“No, I shan’t ask her to marry me.
She can cook, darn socks, and doesn’t
like the pictures. There must be
something wrong with her family.’’
-—From Kasper, Stockholm.
Izaak Walton is a name held in
sweet remembrance by thousands who
love the outdoor life, and he is so
remembered by his book, “The Com-
pleat Angler, or Contemplative Man’s
Recreation.’’ Although angling, or
fishing is the subject, the writer
goes beyond it and gives expression
to many fine thoughts respecting
streams and fields and flowers. It
is the work of a kind and gentle soul
alive to the beauties of nature.

Marvin McCarty, son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. K. McCarty of Fletcher,
Olkahoma, was thrown from a horse
Thursday, August 11th, and died
fom the effects of the fall last Satur-
day. He was visiting friends near
Illinois Bend when the accident oc-
cured and was taken to Lee Daven-
port’s home, where everything possi-
ble was done, buthe never recovered
consciousness before death cmae nine
days later.
The funeral and burial was held
at Illinois Bend Sunday.
It seems that the phrase “water
wagon" started from the large tank-
ed wagons of the northwest, used in
the harvesting season to supply
water for the steam engine which
runs the threshing machine. No one
is more in need of water to drink
than laborers of the wheat fields,
working under the scorching sun.
The workers were prone to hop up
on the water wagon to quench their
thirst every time the wagon came in.
This was obtained from a keg of
water kept submerged in the tank
to keep it cool.
Don’t be “pennywise" and “spice foolish."
Your spices are to FLAVOR the fruits which top
off your dinner. Our spices will give a delightful odor
to the fruits you put up and leave a pleasant, lingering
taste when you eat them.
We have no adulterated groceries of any kind in
our store. It is a CRIME to sell impure food.

cona, Texas, is now in session with
large crowds and great amusements.

Death,’’ being tied twenty feet be-
hind a car in a regular straight
jacket and dragged down the street
at from twenty to fifty miles per
hour while he makes his escape, and
being placed in a regulaion straight
jacket and hung from his feet forty
feet ip the air from which he makes
his ecsape. He freed himself frrom
the mid-air suspension with his head

Among the speakers were Sterling

issues of the day settled by the ten
commandments and Christ’s sermon
on the mount.
Hon. Earl B. Mayfield, present

A seventeen year old boy once
successfully “faked” a Shakespeare
play. He was William H. Ireland,
who lived in London about a century
ago. Young Ireland tore the fly
leaves from old books, concocted an
ink that looked faded, and forged
Shakespeare’s signature to a paly
that he wrote to fool his father. The
play was actually presented by the
great actor, Kemble, and would have
continued on its own merits had not
the tragedian “horsed” the lines,
which he believed bogus. Boswell,
Johnson’s biographer, was one of
the literary men that "fell for” the
fraud.
