The Time I've Lost In Wooing-
The time I've lost in wooing.
In watching and pursuing
The light that lies
In woman's eyes
Has been my heart's undoing,
Though wisdom oft has sought me,
I scorned the lore she taught me
My only books
Were woman's looks,
And foily's all they taught me.
Her smile when beauty granted,
I hung with gaze enchanted,
Like him the sprite,
Whom maids by night
Oft meet in glen that's haunted,
Like him, too, beauty won me,
But while her eyes were on me,
If oncc their ray
Was turned away,
Oh! winds could not outrun me.
And are these follies going?
And is my proud heart growing
Too cold or wise
For brilliant eyes
Again to set it glowing?
No, vain, alas! the endeavor
From bonds so sweet to sever;
Poor Wisdom's chance
Against a glance
I now as weak as ever.
—Thomas Mookk.

BIRTHDAY.
Birthday Anniversary Fittingly
Celebrated.
Stella Noble, a young lady of
Marshall township, celebrated
her thirteenth birthday anni-
versary in a pleasant manner.
On that auspicious occasion a
turkey roast was served to a
large number of her young lady
friends and neighbors. Quite a
number of friends from Guthrie
were in attendance.
WHEW!
Damage Suit in the Sum of
$10,000 Filed.
A damage suit was filed in
district court last Monday that
carried with it $10,000. The
plaintiff claims that the aliena-
tion of her dear husband's affec-
tions is worth just about that
much, but no more. In the mean-
time A. M. Fowler has taken a
leave of absence for an indefinite
period, and Guthrie is now free
of his august presence. The suit
promises to be one of high colored
scenes and escapades.
And They Are Here Too.
One of the great features of
the reunion is the show that ex-
hibits the wild man captured in
the Klondike. This man never
saw the Klondike but the people
go into the show by the thou-
sands to see him all the same.
The boys from the country and
a great many from the city think
that the Midway Plaisance is just
the thing. The five legged calf,
the Streets of Cairo, a Night iti
Egypt, Have you seen Bosco,
the snake show, Samson the
strong man, the girls that dance,
the hot time tent, Howard's
vaudeville and the international
congress of beauty are some of
the attractions they find there.
The aggregation down there
on Robinson street could give the
Chicago midway cards and
spades, throw in the big and little
casino, and then beat it out.
Some of the so-called shows do
give the seekers after sights his
money's worth, but there are
some boldfaced frauds that
wheedle the would be gay boys
out of their dimes all to get into
the entrance of the "big show
which is just a little warmer than
the weather" and then raise the
price to two bits to see the
remainder of the performance.
Fishing is pretty good these days,
and there seems to be plenty of
biters. Many of the youthful
verdants after they have been
seperated from their coin and
have come out looking very
sheepish, strike a bee line for the
next show, and repeat the per-
formance. The great world's
fair was an educator in more
ways than one, but it does not
seem that it has thinned out the
crop of suckers.—Oklahoman.
BOUND OVER.
Farmer Dickinson Had a Hearing
Last Monday.
Farmer Dickinson, who was
arrested and brought to this city
a few days ago on a charge of
acting in an inhuman manner
towards his 14-year-old daughter^
had his hearing before Probate
Judge Foster last Monday and
was bound over to the grand jury
in the sum of $500. The old
man would neither deny nor admit
the truthfulness of the charges
made against him by his daugh-
ter, but his attitude would indi-
cate that he is not guiltless of
the unnatural crime, as charged.
Starving.
Six thousand Indians are starv-
ing to death on the Gila reserva-
tion, in Arizona, according to
S. M. McGowan, superintendent
of the Indian industrial school at
Phoenix. His statement paints
a most deplorable condition exist-
ing among the tribes that have
never been contaminated by white
blood. Superintendent McGowan
said that he found twenty help-
less adults in one miserable shack,
that would, under ordinary cir-
cumstances scarcely accommodate
three persons. Congress appro-
priated $30,000, but no method of
distributing the money was stip-
ulated, hence it is tied up.
Entertained-
Misses Lillian Boles and Angie
Penny pleasantly entertained a
number of friends at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Boles last Monday
evening. Music and dancingcon-
tributed to the evening's enjoy-
ment.
Entitled to Admiration.
Men admire the girl who is her
mother's right hand in household
matters and who is not above tak-
ing an interest in the most trival
things in connection with home
duties. They admire the girl
who is a bright entertaining com-
panion, and who has ever a kind
word and pleasant smile for those
around. They admire the girl
who is always neatly gowned, no
matter if in inexpensive materials
and who never dressed loudly or
in questionable taste. They ad-
mire the girl who can adapt her-
self to any society, and who would
scorn to do an act of which the
world might not know.—Norman
