BAND NEEDS UNIFORMS.
Tulaa Baud Won Content at Chelsea
Yesterday.
The Vinita Merchants Band went
to Chelsea yesterday to play for an
Odd Fellows reunion and found
-themselves matched against Tulsa's
band in a musical contest. The Tulsa
band is composed of twenty-four
pieces while the Vinita band only
had fourteen thus allowing the Tulsa
band to carry oil the honors. An-
other point against the Vinita band
was the fact that they had no uni-
forms The .music played by the
Vinita band was more difficult than
that executed by the Tulsa band but
the lack of different instruments and
the appearance of our band counted
much against them. Those who are
trying to make a greater Vinita
should help the band along as it Is
one of the best advertisements the
city has.

A TALE OF
TWO TRADES
How the Lawyer Hangs
Over the Newspaper
Kan.
It
Nip the Rat was feeling a little
tacky this morning. He had followed
the band off down to Chelsea yester-
day and probably loaded up pretty
freely on "Uno" and other Rat
drinks and consequently did not feel
in the best of humor. He knew also
that the boss was in Kansas City to-
day to buy new material with which
to handle the Associated Press ser-
vice and of course took advantage to
say things that lie would not if he
were here.
He wanted to know if we had ever
heard the story about the lawyer.
We told him we had not. Well he
says John Blackstone was a lawyer
in a prosperous territory town. The
town was more prosperous than John
probably and better known although
lawyers are quick to get acquainted.
But John was a hustler and always
had his eye open for business
One day court opened and among
other prisoners arraigned at the bar
was a man charged with stealing a
horse. The prisoner had no money
and no friends. But the court said
no man should be prosecuted without
a chance to defend himself; so accord-
ing to law an attorney was appointed
for the defense. John secured the
appointment. It was the lirst really
fat job lie had secured for a year and
he meant to make the most of it. He
made an affidavit for continuance and
had the trial postponed. He secured
a further continuance on the ground
that important witnesses were absent.
Then he entered a plea of abatement
and when that failed he filed a mo-
tion to quash. Finally he had to go
to trial and he made a splendid plea
for his client but the client had to
go to Jail.
Then John filed a claim for 100 as
his fee. The court Intimated that it
was too high but John said:
"Your honor it Is a reasonable foe.
I am willing to leave the question to
my fellow members of the bar."
The judge agreed and called several
lawyers up.
"Is $100 a reasonable fee for de-
fending the prisoner?" asked the
judge.
"It 13 too reasonable; John should
have charged $150" said another law-
yer. "It is unreasonably low" said an-
other lawyer.
"I would have asked $300 if it had
been my case" said another.
Every lawyer called insisted that
John's claim was reasonable and just
and the judge ordered the clerk of the
court to draw a warrant for $100 for
John Blackstone "for services ren-
dered." Did you ever hear the story about
the editor said rwp. No.' Well its
different.
John Smith was editor of a daily
paper in the same town lie had in
vested seven or eight thousand dollars
in his printing plant and for years
he boomed the town the county and
the territory and everything calcu-
lated to advance the interests of his
community. He worked day and
night to get out a jrood paper give
ids advertisers the worth of their
money and his subscribers all the
news. Being a fearless advocate of
what he thought to be right at all
times he had made some enemies of
course and seldom ever received any
party patronage but he never falter-
ed or cared for that. One time a po-
litical revolution came and Smith
picked out good men and worked
teeth and toenail for their election.
John's friends thought lie ought to
receive the city printing without even
asking for it and John kept sawing
wood. And that's where John dropped
his wax.
When the t ime came to give out ttie
work the officers preferred to dribble
it out iu email taxes so as to keep
John from getting it at a remunerative
figure.
Did John's professional brethren
say lie ought to have it?
Not on your Washington hand
press. And "yet there are people in
this town who wonder why lawyers
get rich while newspaper publishers
have to scratch like thunder to keep
their heads above wat r.

