A Story from Kooievelt on Oklahoma's
Governor.
Amid the roar and rattle of mus-
ketry with dead aud wounded on
every side and others rapidly join-
ing the fallen ranks a captainless
company of the Rough Riders reg-
iment was pushing its way up the
slope of San Juan hill. At its head
aud urging its followers on was au
unpretentious first lieutenannt
carrying a bullet-riddled flag iu
one hand and a drawn sword iu the
other. The excitmeut was intense
the air was lurid with the blaze of
battle and heavy with the grcans of
(alien comraees. Suddenly at the
side of the lieutenant appeared on
horseback the regiment's colonel J
who yelled out: "Where is your
captain?" "Dead" was the reply.
"Where are you going'" "Tothe
top of the hill" came the answer
without a momeut's hesitation.
Theodore Roosevelt was the colonel
and Frank Frantz was the lieuten-
ant i
' No one ever heard Frank Frantz
tell the story. It came from Roose-
velt. The gallant Enid captain is
too modest to say aught which
might be constructed into self com-
mendation. He went to the top of
San Juan Hill with his captainless
co;i!oanv. He was among the first
to reach the summit and plant the
stars aud strips on the Spanish Bul-
warks: His courage iu the most
trying hour of the battle was sur-
prised only by his patriotism.
The living picture of Frantz leading
his men up the hightsof San Juan
Hill in the midst of that most des-
perate and convic: of the late war
stamped itselt on the mind of than
other born soldier.
The story of San Juan has been
often told. The scene of the.battle
there euacted has been pictured in
the richest colors of the . English
language. But in every true tale
of that terrible conflict the gal-
lantry of Erank Frantz wiii always
stand out as the brightest incident
in a brilliant bit of history. The
phrase "To the top of tne hill"
will go down to future generations
alongside of Miller's "I'll try sir"
Lawrence's "Don't give up the
ship." aud Deweys "You may fire
Gridley when you are ready."--Enid
Wave.

Why Moncybak Silks are Long Wearing.
Silk Is tha strongest known fiber. It 13 only whea loaded with

strength
But r.ot all pure silks are strong
and long-wearing. Much depends on the

are 90 double threads crossing the warp
in every inch.
A greater number of threads would
crowd the fabric nud make it stiff. Less
threads would not give the cloth suffi-
cient body to hold its shape.
Naturally these fabrics give the
longest wear because they are dyed anil
woven In the only manner In which the
silk fibers can retain their original
strength.
Examine a piece of MONEYBAK

even weave and deep rich luster.
