The fight inaugurated by the
Bell for a commercial club oper-
ated on business principles is
being kept up by the American.
The Bell endorses many things
contained in the American’s arti-
cle, especially the following:
“In the first place it should be
officered and controlled by busi-
ness men whose interests are
Wholly in Pi ^ono, men who are
V-M estate f,\Vnehs and who in'e
large business interests that de-
pend wholly upon the upbuilding
of this city. At this time it is
imperative that El Reno should
be up and doing, or it will get left
in the battle for supremacy among
the cities of this territory.”
But it does not approve of the
organizing of another club. The
present organization is all right,
when straightened out. Too
much attention has been given to
the social foatures, which are all
right ns incidents; and two little
to railroad and general business
matters, which should be made
the principal feature. The recent
agitation has cleared the atinos
phere. Now let’s get together
and do some good work for El
Reno. The El Reno club is all
right. It simply needs “fixin’ ”
Bet’s fix it.

When A. C. Springs mailed a
business letter to a friend several
thousand miles from El Reno he
wondered when a reply would
reach here. Some of the post-
office boys suggested a certain
date. Mr. Springs said: “If it
comes by that time the oysters
are on Ricker & Springs." The
letter came yesterday, and across
its alabaster brow was inscribed,
“oysters.” Last night the post-
office force enjoyed oysters and
many other good things gotten up
in Gerrcrs’ best style. Mr.
Springs gave Gerrer Bros, carte

It looked innocent enough. It was orlf
a dainty, blue-tinted envelope with thi
usual stamp in the upper right-hand cor
Her. The address, written in a clear femi
nine hand, read:
"Mr. Harold Junes.
“Care of Jones, Jones Co.. Brokers,
V ••
Ilarold Jones wa* at his desk ,n hi* diogj
little private office, busy with the morn-
ing null, when he found this little blue
faced, red-stamped intruder among the pil«
ot business letters which awaited ins atten
tion. He picked up the innorent-lookini
little missive and turned it over several
times before he opened it and read:
"Dear Sir: If y»»u will take a friend’s
advice you will not stay In Ho.ston Thurs-
day night, as usual. Better go home and
surprise your wife. A word to the wist
U sufficient. O. \V. K.“
Jones tat glaring at it for a few min
utes, then, with a grunt of disgust, he con
signed the missive and its blue container it
the depths of the waste basket and re
•umed his attack on the pile ot mad matter
before him.
But Jones was an excitable, imaginative
man with a j alou* disposition. I he fei
nient of jealoti-y once set working would no*
he quieted by his hrtter judgment. Tha
letter, the distrust that was creeping in
gave poor Jones no peace that morning.
Mr. Harold Jones went home to lunch
a thing he had not done for months, as h
found it more eonvenu nt to get a sand wad
mid clip ot coffee down town.
Jones had been married u little more thar
five years. Just a year and a day after thi
wedding a little son had come to brighter
their home life. They lived happily jus4
outside the city. Quarrel* in the Joneafam*
ily were few and far between, hut then
was no doubt about the fact that Jones war
unreasonably jealous of hie* wife.
When Jones, on this particular day,
turned up so unexpectedly at the cot-
tage for luncheon he found the house
empty. Mrs. Jones and son were out. It
was the worst thing that coud have hap-
pened to Jones in his perturbed frame of
n.ind.
To begin with he could not find the key
to the pantry and must needs go hungry ci
return to town for lunch. Then rummaging
shout the house he found lying on the
dressing table in his wife's room an open
letter, the writing undoubtedly masculine
He did not intend to readmit but every
time he passed through the room the
thing stared at him and seemed to *
beckon to him. Then he yielded and took
the thing to the w indow. What he said is
not fit for publication. 1 he letter read:
"Dearest Nellie: Let me know If that
husband of yours Is going to leave you
alone Thursday night, as usual. If h*
Ik I will be over, ko you will not be
alone. WILL.
Mrs. Jones called at her husband’s office
down town and was surprised to learn that
he had not returned from lunch. She am!
Harold, Jr., were soon mingling with*h*
other shoppers in on. of the ;urge depart
ment stores. When Mrs. Jonen set her lac*
homeward she felt duly elated over feu<« ess
ful bargain hunting, and had never a su*
picion of the tempest brewing in the li
brary.
No need to dwell on the scene which fol-
1 ■ r
lunate in his choice of words anil he eouif
not keep h?a temper. He had been nur»:nj
his wrath and imagined wrongs for nearly
three hours and on an empty stomach a>
that. Mrs. Jones' surprised reply to hi
volcanic outburst fell on deaf ear.-, his eye*
blinded by jealousy failed to see that whick
he should have seen.
Mrs. Jones was hurt to the- quick, th*
unjust suspicion fitun^ her deeply, and the®
pride stepped in and forbade any attempt
at further explanation. She never saw th#
evil little blue-tinted ir -sive; it was hidinj
in Jones’ pocket. He did not mention it.
When the door ot tiro Jones cottagi
opened, an hour later, Mrs. Jones and sot
appeared on the threshold and a few min-
utes later a ear was bearing them swiftly
“home to mother's.” Jones spent the night
at the club.
A week passed and Jones heard nothing
from his wife, and he had had p enty of time
to cool down. The .* rst few days of that
week life had been a burden for the stenog-^
rupher and the office boy. •
Now Jones was beginning to a.*k himse '
if he had been fair and if perhaps th*
whole thing had not been a deliberate plar
to cause trouble between himself and u ;fe
Nellie had never befere given him an> ita
cause for jealousy, ^he had been pat • m
forbearing and loving always. That noli
on the drt - a -would she have left it there
if there had uen anyteiug to conceal.'
If it wasn’t for that odious litt'e b.ue*
tinted disturber he would never havt
quarreled with Ne lie. Perhaps that note
was written by some malicious person whe
wanted to destroy his happiness. \\ eli.

When Jones thought of the little home now

who was always on the step to greet him or

the sweet faced wife who met him at th;
door, was lost to him, a great lump would
come to his throat.
