I belive the Bible to be divinely
inspired because it deals severely
with the sins of its heroes.

There is nothing lovers enjoy more
than a moonlight night, unless it is a
night when there is no moon.
Judgihg from the delinquent tax
list in the Depew Independent the
people of Creek county pay no taxes
The goverment has probably con-
cluded that the steel trust i3 one
trust that can't be killed by kindness
A man in Chicago has invented
soup plate into which a waiter can
not stick his fingers. The people
who seek to do good for humanity are
not all dead yet.
A rural obituary, which contains
more truth than poetry, reads: "He
never blamed the world for his trou-
ble—he just saddled 'era on the set-
tlement where he lived.
State Fire Marshall C. C. Ham-
monds reports that during the month
of October seven people wsreJDurned
io death in Oklahoma in accidental
tires.
It don't look like hard times when
the American people will spend half
a million dollars to see a series of six
games of base bail. No doubt that
much or more was spent in gate fees
and other expenses by the fans
Adolphus Busch, the big brewer,
was chosen one cf the ten leading
men of St. Louis to take up the For
waid Movement ot the churches.
That is what causes the churches to
trail in dust. Mr. Busch has caused
more suffering than any one man in
Missouri and yet he is a leading light
in the church.
If the shoe trusts can sell shoes to
state institutions at forty per cent dis-
count, why can it not sell shoes to
the plain people for the same dis-
count? If the trusts can sell the
state a $.3.50 shoe for $1.90, and still
make a resorbable profit, is not con-
vincing proof that the common peo
pie are being exploited by the shoe
trust? In the light of such evidence
what becomes of the demand for a
tariff to protect infant industries?
Care of theEyes,
If any worn in has theslightest diffi-
culty with her sight she should lose
no time in consulting an occulisf.
Nothing will bring undesirable crows'
feet more quickly than straining the
eyes, and local treatment to prevent
the lines will be inefficacious if the
seat of the trouble is not attended to.
It is far better to wear glasses when
sewing and writing than to let the
whole face have a drawn and aged
look.
Of course massaging about the cor
ners of the eyes will mike a tremen-
duous improvement in a woman's ap-
pearance, but the work will be with
out results unless she does it regular-
ly, every night. Also, if she is trying
to smooth away her crow feet, she
must remember that stroking is not
to be done so severely as to loosen
the skin, which would cause baggi-
ness, but merely that friction is to
stimulate circulation, nourishing the
skin tissue.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
It Takes Help
A newspaper can never very cred-
itably represent a town whose busi-
ness men do not advertise. He may
howl himself hoarse bragging about
the vim, energy and enterprise ot his
town but if his declarations are not
tj&ck'-d up by a liberal amount of
advertising by the business men of
the town, the world will be slow to
take his statement as true. It takes
more than unsupported testimony of
the local newspaper man to prove to
ttie world that his town is the finan-
cial center, the business center, the
very best market and the best place
on earth to buy goods ; his evidence
needs corroboration,—Depew Inde-
pendent.
Governor Lee Cruce has designated
Friday, December 15, as "fire pre-
vention day," on which it is expected
that the subject of fire protection will
be discussel in the school and among
the people generally. "Fire preven-
tion day" will not be a legal holiday,
according to the governor. Super-
intendent Wilson will recommend to
all the schools that an appropriate
program dealing with fire prevention
be arranged, and carried out on that
day, also that patrons of the school
and the citizenship generally, be ask-
ed to attend these exercises.
Reports are coming into th: Stale
Game Warden's office, of hunters
from the cities and small towns who
go into the rurals districts and in-
vading the farms kill the game prcp-
erly belonging to the farmers. This
is one class of hunters that the game
laws are intended io reach, and the
game wardens of the state will sum-
marily deal with such infactors of
the law whenever such violations cc-
cur.
Abraham told a lie, Noah got
drunk. Lot cheated his uncle in a land
deal, David murdered a man and
stole his wife,Paul and Barnabas had
a quarrel and all these things are
set down.
Some little one horse infidel like
Ingersol says 'Leave the dark, in-
decent things out of the Bible if you
want me to believe it." Thats a
foolish statement. If you read th
Bible and find these men represented
as you'd say " That account is not
true. I've tried to be good and
can't, and I know these fellows were
sinners just as I am."
The God who wrote the record of
these men's lives is writing your rec-
ord. Do you want so face that rec-
ord not covered by the blood of Jesus
Christ?
There isn't a set of railroad men
on this old earth that can run trains
on time or avoid having terrible
wrecks oa their roads but God runs
this old universe with its millions of
worlds crossing and recrossing eash
other's orbits countless numbers of
times and vet He never has a wreck
on the line and so minutely does He
runs these systems of worlds, and so
accurately that astronomers can com-
pute to the minute the time at which
a comet or a star will cross a giv n
line. Bu\gtn.
An exchange says the biggest trjsi
on earth is the country newspap*r.
It trusts everyone, gets cussed for

to bust the trust—pay your subscrip-
tion.

Historians tell us that Julius ^ea-
sar drank beer, and a French scien-
tist comes to bat with the announce-
ment that there was no such person
as Julius Cae sar. But even the most
hardened skeptic would hesitate be-
fore claiming that there is no such
thing as beer.
