Puners and Breeders Day. Octo-

one of the momt Instructive to the agri-
cultural interests of Oklahoma, since
the program will be full of things of
vital interest to that class Of spec-
ial Importance will be the addresses of
B. P. Yoakum, chairman of the execu-
tive board of the Rock Island-Frisco
system, and C. S. Barrett of Union City,
Georgia, president of the National
Farmers’ Union, who will speak be-
fore the morning session of the Na-
tional Good Roads Convention on the
second day of its three day meeting
at the Bute Fair. Here are the dates
to remember:
Fanners and Breeders Day, Oct. 5.
Oklahoma Improved Stock Breeders
Convention, Oct. 5-
National flood Roads Convention,
Oct. 4, 5 and 6.
State Fair Dates, Sept. 27 to Oct. •-
Farmers and all good roads enthus-
iasts should make a special effort to
visit the fair on Farmers and Breeders
Day, as good roads movements of vital
importance to the state will be started.
Delegates will come from nearly ever)'
state In the Union, and the day prom-
ises to be the largest in point of at-
tendance at the State Fair. The gov-
ernor of Michigan has named 15>2 dele-
gates.

TLe national convention was held
last year at Topeka. Kan., and the
tendency for the last few years has
been to bold the annual meetings in :
live cities of’ihe west where good
roads agitation is needed the most.
Good roads boosting has become a
live subject with the people of Okla-
homa and enthusiasts are expected to
take advantage of what experts are
saying on the subject.
There will be much to see at the fair
that is worth while. Entries in
all departments are such at this date
that the biggest fair in the history of
the state can be forecasted with cer-
tainty. The Night Horse Show in the
new livestock pavilion from October 3
to 7 will be a winner, a large number
of fancy horeeB having been entered
In both light and heavy classes. Vau-
deville features and band concerts will

- •Now,’ said the doctor, *1 am going 1

opening paragraphs in the very last
story that O. Henry wrote. He com-
pleted St only a few days before his
death and he got the material from
his experiences in seeking relief from
the very illness that was fatal to him.
Like the very last line of one of his J
deep, whimsical stories, were the last
conscious words he said. It was dark
on Sunday morning, and he knew that
he was going. "Turn on the lights, doc-
tor/’ he said, and smiled. "I’m afraid
to go home in the dark.”
The last volume of stories from his

critics, the best short-story writer in

umes, a permanent contribution to the
native literature of this country.
haste that may add further to the
injuries or suffering of the patient.
The seriousness of burns and scalds,
of course, depends upon their extent
and degree. Death Is usually the re-
sult if two-thirds of the body’s sur-
face is affected by only a very slight
burn or If one-third of the surface is
affected by a burn that destroys the
tissues below the skin. Other results
of burns and scalds not fatal are de-
formities caused by destruction of the
tissues and parts and the contraction
of the scar tissue that is formed in
healing, and infection of the part
which may go on to a general blood
poisoning.
Preventive Measures.
As in the treatment of all condi-
tions we should study the preven-
tive measures first. Here are a
i few points
toned. In
oning.
Importance of Cleanliness,
In applying any dressing do not uae
dirty rags or cotton waste as they are
liable to carry germs that may infect
the injured part, and Infection is one
of the conditions that we must try to
avoid. When possible use clean
cloths that have been washed and
Ironed, clean cotton, or best of all,
sterile dressings which can usually
be procured at any drug store. The
systemic effect of burns is to cause
a nervous shock and if at all severe,
the patient must be immediately giv-
en stimulants. Sometimes artificial
respiration is necessary, the method
of which will be given when the treat-
ment for drowning is considered.
Avoid exposing the patient to cold
while removing any of his clothes or
that should be men" j applying dressings. ^ Keep th^body

In the Presence of Death
A peculiar importance attaches to
the words of a dying man, for then all
self-consciousness drops away and the
innermost feelings are laid bare; there
is no further need for the conceal-
ment of what a man may be justly
True Road to Happiness

spring of men s actions; wherever hap-
piness is placed not on what we can
get for ourselves, but on what we can
impart to others; wherever we place

blankets made entirely of wool should
be kept in easily accessible places to
be used to throw over any person
whose clothes may have caught fire.
No persons, especially little children,
should be allowed under any circum-
stances to cover their garments with
1 tie or fruit jar filled with hot water,
or heated bricks, will do. Place these
close to the body under the covers,
but avoid having them come in too
close contact with the body, as often
severe burns have been caused by too
close application of artificial heat by
these means.

