Pensions for widows and orphans
minor children of the officers and
men who served in the Spanish war,
the Philippine insurrection and the
Boxer uprising in China v^ould be
authorized by a bill which passed
the House last week by a vote of
276 to 24.
One of the incomprehensible things
in nature is why the man who is for"
ever suspicious of the acts of his
neighbors and always opposed to any
step of advancement calculated to
benefit his town and the general pub
lie. Happily such people in every
community are largely outnumber-
ed, or we would have a stagnant old
world indeed.
Youug man, you are wanted.
From the street corners, from the
saloons, and playhouses, from the
loafer's rendezvous, from the idler's
promenade, turn your steps into the
highway of noble aim and earnest
work. There are prizes enough for
every successful worker, crowns
enough for every honorable head
that goes through the smoke of con-
flict to victory.
With scores of negroes stranded
at Galveston, Texas, after having
lost all their money, it uow appears
that "Chief Sam", who promised to
take them to the "promised land',—
the Gold Coast o South Africa--
has deserted them. The negro
chief has been branded as a fake by
secretary of state Bryan.
Some horrid man says; "A wo-
man can adapt herself to circum-
stances more readily than a man.
She will drive a nail with a poker or
a hair brush, take out a cork with
the scissors, no matter if it is pushed
in, and sharpen lead pencils with
her husband's razors."
Chandler Girl wins.
Washington, D. C. April 2—Hon.
Wm. H. Murry, member of congress,
through the college extension work
at Stillwater offered the Boys and
Girls clubs throughout the state pri-
zes aggregating $125 on the best
exhibit of buttermilk, the best pone
of plain corn bread, the best pone of
egg corn bread, and of cracklin corn
bread, and the best exhibit in mend-
ing and patching. Miss Myrtle Ger.
ardy of Chandler, won all of these
prizes with the exception of the last
in the contest, and Mr. Murry today
forwards her check to cover all the
awards. He stated that he was so
pleased with this contest that he in-
tends to make an offer to the Boys
and Girls clubs for the Fourth
congressional districts to stimulate
efforts along this line next year.
It does a man good, every bright,
pleasant day, to take at least a few
moments for the contemplation of
nature and the beauty with which,
we are surrounded. It is a glorious
and bjautiful world and life can be
■nade equally glorious and beautiful
if we but realize, even on dark days,
that the sun is beyond the clouds
and that the colors of the earth and
sky need but his rays to develop their
Splendor.
HAD HIM IN A SAFE PLACE
Politician Knew Just Where to Put
Man Whom He Wanted to Save
From Indictment
The vice-president of a big corpo-
ration in the city of New York heard
one day that an old friend of his
had fallen on unfortunate day9, and
stood a fine chance to be indicted by
the grand jury. Accordingly, he
hastened out and found a political
friend.
"John," he said, giving him the
name of the man threatened with
indictment, "this fellow is a close
friend of mine, and I don't want
him indicted. Can you fix it for me
wrth the next grand jury?"
"Leave it to me," said John. "I'll
fix it."
"Fix it sure?" «
"Absolutely sure. Leave it to me,
I tell you."
A few weeks later the rich man
read in a newspaper that his old and
unfortunate friend was on the grand
jury. t He immediately called up
friend politician.
"I'm afraid you misunderstood
me," he said excitedly. "I didn't
ask you to put that fellow on the
grand jury!"
"Now, listen," said the politician,
very bored, "you asked ine not to
let him be indicted. Well, I've fixed
it. There'll be no mistake. Grand
juries are grand—to themselves."—
Popular Magazine.
If the boys on one side of the
street were to spend their time
tearing up the pavement and storing
the brick away on either side, so as
to be ready for a pitched battle some
time, their parents would catch
them, spank them and put them to
bed supperless.
Wny do we write this? Simply
because our wars will never cease
until the people, who finaly pay the
cost of all wars and do all the fight-
ing, give our legislatures and our
war and navy departments to under-
stand that this must cease. There
are forces constantly at work to
create war. Army officers don't
want to lose their jobs. The men
who manufacture cannon and other
arms don't want to lose their profits.
The man who builds battle ships
don't want to lose their jobs. The
men who furnish materials for all
these want to continue the business ;
and the m!n who furnish provisions
for the army and navy don't want
to lose trade. All these influences
make for war and drive and force
nations to engage in wars] McKin-
ley didn't want to go to war with
Spain ; in fact, kept it back for six
months, until the people, fired by
newspaper headlines: "Remember
the Maine," forced him to do it
The destruction of that ship plunged
this nation into war and gave us he
problems of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines.
It would be very easy just now for
the newspapers to inflame public
opinion, until Piesident Wilscn would
be forced to declare war against
Mexico. It has required a man of
iron nerve to keep out of it thus far;
and whether we will be kept out of it
till this reaches the eye of the read-
er is a problem. Wars will not
cease, however, until the pubic mind
becomes so intelligent that any poli-
tical! will lose his job if he does not
encourage the maintanance of pea^e.

SHEEP FOR PRINCE EDWARDS.
Consul Wesley Frost, stationed at
Charlottetown, Prince Edward
island, reports that a small flock of
karakul sheep is to be imported intc
that province from Texas. Prince
Edward island has recently achieved
considerable notoriety through its re-
markably lucrative fox-breeding in-
dustry, and leading raisers of foxes
are backing the new enterprise. It
is proposed to cross the karakul sheep
with the long-wool sheep of the
island, which are celebrated for the
fine luster and strong fiber of their
wool, in the expectation that a strain
of hybrids will result having the
tight curls of the karakul at birth,
together with the gloss and strength
of the local breeds.
