SOI JOKE
ON CAWELL
A JOKE (that Is NO joke) but
WHO Is It on?
' When Campbell Russell crossed
the M O O bridge at REX last
week he stopped to let hiB “Nag’’
“Blow” a little— Incidentally to
“Drop a few neighborly remarks”
with the bridge keeper
Russell “Opened” by handing out
one of his “folders”
“OLE CAMPBELL RUSSELL”
repeated the Bridge Keeper some-
what mechanically as be read the
head line
"YEAH” said Russell a little un-
certain as to his ground
After a little temperary “sparing”
for position the following dialogue
took place:—
Bridge Keeper — "Guess there’s
two men I’ll vote for” — Ole A1 Jen-
nlns and this feller over at Table-
quah — What's is name?”
Russell — T (Calling
name)
Bridge Keeper — "Yeah that’s it”
—Ole Al Just admits he ’us a thief”
Russell — “And the Tahlequah
man does be make any admissions
along that line?”
B K— “No oh no”
R — "Then upon wbat ground do
you support him?”
B K — "Upon his recommenda--tlons
— MY but be is recommended
did you read his literature?”
R — “Not all of It — I have bad
SOME other work to do — I read
enough to see that he recommends
himself very highly”
B K — “OH but these are signed
by his neighbors — men w’ho have
known him since he was a boy — That
Is bound to be a POWERFUL smart
man”
R-— “Instead of bothering his
neighbors to tell the public how
SMART he is would It not be better
for him to accept Russell's invitation
to make joint appointments — speak
from the same platform to the same
audience — and let the people draw
their own conclusions”
B K — “Is he a runnln agin OLE
CAMPBELL?”
R— “Sure”
B K— (Giving the “High” sign)
“I’ve dun forgot him right now”
(after a moments reflection) “Say
that feller alnt half as smart as his
neighbors think he Is”
R — (much relieved) “Better
come up and hear Russell speak to-
night” B K— “No this bridge will keep
me too late — tell OLE CAMPBELL
I’m for him”
Russell drove slowly away sollll-
qulsing upon the folly of the man
who would discard a “Trump" just
for the fun of seeing wbat be might
draw

Norman Grant walked down
steps of his club
It had been raining The pave-
ment glistened as the light from the
big lamp In the club porch shone up-
on It But the rain had ceased now
and a few stars shone as through a
mist from the sky
Grant buttoned up his overcoat
and strode off rapidly The streets
were almost deserted It was long
past midnight
There was a feeling within him
that urged him on It had never
been there before He wanted to be
away from the club— to be alon— to
think — to reason things out
Jephson had started this feeling
Jephson was a member of the club
He had been very jolly and free with
his money tonight The other fel-

suddenly at his face
“Norman dear! Norman dear!”
she said and burst Into tears
A longing to take her in his arms
came to Grant but he forced It back
Perhaps they had both been to blame
Perhaps they both were wrong But
what was the use of starting It all
over again? It would bring added
misery If there was another ending
like this And yet — and yea —
- His thoughts were Interrupted by
Grace’s voice She was looking at
him smilingly weakly and dabbling
her eyes with her handkerchief
“Of course you can ace Dulcle ’’
she explained “She isn’t bad as that
now She was asleep when I left her
Come up the stairs very quietly”
Grant followed her up the stairs
It all seemed very strange very un-
real He told himself he was dream-
ing He would wake soon He
would find himself in bed In the big
gray lonely boarding house with
nothing to look forward to
Grace ppened the door of the
room where Dulcle lay and Grant
tiptoed over and sat down by the
side of the bed
He saw an altered Dulcle The
plump dimpled cheeks had wasted
and lost their color A sob rose to
bis throat as he bent over and rever
ently kissed the slightly parted lips
Grace went to the other side of the
bed and began to untie the string of
the package
Dulcle opened her eyes just as the
golden-haired head of the doll was
peeping above the cardboard box
“Oh!” she cried “Oh mummy!”
And held out two thin hands
Grace stooped and laid the doll on
the bed at Dulcle’a aide
With dady’a love” she whisper
ed
Dulcle turned her head and saw
her father Her mouth opened in as
tonlshment and her brown eyes then
seemed to become bigger and bigger
Daddy’s come to see his little
girl’’ continued Grace slowly “and
nd he’s never going to leave her
any more are you dady?
“No never any more” said Grant
huskily
And then both parents began tyo
take an unaccountable fnteres
showing Dulcle exactly how to make
the golden-haired doll open and shut
It’s eyes

