" 'I just love red burlap for the din-

her reply.
"That was good enough for him,
and he filed his caveat then and

"I think," concluded the amateur
sociologist, "that these few random
cases which I quote, the results, as I
say, of careful investigation along this
line, clearly indicate that the flab-
dubbish junk as to declarations and
proposals set down in the fiction books
simply does not go. They don't kneel,
they don't claw the air, they don't
crawl on their stomachs. They just
ask them like sensible human beings.
They're glad if they get 'em, and they

VETERANS
WILL PARTAKE OF INAUGURAL
FESTIVITIES — INVITATION IS-
SUED.
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 11.—A commit-
tee of old soldiers composed of T. H.
Soward, W. B. Herod, J. C. Jamison,
L. F. Laverty and T. S. Jones issued
the following circular to all the sur
vivors of the civil war, both blue
and gray:
"November 16th, 1907, at high noon,
occurs the inaugural of Governor-
elect C. N. Haskell, the first governor-
elect of the new state of Oklahoma
and the marriage ceremony of Okla-
homa and Indian Territory.
"It is the Fourth of July of the new
state. It is a time when patriotism
should reign supreme and partisanship
should be relegated for this occasion
"It is in harmony with the progress
and intellectual growth of the present
civilization, that the veterans of the
late civil war, should take a prominent
part in the exercises of this day.
"The undersigned duly appointed
a imittee, therefore, hereby invite all
sui v ivors of the civil war to be present
on that day and take part in the exer-
cises attending the inaugural sere-
mony.
"Please meet your old comrades at
Guthrie, November 16th, at 11 o'clock
a. m. on Harrison avenue between
First and Division streets."

Colonel
CROSS RETURNS FROM STATE
CAPITAL—SAYS EVERYTHING IS
READY FOR THE NEW OFFICERS
TO TAKE CHARGE. OF THE
STATE NEXT SATURDAY.
Col. Bill Cross, the newly elected
state secretary has returned home
from Guthrie and says that everything
is in readiness for the new state of-
ficers to take charge when President
Roosevelt signs the statehood bill next
Saturday noon.
"The city hall building has been ten-
dered the state for the meeting place
of the legislature and the senate. We
have bought the furniture to fit it up
with and will have it ready before De-
cember 2, when the legislature and
senate will meet," said Mr. Cross.
"Th'e Logan county court house, that
looks like a state house, has been ten-
dered to the state officers to be used
temporarily. This buijding has just
been completed and has never been
used." Mr. Cross further stated.
When asked if he intended to move
from Oklahoma City, Mr. Cross stated
that he expected to continue to make
Oklahoma City his home.
A Real Heroine.
Anyone who has bad glimpses of the
British coast with its high tides and
precipitous cliffs can appreciate why
"cut ofT by the tide" has always been
a standard theme for British Action.
But none of the novelists have record-
ed an incident that surpasses in hero-
ism the deed of Mrs. McNally, of Sligo
bay, Ireland, who took seven children
out among the rocks and was taken
unawares by the rising water. She
saw them on a little island and, though
unable to swim, she rushed to their
help. Two she could take in her arms,
the rest she told to cling to her wher-
ever they could get hold, and so the
landward journey began. It was a
close thing, but she brought all seven
safa to land. If there are medals
going to England she is entitled to a
bunch.
Beautiful Eyes.
The almost universal habit of turn-
ing the head in whichever direction
you look deprives the eye of the exer-
cise to which it is entitled. The law
of vision is such that, when your eyes
are set straight to the front you can
see in almost every direction, except
behind your head. Every now and
then you see a woman with eyes that
seem to roll in their sockets, taking
in everything without a suggestion of
head movement. Those are the eyes
that drive men to distraction. Ox
eyes. Honest eyes. Usually brown
eye-s. Open eyes. Altogether different
from the small, ferret eyes of the de-
tective, which pretend to be looking
at the ground, yet see sidewise out of
both slits.
Duration of Animal Life.
A great variance as to length life
appears among different 4 animals.
3ome insects live only for a few hours,
while fish, elephants and turtles are
frequently centenarians. The ^verage
Iffe of the mosquito is three days.
Toads usually live to the aee of about
15 years, while carp have been known
to reach a hundred and fifty. Chickens
live from 12 to 15 years; dogs to the
i?,e of 10 and occasionally ir>, and par-
•ots to extreme age. Those birds have
been known to pass the arre of 200
/ears. Turtles are also frequently cen-
tenarians, as are storks, an.l elephants
are said to reach the ago of H00 years.

R3EB8ERER
Lawton, Okla., Nov. 11.—John Hop-
kins, of Kingston, Mo., who for the
last ten days has been confined in tho
county jail on the charge of killing
his wife in this city, has been in a
stupor all the time, now begins to
•ealize where he is.
In a statement made by Hopkins to
Sheriff C. C. Hammonds he stated that
he knew nothing of the crime, nor
what happened since that time, until
told of it by his fellow prisoners. "I
have no idea why I should have got it
Into my head to kill my wife. She has
never done anything to me deserving
any kind of punishment whatever. I
had suffered at the hands of other peo-
ple because of her, but bringing upon
her even condemnation—much less
death—has never been in my thoughts.
"I am willing to take any kind of
punishment for the affair, but I want
to set myself right with the people—
I did not kill her in cold blood and
knew nothing of it when it was done."
The reason assigned for the deed by
Hopkins is that he was suffering from
an attack of crazed brain, due to n
accident which he received some time
ago in Missouri. Sheriff Hammonds
states that he bears the marks upon
his side of some awful accident.
It is expected that he will have his
preliminary trial this week.
Char
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 11.—That she Is
being unlawfully restrained in tne
county jail as an insane inmate, as
the result of a conspiracy in which her
son-in-law is a principal figure, is the
charge of Mrs. Lena Knosp, who filed
suit Saturday in the district court for
a writ of habeas corpus. The case will
be heard by Judge John H. Burford to-
day.
Mrs. Knosp's suit is directed against
Bart Murphy, sheriff of Logan county.
She Etat?rs that she was arrested on a
warrant isr.ied by the Logan county
insanity commission, and that the ac-
tion of the board was caused by an
affidavit sworn to by C. C. Miller. The
woman characterizes the affidavit as
"malicious.' '
She states she is the owner of a
farm in Logan county and that the
alleged plot between Miller and Louie
Mathews, her daughter's husband,
purports the securing possession of
the land.
Mrs. Knosp Is the mother of several
children.
JUDGE EXPECTED HOME.
Judge Burwell and wife are ex-
pected home sometime today from
Washington, D. C., after being absent
from the city several days.
Mr. Burwell was in Washington try-
ing to land the appointment for federal
judge of the western side of (he new
state, which position was given to
John Cotteral of Guthrie.

Transformation in Ocean Travel.
The wealthy passenger for Europe
does not now book a cabin of a steam-
ship, but engages a suite, which is in
reality a commodious flat, consisting
of four luxuriously appointed rooms-
drawing room, dining room, bedroom
and bathroom—furnished and decorat-
ed in the most costly and artistic man-
ner with a rare and beautiful variety
cf woods, upholstered with silks, dam-
asks, tapestries and brocades. Every
possible convenience is provided-
even the blessings of the telephone
have not been overlooked, so that pas-
8 in ti":!!- staterooms may call
up friends"in rli-vjnt parts of the ship
and make apt'ointments lor dinner,
etc.—Lor.li; ' We< -:!v.
