SHEARED UNDERWEAR
OFF HILL BILLY OF
ARKANSAS WILDERNESS
Shoop, an oil man of the Wichita
fields, isn't very keen for Arkansas
where there is a bit of oil excite-
ment just now, a sort of overflow
from the Homer, I-a., field. Shoop
once "played" in Arkansas putting
up at a hill billy's home. Winter
camc on and he changed under-
clothes, suggesting to the wife of
his landlord thait she laundeT his
B. V. D. suits. A neighbor's wife
chipped in with the information she
had made her "old man" change.
"We all had a right smart hard
time uf it gitting Bill's underwear
off to. The hair on his leg had
growed into the drawers and the
tuzz had worked its way into his
sleeve so tight he yelled awfully
when he tried to skin out of it so's I
had ter git my shears and just nat-
urally shear it off'en him."—Wichita
Eagle.
promises nor temporizes
not evade, excuse nor sue for peace,
He is afraid of neither the bluster
for Truth, on which goodness is j brag nor the temptations and
built, can never be at peace with er- seductive pleadings of evil. He does
[ not recoil from the shining lances
r°There can be no truce between1™' burnished fields of the
vice and virtue, truth and error. 'ne.m,#st. ?f, HfhteomfcM. He knews
Centuries ago the ancient wise man 'lr helplessness and «owa dice
said, "The wicked flee when no man ! before the true and the good. He
pursueth: but the righteous arc bold kno
as a lion." The righteous are those
who know they have right, justice
and truth on thoir side, and this
means that God himself is behind
their efforts. The minions of dark-
ness know this, which accounts for
the faci that they "flee when no man
pursueth. The ending of the great
world tragedy with victory on the
banners of those fighting for liberty,
justioe and right is a most impressive
confirmation of this assertion. The
same conditions existed in this in-
stance with the natioas as when
David and Goliath met in the Valley
of Elah, and the results were the
same—victory for God and the -ight.
Goodness possesses all that is re-
quisite to growth and power, of per-
manence and perpetuity. The imps
of darkness flee at the approach of
light, "because their deeds were evil."
Thus they themselves bear testimony
to the all-power of God and the lack
of it on the part of the "prince of the
powers of the air'' juse as did the
evil spirit spirit which cried ont when
he saw the Master approaching."
'"Let its alone; what have we to do
with thee, thou Jesus of Narareth?
Art thou come to destroy us? I know
thee, who thou art, the Holy
One of God." lie knew that his de-
struction was at hand, did Jesus of
Nazareth so will, just as all sin and
evil are when one decides to refuse
further association with evil persons
thoughts and deeds.
Error always trembles before
T rtith.
Gnilt lowers its head when cos-
fronted by innocence.
Vice cowers i nthe presence of vir-
tue.
Hate grovels under the steadfast
paze of Love.
He who lives in accordance with
the teachings of Him who is the
Light of the World whose aim and
desire is to "do always those things
that please Him," who loves God
with all his might and his neighbor
as himself partakes of His perman-
ence, participates in His joys, re-
joices in His glory, in proportion to
his attainment of spiritual heights.
Goodness has the strength of princi-
ple and the consciousness of con-
viction. It is of such as he of whom
it is said, "With long life will I satis-
fy him, and show him my salvation"
His humility comes ef consciousness
rs their courage is as hypocri-
tical as their words. He knows
that in the case of truth and error
'a thousand shall flee at the rtbuke
of one;" that numbers count nething
in the battle wherein the Lord is en-
gaged. In the battle of right against
wrong always "the battle is the
Lord's."
"Fight the good fight with all thy
Might
Christ is thy strength and Christ
Thy ri ht;
Lay hold on life and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally."
"IUST WHERE IS THAT
THEATRE?" WAS MAIN
THING WITH SENATOR
A retired minister is a member of
the state legislature. He introduced
a bill, after attending a light opera, to
compel chorus girls to wear dresses
that reached to their knees.
In talking for the bill he declared
that he saw enough with his own
eyes and they are not very good, to
bring the blush of shame to the face
foany man. One of the represen-
tatives from down Wichita way
leaped to his feet.
"Will the (gentleman yield tc
question?"
"Certainly," was the response.
"Just where is that theatre?'
The laugh that followed ehatved
the bill to death.—Wichita Eagle.
SPARES POLICE TO
PREVENT ANY MORE
HANGING AT HOME
CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—'The detec-
tives jumped over their automobile
and took the gun of the young man
whose arms were raised in the half-
light of dawn yesterday. As they
were going to the detective bureau,
the prisoner said:
"I could've shot one o' you dicks.
Only we don't want any more hang-
ings in our family."
His name is "Mike" O'Brien. His
brother Jack is sentenced to hang
Feb. 20, and his brother Willie is
"in" charged with a $100,000 fur
robbery. He was charged with try-
ing to steal an auto.
Jack O'Brien is to hang for the
murder of Richard Burke, shot in a
, South Side saloon during a holdup.
I Mike was arrested at Fifty-fifth and
Lincoln streets.

TOUGH ON RURAL CARRIERS.
The past week has been especially
tough on the rural carriers and on
several of the routes they have been
unable to make their complete ruonds.
On one or two days none of them'
even attempted to go, knowing it1
would be impossible to get through. |
They say the north and south roads >
are fairly passable, but great drifts J
still occupy the east and west thor-
oughfares. The roads are something
awful," they say.
There are three vacancies in the
ranks of rural carriers from the Nor-
man office at present—Routes 1, 2
and 7. The two former pay about
$150 per month, bat 7 is a three-
times-a-week route and pays in the
neighborhood of $940 per annum.
Owing to the fact that it is impossi-
ble to make the rounds ia an auto-
mobile and almost equally impossi-
ble to hire horses, no delivery has
been made on Route 1 for some days,
the patrons on that route getting
their mail at the office. It is #oid the
scarcity of horses is something un-
believable unless one goes out to try
to hire one. Fords have taken the
place of horses, and those who keep
horses, just keep enough for their
own use.
many of them have lots of cotton
still in the field and it is rotting.

The Dishes Almost
Wash Themselves
The Electric Way
How often have you said, "Oh. if I
only didn't have to wash the dishes!"'
You need not wash them any more—
there is a better way for you—a way
that is far superior to having a servant
wash and break your chinaware for
you.
The Electric Dishwashing
and Drying Machine
is the solution of one of the housewives' most ag-
gravating tasks. This machine makes every meal a
pleasure—because the housewife knows she won't
have to dip her hands into dirty dish water when
dinner is over. All she does is to carry the dishes
to the machine, place them in the racks and presto!
The work is done
