sented to him by "Charlie" Hunter, of

“You have the wrong pen.’’ re-
marked nn Oklahoman, as the presi-
dent dipped the gold pen Into the Ink.
A clerk stood at the president’s side
with the eaglo quill In his hand, nnd

programme was going wrong.
"Two states, two pens," remarked

dore" with the gold pen, which he
