TIMES OF MAY 2 1918. "I Am Going To Live To Be 150 Years Old" -SARAH BARNHARDT "THE DIVINE By McGione Gibson. "Oh! This is not good-bye! Indeed not! Why, I am just 8 young woman yet! I expect to live to be fully 150 years old!" Ag she came off the stage Sarah Bernhardt--the divine, the only Sarah -fairly sprang to meet me. Not even her long, season in American vaudeville, trying as it has been, seems to have sapped much of her marvelous vitality. The long clinging white robes which Bernhardt wears, when she impersonates "Camille," swept and swirled around her feet.

About her neck was a rope of pearls and they caught eyes to her throat bared by her decollette gown--it seemed in color texture to be that of woman of thirty! Bernhardt was smiling as she took my hands in hers--I had been holding 'them out to say. "good bye," for thought this was surely a "farewell" -surely at least the last time I WAS to see her on American soll, I could not see that Bernhardt looked any older than two years ago or in fact ten years ago, Her eyes, indeed, were no more -like or set than they were the first time I met her, twenty years ago! Bernhardt's eyes and mouth have always been the same at war with each other. Her lips are 88 softly closed and tremuloug as those of a girl and her smile has the wistful sweetness of virgin youth. Her eyes, on the contrary, are those always of a woman who "knows" and who, knowing, is still full of the joy of living and the real enthusiasm of one who realizes what NE" AS "CAMILLE." it is to do battle and win; who acknowledges no defeat and asks no quarter. "How do you do it?" I exclaimed as always do when I see her.

"I have plans in my brain that will take me until I am 150 years to carry and am just, as enthusiastic over that far distant plan that will probably not mature until I am nearing my tury-and-a-half mark as am the one which will be probably carried out tomorrow. "There is no pleasure in living after you have lost your enthusiasm. But there 19 always SO MUCH TO LEARN; SO MUCH TO TO THINK ABOUT; MUCH TO DO! "Growing old is not so much in the hardening of the arteries as it is in the hardening of the mind and tomporament. "Koop your mind plastio to colve now impressions and your heart full of sympathies and you cannot grow old -ever!" I wished as I watched the face of Bernhardt, while she spoke with her eyes 80 full of knowledge and her mouth so anxious and ready to receive, that every tired and discouragwoman could meet her face to face. She is an inspiration, Out of her abundant vitality she always gives the feeling that possibly life might be as good to you as it has been to her provided you had the courage to meet it in the same spirit she has and does.

Sarah Bernhardt is truly the most wonderful woman of her time and her time is not yet come, ALL OF IT! BRONOUGH AND REED WERE BOUND OVER Hugo, May Bronaugh and Ed L. Reed the two Hugo real estate dealers who were arrested on Wednesday on information charging them with attempting to poison Ellis Wood, a full blood Choctaw Indian, waived examination In Justice Oakes court here today and were bound over to the district court in the sum of $2,000 each.

SUES TRACTION CO.

FOR $2500 The story of a fatal street car cident was retold in the district court today when John McLin brought suit to recover damages in the sum of $8,500 from the Muskogee Electric Traotion company for the death of William Moldn ten-year-old boy who was run over by.a Reeves addition car on April 7. The accident occurred at Iola street and the boy was so horribly mangled he died three days later.

It is my custom to divide my in this manner when traveling with large sum.

I had always figured in case of robbery that I would surrenler the purse containing the smaller gum. When the robber shook me and demanded my money I was for an instant confused and only about half awake. During this interval I moved the pillow and shoved back the covers exposing the purge containing, the larger amount. Realizing what I had done, I tried to hide the purse in the bed clothes, but the robber was too quick for me. 'What wag he asked the porter, 'a pocket book' was the answer.

"Reach in and the robber commanded and despite my efforts to prevent it the porter grabbed the purse and handed it to the robber." "Ag he turned away I got my pistol from under the pollow and began shooting at him. He returned the fire and disabled me. "He failed, however, to get a diamond valued at $2,000 and seven twenty dollar gold which were in a pocket of my trousers." The robbery of the Joplin miner was the primary object of the giant bandit according to the police theory. Aocording a telegram sent the police today from Grand View, by C. G.

Gibson, conductor of the train the total amount obtained was $1,100 In money and a diamond. Of this amount Mr. Short lost W. J. Scafer, Neck Olty, $65, and A.

The court deolded that while the recordy showed that Judge Turner had Instructed Judge Huston to hold court in Sapulpa In January, 1918, this, on its WaS a harmless mistake a8 the order of the presiding judge of the supreme court was dated Dec. 81, 1912, and it was ridiculous to presume that he would 1ggue an order for a judge to hold court 8 year prior to that time. Judge Campbell also decided that there was no question but what Judge Huston could imprison the men until they complied with the order of the court and the fact that the sentence was an indefinite one would not permit the Burnett's to invoke the aid of the United States constitution.
