He said he had come in on a freight

Union Pacific depot to the Rock
Island depot and then up the track
a ways with the intention of boarding
a westbound freight. That was the
last he remembered, he declared, until
he awoke lying on the ground.
He discovered that he was severely
bruised, that large patches of hide
were missing from his countenance
and that his right arm was badly hurt.
He went to the police station and was
locked up. He said his home was in
Enid and that he had been to Kansas
City looking for work. Unable to find
it he was returning home.
He was released by the police after
they had satisfied themselves that he
was not wanted by the law.

Here's a chance. Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if 1t does
give you a clear complexion the ex-
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this strength
is sold under guarantee of money back
if its fails to remove freckles.-Adv.

PRICE OF GAS WILL
BEL0WERED IN D. c.
Public Utilities Commissioners
Have Drafted 0rder-Ma-
teriaI Reduction Expected.

Tho Public Utilities Commission
this morning decided on the rate to
be charged for gas after today and
instructed Walter C. Allen, executive
secretary Of the commission to draft
an order and present 1t to the COM
mission this afternoon. The order
will be signed either late this after
noon or early tomorrow morning.
1t Ia understood the commits sioners
decided to reduce gas rates. While
no information could be secured as
to the amount OF the decrease Il is
believed the commission will set q
new rate between 3l.1s and Sl.2s
per thousand cubic feet. to supplant
the present charge OF $1.32.
Tho reduction in the price Of oil
and material and the contemplated re-
duction in the price OF coal is said
to have figured materially in the
decision. The commits
sion has heretofore stated that the
oil price practically controls the gas
price, and the oil price reduction
probably will be the basis for any
order to lower gas rates
The Commissioners went into con-
ference shortly after o o'clock this
morning. At 10 o'clock Mr.. Allen
left the conference with instructio
He spent tho entire morning writing
a draft of the order, and handed IL TO

One by one the more sedate MEM

gambled on land rioted away the long
nights. And finally, "of all the good

there remained but this one-with his
youthful zest still untarnished. So
he collected what the others left and
lived happily forever after.
