For Governor,

JUDGE M. C. GARBER,
of Garfield county.
Mr. Bryan’s plurality
in Okla-
homa w.is a little over 13,000. A
Democratic loss of 200,000 in one
year. According to that ratio,
Oklahoma will be Republican
in just seven months.
There is a slight boom started
for Dennis T. Flynn, for Secre-
tary of the Interior, in Mr, Taft’s
cabinet. Oklahomans, general
ly, will endorse such an appaint-
ment, for who would be better
fitted for the position than Den-
n;s. The bulk of the business
of th^t department has to do
with the west, and there is not a
man in the United States better
acquainted with the conditions
in the West than Hon. D. T.
Flynn.
in New Orleans for the storing
of all kinds of farm products
with the expectation of holding
them unt.il the price is right.
The scheme is exactly that set
forth is the book recently pub-
lished by Mr. Callahan.’
“The warehouse will be built
by the state of Louisana, if pres-
e it plans are executed, at a cost
as qet unknown, but running in-
to the millions. There is little
if any question that it will be
built. Governor Sunders, of
Louisana, agreed before the
congress to see that it was done.
Forty per cent of the Louisana
legislators are members of the
Farmers Union, and sixty per
cent are closely following the
governor. A special session is
t > be called at once to authorize a
sbice bond issue of sufficient size
tocarry out the plan.”
“We believe that this is the on-
lv successful way to fight the
trust and get a fair price for our
products,” said Mr Callahan. “I
am confident the scheme will
work out all right.”
‘‘Mr. Callahan is chairman of
a committee of seven, appointed
by the unions to look after the
details of the proposition. A re-
view of thg work of theconggress
shows that Mr. Callahan was tl e
ending figure there.”
“The committee of which ho s
cl airman had placed in its hands
actually turned over for control,
one million bales of spot cotton,
worth from forty-five to fifty ^
million dollars, to be heldorsold, j
as in the opinion of the commit-
tee, will affect the market most
avorably for the farmer. .Chis
vast sum will certainly control j
to a large extent the price, and
means that the farmer has the
speculator in cotton down and
out. It is proposed through the |
warehouse dan to put all th6|
other speculators in the same
place.”
LONELINESS OF GREAT CITY.
Elsewhere in this issue ap-
pears the Thanksgiving procla
mation of Governor Haskell. It
is a pleasure to print such mild
and soul inspiring epistles, free
from that spirit of vindictiveness
and in such sweet accord with
the Puritan fathers views, broth-
erly love. One wTould suppose
that our Governor was out o
joint with such tender sympa-
thies as expressed in his Procla-
mation, which is so free from re-
buke, judging from his past let-
ters to the public. In his proc-
lamation he manifests a spirit of
thankfulness and gratitude,
which overshadows the evil
thoughts cavorting in his brain
for the past few months.
A BIG DEAL.
“J. Y. Callahan, president of
the Farmers mill, has returned
from being in attendance on the
national convention of members
of the Farmers Union in New
Orleans, where hh played a lead-
ing part and was the chief factor,
in connection with W. B. Thomp-
son, one of the wealthiest men of
the south, in bringing about the
most radical project that has ev-
er been undertaken in industrial
circles in Americ,” says the Enid
Eagle. ‘‘This project, proposed
and championed by the two above
named jointly, is the establish-
ment of a mammoth warehouse
Oddities ot Fnglish.
"Bribery” is a word with a curious
history. In the old Geneva Bible it is
said of the scribes and pharisees that
they “make clean the outer side of the
cup and of the platter, but within they
are full of bribery.” The authorized
version has “extortion, and theie is
no doubt that by “bribery” the Gen-
eva Bibio meant robbery. “Bribery”
probably meant originally a morsel,
a brokec-off piece. !»ut it occurs first
in old French, signifying a piece of
bread given to a beggar. Hence the
Italian “birba,” vagrancy, and the old
French “bribeur,” a beggar or greedy
devourer. “Bribe" developed in two
directions—in the senses of robbery
and of a present. When Falstaff
•peaks of "a bribed buck, ’ he means
not one that has been corrupted, but
one that has been stolen.
A Few Flr«t Aid Hints.
The following first aid advice wa.-
given by Dr. N. B. Gambrill at a rt
cent meeting of railway surgeons:
“Don't put your finger on an oper
wound; don’t put a quid of tobaccc
on a wound, no matter how small it
may be; don't use cobwebs or hornet's
nest to stop bleeding: don’t dose the
patient with whisky, brandy, rum oi
gin; don’t bind or cover a wound with
a handkerchief or rag—if you cannol
get a. first aid packet use clean old
muslin that has been dipped in boilin>;
water for a few minutes j don’t sit s
patient up when he is very pale or
weak; don’t wash a wound, and don’t
remove blood clots.”
These hints are meant for public in
struction for those of the laity who
may have occasion to extend first al#
bi case of accidents.
No lnter«at«d Friend* to Entor Into
Joy* and Sorrows.
If you live In a large city you aro
lost. You are swallowed up by the
ocean of people around you. You
go down Into the deep snd that * the
last of you, except perhaps ajk occa-
•lonsl ’bubble that may come to th*
surface near where you were last
seen, saya the Fremont (O.)
There are bo many people who cant
escape drowning. You can t make
friendships aa you do In a smaller
place, where the Individual lBn t en-
tirely effaced by the mass. Society
Is not what it Is in the smaller place,
where the human element enters in
altogether. In the larger place your
comings and goings are not noted by
your friends even, and never by the
newspapers, unless you are one of the
high financiers or packinghouse
bunch. The births and weddings In
your family are of no more Interest
outside your own flat than are the
wreaths of smoke curling up into the
empyrean; no ’ merry crowd of In-
terested neighbor* with their warm
congratulations. The deaths bring lit-
tle sympathy from the rumbling, rat-
tling world outside; no sorrowing ac-
quaintances who have stood by you
through the long sickness; there la
little or none of that evidence of lov-
ing kindness that comes front neigh-
bors and real friends in a small city
or town, where the dollar mark Is not
written so large and ao indelibly on
everything. It is paradoxical law that
where there are so many people there
are fewer friends, and when you di-
minish the number to a frontier com-
munity where neighbors are miles
apart your friends are ready to take
their lives In their hands for you.
THE ONE TAlNG HE WANTED.
Three Different Kinds of Soup W*p*
Brought to the Guest.
After waiting the usual five or ten
minutes the new arrival was served
with the first dinner course of soup,
runs a story in Judge s Library. Hes-
itating a moment as he glanced at
his plate, the guest said to the wait-
er: "I can’t eat this soup.” “I’ll
bring you another kind, sir,’ said the
waiter as he took it away. Neither
can I eat this soup!” said the guest, a
trifle more emphatically, when the
second plate was served. The waiter,
angrily but silently, for a third time
brought a plate of soup. ‘ I simply
can’t eat this soup!” once more said
the guest in a low, emphatic tone. By
this time the waiter was furious and
called the hotel proprietor, while the
guests at the nearby table looked
over that way with curious glances.
“Really, sir, this is unusual. May I
ask why you can’t eat any of our
soups?" demanded the proprietor. “Be-
cause I have no spoon,” replied the
guest, quietly.

