Iowa has eight different kinds of
Republicans, but they are all after
the same kind of jobs.
Seme people try to find an ex-

It is asserted that the price of

There has been a neck-and-neck
race between the pure food bill and
a pure statehood bill, and they are

When Judge Parker talks of a
southern man for president, the
Hon. Joe Bailey, of Texas, sits up
and takes notice._
Speaker Cannon must have en-
joyed reading Andy Hamilton's re-

Andrew Carnegie seems to have
made a favorable impression on
Richmond, Va. They may be won-

A review of President Roose-

It may be all right for Mr. Car-
negie to attempt to reform our
spelling, but the country is more
concerned in the effort to reform
our politics.
With all of his millions it is said
that John D. Rockefeller is unhap-
py. No doubt this is true, for wealth
does not always make one happy:
there are other things in life that
tend to true happiness.
Well, the city election is over
and the hatchet seems to be about
buried, and hopes are that with
good city officials the business,
push, and progress of our city will
be better, and much and larger
things will be accomplished.
In 1805 the world had not a
single steamer upon the ocean,
a single mile of railway on land, a
single span of telegraph upon the
continents, or a foot of cable be-
neath the ocean. In 1905 it has
over 18.000 steam vessels, 500,-
000 miles of railway and more than
1,000.000 miles of land telegraph,
while the very continentsare bound
together and given instantaneous
communication by more than 200,-
000 miles of ocean cables, and the
number of telephone messages sent
aggregate 6,000 millions annually,
one-half of them being in the
United States alone. The world's
international commerce which a
single century ago was less than
two billions of dollars, is now 22
billions, and the commerce of the
Orient, which was less than 200
million dollars, is now nearly 3.000
millions. — National Geographical
Magazine.
‘ Matter of tqaiiibrium.
Dr. Torrey. the E-glish evangel-
ist wno w^s recently cor.Guctir.£
meetings in the west. is a man of
ready wit. wh;ch he uses with ef-
fect when interrupted while speak-
ing. On or.e occasion in London
a bibulous fellow arose ard an-
nounced waveringly. that he d>d
not te.ieve everything n the B;ole.
"1 don't see how anybody can
walk on water.” he declared. Can
you do it Dr. Torrey?"
The preacher looked grimly at
the man for a moment, and then
answered:
"Well. 1 can walk on water better
than I can on rum."—Harper's
Weekly.
A historical article concerning
the Ancient Order of United Work-
men appears in the April number
of Sturm's Statehood Magazine.
It is well illustrated, containing
among the pictures one of the
last meeting of the Grand Lodge
at Tulsa.
Advertising that Fa>s
One of the most notable examples of
tl.- fa t that ar.d intelligent
advertising pays and pays well, is
seen in the large volume of “want”
advertisements that appear daily in
the Oklahoman. That paper regularly
prints from seven to ele\<-neolumns of
small classified ads. and this remark-
able advertising patronage lias been
built up in the past two or three years
almost solely by the liberal use of
printer's ink in the same pa|>er. In
almost any is,ue you "ill see a small
card or a few lint s of locals calling
the attention of the people to Okla-
homan Want Ads. The proprietors j
of tie- Oklahoman certainly believe in
taking their own medicine.
The ads come from almost every
town in the two territories and it is
not unusual to see ads from twenty
different states. The large number of
these ads and the fact that they come ;
from all classes of people ill all local-
ities shows that the general public
lias learned to advertise whatever it
lias to sell, or for anything it wants
and the ails must accomplish results j
or they would not continue. The
catchy jingle, “Three lines, three
times, three dimes,” is known all over
the territory.
Names.
At a wedding at Poplar, England,
the bride’s name was Wedlock, and
the bridegroom's was Marriage. Now,
what do you say to that! Truly, the
populations increase and nomencla-
ture runs low.—Boston Herald.

