words TO that singing effect Before
these editors come to blows, may we not
suggest that there is plenty Of fighting
