Farmers and Breeders Day, Octo-
ber 5, at the State Fair promiaea to be
one of the moat Instructive to the agri-
cultural interests of Oklahoma, since
the program will be full of things of
vital interest to that class. Of spec-
ial Importance will be the addresses of
B. F. Yoakum, chairman of the execu-
tive board of the Rock Island-Frisco
system, and C. 8. Barreit of Union City,
Georgia, president of the National
Farmers’ Union, who will speak be-
fore the morning session of the Na-
tional Good Roads Convention on the
second day of its three day meeting
at the State Fair, Here are the dates
to remember:
Farmers and Breeders Day, Oct 6.
Oklahoma Improved Stock Breeders
Convention, Oct. 5.
National Good Roads Convention,
Oct. 4, 5 and 6.
State Fair Dates, Sept. 27 to Oct. 9.
Farmers and all good roads enthus-
iasts should make a special effort to
visit the fair on Farmers and Breeders
Day, as good roads movements of vital
Importance to the state will be started.
Delegates will come from nearly every
state in the Union, and the day prom-
ises to be the largest in point of at-
tendance at the State Fair. The gov-
ernor of Michigan has named 192 dele-
gates.
The big meeting of October 5 will
be held in the new $40,000 livestock par
villon, with a seating capacity of 4,000
people, where the speakers can be
sure of being heard. Arthur O. Jack
son, Chicago, president of the na-
tional association, will preside at all
meetings opening October 4 and clos-
ing Ootober 6.
The national convention was held
last year at Topeka, Kan., and the
tendency for the last few years has
been to hold the annual meetings in
live cities of the west where good
roads agitation Is needed the most.
Good roads boosting has become a
live subject with the people of Okla-
homa and enthusiasts are expected to
take advantage of what experts are
saying on the subject
There will be much to see at the fair
that is worth while. Entries in
all departments are such at this date
that the biggest fair in the history of
the state can be forecasted with cer-
tainty. The Night Horse Show in the
new livestock pavilion from October 3
to 7 will be a winner, a large number
of fancy horses having been entered
in both light and heavy classes. Vau-
deville features and band concerts will
fill in the waits between horse ex-
hibits. For particulars write I. 8. Ma-
han, secretary, Oklahoma City.
SENSE OF HUMOR
EVEN AT.THE END
The Late Humorist, 0.
Henry, Met Death
With a Jest
" ‘Now,’ said the doctor, ‘I am going
to show you the effect of alcohol upon
your circulation.’ I think it was ‘cir-
culation’ he said; it may have been
’advertising.”’ This is one of the
opening paragraphs in the very last
story that O. Henry wrote. He com-
pleted it only a few days before his
death and he got the material from
his experiences in seeking relief from
the very illness that was fatal to him.
Like the very last line of one of his
deep, whimsical stories, were the last
conscious words he said. It was dark
on Sunday morning, and he knew that
he was going. “Turn on the lights, doo-
tor,’’ he said, and smiled. “I’m afraid
to go home in the dark.”
The last volume of stories from his
pen were gone over by him not a
month before his 'death. They will be
published next fall under the title of
"Whirligigs." In less than ten years
this man became unquestionably the
most popular and, according to known
critics, the best short-Btory writer In
America. He left behind him ten vol-
umes, a permanent contribution to the
native literature of this country.
Oatmeal Cookies Help.—Almost ev-
ery one Is fond of oatmeal cookies,
but there Is one thing disliked by
many, that Is the uncooked taste that
the oatmeal has If not ground. 1 have
learned by experience that by using
the coarsest knife on your food chop-
per and grinding the oatmeal through
It Improves the cookies very much, j
This does not pulverize the oatmeal. ;
but makes the grains finer and dis-
tributes the flavor more evenly, and
they never have that uncooked taste.
