“Hon George C Butte has announced hii

A Californian by birth he was reared and
educated in Texas He holds two degrees
from the great university of that state In that
state of large democratic majorities he cast his
maiden vote for the martyred McKinley and took
an active part in the councils of the republican
party He was elected delegate to the republican
state convention which met at Dallas and in that
convention was largely instrumental in the elec
tion of Cecil A Lyon as national committeeman
and as a member of the committee on platform
aided in instructing the national delegates for

district he took the stump for the republican nom

in that cam paign and those who are informed
say that no man did more to swing the third dis

that our people are taking commendable interest
in beautifying their homes In many of the yards
may be seen vigorous young trees shrubs and

here seems to be specially adapted to the growing
of vegetables and flowers and everything is
growing luxuriantly this season

A QUESTION OF VARA0ITT
In order to procure a continuance of the case
Orville T Smith the governor’s personal attcr
ney in the Haskell town lot case made oath at
the Tulsa term the other day that he had been
refused access to certain records of the interior
department Smith’s declaration was specific
and unqualified and it was because of his specific
declarations under oath that Judge Marshall
granted the continuance
Now comes Secretary Ballinger of the interior
department and his assistant Mr Pierce and
positively deny the truthfulness of the affidavit
made by Smith On the contrary these men
assert Smith was given free access to all of the
records of the department and offered every op-
portunity to see and copy everything
From which it would appear that somebody
is going to smoke in earnest before this celebrat
ed case is over It appears to be a time when the
defense should pray long and earnest for the dis-
missal of the cases without further investigation

TIME TO FORGET BIRTHDAYS
Attar All Why Should On Be Ra
mlndod of tho Paatas af
Crual Tlmaf
After youth hu passed birthdays
should be overlooked save about
once in ten yean Every tea yean
it is decent to have a birthday It ia
bad form to mention age aa that is
something to be politely ignored
and people who always announce
their coming anniversary get the
credit of holding up their friends
which is neither pretty nor nice
from an impartial standpoint Ton
will be told by dear Matilda that
she is to celebrate her birthday next
week “Why dear me Matilda how
old are you ?” "Oh" says Matilda
“I’ve reached the time when I don’t
know" “Then for goodness sake
don’t mention it” On tho other
hand the morning mail contains
gentle reminder that an old friend
will be so and so next Wednesday
and how well she remembers the
lovely flowers sent her on a previous
occasion and the felicitous note ac-
companying them! What a short
yearl Are those flowers paid for? —
you wonder though of course they
must be else there would have been
trouble And now here is another
birthday “to be remembered I” Cer-
tainly there should be no “birth-
days” save for children and centena-
rians I

REASONABLE
In 1747 Mr John Brown waa in-
vited to become the pastor of
church at Hingham There was but
one opponent to his settlement
man whom Mr Brown won over by
stroke of good humor He asked
for the grounds of his opposition “I
like your person and yonr company”
was the reply “but your preaching
sir I disapprove” “Then” said Mr
Brown "we are agreed I do not
like my preaching very well myself
but haw great a folly it is for you
and me to set up our opinion against
that of the whole parish” The
force of this reasoning appealed to
the man and he at once withdraw
his objections — Christian Register
AND SO IT IB
I said to my friend : "Tell me my
faults and I will know you are my
friend” And he told me my faults
and I spurned him for I thought
him a fool
I said to a second friend: “Tell
me my faults frankly” And he said
had no faults and I spurned him
for I knew he was a fool
I said to my third friend “Tell
me all my faults” And he told me
my faults and I thanked him And
he spurned me for he knew I was a
hypocrite
“CHINESE” GORDON
It was there that I saw Gen Gor-
don for the only time He was a
curiously listless-looking nervous
little man with a sort of furtive
look and expression as if he always
anticipated something unpleasant
He was not agreeable or encourag-
ing and he gave very little outward
evidence of the power and influence
he possessed He spoke little and
seemed bored when he was addressed
or asked any question — From Lady
