TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE
Tishomingo School Will En-
gage in Husbandry.
Simple Stratagem That Secured for
“Knight of the Road” a Sub-
stantial Meal.
A clever little bit of human nature
wns used by a "knight of the road" re-
cently on a matron living In a suburb
of Pittsburg, and as a result be Blept
with a full stomach that night.
The suburb Is quite small, and when
the tramp dropped off a freight and
ambled up the main street ho was quite
hungry. There were about ten houses
which gave fair chance of meals, and
the tramp lost no time, lie was not
surprised when the first housewife
slammed the door In hiq face, nor the
second, for that was natural and the
proper thing to do. But when he
reached the ninth house, or rather was
helped away, he was thoroughly dis-
gusted. The town certainly had him
hoodooed.
After a short rest and a deep think
the hungry one knocked at the door
of the tenth house.
“Madam, can you let a hungry man
have a bite to eat? 1 don't think you
can, though," he said. The woman
opened her ears.
“Why can't I?" she inquired.
“The woman next door said
didn’t have enough for yourself."
He got his meal.

Guthrie.—The fruition of the sys-
tem of secondary education estau-
Ushed by the first state legislature,
unique In Its scope and character, was
found in the graduation from the Mur-
ray School of Agriculture at Tisho-
mingo, during the week, of four stu-
dents, James Allen Jennings, James
Karl Kemp, Aubry Claude Mason and
Miss Genevieve Leslie Shearer. The
threo boys of the class all will go back
to the farm, showing that the school
has accomplished its purpose and has
not weaned its students away from
farm life, as is charged against so
many agricultural schools, while Miss
Shearer will teach domestic science in
the schools of the state.
These four graduates are the first
to finish the course in any of the sec-
ondary agricultural schools, six of
which are now in operation. The regu-
lar coursp. Is three years, and It was
not expected that tiny of the students
would finish in less time than that, but
the four who graduated this year al-
ready had a good high school training
and were able to obtain credits on a
large part ot their academic work atm
devote most of their time to the in-
dustrial work, thus finishing the en-
tire course in two years’ time. The
three boys had for the subject of their
commencement addresses “The Value
of a Mechanical Education,” “Educa-
tion for the Farmer,” and "Live Stock
Problems," while the one girl’s subject
was "Education for the Homemaker—
Demonstrated.”

New York.
New York. June 3.—Cotton futures
opened steady at a decline of 4 to 9
points. Cables were considerably low-
er than expected and that fact brought
out considerable liquidation from the
lopg side on the first call. In the ear-
ly trading the market displayed weak-
ness and at the end of the first half
hour of business the more active posi-
tions stood at a decline of 7 to 12
points.

JlggH—What makes Boozer have
such a vacant look?
Jaggs—1 guess he’s full.
A Cynical Synonym.
“Poor Myra Kelley," said a maga-
zine editor at the Authors’ club in
New York, “was almost as distressed
as Mr. Carnegie at the spirit of graft
And crookedness rampant among us.
“The young writer, at a dinner of
magazine contributors, said that we
worshiped wealth—that was our trou-
ble. Then she crystallized her mean-
ing in an anecdote.
“She said that one man asked an-
other:
“ ‘What position does Blank hold in
the community?’
“ ’A very honorable position,’ wk&
the reply.
“ ‘Is he wealthy?’
“ ‘Wealth and honor,’ said the other,
‘are synonymous terms in America to-
day.’ ”
Reasoning of Youthful Mind.
A schoolmistress whose hair was
of the blackest hue, was one day giv-
ing a lesson on a coal mine to a class
in Suffolk, England. To make the les-
son interesting as possible she went
on to say she had herself been in a
coal mine. A little lad put up his
hand, and when pointed to said:
“Please, teacher, is that what made
your hair so black?"
Humility is the first lesson we
learn from reflection, and self distrust
the first proof we give of having ob-
tained a knowledge of ourselves.—Zim-
merman.

