WHY YES, SHE GOT THE NOTE
Beautiful Rotes Appreciated, but
There Wit a "Fly in the
Ointment.”
A young man whose gallantry la in
excess or his means sought to remedy
this detect and to save the expense
Of the money required for the pur-
chase of flowers for his lady lores by
arranging with a gardener to let him
have a bouquet from time to time, in
return for his cant-off clothes. So it
happened that one day he received a
bunch of beautiful roses, which he at
once dispatched to her house. In
sure anticipation of a friendly wel-
come. be called on the young woman
that evening. He got a frosty recep-
tion.
“Did—er—did you get my flowers
today?” he was Anally forced to ask.
“Yen, and the note that went with
them.”
"Note? Why, did I send a note?"
“You did. A disgraceful note,
scrawled with a blunt pencil, on dirty
paper. Here it is. I don't understand
It, and 1 don’t think you are very
humorous.”
The note read aa follows:
“Here's your flowers, but you owt
me a pair of pants for ’em."—Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.
One Close Tip.
"Your wandering life as an actor
must cut you off from all tics."
"Ah. madam, say not so. The rail-
road ties are ever with us."
FOOD IN SERMONS
Feed the Dominie Right and the Sop
mono Are Brilliant.
Numerous Questions Unsettled—Ap-
portionment Bill, State Capitol
and Appropriations
Included.
Oklahoma City. Okla.—Talk of a
■>peciul session of the Oklahoma legis-
lature some time during the present
summer or fall has become as general
as it was toward the close of the regu-
lar session, and state affairs are so
shaping themselves that It Is freely
predicted a special session will be
called within thirty days after the
final passage of the new congressional
opportionmetit bill, which was passed
by the lower house of congress last
week.
During the regular session Governor
Crnce frequently expressed his oppo-
sition to the special session Idea, but
conditions have so shaped themselves
now that a special session seems to
be nlmost inevitable. The opportlon-
ment bill as passed by the bouse al-
lows Oklahoma eight members, and
places the matter of assignment of
the new members entirely in the lianda
of the legislature of the various
states. Unless the matter Is taken up
at the special session, therefore. It is
very doubtful whether Oklahoma
would be entitled to elect more than
five congressmen next year, and prob-
ably would have to wait until 1915
before getting the three extra repre-
sentatives which the state would be
allowed under this bill.
Various plans for opportlonment
were considered by the legislature at
the regular session, but the failure of
congress to pass an apportionment
bill before the legislature adjourned
and the uncertainty/ existing as to
Petitions Now Being Circulated to Re-
fer Statute to Referendum Vote.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—Information
was leceived here that the school land
sale bill passed by the last legislature
will be referred to a vote of the peo-
ple under the referendum provisions
or the constitution. Petitions are now
being printed and they tfill be arocu-
lated broadcast over the state for sig-
natures.
There is no doubt that enough sign-
ers will be secured to assure a refer-
endum, as there is considerable oppo-
sition to the sale. This will prevent
the bill from becoming effective June
11. and will suspend the operation of
the law pending a vote.
The school land act provides for the
sale of school land valued at about
$25,000,000, comprising sections 16
and 96, known as the common school
fund lands of the state. The school
land lessees’ organization will make a
state-wide campaign for the bill if re-
ferred.
Former Justice Off for Prison.
Tulsa, Okla.—John Farmer, forme,
justice of the peace of Frye township,
prominent farmer of this county, and
convicted murderer of John l.ukenhill,
having failed In every effort to get
another hearing, has been taken to the
state penitentiary at McAlester to
serve his seven-year sentence.
Farmer and I.ukenbill had entered
an agreement whereby they would
raise a crop of corn on a piece of land
owned by the latter, and when the
crop came off, they disagreed on the
disposition of the corn. Farmer had
forbidden I.ukenbill to remove any of
the crop from his own land and* one
day passed the place and found Luken-
bill and a boy shucking corn. He
drove home, secured a shotgun, re-
turned and killed Lukenblll. He then
surrendered. He was convicted over
a year ago and has since been trying
to appeal his ease to get a new trial
Association of 89era Formed.
Guthrie, Okla.—The first state meet-
i 'ssarsrzrs?r as
take any final action along that line. opeTed'i^.setllemmtmApr'il^L^ 1
A resolution was introduced on the
closing night by Senator Red wine, 'de.
daring it to be the sense of tile leg-
islature that any additional congress-
men should be elected at large, but
It had the form merely of a concur-
rent resolution nnd would have had no
binding effect.
The question of the amendment of
Section h, Article 9, as a matter which
undoubtedly would be brought before
closed here with the election of the
following officers: President, Col.
Thos. Soward of Guthrie; secretary,
John I,. Calvevrt of Guthrie: treas-
urer, Walter Mathews of Mulliall: first
vice president, J. C. Robert or Enid:
second, Henry Overholser of Oklaho-
ma City; third, Robert Lowry of Still-
water.
The first annual meeting will be
held In Guthrie on April 92 next. A

