Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
Oae Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad-
vices from this place, Mr. A. J. Hughes
writes as follows: "1 was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely 1 would die.
I tried different treatments, but tlu y
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought I
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford's Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. I decided to
lake his advice, although I did not have
any confidence in if.
I have now been taking Black-Draught
for Ihree months, and it has cured me—
haven't had those awful sick headaches
since 1 began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me."
Thedford's [ilack-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de-
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.

A*************************
A kid who heard Life calling, and who turned
To catch the echo of far-marching feet
Where crim on fii'ex of glory flashed and burned
Along the borders of the swarming street.
I know a fellow now
Who loolcs across gray years with weary eyes
Heyond th< laurel and the olive bough
To rose sweet dreams beneath remembered shies,
To fields of golden harvest and the glow
Of God's lost sunshine waning to the gleam
Of star-lit dusk back home, so long ago
It only seems the phantom of a dream.
I know a fellow who
Would give Life's motley fame again to be
In orchard drifts where lost windx wander through
And whisper sighing from the heading tree
Who dreams at each gray dusk within his den
Of old-time honor and old-fashioned truth,
And cries to God to lead him back again
And leave him with the clean, bright faith of youth.
Oklahoma Times.
The feature ol the slate progres-
sive Convention which closed at the
Metropolitan theater Wednesday night
was the number of old-timers who re-
sponded, when a call to come to the
[jla [.form was issued to all who had
voted for Abraham Lincoln and John <
Kreemont. Out of the 20 that respon-
ded 10 wore residents of Okla. City.
The movement was started when one
of the old-timers jumped up and said:
I am 7S years old and six months and
voted for Abraham Lincoln." It was
thought at lirst that he did not have
any competitors on the matter of age.
Then A. W. Roberts of 1116 W. 6th
St., Oklahoma City said: "1 am 8-'
anil have voted for Lincoln twice and
for John C. Kreemont, lirst republican
nominee for president. Great applause
followed and all those who had voted
for Freemont or lincoln were called
on to come to the platform.
Twenty responded to the call. They
were: ti. \V. Barnard, Oklahoma City.

A MONK'S VOWS IN COURT
Every Religious Order to be Af-
fected by the Decision.
Washington, liar. 2.—Upon the. de-
rision of the supreme court in a case
to be considered this week may rest
tenure of every brotherhood an dsis-
terhood of the Catholic Church in the
United States.
Tiie court will be ealle dupon to de-
cide whether the vows of poverty in
these orders are against public policy,
as recently decided by the i'nited
States Court ot Appeals of the Eighth
District.
The case in question rises out of
the death ot Father Wirth, a member
of the Order of St. Benedict, founded
about 525 A. D., At the time of his
death in 1901 he was in charge of the
Herman Catholic Church at Spring-
ileld, Minn.
•Nearly fifty years before his death
Father Wirth took Ihe vows of the
Benedictine order—chastity, poverty
was that all right of possessing prop-
erly oil his part was transferred to
the order and that the order on its
part became obligated to educate,
maintain and support hi infor life.
Father Wirth became a member of
the Vincent Mission of Westmoreland
County, Penu., in 18-16. Later he was
made prior of a monastery at Atchis-
on, KansaB, and about 1897 went to
Minnesota. In his life he had become
such an honored member that his su-
perior permitted him to retain in his
possession certain property. At the
time of his death he was in possess-
ion of $5,000 in addition to royalties
from book she had written
The probate court of Brown County,
Minnesota, recognized hi sheirs as en-
titled to the property. After a series
of contests with the Order the heirs
obtained a decision from the I'nited
States Circuit Court to the effect that
poverty was against public policy and
the vow, therefore, was void. The
heirs were held entilled to the prop-
erty.
Approximately fifly-nine thousand
priests, brothers and nuns will be af-
fected by the decision, as it is proabls
that the title or orders to thctr chur-
ches, colleges and schoolhouses, hos-
pitals and sanitariums In practieally
every state of the Union may be drawn i
Into question.
In the application for the supreme
court to review the decision, attor-l
neys for the order stated that If the
decision were carried out to its full
extent it might, eventually, dissolve
and disintegrate the temporal object of
these orders. It was also pointed out
that the decision mi?ht affect relig-
ious orders of the Episcopal Church
and some of the other protestant
churches.

