There is always something to do
for those who are doing -
If everything was as easy to find
as exevses but what’s the use' of go--ing
farther?
The Herald Is a r welcome visitor
each week in almost every homo of
this community
The wheels of Helena’s progress
shouldjiave the attention from now
on of tho better class of our citizens
The saloon element has run Helena
ever since the town was started and
while progress has been made still
greater strides can bo made without
the aid of saloons
Helena is one of the few towns in
Woods county that has saloons and if
our people do their duty in the com-
ing spring that unpleasant distinc-
tion will be removed
The Herald realizes thaf its success
in a great part has been due to the
loyal support received from the far-
msra of this community and it shall
endeavor to merit the continuance of
the same in the future
Fifty-three persons were killed or
wounded in Oklahoma alone during
the four month’s quail htmtlh’g ' sea-

should be commenced against the
game of quail hunting

State Capital Washington Feb
5— President Ronpevelt has kept the
promise which he made early Satur-
day and repeated last night s that of
the appointment of John Abernathy
to be United States Marshal of Okla-
homa The nomination has just
reached the senate
By speciaMnvitation Abernathy
and Gov Frantz called at the white
house at 10 o’clock last night and
were again received with President
Roosevelt’s characteristic cordiality
The appointment of Abernathy yis
the result of a conference between
the president and Governor Frantz
during which the Oklahoma executive
asspred : the ' ’ president that the
charges against the former r u gh
rider were groundless and in addition
warmly recommetided him
Mr Roosevelt showed his apprecia-
tipn of the fineness of Govern r
Frantz’s judgement by directly en-
dorsing Abernathy and sending his
name to the upper house thus end-
ing the long fight
John Abernathy wad htypriu Bosque
county Texas in 1S7G and when a
small boy went with Jiis parents to a
cattle ranch ten miles south of Sweet-
water on Bitter Creek not far from
the headwaters— where he says he
made a “full-hand” as a cow puncher
when he was 18 years old He lived
there nine years and went to Waco
He attended Patterson Institute at
Hillsboro and the Rail high school in
Galveston He had taken lessons on
piano when he lived on Bitter Creek
and at Galveston undertook to finish
his musical education under Proffess
or Taliaferro’s niece Miss Jessie Pearl
Jordan They soon became sweet-
hearts against the wishes of the
young womarfs Uncle One night
they eloped and were pursued by
telegraph into Northern Texas Five
minutes after their marriage at Cle-
bnrne an officer tapped Abernathy on
the shoulder and said that he was
wanted at Galveston Abernathy re-
plied that he had married Miss Jor-
dan and that her uncle was simply
wasting tiipe and money looking for
him Aberrathy neVer finished his
musical education '
Abernathy moved With f his family
to Greer county the year before the
opening of the Kiowa and Comanche
country to settlement At the open-
ing he was appointe 1 deputy sheriff
of Comanche county under Sheriff
William Painter - He livts on a claim
near Frederick Abernathy never
mixed in politics and practically all
his life has been spent ill the cattle
country ' He has been married ten
years and has five children Aber-
nathy is a yonng man of rugged
health straightforward in his manner
and bears a good reputation ' '
It lias been generally 'reported
that Abernathy Was a “Texas Dem-
ocrat” but he denies this and says
that he cast his first vote ior William
McKinley while he was still living m
Texas and that he and his brothers
“cleaned up’’ all of the hatives who
presumed to jeer at their republican
principles' He has however taken
no part iu politics in Oklahoma and
his political belief was untirely un-
known aside from hifl own statement
He had the indorsement of neither
wing of the republican party in Okla-
homa in his fight fifth the Aarshal-

An exchange truly says: We love
th8 man with roses on his tongue
the man who sees the boy's dirty
face but mentions his bright eyes
who notices yonr shabby cent bat
praises your studious habits the maa
who sees all faults but whose tongue
is quick to praise and slow to blame
We like to meet a man whose smih
will light up dreariness whose voice
is full of birds' handshake is aa in-
spiration and hi i “God bless you”
benediction He makes us forget
our troubles as tho raven’s dismal
efoik is forgotten when the wood
thrush sings God bless the man of
cheer There is plenty of troublj
here and We need not increase it
There is a whole lot of dying don
nowaday by folks ahrol of time
