has worn away and everybody is
beining to Iuok upon ihe order
with credit, except, a tew old
maids who say, "mat it ^s per-
fectly horrid and inhuman and
the, meanest tiling they ever
heard tell of." Honor was ren-
dered to the great rtt. Patrick,
the grand old patriarch of irland
Everybody wore the green:
Young men, bachelors, widow-
ers, grass widows, widows
and grass widows; they all wore
the green.
The number present at lO'iiO
o'clock was 46. Th6 report of the
committee was called for and
they reported that they had
found fourteen young ladies and
seven widows. One old maid ot
the crab-apple sort was going to
fhoot the committee for calling
on her so they let the old maids
all go and did'nt count them at
all.
Grand-pa Dickerson made us
a fine speech, and said we were
sure on the right track and that
if we run our business right we
were sure of success, He volun-

he could, and that to fill out the
required number he would be
willing to go back to Missouri
and bring out a car-load and
that no other business in the
world afforded him so much
pleasure as associating with the
ladies. Then a resolution of
of thanks was voted to Mr. Dick-
erson. He was told that his ser-
vices would be accepted and
appreciated.

At exactly 11,15 two were
driven up, they werefiilled with
the most delightful company.
Harry Butler and Jess Hud-
son one wagon in which rode six
charming young ladies, Charley
Seif drove the other which car-
ried five merry widows. They
had planed to give us a great
but pleasent surprise. The room
was cleared, the tables set, and
the finest served we have ever
seen : They had brought all the
good things to eat that heart
could wish for. It even eclipsed
Dority's feast, at the "Irish Ju-
bilee." The manner in which
hose ladies served supper was
sure proof of ther ability to
slight or miss none. After sup-
per Dr. Newlon and Mr. Rayl
furnished the music and we
danced St. Patricks day in the
morning. Then we danced the
Merry Widow waltz, and after
thanking the ladies, we adjourn-
ed. Sine die.

"All thought I'd lose my leg"
writes J. A. Swensen, of Water-
town, Wris. "Ten years of ecze-
ma, that 15 doctors could not
cure, had at last laid me up.
Then Bucklen's Arnica Salve
cured it, sound and well." Infal-
lible for Skin Eruptions, Ecze-
ma, Salt Rheum, Boils, Fever

Piles. 25c at Owl Drug Co.
GUTHRIE, Okla., March 22.
"Prohibition in Oklahoma is a
fake and a farce,"declared Sen-
ator Frank M. Colville of Calu-
met, one of the preachers in the
legislature, when the state dis-
pensary proposition was up for
discusion Tuesday morning.
"Two years ago I was one of
the Republicans who stumped
the state for state-wide prohibi-
tion, but I am ashamed of it now.
As the law is administered it is
a fake and farce. The sale of
liquor by the state is an eyesore
to the whole people. I had rath-
er play into the hands of the
brewers and have them ship
more into the state than togo in-
to partnership with them and
help them sell the stuff."
The confiscation of liquor by of-
ficers was bitterly denounced by
Senator Colville.
"This confiscation of liquor
is merely a sort of illicit form of
licence," he declared. "The
bootlegger is raided and his liq-
uor seized and he continues to
run. It is merely a question of
taking his liquor rather than his
cash as a consideration of letting
him continue."
There was an unusual display
of senatorial fireworks Tuesday
morning when the bill introduced

tically the same bill as that pass-
ed by the senate last year, and

state dispensary.
