Graham's Shepherd Doo
Oscar Graham, leading man and
owner of the "Circle C. Ranch" Co.,
tells quite a remarkable story of his
shepherd dog "Jess."
His company, while touring Okla-
homa, changed cars at a little station
called, Nelogany. The train they went
on was a mixed local so all the bag-
gage was put into a freight car and
"Jess" traveled with the baggage. It
hapened that the door of this car was
not fastened securely, so that by the
time the train reaohed a little hamlet
further down the line, the motion had
caused it to work itself wide open.
"Jess" being loose took advantage of
this and beguiled the time in viewing
the scenery. Accidentally, while
waiting for the train to move again, he
■aw a rabit not far away from the track
and immediately alighted from the car
and gave chase. The train whistled
and started to move. "Jess" heard the
whistle, abandoned his chase and
started back after it. He followed it
a mile up the track where fortunatel>
it stopped for water. He then iried to
jump back into the baggage car, but
the track was on a sloping embank-
ment and he couldn't make it. Then
he went back to the passenger car
and climed up on the fteps where he
rode for several miles before someon<
saw him and let him in. "Jess" playj
a most heroic part in the "Circle C
Ranch," m
An Intellectual Dog
While in Kansas not long ago,
Oscar Graham's "Circle C, Ranch"
Company had to make a jump im-
mediately after the performance. Mr.
Graham is the owner of a beautiful
black shepherd dog which takes a
most important part in the show; and
the dog and his master got to the station
just as the train was pulling out. It
happened that the company's baggage
was not put on that train, Mr. Graham
grabbed his dog by the collar, made
a rush for the steps, got on himself and
tried to get his dog on, but by this time
the momentvm was too great find he
had to let the dog go. Before doing
so he told the dog to go back to the
station. When the members of the
company learned what had happened,
not a one of them but was sure that
the poor dog would run after the train
as far as he could ee it and then get
lost. This was not the case however
for at the next station Mr. Graham
telegraphed back and learned that the
obedient animal had trotted back to
station, perched himself on top of one
of the pile of trunks and refused to
move there-from until the morning
train came in. Then when the last
trunk was loaded in the baggage car.
he jumped in himself and quietly j
stretched himself out in a corner. :
When his master came down in the
morning to get him, the dog never even
noticed him, -but jumped out of the car
and trotted on ahead, displaying '
unmistakably an air of offended dignity

W. C. T. U Meeting.
The W. C. T. U. met at the
pleasent home of one of their
members, Mrs. M. JB. Carley.
It being the month in which the
birthday of two of our most illu-
strious presidents oocured, Mrs.
Carley had arranged a washing-
ton and Lincoln program,
Mrs. McKinster read the bio-
graphy of Washington's life. Mrs
Johnson read some very interest-
ing character sketches, while
roll call was responded to with
very interesting quotations from
Washington, Lincoln and
Francis Willard.
Mrs. Niles read a paper on
prohibition, the churoh and sa-
loon, after which little Miss Vi-
dell Carley sang in her sweet
childish voice, "The Life of a
Flower." The program was a
very interesting one and highly
enjoyed by all.
During the social hour the hos-
tess served a very delicious lunch
in which the historio "little
oherry" kept in mind the subject
of the event. Besides the
members here were a
number of visitors present and a
very enjoyable afternoon was
spent.

While the majority of the ladies

No Place For Laughing
There are a number of young
people who attend the ohurohes
of our little city and make a
practice of talking and laughing
during the servioes. Now for the
benefit of these youngsters we
will say that if oomplaint should
be made against them for disturb-
ing religious worship it would
probably turn out to be no laugh-
able matter for them, as the law
is very striot and severe on those
who violate it.
Now, our advice would be that
when you go to ohurch behave
like ladies and gentlemen, or stay
away and not disturb those who
attend these servioes for the
benefit they derive and to help a
noble cause.
Ed Gillman has traded his farm
south >f town to C. M. Brake for
a half interest in a printing office
in Muskogee, and the Siackhouse
residence property in Geary.
Lawrence Myers and wife and
Mrs. Frank Munday are making
arrangements to leave for Cal-
ifornia this week to make their
future home.
The friends of Mrs. A. O.
Diokason will be pleased to learn
'hat she is some improved since
her short stay in Hot Springs. It
is sinoerely hoped that she will be
greately improved at next re-
port.
You will probably butoher a
hog or two so you can have a
little fresh pork. The hams and
bacon should be salted and then
smoked with Wrights Smoke and
you will have the finest meat you
ever ate. Holmes sells it for 75c
per bottle.
The Republican Caucus
The rebuplican p r e o i n o t
caucuses were held in Geary last
Saturday and a hot time was the
result. It would have reminded
one of a sohool boy's base ball
game.
However, the Ballew foroes
seemed to prevail whioh means
a Taft sentiment. With all the
Taft appointees in the southern
states, who are a great power in
the national convention, but of
little oonsequence in the elec-
torial college, will surely nomi-
nate "Sisy Bill" and eleot Wood-
row Wilson.
$4500 Paid for Poultry.
The Shelby Grocery Co, has
paid about $4500. for poultry in
the last two months and are now
offering more per pound than be-
fore.
This amount paid out for poul-
try in this vioinity is no small
item, and demonstrats the fact
that ohioken raising is profitable.
Just a small share of your
time devoted to this business,
will prove a greater profit to the
farmers.
The Epworth League of thaM.
E. church south will bold a sooial