When questioned concerning their
reasons for being Progressives all had
ready answers. Dr. DeClark said:
'We the old soldiers have always been
progressive, and have kept up with
the times. The republican party in its
inception as led by John C. Freemont
was progressive."
O. C. Durland stated: " Ithink that
Ihe Progressive platform contains the
essence of all that tends for good
government for the people."
John A. Gilbert said: "1 am neith-
er a republican nor a democrat, so 1
am a progressive."
cigarette Miss Hines presented her-
self for enlistment at a recruiting of-
fice here. Sbe deceived the recruiting
officer completely and passed the pre
liminary examination with ten other
recruits. When asked to disrobe Miss
Hines broke down an dconfessed her
sex.
She said her sweetheart joined the
navy two years ago and she had not
heard from him and she thought she
might find him if able to enlist.
TAFT URGES SIMPLE COURT
PROCEDURE
Heads Delegation of Noted Law-
yers in Plea Before House
Committee.
Washington, February 27.—An ap
peal for simplification of court pro-
cedure to facilitate the administra
tion of justice was made to the Ho,use
Judiciary Committee today, by a dele-
gation of noted lawyers headed by
former President Taft. Speaking as
president of the American Bar Asso-
ciation, .Mr. Taft said lawyers of the
United States were practically a unit
in believing simple rules of practice
should govern in all courts, federal
and state and he strongly urged pass-
age of a pending bill introduced by
Representative Clayton, chairman of
the committee.
The Clayton bill would empower the
Supreme Court of the United States to
lay down rules for the conduct of com-
mon law practice in federal district
courts as it has already done in equity
procedure, the procedure of states
where these courts are located now
governs them. It was pointed out to-
day that usages and rules of procedure
built up by the Legislature of the va-
rious states have obscured the pur-
pose of law in intricate mazes of tech-
nlcalitiesj that have served particular-
ly to protect men of wealth from pros-
ecution.
Mr. Taft said to the committee that
there was nothing in the constitution
to prevent administration of justice
in the United States with the same dis-
patch that marked English court busi-
ness.
During (he discussion the former
president departed fro mspecific con-
sideration of the pending bill and dealt
with the popular outcry against the
Judiciary as it is now constituted, lie
believed he said, that the Federal
Court system was the bulwark of Am-
erican liberty and that appointment for
life was fundamental in maintaining
that system, but he admitted that de-
fects has arisen, all of which he
thought could be cured by legislative
enactments, such as that before the
committee. A study of this subject
be suggested might be made by a paid
commission, with Ihe approval of the
Supreme Court.
Referring to the Investigation or sev-
eral federal judges now in progress
Mr. Taft declared it was a wholesome
thing for Congress to accept this pow-
er.
"I thing it is an admirable thing." he
said, "for these judges to understand
that they arc being watched."
WHOSE WIFE AM I?"
New Turn in Twin Brothers
Puzzle.
Amerieus, Ga., March 2,—-"Whose
wife am 1, anyway?" Rosebud English
asks the courts of eGorgia.
Once she was Mrs. Oliver; then she
was Mrs. James; now she is known as
Miss Rosebud English, the name she
had before she first sailed out over
the turbulent matrimonial seas.
She divorced Oliver, because she
thought he was his twin brother who
already had a wife, and married Jam-
es; she divorced James when she
found that Oliver was not his twin
brother, and therefore had no other
wife at the time he married her.
So its up to the court to decide the
legal status of the former wife of Al-
fred I>. Oliver, now that he has been
released by the Mississippi authori-
ties on the ground that he is not L.
C. Harding in whose name he was
serving a penal sentence, and who
Oliver cliams is his twin brother.
Oliver was formerly a bank presi
dent. According to him, it was his
half brother and not himself who per-
petrated the offenses that were laid
at his door. He intends to enter the
banking business again. His wife, or
former wife, has already entered into
negotiations to see if he will allow
her to return to him.
' Our marriage shoul dnot have been
annulled," she explained, "for as 1 am
convinced now, ho is his own self and
not tiie twin brother known as Hard-
ing, and who married the woman who
claimed my husband as hers.
"Therefore, as we were separated
because the courts decided my hus-
band was really Harding, the courts
ought to put us back on the same
standing again—husband and wife.
"I admit that I have had another
husband in the meantime, but I mar-
ried him because I thought Oliver had
deceived me into a bigamous marriage
—the court said so—but now I know
the court was wrong and my husband
was right. I want him back with me
again.
If he wasn't guilty of bigamy when
he married me. and that he wasn't has
been legally decided since, then our
marriage was legal, the annulment il-
legal, and 1 am still his legal wife
That's what I think, but I wish I were
sure!"
