Contains 100,000 Words. — The
constitution for the new state of
Oklahoma is being printed and will
he ready for circulation In a few
days. It covers 123 pages In book
form and contains 100,000 words. It
(s more thgn twice os large as any
other ctate constitution of the Uni-
ted States. The longest constitu-
tion of any existing state Is that of
Louisiana, which contains 15,000
words. Virginia stands second with
33.000 and Alabama third with
33.000 words. The shortes-t consti-
tution is that of Rhode Island, with
f ,C00 words, and the average leapt a
of the state constitutions of the

length of the Oklahoma constitu-
tion la due to the large amount of
pure legislation contained in tho

Ms wife Is still critical. The couple
were re-married at Newkirk las:
week.
Will Take 25 Trains. — A resident
r.f Ponca City, inclined to mathe-
matics, has figured It out that it
would take 25 trains, of 25 cars each,
to move the 225,000 bushels of corn
now cribbed and plied on the ground
in that community, and that amount
of corn, if thrown suddenly upon the
market In ony of the large trade
centers would be sufficleut to swamp
It. If the car shortage continues, it
w'll be Impossible to get the old
crop moved by the time harvesting
the new crop begins.
Forty Balen Cotton Burn.—Forty
biles of cotton were destroyed nt
Hobart In a fire that endangered the
compress.
Animal Collection Burns—Fire at
Guthrie damaged the home of Col.
T. S. Jonrs to the extent of $l,00fl,
which is covered by $1,800 insur-
ance. A loss that cannot be re-
placed Is (lie damaging of a part nt
the elk, deer and buffalo collection
made by Edgar Jonee, the promin-
ent politician and son of Colon* 1
Jones. who died »«»o year* ago.
Last Run For Oklahoma.
To the younger generation and
the more recent settlers in the new
state this article, by Emerson
Hough, will be of much Interest and
will give you an Idea of how your
fathers and neighbors secured their
homes and the hardships endured
by them.
Before the “run" a terrible crush
ensued. The advance reglatery was
over 90,000, but more than 200,000
men were in the Cherokee Outlet ty
afternoon of the opening day, Sun-
September 17, 1893.
“Ten thousand men camped that
night," he says, “on a single town
site. Such armies were aMgaed
along the borders as mlght^EKe
caused the ghoet of Oklahoma
Payne to rise. Twenty thousand
camp fires on Saturday . glowed
along the edge of the old Indian
hunting trail to the ‘buffalo plains’
of forgotten memory. More than
seventy-five thousand men were
massed along the'Southern line of
the Strip alone, and all the land
office towns In Kansas were packed
with seething crowds for days. An
endlesB line of men waited In pro-
cession back of the reglstery win-
dows. A man paid $5.00 five differ-
ent times for. advances in his place
up the registry line, and nt last got
within a few paces of the window,
after days of waiting. Worn out by
exhaustion, he dropped dead in lint.
The suffering of all these thousands
was extreme. There had been no
rain for one hundred days. The
thermometer stood 100 In the shade.
Water was ten cents a glass, and
bread fifty cents a loaf. Force was
the real law.
“Sooncrs were at their work for
days in advance, although now the
guard was strict. At the start a
'sooner' ran across the line before
the gun. A soldier ordered him to
haolt, hut he went on, and the sol-
dier killed him. The man’s partner
killed the soldier. Then came the
starting gun, and wild mobs swept
over both corpses and the matter
was forgotten. In quarrels along
the line before the start three men
were shot. Nineteen men fell in the
line, prostrated by the heat, and
three died. One young woman went
stark mad: an accidental shot kill
cd one man in the waiting line, and
many were so accidentally wound-
ed, for most v. ere armed.
"At one locality, on the north
line, the crowd was more than three
hundred yards deep in packed,
stntggling^urring humanity, and it
reached east and west as far as the
cyp could see. A horse was worth
$100 If it could stand up. Some rau
the race with two horses tied to-
gether, shifting from time to time.
“An army of over a hundred thou-
sand started in the vast, panic-
smitten, motley herd that Sunday
noon in September, and roared
away, scattering vattgly in the dis-
tance. It left behlud It many dead
bodies of borsrs and some of men
and women. From Arkansas City
there went 30,000 men; from Or-
lando. 25.000; from Caldwell, 13,-
000; from Hennessey, 10,000; from
Stillwater, 10,000; from Kiowa,
3,000; from Hunnewell, 3,000; from
other points over four thousand.
