cleansed my limbs but felt u prickly

for two years but I noticed a scum
on my legs like fish scales. I did not
attend to It. until It came to be too
itchy and sore and began getting two
running sores. My ankles were all
sore and scabby and I could not wear
shoes. 1 had to use carpet and felt
slippers for weeks. I got a cake of

trial charged with the murder of Will
Ligon, September 28, 1908, was ac-
quitted by a jury at Muskogee. Tulk

ed down the street in Muskogee re-
cently, he was poized by a woman who
threw her arms about, his neck. For a
moment he was taken aback, until he

Citizens of Woodward voted $75,000
bonds for the* purpose of erecting a |
school building. The building will be a
20-room structure and will bmo locat-
ed in the center of a tract of four city
blocks which arc to be acquired for
this purpose.
After two unsuccessful attempts,
the bond issue at Chandler carrying
with it $25,000 for waterworks exten-
sions. carried almost 3 to 1 and the
citizens are jubilant. It was mainly
through the campaign waged by Un-
commercial club that the proposition
was carried. The bankers who have
been arranging to care for the bon Is
declare that the market’Is good and
that there will be no trouble.
To save the town of Middleburg
Okla.. from being wiped off the map
Dorset Carter, president of the Okla
homa Central railroad, has tiled suit
In the United States circuit court
against J. George Wright, commis-
sioner to the Five Civilized Tribes,
asking that he be restrained from
entertaining the contest claim of Delia
Ho wen, a Chickasaw Indian. Bowen
received his allotment certificate
and sold his allotment to Carter who
established the town of Middleburg.
Now a contest lias been started over
the Burns allotment. Carter claims
that if Wright listens to the contest
he must decide the case on the pre-
cedent set by the Fulsom-Stidham de-
cision, which would take the land
away from Burns ami place it in th<*
hands of Delia Bowen, causing Burns
Irreparable damage and loss of $15,-
000.
With the final passage of the gross
production tax bill amendment low-
ering the tax on coal from two to on *-
half of one per cent, Auditor Trapp
has already begun to receive remit-
tances from the coal companies
though the governor has not yet sign-
’d the bill. The bill provides that all
hack taxes must be paid at the “two
per cent” rate. The McGregor Coai
company of Poteau was the first to
pay up. It is a small concern and its
remittance amounted to only $15.29.
The Rock Island Coal company which
owes about $10,DM), and the Hailey-
Ola company which owes about $s,
OOO in back taxes, and other large
companies are holding off and it is
not yet entirely certain whether they
will pay the tax or tight it. The tota!
amount of back taxes due amounts to
approximately $55,000. t
The Santa Fe Railway company will
begin work April 1 on a $15,000 new
passenger station to be located at
Norman. The station will be built a
block from Main street and the cen-
ter of the town.

