Thackeray once acted as police reporter for the London Diogenes, and performed bis work in no perfunctory way. How the future novelist must have enjoyed observing and recording this bit of courtroom humor: Pat Fogarty went oil the way from Manchester to London in order to thrash Mick Fltzpatrlek, which he did, winding up the performance with the assistance of an "awful horseshoe." He was detected and brought before Mr.

Justice Simpleman. "Well, sir," began the court, "you came here from Manchester, did you?" "Your honor has answered correct." "You see the complainant's head; it was cut by a sharp instrument Do you what cut It?" "Ain't your honor after sayln that a sharp insthrumlnt did?" "I see you mean to equivocate," said the court, becoming restive. "Now, sir, you cut that head; you came here to cut It, did you not? Now, sir, what motive brought you to London?" "The locomotive, per honor. "Equivocating again, you scoundrel!" said the court, waxing warm. Raising up the horseshoe, and holding it before Pat, he said, "Do you see this horseshoe, sir?" "Is It a horseshoe, yer honor?" "Don't you see it Is, sir? Are you blind? Can you not tell at once that it is a horseshoe?" "Bedad, no, yer honor." "No?" angrily.

"No, yer honor; but can yersilf tell?" "Of course I can, you stupid Irishman." "Oh, glory be to goodness, see what education Is!" soliloquized Pat, aloud. "Sure, yer honor, a poor. Ignorant creature like mesilf wouldn't know a horse's shoe from a mare's. Youth'a Companion. Curious Lore.

It has been remarked as a curious circumstance that Bonaparte and Wellington were born in the same year, and that Burns and Hogg, the Scotch poets, were both born on Jan. 25; but It is more remarkable that the two greatest dramatic poets of modern Europe, Shakespeare and Cervantes, both died on the same day in the same year, April 23, 1616. It Is further remarkable that Shakespeare, like the great Raphael and Sobieskl. died on the anniversary of his birth. From Fennell's Shakespeare Repository, 1858.

Cyclist Chased l.lom. Two motor cyclists, Mr. and Mrs. Macdonald, the former a magistrate at Milmba, while returning from the Zomba (Central Africa) coronation ceremonies, were chased for five miles by two lions, which showed no fear of the noise made by the englnea, and galloped after the motor cyclists with evident determination to kill them. The lions were Anally outdistanced, and the riders, suffering greatly from nervous strain, reached their bom la safety.

The only comment I desire to make is that any other man would have done the same or his bondsmen would instead. No man deserves credit for doing what the law requires of him. Under my promise to the people of this county, if nominated and elected, and which promise I will fulfill to the letter, I would have turned over to the county, In the same length of time, several thousand dollars more, by doing the work myself and saving the expense of one assistant.

CHICKASHA SHIPS MELONS. Over Fifty-Eight Thousand of This Luscious Product Leave That City. A solid train of fifty-five cars loaded with watermelons, left Chick-asha Saturday bound for northern and eastern markets. Each car contained over one thousand large, juicy melons and the tables and the gutters of the cities less blessed than those of this section will bo loaded with fruit of the vine. It is said that the farmers around Chickasha have agreed to load forty cars a day lor the next ten days if the railroads will agree to furnish the cars.

What Chickasha has done and is doing in the watermelon line, can easily be done by the people of Ardmore. Nowhere, even in this great state, can watermelons be raised in a more lavish abundance than in Carter county. Some days ago the Ardmoreite suggested the feasibility of forming a melon growers' association. The suggestion eminated from a leading Ardmore farmer-candidate. Is it not well worthy of a careful consideration? The fruit growers of this county have already organized for the pur-liose of accomplishing a better and more advantageous handling of the Blberta peach crop.

