CONSISTENCY, THOU JEWEL.
Andrew A. Veatch, poet-editor qf
the Black Diamond, a newsy sheet
published at Coalgate, Oklahoma,
makes a charttcterUtcl reply to some
of those who are opposing making
Coalgate a county seat,"as follows:
"It has been charged that Coalgate
is a veritable colony of foreigners,
especially Frenchmen, Jews and Ital-
ians. Well, Charlamagne was a
Frenchman. Jesus Christ was a Jew
and Christopher Columbus was an Ital-
ian, and besides these we know no
greater characters in hlatq^y.”
Tlmpson, Texas, has received
enough advertising through, an item
first published In the Times. of that
place, about the mayor's salary, for
the men. who are interested in Ujjaffge-
velopment of.that hustling Eas^lrexas
burg to set aside an aninjR^for the
benefit of that paper. No matter where
one can go now, it is a sure thing that
if Tlmpson is mentioned, it will b^f
found to be familiar to all, as paiiers
all over the country, front the largest
to the smallest publication, have had
something to say of Tlmpson, Texas,
within the past two months.
The following sidelight- on the mail
order question, from an exchange,- Reports-from Marshall indicate that
contains more truth than poetry: j great iriterest Is being manifested In
A c*ry goods merchan' was starting the new 'Marshall-Orange-Port Arthur
down .own when his wife reminded
mm of his most important duty during
the day: "Now. my dear, be sure and
tou t forget to send to the city for
that new Stanhope, so we can have
it by Sunday. You know our old buggy
Is getting so it’s not fit to be seen."
Just a few blocks away the mer-
chant who handles vehicles and Im-
plements was sitting at breakfast with
his family. The conversation drifted
around to the near approach of
.school. "And that reminds me, John."'
said the l&dv who sat at the head of
the table. "I must be going to the
city no later than next week. I must
jget goods for the children's school
clothes, and then to see about a fall
suit for myself, and while I’m there
perhaps, I'd better see about a new
rug for the parlor and some lace cur-
tains for, the front wtndows."
An hour -«*L. two later the town's
leading grocer stepped into the bank
to buy a draft, which he was going
to send to a catalogue bouse for a
"swell” bedroom suit. "How's busi-
ness?" asked the banker. ‘'Oh. not so
very good." replied the coffee and
sugar merchant, resignedly "Things
are a little dull just now.”
Before the banker finished writing
the draft a dapper young man with a
grip stepped in and asked how every-
body was. The banker seemed glad
to see him. He was the’ representa-
tive of a big printing'establishment in
another state. He and the banker
chatted pleasantly for a few minutes,
after which the voting man inquired
casually of his friend behind the whi-
tlow if he wanted anything. "Well,
yes," replied the other good-naturedly.
"I believe I do. Print us 50,000 checks,
5000 drafts and a couple of thousand
letter heads " The young man thanked
him cordially for the order and bus-
tled out.
That night the local business men
had a meeting in the town hall to dis-
cuss the growth of the mail order evil.
All of the gentlemen mentioned 'n
this narrative delivered short talks.
"They all agreed that the farmers were
guilty of treason to their home mer-
chants when they persisted In buying
their goods of mail order houses, and
the meeting closed by adopting strong
resolutions against irading away from
h-ome
THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
By Herbert J. Hapgood.
It pays to keep smiling!
Not a grimace, nbr a stereotyped
expression of the facial muscles, but
— an expression (hauls backed up-by a
goodmatured twinkle in the eyes—
that is the kind of & smile that counts
every time.
Every man and woman in his and
her daily intercourse with fellow-
humans will, run up against matters
that a:'■ brimful of disappointment,
when to -mile would be aim iv an
impossibility; but no matter bow-
many of those experiences fall to your
lot. there Is some bright ness in every
individual’s life, and It is up to him
to let the world know when there is
Out in the far west, the demise of a
man recently occurred, and according
to report, he had never sjmken to an
other in Half a century, nor smiled at
anyone A woman Jilted him once,
and since that time he was, as Saman-
tha Allen would say.
■world." No. he never smiled; but
what satisfaction did he get out of
his sphinx-like face" It didn't, make
him any happier,, and truly not thosb
with whom he f-aitie In contact. Every
-day was the same to him..and 1c was
antagonistic, not only to himself, but
to those about htrn. How much bet-
ter would it have been had this man
looked upon his hitter ex|»erieiice
from a sensible viewpoint—smiled,
and at least endeavored to make his
relative*, friends and acquaintances
think he didn't care so very, very
mneh. and that he could smile' in the
face of adversity and sorrow.
Honey will always catch more files
than vinegar. This Is established.
Just so will a smile be instrumental
In securing more business for the mer-
chant or the salesman, more than
will a countenance like untp a graven
Image.
tkin’f let the world think vow are a
member of a "lemon" club, whose
■ales forbid the use of a smile. If
you’ve a pain or an ache, If you'rp
down on your luck. If you've not
been quite as successful as you think
-yon should have been, or If your busi-
ness affairs don’t run smoothly each
and every day. just bear in mind,
“there are others.” smile up. take
another Mtch In your energy belt, and
ytpu wil/ feel a heap Bight better for
smiling.

