This, however, is a digression,
but one which seemed to reason-
ably intrude itself. The original
proposition stands good as gold.

democracy and the legions of em-

in a death-grapple for the politi-

Examines the Seat of His Breeches.
We know a farmer philosopher
who makes it a point to carefully
examine the seat of the trousers
of any and every applicant for a
job under his jurisdiction, before
accepting or rejecting his servi-
ces.
Sounds ridiculous, you may
think, but there is a big nugget
of wisdom involved. He declares
he has no use for a man with a
hole in the seat of his pantaloons,
said posterior rent being, in the
opinion of our agrestic friend, an
infallible proof that such individ-
ual is altogether too prone to do
business with this part id’ his at-
tire to permit him to make u good
hand. Such a person sits too
much for the good of his health
or the integrity of his breeches,
and he argues not unreasonably
in the premises that a man given
over to an infatuation for a cush-
ioqed seat or a soft plank or even Cause of Headache.

And his family are not stuck
up a bit. A brother is a letter
carrier at $*0 a year, and a sister
sells eggs and butter and like
helpful commodities, and all wear
heavy, heelless shoes and go with-
out bonnets on the woman side
of the house, anti without tailor
toggery on the man side, and the
Pope himself has decided that his
holiness can stand the shock of
eating Jiis frugal dinner in com-
pany. He is a primary sort of
man of the Lincoln-Loubet peas-
ant-stripe human. He’s inher-
ently big enough and clean en-
ough to contemn luxury and dis-
play and strong enough to dis-
cern and cleave unto eternal ver-
ity.
Cured Consumption.
Mrs. B. W. Evans, Clearwater, Kin.,
write*: “My husband lay rick for
three months. The doctor Raid that he
had quick consumption. We procured
a bottle of Ballardr’a llorehoutul Syrup,
and it cured him. That whs six years
ago. Since then we have always kept a
tiottle in the house. We cannot do with-
out it. For coughs and colds it has no
equal. Sold at Smith's drug store. 25e,

tor in his district, honored us with a

C. F. Hacklcberry of Tonkawa, was

matters of business.
L. Teaehman and J. D. Miller of Day-
ton, took in Billings on Friday. On a

W. B. Holmes of Perry, teaching in
the Compton district, spent Saturday
and Sunday in town, a guest of the
Rock Island,
Meii White and H. L. Smith, of Des
Moines, rame in Friday, and left forthe
North by way of Perry Opdylke’s trot-
ters and Ponkawa Friday evening. Be-
ing on a land hunting tour they will re-
turn again and do business.
N. M. Faralet, a farmercitizen living
a fow miles from Billings on the sun-
rise side, left Friday via Morris’s equine
express for Perry, from whence after a
short stop he departed for Illinois for aa
extended visit with relatives.
Messrs. Whelan and Scott have been
engaged the past week hauling their
wheat to Perry. Mr. Whelan was iu to
tee ns a few days ago and reports mat-
ters O. K. ali along the line, but we in-
cline to guess that these horny handed
agricultural veterans and expert mule
whackers slowed-up in transportation
this week and put in over-time eating
ranch fixins and figuring on inveatment
of the proceeds of next year’s cereal
output,
On October 18th Thos. MoClements'
and A. M. Armstrong, bankers of Ris-
ing Sun, Iowa, arrived via Enid for a
few days visit here with J. A. McKee
and family. From here they went to
Oklahoma City, and soon alter going
there Mr. Armstrong became indisposed
and thought it best to return home, and
started at once for Iowa, but he died be-
fore reaching home and on the train on-
ly thirty miles from liis destination.
We presume no one will insist that in
this section of Oklahoma nastier, wet-
ter, finer, fertiler weather ever occurred
than whin we have enjoyed or endured
or botli the past week, beginning the
latter part of last week and running up
to Tuesday morning, when the north-
east drizzle slowed up, apparently out
of breath and the thriee-glorioua sun-
shine once more flooded the world. We
hope our youngsters who are cutting
their literary eye-teeth, aa well as pur-
ists in general into whose handH these
presents shall come greeting, will not
feel hurt over our use of the word ‘fer-
tiier.’ William Dean Howells wouldn’t
use it and little bok, who manufactures
editorial flapdoodle for the Ladies Home
Journal, would go into fits at sight of it.
Carlyle thought such terms eminently
proper, and old Thomas is good enough
for us.
The development of Enid as a city is
very strongly illustrated by the fact
that many people come here from out-
side towns for treatment by specialists.
On last Saturday Dr. S. M. Jenkins,
the well-known eye, ear, nose and throat
specialist, had six patients, each from a
different town, from which they had
come by rail, all sitting in his office
at a time waiting their jturn for treat-
ment. In the number were twoon whom
operations had been performed. Oue
patient had a tumor removed from the
throat and anottier a bony growth from
the nose. Some of the patients are yet
here and will be for sometime to come,
while others will return from time to
time for treatment. Sucii institutions
as that of Dr. Jenkins are a great bene-
fit to the city m various wuys. The visi-
tors have to spend money for personal
expenses, snd they also take advantage
of the opportunity to make purchases
from the merchants. Enid is to be con-
gratulated on having a specialist whose
ability in his profession attracts so many
people ut u distance.

“Consumption runs in our family, and

E.B.Reid of Harmony, Me. “For the

est sign of a Cough or Cold, I have taken