The Lesser Evil.
Greshsm college In 1719 was the
■cene of a famous serio-comic duel be-
tween two celebrated doctors. Doctor
Mead and Doctor Woodward, both of
whom were lecturers at the college.
While walking down lilshopsgate
street one morning they quarreled
over some medical question and ad-
journed to the square of the college
to tight It out with swords. Woodward
fell, wounded in several places, where-
upon Mead magnanimously said, "Take
thy life.” "Anything but your physic,"

Judgment Against Haskell.
Tulsa, Okla.—After deliberating all
night, n jury In the United States

Savings and Trust company a judg-

time, also dPttmnds some action by
the legislature. If It Is railed Into ses-
sion.
Some action also probably would ba
taken lit regard to the capital muddle,
which seems to need clarifying In
some way. The board of affairs would
like to have some authority to go
ahead with the building for the school
for the deaf at Sulphur, which Is tied
up pending legislative action by rea-
son of the failure of the contractors to
do the work according to specifica-
tions. and tlte educational Interests
would like to see the school for the
blind located permanently, so that Its
work could be put on a more lasting

400 involving stock In the Indianola
Contracting company of . Muskogee,
against former Governor Haskell.
Seven years ago Mr. Haskell nego
Hated a loan for $10,000 |rom this
bank and gave as security stock In the
Indianola Contracting company, along
with other securities. Haskell charg-
ed the bank with dissipating certain
of the securities nnd the court's ver-
dict is construed in the light of a vic-
tory for him. Haskell appeared as his
own counsel. The trial of the rase oc-
cupied three days and attracted much
attention.

THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA
SURPAS8ES ALL RECORD.
The returns recently issued by the
Canadian Immigration Branch Bbows
that upwards of 325,000 persons ar-
rived in Canada during the past
twelve months, declaring their inten-
tion of becoming settlers in that coun-
try. Of this number about 130,000
were from the United States, the bal-
ance being from the British Isles -and
Northern Europe. It will thus be seen
that the sturdy farming element that
has gone forward from the United
States Is being splendidly supplement-
ed by an equally sturdy settlement
from across the seas. ' The lure of
Canadian wheat, oats, barley and flax
grown on the rich prairie of Western
Canada is constantly attracting more
and more, and year by year the tide
of immigrants to the Western Candda
plains increases; there Is no ebb to
this tide. The Canadian authorities
are not surprised at the number from
the United States being as large as it
Is but they did not look for so large an
Immigration from the old countries.
StllL they will not be found unpre-
pared. Reception halls are In readi-
ness at all important points in Mani-
toba,' Saskatchewan and Alberta, sur-
veyors were at work during the past
season opening up new districts on
which to place those seeking free
homesteads of 160 acres each, rail-
ways have been projecting laterals
from their main lines, and every pro-
vision has been taken to accommo-
date the newcomer. A recent dis-
patch from Antwerp reads: "The di-
version of European emigration from
the United States to Canada la said
to be seriously affecting the Atlantic
steamship lines. The Red Star today
gives up to the Amerlca-Canada line
two of the best special emigrant
Steamers afloat, the Gothland and the
Samland. These vessels heretofore
In the Antwerp-New York service are
now to be operated from Rotterdam to
Canadian ports.”
On the date of the above dispatch
word came to the Immigration branch
that the “Vanguard of the 1911 army
of United States settlers reached Win-
nipeg at 1:30 o'clock this morning.
There was a solid train load of ef-
fects, comprising 41 carloads and two
colonist sleepers attached to the train,
which contained the members of 25
families. Every man Jack In the
party is a skilled farmer, and all have
come north prepared to go right on
the land, which was purchased last
year. They are equipped with every-
thing that experience has shown! is
necessary to make a start on virgin
prairie. In addition to machinery and
household effects there were a large
number of horses and cattle, ^me of
the farmers had also brougt^ along
gas tractors, which will be pBl right
to work on ground breaking."
One of the agents of the Canadian
government advises that It would ap-
pear as if each month of the present
year would show a large increase over
the past year. The demand for the
literature of the department, describ-
ing the country and Its resources, la
greater than It ever has been.

jokes about how the English weren’t
so slow ss they are supposed to be

he tried his theory oh a British guest

“Did you ever hear Mark Twain’s
joke about how the report of his
death had been greatly exaggerated 7”
he asked.
"No.” answered the Englishman,
eagerly, "but I’ll wager it was good.
