Kvery police officer left the station thus morning with a long list of names of persons charged with vagrancy. Here in Oklahoma nearly any old body can be a vag.

You may be worth a million and be a vag. If you are a drunkard, you are a vag, if you are a poker player, you are a vag, if you fail to support your family, you are a vag and now how are are all of us to escape being a vag at some time and under some circumstances? After the police had made the first round there was a fine looking bunch before his honor, the Judge of the municipal court. Some were fined, the most of them were fined, but one fellow proved that he had a Job. that he had been working for ten days really he had put in ten days at hard labor and his toss testified that he was so well pleased with the result of the ten days' work that the defendant had a job just as long as he wanted it. And Judge Gait was touched with pity because the Oklahoma law wouldn't allow him to fine the fellow anyway, and had to turn him loose.

One able-bodied man fought his case and he fought hard, He didn't have the price to pay an attorney, but he pleaded his own case. He talked with tears in his eyes. His defense was that he had really worked. The man he worked for was put on the stand. "Yes," the witness said, "your honor, the defendant worked for me.

He did three hours' work three years ago and since tli: time I have not known of his ever doing anything." "You may stand aside," said the court and there was a fine entered against the name of the vag on the docket. Another made a fight to Bave his fine money. He stood ready to prove he was no vag, he could show that he owned property valued at $15,000 and might prove the same property was worth $20,000, if the court would allow him to get certain witnesses. "Owning property is no defense," said the court. "Have you been lying around pool halls?" "Yes," was the answer.

"Are you engaged In any kind of A negative answer came from the poor fellow and that was enough. "Found guilty," said the Judge. Now, if some fellow comes to you with a red nose and soft muscles, some fellow that does not have the appearance of having earned an honest dollars in a decade and asks you for work, don't turn him down, he will work at any price you name, If you will just agree to ge before Judge Gait and testify in police court.

HAYDEN SAYS THAT MANY CHANGES MUST BE MADE IN HIS bOOKS. "What is the matter with Ardmor people?" said the tax assessor today. "You se, my men have been working since the first of March in the field and there have been more real estate changes than ever In-'fore, and there are a lot of new people here and they are buying right and left." And that Is really wnat Is happen ing. Ardmore proxrty Is In demand. The Ardmoreite Is carrying a half dozen ads for people who want to buy homes and wihlle some answers are coming, there is not so much eagerness to sell.

When the property owner realizes that he can turn his house nnd lot for cash any day of the week, he is not so anxious to sell as when he has to hunt a month for a buyer.

Representatives of national banks which have recently converted from state banks met here today to perfect organization with the view of resist ing collection ot the 1 per cent emergency assessment made for the ben efit of the state guaranty fund by the state banking board. Little Information was allowed to leak to the public, but it is said the movement represents about fifty nationals, which the story is, have deserted their state charters In the last thirty days, and representing a total assessment of about $150,000. Complaint against the assessment Is two-fold, the bankers claiming there was no necessity for It, at least such necessity had not been known to them, and, second, they object to the use of guaranty money to keep weak Institutions going. This complaint, it was made plain by one of the bankers, Is not against the present state administration or present banking -board, but it is pointed out that In the last fourteen months the state has rushed to the rescue of banks in a bad condition and loaned the guarantee fund to keep their doors open. State bankers here today said that soon as the report of the examination of the guaranty fund made Ty the state bankers' association was received by the individual bankers, a meeting would be held to consider It.

Just what the report shows has not been made public. The banking board will probably make a test case with some of the recently converted state banks for the purpose of collecting the 1 per cent guaranty fund assessment. OSAGE BILL RE-INTRODUCED.

Mike, on leav Ing the room where he and his companion in misery slept, encouraged Pat with the assurance that he would soon return.

He started for the cellar and about half way down kicked over a milk pan which had been placed on the step to cool the milk. The noise roused the farmer, who jumped up In and shouted, "Who's there?" Mike merely answered "M-e-aw!" The farmer thought that it was only ia cat and settled down to sleep again. Mike found the well-stored cupboards, and filled himself, his hands and his pockets and returned to the bedroom. He said to Pat, "Now, Pat, be alsey, for on the cellar sthalrs they have a lot of milk pans. lie alsey taut you don't hit 'em."
