Not long ago a brand new watchman
was appointed aa a night guard ta th*
deportment of Justice. He assumed

of bis responsibilities. In instructing
him an official said;

pens during the night Just use your

That night, as the watchman sat at
tbe door, there came a wire from aoine
official in California asking tbe depart
meat whether there was any law
against such a thing.
Now thl* waa the time, eo thought,
tbe watchman, to "act on your own
Judgment." He gave the boy a repl
which read: "I don’t know of an
god the telegram was sent.
A high official learned of the matter
and placed It before the attorney gen-
eral. That officer smiled at tbe answer
given and remarked; “Well, he s right

It, either.’’—Washington Star.

Aa Seeing the Invisible.
No great purpose baa ever been
achieved by any Individual until his
spirit has first gone out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov-
ered Us native strength, its absolute
Invincibility when It relies upon no
help but that of God. This la the
experience of all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fel-
lows for awhile, like Moses, into the
land of Midlan. or like our Lord him-
self Into the wilderness, or like St.
Paul into the Arabian desert, and
there, in solitary communion with
God, from that highest of all compan-
ionships, they drink In strength to
fit them for the work of our lives.
Alone with God, they see visions
which fill their souls, visions which
never fade afterward even In the
light of common day, but which serve
as beacon lights to guide them,
through storm and darkness, till the
purpose of their lives is fulfilled.—
Edwin H. Eland.
The curtain waa rung up for the
third time, and Margaret Blake
stepped forward and responded to the
prolonged acclamation of her admiring
audience. She spoke with a graceful
modesty that charmed, then gathered
her floral tributes. Was It the Intense
excitement or the blinding array of
footlights that dazzled and confused
her?
Quietly reposing on a lower box

nificent bunch of violets—her favorite
flower—ostensibly placed there for her

With applause still ringing In

took the lovely bouquet, acknowledg-

reached after her with a strange and

“Give me back my hat,” she cried
hysterically.
Varied Program.
The women of a town down the
state recently organized a literary
club, and for a while everything was
lovely.    , „
“Ix)ulse,” asked the husband of one
of the members upon her return home
from one of the meetings, “what was
the topic under discussion by the club
this afternoon?"
Louise couldn’t Just remember at
flrHt Finally, however, she exclaimed:
"Now I recollect! We discussed that
brazen-looking bussy that’s Just moved

t, , right, of the town of Drumright, was
" on the scene with a cash bonus of j
$25,000 for the comprny which will
extend the oil field roads Into that
city. According to Mr. Long, the his-
tory of city building is wrapped up in
Mr. Drumright’s offer.
He declares that several weeks ago
two men located the site of another
town, Pemeta, three mile* north of
Drumright and that the railroad has
been run into that town, and is now
unloading from 501o 60 cars of freight
there dally. This has given the clt-
lzens of Drumright a fright, he de-
clares, and they have made up a cash
collateral that the road be run into
Drumright also.
Extension of the road into Drum-
right would mean an extension of the
present lines about two and one-half
miles, it is stated.
The sale of the two oil district roads
Iffis caused a flurry in railroad circles.
It would mean, it is explained, that
since the Santa Fe purchased the
roads it would have a complete corner
on the oil district commerce, entirely
shutting out the Katy and Frisco.
The Cushing Traction Company and
the Oil Belt Terminal lines consist of
about twenty miles of track already
laid, and ample equipment, with right-
of-way and plans to construct an ad-
ditional ten miles of tracks. The roads
were opened to commerce about six
veeks ago. The lines cover the oil dis-
tricts between Cushing and Jenning*.
