Winter Mornings
"When the frcst is on the fodder,
And a tingle in the air;
When tho punkins have been gath
ered And the corn is shucked with care;
When tho greaBO is in the griddlo
And the batter's in tho crock,
Life's worth living winter mornings
When you riso at G o'clock.
When the cakes are on tho griddle,
And the syrup's In the jug;
When the coffee has been settled,
And the fire is warm and snug;
When you smell tho breakfast ready,
And you hear the "get up" knock,
There's a lot of Joy in living,
Though you rise at 6 o'clock.
When tho buckwheats reach the
table,
Mountain high and piping hot;
When with syrup and with butter
They glide to the proper spot;
When you've eaten all you're able,
Full of "bucks" your wife hais sent,
You can hike off to tho office
Full of grub and sweet content.
Talk to me of pate de foi gras!
Talk of sauces, puddings, pies!
Talk of table d'hote and cuisine
Not from me they'll get- a prize.
Give to me the smoking buckwheats,
Stacked up high and piping hot;
Maple syrup, golden butter:
Ah, that hits the proper spot!
for making an appeal to class; for
appealing to prejudice and selfish
ness. Tho strenuous one's denunciations
were emphatically backed up by cer
tain transportation managers, who
thought such a course of action high
ly unpatriotic.
Moro recently tho railway em
ployes organized an association to
uudertako tho ending of the agitation
in favor of lower rates, claiming that
lower freight rates means lower
wages, and insisting that tho rail
roads be allowed to raise rates in
order to bo able to increase wages.
Tho same strenuous ono who de
nounced Mr. Debs is congratulating
tho railway employes upon their de
termination to "ielp business." And
the same railway managers who are
sure that the Debs policy would be
llttlo short of treason aro equally
sure that the action of their employes
Is patriotic to a high degree.
All of which is calculated to be
extremely puzzling to the ordinary
individual who is trying his best to
get right on these great questions of
public policy.
Getting Mixed
A year or so ago Mr. Debs was. se
verely criticised because he advocat
ed the policy of men voting as their
class consciousness dictated. In
other words he advocated that men
should vote for their own interests.
Immediately thereafter a certain
strenuous one denounced Mr. Debs
Tho Aftermath
"Hip, hip, hurrah!
"'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!!
"Hooray! Hurro!!"
Wo listened to tho excited gentle
man expressing himself as above,
wondering all the while what caused
such an exhibition. Finally we mus
tered up enough courage to approach
him and ask for an explanation.
"Just won the greatest political
victory in history!" shouted tho ex
cited gentleman.
"Victory for what?" wo inquired.
"Victory for the people!" replied
our strange friend.
"Will you kindly oxplain?" wo
asked. "How have tho people profit-
Quick Money for Land Agents
Wo want responsible land agents in every county to sell first-class
farms to local buyers.
We want reliable men to represent us in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri, Minnesota and South Dakota for the best land proposition
in the United States.
We have a large number of choice Eastern Oklahoma farms for
sale, equal in every respect to high-priced land in older states now
selling for $100 to $150 per aero.
These farms aro so good, the prices yet so low, and the terms so
easy, that quick sales and liberal commissions are assured to agents
who can sell a gilt-edged proposition.
A recent act of congress removed all restrictions from our lands In
Eastern Oklahoma, and it Is the choicest farming land located in tho
rain and corn belt ever, offered to the public. We prove by results
that these farms are equal if not better in producing capacity than
the high-priced farm lands in the older states, and they can yet be
purchased at from one-fourth to one-third their price.
Our lands aro now producing successfully corn, wheat, oats, cotton,
alfalfa and clover, and aro unsurpassed for fruit and vegetables. The
annual rainfall is 40 inches, and tho climate is tho best in the United
States outside of California. Located within easy shipping distance of
great market centers.
Abstracts furnished and titles guaranteed to bo perfect. Our propo
sition is without doubt tho most attractive to buyers of anything on
the market, and will bear the fullest Investigation. If you wish to
connect yourself with a first-class proposition you must act at once.
This opportunity will not be open long. Oklahoma is the fastest grow
ing state in tho union, and the prices of farm lands will double
within the next few years.
Will you represent us in your community? We offer the best op
portunity today to the land seller, to the investor, or to tho buyer, to
make money quickly. Write us today for full particulars, and send
ns references. Address.

ted by tho result of which you
speak?"
"Why, don't you soo wo have
again endorsed tho grand old party
that has stood by tho interests of tho
people for all theso years, given us
bountiful crops, boundless prosper
ity and an equal distribution of sun
shino and rain."
"Anything else?" wo inquired.
"Sure thing! Haven't wo again
endorsed the beneficent tariff? And
haven't wo endorsed our foreign pol
icy? And haven't wo endorsed tho
policy of conservation? What
haven't wo endorsed?"
"How has tho tariff benefited
you?" wo inquired.
"Why, it say, what aro you driv
ing at, anyhow?"
"And what Is tho foreign policy
that wo havo Just endorsed?"
"Why, It means that wo will In
sist on O, come off, you don't mean
to tell mo you don't know what our
glorious foreign policy Is?"
"No, not exactly," I replied. "But
toll mo about this groat policy of
conservation that you mentioned."
"Conservation means that conser
vation is tho best mothod of conserv
ing our O, you aro ono of thoso dad
blamed anarchists that can't see any
thing good In anything that happens
unless it happens your way. I ain't
got any more time to waste with you.
I've got to help celebrate our glor
ious political victory."
"Whoop-eo!
"Hooray!

Short Arm Jabs
Tho reverend gentleman so badly
wanted by tho government for pro
moting a "get rich quick" scheme is
said to havo used an endorsement
given him by Richard Achilles Bal
llnger. It strikes us that the man
who could got money from tho com
mon peoplo on that kind of an en
dorsement certainly earned it.
Perhaps thoso Cincinnati census
enumerators failed to count "Boss"
Cox as often as his political influ
ence warrants.
Tho tariff on agricultural products
was not seriously disturbed by the
Paync-Aldrlch law, but perhaps you
have noted tho fact that prices of
farm products havo seriously depre
ciated since the law went into effect.
Mr. Roosevelt objects because Mr.
Dix attacked him after he had loft
tho state. Sounds funny, coming
from a man who boasted of having
shot a fleeing foe in tho back.
If Judge Parker were in earnest
about going on the trail of Roosevelt
ho would havo little trouble in find
ing tho trail. Omaha Bee.
Wouldn't it be easier to follow the
Strenuous Ono by sound.
The National Nut Growers' Asso
ciation has just finished a convention
In Florida. If all the "nutty" people
of tho country were thero It was
surely a monster convention.
A lot of once can lldates aro this
day blaming their political emiiH-
brators.
A gun has been Invented that will
bring down airships. That's all
right, but what is most needed Is
something that will keep airships up.
Joke
Put away the pretty crutches,
And tho Jug of iodine;
Ditch the first aid to tho Injured
And tho compress for tho spine.
Houso tho ambulance and stretches,
Spill tho bag of waterwarmed
We've been told the game of football
Is a sport that's been "reformed."