These are conservative estimates,
and probably far within the truth.
At Kingfisher 6.000 men were in
line at the land office filing their
preliminary papers; at Whartoon
1,200; nt other points as many. At
Tried to Save Two Boys. — Eddie
Kendal], 9 years old, was drowned
in a creek near Pawnee. Tho Ken-
dall boy and two companions,
Sammy Ingraham and Frank Sous-
ley, wqat in swimming, thinking the
water would be as warm as tho
weather. Tho Kendall and Ingra-
ham boys were seized with cramps.
Young Sousley succeeded in rescuing
one of his companions but was un-
able to drag young KeKndall out of
the water. His body was recovereJ
an hour later.
Hole Through Head. — Tony Por-
ter. nu Indian, who died near Clear-
vlew, 1. T„ lived for 22 days with a
bullet hole clean cut through his
head. George VVaikcr, another In-
dian. was immediately arreBted after
Porter's game strugglp for life was
ended. The shooting occurred at a
country dance. Both men had been
drinking. Later they became en-
gaged in a fight and Walker shot
Porter through the head with a re-
volver. A 38-oaliber bullet entered
one side of his head and came out
on the other, but despite this Porter
lived 22 days.
Guilty of Manslaughter. — Charley
Simpson, of Lawton, who killed
Worth Bailey during a qnarrel In a
saloon March 19. 1906, was found
guilty of manslaughter in the sec-
ond degree. Hailey was at one time

Monday night the machinery of the
American government was estab-
lished.
"On May 23, 1895, the next nddb
tion to Oklahoma came In the shape
of the Kickapoo Indian reservation,
20C.CC2 acres. In eastern Oklahoma;
which was made n part of Lincoln
and Pottawatomie* counties. This
according to the article In Apple-
ton’s Magazine, “was the last land
opened by the ‘run’ plan."

PULLING TOGETHER
HOME MERCHANTS SHOULD PA-
TRONIZE EACH OTHER.
KEEP DOLLAR GOING ’ROUND
Do Net L«t It Escape by Unnecessar-
ily Sending It to the City—Set an
Example to Other*.
The community that will pull to-
gether, that will work as one man
for the general Interests, will find an
abundance of prosperity.
And working together means the
spending of the dollars of the com-
munity within the community. Nor
does it mean only that the farmer, the
mechanic, the doctor, the preacher,
the editor must spend their money at
home, but it means also that the
merchant must do the same thing. It
means that you, Mr. Dry Goods Mer-
chant. must patronize your neighbor,
Mr. Furniture Dealer, when you want
furniture. It means that you. Mr.
Fundture Dealer, must patronize your
neighbor, Mr. Dry Goods Merchant,
when you want dry goods. It means
that the groceryman must patronize
the home Implement dealer when he
wants a new wagon, and the imple-
ment dealer must buy his groceries
In the home town. It means that
whether Mr. Butcher, Mr. Grocery-
man, Mr. Dry Goods Merchant, Mr.
Furniture Dealer, Mr. Hardware Man,
a profit. The groceryman buys a dol-
lar’s worth of dry goods, and the dry
goods merchant makes a'profit. The
dry goods merchant patronizes the
dentist, and the dentist makes a
profit, and the dentist buys butter and
produce from the farmer and the
farmer makes a profit. So as the
dollar goes around and around a com-
munity each man into whose (seeding
It conics makes a profit on the han-
dling of it, and tho dollar grows Into
two. But what would have happened
had the farmer taken that dollar to
buy his groceries of the mail-order
house, or the groceryman sent it to
the city for his dry goods? The
trust organization of the community
would have been broken, that dollar
would have ceased to earn profits for
the people of the community, but
would have began earning dollars for
the city Into which it was sent.
It Is the dollar that is spent at
home that makes the savings deposits
of the home bank grow; that In-
creases the wealth of the community,
and decreases the tax rate. Buying
at home means saving the commun-
ity. but, Mr. Merchant, do not preach
this trade at home doctrine unless
you practice it. You must buy your
stock of merchandise in the city to
be sure, but aside from what Is spent
for your stock of merchandise see
to It that every dollar It is possible
to keep at home remains in the com-
munity. Keep them circulating
among your neighbors, and they will
make money for you as well as for
them: they will build the home com-
munity, and make of it a prosperous
community in. which your business

or whoever it may be, that Intends to
erect a new building they should buy
the material for that building at
home of their neighbor. Mr. Building
Material Man.