Below is my favorite recipe: One cup
shortening, half lard and half butter;
one large cupful C sugar creamed with
butter, two eggs well beaten, nine
tablespoonfuls sour milk, one scaut
teaspoonful soda dissolved In milk,
one teaBpoonful cinnamon, half tea-
spoonful nutmeg, pinch of salt; one-
half cupful chopped nut meats; one
cupful chopped raisins, one small tea-
spoonful baking powder sifted with
two cups flour. Add one cup ground
oatmeal last I bake these in muffin
tins, but can be baked as drop cookies
if preferred.
Hot Water Cake.—Four eggs, sep-
arate them, beat yolks light, gradually
stirring in two cupfuls of granulated
sugar. Beat well together, add one
cupful of boiling water, two cupfuls of
flour, one teaspoonful of baking pow-
der. Beat whites to a froth and flavor.
This makes a good, large, three-layer
cake. Bake slowly.
Orange Cake.—One cup sugar, three
tablespoonfuls butter, two eggs, half
cup orange juice, grated rind of one
orange, one and one-half cups flour,
one and one-half teaspoonfuls baking
powder. Cream butter, add sugar,
beat; add eggs unbeatetn; beat thor-!
oughly; add orange juice, then the
flour sifted with the baking powder, j
Bake in gem pans and roll in powder-!
ed sugar while warm.
Kisses.—The secret of good kisses
lies in the beating. Beat the whites
of two eggs to a stiff froth, then add
two cupfuls of granulated sugar and
one teaspoonful of vinegar. Beat well
for twenty minutes. Turn your bak-
ing pan upside down and cover with
oiled paper. Drop the mixture in tea-
spoonfuls on the pan. In baking they
swell quite a bit. Do not turn the light
on the oven until they are in. Then
bake slowly 25 minutes. This quan-
tity makes two dozen. i
PROMISED A LIVELY TIME
Mark Twain’s Outline of Edltorla
Policy He Had Mads Up Hla
Mind to Adopt.
Mark Twain took the editorial chair
on the Buffalo Expresa In August,
1869, and this is the paragraph In
which he made the readers acquaint-
ed with his new responsibility:
only wish to assure parties having a
friendly Interest In the prosperity o:1
this journal that I am not going to
Hurt the paper deliberately and inten-
tionally at any time. I am not going
to Introduce any startling reform or In
any way attempt to make trouble. I
am simply going to do my plain, un-
pretending duty—when I cannot get
out of it. I shall work diligently and
honestly and faithfully at all times and
upon all occasions—when privation
and want shall compel me to do so.
In writing I shall confine myself to the
truth, except when it Is attende 1 with
inconvenience. I shall wltherlngly re-
buke all forms of crime and miscon-
duct, except when committed by the
party Inhabiting my own vest. I shall
not make use of slang or vulgarity
upon any occasion or In any circum-
stances and shall never use profanity
except in discussing house rent and
taxes. Indeed, upon second thought,
I will not even then, for It is inelegant,
un-Christian and degrading. I shall
not often meddle with politics, be-
cause we have a political editor who Is
already excellent and only needs a
term in the penitentiary to be perfect.
I shall not write any poetry unless I
conceive a spite against the subscri-
bers.
TINY BABY’S PITIFUL CASE
In the Presence of Death
A peculiar importance attaches to
the words of a dying man, for then all
self-consciousness drops away and the
innermost feelings are laid bare; there
is no further need for the conceal-
ment of what a man may be Justly
proud, and the ideal of a life-time, hid-
den away Just because it was so
sacred, so entirely the man’s own self,
is brought unreservedly to the light of
day.
Real Man
There are few real pleasures in this
life. One of the greatest is to meet
a really sensible man, after days and
days of meeting weak people with
weak opinions and a disposition to be
unfair.—Atchison Globe.
True Road to Happiness
Whenever unselfish love Is the main-
spring of men’s actions; wherever hap-
piness is placed not on what we can
get for ourselves, but on what we can
impart to othejgj wherever we place
our satisfaction in gratifying our fa-
thers and mothers, our brothers and
sisters, our wives and children, our
neighbors and friends, we are sure
to attain all the happiness which the
world can bestow.
