Ten Commandment#, The Constitu-
tion and Mother Goose's Rhymes
Are Especially Commended.
The Ten Commandments: These
classical epigrams, published in Si-
nai before the enactment of the
copyright law and forming the prin-
cipal mental sustenance of our fore-
fathers, have latterly been neglected
in the tremendous rush for Thomas
W. Lawson and Mrs. Glyn. A book-
let which should have the widest
and most thoughtful reading in such
centers as New York, Pittsburg, Al-
bany, San Francisco, Reno and New-
port.
The Constitution; Another old-
time favorite fallen into disregard.
Still among the most-called-for in
Oklahoma, however, where a re-
vised edition, containing an enor-
mous and miscellaneous amount of
wholly new matter, with anti-admin-
istration glossary and table of di-
mensions for hotel dinner cloths and
bed sheets, has been published.
Mother Goose's Rhymes: This col-
lection of the elementary gems of
English poesy is especially com-
mended for perusal and study by
poet laureates, who will find the sim-
plified forms here presented condu-
cive to a trurer rhythm, deeper
meaning and all around better verse.
Mr. Kipling also might well dip
into these pages before exploding
another "Burial Ode."

It Is Nature's Signal to 8top Work
and 8hould Be Obeyed If Clr-
cumstances Permit.
Sleepiness, as a rule, should not
be resisted. Remember it is na-
ture's signal to stop work. If we
continue in spite of the tired drag
the quality of work is poor and the
exhaustion is extreme and out of all
proportion to the work turned out.
Many do all sorts of things to burn
the midnight oil, when if they would
only go to bed and sleep they could
accomplish twice as much in the
morning with little or no fatigue.
Certainly there are times when tire
and sleepiness must be overcome,
and that, too, without resort to stim-
ulants which hurt the judgment, aa
in the case of the midnight surgeon
and obstetrician. It is best then to
go to the open window every 15
or so minutes and take a dozen or
two deep breaths of cold air. The
tire in the end may be great, but
this is the best fillip and piek-up;
besides, it will in no way interfere,
but rather will help perfect blissful
Bleep when its time comes.
OVERHEARD.
"And while I was down there in
the slums I saw a woman feeding
candy to a baby that looked as if it
were painted."
"The cutest little boy was climb-
ing a tree with overalls on."
"I told John we ought to have
oysters for company on the half
shell."
"He gave her the coffee while she
was waiting at the counter in a tin
can."
"A big, fat man rode by on a
skittish horse with a red nose that
was scared of the trolley cars."
"I just love to see the soldiers
with their guns in khaki suits, don't
you ?"
"I don't know his name, but he
was the lawyer what sat next to the
lady in black with long side whis-
kers and a white necktie."
He is the man that sells lace
with such big red hands and a lisp."

FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
A funeral procession was wending
its way through an English colliery
village recently as a fight between
two miners was in progress. As the
funeral procession drew near them
they ceased fighting, and stood to
one side to allow the procession to
pass. As the hearse was passing in
front of the combatants, one of
them seized an underbearer by the
arm, and pointing to the driver of
the hearse he said in a loud voice:
Ah say, mister, tell that putter to
mak' sharp back, and Ah'll fill her
up again for 'im."
His antagonist immediately put
on hia coat and disappeared.
THE GOOD FAIRY.
Alice—And she made the homely
girl look extremely beautiful.
Ida—With a wave of her wand, I
luppose.
Alice—No, with the wave of her
magic hair-curler.—Puck.
Lots of people don't like to

don't like our mews they can
blue pencil this column.
Carrie Nation is now suffering
with nervousness. Probably con-
tracted from some of those Kan-
sas joint keepers whom she came
in contact with several years
ago.
The early bird catches the
worm, but the night bird catches
the dickens generally.
Judge McMillan savs that
Mister" does not apply to the
Negro. We find it applies to
everybody when we want to bor-
row a few scads.
We noticed in 'ast week's
American that Robert Allsup
had been granted a marriage li-
cense. Not only all's up with
Robert, but with most married
men.
Congress is preparing to deal
a hard blow at the "Parlor
match." If they would take a
shot at the "Shady nook" match
there would be less cases ill the

Last Friday, the 13th, was
considered by many as an un-
lucky day, but we managed to
get three meals.
According to the U. S. census
report Guthrie has gained in pop-
ulation the enormous slim of

Andy and Teddy talked on la-

We are willing to discuss the
subject for several days if others
will go ahead with the labor.
The life of a man consists not

We noticed a recipe in one of

Now listen for that awful thud.
Through that great spnort,
Barney Oldfield, we learn that
Jim Jefferies was drugged at
Reno. Since our mind has been
drawn to the fact, we believe
there was something over 200
pounds of dark substance put in
the ring, and after Jeff came in
contact with it was "drugged"
out and helped into an automo-
bile.

H
BRAIN AND THE INTELLECT
Facts That Oppose the View Th*
Size of Former Determines the
Mental Capacity.
Many persons believe that there
exists a distinct relationship be-
tween the size of the brain and in-
tellectual capacity. There are cer-
tainly facts which run counter to
this view. One salient example is
that of the French statesman, Leon
Gambetta, whose brain weighed only
forty-two ounces. On the other
hand, the heaviest brain weighed 84
ounces, in spite of the fact that he
is stated to have been inclined to
idiocy. A brain weighing 82 ounces
once belonged to a Scandinavian
peasant, of whose intellectual status
it may be said that "previous to the
age of seventy he never showed signs
of any extraordinary intelligence."
A female Indian dwarf had a brain
which weighed no less than 77
ounces, a trifle heavier than the
brain of Tourgeneff, the celebrated
Russian novelist.
The average weight of the human
brain has been variously put as from
52 to 58 ounces, and an analysis of
the brain weights of 60 intellectual
men works out at an average of 63
ounces, which is not much superior
to the average. Evidently quantity
of brain substance is of less impor-
tance than quality in respect to the
possession of intellectual qualities of
a high order.
EALTH CLUB is guaranteed
pure in the baking as well as
pure in the can.
It pays to be careful on this point.
Baking powder itself can be guar-
anteed pure —but in the chemical
changes during the process of baking,
it is apt to leave harmful substances
in the biscuits, pastry or cake. *

Health Club is economical, too. Be-

use half as much as you do of other
brands. One heaping teaspoonful to a
quart of flour. We could charge more
for Health Club and get it, but one cent
