Our esteemed contemporary, the In-
dependent is mailing out their special
edition, a 16-page effort indicative o'
the prosperity of this section and the
hustling qualities of the Independent
force. The issue is chock-full of live
ads and reading matter and if you
haven't a copy, make it your business
to get one.
C. K. Lewis' delivery team rar
away this (Monday) morning but fail
ed to do any damage other than break
ing up the harness. The driver had
gone into a residence to deliver a
meat order, leaving the team with a
50 pound weight attached to the bits.
They ignored the weight, however,
and coolly got up and went away from
there when the notion struck them.
Amos Clingenpeel. of Stillwater, is
"in our midst." We lowed as how
it was about time for Amos to get
back on the job, as Shaffer county is
coming a boomin' and the thought of
it keeps our old friend awake nights.
He ain't been here since the attempt
fell through before so we feel justified
to the conclusion that his
"frame" some-

Mr. and iMrs. Otto Sherry will leavo
December 1, for Drumright, when-
they will take the management of
the place over McCall's New Strand
Theatre. Mr. and Mrs. Sherry have
been here a long time and have many
friends who will regret to learn of
hteir leaving, but who will neverthe
'ess wish them all success in theii
aew location.
Dr. Speer today passes his fortieth
nilestone in the journey from the
•radle to the grave. Doc, as you know
;s not a very stout man, and his good
wife outweighs him several ounces
This morning she took the genial med-
co across her lap and called a ladj
?riend to come in and administer chas-
tisement. Forty blows with a razor
strap was the punishment meted out
o the doctor—and he swears if h
ives to fifty he'll leave here three
lays before his birthday and be gone
"or a week.
J. J. Hartery knows that Thanks
giving is drawing near? Why, you
ask, can he be so positive? Well h*1
iust had a hunch of some kind and
ooking over his shoulder he discover
ed the wing and tail feathers of a
turkey staring him in the face from
the rear seat of his Reo. Did he stop
to investigate ? He did—and when h<
liscovered it was only a feather dus
er some garage employee had left
in the car he said a few things right
)ut in meeting.
A. J. Meinsinger, of Oklahoma City,
'or a long time connected with the
Dverholser Theatre, is in the city to
'ake charge of the Grand during Mr.

POOR FOLKS—I GUESS NOT
Some folks know him as W. T
Larmer—while others call him Bill.
He's a rural carrier on Rout6 4
out of this city of light and every so
often staggers onto something that
will make good news. Then he drapn
round and tells us about it. Now, this
may not be so, but lay the blamt
on Bill, for he's the guy who started
it: Out on his route there is a mar,
by the name of Robb, J. C. Robb
He's awful poor, too, only owning a
good farm or two and having around
him all that the heart could desire
Saturday last he came to town, bring-
ing a dozen eggs and a pound of but-
ter. Did he swap 'em for the neces
saries of life ? He did not. He traded
the whole works for a Ford and dam-
aged his bank account for whatever
the wife and children wanted.
That made Pat Brennan, Will Bren-
nan and W. D. Anderson, and so they
hiked into town, visited Jeff's gar
age. and left with a Ford apiece in
their hip pockets. It's an awful pooi
route, Bill says, and he's determined
to quit if they all buy cars and go
to laughing at him for driving a

MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS A SUC-
CESS
If there was ever a doubt wit I;
Oklahoma people as to the advisibil
ity of attempting the work of organ
iring moonlight or night school* foi
adults, these doubts would be dis
pelled by the mass of correspondent
coming to Supt. of Public Instructioi
R. II. Wilson, from men and womei
who have learned to read and writt
at the schools organized this fall am.
which are still in operation.
Each of these letters tells a storj
of human and absorbing interest
They come from men and women
many of them grey-haired men an<
women, who until now must have ha*
their "marks" attested by some om
in order to make their written con
tracts binding. The fact that letter-
received by them in times past fron
loved members of their families, wh<
had wandered from the family hearth
stone, had to be taken to some on<
else, often an outsider, to be depicted
must have been humiliating and gall
ing to sensitive natures. It wa
these who were the first to grasp th<
opportunity to at least learn to rea<
and write and the happiness standing
out in every line of these letters is ai
ample recompense for the work whicl
has been done and which is beim
done.
To the State Department of Edu

committee of three to bo knosm as tha
"Secret Service Committ**," whose
duty it srill be to employ a snitch and
have action taken upon the reports ho

ly th* keynote of the meeting and
discussion teas indulged in
secretly employing an attorney
to keep the League in the straight
and narrow path. Not being able to
think of one they could trust no ac-
tion was taken along that line.
And when the meeting adjourned
the reporter pnd a real estate man
came down town and left the social-
ists to cuss the government if they
so desired.
The account of the league meeting
handed in by the Secretary of the Or-

lines where Captain Standish addres-

words: "You are an elegant scholar"
Lenoard's version—you are an ele-
phant! Ther he stopped for breath
and the astonished teacher at this
point hastened to remind him that the
word was not "elephant" but elegant.
But imagine her amazement when a
little boy on a back seat raised his
hand demurely and said while a light
shone in his eyes as if he had been
suddenly brought from a dungeon in-
to brightest day—"Why, Mrs. Parrick
what that means now" Do you
know I read that passage over three
four times and called that word
