D. C. Bothell Injured
D. C. Bothell was injured in a
runaway Tuesday forenoon, while
on a trip over the country buying
calves. H9 had let his horse stand
for a few minutes and when he
noticed that the animal was getting
restless, attempted to get into the
buggy to quiet him. He got only*
as far as between the wheels. The
horse ran and Bothell was dragged
about lull yards, one wheel passing
over the small ribs of his left :df.

ing physician, and there is little or
no danger so far as their welfare is
concerned. A quaranting was es-
tablished in order to prevent its
spreading and until Tuesday after-
noon of this week the Judge was
confined to the premises. Tuesday
arrangements were made whereby
he could leave the place and attend
to his business, but the quarantine
on the rest of the family has not
yet been raised.
A mild case has also been reported
east of town. It is not known from
what source these cases originated.
Holder Sale A Hummer.
The J. F. Holder sale, held last
Monday forenoon, was a hummsr
and was one of the
sales held in this part of the coun-
ty for many months. There was a
good crowd in attendance and the
liidding was lively. The cattle sold
at about $35 a head all through,
counting the calves and all, and the
other property sold in like propor-
tion. Col. Uutelius, the auctioneer,
”eats 'em alive” and certainly is a
success as a sale promoter.
Col. Gutelius did not get hack to
tow n soon enough to take the train
south at night and remained here
over night, driving to the sale at
Calumet, Tuesday morning, with E.
C. Loosen, who went over for the
purpose of bidding on some of the
horses and mules.
A Mortgage Sale
A team, harness and wagon
which had formerly been the prop-
erty of one ot the Buckners but
had been taken in by Ed Brown on
a mortgage foreclosure, was sold
at auction on the street Saturday
afternoon. Mr. Brown acted as
his own auctioneer and sold the |
outfit for $196.50. Brown’s claim j
was for $140 and costs. The stuff!
was bid in by Hoekaday. of King-!
fisher, who also had a claim against
it. The wagon was a- Stink linker
anil had been run only a short time.
The horses were not in good tlesh
and the harness had seen consider- j
able service. The property brought
a good price for being sold at
forced sale.
Big Load of Cotton
The largest load of cotton that!
has been sold in Kingfisher this (
season was brought to town last1
Thursday by J. VV. Hart, who re-.
sides about eight miles southeast of I
Kingfisher. The load weighed 212G
pounds and was bought by the i
Farmers gin at top price. Other ]
large loads that have been sold to I
this gin within the last \vi. a were
brought in by W. 11. Mead, south-
west of town, his load weighing!
2620 pounds, and Mike Dulilo, west
of town, whoitlso brought in 2020 ;
pounds. While there will not be a
third picking of the crop this year,
the cotton is said to be of a
line grade. Kingfisher Star,

Most Peculiar Occupation Followed The
by Fishermen In the Straits
of Messina.
In the straits* of Messina during
■ July and August there Is a most pe-
| eullar occupation followed by the fish-
ermen, this being the capture of the
j swordfish. This creature, the Xiphlas
gladius, varies from 6 to 14 feet in
j length and in weight from 100 to 300
pounds. The long bone which g^es
it its name projects like a broad two-
, edged sword a yard or morij from the
upper Jaw. The chase Is conducted
l thuswise:
A number of largo barks take up
their positions at regular distances
along the shore, each with a very tall
I mast, at the head of which a man is
stationed to look out for the fish, He
observes it at a considerable distance,
| for it often shows its dorsal fin above
water and it generally swims near
the surface. *
When he gives the signal a light
attendant boat, called a "luntra,
starts in pursuit and, guided by the
calls of the lookout man, soon comes
up with the fish, when the harpooner
in the bow throws his weapon with
almost unerring aim. To the head of
the instrument is attached a long
line, by which the animal is gradually
wearied out. Sometimes, however, a
swordfish turns upon its pursuers and
even pierces the boat with its sword,
to the imminent peril of the boatmen.
The meat of this fish is somewhat
like veal anil is much relished by the
Sicilians, who esteem it above all the
finny tribes of their seas.
Most Popular Variety With
Weather Bureau Is Called
“Probably."
Rain Is principally composed of wa-
ter. but It should not be confused wit*
mining stock.
Rain always comes on Sunday after-
noons and washdays. •
Washday may be changed to any
day in the week, systematically or In-
discriminately, but the rain will
come.

