The farmer bends the knee to
none, and is less disturbed by the
world-wide reign of graft and greed
than any of his ^llows. May he
live long and prosper—this son of
the soil who is the balance wheel
the universe.
We heard on the street the other
day of a man who claimed he was
too poor to take his home paper, but
all the same he read a notice in one
of pur daily papers, how to prevent
a horse from slobering, and seut $1.
60 for reofipt. When the $1.50
worth of information came it said:
"Teach your horse how to spit.
Yissterdaywo Wire asked if we
ever saw a baldheaded woman. We
vnswered "No," we never did nor
d d we ever see a women waltzing
around town in her shirt sleeves
with a cigar in her teeth, and run-
ning into every saloon she saw. We
have never seej) her go fishing with
a bottle in her pocket, sit on the
damp ground all day and come home]
at night drunk. Nor have we ever
seen a women yank off her coat and
gay she could lick any man in town.|
God bless her, she's not built that

way.

The rain last week caused many
railroad accidents and some of them
were in Oklahoma. On last Thurs-
day evening the north bound passen-
ger train which is due here at 5:150
hut which was nbput three hours
late was ditched just south of Wauk
omis. Several cars were turned over
including the Pullman and two pri-
vate cars which were attached to the
train. It was certainly lucky that
no one was seriously injured. The
accident was caused by the trucks on
the tender coming loose. The wreck-
ing crew went up Friday and put the
cars back on the track. Sunday
morning a small wreck occured be-
tween Okarche and El Reno which
blocked the track and the morning
train No. 36 was sent around by
Geary from K1 Reno.
Some newspaper men are terrible
liars. In writing of a cyclone out west
one of them said it turned a well in-
side out, a cellar upside down, moved
a township line, blew the stav-.-t <.;il
of a whiskey barrel and left nothing
hut a bang hole, dunged the day of
the week, blew the mortgage oir a
farm, blew ail the cracks out of a
fence ami knocked the wind out of a
politician.

The Mayflower
'A Shoe as Good as Its Namz
The "Mayflower/ Shoe
is made to fill a special
demand. Many ladies
want a dress shoe at a
medium price. In the
"Mayflower" we meet
all the requirements for
SHOE
It Was Ever Thus.
Man who is born of his parents ij
of few days and full of microbes.
Hegocthto school when a young-
ster and g' ts the seat of his pants
paddled for something that lie did
not do until ho is sick at heart.
He groweth up like a weed in a
bacK yard, and soon reaches the
age when he is composed largely of
feet, freckles and an appitito for
j pie. About the litne he gets too
| long for short trousers and too long
for short ones he goetli away to
college, and learneth how to mon-
j Key with a mandolin and play
| whiskey poker. He cometh home
I a bigger fool than ever and marrieth
a sweet young thing whose pa is
supposed to be wealthly, but he
subsequently ascertaineth, could'nt
buy the prize rooster at a county
fair. He worieth along from year
to year, gradually acquiring off-
springs, untill his house resembles
a Sunday school just before Christ-
mas- He frettcth through all the
day and lieth awake nights trying
i to figure how to keep himself and
his dependant out of the poor house-
Efforts are rewarded by having his
daughters run away and get mar-
ried and bring him home a nice
son-in-law every few days to feast
at his board. His sons grow tip
and call hiin governor and Eet hirYi
back a five spot every day or two.
About the time he has acquired
enough lucre to make it worth
while for his heirs to quarrel over
he contracts a cold and is hurried
away before ho has time to talk to
his family. His eons blow in his
estate on bad whiskey and plug hats
and his wife puts the finishing
touches to his career by marrying
the hired man.
BITS of TRUTH.
A Rhode Island man sold his wife

The seed of crime is usually plan-
tod in the hay loft or back of the
wood shed. There is usually where
the boy smokes hi3 first cigarette.
Did you ever notice that wo arc
never free from ball. In the spring
we have baseball, in the summer
there is high ball, in the fall
there is foot ball, and in winter
there is dance ball—and all the
year around there is baby haul.
The boy who ran away to be n
red skin realized a part of his am-
bition- You know the part mother
used it as a back stop for a good,
stout shingle.

