There was no full moon in the
wbole of February, 1866, according
to astronomers. This will not occur
again until the year 2,449.
Somehow or other we had an idea
that Januay was a little bit colder
than January's usually are. The
weatber bureau tells us it was the
coldest for a half a century.
Every day an average of 44,500
pieoes of mail go to the dead letter
office on account of mistake by those
who send them. The carelessness is
expensive and growing at a greater
rate than population.
A cigarette manufacturer tells us
that there are two million women in
the United Sates who smoke. All of
which go to show that the fair dames
have divious ways of burning up
their husbands salaries.
The Kansas board of health his
swatted the fly, muzled the dog vac-
cinated thousands of school childern
and is now planing to save the cat-
declaring that more deadly germs
can be carried by an alley cat than
by any other animal.
A wave of confession seems to be
sweeping over the country. Preach-
ers, teachers, doctors, dynamiters,
vote-sellers and vote-buyers, lawyers
and occasionally an editor, ire stand-
ing up and saying, "guilty as charg-
ed."
As it has been appropriately said,
youth and old age have too little sym
pathy for each other. If the young
remember that they maybe old, and
the old remember that they have
been young, the world would be hap-
pier.
After they had gained entrance to
a vault containing $500,000, a Cleve-
land Ohio bank robber became fright-
ened and ran away, leaving the
money behind. Things that are too
good to be true continue to happen.
A farmer near Grimes in Rogers
Mills county, purchased a farm last
spring, paying some cash and giving
a mortgage of $ 1,200. He practiced
diversified farming, sold his broom
corn for enough to pay off the mort-
gage and raised other crops to moke
his family comfortable through the
winter. The Oklahoma farmer who
keeps away from the otte-crop id a
can't help but prosper — Oklahoman.
Gov. Folk Withdraws.
Former Governor Jos. W. Folk of
Missouri, has withdrawn is candidate
for Psesident and urges his friends
to support Champ Clark, Mr. Folk
said he had concluded that owing to
Mr. Clark's prominence in Washing
ton and his long and honorable ser-
vice, the speaker had better chances
for nomination than any other Mis
sourian.
•'In view of this," says Mr. Folk,
I shall release all claim I may
have on the delegation and request
my friends to join with me in giving
Mr. Clark the nnited support of Mis-
souri in this contest."
Governor Folk's decision was bas-
ed on Mr. Clarks proposal, first sug
gested by W. J. Bryan, "that there
De a divided Missouri delegation sent
to the national convention." It was
to be agreed that the delegation
later would be massed on the Mis-
sourian wno showed up strongest in
preliminary voting.
, The next legal holiday will be
Washington's oirthday, which falls

this year com's on Thursday, May

holiday, and it comes on Thursday.
Thanksgiving Day, November 28, is
next, aad, as usual, it falls on Thurs
day, too. Thus, it will be seen that
Thursday is the most popular day

places, are the following: St. Val-
entine's Day, Feb. 14 ; St. Patrick's
Day, Sunday, March 17 ; Easter Sun-
day, April 7 ; Labor Day, Sept. 2
Thomas H. Benton's 30 years of
continuous service in the United
States senate, which ended March 3
1851, held the record in that respect
until Justin S. Morrill of Vermont
entered on his thirty-first year on
March 4, 1897, Morill served 32
1-2 years coniinuously. John Sher-
man served 32 years broken by four
years in Hayes' cabinet. Allison
of Iowa served 35 years, which is
now the record for continuous service
in the Senate.
One of the greatest industrial
struggles the United States has ever
known will be inaugurated April 1,
according to St. £ouis members of
the Coal Operator Association, when
250,000 miners employed in the soft
coal fields of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
and Pennsylvania are expected to
lay down their tools and walk out
Never in the history of mining in
this country has such a large num
ber of men walked out on a
strike at one time. The operators
are preparing for a bitter fight, for
according to their statements, the
walk-out is inevitable.
A colored man from Depew who
was a visitor in the store of Graham
& Welch recently, is good material
for a black man's hope when Jack
Johnson goes down to defeat. The
negro lacks a trifle of being seven
feet tall. He was looking for a pair
of shoes and thrust out a foot, the
size of which alarmed the whole sales
force. He stated that he could
squeeze on a number 15 if that was
positively the largest number they
had in stock. As the store could not
supply this number and the man was
in apparent need of footgear, the
clerks and proprietors of the store
offered him some of their old shoes
as a substitute, but he waved their
gift aside with mittened hands the
size of sample hams in the market
windows. Someone in the store tried
to inspire the man with ambition for
the prize, but the chocolate-colored
Ethiopian looked at them with codfish
•yes, stating thit he had no desire
whatever to improve on the record
of his puilistic friend. Jack Johnson.
—Sapulpa Democrat.
It was a long time before all states
passed good game laws and it was
still longer before these laws were
observed and enforced. But game
iaws now, as a rule, are being re-
spected, and as a consequence few-
birds of all kinds are killed. This
means mdre birds to breed and nest
on the farms to eat up the insects
which destroy crops. The birds are
again appearing and the |insects dis-
appearing.
A college professor now advances
into the limelight to remark that wo-
men are nearest a savage state than
men. They will be, if college pro-
fessors do not stop their uncompli-
mentary analysis.

The New Year is here and al-
though we do not believe very
much in resolutions, we do kpow
that this "begining time" of the
year is a particularly good one to
start a bank account. Perhaps
you recieved money as a Christ-
mas gift. Now instead of spend-
ing it perhaps uselessly, why not
make this gift the foundation of an
healthy growing bank balance?
We want to you to get a start in
life, and your good common sense
will teach you that you can get
that start in no other way than by
having some money ahead. Make
this New Year a milestone in your
life by begining to provide for the
future. No matter if it is a small
amount. Small accounts receive
careful and courteous attention at
our bank "
