K. H. writes the "Iiright Sayings of
Children" department of the Chicago
Tribune
Our aunt was extremely fond of
her shepherd dog and missed him so
much when he died that she adopted a
little puppy. The next day Artie went
over to visit her and when he came
home he announced: "Aunt Emma was
so lonesome for Shep that she's start-
ed another dog."
At Least Try It First.
In a collision between an auto and
a load of hay, the driver of the latter
was projected into the village road on
his head and lay there semi-conscious
until two occupants of the more speedy
vehicle lifted him out of the dust and
started to carry him toward the side-
walk.
"Shall we take him into that under-
taker's shop there, or to the drugstore
farther down the street?" asked one
of the burden bearers.
The victim raised his head with
I alacrity and vociferated:
"Take me to the ^—™ -1— "—*■

Something Needed CorkinR-
In the suburbs of Manchestei the.
I is a glue factory from which eman-
j ates a rather obnoxious smell.
A woman who was often obliged
j to pass the factory in traveling to
j and from the city always carried with
11 her a bottle of smelling salts.
11 One morr' ■ an old farmer took
■ [ the seat opposite that occupied by
m the old woman. As the train ap-
: proarhed the factoiy she opened her
: | hottle of salts. Soon the whole enr-
! J l 'a're was filled with the horrible
j odor of the glue. The old farmer
i j stood it as lomr as he could, but at
j ; last he leaned forward and said, po-
j j litely:
"Madam, would you mind putting
| j the cork in that bottle?"—Picked Up.

Keep Peeping Around.
Clara Smith says, according to on
of these "human interest" lad-
porter stories, that she hasn't yet
found any church that exactly . iis
her way of thinking. we under-
stand it, she hasn't I <■« working over-
time during the n last few years look-
ing for church connections. She might
keep peeking around. Maybe some-
thing as strange as what she is look-

Never Touched Us.
The Shawnee News can find some
of the funniest stuff in its dream hook.
Listen to this from a recent issue:
It remained for Ok1 ih nn t i
present a literal inter io.i >f
Arkansas proverb: ICeUli 'em
young, treat 'em rough, tell 'em
nuthin'."
We lived in Arkansas a good many
years of our sweet young life, and
we never heard of this cave-man in-
junction until we read it in the col-
umns of a newspaper edited by a
former Ohioan. That didn't start in
Arkansas. Do some more sleuthing,
Bro. Spaulding, do some more sleuth-

Those Simple Okmulgeepns.
A petition signed by 834 citizens
of Okmulgee has been circulated for
a change in the form of government
in Okmulgee from the commission to
the managerial form. Those simple-
minded Okmulgeeans evidently haven't
been about much. But go ahead. In
a year or two you can get another
petition signed by all those and 834
more to change back or something
As l'a Saw It.
A teacher in a primary grade was
j using her most ingratiating manner
(to make the subject of physical geo-
j graphy attractive to her pupils.
J§ j "Now, can anyone tell me what
]j shape the world is?" she pursued hir
g | Socratic method.

11! unfurled to the summons.

Mil father says it's in a hell of a shape."

Investigation of the mine disaster
in which ten mer were killed last

TAYLOR-GARNER.
J. D. Garner and Miss Pearl Taylor
j were married last Saturday afternoon
' at Wilburton, the Rev. Crenshaw,
pastor of the Presbyterian church at
that place, officiating.
Mrs. Gamer is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. D. Taylor of McAlester,
j She has been an employee of the Mc-
I Alester Trust Company for some time
1 and ir quite popular with the young-
er set of McAlester.
Mr. Garner is the son of Mrs. A.
M. Brown of this city. He was reared
in our midst, attending the local
school, and has a host of friends in
the city.
They will make their home in Wil-
burton, where Mr. Gamer is employ-
ed as bookkeeper for a gin company.
The Chronicle joins their many
friends in extending congratulation,
and wishes for them a life of con-
tinued happiness and success.—Kiowa
Chronicle.
Kansas farmers are said to be
holding more than 50 percent of last
season's wheat crop, ir about 77,-
000,000 bushels, as a result of the
low price of the cereal. At the same
time last year they were holding only
about 35 percent of the crop and the
preceding year, on this date, they
were holding only 11 percent.
All of which indicates that the
farmer is some punkins himself when
he gets right down to business on the
holding end of the game. If the cot-
ton farmers stand by their product
with the same determination they will
either get a better price for the pro-
duct or else they will prove that all
the old theories about glutting the
market are more fallacies.
The Guarantee State Bank at Sper-
ry, near Tulsa, was robbed Tuesday
by three unmasked bandits and $3,
000 taken. Two more men are be-
lieved to have stood guard on
outside.
