Among the spectators at a match
between the Blackburn Rovers andj
the Olympic was a little lad about

knowledge of tbe game may have
been limited, bis notion of correct
play was extremely robust. nntfO inr ran ami

When his parent neatly "grassed''
one of i he opposing forwards, the
youngster expressed approval by
bawling, "Good fer yer, owd 'en," add-
ing proudly to the spectors, "Feyther
'ad 'im sweet."
"Yes." said a hearer, "but he'll get
killed before the game's finished."
"I don't care a carrot if he does,"
said the boy.—London Tit-Bits.
BABY WASTED TO SKELETON
"My little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out on bis face. I had a physi-
cian treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then I
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
so bad that I had to tie his hands In
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
"My aunt advised me to try Cutl-
cura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. I can sincerely say
that only for Cutlcura my child would
have died. I used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
"I am a nurse and my profession
brings me into many different fam-
ilies and it is always a pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shel-
don, Litchfield, Conn., Oct. 23, 1909."

The execution of Dr. H. H. Crlppen,
who was convicted and sentenced to
death for the murder of his wife, Belle-
Elmore Crippen, was Monday postpon-
ed i]ntil November 23. This announce
raont was made in the wake of sen3.
tiunal cablegrams which came fro;
the United States stat:ng the bel
that Bclle-Elmore Crlppen si ill liv:
There should not be a case of indiges-
: tion, dyspepsia or gastritis here if read-
| era who are subject to Stomach trou-
j ble knew the tremendous anti-ferment
j and digestive virtue contained In Dia-
i pepsin. This harmless preparation
will digest a heavy meal without
j the slightest fuss or discomfort, and
| relieve the sourest, acid stomach in
; five minutes, besides overcoming all
! foul, nauseous odors from the breath.
If your stomach is sour and full of
gas, or your food doesn't digest, and
your meal don't seem to fit, why not
get a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin
from any druggist here in town, and
make life worth living. Absolute re-
lief from Stomach misery and perfect
digestion of anything you eat is sure
to follow five minutes after, and be-
sides, one fifty-cent case is sufficient
to cure a whole family of such trouble.
Surely, a harmless, inexpensive
preparation like Pape's Diapepsin,
which will always either at daytime
or during night, relieve your sick,
sour, gassy, upset stomach and digest
your meals, is about as handy and val-
uable a thing as you could have In the
house.

Despite the fact that the republic-
ans are Issuing reports tending to
*how that they will control the next
state legislature, reports which have
come in from over the state prove
almost beyond a shadow of a doubt
that the democrats will have a ma-
jority in both houses.
The democratic committee declares
that their figures show that the neil
senate will contain thirty-two demo-
crats, and the next house eiglity-flve
democrats, giving them a two-thirds
majority in each house.
The chief political bone of conten-
tion at present is the local option
amendment, but, Judging from the re-
' turns in, nothing short of a figurative
earthquake can save the amendment
from utter defeat.
Additional returns received Satur-
day but tended to increase the plural-
ity by which the drys are leading.
| Washita county returned a majority of
1,088 against the bill, Grant came in
the same column with 1,316, and other
counties followed with majorities
along the same line.
Despite the claim of the local op-
tionists, they appear to be able to
offer no tangible figures which show
that there is any reason on their side.
In a telephone dispatch to the Mus-
kogee Phoenix Thursday night they
stated that returns from twenty-five
counties put thdfii 8,000 in the lead,
and that they were counting on that
majority being swelled considerably
by the counties still out.
As a matter of fact, of the forty-
eight or fifty counties which have
been reported to this office the local
optionists have carried only twelve
Their total majority In these twe^e
counties, exclusive of the vote in coun-
ties where the plurality was against
the amendment, is only 4,155.
Putting Cruce's majority conserva-
tlvely. In view of the number of coun-
ties to report, he will receive between
20,000 and 25,000, though the chances
are that it will run above the last fig-
ure. '•