And let us speak a word for Mr.
Printer Man also. He is a part of
this community; he contributes to its
prosperity; he advertises it, and lie Is
entitled to his place in the circle
through which the community's dol-
lars are to circulate. When you. Mr.
Merchant, want printing of any kind,
give the Job to the home printer.
Tlie dollar that you spend with him
he will again spend with you, and
both will make a profit on it. It is
but fair that he have this, his legiti-
mate portion of the home trade. He
Is as much a part of the community
as youVfeelf, and as much entitled to
your support as you are entitled to
the support of the farmer, the me-
chanic, the preacher, the doctor.
The battle against the mail-order
octupus can never be a successful
one unless all interests are actively
engaged In it. It can never be suc-
cessful so long as the merchant wants
it preached but doe3 not want to prae
tice it himself. The merchant who
sends his'saving account to the city
ba.vk for safe keeping is not entitled
to the support of the community
whose money he takes from it. The
merchant who will not patronize his
.brother merchants, who makes his
visits to the city an excuse for buy-
ing his own household supplies, sup-
plies that are not carried on Ills own
shelves, of the city merchants. Is not
entitled to the support of the com-
munity. Such a merchant wants to
preach but not practice home trade.
He wants to do with the community's
dollars just what he condemns iu
others—send them away from the
community. He would bankrupt tho
community for selfish interests.
There are few. if any. such mer-
chants as this in this or other com-
munities, but if there are any here It
Is not for their benefit that this pa-
per is preaching home trade to its
readers.
We hear much of the strength of
trusts and combinations. In what
does their strength lie? To a large
extent in the fact that they control
the trade In the commodities in which
they are dealing. They make every
dollar they spend an Interest earn-
ing dollar. Let us form a little trust
of our own. Let all of us, merchant,
fainter, doctor, mechanic, preacher,
editor, spend our dollars at home,
keep them at home, and wo have or-
ganized a trust of our own that will
bring to each of us our share of earn-
ings on the capital invested.
This is not a hard problem to figure
i ut for ourselves. The farmer, let
U3 say, wants a dollar's worth of
sugHr. He buys It of the home gro-
ceryman, and the_ grocerymau makes
will grow, and your town holdings
will grow in value at the same time
the farmer's acres grow in value. The
home trade problem is a many sided
one, and the home merchant's side of
the problem Is not the least of them.
WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.
REASON FOR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar Had
Origin In Wisdom.
If you are patient enough to ferret
It out you will find that there is a rea-
J son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing we do.
Take, for example, the wearing of
widows' caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of maline, crepe and
lace? It is a custom handed down to
us front the Romans, who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss of
a dear one. This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without a single spear of hair on their
heads, but of course it was most un-
attractive for women. No one. not
even a Roman matron, liked to be
seen bald-headed, so the women of
the Tiber devised a little cap to hide
tlieir baldness, and thus the custom
has come down to us, even though
bead3 are no longer shaved as a sign
of mourning.
The reason that, hells are tolled for
the dead is that years ago, when toll-
ing was first established, the people
thought that the sound of the bells
frightened away evil spirits who hov-
ered uear the dea/1.
Why do men. and women, too. wear
bows on the left side of their hats?
Tile reason is simple enough. When
the head covering built upon the order
of hats of to-day was first introduced
It was ornamented with-a ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side, reaching
below the shoulder. These ends were
u sort of anchor, or safety line, and
were put there expressly to he seized
when a sudden.gust of wind threaten
ed to blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the left side because, as a
general thing, the left hand was more
apt to be free than the right. Eventu-
ally these ribbons were knotted in a
fetching bow with flowing ends, and
then they were cut off quite close to
tho hat, so that they form a very
small and stiff bow knot.
It Is always the custom to throw old
shoes after a bride and thla queer
custom came into vogue when parents
were in the habit of using their slip-
pers to keep their girls obedient and
good. Now the slijiper is not really
Intended for the hrlflc, but for the
bridegroom, who Is supposed to use
It for the same purpose the mother
and father of olden limes did.
Failures are, with heroic mind*, th*
stepping stones of succe**,*.
VARNISH IS NOT WANTED.
Distinctly Out of Place on Dining
Room Table.
When buying a dining room table
insist that the varnish bo removed
from the top. The comfort of such
a table, when so treated, can only be_
appreciated by those who have had
the varnish removed, as any hot dish
can then be placed on it without fear
of defacing the wood, says a writer in
Good Housekeeping. A woman can
easily remove the varnish from an old
table with any of the "varnish remov-
ers” to be obtained at a paint shop.
