County Attorney Weddon was
here the iatter part of the week
prosecnting some Monnd town-
ship road oases. When he found
however, that the parties under
arrest were willing to pay their

an adjustment of personal differ-
ances than a criminal prodeedure
Millhorns Colt Show Saturday
was well attended there being
forty-five oolts shown. W. E.
Morgan won first premium on the
draft colts and E. T. Huston, sec-
ond, George Vangilder won
first on the roadster colts and
Wm. Roberts, second. R. W,
Grnnthum won first and second
or mulee :ird then sold the pair
for $170. Wm. Dallue e also sold
his colt at $85. James Shawver
was the buyer.
The business men of Cushing
have organized for the purpose
of paying as high a price for cot-
ton as is paid by any buyer in any
town in Oklahoma, which is all
well enough if the staple pro-
duced in the Cushing district is
of a grade equal to the best
grown in the state. Perry could
not afford to do this unless qual-
ity would be considered, as our
ootton is off on quality from that
grown on the Cimmuron bottom.
And for this there is a reason
why the Pivne county market is
p just a shade high-tr than Perry.
J, S. Anderson Wins Suit,
The special premium offered by
Henry Phenix of a $10,00 suit to
the one who did the best piece of
road work with the least expense
was awarded to J. 8. Anderson
' by the committee who was over
the road on the 17th, Those
contesting were.
Gus Laforge
S. C. Fleming
J. 8. Anderson
W. T. Larmer
The businessmen who went out
8unday were highly pleased with
all of the work done by different
parties, but as Anderson's work
was dore with no expense except
a small amount of poll tax work,
he was awarded the suit. Mr.
Phenix just volunteered to give
this as an extra incentive to the
good roads move. The farmers
along these roads should feel
proud to think they have helped
make the roads as good as they
are. There is nothing helps a
community as muoh as good
reads. The first thing a stranger
says when he comes among us is
how are the roads and then he
says how are your schools? Well
let us have good roads and good
schools and then we will have
good people, for those who don't
like to be in the front for improve-
ments will give way to the one
who is willing to boost his country
all the time with all his might.
Let us have more roads and bet-
ter roads.
The committee who awarded
the special prize are:

inquisitive board or.
"1 refuse to answer."

PHOTOGRAPHY AT 8EA.
Not the least attractive feature of
the modern ocean liner is the com-
pletely equipped dark room placed
at the disposal of passengers. One
or more cabins are set aside for the
purpose. The dark room is supplied
with metal tank®, running water,
raexs, trays aud ail possible equip-
ment, together flith eiectric ruby
lamps which may b* switched on or
off. As a rule, this room will per-
mit several people to work together,
if they desire. An experienced pho-
tographer is placed in charge, who
will coach amateur photographers Ifl
desired. A complete stock of pho-
tographic supplies is, of course, car-j
ried aboard. It is a common sight|
to see a tourist who has taken a snap-
shot on deck, for instance, appear!
a few hours later and display the fin- N ..
ished mounted photograph.

OUM-IME SUMMER DRINKS.
In the old days one braced him-
self for hot weather with plenty oi
"cool drinks," that is to say, liquid
lire Villi ice in it. In this respect
science is bringing about a notable!
reform. However the doctors may)
be divided as to the hai.nfulncss of
alcohol in general, they are agreed
that it is not the thing for hot
weather, and th<*e who are not its
slaves carefully avoid it at such
times. The day of the mint julep,
the gin rickey and other "pegs" sup-
posed to be especially comforting in
hot weather has passed, and the
world is learning that the best thf&g
about them is the ice.—Springfield

CKU80E IN MANHATTAN.
Another reason why an English-
man is apt to tire of New York with
unexpected rapidity is the curious
isolation of the city. One feels in
New York singularly cut off from
the rest of the world and not least
from the rest of America. Personal-
ly T confess I never really regard
myself as in the United States until
New York is left behind and I am
free of its atmosphere of concen-
trated self sufficiency. ... A Lon-
doner who is used to being at the
center of things and watching be-i
neath his very eyes the convergence
of a thousand worldwide interests!
not only feels in New York that he
has been banished to the outer cir-J
cumferenee, but feels also that he has
left England without really reaching,
America.—From the narrative of a
revisiting Englishman in Harper's
Weekly.
DUTY OF HAPPINE88.
There is no duty we so much un-
derrate as the duty of being happy.
By being happy, we sow anonymous
benefits upon the wo^d, which re-
main unknown even to ourselves, or
when they are disclosed, surprise no-
body so much as the benefactor. A
happy man or woman is a better
thing to find than a five-pound note.
He or she is a radiating foens of
good will; and their entrance in'o
a room is as though another candle
had been lighted. We need not care
whether they could prove the forty-
seventh proposition ; they do a bet'er
thing than that, they practically
demonstrate the great theorem of
the liveableness of life.—iiobert

IN SCIENCEVILLE.
The Visitor—High Olympus, but
there's a beautiful monument! What
here could have inspired so costly a
structure ?
The Native—That's a tribute to
the germ of appendicitis, sir. Come
up and read the inscription. You'll
see it's a token of grateful apprecia-
tion from 11,31)7 surgeon*.