Mind's Power Over Body
The mind has power to keep the
body strong and healthy, to renew
life, and to preserve it from decay to ,
a far greater extent than we are apt j
to think.
Look for the Good Points
If you find yourself thinking more
•f the bad points of your friends and j
relatives than of their good ones, just
stop a moment and ask yourself how
you would like people to get into a
habit of doing the same with you?
Then start again right away and do
better next time. Everybody has good
points—try to see them.—Home Chat.
Bushido
Bushido, in a word, is the popular
literature of the mikados realm. It;
includes country theatricals, tales or
story tellers and musical compositions.
It is not only a literature; it Is an l
idea and an ideal. The word means
loyalty, fidelity, devotion and it may-
be expressed in dotens of different
ways.____
Art In the Kitchen
After much meditation and experi-
ence, 1 have divined that it takes as
much sense and refinement and talent
to cook a dinner, wash and wipe a
dish, make a bed and dust a room as
goes to the writing of a novel or
shining in high society.—Rose Terry
Cooke.
Beliefs About Lightning
There is a popular tradition that
lightning will not kill any one who is
asleep. According to one school, the
splinters of a tree struck by light-
ning are an infallible specific for tne
toothache. An amusing superstition
used to be cherished by the boys of
a Yorkshire (Eng.) village, who be-
lieved that if they mentioned the light*
ning immediately after a flash the
seat of their trousers would be torn
out. No boy could be induced to make
the experiment.
Recognized the Movement
It was moving day, and the family
was getting settled down in their new-
home. Little Meribah. aged three, aft-
er watching her father put down the
parlor carpet, w-ent to him and said:
"Papa, won’t you give me the ham-
mer when you get through with it,
so’s I can spank some nails, too?”—
Exchange.
Had to Have His Cigar
There have been many devotees of
the cold cigar. Liszt was one. Mas-
senet says that the abbe could not
play the piano unless he had a cigar
in his mouth. But he did not likht it
or smoke it; he used to eat it. He
would sit down to the instrument with
a big cigar between his teeth and
keep munching ail the time he played.
When the cigar was eaten up the per-
formance closed.
Queer Visiting Cards
The nativea of Korea carry visit-
ing cards which measure about 12
inches square, and when their use is
required they are merely shown.
The results of cold depend more
upon the emergency treatment than
So those of burns. Sudden chilling, of
the body, especially when overheated,
may cause sudden death from a rapid
lessening of the amount of blood in
the brain. Death may also be caused
by the slow effect of cold as in cases
of freezing to death. The local effect
of cold is to lower the resistance of
the part and so favor inflammation
and infection. In some cases where
the tissues have been frozen for some
time they are so nearly killed that
gangrene follows and the part is de-
stroyed.
In order to prevent freezing of the
exposed parts of the body keep the
blood circulating in them by continu-
ous movement and friction by rubbing
and slapping with the hands.
The severe local effect of cold is
known as a frost-bite. The low tem-
perature depresses or slows the ofr-
culation in the part exposed and if this
continues until complete stoppage of
the blood has occurred, the part may
become white and freeze solid.
First Symptoms of Freexlng.
The first symptoms of freezing are
tingling and sharp stabbing pains,
usually of short duration, then numb-
ness and a sense of weight and les-
sened ability to movement. In the
later stages we get less of all sensa-
tion, bleaching of the part and, finally,
hardness of the tissues, and the part
feels cold to the touch.
Restoring the Vitality.
In some cases, even after the par
has been frozen for a considerabl
time, the vitality may be restored in
by proper care and treatment, and. o
Ue other hand, cases where the parU
have not been really frozen may ter-
minate In gangrene on account ot
some unskillful or all-advised treat
ment. The treatment of a frozen part
Is, of course, to thaw It out and re-
store the circulation of the blood In
It This must be dons very slowly by
gently rubbing the part with snow- or
ice or dipping the part in ice water
This should be done in a cold room.
and under no consideration have the
patient brought into a warm room or
stand close to a fire. If the reaction
becomes too great and the part is
greatly swollen, red and hot to the
touch, it should be wrapped in cloths
wet with some rapidly evaporating so-
lution as sugar of lead water and
laudanum, or equal parts of alcohol
and water, and held in an elevated po-
sutlon so as to lessen the amount of
blood to the part.
General Effect of Cold.
The systemic or general effect of
cold upon the body follows a very sim-
ilar course to its effect upon a single
part. There is first pain and uneasi-
ness, then drowsiness and numbness,
and finally unconsciousness, which^
continues until death if the condition
is permitted to progress.
Treatment of the effect of cold upon
the whole body should follow the same
general principles as when only a
small part is affected. The tempera-
ture of the body must be raised very
slowly and the circulation restored
cautiously. As the reaction progresses
stimulants, as black coffee or aromatic
spirits of ammonia, etc., may be given
in small quantities, but not repeated
very often. Later, small quantities of
liquid food, as broths and hot milk,
may be given. Be sure to remember
i to keep the patient out of a warm
room and away from any stove or fire
until reaction has been well estab
lished.
