Joel M. Sandlin, of Guthrie,
and the ruling made that those
selling it are guilty of violating
the prohibitory laws of the state.
I be holding follows an announce-
ment of State Enforcement Attorney

that analysis by the state chemist
proved beyond doubt that “Amber
Mead ’ contained from 1-1 to 5 per-
centum of alcohol.
On the same date as Judge Sand-

judgment directly to the contrary
was rendered at Tulsa with regard
to Amber Mead. Judge Gubser of

lots of confiscated Amber Mead after

Marshal Hoffman yesterday order-
ed every pool hall in town that sold
Atr.ber Mead," a near beer drink,
to ship it out of town and gave the
owners two hours to get it to the

with his orders and that there is

Black Chambers, champion trick
roper of the world, who h"s been
touring the country with the play
the ‘‘Cowpuncher. ” for the past
two seasons, was in this city yester-
day from Claremore, his home,
Chambers came up to Tulsa for
medical treatment, having recently
broken a blood vessel which neces-
sitated his leaving the stage.
Chambers spent several weeks at
the Long Island home of Fred Stone,
of Montgomery and Stone—‘‘Red
Mill” fame, teaching Stone how to
rope.” ‘‘Stone tried to teach me
how to dance, ” laughed Chambers,
but I couldn’t do much at it.
Stone though, learned to rope in a
short time and is going to add that
to the rest of bis stage accomplish-
ments. ”
"Eastern people don’t appreciate
roping the way westerners do,”
continued Chambers. "They’re
looking for a hidden wire and that
sort of thing. Out west they know
roping when they see it, and that
is what a man appreciates.”
Chambers, was twice arrested in
the east for roping policemen. "It
was easy, " he said, "but they pull-
ed me for it. As soon as I explained
how matters stood though they let
me go.”
Chambers is a tine physical speci-
men of man. Well over six feet, he
is built proportionately, has line,
clean cut features, and the black
hair that tells unmistakably of his
Indian blood. He has been advised
by his physicians to quit violent
exercises of all kinds until he is in
good physical condition again —

Modern Rival cf the Famous Charac-
ter That Made Richard Sher-
idan Famous
In an uptown social circle It Is a mat-
ter of gossip that a certain charming
young woman never lets her mother
out of ear shot because the older
woman's conversational transports
need to be continually checked. She
is rich even for New York, but she
outdoes all the Mrs. Malaprops lu
town.
When she returned from Paris last
year some one asked her if she had
seen the tutlleries. "Why, certainly
not!” she responded, drawing herself
up majestically. "I’ve too much sense
to push in where I’m not wanted, and
if the tuillerles had wanted us to visit
them they would have called first.
They didn't, did they, Carrie?" she
asked, turning lo her embarrassed
daughter. The latter explained to her
mother that the tuillerles was a pal-
ace of the French kings, and that it
was filled with works of art, like the
louvre. The mother thereupon re-
joined — "Speakin’ of works of art.
you can break up all the rest if you'll
only leave me the belladonna and the
dying gladiolus Did I ever toil you
of the arils! my daughter met in Rome?
lie went mad over the shape of her
hand, and nothin' would do hut lie
should make a bust of It.”
The daughter had one thing to re-
jolce over, however, and that was
that nobody this side of the Atlantic
would he likely to hear of the message
that she had heard her mother send to
a visitor by a servant In a London
hotel.
Just tell him.” she said, gazing lan-
guidly through her lorgnou at the card
that had been handed her. "that lie'll
have to excuse me this time, as just
at present I am decomposing on the
sofa."—New York Press.

60V. HASKELL TO RETIRE FROM PIBIIC LIFE
Alter Uplrallon 01 His Present Term as
Oovenor.
Oklahoma City, Aug. U1 -"When
my term of office as governore.xpires
1 shall retire from public life,”
said Governor C. N. Haskell at the
Threadgill hotel last night. “I have
no futhor political ambitions and at
the end of my administration I shall
devote my time to running my
weekly paper in Oklahoma City. ”
This statement from Governor
Haskell goes a long way in clearing
up the political atmosphere in Okla
Toma. It has been persistently
rumored that he would seek to suc-
ceed Senator Robert L. Owen in the
l nited States senate. His statement
of last night puts an end to that
rumor and leaves a clear held for
Senator Owen, provided no other
aspirants appear.
Tulsa property owners to the
number of seventy-seven stepped
off the special train at the Katy
station last evening on the return
from the Muskogee trip, after
thoroughly inspecting the Texaco
paving laid at Muskogee. They
returned thinking, talking and
believing absolutely in the new
asphalt.—Tulsa World.

