NUMBER 30
SELLS FLOTO AND
BUFFALO BILL SHOWS
SOME ADVICE FROM FATHER.
The circus H coming; coming
with its wagons of gilt and
glitter, with its strange animals,
with its lieautiful women on
horseback and everything else
that goes to make up a wonder
ful, happy day beneath the
great spreading tents. For on
Friday, September 24th, there
will arrive in Cushing the Sells-
Floto Circus and Buffalo Bill's
Original Wild West for one
day's exhibition, afternoon and
night.
Many features are with the
circus this year, principal among
which are Col. William Frede-
rick Cody (Buffalo Bill) with his
entire retinue of Ind ans, riders,
ropers, cowboys, cowgirls, rang
ers, soldiers and vaqueros; and
Rosa Rosalind, the Maid of
Mystery. Never in the history
of America has there been an
equestrienne like Rosa Rosalind.
One after another she turns air-
sets, "Hip flops" and somer-
saults upon the back of a plung-
ing horse until it is almost im
possible for the eye to follow
her.
Then, too, there are many
other features to be seen with
the big show this year Captain
Recardo aud his lions, Lucia
Lira aud hor three herds of
performing elephants, Devlin's
Zouaves, the forty clowns,
Rhoda Royal and his hor3es, and
hundreds of acrobats, aerialists,
contortionists aud tumblers.
Two performances are to be
given, one at 2:15 in the after
noon and another at 8:15 at
night. Doors will be opened an
hour earlier.
Listen daughter! Your mother tells me that you and she have been talking over
the matter of getting a hired girl to do the housework. She also says that she feels
sure that you two could get along with the work all right, but that the young fellow
who is coming around here evenings will think we are not swell enough if he knows
that you and mother do the housework: Don't you worry about that. If he thinks
such stuff, he is not good enough for you. But he looks pretty good to me and if he
is half the fellow I take him to be he'll think all the more of you when he knows that
you not only know how to cook and bake and mend, but that you are on the job. So
let's put up a little game on him. The next time he comes, receive him in your kitchen
apron. Tell him to amuse himself in the parlor for a moment while you finish mani-
curing the supper dishes. I wont be here, you know. He picks out my lodge nights
to make his calls. So I wont be in the parlor to embarass him. Then, along about ten
o'clock, ask him if he wouldn't like a bite of lunch. He'll insist that it will be too
much trouble, but you tell him he may come along and help. Any man in the world
will fall for that. He'll trail along after you to the kitchen. You'll have the stage all
set and the proper costumes ready. The costumes will consist of two aprons, one for)
you and one for him. Oh, he'll put it on. If there is anything a young fellow will
fall for it's the kitchen apron and a job doing nothing but keeping out of the way.
Then you get the lunch ready. Tell him to slice the bread and no matter how he
butchers it, tell him it's fine. Ask him if he can make a salad dressing. If he says he
can, let him go to it. And you praise it to the skies. Ask him for the recipe. Tell
him you'll keep it a secret. What would you like for a wedding present?

STATEMENT BY
JAMES A. GARFIELD
"Business colleges originated
in this country as a protest
against the insufficiency of our
system of education. These
business colleges furnish their
graduates a better education for
practical purposes than Prince-
ton, Harvard or Yale."
If you want to draw a good
salary as a first class bookkeeper,
stenographer or stenotypist, at-
tend a first-class school. We
can give you a better course in
three months than schools teach-
ing old, out of date systems can
give in six months.
You should read what stu-
dents, parents and business men
say of the success of our gradu-
ates-

The first illuminated night

spending $0,000 on the floats for
two such pageants. In addition
there will be four daylight pa

LINCOLN COUNTY
When one is told that the cot-
ton crop of Lincoln county in
one year netted the farmers
$1,500,000, or $118 for each man,
woman and child, the idea must
not be formed that cotton is the
only crop. Lincoln county was
awarded a prize at the Oklaho-
ma State Fair for the largest
individual farm display, the ex-
hibit including 63 varieties of
products grown in one year on
one 80 acre farm. Sixty-three
different kinds of products from
one farm! That's a pretty good
case of diversification.
Of the 42,000 people in Lin
coin county, 30,000 res de on
farms. It is the largest rural
population of any county in the
State. And do vou know, we
think every farmer in Lincoln
county should read the New Era.

An exchange asks this fool
question: "When will mankind
cease lying and deceivj^jg one
another*'' As near as we can
figure it out, here is our answer.
When Happy Hooligan gets
Suzane, when Cap gets even
with the Catsinjammer Kids,
when Maud quits kicking, when
Mutt quits abusing Jeff, and
when the Newly Weds pacifies
Snookums, mankind will cease
lying and deceiving one another.
