SHOWED VERY BAD TASTE.
Widow Indignant at a Floral Tribute
at Her Husband's Funeral.
A funeral was recently held at Al-
tootia. Pa., the corpse prepared by the
occasion being that of a foreman who
had been exceedingly popular with his
railroad associates and with the com-
munity generally. Floral tributes
were plentiful and the widow exhibit-
ed them with iyi little pride.
"Vis," she explained to sympathiz-
ing friends, "thlni flowers do be show-
in' how manny frinds he had. That
cross comes from tne division super-
intendent, that pilly is from wan uv
the conthraetors and the broken col- j
yum was slnt by the mayor himself—" !
At this point she paused for a mo- 1
ment as her eye lighted on a beautiful
anchor, which she grabbed savagely j
and tiling out of the window, exclaim- |
ing as she did so:
"Who the dlvvle had the ba ad taste
to slnd that pick?"

Everlastingly at It.
If you toot your little tooter and
then lay aside your horn, there's not
a soul in ten short days will know
that you were born. The man who
gathers pumpkins Is the man who
plows all day. and the man who keeps
it humping is thp one who makes It
pay. The man who advertises with a
short, a siulden jerk. Is the man who
blames the editor because it don't
work. The man who gets the busi-
ness takes a long and steady pull and
keeps the local paper from year to
year unite full. He plans his advartis-
ing In a careful, thoughtful way, and
keeps forever at it until he makes It
pay. He has faith in all the future,
can withstand a sudden shock, and
like the man of scripture, has his busi-
ness on a rock.—Western Advertiser.
Woman Mountain Climber.
By far the most expert woman
motiotaujeer In the world is Mrs. Fan-
cy bill lock Workman. In the Hima-
laya she has climbed to an altitude of
22,56* feet. On the same occasion
i es hdttiand broke the world's record
for mat: by 311 fc«t, by climbing 23,-
:94 ieet up a mountaip 24,479 feet

Will Annexation Come By Force?
Th& Messenger does not blaine any-
body for working for annexation, and
I getting it if it can be had Hut the
work should lie done in the right way.
Annexationists should not try to gain
tlieir point by taking the question out
of the hands of the qualified voters of
the town and asking congress or the
courts to do it for them. That is un-
American »nd just like the Russian
Czar and his bureaucratic supporters.
If the big Choctaw avenue real estate
boomers and high rent fellows want
•nnexation for the good of all let
them ''come down to earth" and take
1 the eomtnou herd into their confi-
dence and endeavor to show their, as
fellow citizens that annexation is a
good thing tor the general interests
and not alone for the few. These big
fellows may think they • don't have
to," but if they ever get in smelling
distance of annexation that's what
they must do.