THEIR NATIVE HEATH.
Whence Came Originally Many of the
Common Edibles of the Mod-
ern Garden.
To know Just where our common
fruits and vegetables came from orig-
inally is a source of some interest As
almost every one knows America gave
to the world the potato tomato pine-
apple Indian corn and the chocolate
tree. There seems to be some doubt
about the sweet potato. Though it ap-
pears to have originated in tropical
America it is credited by some to the
East Infies. A large number of our
common fruits and vegetables were
brought from Asia and some of them
have been known from time immemo-
rial. On the other hand some of our
favorites like the strawberry for in-
stance have been known only a com-
paratively short time. Many people
suppose the pumpkin to have origi-
nated in America because the Indians
cultivated it freely among their maize.
It is now believed to be of Asiatic ori-
gin and perhaps was brought over to
America by the aborigines. It has been
cultivated In England since 1570.
The onion has been in use since the
days of ancient Egypt and is said to
be more widely grown than almost any
other plant. Its native country is un-
known. Turnips were cultivated by the
Greeks and Romans. Spinach was in
troduced into Europe by the Arabs.
Beans have been known from prehis-
toric times. Some varieties are of
American origin. Peas were known to
the Greeks and Romans.
Garlic is a native of rontral Asia
and perhaps of the Mediterranean re-
gion. It was wpH known to the an-
cients and is still a favorite among the
people of southern Europe and most
oriental countries.
Parsley is a uative of the Slediter-
ranean regions. In the Nemean games
th visitors' crowns were of parsley.
Carrots are a native of Europe and
northern Asia and have been known
from the earliest times. The cucumber
is a native of southern Asia but has
been cultivated from the earliest times
in all civilized countries
Tha radish has been known and h'gh-
ly prized for its crisp fleshy root from
tlie days of ancient Egypt.

tainous regions ot India especially In
the north. As a cultivated fruit tree
the lemon was early known and dis-
seminated by Arabs but appears not
to have been established in Europe till
a comparatively late period. It was in-
troduced perhaps by the Crusaders.
The local origin of the peach is com-
monly ascribed to Persia but the in-
vestigations of De Caudolle points to
China as its birthplace.
The quince was known to the an-
cients and it has been argued that the
golden apples of the Hesperides were
quinces.
Pears belong to Europe and Asia.
Muskmelons are not known In the wild
state. Their origin was referred by
De Caudolle to the region of the south-
ern Caspian. They have been cultivated
from time immemorial in the hot coun-
tries of the east
The apricot was formerly believed to
be a native of Armenia but is now
supposed to be a Chinese fruit. The
cranberry Is- raid u be a native of
every continent in the north temperate
zone. The orange is said to have come
originally from India or China. The
cherry was introduced into England
by the Romans.
The strawberry was not cultivated by
the ancients. Its culture in Europe be
gan somewhere In the fifteenth or six-
teenth century.
The watermelon is supposed to be
of Asiatic origi.i and Is largely culti-
vated throughout the world.
The shaddock came originally from
the Malayan and Polynesian Islands.
Dreadiul Attack of Whooping Cough
Mrs. Ellen Ilarlison of 300 Park Ave
Kansas City Mo. writes as follows:
"Our two children liad asevereattaek
of whooping cough one of tliem in
the paroxysmof coughing- would often
faint and and bleed at the nose. We
tried everything we heard of without
getting relief. We then called in our
family doctor who prescribed Foley's
Honey and Tar. With the very first
dose. they began to improve and we
feel that it has saved their live?.

Toung Mr. Newpop Finds a Way to
Prevent Objectionable Nam-
ing of Baby.
The late Capt. Charles Angus of New
York the life saver of Pelham bay was
aoted for his diplomacy says the Trib-
une. "Diplomacy always succeeds" he said
one day at Pelham Bay. "What you
can't get with diplomacy is not worth
getting. There for instance is my
nousin George
"When Cousin George two years
ago" he said "became the father of a
bouncing ten-pound girl he was a proud
nd happy man. It seemed to him that
he loved every hair of the infant's head.
Its howls were music in his ears. Even
in its face red and twisted with sobs
he saw beauty and charm. As for walk-
ing the floor with it he asked nothing
setter than to walk the floor with it all
night.
"So a fortnight went by a happy fort-
night." Then the mother announced that
she was going to name the baby Emily.
"Cousin George's face fell. He was
not particular about names. Almost
any name in fact suited him. But
Emily he loathed. He had loathed the
name of Emily from his boyhood. He
did not tell his wile that though. He
was too wise. He knew her too well.
"'Emily eh?' said Cousin George in
his diplomatic way. 'That's good. I
like Emily. Emily was the name of my
first sweetheart. She'll take it as a
compliment our naming the child after
her. She'll'
"But George could say no more. His
wife interrupted him.
"'We'll call the child Jean after my
mother' she said snortlv."

Brown she sweetly and peacefully
slept in tier little bed near the window

as Croup Whooping Cough and but
for the timely use of Kenredjs Lax-
ative Honey and Tar which she al-
ways keeps handy the life of the
little one might not have been saved.
