The man, Qeprge Pettibone, from Causes which ho contracted several years ago while conflnod in tho Idaho penitentiary. What crime did ho commit, do you ask? None! is the answer. Yoars ago he was kidnaped from his home in Colorado, and ihand- cuffod and shackled, and guarded by desperate men, was spirited into II new state where a charge of murder was placed against him, and he was held without bond.

True it was, that he was In another state when the alleged crime was committed, and that no evidence was adduced against him, but this did rot dolor the majesty of the law from keeping him In close confinement where he lost his health and strength. Then years later tho state decided without oven a trial that he was not guilty, and Without oven being tried he was dismissed. The fact that he been branded asi a murderer, that he had been ruined in health, and that after years privation, penniless and In pain, he had been restored to his help-mate, was never even considered by the state which caused his arrest. Why (Should George Pettibone forced to serve years in jail for a crime which It Is admitted he never committed, while the nrislocratlc murderer, the plundering capitalist who robs the poor and makes children orphans, goes unmolested. Is the low for the rich alone, and not for the poor? Oo to the woman In black and she will give you the answer.

There IH no lietter opening In the United States for a wholesale dry goods store and Jobbing house than In the city of Muskogee. MuBkogPo Is the largest city in tho eastern part of Oklahoma, which now has a population oxcoedlng 1,000.000, and tho neartst Jobbing poini Is Kansas City which Is more than 200 miles distant. Within a radius of 50 mllcB of this city 300,000 people make their homo, and In that same tprrllory tlioro are thousands of stores which handle goods sold and distrlbutod by wholi'sale dry goods and Jobbing houses.

Then again, this Is the railroad center of this section of the country and the iiiorrhant, instead of waiting a week or more to secure his goods from St. Louis or Kansas City, would be euro of getting them the next day if he puri'hased then from a Muskogee bouse. There is 110 reason why this city should not be a jobbing center and why htindreds of travoUng men should not make this their headtiuarters. In a few years fioni now Muskogee will bo a city of 50.000 inhabitants there will be 1,500,000 In the eastern part of the slate, and the man or colleclidn of men who open a dry goods house here now is hure of success.

Both are mploytrs of men. In one Institution the workers are loyal, onthusl- astlo and never look at the clock. They are alert, on the Job every minute. It matters little whether their employer Is lil Burope or at his desk.

Business moves and grows Just the same. In the'other Institution eye is on tho clock. Men tremble when the bOBB comes around to draw a chalk mark on the floor and tell his men to stand there within the circle all day long. Office politics is played. One employe another and goes out of the Office with a curse on his lips for the man who feeds him.

Chaos prevails in every department and ae surely as night follows the day this Institution falls. And why? Thii problem, this secret of friendship and love then has a commercial value. It Is the secret troasutfe men search for through a life if struggles and reverses. Perhaps the reason so men overlook the secret is that it Is beneoth their very eyes.
