The Troubles of Man
Man comes into the world with-
out his consent and leaves it a-
gaiust his will. During his stay
o.i earth his time is spent in one
continuous rouud of contrariness
and misunderstandings by the
balance of his species. In his
infancy he is an angel; in his boy-
hood lie is a devil; iu his man-
hood he is everything from a
lizard up; in his dotage lie is a
fool. If he raises a family, lie is n
chump; if he raises a small check
he is a tliief, and the law raises
the devil or worse, with him. If
lie is a poor man, he is a poor
manager; if he is rich he is dis-
honest. If he is iu politics, lie
is a grafter; if lie is out of politics
uvean’t place him und he is an
undesirable citizen. If he is in

doesn’t belong he is a tight-wad.

A sensible young man will look
a long time before he embraces
matrimony. There are plenty of
good, well balanced young girls,
home-loving and domoaUc in
their habits, willing to live with-
in an income, but this class, as «
general thing you will not find in
so-called society, the members of
which exhaust most of their time
and money in dress and worship
at the shrine of fashion. Ami on

What it Indicated
Mark Twin once edited the Vir-
ginia City Enterprise. He tells
of a superstitious subscriber, who
finding a spider in his paper wrote
to ask whether his discovery was
a sign of good or had luck.
The reply, in the answers to
correspondents column, was as
follows; Neither good luck nor
bad The spider was merely
looking over our pages to find out
what merchant was not advertis-
ing, so that it could spin its web
across his door and lead a free
aud undisturbed existence for-
«s ever.”
The city was forced to pay a
small damage claim Thursday
when a traveler had a cow get her
leg broken in the Main street
crossing by the banks. This it
only a tritie what will have to be
paid one of these days if the bad
crossings are not either torn up
altogether or mended. The cross-
ing by the lied blacksmith shop
is iu a deplorable shape.

Every time a mistake is made
by a democratic official it is im-
mediately brought to the atten-
tion of the people of Oklahoma
by a special officer whoes duty it
is to check all state records. The
state inspector and examiner has
done Iris duty as laid down by
the law and the work of all demo-
cratic officials is as an open book.
Compare this method of pro-
cedure with that of the Territorial
administration when every error
was purposely covered up and no
officer authorized to check the
records and see which system you
liked the best. The one is lle-
publicuu which was in vogue
when Oklahoma was a Territory,
the other.is Democratic and put
into operation by the Constitu-
tion.
