the officiating minister, Rev. Pur-
lee. of the Christian church, who
in part spoke as follows:
"There are times in one's life
when we are called upon to render
active services when all our feel-
ings seem to impose silence rather
than call for words. In this spirit I
am sure we approach this hour
Words are of little moment now,
but some things may be said one
who we have all loved has gone
from among us and we learn that
death strikes all classes in all con-
ditions and walks of life. Many
th'ngs m ’ife w° are uncertain a bout
but death is one of the certainties
with which we have to deal. 1
have stood beside the casket of a
little one and have said to myself.
It is well this little one has hardly
entered into the joys of life has no
ambitions for the future, has no
plans laid to work out and consider
ing that it is possible that a major-
ity of the race die before the age
of five years and that being immor-
tal without sin they have achieved
success in the light of this we can
say. “It is well 1 have stood be-
side the casket of the aged bent in
form, all their plans are ended for
this world, they do not have ambi-
tions for the future, their life has
been a life of service: and they are
ripe for the grave ready and anxi-
ous to go and to be with him whom
they have served. And 1 have said
to myself, It is well. But when I
stand besdie the casket of this one
just budding into womanhood with
plans for the future with ambition
to make the best of life, with the
brightest prospects before her with
a clean pure undefiled life the very
embodiment of innocence itself,
why she should be cut off at this
untimely hour is more than I can
understand Some will say is it the
working of God. You can say what
you may. teach as you may. but 1
do not believe it- God is just and
righteous algether. Rather was it
the spirit of unrighteousness that
has cut herlife short and hascaused
this awful tragedy But let us look
to the other side of this matter she
has gone you can go to her but she
shall not return to you. "Now
unto this mother and brothers and
sisters and reatlives remember the
shortest verse in all the scripture
often quoted because It is the shor-
test one without thinking what
means It was Jesus at the grave
of Martha and who wept and it
was because they were so sorely
afflicted. Remember that in your
afflictions he shares a part He has
promised he will never leave you
nor forsake you
Put your trust in Him and He
will help you to bear this terrible

NO. 23
Thr Tyro's Lament.
A blooming blistering Tyro lay
dying on the sand.
There was a deartr, of skin upon
his heels, he couldn't even
stand.
But a votary stood beside him as
life blood ebbed away
And bent with fiendish glances to
hear what he might say.
The dying Tyro turned his head
and viewed the sweltering sky.
And said, "Dear Votary, I never
saw the mercury so high."
"Send a message and a token to
some distant friends of mine"
"For 1 was born in Tulsa in 1869."
"Tell my friends and my enemies,
if you ever go that way."
"Of the warmth they will encoun-
ter in the D. 0. K. K.”
"That the tiger's claws are terri-
ble and the goat's too awful
strong"
"And the streets of dear old Tulsa
is the place where they
belong."
"Tell my sweetheart not to worry
with a sorrow too intense,"
"For the way I rode the camel
round was what they call im-
mense."
"Oh, the air is growing thicker and
1 fear my breath will cease.”
"Gee! 1 wish 1 was in Sulphur
where 1 could die in peace.”
"Tell the fellows in the home-land
to remain and have a cinch."
"That what they do for Tyros here
would make a Teddy flinch."
"That I speak as one who’s been
here, scratchin round to find
the goal,”
"Say. the heat is getting hotter, l
could't catch a cold."
"Now. so long," he faintly whisper-
ed, "1 have told you what to
do,"
And he closed his weary eyelids
and vanished p. d. q.
The votary procured an organ box
and C. 0. D.'d the bill
And sent the Tyro home that
night to Sulphur in the hills.

Labor Day for Tulsa.
T. H- Clark, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee, is solicit-
ing Friday for floats to be in the
parade on Labor Day. He says
there will be forty floats represent-
ing different business housesof the
city in the parade. Each of the
unions will have a float, and nearly
all the merchants called on have
signified their intention of being
represented by floats.
The Labor Day Association
met Friday night in the city hall
and looked after the arrangements
for Labor Day. lt is definately
settled that Governor Joseph W.
Folk will be here to deliver the
principal address, says Mr. Clark.
We have the route all planned for
him. He can leave New York and
arrive in Tulsa on the morning of
the third and leave intheafternoon
and arrive at St. Louis the next
morning."
W. E. Decker was in Muskogee
last week conferring with the
unions of that city in regard to a
joint celebration by the unions of
Tulsa and Muskogee to be held
here. Tulsa will then assist in a
grand Labor Day celebration at
Muskogee next year. The Mus-
kogee band probably will be here
and assist the Tulsa band in fur-
nishing music for the day.J
The Carpenters' Union of Mus-
kogee have a fine banner and will
carry it in the parade. A special
train will be run from Muskogee to
this city. The local unions have
guaranteed the visitors they will
be comfortably taken care of while
in the city, and a large number of
them will be taken to the homes
of members while here.