The good of this organization is already being felt by the peach producers. Better prices have been gotten so far, than ever before and the peaches of this season's growing have scarcely begun to move. If the growers of the El-berta feel the benefit of the organization, why will not those who may produce the fruit "smiling on the vine'' do the same? It seems that what Chickasha Is doing should afford food for thought and cause for action among the Carter county farmers. Nothing which the soil would produce can be raised mith less labor, and greater profit if handled and marketed right, than the watermelon. AVhile It may be too late to take up the matter this season, no time should be lost in formulating and perfecting plans for organization next year.

Th Commercial clnb of this city will be only too glad to afford all possible help in the matter. Vapor baths cleanse the body of Impurities and doea not leave bad effects like medicine. At the Palace Barber Sao. t3t' Mrs. .1.

Today Rains Will Bring Out Full Vote, Especially in Rural Districts. The steady downpour of rain today will, in i be opinion of many, cause the casting of a very heavy vote lomomi.v. This will be especially true in the fanning communities. The ground will be so thoroughly saturated witli water that practically no farm work can be accomplished and in consequence the farmers will turn out in large numbers to talk for their favorite candidates, to work for iliem and to vote for them. A great deal of interest is centering around the offices of prosecuting attorney, county attorney, county judge, register of deeds, county superintendent of school and county clerk.

The sheriff's race is also attracting a great deal of notice. In ail these struggles for preferment, except that of county clerk, there are numerous aspirants and the prospects of a heavy country vote, it is thought, will materially change the lace of affairs and make it more difficult to pick the winner." ENTITLED TO HEAVY VOTE. William Franklin, a Home Man De- serves Our Support. William M. Franklin of Madill has a right to expect and does expect a heavy vote from Carter county in his race for congressman at large.

William Franklin has been a friend to humanity, he has as fine legislative record as any man who was ever honored iwith a legislative office. He has been interested in good laws since he was a boy. He has frequently gone before congressional committees and has been a loyal friend to this state. He will be no stranger in Washington and will do effective work from the day he Niters the gi.at law-making body of the country. He lias been loyal to every Carter county man who has ever announced for a state office and Carter county now has an opportunity to show her gratitude.

The Gas Proposition. Hefner, city attorney of Ardmore said to an Ardmoreite re-IHirter this morning, In response to a query about the condition of the Skilleru gas question, that he had prepared a number of contracts for the approval of both the gas people and the city of Ardmore. He said that it had been his earnest endeavor in drawing up these contracts to see hat the interests of the people of the city would be well conserved and protected. Judge Hefner Btated further that he had not, nor would not try to give Ardmore "the best of it," in the deal, but that he felt that the people of this city, as they were the ones iwho would pay the taxes which might be voted, should have their best interests looked after. The judge said that he felt it was his duty as an officer of this city to see that the city would be protected by a good and sufficient bond from pecuniary loss that in drawing tip all contracts for submission in thid matter, he had seen to it that sucu bond w-as provided for and that the gas people should be willing to secure the taxpayers of Ardmore, in case the bonds were called for and voted.

THE DROUTH BROKEN General Rains Over All Sections Entire State Gets Good Soaking. Following the vood rainfall of yesterday morning, a general rain be.

gan falling this morning which has rt ached, according to all reports, all over the state. Other states through the middle west anil southwest, whicn has been feeling the need of rain for the. past several weeks, are also hav- i ing heavy precipitations. Cotton and late corn, particularly the bitter, will be greatly benefited by yesterday's and today's rains. The extremely latel wet and cold season last spring delayed the planting of corn ai.d cotton very much.

Consequently a big acreage of those crops are in condition now where this rain is. in eVury sense of the word, a godsend. In the corn belt, the late planting will lie most materially helped. The ears Ml be 'better filled and, to use an old saying, "many nubbins will lie spoiled." Everybody is feeling good today farmers, iniifai turei merchants, and even candidates. This section has already threshed and market, the bM.ner oats and wheat crops of many years and now, while the corn has eii shortoned a little by the dry month of July, that shortag will fie greatly reduced by this thorough soaking rain and plenty of everything is piactically assured.
