' The Merry Ceasters
‘Where ere yon going my pretty maid?”
“ I'm going a coMtlng Sir she said
Monday evening witnessed a lively
scene when about fifty of the youog
people of the town gathered on the
till near the school house with sleds
and skates and went “a coasting” to
he tune of shrieks and merry laugh-
ter The main idea seemed to be to
:et to the bottom of the bill add any
ld way was good eoougb and they
all got there sometimes all at once
It is notofien duriog a winter season
in Oklahoma that it is possible to en-
joy such sport as this and the boys
ii ix girls were prompt to take advant-
age of the opportunity for pleasure
The snow was excellent being some
six inches in depth and frozen almost
solid the sleds and skates going down
the hill with lightning-like rapidity
It U a wonder that there were no
more accidents than there were
Claire Hayes pi obably suffered the
worst mishap of any getting off with
u fractured leg’ One young lady bad
V- her “callKtr" slst ruined another
'nutted in' soiacw?Mcre and got her
head hurt (not serious however) and
t lie little folks and the dogs alt got
mixed up in the merry-making with-
out suffering any inconvenience to
any great extent The evening was
beautifully moonlit which lent to the
enjoyment of the occasion
v Jr aTter years aud when grim busi-
ness and the daily grind of life takes
the place of pleasure these and like
occasions will be as brmht spot in
tne memory of associat ions and the
miud will cling to them along with
the “old swiminin hole" the trout
t rooks where we played hookey from
Sunday school and a hundred other
old time recollections good and bad
stories of which will bo told the little
folks as great exploits “when we
were voui g" Miv their shadows
never grow less '

The "Empire of Woods”
Y
A great deal has been said
about the “Empire of Woods”
but people living outside of and
unacquainted with Oklahoma lit
tie realize the meamug of the
term until they travel for them
selves its length and breadth and
behold with their own eyes the
grandeur aud wealth of the coun-
ty that has been compared to an
empire It is called thus on ac-
count of its immense size and
peopled as it is by ioyal prosper-
ous citizens who have built it up
and made it what it is and who
are proud of it Any attempt to
describe the wonderful develop-
ment of the country invariably
ends in failure because people
read the description and then
when they see for themselves
they are very much surprised to
find such improvements such ev-
idences of prosperity in such a
new country ' Such hedges
such barns and houses such cit-
ies as are within within her bor-
ders such mineral wealth such
mountains and streams such
wooded slopes - It is for these
and a thousand others that
Woods county has been likened
unto an empire and she deserves
the name Forty eight miles
wide by fifty qight miles long
larger than some of the states
and more Intelligence and com-
mon horse'sense to the square
inch thin any country on earth
It’s schools and churches are
models It’s thirty or more
newspapers and periodicals are
strictly up-to-dateand stand up
for home and country We don’t
care who knows it: we are proud
of the old “Empire of Woods”
“1 Should Like to Die’’ said Willie
“I should like todie" said Willie “If
my papa could die too
But be says be isn't ready— cause be's
got so much to do
But my little sister Nellie says that
I must surely die
And she and mamma— then she stop-
ped because it made me cry
“I remember that she told me once
while sitting on her kuee
That the angles never weary watch-
ing over her aod me
And If I was only good— Nellie told
" told me so before —
That they let us Into heaven when
they see us at the door
I shall know no more of sorrow 1
shall know no more of sin —
I shall see m8mroa aod Nellie for I
know they’ll let me in —
But I’ll have to tell the angel when I
meet him at the door
That he must excus my papa because
be couldn't leave the store
“I know I shall be happy and shall
always want to stay —
I should like to bear the singing — I
should love the endless day
I would like to look at Jesus— I'd love
him more and more
Aud I’d gather water-lilies for the
angel at the door
Nellie says that it may be I shall
soon be called away—
If papa was only ready I should like
to go today
But if I go before him to that world
of light aod J-iy
I guess he'll want to come to heaven
to see bis little boy"
