There was a rushing crowd Into
Hate and Lamar's Saloon one night,
on Oklahoma Avenue, about where the
east lawn of the postoffice now fronts
It could not be a fight for men were
rushing in instead of out. A young
reporter going in found in the seat of
honor, inside the railing and the front
window, a typical strolling violinist
of the higher city class. He was not
of the West, western. He had an ar-
tists face. * poet's mellow eye, and a
•bock of wavy hair surmount a high
forhead. He was playing a violin in
a dreamy fashion. But his music was
of the heart, not of the bead. The
crowd acclaimed him great, and every
man in turn set them up to all in the
house. One man whispered to the
reporter, "He is the greatest violinist
I ever heard; he is a great violinist"
But the reporter being wise on music
soon fouund out he played "by ear,"
not by the score. Life had evidently
cheated him in his infancy. He was an
artist, but not learned in his art. His

St. Louis, June 16.—Leaders of both
the Woman's party and the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
tonight united in denouncing as inade-
quate the suffrage plank of the Demo-
cratic platform and declared they
would immediately resume their fight
in Congress tor national rcognition.
Miss Ann Martin, chairman of the
Woman's party said: "We are going
to give the Democratic Congress one
more chance to make good before ad-
journment. If it does not see fit to
pass a constitutional amendment, war
will follow."
Mrs. Carrier Chapman Catt. presi-
dent of the National, gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"The Democrats thought to hood-
wink the women by a jumble of words,
but in no sense succeeded. The so-
called suffrage plank that they adopt-
ed cannot be expected to win the
presidential campaign for them.
"The chief actor in the farce, Sena-
tor Stone ot Missouri, rattled the party
skeleton when the question was put
to him and admitted that the plank
i was not an indorsement of woman
| suffrage.
! "The President is left in an untena-
' ble position and the suffrage world
awaits to hear hm speak. If the plank j
adopted today is the
choice, the world may justly accuse |
him of descending to the tricks of the'
cheapest politician."
"The old squire caad, as he stood by hi*
gate.
And his neighbor, the Deacon, went by,
'In spite of my bank stock and real
estate.
You are better off. Deacon than I."
" 'We're both growing old, and the
end's drawing near,
You have less of tbis world to resign,
But in Heaven's appraisal your assets,
1 fear,
Will reckon up greater than mine.
" 'They say I am rich, but I'm feeling
so poor,
I wish I could swap with you even;
The pounds I have lived for and laid up
in store
For the shillings and pence you have
given."
" "Well, Squire,' said the Deacon,
with shrewd common sense,
Whle his eye had a twinke of fun,
'Let your pounds take the way of my
shillings and pence,
And the thing can be easily done.'"

TH£ MATTER OF GOVERNMENT.
The mistake we make in the matter
of government is, that while the pol-
iticians are all the time busy about it,
the people have a sense of feeling as
though oertain things can be disposed
of once for good and then are to be
left alone forever, as though finished.
The act. or act*, of government art
never finished. Being the business
of all the people and having to do
with all peoples' happiness or unhap-
pinesH, it Is the most seriouus business
the people have to do. The individual
businesg of each is to feed, clothe and
house himself, but collectively the
whole mass can so tumble on top of
one individuual, or a section of indivi-
duals, tlat it can make it quite worse
for them than lf they were killed out-
right.
It is the feeling that government

state university.
Professor Thoburn, who has charge
of the expedition, has made several
former trips of exploration through
this section, and has pronounced it
one of the finest in the entire country.
Parties of theirologists and archael
ogiBts from large eastern schools and
museums have been at work for sev-
eral years In surrounding counties of
Oklahoma. Missouri and Arkansas, but
so far have not worked in Delaware

Big Mouth cavern is the first locat-
ion to be made by the searching party.
This cavern lies along Htoney creek
at a distance of about eight miles
south of this place, where the creek
for miles is lined on one side by huge
cliffs.
Local searching parties in this cave
have explored to recesses back about
a quarter of a mile, until stopped by
an underground Btream. On account
of the wind which constantly sweeps
through the cave, it is thought by the
members of the university party to
extend some farther distance back,
having an opening farther down the
face of the cliffs or probably near
some other stream.
During the past few years there
have been found by bunting parties
bones, pieces of pottery, a great num-
ber of flint axes and spears, some of
which are on display at a local col-
lector's home. None of the searchers,
however have taken the trouble to
delve deeply into the huge mass of.
debris which almost chokes the north
side of the cavern.
This will be one of the first things
done by the university men, who
spent their first day at work clearing
away big pieces of fallen rock from
the floor of the cave.
That the cavern was a residence of
cave-dwellers cannot be doubted, for
