Pretty Home Wedding.
ednesday evening, October 25, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank' McKown, of Jackson township, was the scene of a pretty home wedding, when their daughter, Dollie, became the bride of James F. Overman, of Mansfield, Ohio.
At 8 o'clock the wedding march was played by Mrs. Roy Hasler and the bridal party entered the parlor, preceded by the Rev. Omcr Hufford, who pronounced the ceremony in the presence of about sixty relatives and intimate friends.
The maid of honor was Miss Audrey Jones and Curtis McKown was best man. Both are cousins of the bride. The bride was gowned in a beautiful dress of cream-colored serge combined with silk. Miss Jones wore a dress of cream color, similar to that of the bride. The decorations of the rooms throughout were of autumn foliage, the bright colors of which lent a glow and beauty to the scene in accordance with the season.
After the ceremony there was an informal reception, for which the Misses Anna McKown, Iva and Elsie Jones were assistants. Mr. and Mrs. Overman received many beautiful and useful presents. They will leave in a few days for Mansfield, Ohio, where they will make their future home.
Surprised By Friends.
The friends of Miss Hazel Jackson gave her quite a surprise at her home at Maxwell Friday night, the occasion being her birthday. She had gone to spend the evening with Miss Ada Eakin and when she returned, about 7:30, she was greeted by a group of young people. To say she w^as surprised would be putting it mildly. Games were indulged in during the evening. The guests present were Misses Nellie Webb, Ada Eakin, Hazel, Oral and Leona Dobbins, Nellie Pratt, Verda, India and Blonda Scott, Faye Rash, Hazel Shepler and Ruth West and Messrs. Tom Barrett, Charles and Eddie Cowell, Guy Alford, Charles O'Neal, Frank Rothermel, Floyd Kerlin, John Matthews and Harvey Rash, of Eden Emery Shepler, Claud Roberts, Willie Jackson, Fred Bussell, Lenna Dobbins, Chas Baker, Herschel Shepler and Ed Hudson, of Maxwell. Refreshments were served and all departed at a late hour, wishing Miss Hazel many more happy birthdays.
The Valueless Paper.
A year or more ago an enterprising newspaper man in Oklahoma City, appreciating the small net returns from subscriptions, and being aware that the greater the circulation the more the advertising was considered worth, decided lo give away I he paper-—and sent if free of charge lo any one who would accept it.
For a lime the circulation was very large. Big bundles were sent to the neighboring towns, to be given away, and everybody who would allow the paper to be delivered at his home received it free of cost. Advertisers used the paper liberally at the start, believing that the great circulation would bring returns, but it failed to do so.
In fact, the circulation of the paper declined after a few weeks—after the novelty wore off. People preferred buying their own paper lo having one given to them— strange as il may seem in these days of the high cost of living. At any rale, the advertising declined mil il the publisher found he was losing a great deal of money. Recently the paper had to be sold— and the experiment of a free paper will never again be tried in Oklahoma. ft stands to reason that the paper which a man buys, and which is read because it is valued, is a better advertising medium than a free paper. The handbill furnishes an illustration.
You may throw a handbill into every house in this city a facsimile of a page adverl isement jn a newspaper, and the returns from the handbill will not be anything like as great as the returns from I lie same advertisement, run in a regular daily newspaper. It ias been Iried in a hundred instances, and is about as well demonstrated as anything could be.
In addition to no value being attached to the handbill, which is thrown free of charge into the home there is nothing connected wilh il to give if an interest. If one does not feel like reading the advertisement at the time the poster is received, it goes info the waste basket, There is no reason why it should be preserved until after the evening meal to be read by members of the family. Further, it shows upon its face that it is intended as a means of cheap advertising and the average American wants nothing to do with anything that has the appearance of cheapness.
Edison Seeing Ahead.
Thomas A. Edison has taken time, during his vacation in Europe, to do a great deal of talking' lor the newspapers. As usual, he lias said many interesting things. He has been profoundly impressed while in France with the part that the aeroplane is to play in warfare in the future. lie thinks Inat the recent war scare, which resulted in 1,200 French aeroplane pilots placing themselves and their machines at the command of their country, indicates that frontier garrisons will amount to little when armies are able lo move at night through the air and wipe rival armies and cities out of existence with bombs. He thinks the conquest- of the air, so tar as mans inventive genius is concerned, has only begun. He believes the secret will be wrested from the motions of certain flying insects rather than of birds, and that in a year or two air transports with passengers, speeding 100 miles an hour, will be the general means of travel. "The earth, however, will not cease to be busy in consequence," he said. "There will be lots of things running up and down all the time but the days of steam power are about at a finish electricity will be the motive power everywhere."