Photographs Kite Birds.
The kite, acoerrling to the ornltho-
ogical authorities, is declared to be
•xtlnct and it is practically so. But
\ gl ance committee has neverthe-
V ;s 1 ■ - n formed in Wales for the
irotet t : -tl nf the bird. A photograph-
-r recently traced one of the only
lairof kites known to exist in South
'Vales to a cave in the mountains and
with a lucky snai shot secured a photo-
graph. Tie- hon < o! the pair is being
kept a secret.
Woman's Vision Aided Justice.
There has seldom been a more mys-
terious crime than the murder of Mr.
Stockden, a London vietualer, a great
many years ago. and the mystery
would have remained unsolved to this
day had it not been for the interven-
tion of a Mrs. Greenwood, who came
forward with the statement that the
murdered man had appeared to her in
a dream and had conducted her to a
house in Thames street, where one of
tils assassins was to he found; while
in another dream Stockden appeared
and showed her the likeness of the
man. O11 the strength of this dream
clue the man indicated was arrested,
and not only confessed his guilt, lint
betrayed his accomplices—three crimi-
nals being brought to the scaffold as
the result of these visions of the
night.
CHARACTERISTIC OF RACE.
Jews Kxhlhit it ltt-in irkulile Tnmrlty of
Life.
The Jew betrays an absolutely un-
precedented tenacity of life, it far ex-
ceeds that of any other known people.
This we may Illustrate by the follow-
ing example. Suppose two groups of
100 infants each, one Jewish, one of
average American parentage, to be
born on the same day. In sptte of the
disparity of social conditions in favor
of the latter, the chances, determined
by statistics, are that one-half of the
American children will die within 47
years, while the first half of the Jews
will not succumb to disease or accident
before the expiration of 71 years. The
death rate is really but little over half
that of the American population. This
holds good In infancy as in middle age.
\r, of 1.000 Jews born, 217 die before
the age of 7 years, while 453 Christian*
—more than twice as many—are likely
to die within the same period.

Oil Poured From Vessel Made a Min-
iature Millpond.
‘‘I am one of the few tourists,” he
said, “who ever saw the sea oiled in
a storm. I'll tell you how they did it.
“The oil was stored in big zinc
tanks, where it served a ballast. It
only c t a c ut or so a gallon, for it
was refuse, a mixture of whale oil,
vegetable oil and petrel- am.
“When ihe burnt: - ‘truck us and
the shiii was like to f under in the
surging, bulling :• . j the captain
turned a valve and thr : h sluices
on either aide of the s' ip -ome fifty
or sixty gallons of oil . out upon
the sea.
“The effect was like : glc. The
oil made a prismatic s; in over the
welter tr, a'! sides. Tbe foam disap-
peared. We floated ir> a millpond
about 200 yards square and without
this dark calm millpo.td roared the
white sea.
“It only took about two minutes for
all this to happen. •
“We sailed onward. The rocking
reased. The seasick ’ v« '. . lis of
relief. For a half hour tie il slaved
with us. a solid skin of bc;.u:!’ il hues.
Then it broke up and sailed away in
patches of every size.
“The storm raged two hours. We I
oiled the sea four times. It was an
odd experience.”

writes original comedies that rarely
pay their way.
"These two men met the other day
and at once began to talk shop.
"Rlter. the plagiarist, declared that |
his latest farce, l ittle Bo Peep,’ was
having r.n extraordinary success.
"‘And an English mat seer has put
it on in Liverpool, too.’ he ended, 'and
it is having a superb run there, hut the
Englishman hasn't yet forwarded me
n cent of royalties.'
"‘It Is also having a superb run at
the Odeon in Paris,' said Swett. 'Have
you received any royalties from
there?' ”
College Girl's Odd Recovery of
Friend’s Lost Pin.
"This is a tiny bit of a world after
all,” said the Smith College alumna
who had just returned from a trip
abroad. “At the last reunion of my
class, three years ago, one of the girls
was bemoaning the loss of her Smith
pin, which she said had disappeared
while she was in Italy the preceding
summer. She said she would get an-
other some time, but it would never
seem like the first one.
“Now, you know the Smith pin is a
very odd design, which can never he
mistaken, and when I was in Switzer-
land a month ago I was surprised to
see a maid at ottr hotel wearing a
Smith pin. I questioned her and she
said her sweetheart had found it in
Naples when he was there on a visit
and had given it to her. She readily
consented to taking it off. and on the
back I found the name of my friend—
you know 1 very pin has Ps owner's
name on the back. I offered her a dol-
lar for it ard she thought that was a
great tb my, for st said she didn’t
think the pin very pretty.
“Maybe rr.y fri r. 1 wasn't glad to
get It back! But I can't help think-
ing it was an odd fate (bat led me
to that hotel, for it was a hostelry
little .visited by the majority of trav-
elers."—New York Press.
