WOODMEN OF 1 HE WORLD.
Noble Lodge Has a Public Installation
—Fine Banquet and Fine Time.
The Woodmen of the World
had a fine time at Noble on Fri-
day night of last week, the occa-
sion being jthe installation of
Noble lodge, together with other
exercises, the principal one being
a fine banquet. Mr. Robert Car-
ter, of Lexington, acted as in-
stalling ofiicer, and the following
were the officers installed:
J. W. Klinglesmith, C. C.
J. A. Shriver, A. L.
C. E Gerre, Secretary.
C. P. Klinglesmith, Banker.
Isaac Graham, P. C. C.
Alex Mills, Watchman.
John Wilson, Sentry.
Dr. Murphy, Physician.
W, A. Leslie, Geo. F. Graham
and Robt. Stogner, Managers,
After the installation a pro-
gramme of music, recitations,
etc., was rendered, and after that
came the banquet, which had
been prepared in the school house
by the ladies of the Woodmen.
Three hundred persons partook
thereof, and so great was the sup-
ply that 100 more might have
partaken without visibly reduc-
ing the supply. It was a splen-
did banquet of all the luxuries
and substantiate of the season.
Noble Lodge consists of some
forty members, of the best people
in that community. It is grow-
ing finely. A number of the
Woodmen from Norman, Lexing-
ton and other points took part in
the festivities.
Miss Bessie Barnes Elopes.
Miss Bessie Barnes, only
daughter of Gov. and Mrs. C. M.
Barnes, were married last Satur-
day morning at the Grand Avenue
hotel in Oklahoma City, to Mr.
Carl Havinghorst, assistant
cashier of the Guthrie National
Bank. The affair was in the
nature of an elopment, the bride's
parents being opposed to the
match for the reason, as given by
the governor, that they desired
to keep her at home a while
longer. The young couple have
been forgiven, however, and
everything is lovely.
The bride is well known in
Norman, where she has frequent-
ly visited her intimate friend,
Miss Grace King.
She is a most accomplished
young lady, a sweet singer and
fine musician; and to this she
adds graces of mind and person
which make her a very popular
young lady with all who know
her. The groom is a fine young
business man and a leader in
Guthrie society. The young
couple will receive the congratu-
lations of the Territory, for "all
the world loves a lover."

turkey were rather shy and did not
come out to greet the visitors.
At chapel the day before the begin-
ning of the holidays the "ShamrockR"
sang in their usual entertaining man-
ner. But as an introduction to the
song Miss King gave the history of the
Quartett which run something as fol-
lows: In early September four uni-
versity young ladles drawn together
by kindred spirit and love of music
met to organize a quartette for mutual
benefit and enjoyment. At the time
they did not think of the hearty sup-
port that the school would give thera.
In looking about for a name it was dis-
covered that each one could rightfully
claim for herself a trace of Irish-blood-,
and so from that they adopted the name
Shamrocks"—and also because it is
supposed to bring good luck. Doubt
less too it has; for at their every ap-
pearance they have been joyfuKy re-
ceived. And so out of respect and
courtesy to the University Miss King
took that opportunity of showing their
appreciation by renaming the "Sham-
rocks," the "University Ladles' Quar-
tette."

Football vs Cigarettes.
President D. It. Boyd says that the
football has done more than any thing
else to cause unlveslty students to
abandon the use of cigarettes and to-
bacco. When a student applies to the
team manager for a piece on the sub-
stitute list he is asked whether he uses
cigarettes or tobacco. If he replies in
the affirmative hois told that he cannot
play, as he is liable to heart failure.
He is not requested to abandon his
habit, but the fact that he Is injuring
his health is presented to him in a
new light. The result usually is that
the student lays aside his cigarettes
and tobacco to get on the team. "We
had a number of cases of typhoid fever
last fall," said President Boyd, "and I
consider the fact remarkable that not
one of the fifty-three students who
played football had the disease. The
boy« who took no physical exercise are
the ones who had fever."
