or when the blood Is impoverished, the signal
appears upon tho face in sallowness or pallor.
The remedy needed is Dr. Harter's Iron Tooio.
Nothing else meets this particular condition ao
well. Use of it has made hundreds of thous-
ands of women look younger and made them
feel even younger than they looked. It not only
restores strength, energy and beauty, but it is a
prompt and certain cure for all ailments pecu-

first cause. It supplies just what nature needs
to bring health.

FARKAGUR'S JtKSOLtJTlON.
It wm Caused by a ltebukc by the Famuiu
Admiral's Father.
One of the great turning points in the
farly life of Admiral Farragut is told
;n Success.
David was acting as cabin boy to his
father, brave George Farragufc who had
taken part in the revolutionary and tha
Indian wars, and who, on this occasion,
as sailing master of th<* Beet, was on
his way to New Orleans with the infant
navy of the United States. The boj
thought he had the qualities that make
a man. "I could swear like an old salt,"
he says, "could drink as stiff a glass of
grog as if I had doubled Cape Horn, and
could smoke like a locomotive. I was
great at cards and was fond of gamb-
ling in every shape. At the close of
dinner one day," he continued, as the
rlory is related by William M. Thayer,
"my father turned everybody out of the
cabin, locked the door and said to me:
'David, what do you mean to lie?'
" 'I mean to follow the sea,' I said.
" 'Follow the sea!' exclaimed father;
'yes, be a poor, miserable, drunken sail-
or before the mast, kicked and culled
•bout the world, and dla in fever hos-
pital in some foreign clime!'
" 'No, father,' 1 replied, 'I will tread
the quarter deck and command, as you
do.'
" 'No, David; no hoy ever trod the
quarter deck with si ch principle, as you
have, and such haolts as you exhibit
(You will have to change your whole
course of life, if you ever become a
man.'
"My father left me and went on deck,
i was stunned by the rebuke ami over-
whelmed with mortification. 'A poor,
miserable, drunken sailor before the
mast, kicked and cuffed about the
woild, and die in some fever hospital.'
I will change my life at once. I will
never utter another oath, never drink
another drop of intoxicating liquor,
never gamble, and, as God is my wit-
ness,," said the admiral, solemnly, "I
have kept those three vows to thi«
hour."

Houston, Texas. Dec. 4. 1901.
"My father has used your medicine since the
War, and when I married in December, 1872,1
commenced housekeeping with one bottle of Dr.
Harter's Iron Tonic, one bottle of his Wild
Cherry Bitters, and two boxes of his Little Liv-
er Pills. I am now nearly sixty-two years of
age. Looking backward I feel attached to the
the old medicines and would not change tbem for
any of the new ores made."

He Avf«mmodated
He was a dudish little man, but h«
had a loud voice, and evidently wanted
everyone to know what he said. He anil
a companion, who, be it said to hit
credit, seemed ashamed of the company
he was in, stood in the hotel rotunda
ilast Saturday night. The little fellow
was talking about Ireland, and he said
many hard things about the country
and the people. A great big man stood
near by listening to the little fellow's
vaporings. He merely smiled until the
little fellow said in a very loud tone:
"Show me an Irishman and I'll show
you a coward."
Then tho b'g fellow slipped up and.
touching the little fellow on the shoul-
der, said in a heavy, bass voice-
"What's that you said?"
"I said chow me an Irishman, am\
I'll show you a coward," said the little
fellow, whose knees were shaking un-
der him.
"Well, I'm an Irishman," said the
big fellow.
"You are an Irishman? Well," and o
smile of joy fitted over the little fellow's
countenance as he saw a hole through
v- hich he could crawl, "I'm a coward."—

Lawrence, earl of Ferrers, a distani
relative of George Washington, had
most tyrannical temper, and one day in
a fit of passion he cut down with hii
sword his steward, an old gentleman
named Johnson. The latter had given
no provocation for the deed, and the
crime was an act of brutality inexcusa
ble save that the carl may not bav^
been well balanced mentally. He wa(
brought to trial for killing Johnson ant'
demanded and received the privilege of
being tried by hLs peers.
The house of lards was thronged dur-
ing the hearing. The evidence proved
to bo conclusive, and Ferrers was sen-
tenced to be hanged at Tyburn. Ap-
peals were made to tile king for clem-
ency, but In vain Ferrers met his fate
with considerable bravado, lie was
carefully attired for the occasion and in-
slFted on providing a silken coid for the
ceremony To this whim the execution'
«r agreed, .i 1 tho .'?."1 was turned ofl

A Parson's A'oble Act-
"I want all the world to know,"
writes Rev. C. J. Budlong, of Asha-
way, H. I., "what a thoroughly good
and reliable medicine I found in
Electric Bitters. They cured me of
jaundice and liver troubles that had
caused me great suffering for many
years. For a genuine, all-around
cure they excel anything I ever saw."
Electric Bitters are the surprise of
all for their wonderful work in Liver,
Kidney and Stomach troubles. Don't
fail to try them. Only ,r)0c. Satisfac-
tion is guaranteed by the Watrous-

"I want you to remember," snapped
the leading actress, who had had a mis-
understanding with one of the sub-
ordinate players behind tha scenes,
"that I'm the star in this play."
"I know you're the star," returned the
girl, glancing at the slender proportions
of the other and shrugging her plump
shoulders, "but you'd look better, my
dear, it you were little meteor."

distance it lays from tie cit\ of Iviid, from &I5 to $100 per acre.
Climate.
Outside of the almost continuous soaring of tbe Gulf current of winds,
the climate of Garfield county is very pleasing indeed, The winters are
almost always mild and th« summers a little wann, yet quite pleasant,
nights quite cool and invij:. rating. A glance at a n ap of the United
States will readily show you that ((klahoma is a haj py medium between
the cold frigid north and tbe hot torrid south, hence, ibis country is not
pestered with the disease plagues of the north nor south. The yellow
fever of tne south or the scarlet fever of the earih i ever trouble ihe peo-
ple of Oklahoma.
Population.
The population of : he county is 26,988, having gained nearlv 6,00d
since July 1st, 1897. The present prosperity of the county will undoubt-
edly raise the population to 3o,ooo before the end of this year. Ninety-
eight per cent of the people «re white, anil h hird working, rustiing class,
tempered by misfortunes m ether parls of the country. .Many who came
here in destitute circumstances linn themselves in poisession of valuable
lands and comfortable homes and quite * few have accumulator 'Dmpe-
tency.
Schools.
The public school system of the country is retarded some I' ) smalt
district system adopted by the tirst territorial legislature,yet guua schools
abound in all p rt5 of the county, and the territory provides a tirst class
University, two Normal colleges and an Agricultural college.

peanuts, sweet potatoes, broom corn, katlir corn, aril other odd cops are

ltis safe to say that the products of this county marketed within the

other yards iu the county soli 1806 car loads of lumber since Jan. I, 19ol.
THE CITY OF ENID.
Near the center ot this rich and productive county is the City of Enid,

re ch a population o' at least 15,000. Tlitre ate excellent open
ings here for the right people to go into most any kind of a
manufacturing husines,. Nearly all the churches have good congre-
gations here. A truthful write up like this may surprise some who peruse
these lines, but a visit to this county would surprise vou still more. Enid
has become the most important raflroad center of the territory. Six lines
jof railroads run in and out of the ciiy and four more are building in. Enid
