to—that petition.
"A pretty good start," said Grand-
pa, "and now we will turn to Fred
W. Palmtag's big hardware and
stove store where Polly's house-
wifely instincts will have full sway
Another failure of language. 1; in ;he marvels of kitchen aparatus

And to this day that young man here in all styles and varieties.
' Insists that he popped the question.
All this happened away down
cast. It wasn't long before there
was a wedding. Not much longer
before there came a letter from
Polly's Foxy Grandpa, old Grandpa
Turner, long a resident of Cherokee
county, who wrote effusively of his
flight at her exhibition of what he
called grit and proposed if the youns
couple would locate at Tahlequah
he would start them in life as a
wedding gift. Of course they ac-
cepted and were soon bidding their
friends adieu. A few weeks subse-
quent to the above a travel-stained
party arrived in Tahlequah. Our
friend. Foxy Grandpa, took chr.rge
and led them straightway to the
Redburn Hotel.
"Now one of the first things on
the program," said Grandpa, "is to
hunt up a reliable contractor to
build the home, and you will make
no mistake in employing C. F. Ly-
barger to give you a turnkey job.'
"Nothing makes a home cozier or
neater than to have it artistically
painted and neatly decorated, and
the firm to supply you with all that's
new in wall paper, paints, oils,
varnishes, stains, etc., is the Mohler
& Parris Art & Undertaking Co.
They are always ready to give you
estimates as well as the benefit of
their experience in the selection of
the proper colors and blends to use
and their judgment can be relied
upon. They sell the famous De Soto
paints, stains and enamels, a strict-
ly guaranteed product. The De Soto
Paint Co., issues a personal guar-
antee to each customer that It will
give entire satisfaction or your job
will be repainted free of charge.
And Mohler & Farris will explain
and are here to make good. You
will want pictures for the home and
framing also, as well as enlarging,
and you will find all the latest in
frames and mouldings here and the
work doue to a T. You will also
find a swell stock of art goods,
window shades, glass, putty, etc.,
here. See to It that Mohler & Par-
ris does all of your painting, decorat-
ing and wall papering and you will
feel like an admiral who came out
with flying colors."
"You know I am a firm believer
in the economy and safety of elec-
tricity In preference to all of its
so-called equals," said Grandpa,
"and while the house is in course
of construction we will call on R. A.
Drum, manager of the Tahlequah
Light & Power Co., and make ar-
rangements for thoroughly wiring
the house for this commodity. Elec-
tricity is the light," said he. "It is
cleanly, artistic, a labor saver and
best of all costs less than the
ordinary light and Is always ready.
Your grandma has used It In the old
home for years and she would be
lost, she says, without It. They
carry a neat stock of fixtures, sad
irons, perculators, chaffing dishes,
fans, flash lights, and furnish power
home," said Charles, and it went,
for small motors and fans. ou
can run your washing machine, sew-
ing machine, ice cream freezer or al-
most an> old thing with it, at a low-
cost."
"Electricity goes In the ne*
' You can also make arrangements
here for your season's supply of
pure crystal spring water Ice," con-
tinued Grandpa. <t
"The home bt-ing couiplettr." ,-a;d
Grandpa, "we must now look to the
furnishing of it." Whereupon Polly
declared she had heard so much of
the swell furniture and house
furnishings at Fred W Palmtas's
that she desired to go there. The
result was they were ushered into
such a fine display that the girl was
puzzled at first how to select, but
she socro yielded to the seductiveness
of a magnificent parlor suit, a bed-
room suit in oak, golden finish. To
these she added brass, iron and
folding beds, pictures and wall orna
ments, rugs, mattings, linoleums
and art squares. She purchased a
swell buffet, fancy rockers, daven
Polly - as not long in selecting a
Majestic range for general use in her
kitchen, followed by a New Perfec-
tion and Detroit Vapor for hot
weather. She added a complete
line of granite, enamel-ware, tin-
ware, queensware and Diamond Edge
cutlery, adding an Eclipse lawn
mower, water cooler, refrigerator
and ice cream freezer.
