The Boy's Inspiration.
A Kansas man who is an ard-
ent republican is the father of a
boy of 16 or 17 summers. The
father was sitting up in one of
the galleries, at the recent demo-
cratic national convention, and
when the outburst of frenzied
applause succeeding the reading
of the "anti-imperialistic, para-
mount issue" plank was at its
height he happened to see his
son down among the crowd on
the floor, waving a small flag,
prancing around and howling at
the top of hi>s voicfc. For a' mo-
ment the father was paralyzed.
He concluded that the boy had
either gone mad or had been
swept away from the faith ol his
fathers by the intense excite-
ment of the moment. For nearly
thirty minutes he watched that
boy wliooptng it up like an un
chained lunatic and waving that
tlag. That evening at supper he
interrogated the boy: "John,
what in the world were you doing
in that crowd howling like a
Comanche and waving that tlag
Have vou turned democrat?"
"Not by considerable and then
some," said the boy as he calmly
winked his other eye at his
astonished sire, "1 got a big iron
dollar for that job of howling,
and there were others who did as
well as I did."—Topeka Mail.

The Guthrie Leader is respon-
ible for the following:
The First Regiment. Oklahoma Na-
tional guard, is in evidence again.
Tliis regiment may yet see service
in the Orient. It will, at least, if the
desires of Roy Hoffman,of Chand-
ler, colonel of the regiment, have any-
thing to do with the matter.
Col. Hoffman is willing to spend
hundreds perhaps thousands of dol-
lars, in order to move Oklahoma's
military interests to the front.
Today Col. Hoffman asked Gov.
Barnes to make a tender to the gov-
ernment of the services of the First
regiment Ok lahoma National Guard,
Col. Hoffman, in his request, offers to
c mplete the enlistment of the regi-
ment to its full quota. equip tlie men
and take them to the place of rendez-
vous at his own personal expense
"Oklal mm a should cut some ice in
China," says (Nil. Hoffman, "anil 1
will do in> part toward furnishing the
cutters."
Gov. Barnes is in Gueda Springs,
and just what action he will take on
Col. Hoffman's proposition cannot at
this time be determined.
Harrah-Carter.
Through an oversight we neg-
lected last week to mention the
marriage of two of Chandler's
most prominent young people.
On Sunday, July liith, at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. .1. H. Carter, in east
Chandler, Miss Retta Carter and
Mr. Robert N. Harrah were
united in marriage, Rev. Fergu-
son, of the Chandler M. E. church
assisted by Rev. .1. C. Barker,
officiating. The bride is one of
Chandler's fairest and most pop-
ular young ladies, while the
groom is the well-known and
successful contractor, a resident
of Chandler for several years
past. Mr. and Mrs Harrah will
reside on Steele avenue, where
they are now at home to their
many friends. May happiness
and prosperity be theirs in their
new home.

tiled suit for divorce from her
husband, asking the custody of
their only child, and also of an
unborn children. This week the

supplement her petition so as to

Abe Her ron, of Noble county,
has been declared inaane because
he wanted to enforce his religious
views with a gun.
If there ever was a county in
Oklahoma in which there was the
least chance of endorsing Gov.
Barnes, his discourtesy to Gov.
Roosevelt and Col. Brodie and
other noted men in connection
with the Rough Riders has cer-
tainly destroyed his last chance.