Marked Stationery.
Just a few very exclusive people
have tried ft—the mother-of-pearl
marked stationery. The Idea Is so
extremely luxurious that only the rich
have been able to indulge in this vag-
ary of fashion. It goes with the taste
that demands strawberries out of sea-
son and American Beauties when they
are $15 a dozen. This monogram la
made entirely of exquisite mother-of-
pearl and is so affixed to the top of
the stationery that it cannot be taken
off by the roughest handling. It Is so
attractive that the temptation is very
great to indulge in It, and already
several Philadelphians use the
mother-of-pearl trimmings on their
stationery.—Philadelphia Record.
Ghosts at Sheepshead Bay.
Bayer’s cottage, celebrated in name
and story, is said to be haunted. It
fronts the Slough of Despond at
Sheepshead Bay, and for several years
was occupied by a coterie of Ammon-
ites. One of the fossil mollusks sud-
denly disappeared, and his room was
taken by an ambitious novitiate of the
name of Reggie Carell. in every way
worthy and well qualified. Reggie
was assigned to the room of the de-
parted member, who is a noted
aquatic athlete, stripping like a Mul-
doon of the marines, a man of manly
beauty who used to swim the Helles-
pont between Coney island and Rock-
away Point to flirt with the mermaids
on inlot reefs. The ghosts got after
Reggie the first night. He declares
they toted him upstairs and made
strange noises as the cottage reeled
in the last stage of seismic torment.
The Bay folk are much perturbed.—

Chamois for New Zealand.
An Austrian warship visited New
Zealand last year. Its officers were
handsomely entertained and present-
ed with a variety of local products
and curios. In recognition of this
hospitality the Emperor Francis Jos-
eph has made a gift of eight chamois
to the colony. The transportation of
the animals to the other side of the
globe was a risky undertaking, but it
has been successfully accomplished.
The passage between the tropics was
the crucial stage of the voyage, but
the chamois were carefully shielded
from the heat and emerged without
any loss save a temporary one of ap-
petite. New Zealand has snow-clad
Alpine heights, where they will soon
feel perfectly at home.

An orator and lawyer who lives at
Galesburg, III., wrote a book which his
publishers, in order to give the author
an exact idea of how it would look,
made up into a dummy with the regu-
lar cover, but with blank pages. The
proud author went to Chicago and
called on one of his friends. “George,"
said the author, putting the book open
on the table, “so far as my acquaint-
ance with literature goes, this book
is best suited of any for your men-