All three then Inspected the fine
points in Anchor buggies, Ft. Smith
wagons, Oliver cultivators and im-
plements, J. I. Case threshing ma-
chinery, gasoline engines, Meyers
pumps, etc. All three declared up-
on leaving that they had been treat-
ed rleht at Fred W. Palmtag, Just
as he treats everybody.
"Now for the bakery goods," said
Grandpa, "and I want goods right
up to the standard in this line."
Here was a good chance to recom-
mend A. J. C. Reuckert's Home
Bakery. He makes the Tamous
Blue Ribbon and Quality bread
fresh and first class daily and his
pies, cakes, pastry, etc., are top-
notchers. He also fills any special
orders promptly for weddings, birth-
days, banquets and other functions.
Cleanliness and the us# of purest
ingredients are bywords here, and
vou will do well to use bis products.
Polly's sweet tootu can also be pre-
scribed for here with a nice line
of candies, chocolates, bon bons.
etc., and you will always get pure
food products at the Home Bakery.
"While we are in this important
topic of gastronomies," continued
Toxv Grandpa, "we must not for-
get meat. It goes hand in hand with
bread. John Carding is the man to
supplv vou with fresh, pure and
wholesome meat, home rendered
lard, sausage, etc. The reason for
this is because he buys and kills the
best of everything and keeps it fresh
in cold storage. You will find pack-
ing house products here such as
harns, bacon, etc., and he will al-
ways treat you right. So to keep
your hubby in good humor, Polly,
get your juicy steaks and other good
things to eat at John Carding s
market.
At this point, somewhat to the
young folks confusion, Grandpa in-
dulged in a half serious criticism of
their personal appearance. "You
both are de-cidedly off-style for
townspeople," he said, "and we d
better run into the New York Store,
where ready to wear clothing and
shoes are to be found galore.
After Charles fitted himself out in
a neat late style business suit of
Kirshbaum make. Grandpa declared
he would surely look like a newly-
married man and that us Okla-
honians can show you Yermonters
how to tone up a bit. Having found
soch a large assortment of furnish-
ings here at such low prices, Charles
invested in a Stetson and swell
Panama hat, a supply of Arrow
shirts and collars, ties, underwear,
hosier etc., and added a footform
last of Sir Knight brand sho^s and
low quarters of Harlow make. Polly
fitted herself out in the famous
Model coats, jackets, suits, skirts,
house and evening dresses and white
goods of every description, adding
a pair of J. & K. shoes that fit the
arch. While she was casting shy
glances at the Mary Jane shoe for
the little tot Grandpa remarked that
anvone needing footwear or almost
anything else to wear couldn't re
sist the styles and prices at the
New York Store.
"Halt!" commanded Foxy Grand-
pa as the party came 13 front of Mrs.
M L. Miller's Oklahoma Pharmacy.
"Walk right in."
"Why, Grandpa, we're not sick
and—" , ,
"Guess I know that," laughed
he. "but I suspect it won't be long
before this young man begins to take
an Interest in matters of paregoric
and—"
"G-r-a-n-d-p-a!" exclaimed Polly.
"Well, go in anyway. Polly may
find some toilet articles she wants."
loaded down with coinbs, brushes,
face powders, several bottles of fine
perfumes, stationery, tablets, etc.
"Remember," he said, "their soda
fountain is a model of neatness, al-
ways kept so, all the late drinks are
properly served and with pure fruit
juices, by Dick Miller, the ladies'
man of this establishment. Don't
forget to come here with your pre-
scriptions as you will find none but
competent pharmacists at the Okla
honia Pharmacy, using the purest of
drugs."
"And where will I find the lead-
ing milliner?" asked Polly of Grand-
pa.
