Mr Speaker and Gentlemen of the

It comes to amending the
constitution.
Por the amendment.
YES.
Against the amendment.
NO.
Now, dear reader, cast your
optics upon th - above cunn-
ingly arranged ballot and see if
you think it would be possible
to vote against an amendment
or any thing else by marking
either square in the above ue-
vice. This bn!lot was prepared
by C C. Jones, republican
leader in the house of repre-
sentatives, when the question
of amending the corporation
and prohibition laws was be-
fore tliat body. Pleat observe
If the voter votes in the first
square, he votes for the
amendment. If he votes in the
second square, which reads,
.Against the amendment. No,"
he votes for the same thing.

A few days ago the tele-
graph carried a story of « di-
vorce petition being filed in
an Oklahoma City. Divorce pe-
titions are common in Oklaho-
ma, as they are in all of the
other states. This one was
more of a news Item for the
reason that the parties in in-
terest were well known over
the state, if not prominent In
the best society circles.
Pifteen years ago this man
and woman were married In a
* Missouri town. He was poor
+ and she was like wise poor.
4* They began life together, each
♦ apparently bearing a just
4* share of the burdens of life.
* The business prospered and
4' was made larger and the fur-
4* nishings handsomer and more
4* In keeping with modern times.
4* A home was purchased and
4* paid for and elegantly furnish-
4* ed. After awhile other busi-
4* nesses in the same line were
4* added in other cities and all
4* under the same management.
♦ The furnishing* were aa fine
4* as money could# buy. The
4* places in the various cities
4* wore popular and all made
4« money.
4 Then the "affinity" came In-
4* to the life of tne man. Is it
4- possible that the handsome
* surroundings of the places o!
♦ business, the el igant furnish-
4- Ings cf the home, caused the
4* man to long for a companion
* more In keeping with bis prc-
❖ sent position? Is lt possible
that as old furniture was
exchanged for new, as old
fixtures were torn away and
new and modern ones placed
in the old positions, that the
little wife, the bearer of bis
children, now faded and pre-
maturely old, became a bur-
den to him and he longed for
one younger and fresher and
more stylish? These are ques-
tions?
The writer has seen the "af-
finity" many times, both in
the other town and In this.
She Is a woman of surpassing
beauty. Of fine form and
graceful figure and of com-
manding presence, she would
attract attention and comment
at any world's show of beauti-
ful women.
But is this enough?
Suppose that the decree of
divorce is granted and they be-
come legally husband and wife.
What then will be tne result? «
