ARE YOU SEEKING
Investments for the New Year.
YOU can invest your money so that it will double in value in a short time if you
will use ordinary judgment. All that you need to do is to compare* and see
what others have done in Oklahoma City by investing in additions that lie close
in so as to get the benefit of the development that must soon take place.

I had the opportunity of seeing a
young widow burn herself by tbe Bide
of ber deceased husband. Tbe funeral
pile was about ten feet tigh. In the
middle of the pile lay her deceased hus-
band, an old and miserable looking
man. Tbe devoted victim was a young
creature about seventeen, dressed in
white, with all her Jewels on. There
was a confused noise of singing and

And success is one of fascination interest to mankind. It is a story of hopes and dis-
pointments, of struggles, failures and success, of seeking and finding, of planting
and growing, of long struggles and tardy reward of little efforts and great results. It
is interesting to all men because of the search for honorable conquest and the effort
for legitimate gain are both human and characteristic of all mankind and justifiable
and right. You may gain a fortune as an inventor or an investor, but in either or
both you must exercise good judgment if you wish to make a success.

Have placed on the market an addition that lies directly between the UNIVERSITY
and the main business portion of NORMAN. This addition has been graded and
planted to trees, a fine boulevard of one hundred feet wide runs through the center of
this addition which will give ample room for all the travel and provides for a right-
of way for a street railway when needed. In this addition there is also a reservation
of a block for a public school building. The question to be considered in contem-
plating an investment is tbe future of Norman, will it continue to grow ? In answer
the investor has only to make comparison with other cities in the states that are
fortunate enough to have the state University located in there city. Besides the edu-
cational advantages, it lias an excellent agricultural country surrounding it which
alone would insure Norman to make a city.

token that the bishop Elias was to be

One of the most interesting feature
of the second Semester at the Uni-

thirty or forty young men that are

who are taking work in the Econom-

from the vicinity of the imposing mass
of masonry, ao be said to him, "Wool,

"Killing a nigger."
"When did you krfll him?"
"Oh, I haven't killed him yet—thought
I'd get a pardon in advance, so t lt. ro
wouldn't be any trouble about it."
