Lemon Heard From.
There now reman but el?veil
days of the regular session. The
Senate has just finished with the
trial of Giles Farris and will have
at least one other state officer to
try.
The house Investigating Com
naittee has taken 3000 pages of
typewritten testimony and is *_nly
about half through with its work.
The House calendar now carries
225 bills and the numoer is grow-
ing daily.
In view of these statements and
of the enormous amount of un-
finished business in both houses the
day of adjournment recedes into
the dim and unknowable future.
There is a prevalent opinion that
the Governor will call an extra
session. It is my fervent hope and
prayerful wish that he will not. 1
have eight bills on the calendar.
When the regular session exp res
all bills on the calendau die with
it. I would rather continue the
regular session at $2 per day than
to have an extra session called on
full pay and have to begin all over
again and re-introduce these b lls
besides, if an extra session be
called there will he no constiutiona
limitation as to the time that
can run, and one who really wants
to get home shudders to think o:
the possibilities.
The extra session could only ad-
journ by a majority vote of both
houses, and, as many member
have but little to do at home, huc
rattier enjoy a session of the Legis-
lature, we might be here til All
Fool’s day, or later
The game bill finally passed the
House and will pass the Senate, ii
provides a closed season for quail
i n certain counties—including
Grant county—for two years, aftei
which they can he killed for one
month in each year—from Novem-
ber loth to Decembei 15th.
The House passed a bill abolish-
ing Sidney Suggs and his highly
ornamental position of Highway
Engineer. The Senate killed this
bill. The Senate will probably
pass a bill abolishing township
officers. This bill will never get to
first base in the House.
I do not conceive that I am here
to represent the Democratic Paity
but the People—and even if I were
representing only the Democratic
party, I do not believe that ;he
Democrats of Grant county will
approve of dirty politics. The time
is past—at least in our part of he
state—when people will excuse
such practices in the name oi
party. Honesty, in the end, will
prove to be the best policy, ever in
politics. J. E. Lemon.

New Hope.
The weather has been very bad
lately. About three inches of snow
has fallen but it i.- about all melted
It is fine on the wheat.
There was a party at Chas. Ben-
nett's last Saturday evening. On
account of the disagreeable
weather, only a small crowd was
present.
Charley Dowell spent Sunday
with Elwin Bennett.
Quite a number of names have
been secured to put on a quilt

Miss May Hicks of New Hope
and Mr. Leonard Oneth of Wakita
were married Inst Sunday by R ?v.

much joy and a happy life.
Sunday school at 10 a. m., »nd
preaching at 11 a. in. and 7;30 p.

Nearly everybody in this neigh-
borhood has had the grippe.
The crew that has been working
the roads has been forced to lay off
for several days on account of the
inclement weather.
—There is a bill before the legisla-
ture to prohibit all kinds of Sunday
amusements, including theater per-
formances and moving picture shows,
and the anti-saloon league is solicit-
ing the support of the ohurch con-
gregations In forcing it through the
legislature. Should this bill become
a law it will leave the young men of
the cities the option of spending the
day at church services or at gamb-
ling dens, joiuts or in tne red light
district, and we are of the opinion
that the latter places will profit to a
much greater extent by closing the
theaters than will the churches.
Much more real good would be ac-
complished if the church people would
force the dives to close, at least on
Sunday, and allow the decent places
of amusement to remain open. They
will not force the young men of the
cities to attend church by closing the
picture shows, but they will drive
'hem to worse places.—Herald.
—Tue Tonkawa Chieftain, Smith
Chambers editor, last week announces
editorially that the Chieftain believes
that Oklahoma City should not be
farther embarrassed iu regard to the
state capital. The people have twice
by decisive majoritier said they want
Oklahoma City for the Capital, and
the people should rule, A bonding
company has agreed absolutely to
guarantee the worth of the realestate
offered by Oklahoma City, in faot the
company says that about one third
of the property will realize the one
niliiou dollars and the company will
oack their judgment of values, with
• heir money, if you should purchase
ome of that pr >perty and not be
.atisfied with it. Oklahoma City has
every requisite for thecapitol location
and if the state will get behind aDd
push and boost for tier instead of ride
her back and knock on her, she will
make good on every promise. Get in
line for Oklahoma City, the state
capital, you knockers and see If good
will not come to all the state while it
is coming to Oklahoma City.
—The possibility of troublesome
errors creeping into the parcels post
ousiness was shown at the Simmons
& Wamoek store one day last week
A country gentleman had left a few
packages at the store and phoned in
for them. Mr. Simmons not only sem
out the parcels, but also sent out a
bundle which later proved to be Vern
Merriman’s unlaundered laundry
Vern had to pay postage on it ‘‘goiu’