Crop Conditions Are Good.
Guthrie.—Showing wheat conditions
as good over the state at large, al-
though very poor in some localities,
the monthly crop bulletin of the state
board of agriculture, just issued, give3
the growing condition of winter wheat
as SS.3 per cent, compared with s.\G
last month and 61.5 a year ago. Good
growing weather and seasonable rains
have helped the crop, except in Kay
and Grant counties, where the light
showers were not sufficient to check
damage by chinch bugs, resulting In
the plowing up of much wheat and
oats and planting the land to corn.
The abandoned avreage for the state
is only 2.1 per cent, compared with 1.1
last month anr] 11.4 a year ago. Only
twenty-two counties report any a: all.
Kay county shows 23 per cent aban-
doned. Noble and Grant follow with
14 arid 8 respectively. Kiowa, Har-
mon and Texas report 5 to 7 per cent
abandoned on account of damage from
high winds.
The acreage to be harvtsted is esti
mated at 1,537,423 acres, against 1,-
000,235 in 1909, and this with the
prospect for a good yield indicates
that the total wheat crop of the state
will be the largest ever raised.

Dr. Bulgin Stirs Claremore.
Clsremore.—Rev. E. J. Bulgin, the '
civic righteousness exangelist, is mak- 1
ing a sensation in Claremore and
Rogers county. He has organized a
Rogers county law and order league
kith 500 charter members. A collec-
tion was taken and $450 raised to start
the work. John TT. Ezzard, a mem-
ber of the first state legislature, was
retained as counsel to look after the
legal phases of the league's work. H.
O. Hurst of Claremore was elected
president.
Dr. Bulginsair he was holding off
reading names of bootleggers and
gamblers, as he would rather save
than condemn them. One hundred
and nineteen conversions were report-
ed at Sunday’s meeting.
State Enforcement Officer Fred S.
Caldwell slipped into town quietly a
day or two ago and out again. Bulgin
sprung a bomb shell when he said the
governor had promised him a special
grand jury would be imnapeled to in-
vestigate charges he had to prefer
and affidavits to present. "Rogers
county is as foul and whisky flows an
free as it| did at Shawnee, which I
cleaned up,” he announced.
At the meeting he said the prepara-
tory -school was a mess here that
should be cleaned up and that the
people should protest until some of
the faculty is changed, the statement
being made that a certain professor
on the faculty Is in the habit of teacn-
ing_boys to smoke cigarettes and how
to roll them; also teaching the pupils
to dance.

This famous poem is contained In
the Coca Cola Baseball Record Book
for 1910, together with records, sched-
ules for both leagues and other valu-
able baseball information compiled by
authorities. This interesting book

Ga., on receipt of 2c stamp for post-
age. Also copy of their booklet

A Child's View.
Scarlet fever was in the house next
door Biid a little girl of eight had lis-
tened to the recital of what was hap-
pening. A caller came and the child
attempted to entertain the stranger
until her mother came Into the draw-
ing room.
She told about the trouble next
door, but in the telling “broke in” and
“broke out’’ got tangled lu her child-
brain.
t “Johnny’s got scarlet fever, because
bis face is all red and his chest is
broken In!” she announced.
His Excellence.
“I tell you,” said one man to an-
other as they emerged from thiylimly
lighted corridor of a concert hall, ”l
envy that fellow1 who was singing."
"Envy him!" echoed the other.
“Well, If 1 were going to envy a sing-
er I’d select somebody with a better
voice, ills was about the poorest I
over heard,"
"It’s not his volco I envy, man,"
was the reply. “It’s his tremendous
courage."—Ladies' Home Journal.
His Pull.
“Does that 'ere thin, stoop shoul-
dered. dyspeptic-lookin' drummer that

any better or cheaper goods than the
fat one ye turned down ho hard yester-
day?” Inquired 111 Spry,

Squam Corners merchant, 'but his

Placarded.
A pretty good Joke was that played
on a rolund alderman, who wandered
about the streets healing a placard on
hIh broad back inscribed;
"Widened at the expense of the eor-
potation."—Tit-Bits.
Not the Reply He Expected.
“Do you object tb smoking?" he
asked.
“Not at all. Have you a cigarette?"
she replied.