Muskogee Okla., Aug. 11. 1909.
Mr. Ben 11. Hester,
Superintendent ofSehools, Rogers
county, Claremore, Oklahoma.
•Sir: As provided by the agree-
ments of the various Indian tribes,
one acre of land was reserved from
allotment for school patronized bv
Indian and Freedmen pupils and
also, in some instance an acre was
reserved from allotment for the
chu rches.
It has been brought to the atten-
tion of this office, in some instance
school districts organized undei the
state laws have considered that
these one acre tracts reserved for
school purposes have been trans-
ferred to and are the property of
the state and that they can take pos-
session of the same without any
further steps to procure title. This
is an error as the title toall of t hese
tracts of land reserved from allot-
ment is in the Indian nation until
the same are oroperly conveyed.
Also in these cases, whenever the
land ceases to be used for the pur-
poses for which it was reserved,
which in the cases of schools, is for
the education of Indian or Freed-
men children, the right of the per-
sons or organizations for which the
land was reserved to use the same
terminates and the land reverts to
the t ri Hi'.
In all of these cases the Depart-
ment will be glad to assist the
school districts desiring the same.
1 lie procedure to lie followed is for
application to be made upon flit
torn is enclosed herewith upon re-
ceipt ot which the land will be
appraised and as soon as the ap-
praised value is paid by the district,
patent will be prepared conveying
the land. In all cases, however,
where buildings have been con-
structed on these reservations, the
school district should show that
it hasacqiiired the building from the
person or persons who constructed
or owned the same.
1 would he glad to have you ad-
vise t lie various school districts in
your county hereof.
Very respectfully,
•L G. Wright, Commissioner.
The city man on the honeysuckle-
clad porch smoked and listened to the
farm hand’s talk. "Weather vanes is
Wind indicators." said the farm hand,
"but chickens and turkeys by orlniis,
is wind prophets."
"Come off," said the city man.
"Gospel truth.” declared the farm
hand "In a cam, when there ain't
Koin' to he no wind, the birds alius
roosi on the tree houghs with their
heads alternatin' each way—number
one laces east, number two west, num-
ber three north and so on. That's a
Sign of cam. Hot supposin' there's
Roin' to be a strong high wind. Then
they all roost, every mother’s son on
em, facin' it. Accordin’ as they face,
so you can prophesy the wind win
blow before mornin'.
"I HgRor it out,” said the farm hand,
‘that in a cam the bunch faces dif-
ferent ways so as to look out for dan-
ger better. Hut If it's goin' to blow up
in the night, then they face the blow
so's they can hosl hang on to their
perch. W hat l can’t figure out,
though. Is how in the mischief they
smell that wind five or six hours be-
fore It’s due."

Was He Right?
An automobile stood at the curb in
front of a theater. It was an impos-
ing machine of burnished brass and
crimson leather, and as its owner
came out of the theater and was got-
ting aboard one of a couple of chil*
(Iren asked with the confidence—or
maybe impudence—that goes with in-
nocence and bare legs:
Say, mister, drive us around the
square, won’t you? We ain't never
been in a nautymobile-"
The man paid no attention and
whizzed away. Of course, children
are a nuisance, but it would have
been worth while, maybe, to give two
small girls a memory to last them n
lifetime-
And, maybe, again, got himself ar
rested for kidnaping.

Brought Her Own Potatoes.
A young German girl who has re-
cently come to live with relatives In
America, amused them exceedingly by
bringing with her a large box filled
full of potatoes, because she Is par-
ticularly partial to them, and was
told that in this country we had only
the variety known as "sweet," which
did not sound to her nice at all. As
her potatoes sprouted on the journey,
showing a decided inclination to con-
vert themselves Into flourishing vines,
she was greatly comforted to find that
her relatives could supply the defi-
ciency. This German girl is astonished
that, though we seem to value the po-
tato, we do not, as in the case In her
country, erect statues to Sir Walter
Raleigh, who Introduced the plant Into
Europe.

When Youth Wanes.
Old age has many definitions, and
middle age more. But you may take
It that you are not really an old man
so long aa you take an Interest In
your personal appearance. There Is
not a nurse who does not know the
sign of'convalescence—when the pa-
tient wants to be shaved and put a
good appearance In this world. And
so long as the man of 60 can take an
Interest In the latest tie—and tie It—
he is preserving his youth.
