nALIFORNIA'S complaining
'"' about being over-run by pover-
7' irstricath Oklahomans is getting
' ill DS sattletling of an issue between
t ' the Estee '
California's gorgeous climate and
land of sunshine and opportunity
advtatisibg has been too too elec
-
And now California is not act-
- ing TticelY at all because some of
- the people 'Who respond to the ad-
Vertising are not prosperous but
- poverty-stricken
Dr D W Griffin of Oklahoma's
Hospital Tor the insane in an in-
' ferview Sunday spoke severely
abOut California's custom of ship-
ping the insane directly back Into
4 - Oklahoma apparently to run at
large without proper identification
And this morning the relief
authorities released an interview
far the morning papers in which
they pointed out that California
cannot very Well enforce its laws
upon other states It seems that in
order to be a resident of California
you must have lived there three
years but yott can establish resi-
&rice in Oklahoma in one year
However if you have been out of
Oklahoma more than a year you
are no longer a resident Califor-
nia disregards Oklahoma's law and
shipg them back even though they
have been there for two years and
a half and spent what they had
For the past year or more we
have heard stories of discourtesies
shOwn to Oklahomans in Califor
nia
- "Oh—you're an Oakie are you?"
seems to be the customary greeting
: th people from Oklahoma
t The Relief bureau of Oklahoma
' polats out that Oklahoma is get
ting just about as many indigents
from California as California has
been getting from them but has
not ' raised nearly as much fuss
about it
- Alight California—you are glad
enough to have the people from
Oklahoma who have money to
spend but just keep on and you'll
see your tourist business begin to
slacken The pendulum will swing
back and you'll be crying again!
MRS C Rasbury efficient
peke goods department head
St the L T Hill store is looking
forward to next week with a "fish
out of water" feeling
"When L T Hill's store closes Sat-
- urday" she remarked "it will be
the first time in 26 yeras that I
have been without steady employ-
ment Extept for vacations I have
been an employee that long Yes
I started quite young" she admits
in answer to your question
4-'' B Intel is having to put up
'with a good many jibes and
senseless questions as the result of
Ina athletic career as a golfer ten-
nis player and ping-pong artist be-
ing brought to a temporary stop by
a torn ligament in one leg
He suffered the injury last week
while playing tennis
"How is he—is he walking with
a cane?" was one question today
"Well I didn't see him come to
work" is the careful and judicious
answer of a fellow-employee "he
may have tome in a wheel-chair'
"If I had come in a wheel-chair"
said Imel" it certainly would not
have Caused any more interest
than just the fact that I had to
lean on a cane did This bunch
get out here in the halls and line
up and look r4 me"
Yes—human nature is a funny
thing When your ailments do not
appear likely to be fatal the rest
' of the work finds them interesting
and all but entertaining There's
something about an able-bodied
activi chap reduced to leaning on
a cane which inspires many an un-
necessary remark
If you don't believe IL A B—
ask O IL Lachenineyer—he had
the same malady got it the same
way playing tennis used what ap-
pears to be the same cane and
heard just about the same wise-

To Surprise Grandmother
I turned to look at the child My
glance of mild interest became one
of near-awe I don't think I've tver
seen a more beautiful child

HiE big brown eyes responded at
once to my own friendliness "I'm
going to see my Grandmother" his
little mouth looking as though it
had been kissed by angels confided
I wanted to rumple the brown curls
that clusteild about his face like
the petals of a Sewer Instead I
"turned over" the eggs that had
been ordered "open eyes"
"And I'll bet your grandmother
will be glad to see you' I answered Servtce

"Oh Grandmother will be sur-

At this proud moment her husband
roused from his semi-eonselousness

that night "But wait we'll be

"It wouldn't surprise met"

to drop any minute and I feel the
same way"-
Grandmether Is Surprised
Jim ditiret seem to think my Joke
was funhy "That reminds Me"
he said "one of those woodhauler's
horses dropped dead right otdi in
front of our place this evening
That it fell exhausted: I think
It would have been all right in a
little while if he'd let 'it rest a
while but he kicked the poor beast
and made it get tip It managed
to get to its feet and walk on be-
side its mate tut not saddled
with that he forced it into a trot
and up bill too I saw it fall again
up the road a piece and it didn't
get up that time"
"Even the woodhaulers have It'
I replied
'Have what?' Jim asked puzzled
"Mass-rush-hysteria" I enlight-
ened hilt'
"I hope you know what you're
talking itticiut" he flung back hur-
rying away for a few hours' sleep
I picked up the evening paper
and glanced over it
"MAN WOMAN AND CHILD
MEET DEATH IN SANDIA PASS
Man falls asleep at the wheel it
thought Car plunges Into chasm below All three killed
Instantly"
There was more but I Couldn't
read it I felt sick all over
"'Grandmother will be surprised
won't she Mother?'" my heart kept
Saying while with a sardonic twitch
my lips repeated their answer:
"'WE'VE SURE MADE TIME!' "
They'd made time all right
They'd even beat Destiny t won-
dered if that one in Proverbs would
apply to their' and some of the
rest of us "And he that hasteth
with his feet sinneth"
You'd think we mortals would
learn finally that we can't make
time God does that and He won t
even let us crowd it
"Too bad about that horse falling
dead out here wasn't it?" allowed
Tad the milkman straddling a
stool for his usual coffee and "ring-
ers" "Wasn't it" I affirmed absently
"Something ought to be done
about the way those wood-haulers
treat their horses don't you think?"
he persisted
"Yes something out to be doriel