Mind’s Power Over Body
The mind has power to keep the
body strong and healthy, to renew
life, and to preserve It from decay to
a far greater extent than we are apt
to think.
Look for the Good Points
If you find yourself thinking more
of the bad points of your friends and
relatives than of their good ones, just
stop a moment and ask yourself how
you would like people to get into a
habit of doing the same with you?
Then start again right away and do
better next time. Everybody has good
points—try to see them.—Home Chat
Bushido
Bushido, in a word, is the popular
literature of the mikado’s realm. It
includes country theatricals, tales of
story tellers and musical compositions.
It is not only a literature; it is an
idea and an ideal. The word means
loyalty, fidelity, devotion and it may
be expressed in dozens of different
ways.
Art in the Kitchen
After much meditation and experi-
ence, I have divined that it takes as
much sense and refinement and talent
to cook a dinner, wash and wipe a
dish, make a bed and dust a room as
goes to the writing of a novel or
shining 1* high society.—Rose Terry
beliefs About Lightning
There is a popular tradition that
lightning will not kill any one who is
asleep. According to one school, the
splinters of a tree struck by light-
ning are an Infallible specific for the
toothache. An amusing superstition
used to be cherished by the boys of
a Yorkshire (Eng.) village, who be-
lieved that if they mentioned the light*
ning immediately after a flash the
seat of their trousers would be torn
out. No boy could be Induced to make
the experiment
Veal In New Style.
Get two pounds of the breast even
if there is to be no company, for it
can be eaten cold the next day. Roll
out the long narrow piece and fill It
with a stuffing of dry, stale white
bread, and chopped pimentos seasoned
with cayenne and salt. Mix the mass
together with olive oil, put in a raw
beaten egg and lay the dressing on
the veal, shaping this into a roll.
Skewer or tie with cords and dredge
with flour, pouring over a little olive
oil to start the roasting if there is lit-
tle fat.
This must be thoroughly done to be
perfect, and when it is served the
carver cuts a round slice, putting the
stuffing beside it and covering the
two with the gravy.
Recognized the Movement
It was moving day, and the family
was getting settled down in their new
home. Little Meribah, aged three, aft-
er watching her father put down the
parlor carpet, went to him and said:
“Papa, won’t you give me the ham-
mer when you get through with it,
so’s I can spank some nails, too?”—
Exchange.
Had to Have His Cigar
There have been many devotees of
the cold cigar. Liszt was one. Mas-
senet says that the abbe could, not
play the piano unless he had a cigar
in his mouth. But he did not likht it
or smoke it; he used to eat it He
would sit down to the Instrument with
a big cigar between his teeth and
keep munching all the time he played.
When the cigar was eaten up the per-
formance closed.
Apple Dessert.
Take a large apple cut in half, not
lengthwise. Remove the core and all
the Inside of the apple, leaving just
the shell thick enough to serve the
salad in. Slice some apple3 very thin,
cut dates in small pieces and break
the nut meats. Mix all together am
fill the apple shell with this saiad.
Place on a dessert dish, cover the top
with whipped cream and sprinkle with
ground nuts. Put a walnut meat in
the center.
“Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. It was aw-
ful to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagine! *±'\e doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors’ remedies but all
failed.
“Then we decided to try Cuticura
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. Un-
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
| and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
l a new skin soon appeared. We also
! gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer-
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, 7 St. John's Place, Ridgewood
Heights, N.Y., Apr. 30 and May 4,’09."
Remarkable Young Lady.
From a feuilleton: “Her voice was
low and soft; but once again, as Janet
Fenn withdrew from the room and
closed the door after her, the fiendish
gleam came into her odorless eyes.”
If we hear any more of Janet we
will let you know.—Punch.
