GREAT COLLEGE
OF PRACTICAL ART
AS VIEWED BY REV. WILLMOORE
KENDALL ON A RECENT
VISIT.
The whole world has marvelled at
the rapidity with which the great
new state of Oklahoma has organiz-
ed and equipped a magnificent sys- i
TWO HOME WOMEN TALKED
ABOUT HAIR.
Two women met in our store the
other day, when one of them said:
"My, how pretty your hair looks!
What have you been doing to it?"
"Why, I have been using Harmony
Hair Beautifier for the past two
weeks," was the reply.
"Why, indeed!'' replied the first
woman, "that is Just what 1 am us-
ing, Isn't it great, and don't you
think my hair shows a lot of im-
provement?''
Harmony Hair Beautifier is becom-
j i ing all the rage among both men
tem of public instruction; but - . .
.. „ land women who are particular in the
somet n;es wonder if we, who live | \
i care of their hair. It is just what
within the state, appreciate so fully
as outsiders have done the vastness
of our achievement in this direction.
It was my privilege recently to spend
a day and a half in the beautiful
little city of Stillwater which is the
home of our state Agricultural and
Mechanical College, and it was Willi
mingled feelings of wonder and pleas-'
ed surprise that I observed the
campus, buildings, equipment and
clasE-room work of that i;reat insti-
tution of learning. I found that the
college comprised twenty-seven build-
ings. most of them elegant structures
of wood and stone, scattered over
broad and ample grounds. These
buildings were unusually well suit-
ed to serve the specific purposes for
which they were designed.
By a piece of peculiar good for-
tune, it chanced that my visit fell
upon Thursday, the day of the week-
ly chapel exercise at the college. I
was thus privileged to witness the
assemblage cf the entire student
body, a fine company of nearly one
thousand representative young peo-
ple from all parts of our noblei, com-
monwealth. It seemed incredible
that in these few years of its exist-
ence our A. and M. College should
have built up a bedy of students one-
sixth as large as that of our great-
est eastern universities. In the
moments which preceded the open
ing of the service, the various class-
es, from subfreslunen to seniors, gave
their respective yells in genuine col-
lege style. Then, led by the college
orchestra, all united in the '.singing
of an old hymn which was followed
by a simple and suggestive devotion-
al service, led by the pastor of the
local United Brethren Congregation.
I was impressed and gratified hj
the hush of reverence and awe which
.brooded over the student body
throughout the devotions, and which
contrasted agreeably with the whis-
pering indifference which I have
been pained to observe in the chapel
services of the great universities of
the North and East. Following the
devotional service, President Connell
briefly addressed the students. He
was a man of quiet dignity, and
his words were simple, wholesome,
and practical. Following Doctor
Connell, Doctor Watson, head of the
school of vocal music at the college,
rendered a beautiful arrangement oi
Tennyson's "Come into the Garden
Maud," and responded to an en-
chore with a charming little Irish
L ballad.
My limited time permitted me 'o
visit but two classes, that in public
speaking, taught by Professor .1.
Emerson Nigh, and that in Journal-
ism, under the instruction of Profes-
sor Barrett, head of the English de
partment. After spending two years
In the famous Cumnock School of
Oratory at Evanston, I think 1 may
speak with a degree of confidence
concerning Professor Nigh's work
and I do not hesitate to pronounce
it to be of an exceptionally high
order. Doctor Barretts' class in journ-
alism was a cheering and refreshing
experience. On the morning of m>
visit, the class was occupied with the
study of editorial writing, and the
dominant note of the hour's instruc-
tion was an appeal for absolute ad-
herence to the truth in all news-
paper work. Inaccurate statements
were to be shunned as the fang of a
serpent, and as I listened to Profes-
sor Barrett's earnest demand for
the truth, the whole truth, and noth-
ing but the truth in all journalistic
■work, I could not escape the con-
viction, that in him, the student had,
not only a teacher of high scholar-
ship, but also a devoted spiritual
guide and a loyal friend, worthy
the utmost trust.
I was glad to observe that Pitts-
burg county and our own little city
have this year a good representative
In the A. and M. student body. It
iB to be hoped that this representa-
tion may grow constantly larger, and
that from yeur to year, this great
educational institution shall send an
increasing number of trained young
lives back into the stream of our
local citizenship.

