-Who?
Discard the Old Song of "I
Would Not Live Always,
I Ask Not Here
To Stay."
There are two spry gentlemen
in this town and they are sixty-
nine and seventy-nine years
young each.
We see you smile and you say
that is one of those pretty stories
that go out to please the old
folks.
But listen:
Bro. P. Jay Martin is sixty-nine
years young and he can preach
one of the strongest kinds of a
sermon and he gets around like
a boy. He says with emphasis
that he intends to live to be one
hundred years old. He talks like
he never overlooked it, or he
would have placed the date at
two hundred years. He can go
all the gaits that a young man can
and then leave some of them far
in the rear in the race. Go get
his methods for longevity of life
and you will see that he is all
right on that point. He explains
that he would have been a good
man, physically, had he taken
care of himself when young, and
that he was eighty years old
at forty, simply because he did
not take care of himself and work
ed too hard. He frequently
worked from 3 a. m. to 11 p. m
and had his feet frozen in the
chilly winters of Indiana. It is
a pleasure to meet such men
men who have not given up be-
cause everything failed to come
their way, and men who are
broad enough to visit all members
of any other church in the true
Christian spirit. He belongs to
the Christian church-is the
pastor of the church at this place.
He does not belong to our church,
but we do not preach him tother
way, simply becaure he has as
much chance to the kingdom as
any man we know of.
Now, go to Dixie, having been
toying with the man from Yankee
Doodle.
H. F.Harrison, "Daddy," as
some call him, is seventy-nine
years young and carries his
weight like a sweet girl graduate
—as gracefully. He can run,
skip and if you get him a quiet,
secluded spot with few on-lookers
he will jump up and crack his
heels together twice before he
hits the earth again. He chal-
lenges some of the young men to
a wrestle—any old style from a
Frank Gotch back break to an In-
jun hug, but there are no takers,
simply because the yonng men
know there is all to lose and noth-
ing to gain, witii a decided
chance on the losing side. He is
a life-long Methodist and may
live to be a hundred, though he
has not set his pegs to any cer-
tain spot.
Either of them seems to be
discarding the old song of "I
would not live always, I ask not
here so stay."
Back to Brother Martin. He
is an astronomer. Not a single
astronomer at Yerkes observa-
tory or at the Lick observatory
said the comet would be visible
Friday night last. Brother Mar
tin said it would be plainly seen
at or near eight o'clock. He had
thus figured it out, and that is
the way it was, for at 8:00 the
comet was up the low north of
west, shining at the old earth
and the fellows thereon whom he
scared so badly.
R. M. Hamilton and wife left
Tuesday for Farmington, Mo.,
where they will spend a few
weeks before they go to Val-
paraiso, Ind., where Mr. Hamil-
ton will attend the summer ses-
sion of the famous school at that
place. There was warm and
fervent good-bye criven to these
people at the depot of the Orient
as they bid good-bye to Sentinel
friends, and it certainly appeared
that the good wishes were recip-
rocative as the train carried
away these people.
"Jones'11 fix your clock.''
The Next Governor
Editor Sentinel Leader:
With your permission, I will
ease my mind of a few thoughts
on the "Burning Issue."
With candor and earnestness
characteristic of the man, the
Hon. Lee Cruce, of Ardmore, is
now making the race for Gover-
nor of Oklahoma, on the demo-
cratic ticket. He has been
prominent figure in his party
councils ever since the agitation
of statehood began. His long
residence here, his sound judg-
ment and well known integrity,
have placed him in the front rank
of Oklahoma defenders-of Ok-
lahoma statesmen.
Unlike the demagogue, Cruce
is making no rash promises in
order to reach the high office of
Governor. He is meeting every
issue squarely and honestly, tell-
ing the people what he stands
for and what he proposes to do
in the event of his election.
Democratic hosts have not for-
gotten his valuable services dur-
ing the first state campaign, out
of which he came unscathed and
more popular than before. He
has ever been true to himself, to
his party and to this, his adopted
state. He will not stoop to class
hatred nor listen to sectional
strife. He demands laws just
and equitable to all alike. Says
the Oklahoma banking law is
"the best ever wrjtten in Amer-
ica;" that the "school fund is
sacred and should not be invested
in a speculative manner;" thinks
the railroads and the federal
courts are usurping powers just-
ly belonging to the people; ad-
vises voters to hold fast to section
9, article 9, of the constitution
and not cripple our present effi-
cient railroad commission by re-
peal of same.
And in all other matters touch-
ing the vital interests of Oklaho-
ma Lee Cruce is of and for the
people. In my humble opinion
the democratic party will make
no mistake in nominating for the
next Governor of Oklahoma the
Hon. Lee Cruce, of Ardmore.

There is a difference between a

Many stories are like ashes;

Sheep are most persistent gam-

The pig has never been known

It keeps the society doctors

The chanticleer hat proves that
not only must city folks look to
the farmyard for their living, but
also for their styles.
Always stand up for the right,
but do not wear yourself out with
worry because you can not turn

day.

Ankle Sprained.
Tuesday night at the skating
rink Tom Behne, one of the 12-
year-old twins of C. E. Behne,
fell and sprained an ankle badly.
At first it was reported that his
leg was broken, but it was not
so bad as reported, we are glad
to say. It seems that another
boy fell on him.
Building Notes.
They are whooping the work
of the six brick buildings right

work has been done and the
workmen only lost about one-
half day on account of the rains
on any of the buildings that are
being erected.