ANOTHER SCAR OBLITERATED
One by one the unfortunate scars
of the Civil War are being obliterat-
ed At one time such a thing would
have been impossible The bitterness
of blood was In the hearts of the
survivors of the armies of the north
and south Time heals all wounds
The survivors ot that unfortunate
struggle are nearing the end togeth-
er Each side has a true apprecia-
tion of the valor of the other It Is
only after the men have met in bat-
tle that they can realize the true

lows had chaffed him and drunk to
his health and to the health of Mrs
Jephson and someone else
The “someone else” was a baby
Jephson very proud and happy and
self-conscious bad just come down
to tell them about it and receive their
congratulations
Grant walked one He could have
cursed Jephson All he had tried to
forget for one long year hal been rak-
ed up from the past The old bitter
memories had come back and the
cruel pain gnawed at his heart He
felt that he would have struck Jeph-
son had he remained any longer at
the club
Grant passed the big gray houses
of London Some had lights In their
windows still and others were
shrouded In gloom
About 10 minutes’ walk brought
him to the front door with his latch
key There was a feeble glimmer of
gas light on the first landing and
this Grant extinguished as usual af-
ter be had mounted the stairs
II
The clock on the mantelpiece of
Grant’s bedroom struck 2 The chime
was soft and musical and the sound
died away slowly lingeringly like
the sound of church bells
Grant was In his shirt sleeves
kneeling on the floor rummaging in
a box It was a box containing many
books and papers and Grant llttter-
ed the room with them He had
thrown some upon the bed stood
some on a chair plied some at the
side of the box
He had remembered that It must
be nearing Dulcle’a birthday He
wasn't sure of the date and he had
nearly emptied the box before he
found the birthday book that would
tell him But It came to view at last
and he blew the dust from it and
turned over Its gilt-edged pages
Tomorrow was Dulcle’a birthday worth of bravery Courage is easy
Tomorrow she would be six years old ( to talk about but a test Is required
Her name was written In the book In before it can be fully displayed
his own writing and the Ink was fad- The old guard In blue and the old
ed It had been written on the day guard In gray are nearing the end
that Dulcle was born when he had j The ashes of hate only remain The
felt like Jephson had felt at the club tireg burned brightly at one time1
tonight but these fires have practically been
Grant rose slowly to hie feet with
the little book In his band He turn-( “
ed a few more pages and another
name came before bis eyes
Then he quickly closed the birth-
day book and sat upon the edge of
the bed The old memories were
crowding back They were coming
upon him and overwhelmingly him
and he felt dazed
lie thought of Grace — his wife—
and realized that perhaps there had
been faults on both sides Perhaps
they were both to blame Anyhow
If he alone was wrong he had suf-
fered It was nearly a year now since the
last bitter quarrel and the separa-
tion — nearly a year since he had
seen Grace or Dulcle their child Dul-
cle with her big brown eyes and her
dimpled 'cheeks and her pretty soft
curls
Ill
Grant had the tag written ready so
when he went Into a toy shop the
next day and choose a big golden-
haired doll that closed Its eyes wnen
laid upon Its back all be had to do
after the doll had been put into a
cardboard box and made Into a neat
package was to tie on the tax w hich
bore the words: “To Dulcle with
daddy’s love”
He then took a short train Jour-
ney Grace had gone to live with her
grandparents after the separation
and the house was In the suburbs
The maid who answered the door
to Grant looked at him strangely
when he asked If Mrs Grant was In
and said his name didn’t matter
However she showed him Into the
sitting room and Grant waited his
heart beating
He was Just beginning to wonder
whether Grace had guessed his Iden-
tity quickly and would refuse to see
him when the door opened and she
entered M
She was looking very pale and sad
and her eyea told of teara and sleep-
lCSSl) 688
She started back upon seeing who
her visitor was and a wave of color
swept across her cheeks
Grant came forward with extended
bB“U’s Dulcle’a birthday” he said
softly “Don’t be angry with me I —
I thought I’d like to nee her and give
her a present”
Grace stood looking at him ine
surprise of seeing him there seemed
to have temporarily deprived her of
speech With an effort she forced
herself to speak
“Dulcle has been very 111 she re-
plied In an unsteady voice "Very
ill Indeed We had almost given up
hope But she’s getting better now
I shotfld have sent for you — father
told me to— but I didn’t know where
you were I wrote once but my let-
ter was returned from — from the old
addre
There was a moment’s silence Mr
Grant was thinking of Dulcle’s other
birthdays and wondering why this
one was so different Dulcle his
Dulcle had been 111 almost dying
and he hadn’t known! But she was
getting better A feeling of thank-
fulness came to him
He held out the package Grace
took It mechanically looking down
at the tag Then she glanced up
burned out Now and then some
hotheaded son of the men who fougb
tries to fan the fire once more Into
flames" Such efforts are futile This
has been shown time and again The
country has no sympathy for such
agitators
Last week Representative Graham
of Pennsylvania Republican dis-
covered an almost forgotten statute
on the nation’s law books It was
enacted at the close of the war that
among other measures designed to
punish “disloyalty”
The statute made It unlawful for
any officer of the government to pay
any account claim or demand
against the United States which ac-
crued or existed prior to April 13
1861 In favor of any person who pro-
moted encouraged or In any manner
sustained the rebellion or who dur-
tng the rebellion was not known to
be opposed to It and distinctly In fav-
or of suppressing it and no pardon
before or after granted waa to an
tborlxe the payment of such claims
Congreuiuau Graham moved the
repeal of the statute In a brief speech
so apt appropriate and timely that
many wet eyes told how his simple
talk affected the older members of
the lower house A southern Demo-
crat from the far side of the chamb-
er arose walked across to Mr Gra
ham and grasped his hand By una-
nomous vote the motion prevailed
With one voice Democrats and Rep-
ublicans declared the old law obso-
lete Another scar was obliterated
The Incident may be considered
trivial It was not It was another
little incident which Bhows the spirit
of a united kingdom Congressman

lows be still
