CIRCUS DAY BRINGS
MANY VISITORS HERE
Twenty-r°ur Hour Man and All the
Rest' Help to Enter'ain People
During Their Stay.
From the arrival of the "twenty-
four hour man" Saturday until the
last coupling is made in the train to-
night, Norman will be entertained by
a circus.
Even yesterday, when the circus
was unloaded at Eufaula street, Nor-
man's young hopefuls lingered
around, longing for a chance to water
the elephants or "lace the big top"
in return for a card-board entitling
them to an anchorage in the "nigger-
roost."
The balloon men, with huge hands-
ful of the inflated balls and tubes,
were working the streets by 10 o'clock
and many a one of them were punc-
tured by small boys with rubbers and
bent pins, the boys Bafely hidden in
stairways.
Long before noon a large crowd
had assembled along Main street, eag-
erly awaiting the appearance of the
"mammoth street parade."
The circus attracted many people
in from the country, the children es-
pecially anxious concerning the show.

When you made your debut on this
mundane sphere, who was it that
published a glowing account of your
arrival? Was it the printer with a
job shop, or was the struggling editor
who ran the paper in the home town
and who was striving to make that
town a fit place to live in?
When you graduated from school,
won the laurels over your colleagues
in debate, song or declamation, and
made the breasts of vour dear old
parents swell with pride, was it the
job printer who told the neighborhood
about your triumphs and hung a
wreath of glory over your expansive
brow, or was it the editor, who also
runs a job shop and depends upon it
to help him produce a paper that
made your town grow and flourish
like the proverbial green bay tree?
When you led that sweet young
thing t othe altar, took her by a lilly
white hand and swore eternal fidel-
ity to her through thick and thin so
long as the great God of the universe
might let you live—who was it then
that heaped encomiums of praise up-
on yours and her antecedents and
placed you and her in the gallery of
fame forever, Doss>l>ly prevaricating
in the attempt.? Was it the job
printer out for cash, or was it the
printer with a newspaper, trying to
render service that you were never
able to repay?
When your own first tot peeka-
| booed his way into this benighted hut
hopeful realm, who was it that told
what a wonderful thing had trans-
pired in your home, and what a won-
1 derful prospect the young hopeful
had in view of the intelligence and
I refinement of its proud and prosper-
ous parents? Was it the job pripter
j • t was it the printer with the news-
1 paper who had boosted you all the
days of your miserable or unmisera-
i ble life?
j Finally, when death stalked into
your home, scythe in hand, and took
from you the light of your home and
household, was it the job printer that
sighed and sympathied with you in
your affliction? Was it lie who des-
cribed the floral offerings and pro-
nounced the popularity of your
household in language that lives ^jnto
this day and hour. .No. it was the
editor of the local paper te only man
in your community :who was capable
of getting the message to the people,
thereby extolling your virtues and
hiding your iniquitiies.
Moral Jt b printers are not capable
of rendering service for the public
weal that can be rendered by the edi-
tor who runs the paper. That is a
class of service he renders every week
and every day for which he gets no
pay unless the businss public is mag-
nanimous enough to repay him by
j placing with him their, orders for ev-
erything they need in the printed line.
Think it over.

Were Ahead.
Green and daughter had started
across the lake ahead of the other
couple, and were considerably in ad-
vance of them when the dog attacked.
They were so completely out of the
way, in fact, that none of the specta-
tors noticed the man and girl going
down.
No reason for their sinking can be
given, other than the man became ex-
cited in the confusion and lost all
ability to swim.
After enjoying a beautiful and
j pleasurable Sunday morning ride, a
, delicious and invigorating picnic din-

Plavfullness of a Collie doy caused
three deathc by drowning late yefter-
day evening at Downng's lake si*
miles west of town.
The dead are:
T. D. WOODSON, aged 33, real
estate man.
J. L. GREEN, aged 29, pressman.
BERNICE GREEN, ag«d 5, all of
Oklahoma City.
The two men were wading and
swimming in the lake with their chil-
dren. Bernice and a little boy of about
the same age whose name could nto
be obtained, on their backs. The dog
swam out and -began picking playful-
ly at the lottle boy on Woodson's
back, snceeedine in ducking him sev-
eral times. This caused Woodson to
become excited and loose his head
when he got in over his depth, it is
reported.

William Cobble, son of W. W. Cob-
ble. 22.1 ast ETonahwa street, saw the
nredeament and fought off the d°K
until he could bring the bov to shore.
Arthur Grav hauled the two out while
other,, went to the aid of the man.
i Cobble was strangled in his suc-
| es^ful effort to save the hoy and it
was several minutes before he could

j troop 3 of the Bov Scouts, and won

L°wther Is Summoned
A pole was found and extended to
the drowning trio and other rescuing
means were tried in vain. In their

common the case with drowning peo-

Dr. R. D. Lowther was summoned
from Norman !yid the two women of
the party went to Oklahoma City for