Easley was arrested and
in the city bastile Monday
morning for shooting at officers Tom
Whiting and Jim Berry the other
•light. Whiting and Berry were
standing at the front gate at the
Easley place, having gone there in
response to complaints of alleged dis-
turbing the peace, when Easley 's
said to have come around the comer
of the house and open fire upon
them, shooting three or four times
in rapid succession and then dodged
back behind the house and left the
premises. The trial was set for Wed-
nesday morning in Justice Johnson s
court, counsel from McAlester hav-
ing been employed to defend Easley,
and the lawyers were here ready for
the trial, but the prisoner had "flew
de coop" and wsb no where to be
found when, the case was called, and
dilligent search falleu to disclose his
whereabouts. Andy Gonyer, guard
at the city Jail, had let Easley out to
go to breakfast and he forgot to re-
turn. Easley was sent up for rob-
bery, and was out on parole.
GORE VERDICT,
"We, the jury empaneled in the case entitled Minnie E. Bond vs.
Thomas Pryor Gore, find that the evidence is insufficient upon which to
predict a suit, and that said evidence wholly exonerates the defendant,
Thomas Pryor Gore; and we further find that in our opinion, the facts in
the case were entirely insufficient upon which to base a suit; and we un-
animously state that at the conclusion of the plaintiff's evidence had the
defendant at that time announced that he desired to introduce no evidence
in his behalf and rested his case, our Verdict would have been the same,
in that event as the one which was returned by its, to-wit, in favor of the
defendant, Thomas Pryor Gore. In witness whereof each of us individually
signs this statement."

WHISKEY CORSET. LATEST
FAD AMONG DOOTLESGERS
Form Fitting Jacket Uted by Both
Saxet to Carry Uquor.
The latest fad in bootleg society
is the twenty-nine-quart jacket and
the sixteen-pint corset. This is a
style for both men and women. The
Jacket is designed for masculine con-
cealment of boo'.e p.nd the corset ans-
wers the same purpose for the i'e-
male of the species.
The federal prohibition enforcement
officers at Muskogee have a new de-
sign in the jacket, which apparently
is the very latest out. It was found
in a trunk full of whisky that was
confiscated. The jacket is worn by
a person who must be of athletic
build to stand the weight and not
too stout.
It is made of canvas doubled and
sewed with stout thread into com-
partments just the size of a quart
of whisky. The garment is put on
over the head, for which a hole is
cut, and fits around the body. Then
each compartment is filled with a
quart of whisky.
Over this the bootlegger draws on
a .complete outfit of clothing from
undergarments out, all a dozen sizes
too large for him, but filled out by
the whisky jacket until he becomes
a fine example of "after taking."
He Is a good example of a fat
man and is just as innocent looking.
The deputy marshals say that a lean
man with a whisky jacket on cannot
be told from a bona-fide fat man
without a personal inspection, and
most fat men object to that. The
corset (s used on the same principle
and with the same effect except that
it Is on a smaller scale.

ed to bold prayer meeting. A testi-
mony service was in progress, when

given her a talent and that she did
not intend to fcnry that talent," when
she was suddenly stricken with para-
lysis or heart failure. Throwing her
hands high above her head, she fell
back upon the floor. Deuilt resulting

ORGANIZING TENNIS CLUB.
Messrs. Clarence Willis and Rufus
James are planning the organization
of a tennis club. In fact that they
have already received sufficient en-
couragement to Insure the perfection
of the organization of a club of up-
wards of thirty odd members. The
plan under consideration is to lease
sufficient grounds for two courts on
the Rock Island right-of-way Bouth
of the track and east of 10th street,
which will bo enclosed with wire
fencing and fixed np in "apple pie"
Bhape. Hartshorne boasts of some
pretty fair tennis players, and doubt-
less out of this large club there will
develop some talent that, will con-
test for honors at the next state
meet. The club will be composed of
some of the bent citizens of the town
and The Sun Is authorized to state
that In case any games are played
SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
One of the features of the present-
day school systems that is fust gain-
ing a sure place in educational work
Is the use of talking machines in
connection with the instruction in
music and games. By means of one
of the machines children are given
the opportunity of hearing songs by
Belba and Caruso, instrumental music
by Victor Herbert's orchestra or
Sousa's band, and readings and
speeches by the leading reciters and
speakers of the day. The local
schools have arranged with the
agents of the Victrola company for
the purchase of one of their ma-
chines of the type designed specially
for use in schools. In order to raise
funds for the purchase of this instru-
ment an entertainment will be given
in the high school auditorium on Fri-
day, February 27th, at which an ad-
mission fee of ten and twenty-five
cents will be charged. The program
will consist of songs, drills and reci-
tations by the children and music by
the Victrola. A special representative
will be present with a number of
high-class records; and these, to-
gether with the efforts of the chil-
dren, should furnish a highly enjoy-
able evening. It Is hoped that the
people of Hartshorne will help this
good cause with their accustomed
liberality and thus aid in the effort
to put their schools on a plane equal
to that of the best city systems of
the land.

The Sun man dropped in at the of-
fice of Charley Hefley, our genial

to the state auditor's report, he en-
joys the distinction of scoring the
highest record for efficiency of any
clerk In the state. This is a record
of which he has juBt cause to be
proud, and incidentally Pittsburg

be a candidate for re-election and a
little later will make his formal an-
sure. The fellow that beats Hefley
will have to go some.