Alaskan Firesides.
This sounds like a contradiction in
terms; for with the word Alaska we
conjure up a picture quite different
from the cheerful domestic view sum-
moned at the mime of fireside!
Yet there tire many such there, and
more worthy of the name, perhaps be-
cause of the bleakness from which
they afford shelter. Nowhere Is there
such kindness; nowhere does the
word, neighbor, mean so much!
And another word—and one which
we associate witli fireside, the word,
mother, has an extraordinary signifi-
cance there in that faraway part of
our land. For motherhood means bo
much to the new country, and a baby
is a sort of public benefaction. Like
the burly miner in Bret Harte’a story,
who let the little one “wrastle with
liis finger,” the pioneers unite to wor-
ship and work for It.
Late nows from the Yukon tells of a
woman who was carried over a winter
trail of 170 miles in a dog sleigh to
the nearest doctor. A weary and try-
ing trip it was, with narrow escapes
from wolves and exhaustion. But it
was safely accomplished, and now the
baby girl is the pride of the camp.
Pewter.
The fashionable revival of pewter
renews interest in this quaint old met-
al. nnd gives an opportunity of pos-
sessing decorative articles, suited to
the needs of the home, in house and
table adornment, without much outlay.
Long ago, before silver had come in-
to use for domestic purposes, the
plates, dinner-vessels, and drinking-
cups were all of pewter, and so dur-
able was this that it was handed down
from father to son. It was composed
of tin and lead chietly, copper and
brass being also represented in it, aiul
antimony in the “silver pewter.”
Nowadays, an admixture of silver
is often seen, usually in the form of
studding with silver nails. U* to-date
craftsmen use the pewter appliqued
on wood. This is lacquered and re-
quires no polishing.
A great deal of old English pewter
bears the silver mark, but that is
simply due to the fact that the ad-
herents of the Stuarts sacrificed their
silver to the king's cause, and an ex-
act replica was made in pewter.
THE FAIR PENITENT.
VISITED a lady friend
Who had of pretty things
no end.
Said I: “The money that
you spend.
Is quite alarming.”
She giggled. W this cup
you see,
l smuggled frfm a hos-
telry.
This spoon, too, at a pub-
lic tea
f thought mufft charm-
ing.
"Of pitchers I can't have
enough.
1 carried this home in my
muff.
Cafes get such a lot of stuff—
Who am I harming?
“Indeed. I couldn’t tell just how.
But while the waiters scrape and bow,
1-take the things.” her smile, I vow,'
Was all disarming.
“I’m very proud of my collection.
But, after all, upon reflection,
1 fear my morals netxl inspection,
And some reforming.”
Timely Tips.
Charcoal is a great purifier. Put a
piece in the refrigerator, in the chest,
or any receptacle which lias a musty
odor.
Sheets which are worn in the cen-
ter may he made almost as good as
new by ripping the center and sewing
them up again, the selvage sides to-
gether. Then hem the raw seams.
Clean woodwork with a rag dipped
in paraffine. Flannel rag is best.
Salts of lemon will remove rust
spots.
Vassar Squash.
There is. of course, no squash in the
composition of this dish.
Make a cream sauce; acid a cup of
diced, cooked veal, and one of corn.
Serve in a chafing-dish, on toast.
This can be made more elegant by
using chicken instead of veal and
mushrooms rather than corn. Wither
Is delicious, blended with the cream
sauce and served hot.
A Handy Basket.
A basket or bag is much more con-
venient if. instead of strings for fast-
ening. it be made with whalebone or
wire in the top so that It may be open
and ready when needed. Attached to
the sewing machine or op the* wall
near, this open-top bag or basket will
be found a great convenience.
WHAT WIFE SAY8 “GOES."
But It Sometimes Is Bad for the
Painting.
When a property-owner knows noth-
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint-
er. It would not be so if the property-
owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every-
thing to him. But the house-owner so
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter In every commu-
nity has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever vexed a consci-
entious workman or contractor-, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by-
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in-
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painter’s hurrying the work.
"I’m not going to liuve that painter’s
mess around my house a month,” the
wife says, and what wife says goes—
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money.
if the painter stays away a few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: "That painter's
neglecting this work—guess he's side-
tracking mo for Jones’ work. I won't
stand it.”
What chance does a painter have to do
good work for a man who is continually
nagging at him and otherwise handi-
capping him (without meaning it. of
course)? A poor job is the inevitable
result of such interference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money—don't forget that. It might
pay. you to gel the practical paint
book, painting specifications and in-
strument for detecting paint adul-
terants, which National Lead Co. are
offering under the title of House
Owner’s Painting Outfit No. 49. Ad-
dress National Lead Co., 1902 Trinity
Bldg., New York City. This company
do not make paint (they leave that to
the painter to do) but they make
pure white lead (“Dutch Boy Painter"
trademark kind), and they can tell
you how to save money by securing
durable painting.
CONSOLING.
Artist—Yes, my art is my fortune.
Model (cheerily)—Never mind. Pov-
arty is no crime.
Unfortunate Expression. ,
That fruitful source of mirth, the
mixed metaphor, is ever with us. It
illustrates on almost every appearance
the truth of the saying that the sub-
lime and the ridiculous are but a step
apart.
in a book on the laboring man, con-
taining some excellent ideas, there
appeared the following sentence:
"What manner of woman is she who
would turn her eyes toward other
things, which would become ashes on
her very lips?"
The flippant answer is, of course, “A
cross-eyed woman.—Youth's Compan-
ion.
Diplomacy.
"When a man has an argumeut with
his wife, and she proves that he is in
the wrong-”
"Yes?"
“Should he own up to it?"
"No, That's had business. He
should maintain he was right, and
then go out and buy her something
nice."—Cleveland Leader.
Worse and Worse.
"I tell you, mamma," cried Freddie,
"I don’t like that doctor's medicine."
“But this is liniment, my dear,"
coaxed his mother.
“Well," replied Freddie, very doubt-
fully, "isn't that rubbing it in?”—Har-
pers Weekly.
DIDN’T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.
Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The drug—caffeine—in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which,
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
"I am sixty-five and have had a good
deal of experience with coffee. I con-
sider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. I am sure it causes
decay of teeth in children.
“When I drank coffee I had sick
spells and still did not realize that
coffee could be so harmful, till about
a year ago I had rheumatism in my
arms and fingers, got so nervous I
could not sleep, and was all run down.
"At last, after finding that medicines
did me no good, I decided to quit cof-
fee entirely and try Postum. After
using it six months I fully recovered
my health beyond all expectations, can
sleep sound and my rheumatism is all
gone." “There's a Reason.''

A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO.
Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewis' Single Binder Cigar
Factory.
What is.probably the biggest lot of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States hns just
been purchai>ed by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis*
Single Binder Cigars. The # lot^ will
make twenty-four carloads, and is se-
lected from what is considered by ex-
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is sufficient to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers of
Lewis' Single Binder Cigars will appre-
ciate this tobacco.

What Ailed Tommie.
Tommie was eating walnuts. His
mother cautioned him about eating
many, fearing they would make him
sick. Presently he came in. his hand
on his stomach and a very distressed
look in his face.
“Those nits have inude you sick, I
see. I just knew they would.” said
the mother.
"They haven’t, either,” whined Tom-
mie. "I am not sick; it’s just my
pants are too tight.”—Delineator.
Hubby’s Argument.
Mrs. Hoyle—My husband declares
that corsets are unhealthy; he insists
lhat they shorten life.
Mrs. Doyle—Is that so?
Mrs. Hoyle—Yes; he says he knew
of a man who lived to be 100 years
old who never wore them.
“I'm tired of that not-much-cf-any-
thing flavor.” “I’m fond of that deli-
cious Wrlgley’s Spearmint flavor.”

to their art have good grounds for a