MATTER FOR CAREFUL INQUIRY
Japanese Minister's Diffldenoe In Pres,
ence of Emperor Is Cause of
Funny Break.
The late emperor of Japan was re-
garded with the greatest veneration
by his subjects, and thla attitude of
awful reverence was maintained also
by his ministers, in apite of the fact
that affairs of state made It necessary
for them to see him and converse with
him very frequently.
One of these ministers, the Marquis
Matsugata, used to experience agonlea
of nervousness every time he had an
audience of his sovereign, and he was
never able to say anything distinct
in reply to him except the set phrase,
"I shall have careful Investigation
made, your majesty."
This generally brought him aafely
through a short audience, but one day,
unfortunately, the emperor conde-
scended to discuss the marquis’ morq
private affairs.
“How many children have you?" the
emperor asked.
Back came the inevitable pttrase,
“I shall have careful Investigation
made, your majesty!"
The story loses nothing from the
fact that the marquis had a very large
family Indeed.

—“Refuse Notice.” Every editor
nas received them. The postmaster
sends them to the editor, For
.ostance thf e is a man by the name
of. we’ll say John Brine, who refused
to fake his paper out of the postoffice
He did not want it aoy longer, and we
wondered what was the matter. Up-
on investigation of our subscription
book we found that John was short
$5 "0. He had stopped the paper as a
matter of economy to us. A few
evenings ago we went to church and
John’s melodious voice rang out loud
and clear in that soul-siirring song,”
Jesus Paid It All.” We might have
teen mistaken, bnt his earnestness
impressed us. The next day we sent
him a receipt in full, begging his
pardon for not knowing he had made
fraugements for his liabilities in
that manner.—Exchange.
—There was a man here yesterday
who claimed to represent some drill-
1 ig company He had a proposition
to make to our local oil and gas com-^
Piny, and that proposition, accotdlng
to his own testimony, was too good to
lie true He wan ed us to give him
*3.000 to put down a test well, and If
he found oil or gas, we were to give
him the well. We would have the
experience. That sort of arrange-
ment would be good—for the other
fellow, bub he didn’t get off with It
here. He was simply out looking for
a bunch of suckers, and went home
feeling like he hadn’t been treated
right He claims to be the guy who
is to drill near Medford, If he is,
heaven help the fellows who are
putting up the cash—this man will
help himself.

Bees Like Mineral Water.
For the tenth successive autumn a
mineral water factory at Cardiff.
Wales, was recently invaded by bees,
which come in huge companies. All
through the week the cloud of bees in-
creased In dimension, and at the end
of the week the ''avalanche" was a
record. The firm have consulted local
beekeepers and experts, but no one
can say where the bees come from,
although beekeepers In the neighbor-
ing suburbs state that they have lost
large numbers. Bee experts say they
may come from many miles around.
The remarkable thing Is that al-
though this one particular factory has
been honored by these armies of vis-
itors for ten years two mineral water
factories quite near at hand have
been left severely alone. Another
curious thing is that the bees come
every morning as soon as day breaks
and depart when the sun does down.
They do not deliberately sting, but
some employes have been stung
through catching hold of some uten-
sil upon which bees have fastened.
Small Clue to Crime.
A mysterious St. Petersburg crime
has just been solved by means of a
trousers button. Some days ago the
police found the bodies of a well-to-do
couple named Andrejelff lying near
the Nlnekaja railway station, bear-
ing unmistakable evidence of having
been stabbed to death. The wife was
known In the district on account of
the valuable jewelry she used to
wear, and the jewelry was missing
when her body was found. No clue to
the Identity of the murderers could
bo found except a trousers button,
which was lying near the bodies, but
as this button was similar to those
used for a certain uniform a search
was instituted. This led to the dis-
covery of a man in the One Hundred
and Forty-sixth Infantry regiment
whose trousers were minus a button,
and on being accused of the crime he
Immediately confessed.
Rubbing It In.
Mayor Stewart, at an Insurance
men’s banquet in Saginaw, told an
Insurance story.
"A septuagenarian,” he began, "said
one evening at dinner to his fair
young wife:
" 'My darling, I have Just insured
my life In your favor for 1100,000.’
‘"Oh, you duck!’ the beautiful girl
cried;' and, rising and passing round
the table, she kissed her husband
lightly on his bald head.
“ ‘Darling,’ he said, taking her slim
white hand, ‘is there anything else
I can do for you?’
“‘Nothing on earth,' she answered:
and then, with a little silvery laugh,
she added, ’Nothing in this world.
Nothing under heaven.’ York
Tribune.
Called the Bluff.
“So you advertised for your lost
purse, pretending that the pereon
who found it waa recognized?"
"Yes."
"How did the bluff work?"
“Didn't work at all. Next day this
ad. appeared in the Bame paper: ‘The
recognized gentleman who picked up
the purse on Boylston street re-
quests the loser to call at his house.’"
