There, now, what a relief. Of course, Ioss Hammond, with aVhole armful of sweet, babies, and most of our esteemed contemporar ies, 03tcepting Adam Breed and other bachelor editors, well understand the impulse which impels us to pro claim to tho world the advent of our heavenly guest. Our first inclination is to indulge in poetry, but we have no desire to take from Blxby, Maupin and James Whitcomb Riley the laurels of a life work and retire them in old age to comparative obscurity. Then, we resolved to write a pon derous dissertation on "miracles" but the nurse says they are mighty common things. We then essayed a minute description of the surpass ing charms of the seraphic one, but found the opinion of others so at variance with ours as to lose the inspiration. Therefore we are limit ed to the simple statement that it was 'the most thrilling scoop ever achieved in our newspaper experi ence. It may not have attracted so much attention or inspired vanity as some of the great gobs of ink which have surmounted our signa ture in the World-Herald while in the callow of our youth, but the sen sation is far more genuine and last ing, and nobody got mad about it either. But when it comes to a thing of beauty and a joy forever, nothing can compare to a baby, and our baby is certainly the dearest and most ange hush, there now, you squal ling tempest of colic, papa Is coming with a bier .stick.

Deep seated In tho American charactor is a love of fair play, and an injury vJaited on Oklahoma might be resented in some other communities where republican fences, are not so secure as they wero. And it is possible that is what will fetch Oklahoma into the sistorhood in time to vote at tho election of 1908.

Into this reckless but verdant community there came the smooth-tongued representative of a wild west show, who hjred several riders at a nigh salary to do a hair raising act, the chief feature be ing that they should appear to be thrown from their hores and dragged by the foot. After they had practiced in a coral for awhile, one, of them loosened himself, and, rising, from the dirt, dishevelled and dazed, Inquired: "Hay, mister, ain't this ruther dangerous? We mighfgit killed." "That's all right," chirped the show s representative "Your Balary will go same."

FAIR PLAY FOR OKLAHOMA Politics is uncertain, but It is rea-j sonably sure that Oklalio'ma will bo. a dento'crati'd state with seven votes in the college, if admitted in time to vote in the eledtloh of next yeari Those seven votes may decide the thing, as did he thfe'e' votfesof Colo rado thirty-twp yea W earlier.