"Just a few doors,'' htr- returned,
"and we will visit Mrs. A. Burkhead
who, by the way, has on hand the
latest dress, pattern, street, picture
hats and Parisian models to be
found in this community, the latest
styles and lowest prices being her
motto. She has that experience
which guarantees when you have
once-purchased of her you have the
proper thing at lowest cost."
And a few minutes later there
wasn't a happier lady than Polly in
the proud possession of a tony effect
of Mrs. Burkhead's own creation."
"There's an old saying that clothes
don't make the man," said Grand-
pa. "They may not, but they help,
and when they are swell tailored
togs such as G. W. Parris at the
Spotless Tailors turn out they help
mightly. His clothes have that snap
to 'em which makes a man who
wears them feel that he Is well
dressed, and then, too, he has a fine
line of new spring and summer
samples to select from. He guar-
antees you a fit and is here to make
good. He does all kinds of clean-
ing, pressing, (the kind that stays
creased), altering, repairing, dyeing,
reblocking of hats, and ladles work.
Does everything right and at right
prices."
"A swell tailored Sunday suit for
me at the Spotless Tailors," said
Charles—and he got it.
"As you are going to keep a
horse >ju will want some harness,"
said Grandpa, "and the boss horse
milliner and mule jeweler in this
section is J. W. Barnes. He is an
expert workman and gives personal
supervision to the minutest details
of manufacture. There isn't a thing
in this line that cannot be had of
him. Heavy and light, single and
double, plain and fancy, work and
buggy harness. He has them in
stock and makes them to order and
his handmade harness is strictly in
it. He alRo carries a complete stock
of saddles, whips, fiynets, dusters,
laprobes, bits, spurs, in fact, any-
thing a farmer or a gentleman horse
owner could possible desire and at
right prices.
"I know you are particular about
that mare, Kitty, so 1 advise you to
take her to Sam Eubanks and have
her shod. He understands perfectly
the anatomy of a horse's foot, just
what kind of a shoe is needed and
how to make and put it on. In fact,
he is, and employs, horse shoeing
specialists, treats all diseases of the
feet, cure corns, quarters, toe cracks,
will balance, gait and cure faulty-
action and avoid friction on most
scientific and up to now principles.
He also does all kinds of wagon
and carriage as well as general re-
pairing, rubber-tiring, tire shrinking,
in first class style at right prices and
has the tools and wherewithals to
do It with. He has a well equipped
shop here, run by electricity and is
prepared to turn out about anything
in wood or iron."
At this point Polly began to think
seriously of her houshold duties and
remarked to Grandpa:
"I'm not going to kill myself over
the waeh tub, so tell me of a good
laundry."
Here was a good chance to recom
mend Welch's Laundry. He makes
a specialty or ladies' and gentle-
men's fine laundry and prides him-
self on being able to satisfy the
most particular customer in that
line He does flat work and family
washing and makes about new that
old wrinkled skirt and palm beach
suit, and the prices at Welch's
Laundry are consistent with the very
best work that can be turned out.
"We will now visit an Institution
that does as much to advertise Tah-
lequah as any establishment in it,"
said Grandpa, "and that is the Tah-
lequah Ice Cream and Bottling Co.
You will find Tahlequah on every
bottle and box sent out and the
goods contained therein are a credit
to any firm and popular with a host
of pleased customers. „ Their jelups,
sodas and phosphates are sold ex

ACCUSED MAX BOUGHT POISON?
LINCOLN, III., April 28.—Daniel
Hurley, who was arrested Monday
on a charge of murdering Katherine
Roller, 17 years old, has admitted
according to the police, that he pur-
chased poison in Lincoln Saturday.
The girl went into convulsions that
day while riding with him. She
died four hours later, after he had
hurried her home.
Hurley, after several evasive an-
swers to questions, the police say,
declared he bought the drug at the
request of Miss Roller.
After C. F. Smith, state's attor-
ney, had placed a formal charge of
murder against Hurley, the prisoner
was held to the grand jury without
bail. He contended all day, under
