The Stato sitting ns a Court ot
Impeachment Thuisday aftctnoon
oted 27 to in to quash all articles
of impeachment against Lieutenant-!
(lovernor M. E. Trapp with the ex-
ception ot one article which had to
do with in official net of Mr. Trapp.
This article was dismissed on motion
oi Mr. Matthews member of the
House Committee. i
The charges hi ought against Mr.
Trapp involved alleged transactions I
in bonds in Seminole Adair and '
Creek Counties. Tho motion of the I
respondents to quash the articles of
impeachment was based upon the i
ground that an impeachment court I
did not have Jurisdiction to try Mr.
Tiapp in that If he had committed
any act charged It must be a pri-j
Mite act and not involving his of.
flcial nets. I
The proposition is separated Into
"acts" and "otrenses" in the mling
or the court it was held that what
was complained of were 'nets In
the private life or lmslnes or Mr.
Trapp. And that he must flist have
been conviclct of an orrense In an-
other tiibunal; that such conviction
if anj w'ere had would then be an
"offenso" over which the court of
impeachment could assume Juris-
diction to determine it such offense
involved moral turpitude or any of-
renses tiiablo in court ot impeachment.

He nearly fainted
when the veteran told
him how he "lost his
leg."
Since the day of Mother Eve. no one has ever contradicted
the statement that women have more curiosity than any living
creature that ever walked the earth. But do you know it s get
ting so these modern days women can't hold a candle for the
men according to the statement of an old one-legged veteran
who unfortunately lost a leg about 32 years ago. He says "dur
ing these years no less than 20 million perfectly normal "he"
men have asked how did you loose your leg partner. One day
the weather-beaten old veteran found himself cooped up in a
street car with a-nartv comnosed of 5 middle aired women and
one pious looking old man wearing a black frock-tailed coat and
tobacco juice on his chin. Turning to the veteran the mere man
tactfully asked how did you loose your leg my man the vet
eran gave him a frozen stare "if ye'll not ask me another ques
tion I'll tell ye he snapped. The mere man nodded Well l
got it bitt off he growled. The pious creature wrung his hands in
astonishment "land sakes what! what!! in the world-: "
"shut up" roared the veteran as he pegged down the isle and
got off at Mulberry Bend.

Reminds "Yours Truly" of Albatross Flour. Scores
of folks bought their(first sack of Albatross flour pure
ly through curiosity they hear about Albatross flour
everywhere there's scarcely a man woman or child
in Bryan County who doesn't know about Albatross
flour. There is scarcely a meeting of any kind where
the subject of flour doesn't come up the men talk over
the dividing fence while whittling on the street cor-
ner at the black-smith shop on the market square and
every time the District Court meets the sale of Alba-
tross flour picks up wonderfully. When the men in
the Jury room grow tired of the maddening details of
the case under advisement they talk a little about
home and yellow Jersey butter and fluffy hot bis-
cuits as one prominent citizen said you just simply
can't get away from it a man would go raving mad from
curiosity if he didn't at least try Albatross flour. Gen-
tle reader a trial will convince you why not one in ten
ever quit it after the first sack and since we cut -the
middleman and buy direct from the mills at Spring
field Missouri in car lots only the price is no higher Albatross perhaps tho most talk

Speaking of men there are two kinds of ignoramuses among the male population
one is a batchelor tcho thinks a married man can get buttons sewed on without
beefing about it the other is a married man who thinks he can get good flour fo