It was the seventeenth of June,
And gfeat was the convention—
The vote, was coming pretty soon.
And thrilling was the tension. •
"Alabama!” cried the clerk.
And some there were went daft
When a U. S. Marshal showed
head
Out In the seething mass and said:
"Co.unt 22 for Taft!"
The Cannon men turned pale as
ghosts.
And the Hughes men gasped for
■ - breath—
The men for Fairbanks clung to posts
As colorless as death.
“Arkansas!” the-clerk exclaimed.
And the hali shook fore and aft
When a spry posttnasier, white of
hair, . !'
Hopped to She main deck of his chair.
And cried. “Eighteen for Taft!"
The Fairbanks men exuded groans.
And the Cannon men shed tears—
And the Hughes men uttered none
but moans
That -once had uttered cheers
"California!" boomed the clerk,
And the whole convention laughed
When a revenue collector rose
And whistled shrilly through his nose,
"Count 20 more for Taft""
The Hughes men looked at the Can-
non men,
And they crawled out of their
chairs—
And the Fairbanks fellows joined
them when
They pulled theic Teddy Bears.

And they all rushed up on thr center
stage
As men who had riiade ready—
And when the din and the tumult
died.
Arid the dust had settled down Inside.
The candidate was Teddy.
And when Bill Taft discovers what
a mean trick they have played him.
he’ll shed his coat and go to find the
man who has betrayed him. He’ll j
lumber up the White House wteps.j
with each jump growing warmer, and
Ted will hear him coming In, and slip
into his armor They’ll spar around
the room a bit, and Ted will cry, “See
here. Bill! I know- the whole affair
must look all thunderatlon queer, Bill; j
but listen: You’ll be named for vice,

exclaim. "1 see It now! By Jove, I {
should hav<s guessed it! O. most un-
grateful wretch am I, to think that
you who made roe—my foenajaetor
and my friend—had shamelessly be-
trayed me!”
Whereat they wifi embrace and hug
As lovers reunited,
And Ted will rest on William's breast
And softly say, "Delighted!”
June gets its name from Juno, the
Roman goddess of marriage. Juno
was supposed to see everybody hap-
pily married She was highly quali-
fied to do this, for she herself had
married Jupiter, who was a worse run
abodt than Boni Gould. When the
celestial chorus was playing Parnas
sus. Jupiter hung around the stage
door like a Plttsburger. He atlrred up
more scandal than Tom Platt, and
was as bold as G1lmana|re Corey.
Juno flanlly avenged herself upon
her rivals by aiming them into cows,
w-hieh made Jupiter a cattle king.
The college graduate will hear
The Macedonian cry
Of Kansas farmers who must get
The wheat cut by July.
They’ll rustle out while yet the lark
Is chirruping his matin.
And chase the binder round the field
Exuding Greek and Latin.
The dinner bell will bring the aage.
the scholar and the cynic, and dinner
will become a sort of scientific clinic.
Astronomers will talk of Mars, of Sa-
turn and of Venus, and Latinists re-
call a few' romances of Btlenus. The
Junobug will be mentioned as the
genius Lachnosterna, and other bugs
will apeak of land as being terra
flrma. They’ll quarrel, sfafout and
sometimes swear in Arabic and Greek,
and now and then a dainty hand will
clasp a damask cheek. And all the
while the farmer, full of wondering
and doubt, will deeply marvel what
the hotel Bill it’s all about.
The Anti-Saloon League willing, the
21st will be the longest day of the
year. Upofl that date the sun will
reach the Tropic of Cancer In the
northerly declination, and will start
south again. On the same day the
month will pass out of the influence
of Gemini the Twins, and persons
born after the 21st need not be afraid
They will not have* any.: Upon the
contrary, the stork will fill only single
•(orders under the .zodiacal sign of
Cancer the Crab. Children born un-.
der this sign will crawl backward and
cry for crabapple Jelly.
The smiling heavens will inspire
The skylark and the linnet,
And the busy parsons will turn out
A new bride every minute
A few friends will throw shoes and
rice,
And taste the wedding cake, ,
And then make bets among them-
' selves
On whether It will take.
Mr. Bryan will complete his wall
around Denver about the 30th, and
will set a deadfall at the gate for Gov-
ernor Johnson. In the course of the
month, all tleniocrats who have fought
fist-fights on the floor of Congress, or
in any other way distinguished them-
selves. will be honorably mentioned
for vice-president.
The boys will seek the swimming
hole
In quite excited packs,
And paddle in it till the sun
Puts blisters on their hacks;
And when the dlsobedients
Come wet haired back to town,
ThCy’H get a few more blisters raised
A little lower down.
Commencements will come in again
and knowing well this bore, the w-llj-
parent will take up a seat quite near
the door; and when his own child has
declaimed, and shown , its skill and
pluck, he’ll lead the plaudits for a
time, and Impolitely duck.
The hungry boy will stow a few
green apples in his turn, and-hls ma
will lay him belly up out in the blaz
ing sun; and after while the pain will
cease, the agony and gripe, because,
by virtue of the sun." the once-green
fruit Is ripe.
And then the Fourth will come again,
^ With death and lockjaw from It,
And Pike’s Peak in the public eye,
With Bryan on the summit.

Let Me Tell You Something
These arc commercial times.
To be successful you must look it.
The world is sure to judge you by appearances—at least
lyitil it knows better. "•
So that—
A diamond sparkling on a man’s or woman's finger gives
the wearer an immediate air of prosperity which is far-
reaching in its influence.
And besides the money it merely invested -you can get it
back any time you want it.
If you wish to investigate in diamonds—in whatever form
at whatever price—there are plenty of reasons why you
should come here.
