interested hearts; "Mrs. R. 8. Smith of

From the Vn'trd Si<i!<* Monthly. "To

human soul is a privilege that the state
exportation, transportation and sale of all
alcoholic liquors as a beueiage" were
prettDUd, aggregating forty seven thou-

half a million representative signatures,

iag lu Congress lor fourteen years and
was favorably reported by committees In
the last twn congress* h. Speaking of
uuch petitions presented during prior ses
lions, the senate committee In its report
of July o 1181. says as follows: "Judging
from tho petitions which have been
prensnted toCmgress during the last few
years, many of which are representative
of great bodies and of communities whose
Individual signatures have not been ob
talned, It can hardly b# doubted that at
least ten millions of the American |>eople
are deairious of national legislation for

Hon. Richard TrtvilUck, a leader
among the K (lights of Labor, considers
intemperance the cirsa of organiz-d
]abor. He says; The labor question will
never be settled until the liquor question
is. If the money spent for liquor every
year was turned into the labor channels
for two years there would not bo an idle
man in America, and there wculd not be
enough workmen to produce what is
needed.'

ITUrK Wins.
We desire to say to our citiiens that for
years we have been selling Dr. K-ug's
New Discovery for Consumption, Dr.
King's New Life Pills, Bucllen's Arnica
Salve and E ectric R tiers, and have nev.r
handled remedies that sell as well, or that
have given tucli univtrial satisfaction.
We do uot h sttale to guarantee them

A< rlCUltOTftl interests will lead in Okla-
homa beyouel a doubt. For ii ty years
pust the noil in somo portions of itic Ter
' ritory has been in cultivation and for the
punt twonty-!lvo ynrs it considerable
amount of it. Although during thai
period of lime miny years of drouth and
fit.lure uf cropa has prevailed in statcB
turn unding the Territory, here no failure
ot crops has ever been heard of. The
Oklahoma country, and, in fact, the
greater portion of toe entire Indian Terri
tory, will, when in a state of cultivation,
becomc one of the richest farming e im-
munities on the American continent.—
Norman Tra n nerip t
There is a burden of care in getting
riches—fear in keeping them: temptation
in using them; guilt in abusing them;
sorrow in losing them, and a burden of
account at last to be rendered up con
cerning them.—M. Henry.
« •
Hint to Mother*.
O, mothers, it is worth a grest deal to
cultivate that "excellent thing in woman"
a low, sweet voice. If you are eyer b j
much tired by the mischievous or willful
pranks of the little ones, speak low. It
will be a great help to you to even try to
be patient and cheerful, if you cannot
wholly succeed. Anger makes you
wretched, and your children also. Im-
patient, angry tones never did the heart
good, but plenty of evil. You cannot
have theexcuse for them that they lighten
your burdens; they only make them ten
time s heavier. For your own sake, as
well as the children's sake, learn to speak
low. They will remember that tone
when your head is under the willows.
So, too, would they remember a harsh
and augry voice. Which legacy will you
leave to your children?—Selected.
A Safe Investment
Is one which is guaranteed to bricg satis-
factory retults, or, in case of failure, a
return of purchase price. On this safe
plan you eau buy from our ndyertised
druggist a bottle of Dr. King s New Dis-

No Si About It.
There wa? a knock at the door of Aunt
Fannies pleasant kitchen one morning,
and on the steps stood a little girl with a
covered basket on her arm.
•'Don't you want to buy something?"
she asked, as she entered the house.
"Here are some nice heme-knit stock-
ings."
' Surely you did not knit these stock-
ings yourself, little girl!" said Aunt
Fannie.
' No, ma'am, but grandma did; she is
lame and she sits still and knits the
things and I ruu about and sell them,
that's ths nay ws get along. She says
we are partners, and so wrote out a sign
and rut 1* over the ^replace, 'Grandma
and Masrgie."'
Aunt Fannie laughed and bought the
stoekings, and as she counted out the
money to pay for them Maggie said
"Thie will buy the bread and butter for
supper."
"What If you had not sold nnythingl'
said Aunt Fannie.
But Maggie shook her head. "You see
we prayed, 'Give ui this day our dally
bread,' and God hrH promised to hear
folks pray, so I guiss there wasn't any
•ir about it. When He says things they're
sure and certain."—Selected,

The Choctaw council at Tuskahoma
adjourned on Friday evening, the 15th
inst. at 8 o'clock. The work of this body
during the present session has been of
little importance outside of the appoint

Most all the acts passed have been of a
local nature, such as changing county
seats, etc.—Indian Citizen.
About 111 Hrothcr.
Several years ago ray brother, who
j liv, s with me, had a very strange sore to
I break out on his leg—about half way be-
| tween the body and the knee—which
I afterwards developed into a rose cancer.
11: resulted from a bruise made by the
1 rubbing of the s'.irrup-leathtr while
ridi"g.
! The cancer continued to grow until it
was about five inches long, and three
wide. The ilesh sloughed off, black,
i rotten and joul, and ii was almost impos
I s hie to procure a servant lhat would
wait upon him, the air in the room where
he lay being so foul that it would sicisn
j anyone who entered. Every physic.an
| of any prominence in the State was con-
sulted, and treated my brother without
success. One doctor finally advised him
to try Swift's Specific (S. S. S.); he did
I so, and used nothing else. He com-
menced to improve immediately, and
I after taking several bottles was com-
pletely cured, and since 1884 not a syrup
tom of the disease has manifested itself.
