That the price of oil will soon go
to 75 cents seems now a certainty.
Drilling has been resumed in the
Rock Creek oil field near Chickasha.
Breaking of ground for spring seed-
ing is under way in several counties.
Miss E. M. Gaye, aged 70, who was
a member of the family of Governor
Robinson .first governor of Kansas,
died at Chickasha last week.
Logan county farmers declare their
willingness to build good roads, donat-
ing time and teams, but are against
a bond issue for the purpose.
Work is under way on the Boggy
creek bridge three miles below So-
per. The completion of this bridge

As the result of her clothing catch-
ing fire from an open grate recently
Mrs. Don Abernatliy, residing twelve
miles east of Chickasha, is in a criti-
cal condition. She was sitting near
a stove and crooning over her two-
months'-old babe in a baby carriage,

head before she became aware of her
danger.
W. L. Ledbetter, who gave his oc-
cupation as that of a farmer in Beaver
county recently filed a voluntary pe-
tition in bankrupcy in the federal
court at Guthrie. His total amount
of debts were placed at $8,325. His
assests at $50, which included cloth-
ing and household furniture. It
seems that Ledbetter was formerly a
merchant in Appanoose county, Iowa,
most of the indebtedness was incured
in 1897.
SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE
Artist Did His Bast, but Somehow
Managing Editor Would Not
Ba Satisfied.
An artist was drawing a cartoon
wherein the flag of our nation played
a large part. He drew the flag, first
time, with five stars In the bluo field
and took It to the managing editor,
who promptly let out a yelp.
"Wadye think this country la," said
the managing editor, "a truBt?"
"What's the trouble?" asked the art-
ist.
"Trouble," bellowed the managing
editor, "why, we need more stars,
stars, stars!"
So the artist brought the picture
back and this time he had 117 stars In
It by actual count.
The magaglng editor felt hla head
and choked slightly.
"What do you think you're draw-
ing?" he asked as last.
"You're the hardest man to please
I ever met in my life," said the artist
indignantly; "first it's too few and
then It's too many. How many stars
do you want, anyway?"
Let love make you strong, pure, se-
vere. Let it prevent your sacrificing
the least portion of your soul's life.—

Concentration rates on broom corn
have been granted by the Santa Fe
railroad to Enid upon a showing made
by W. H Scarff. secretary of the cham-
ber of commerce. Such rates have
been in effect on the Frisco and
Rock Island for some time, but these
roads do not reach the big broom corn
growing section of this state and west-
ern Kansas reached by the Santa Fe,
and the broom corn growers of that
City have been handicapped by refusal
of the Santa Fe heretofore to grant the
rate. Enid ia near the best broom
corn raising sections of the entire
country. Not less than alx of Enid's
ten railroad lines penetrate the broom

Kaiser as Writer.
The German emperor, had he been
born a commoner and chosen news-
paper work as a profession, would
without doubt have become one of
the most famous journalists of the
day. He has written a great deal
which has never seen the light, but
which will doubtless be published in
the future. Recently the emperor as-
sisted in the preparation of an article
entitled "How the Kaiser Works," for
the Strand Magazine, the proof sheets
which he read and corrected himself.
Skippers of Thaac Veaaela Do Not
Care What Cargo May Be—Will
Carry Anything from Fruit to
Arms for Revolutionists.
New York.—The "hobo" of the sea
Is no relation to the Weary Willie of
the land, and although the old song
of "Wherever there's freight, that's
where the tramp goes" applies, In a
measure, to the pilgrim who steals hla
way on the cargo carriers of the steel
rail, It was penned by some one who
had In mind the thousands of sturdy
steam craft that are known on the
aeven seas as tramps.
All vessels that do not ply on regu-
lar routes may be said to be tramps,
and, while tramping may be looked
upon with disfavor by those who live
ashore, those afloat and the shipping
Interests hold the tramp ship In high
favor. A manufacturer gets a large
order to deliver, say, at Tamplco,
Mexico. There are no regular freight
ships plying from his nearest coast
port. Whta does he do? He tele-
graphs or telephones to a ship broker
at that port, and the agent charters a
tramp steamer of the required cargo
capacity.
The skipper of the tramp Is the
man with whom to talk. He does not
care what the cargo may be—fruit,
' oil in case, wheat, lumber, ties, dyna-
mite or sinews of war for a revolu-
; tionary party in any part of the world
j —just so the price is in keeping with
the risk and the time required,
i Among the calculations of the pro-
posed revolution that certain dissatis-
fied patriots may be contemplating the
question of transportation of their
"army" and stores Is a minor one, for
the members of the junta know that
for the price a tramp steamer may be
chartered. The risk to the owner?
Oh, that's nothing If the price is right.
During the Russo-Japanese war it
was common to read of both the Japs
and Russians destroying steamers
found to be carrying contraband. The
owners of the steamers were satisfied,
for the men who chartered the ves-
sels had paid enough freight money
to justify the loss. As for the skip-
per and crew, if they escaped with
their lives to enjoy their portion of
the money paid, well and good. If
they went down, well, is it not all in
the business?
The business of tramping is as old
as ships, but it was developed to a high

It was a lively affair with sepulchral

midst of It something dealt Mr. Cross
a vicious whack on the nose and he
called for lights in a tone not to be
disobeyed. With the light the circle
as disclosed was all natural and hu-
man again. The most human member
of It was Mr. Cross, with a bloody
nose, spoiling for a fight and all the
"madder" because he did not know
who® to fight.
"Who did that?" he demanded of
the medium.
The medium said the gay spirit was
that of St. Peter.
But even this explanation did not
satisfy Mr. Cross.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
111, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
"I am 54 years old," she says, "have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from Indigestion and
Insomnia. Life was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon me that I was regularly 'sick in
bed' for several weeks each time.
"I was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, but
I am thankfnl that I found out the
truth.
"Then I determined to use Postum
exclusively—for a week at first—for I
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length of time. I made
the Poetum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
"Seeing the good that my short ex-
periment had accomplished, I resolved
to continue the uae of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. Thia I did for
nine montha, finding, daily, increased |
cause for gratification at my steadily
Improving health. My indigestion grad-
ually left me, my Bleep returned, I
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color ,
changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became a blessing.
"Then I thought I would try coffee
again, and did so for a few weeks. The
punishment for deserting my good j
friend. Postum, was a return of my old -
troubles.

degree by the Yankee skippers of the
early days of this country. In those
days a young man returned from a
voyage with a rating of second or first
mate and a knowledge of navigation.
He wanted a vessel of his own; so he
organized a company on a stock basis.
With the ship in commission the
captain's real work began, and when
he slipped his moorings for a voyage
he was going tramping, although he
called it "trading." In his quest for
cargoes he did not bother where he
might have to go, his only stipulation
being that he should have a return
freight or a monetary consideration.
Those were the days when trading
was not so prosaic as today, for the
doughty skippers of sailing craft took
all kinds of chances, especially those
who went over on the African coast,
swapping beads, mirrors, calico,
knives and other glmcracks for ivory.
Many of those skippers were not
averse to "blackbirding," as running
slaves was called, and many a cargo
of blacks was run to the states, even
after the British government started
In to break up slave trading.
It is to the tramp steamer that Eng-
land owes her position aa the foremost
maritime power. The crown has en-
couraged the building of liners and
tramps by the giving of subsidy. In
other words, the crown ia a part own-
er. but only in time of war does the
crown assert Its rights. Then these
tramps must respond, to be used aa
troop transports, as many were dur-
ing the Boer war.

mand a good-salary?"

mands it."

thus keep ourselves loyal to truth.—