"It is gratifying to see this de-

declared "for it shows that this

"A decrease such as this shows
what can be accomplished when

"Chris ought to get away soon"
she told Ted Lawrence "I'm worried
about him Ted And if he wants
that awful Mortimer place— You
might talk to him about it"
"Why not do it yourself Katie?"
She shook her head "No influ-
ence" she said "I've lost all I had
if I ever had any"
That day sitting limberly in what
she had called her morning room
she told Ted flatly and without ex-
tenuation the story el her marriage
"He didn't want me of course"
she finished "He never has wanted
me I was a tool I thought he might
care if I gave him time enough But
he never did Then lately when I
thought he might be better without
me I did this to him! I can't leave
him now I never can leave him
Ted"
Ted looked at her Did she hon-
estly feel that she could hot leave
Chris ?
"I'm not sorry for myself" ph
said "Don't think that Ted But
FM Sorry for Chris Desperately
sorry He wanted children and I
didn't" She shivered "I was afraid
And of course he has always wanted
somebody else You know that don't
you ? I just stood in the way and
I'm still in the way"
"If there is anything I can do—"
he said awkwardly
"Not unless you can turn the
clock hack!" she said with a touch of
her old gallantry But she was still
Katie "What's ahead of me Ted?"
she said "I'm still young He may
stay in the country and if I'm to be
buried in that Mortimer hole go
eracy And I ean't leave him now
We're tied together like two cats by
the tall"
She was crying when he left her

It was late spring when Chris
finally faced forth into the world of
living men again Little by little be
was becoming accustomed to his
condition could drive his own tar
could sign his name with greater
ease But he knew he was through
He had built his reputation as a stir-
geon but even if general practice
had offered Itself it required two
hands
He spent the following days burn
ing his bridges He Closed and gave
up the downtown office and submit-
ted his resignation to the hospital
doing it at a staff meeting and
standing rather white but very
calm
He was surprised and moved
when they did not accept it They
gave him a sabbatical year instead
and More if he needed it and told
him that he would be back among
them long before that
"Go away and play for a while"
they said "You've earned it"
By June he was ready to go Katie

came for his departure he stood
with ber in the hall Piled about
them were their lares and penates
which had never really been his and
his bags lay at his feet as they had

when she had come in and he had
taken her and Married her Now he
looked down et her a little heavy
and not a little sulky Then he bent
down and kissed her

I'll ask you to come and see me if
you care to"
"Who will look after you?"
"I think Hiram Mortimer has

"L see" she said sullenly 'A
woman Any woman but me!"
That was their farewell

Chris lay in Letitia's room in the
Mortimer house His right arm was
on a pillow When he turned in the
night he moved the pillow also and
placed his arm on it Folded over
the foot of the bed was Letitia's Star
of Bethlehem quilt: beside him was
a table with a lamp a few books
and his pipe and tobacco and
acmss the room was the old maple
bureau with his splint on it
Thebed was wide but there was
a hollow on old David's side and
wherever Chris started at night in
the morning he would find himself in
that hollow He was there now
From outside came the early morn-
ing sounds of the country cocks
crowing the deliberate movement
of horse-drawn vehicles some one
at a distance letting down bars for
cows and calling softly to them:
"So boss So boss Come along
Get along there"
Soon Mrs Miller would come from
her cottage near by and he would
hear her rattling the big coal stove
In the kitchen
He pulled tie t!tt-iiitV his pa-
Janie and looked at is arm
It seemed to him that the muscles
already looked atrophied and lying
there he began to massage them

Murray to carry to the warden an

a small dog sitting beside him After
that the dog came daily Chris took
to keeping part of hi a dinner for
him and to watching for him The
dog would eat with dignity and then
sit beside him thinking the long'
quiet thoughts of his kind and ask-
ing nothing
"Queer little devil" Chris thought
"All dogs are queer Of all the beasts
the only ones to forsake their kind
and take up with us God alone
knows why" -
It was the dog that broke
through that apathy of his for one
day he took him for a walk After
that it was a settled matter Chris
striding On the dog pursuing its
own interests but coining back to
his heels It was ctmpanionship
with no demands and slowly Chris
began to improve
Then Noel came back from school
shy at first sitting on the porch and
making friends through the dog
"What's his name?"
"I don't know I would call him
Caesarr--I had a dog named Caesar
one—but he's rather small for such
a name"
Noel sitting there in his blue
overalls and looking tip at him with
Ursula's eyes under that blond
thatch that was Jerry's Anxious
like the puppy to be friendly and
uncertain how to go about it Very
tactful about the arm too Chris
was to wonder later whether the
I boy had not saved his reason if not ti)
his life for there were times when
he tontemplated making away with
himself: It would be easy quick
and easy and then one could sleep
and never waken—unless of course
one did waken somewhere else as
David had believed
It was about that time that he
began to take a drink at night in
order to get to sleep Ile had
brought a bottle of Scotch with him
and after lying awake for hour he
would get up pour some into a glass O
add a little plain water and drink it
It would send a comfortable glow
over him then after a time it would
act as a depressant The blood would
go out of his head he would stop
thinking and sleep
When that bottle was exhausted
he got another from the village boot-
legger It was pure escape He held
it in his hand and looked at it re-
membering the days of his city prac-
tice Now it was he who was seek-
ing release and forgetfulness
With the coming of morning he
would hear Noel's whistle It was
a whistle Chris had taught him
"All policemen have flat feet" were
the unsung words behind it and
Noel was thrilled with it Chris
whistled hack and Fot fatefully out
of bed This was his life the life he
had chosen Don't think Don't re-
member Don't even hope Live this '
day as it comes and every day
