Guthrie Girls Rcast the Young Men.
Since the night of the queen's
ball, the you g ladies of (.Guthrie
have become exceedingly mad and
propose to show the young- men
of Guthrie, that they must have
a change of heart or not be cn-
- tertained this winter. Last week
the cooking- club held a meeting
at the home of one of the mem-
bers and the charming- young-
men were not there to eat and be
entertained. The entire evening-
was spent in consultation and
resolutions were adopted. The
different members of the club had
their say.
One remarked. "I am tired of
entertaining the boys at home
and then to have to stay home
theater nights."
Another said: "I am tired of
having mv pa pay for coal oil
and coal and then have to ask
him to take me to the theater and
come after me."
Another said: "We girls give
. party somewhere and the boys
•have ju.st enough energy to come
and g-o home alone, causing us
to return home by ourselves. I
am tired of the way we are
treated."
Another ejaculated: "I move
we adopt resolutions and see if
we cannot learn the bovs some-
thing."
'"All right," echoed the others.
A committee was appointed
and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Whereas, The .young ladies of
Guthrie have always entertained
the young men at home and at
>ur cooking club meets, and as
t is a fact that we have to stay
lome from the- theater and go
iloiie to the danqos, therefore be
,t
Ktsolved, That we refuse to
•nt.rtain these gentlemen in the
uture unless they show a change
if heart and escort us to the
heater and other entertainments
n the future."- Capital.
These girls are right. These
ame chaps who are so selfish and
■enurious with the girls will
quander dollars every week oi

gances.

I was in readiness for the ship-
out when Mr. Gorton had the
nnpany's representatives arrest-'
for violating the Oklahoma
imo law. After the proceedings
re instituted the game warden
Oklahoma City jumped in and:
aimed the honor of unearthing
e violation of the law by the
rmour people. In the press dis-

A Gay Preacher.
Rev. C. 1>. Harold, a Christian
nister, some two weeks ago
s holding revival services near
jShaner. Harold passed himself
i off as a single man and was quite
| a favorite with the young ladies
;of that vicinity. The other day-
Harold's wife suddenly dropped
into the town with her children,
fie immediately left for parts un-
known without seeing his wife
[or bidding his numerous sweet-
! hearts good-bye. More than a
! dozen farmers are on track of the
! preacher at various Oklahoma
I towns. It is said that Harold
j was engaged to half a dozen dif-
| ferent young ladies and several
irate fathers declare they will
shoot him on sight.—Perry En-
terprise.
Did you ever hear of the man
who was too economical to take
his home paper, but sent his lit-
tle boy to borrow the copy taken
by a neighbor? In his haste the
boy ran over a S2 stand of bees
and in ten seconds looked like a
warty summer sqnash. His cries
reached the father, who ran to
ran to his rescue, and failing to
notice a barbed wire fence, ran
into that, breaking the fence
down, cutting a handful of lish-
bait out of his anatomy and ruin-
ing a S4 pair of pants, The old
cow took advantage of the gap
in the fence, got in, ate 4o cents
worth of alfalfa and died of bloat.
Hearing the racket the wife ran
out, upset a four gallon churn of
cream into a basket of kittens
drowned the whole mess. In the
hurry she dropped and broke a
i>7 set of false teeth. The baby,
left alone, crawled into the parlor
ruining a barn new carpet. Dur-
ing the excitement the oldest
daughter ran awav with a book
agent, the dog broke eleven set-
ting hens and the calves got out
and chewed four fine shirts which
hung on the line.—Ex.
Starbeams.
About the only thing original
in the world is sin.
It is still a question whether
the good die young or the young
die good.
Women are prone to throw
themselves at a man who is rated
as ii good catch.
It may be wrong to marry for
monev, but any justice of the
peace will do it.
Some people so firmly believe
that there is luck in odd numbers
that thev are always looking out
for No. 1.
If some men were asked to tell
all they didn't know they would
not consider it necessary to say
anything.
A New York magistrate has
decided that Jim Corbett is an
actor and not a pugilist. The
general public has for sometime
past been convinced that he was
not a pugilist.
The following appeared in one
of our exchanges: Some of the
strip towns are suffering from a
contagion of Cuban chicken pox,
a new maladv for this latitude,
and not a dangerous one. Owing
to a superficial •resemblance it
bears to small pox, and the ex-
aggeration of reports, likely on
that account, reference to it is
made sparingly. Arkansas City
also has some eases.
If you are suSerinsj from drowsi-
ness in the day time, irritability of
J temper, 'sleepless nights, general de-
| bility, headache and general want of
tone of the system,use llerbine. You
j will get relief and finally a cum
