I bought the bed amid
iaudits of the crowd, and the strong-
expressed wish from a red-shirted
j—ff^mborer that I should lie down and

roomM dealer proceeded to do it up.
He made a very small parcel con-
in pr#dering it was a bed.

urnlshM DisS sted, I waited for the next,
Gentacd endeavored to make the bed look
y_: ills small as possible.
80* The car stopped, so I got in.
Of course it started before I was
one fSeated, so over I fell, knocked off a
Woman's bonnet, doubling up a fat
°tms man, and almost annihilating a small
"a roo#y with mybed-
$2 ea<| As for the bed, there was a sound of
14 W 'rumbling in its complicated machin-
To71Jy, and with a snap it flew open, dis-
sieepclosing a chair.
rn; Ph(|: How in the world was I going to
looms It int0 a bed aKain?
jgSome of the passengers laughed,
furni-while the fat man grew sarcastic.
B. i)th. i „H'm;" g!-0wled he; "wonder what
•ivate people will carry in cars next! I sup-
se I can expect to get into one
ime day and find a piano or a mow-
machine. Some people haven't
any sense."
At last, though, I reached my house
and got in, only breaking the gate
with my bed as I did so.
My wife opened the door.
"Where in the name of goodness did
you buy that horse block, and what
are you going to do with it?" she
asked.
I indignantly replied that it was
not a horse block.
It was a chair.
Also it could be made into a bed,
or a sofa, at will.
After patient study and research I
found the directions for working the
bed concealed in a most undiscovera-
ble spot, and turned the chair into a
bed. Then I turned the bed into a
sofa, and the sofa back again into a
chair.
My wife was delighted.
I began to believe I had made a
domestic hit, and expatiated upon my
great head in discovering and purchas-
ing such a marvel of mechanism and
general utility.
Aunt Hespah had arrived, and she
joined us in examining the bed.
"Lord a mercy! what next, I won-
der?" she said. "Turn it into a bed,
Edward."
Edward did.
Aunt Hespah must lie down and
try it.
Just here came the catastrophe.
How it occurred I don't know, but the
fiendish bed got independent and
started to work itself into a chair
without orders.
But Aunt Hespah was in the way.
The result was she was caught like
a mouse, McGilder's beautiful inven-
tion clasping her as affectionately as
a young fellow would his sweetheart.
Aunt Hespah gave a yell loud
enough to stop a clock, and began
reeling about the room, with McGild-
er's patent charging on her.
"Take it off! Take it off!" bawled
she; "it's a-squeezin' me to death.
Lord a mercy, I'll die if somebody
don't take away this dratted ma-
chine!"
I sprang to her rescue.
But I could not get the bed off un-
aided.
The result was we had to lay Aunt
Hespah upon the floor, and cut the
bed off with an ax. And by the time
it was accomplished she was about
half-dead.
My wife, however, will not speak to
me.
She persisted in believing that I de-
liberately invented the bed myself for
the sole purpose of killing Aunt Hes-
pah, and that my tale of the purchase
was a barefaced fiction. I tell you
what—men never know how much
i'un they can have till they get mar-
ried.
For home news—the Pointer has n

continued progresslveness of Oklahoma

NORB RESULTS.
"I could have rented a half dozen
more houses, and they are still calling,"
said V. O. Hyde, of 1009 E. Seventh, who
advertised a house for rent in the
Pointer. It is such results as this—■
and satisfied patrons everywhere that

who was arrested last Saturday, charg-
ed with threatening to kill his wife, is

rary peace, and he will perhaps be

Catalogue
ISSUED
The Daily Pointer is pelased to ac-
knowledge the receipt of a handsome
47-page catalogue issued by the Okla-
homa College for Young Ladies. It is
a carefully prepared piece of work
beautifully illustrated and contains in-
formation in detail telMng of the many
advantages offered by this school.
According to the announcement the
next session begins the second Wednes-
day in September, with George C. Jones
president.
"The Oklahoma College for Young
Ladies is non-sectarian," says Mr
Jones. "But strictly Christian in all of
its work, and we solicit the patronage
of the public upon the merits of the
school. The policy of the management
is not to operate the cheapest, but the
very best school of its kind on the
state.."
The course of study outlined is the
same usually offered by a well regu-
lated institution of higher learning, be-
sides, however, many special branches
of study are maintained. Such as mu-
sic, school of expression and physical
training, etc. A commercial course and
photography is also studied.
The faculty is composed of the fol-
lowing: Miss Virginia Graves, Miss
Minnie E. Puntenney, G. C. Jones, Mrs.
M. Pearson, Mrs. J. S. Hawkins, Chas.
J. Wallace, Wm. L Martin, H. C. Wat-
ton, Mrs. G. C. Jones.
In conclusion the Pointer wishes to
say that the Oklahoma College for
Young Ladies is a home institution;
backed by home people, and should
be liberally patronized by home people.
Therefore we would suggest that any
young women of the city desiring high-
er education investigate the advanta-
ges of this school.