Weather Forecast.
While we are not a prophet or
the son of a prophet but it is becom-
| ing a popular fad to give weather
forecasts, so here is our prediction
j for this month: During the first
half there will be some brisk winds
from the north, but every day the
sun will rise, and often there'll be
gloomy skies; some days, however
may be fair, with southern winds
and mellow air. Those things will
happen sure we know, because they
always happen sc. This good
month's moon will full, and office
seekers work their "pull." Some
htcky ones will land the prize, while
other men esteemed as wise will fail
in all they undertake and find they
have made a sad mistake, for Char-
latans to fourtune ride while modest
worth is thrust aside. These things
will happen , we know because they
always happen so. In this good
month of 1906, the boys and girls
I will have their fun. They'll go to
| parties, dance and spark; they'll kiss
j each other in the dark; they'll marry
| and begin their life, a happy hope.
i ful man and wife, and someday they
J will own a kid, just like their dads
| and mammies did. These things
j will happen sure we know because
they've always happened so.
Bids on Big Pasture.
Only 554 Received Up to
Closing Time,
Lawton, Okla., Dt-c. 3.—I'p to
c lost ing time tonight, 531 bids had
U'cn received at the government,s
general land office on the "b:g pas-
ture'' claims of Kiowa county,
which are now being sold at auction.
Of these bids 270 came thru the
mails. Judge J. \V- Witten, chief
of the legal department of the gen-
eral land office, expressed surprise at
the Htuall number of bids received
at tl.ua far. He attributes this to
the fact that nearly every one is
waiting to see how many bids are
going to be made so as to regulate
the amount he must bid to get a
claim-
In the pasture there are 2,531
tracts subject to sale, and of these
132 tracts arc leased laud and will
be sold subject to lease. At present
there is not a railroad in the pas-
ture except a road that crosses one
corner of it.

Bids May be Thrown Out.
Few Bidders Comply
With Published'
Instructions.
Lawton, Okla., Dec. 3.—That
matiy of the bids submitted for
lands in the Big Pasture and the
three reserves will be thrown out
becatisc of irregularities, as Regis-
ter McNight predicted recently,
will prove true if the advanced bids
received may be taken as an indi-
cation. Rids could not b0 received
until this morning at 0 o'clock but
six had been opened and retained
Saturday with notice to the bidder
to submit new bids. Of the six,
one did not contain a* certified
chewc as required; another cot a ned
a eWcvK to the "register and re-
ceiver," another contained a chocK
not submitted ^j itti the bid, and a-
nother did not have a signature.
These would seem to indicate that
the number of informal bids will
be large.
Sermon to Boys.
Young man, do you ever stop to
think about tomorrow? Does it ever
enter your head that possibly you
are going to lie with out shelter when
the bleak days of after years come?
asks Bert Walker. I)o you ever stop
to think that the parental roof that
now covers you and the parental
hands that now feed you will some
day go the way of all material things
and be no more? You poke fun at
the poor devils about town who wear
ragged clothes and work out in the
snows of winter and the boiling
days of summer for a pittance, but
that is what you will come to un-
less you get a hustle on yourself,
There is just a certain amount of
work you will have to do in the
world and a certain number of
things you will have to learn, and
the sooner you get at it, the quicker
you will find yourself on Easy street.
Some fellows start out too late and
cash in their checks before they
reach easy street. Learn a trade.
The man who builds the wall gets
bigger wages than the man who
carries the mortar. The man who
hires the ditch dug is the man, who
makes the money, not the man who
digs it. Try and be the man who
hires the job done.
We announced last week and week
before last that our basket ball
team had gone to Waukomis. This
was a blame lie but we are not re-
sponsible for it. The weather actod
up about the time wa were ready for
press and kept the girls at
home both times, We are getting
kind of discouraged announcing
this but we will make one more try.
If it does'ut rain or the Rock Island
railroad don't have a wreck, or if
the WauKomis girls don't postpone
the game, or Rome of our girls don't
I have tooth ache the Dover basketball
\ team will go to Waukomis next Sat-
I urday and play with the team on
| their home grounds.
