IF I were kissing I'd not be missing
The Miss who's Number One.
She's so Inviting that while I'm
writing
I really want to run
And give her one resounding smack—
And maybe I would not come back.
II.
MISS Number Two is a maiden who is
Delightful as the first,
And where she's standing she seems
demanding
A real diamond burst
Of osculation rich and rare
Upon her lips, her eyes, her hair.
III.
THE girl in the middle is quite a
riddle.
I cannot solve her thought.
To me she seemeth a maid who dreameth
Of kisses, as she ought.
I'd love Gn that chair arm to sit
And find If she away would flit.
IV.
THERE'S no debating that this one's
waiting
For some one's lips to meet
Her own, though surely she stands demurely.
Now, don't you think ber sweet?
You notice she has closed her eyes.
So any one might steal the prize.
V.
A SAUCY maiden, not overladen
With shyness. Number Five.
She looks so wiKtofl I'd bet a shil-
ling
She wouldn't duck nor dive.
They're all beyond my reach, and yet 1
I'd like to kiss the whole quintet.

RAINFALL SATURDAY
2.06 INCHES AT ENID
more of a dairy state every year,
and hundreds of dairymen will reap
rich returns from the recent rain.
Soaker All Over Oklahoma Which
Assures Croi> Prospects of the
Future.
The soaking rain which fell all
flay Saturday in a steady downpour
Was the best and most satisfying
recorded in Enid this year and was
the heaviest since April IB, 1910,
when more than three inches fell in
about two hours. All told, Enid ha J
2.06 inches of rain within twenty-
four hours, and all of Oklahoma nor-
thern and central Texasj southeast-
ern and eastern Kansas and western
Arkansas were "in the swim," the
precipitation varying from 1.1 inches
p.t Kansas City, Mo., to 4 inches at
Aniline, Texas.
The rains were heaviest in cen-
tral, southwestern and northern Ok-
lahoma, the portions of the state
which were most In need of moisture.
Up until this time, northwestern and
J fjfoutheastern Oklahoma had received
'more rain than the remainder of the
State, but the present rain almost
equalized things- The downpour waa
steady and of the sort that soak* In
flnd helps the country; not one pre-
cious drop was wasted.
While the wheat acreage is some-
what less than two years ago, the
present rain will practically make a
crop greater than that of 1910,
when Oklahoma produced nearly
twenty-five million bushels of the
golden grain. It is probable that a
little more wheat will also be plant-
ed in the extreme southern portion
Of the state, bue very little.
Pasturage will also be benefitted
to an enormous extent and the two
Inches and more of rain will cause
alfalfa and bermuda to grow suffi-
ent for betted winter pasturage,
lie ranges will be improved and the
od, stady downpour means much
■to the livestock Interests of the
.iftate.
(V; The many ponds, built by the
farmers of Oklahoma during the past
year, will have received a goodly .por-
tion of water before the present
Jains have ceased, and few mora
(tains will fill them. Farmers can
also get out now and plow to their
Hearts' content, turning under the
Vegetable products now standding
iBnd thus making excellent natural
fertilizers for the soil.
f Dairy cattle will be turned out
into the fields of growing wheat all
Jfrver the state, and the green, nu-
tritious shoots will make that fancy,
fellow butter which is In wtth- dtr
■land for high-priced consumption.

CHINA RENDS
THE DRAGON
For centuries China has been
bound in political slavery. So op-
pressed and benighted were the
masses that it seemed as If they
could never' arise to claim their
birthright of freedom. But China
has awakened. In a patriotic and
cultured subject, Dr. Sun Yat Sen,
she found a deliverer from the rule
of the Manchus, and the people have
thrown off the folds of the Imperial
dragon which had almost destroyed
them. From London has come pri-
vate advices that Dr. Sun, a scholar
and diplomat well known in Lon-
don New York and Paris, is to be-
come president of the.first provisional
government now being established
at Shanghai, the capital of the Re-
public of China, and that by the
first of the year the new govern-
ment will be fully established.. The
old China has all but passed away,
and in its place has come a new re-
public with a constitution promising
liberty, Justice, self government and
brotherly love. The change is al-
most too groat to credit/ Dr. Sun
promised that all foreign rights
shall be fully respected, and foreign
enterprises will be encouraged. He
appeals to the Powers to permit the
solid establishment of the new gov-
ernment, declaring that the Chinese
will never submit to the retaining of
power by the Manchus.

Guthrie, Okla., De*\ 12.—The
United States attorney's office here
today was notified that the circuit
court of appeals has decided the case
of the United States Express com-
pany vs. Friedman, et aj. involving
the right of express companies
since statehood to accept liquor for
shipment into old Indian territory,
which under the Oklahoma enabling
act must remain dry for 21 years.
The decision holds that the fed-
eral liquor laws governing old II.
dian territory prior to statehood are
still in force, and express companies
are liable under the federal laws if
they transport liquor into that, sec-
tion.
This means that old Indian terri-
tory is to be absolutely dry. The
United State express company refus-
ed to accept liquor at Ft. Smith for
shipment to old Indian teritory
I joints and wan mandamused bv
Judge Rogers of Ft. Smith to ac^
cept it. The company then appealed
,to the federal coijrj pf appeals.