Wash the table and, when thorough-
ly dry. oil it with boiled linseed oil.
Rub the oil well Into the grtiin of the
wood until It has all been absorbed.
A sure test would be to pass a small
piece of white satin over it and when
it remains unsoiled the table is ready
for use. Once each week, thereafter,
clean carefully with a damp cloth;
then dry and take a two by two-inch
piece of tissue patter wet with oil and
go over the top of the table, following
this with careful rubbing. In a few
weeks you secure a higher polish than
ever before. If more oil is used for
the weekly oiling it accumulates and
the table is harder to care for.
NAILS IN THE WALLS.
Blemishes That the Careful House-
keeper Will Avoid.
It is a great pity to see how care-
less many people are about driving
nails into the walls with utter disre-
gard to the patter. It may be all very
well if the picture is always to remain
where It is placed, but- if it Is moved
an unsightly blemish is left on tho
wall. Most houses have picture rails
nowadays, especially on the first floor,
ami this removes any necessity for
large pictures to be hung front nails.
For small pictures it is possible to
suspend a small rod with brass-tipped
ends iroin the picture molding, and
to this rod attach the pictures by
gilt wires.
At the back of pictures hung
against a delicate wallpaper It is wise
to paste norrow slices from bottle
corks against the two lower corners
of the frame. Those prevent the pic-
tures from rubbing against the frail,
and the cork knobs do not make
marks.
Hoarhound Taffy.
This is an old-time candy that our
grandmothers deemed effectual for
hoarseness and cough. Cover a half
ounce of dried hoarhound leaves with
a gill of boiling water, and stand aside
for an hour, closely covered. Strain
through a cheesecloth, squeezing until
all the Juice is extracted. Put this
with a pound of brown sugar in a
saucepan, add two tablespoonfuls of
water and a tablespoonful of lemon
Juice or vinegar, stir until the sugar
is dissolved, remove the spoon and
cook without stirring until a little
dropped in cold water is brittle. Pour
into a greased pan and mark, when
partly cold, into squares. If these
candies are too bitter for your tast*
lessen the amount of the hoarhound
a little.
Almond Cream Cake.
Beat the whites of ten eggs, and
onto this sift one and one-half cups
of powdered sugar and one cup of
flour. Into which is stirred a large
teaspoonful of cream of tartar; stir
gently and bake In jelly pant?. For
cream take a half a pint of sweet
ereant, the yolks of three eggs, a
tablespoon of powdered sugar, a tea-
spoonful of cornstarch which has
been dissolved smoothly in a little
ntilk. Beat the yolks and sugar to-
gether with this, boll the cream, and
stir these ingredients in. as for any
cream filling, only make a little thick-
er; Into this mix a half pound of
blanched almonds which have been
chopped very fine; put together like
jelly cake and over the top stick the
remaining half pound of nuts.
About Footbaths.
While a nightly bath is excellent,
the feet should not be soaked oftener
than once a week, unless they are
sore front walking or standing.
In that case dissolve a bit of wash-
ing soda the size of the thumb's end
in a basin of water, its hot as can bo
borne.
Soak the feet in this ten minutes,
rinse in clear hot water, wipe dry
and rub and knead with the bare
hand for five minutes.
For perspiration—especially offen-
sive—never let hot water touch your
feet. Bathe nightly, in cold water
with borax in it. For tender.or burn-
ing feet nothing is better than a
strong sea-salt bath, either hot or
cold.
Vegetable Soup.
Have ready one pint each white
turnips and potatoes, cut in cubes,
one-half pint each leeks and carrots
sliced, one pint tomatoes, one large
onion sliced, one clove of garlic, two
sprigs parsley, two stulks celery, one
tablespoonful salt, one teaspoonful
sugar, three tablespoonfnls good drip-
pings or butler, and pepper to season.
Cut the onions fine and cook in the
drippings until faintly colored, then
put into the soup pot with two quarts
of water and the carrots and cook
for half an hour. Add potatoes, cel-
ery, turnips, seasoning and tomatoes
and cook an hour. Ten minutes be-
fore serving add the minced parsley
and serve with croutons.
White Cake.
Take three cups of flour, two cups
of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder; to this ndd one cup of fresh
butter, one of sweet milk, and the
whites of five eggs; mix well and
bake in a loaf. Line the tin with but-t
tered paper to prevent burnjng.
