FOSTER'S BULLETIN NO. 17
Is this not the loveliest weath-
er you ever saw to play croquet?
Foster sells the outfit for almost
nothing. "I will buy a set, drop
up this evening and stake off a
'Croquette.' We will get D. and
W., J. and Edith, Arthur and his
sweetness, and Clara and vou
know who and we will show We-
leetkans how the trick is turned.
We must buy one of Foster's
hammocks, prices cut in two,
for our chaporone to lie in and
watch the game. There will be
there one of Fosters white enam-
eled refrigerators, bought at 50
cents on the dollar, with gallons
of ice cold lemonade within, to
cool down our parched anatomy
as we pass through the arches
and as we leave they will trot
out that dandy freezer they
bought at Fosters bargain coun-
ter and that 'angel food' cake
that Mattie made. Oh wont
that be joyful?
"If there is a live merchant in
Okfuskee county, Foster is the
man, always busy, store brimful
of bargains and when that door
bell rings, all the citizens ex-
claim, Foster is rolling out his
bargains. Hot weather don't
keep the shoppers from flocking
to Fosters. He has a bargain
and a cheery home like welcome
smile for every one. Everybody
likes to trade with Foster."
HAD CINEMATOGRAPH PARTY7
That Is the Latest Amusement In Ber
IIn Society and Affords th«
Guests Much Pleasure.
Cinematograph parties are the lat-
est amusement in Berlin society.
Guests arc shown on the screen se-
cretly taking cinematograph records
of themselves riding and walking or
standing about, laughing and chat-
ting in places where smart people
congregate.
The victim's gayety is often some-
what forced when an awkward ges-
ture or an idiotic grin is all too
faithfully reproduced on the s?reen,
but he consoles himself with the
hope that the next film may give
hiin a chance of poking fun at hia
neighbor.
Another development of the idea
is to have one's domestic joys, such
as marriages and christenings, eine-
matographed and the films presented
to friends. A wedding that took
place last week was cinematographed
from beginning to end, including the
drive to the church and hack to the
bride's house. Copies of the films
were sent to relatives of the family
;n Australia, China and India.

George Clarkson transacted
business in Oklahoma City on
16th. While George is a loyal
supporter of Oklahoma City, yet
he feels way down deep in his
heart that San Antonio has the
best team in the league and
ventures his rep on the assertion
that Mr. Liedy's bunch will cap-
ture the rag in 1911.

About thirty little tots were
present.
OBSER-
VATIONS
of
The Office Cat..
Evelyn Arthur See was found
guilty of abduction in the Chi-
cago court last week. His sen-
tence in the pen will give him
ample time to revew his "abso-
lute life."
Tomorrow Texas will vote on
the prohibition question. No
matter which way the election
goes it is gsnerally conceded
that Texas is dry.
It is said that civil war still
brews in Mexico. The Mexican
government should enlist the aid
of the W. C. T. U. and down
the breweries.
A Kansas paper says "News
is rare this week; everything
else is well cooked.
Oh joy! Congress will ad-
journ during the early part of
next month.
Fire Sunday destroyed Sforza
castle at Rant' Angelo Lodigano.
The dispatch doesn't say whether
or not the name was saved.
A Missouri farmer who lived
on one farm forty years died,
last Sunday, leaving a fortune
estimated at several hundred
thousand dollars. And yet, some
folks persist in saying "A set-
ting hen never gets fat."
OBITUARY.
The Office Cat was bore Janu-
ary 20, 1911, and parted with his
ninth life today. While life
lasted he was a howler, though
not a howling success, and was
several months getting his eyes
open. Death was caused by the
hot sun and lack of rain. Many
bad things might be said of the
Cat, but all will admit there is
one good thing-he is dead. His
last words were, "Cheer up,
nothing ever happened that
might not have been worse."

RENOVATOR FOR OLD OAK.
Everybody nowadays knows that
to secure a bright polish ou an old
oak chest or table there is nothing
to equal elbow grease.
in our grandmothers' days, how-
ever, it was elbow grease plus one of
their wonderful and efficacious
home-made mixtures. Naif a pint
each of malt vinegar and raw
liuseed oil were mixed with a
couple of drams of butter of
antimony. This formed a polish
which, after a good shaking,
could be rubbed on the old wood
without fear of spoiling the color,
while it brought about a bright and
glistening result, far less smeary
than the warm beer which was the
old-fashioned farmhouse renovator
for old oak.
QUEEN HAS TACT.
Queen Klizabcth of the Belgians, a
woman of rare tact and intelligence,
is appealing to her people in a man-
ner which is doing much to endear
her to them. She lends her ener-
gies to King Albert's efforts to re-
move the dark stain caused by Leo-
pold's countenance of the Congo
atrocities. Her last birthday was
generally celebrated as Hose day,
and the sale of the queen's birthday
roses realized $20,000, which was
given to the tuberculosis relief fund.
On her next birthday the edelweiss
will be substituted for the rose, and
the proceeds from its sale will he de-
voted to combating the sleeping
sickness in the Congo.
RABBITS DESTROYING TREES.
The farmers and fruit growers in
the surrounding country have de-
cided to wrap the walnut trees with
strong rubber covering to keep the
jackrabbits from ruining them.
John B. Stump, who owns a .'100-
acre walnut orchard two miles west
of this city, reports that the rabbits
have kept the leaves so closely
trimmed that the trees are not al-
lowed to gain inm-h headway.—Mon-
mouth correspondence Portland Ore-
gonian.
