answers your malicious insinuations about
a repudiated arreement by which he got his
second nomination. Re-ad that part of his
public statement with the sentence I have
underscored here:
"With reference to the compart which

'my vote In conjunction with the county
'treasurer and county clerk to fill such
'vacancy without consulting with Frank
E. Moores, Edward Rosewater and John
'C. Wharton, so as to give that element
of the party an opportunity to be beard

Story of the Wild Trooper tress Ok
lahoaaa, aad How It
Started.
A few day. ago dispatches announced
the arrival at West Point, N. T., of a
tired and travel stained trooper, the first
of a dosen said to have started from soma
army poet in Oklahoma on a trial of
speed and endurance of man and horse. A
distance ot 2,000 miles, so the story went,
was covered in thirty-nine days. Eo much
reliance was placed on tha story that sev
eral newspapers discussed It seriously in
the editorial columns, pronouncing It an
achievement surpassing long distance
records of foreign cavalrymen.
The true inwardness of the story 1. re
lated by the New Tork Bun as follows:
The story got to West Point not only in
the New Tork newspapers, but by word of
mouth from several nearby places, at all of

Its hero.
A cavalryman did come cantering Into
camp, however, with a tale of mining the
boat at Garrisons the night before and of
having had to pass the night outside of the
barracks. This cavalryman, like the hero
of the tale, was travel stained. He was
also rather wear'. A hard ride the day
before on an errand for an officer, followed

When questioned, however, this cavalry
man denied that he had spent the night ln

The garrison did not know what to make
of the story when they first heard it No
Information had come from Washington or
eewhere that such a rider was to be ex
pected, but every one was prepared to
arrange a cordial, if Impromptu, program
of greeting for him. That was before tbe
cavalryman arrived. When tbe cavalry
man, who was Private Equl. of the de

Uncertain Rubbers
A rubber boot or shoe with a
hole in it is worse than no rubber
at all; pumps the water in with
every step, and keeps it in. ,
The best rubber in the world
will wear out; the hole will come
sooner or later, and when it
comes nothing will mend it but a
new pair.
You want it to be as much
later as possible; you want your
rubber-shoe money to go, as far
. as it can. There is a way to
make it go farther than usual
without extra cdst.
Just say to your dealer that
v you want 'Selz Royal Blue
Rubbers; say it emphatically;
and try another dealer if you
don't get them there. You may
have to take what you can get;
but you'd better write to us if you
can't get ours. Selz Rubbers are
worth the trouble.
