Smitb goes to work about daylight
And tails away till late at night;
He never takes a day of rest,
He thinks that things would all go wrong
It he were not there right along.
And yet. If truth must be confessed
He has not risen very high.
Ha has not pushed blmself ahead.
And few will weep and few will sigh
When he lies dumb and cold and dead.

Jones goes to work at 8 or 10
And quits at S, and now and then
Is abwnt for a week or two
Success has met him on the way.
His death will be deplored some day;
And this but shows th«t, while 'tis true
That slothfuluess may be a sin.
To start at dawn and labor late
Is not enough alone to win-
Mere slaving does not make us great.

C. D. Abernathy, composing the
firm of W. A. Moore & Co., suc-
cessors to Moore & Gault who have
conducted a grocery business in
Mangum for more than a year, have
secured the large two story building
recently erected at Reed, and are
moving their business to that point.
To their grocery business they
are adding dry-goods and farm im-
plements, and propose to carry a
stock of general merchandise, and
to sell the same at prices that will
command the consideration of the
most skeptical buyers.
In other words, they propose to
give the people of that section the
advantage of buying goods just as
cheap at their home town as else-
where. They ask an investigation
and if worthy, the trade or the
people. W. A. Moore & Co.,

lion as there is in Oklahoma. He
is six years old, sixteen hands
high, weighs about 1050 pounds.
Sired by "Reno's baby," a horse
with a world's record. His dam's
pedigree runs back through sixteen
crosses of thoroughbred. He is
not a trained horse but can step a
mile in three minutes, goes all the
saddle gaits naturally. I have
good reasons for selling. If I don't
sell I will make from $400 to $600
out of him this year, standing him
at this place. Call on or address

For He Didn't Know.
One of the local public school
teaohtra, reports the Washington
Stir, insists that her pupils shall
w"p abreast of the times by read-
1 , Mi" newspapers every day, and
■r to learn if her directions
rried out interrogates the
ai crs of the class each morning
... .^hool is in session regarding
events of general interest. "What
U the name applied to the situation
when a man has more than two
wives?" inquired the teacher re-
cently, having in* mind the protests
against Reed Smoot being allowed
to retain his seat in the United
States senate. Nearly all the chil-
dren present raised their hands,
eager to reply. "Polygamy," an-
swered the child designated. "Cor-
rect," commented the teacher, very
much pleased. "Now, who can
toll me the name applied when a
man has two wives?" The rais-
ing of hands was not so general,
but the pupil called on was re-
warded with "That is right," when
he replied. "Bigamy." "Now,"
added the teacher, "what is the
name applied to the situation when
a man has only one wife?" After
a long pause a solitary hand was
hositatinfly raised. "Well," sug-
gested the teacher to the lone vol-
unteer, "tell the claas what is the
word to which I refer." "Monot-
•ny"
Dad's Way of Dclng Things.
Well, I'll just tell you boys that
old dad o' mine got more sense 'an
he looks to have. I don't care if
he did kick Joe Simkins ciear over
the wind brake. He'd orter been*
kicked; come a hangin' aroun' here
trying to set to sister Sal an' she
haint yet 21. Dad told him to stay
'way and he sneeked back and dad
cotched him, and golly, if you'd
seen him light all spraddled out in
the big road, then tucked his tail
and skinned out, and he haint been
back, nuther. An dad is lively to,
don't make any difference if he's
got rheumatiz. He was over fixin'
fence last week and you know thar
was a feller went up in a baloon ov-
er to town, well he got up as high
as he could and come down in some
kind of a shoot rite whar dad wnz.
Well when dad heard the noise and
and looked up and see him acomin
down, he didn't have no rheumatiz
fur ma said dad wuz to the house
rite. Ma, she lafed at dad about
it. He grabbed a bucket of water
and started to meet the man, say in
he might git hurt. You'd just or-
ter see dad go up to Mangum, he
makes straight fur Shortie Gar-
nett's, goes in, slaps old Shortie on
the back and then business begins,
cause Shortie can rite it down and
have two men putting it up and be
selling two more men Pride and
Dixie Queen flour all at once, and
if a lady wanted some nice dishes
or cooking vessels he could to her
to. Show, you fellows ought to be
thar and see them rascals hustle,
they have the stuff, and people
know it, and thar they go to get it.
Wonder stoves to make the cook
happy, Chase & Sanborn coffee to
make dad smack his mouth, Baker
Perfect barbed wire to make the
cows stay to home, biscuits from
Pride & Dixie Queen flour to make
us boys go yum yum, and lassess
and licks. Go away child, any old
stuff you need to make you grow
and feel good. Rite at Shortie Gar-
nett's is where we trade and most
everyone else. We are going up
this week, to get seed potatoes, and
onion sets, garden seed and some
more of that Pride flour.

The petition of the city council
to the board of county commission-
ers, praying that they annex to the
incorporated town of Mangum cer-
tain contiguous residence portions
not now included in the town, was
defeated by the board of commis-
sioners last Tuesday. The petition
asked that about twenty-five fami-
lies be brought in, but a remon-
strance from three or four parties
knocked the proposition out. This
was being done for the purpose of
making Mangum a city of the first-
class. The town council, however,
expects to make an effort this spring
to place the town where she prop-
erly belongs—in the list of cities of
the first class.
Johnie, the little seventeen-
months-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L. A. Johnson, died at the

of several weeks. Her life had
been despaired of several days be-
fore her deatn. The remains were
interred in the Mangum cemetery
Sunday afternoon at three o'clock.