Also, in the morning, when you
leave home nnd carry your umbrella
and raincoat, the rain will go away and
sulk. But, if you take heart of the
fair sky, and leave the umbrella and
other trimmings, then the rain will
wait until you leave the office and
then get you. Incidentally, it win
tuck a few grip and rheumatism
germs Into your system.
Rain is good for the crops, but why
ft takes you for a crop is hard to un-
derstand.
Rain never brought fame to anyone
except Noah. Probably on the day
the flood began he watched the last
picnic party drive out of town in a
bus, shouting sarcastic things at him
through the dust.
There arc several varieties of rain*
but the one most popular with the
weather bureau is called “Probably.*

EDITOR MAKES A BAD GUESS
Ascribes Treatise on Cancerous
Growths With Euphonious
Names to Poetry.
Although an editor 1* expected to
kwow everythin*, and although hie
•tore of miscellaneous Information la
usually large, yet there are some
thirds of which he—if he la an aver
editor—has never heard. Such,
was the cate with Jainea
Feyn. the well-known novelist, when
he was editor of the Coruhill. Says
a writer In McClures:
One day an unannounced caller who
had managed to evade the porter
downstairs opened Payn's door. His
hair was long and his clothes were
shabby and untidy He had a roll of
papers In his hand. Payn, surmising
a poet and an epic several thousand
lines 'long, looked up.
“Well, sir?"
“I’ve brought you something^ about
sarcoma and carcinoma.”
“We are overcrowded with poetry—
couldn't accept another line, not If it
w<*re by Milton.”
“Poetry!** the caller flashed. “Do
you know anything about sarcoma and
carcinoma?”
“Italian lovers, aren’t they?” said
Payn. Imperturbably.
The caller retreated, with a wither
lng glance at the editor. Under the
same roof as the Cornhill was the of-
fice of a medical and surgical Jour-
nal, and It was this that the caller
sought for the disposal of a treatise
on those cancerous growths with the
euphonious names, which with a lay
man’s ignorance) Payn ascribed to
poetry.
POOR IDEA OF BUSINESS
Of Course Unshrinkable Bathing 8ult
Would Shrink, If It Wa«
Too Large.

tieth century.” said Jacob A, RH«. I»

toe—nothing but that
“But too many men look on buat-
nesa as a certain aeaalde shopkeeper
did.
“A friend of mine visited this man ■
shop to buy a flannel bathing suit.
The bathing suits were all a little toe
large for him.
“ 'They’re marked unshrinkable,’ my
friend said thoughtfully. This one
here might do If It would shrink.
But-”
“Til ask father about It.' said I he
young attendant.
"And then, behind the partition, my
friend overheard this dialogue:
“ 'Father, a gent wants to know If
our shrinkable bathing suits wont
shrink a little anyway.'
'"Is the suit too large for him?
" ‘Yes, father.'
" ‘Then of course It will shrink.
Why don't you try and have some

The Colors In the Rainbow.
A learned German scientist. In the
course of an exhaustive study of the
evolution of the sense of color, discov-
ered that the rainbow has not looked
the same to men in all ages. He found
that It was at fir t thought to be all
of one color To Homer, he says, the
rainbow seemed purple while. At a
later period Xenophon sew in it a
purple cloud, red and yellow green ”
Two centuries after this Aristotle dis-
tinguished three colors—red. green
and blue—and was able sometimes to
see yellow between the red and green.
Three hundrd years after Aristotle
came Ovid, to whom the rainbow wa»
"a thousand dazzling colors, which the
eye cannot distinguish separately.
But the tricolor division persisted .un-
til the thirteenth century.
And the Conductor Bald—
The conductor on a Dorchester ear
was very hot and tired, and his car
was so crowded he had hard work col-

along and saw a man otandlng on the
running board and a little thre-year-
old child occupying an end seat near
him he said combatively. “You'll have
to give me a fare for that little gtrl.
"I'm sorry," said the man calmly,
"but I refuse to do It." A heated argu-
ment followed, during which the con-
ductor demanded his rights and I he
man calmly refused. At last the latter
said with a laugh: "One reason why
