Tun Traders
We call attention to the big add
on another page of this issue of
The Traders. They have just trad-
ed for two large stocks of bank-
rupt goods and are putting them
on the marKet at a low price. The
Truders have somehow alwys been
ale to sell tilings a little lower all
around than the rest. They treat
ueople right and naturally have
built up an enormous business in
a comparatively short time.
New Sanitarium
Dr Oummihgs lias opened an
Electrical Sanitarium at 105 west
California in Oklahoma City, I he
equipment consists of all modern
eleotrial appliances used in the
treatment of human ills and the
great therapeutic Leucodescent
Lamp-sunlight.
Dr. Cummings ,s an ethicnl ob
server and stands high with the
medical profusion. He is a grad
uate from the College of Physi-
cians at St Louis and has had sev-
eral years experience before com-
ing to this city from Norraan-
"floine Comings” arc being cel-
ebrated in tin1 t *■ f Illinois
this summer. Those who have
gone to other stales are invited to
come back for a visit at some
special time and those who can
not come are requested to send a
little history of their doings since
leaving the place. One of these
invitations lias been received al
this office and were it possible,
would be accepted. Altlio u g h
coming from different sections of
Illinois, the entire editorial force
of the News are “suckers” and
while the “call of the west” litis
drawn them to the golden skies
and large opportunities of the
Forty Sixth State there is a large
share of tenderness for the old
home state and pride^ in her
achievments lelt in their hearts.

T he Ladies, Aid Society.
We've put a fine addition to the
good old church at home,
It's just the latest kilter with gallery
and dome;
It seats a thousand people —finest
church in all the town.
And when 'twas dedicated, why, we
p'anked ten thousand down;
That is, we paid five thousand—
every deacon did Ins best—
And the Ladies’ Aid Society, it pro-
mised all the rest.
We've got an organ in the church,
very finest in the land,
It's got a thousand pipes or more;
its melody is grand.
And when we sit on cushioned pews
and hear the master play,
It carries us to realms of bliss un-
numbered miles away-
It costs a cool two thousand, and
it’s stood the hardest test;
We ll pay a thosand on it—the
Ladies Aid the rest,
1 heyTI give a hundred sociables,
cantatas, too, and teas;
They’ll hakea thousand angel t akes
and tones of cream they'll freeze;
They'll beg and scrape, and toil and
sweat for seven years or more
And then, they will start all over
again for a carpet for the floor.
No, it isn’t just like digging out the
money from your vest,
When the Ladies’ Aid gets busy and
says, ‘We'll pay the rest."
Of course, we’re proud i n big
church, from pulpit up to spire;
It is the darling of our eye, the
crown of our desire:
But when I see the sis.ms work
to raise the cash that lacks,
I somehow feel the church is built
on woman’s tired backs,
And I sometimes can't help think-
ing, when we reach the regions
blest,
That men will get the toil and
sweat, and the Ladies Aid the