Gold, too, he thinks, has seen its best days. When questioned with regard to the possibility of manufacturing gold, he said: "It is only a matter of time. The discovery of a proper combination and treatment of metal is bound to come soon it may arrive tomorrow," and the wizard looked mysterious, and then laughed heartily. "It makes some of you gold bugs shake a little, doesn't it? But scientists all over the world are working at metal combinations, and the crucible will betray things sooner or later— and then what about those clauses in contracts to pay in gold coin of standard weight and fineness? Supposing the railroads suddenly became able to pay their bonds in gold which they knew how to manufacture at a cost of only five pounds a ton. Mark my words, it will come. "We are only at the beginning of science," said Mr. Edison to the London Standard. "Nature's doors are just opening after mighty pushing on our part. This century wi 11 see as many hair-raising wonders as the past has seen."
He has told the Europeans how he "happened onto" the phonograph. If came out as an illustration of his declaration that many of the besl inventions are the result of accidents—aided hv genius. He discovered the principle when the vibrating needle of a telephone pierced his finger. He invented incandescent lights by way of revenge on an impatient gas company, which cut oil' his light because in the stress of an invention, he had forgotten their bill.
According lo Mr. Edison, it is work, not genius, which is chiefly Responsible for inventions—"Two per cent, of genius and 98 per cent, of work." Work has of I en meant to Mr. Edison a sacrifice of more than time. When he obtained six thousand pounds for his method of sending two simultaneous messages each way over the telegraph wires, he spent that and more in trying to turn the two messages into three. Even in his food Mr. Edison is ever ready to make new experiments, and he has tried a diet or four ounces a day, with excellent results. —Editorial in Indianapolis News.
The Aesthetic Sinker.
All who have read I he popular brand of outdoor fiction, and most of those who have camped, hunted or cruised, know the joys, or sorrows, of hardtack, more appropriately called "sinkers." "dampers," "bannocks," etc. In "Boy Scouts of America," by Ernest Thompson Seton, just published by Doubleday. Page & Co., the best recipe known to the author for making these invaluable articles is given as follows: "To make these necessary evils, take 1 pint flour,
I teaspoonful of baking powder, Half as much salt. Twice as much grease or lard. With wafer enough to make into paste, say one-half pint.
When worked into smooth dough shape it into wafers, half an inch thick and three inches across. Set in a greased tin, which is tilted up near a steady fire. Watch and turn the tin till all are browned evenly."
Dr. Osier says: "He is the best doctor who knows the worthlessness of most drugs." And conversely it may be said, "He is a poor doctor who does not know that pure air, plain food in moderate amount, pure water and bodily cleanliness beat drugs all holler."—Slate Board of Health Bulletin.
Ed Bennett will go to Brooklyn Sunday.

Shubei't Mural Theater. The coming of Blanche Ring, Americas foremost singing comedienne, to the Shuhert Murat theater. Indianapolis, November 2, 3, •i, with matinee on Saturday, should prove an event of unusual importance to theater patrons. This is I lie first real musical comedy production to play at Indianapolis this season, and it will also be welcome on that account, When it comes to singing songs there is only one Blanche Ring. Her magnetism and her charming personality somehow I get over the footlights, and she is an entertainer of the first magnitude.
Miss Ring has a new musical comedy, "The Wall Street Girl," this season, and in this she is scoring the greatest success of her career. The press speak of it as a worthy successor to "The Yankee Girl,- in which she was seen here last season. Then, too, Miss Ring has a much larger company than she has had in the past, and her new production is more lavish in every way. The book is by Margaret Mayo and Edgar Selwyn, the lyrics by Hapgood Burt, and the music by Karl Hoschna.
Miss Ring plays the part of Jemima Greene, daughter of a Wall Street broker. Her father being disappointed in not having a son, brings up his daughter in mannish fashion. She enters his Wall Street office and delves in high finance. When a westerner comes along with a gold-mining proposition, she has a "hunch" that it is the real thing and takes a half interest. Howr the gold mine saves her father from failure and how Jemima falls in love with her partner is cleverly worked out by the co-playwrights.
There are a dozen catchy songs and half the number fall to Miss Ring. Of course she will sing them in her inimitable manner. Among her greatest hits are "Deedle-dum-Dee," and "I Want a Regular Man." Harry Gilfoil has the principal comedy role, while among others wrell known are William P. Carleton, Clarence Oliver, Paul Porter, Maude Knowiton, Florence Shirley, and Cross and Josephine. The chorus is the most stunning which has left New York this season.
THE MOTION PICTURES EXHAUST LITERATURE.
What if there should he a shortage in literature? That sounds like an absurdity, but there really is danger of it. The moving picture shows are reeling off the world's classics at a tremendous rale. A nice big long classic like Dante's "Inferno" only lakes two hours, and the "Merchant of Yenice" can be seen in twenty minutes.
If has been said that I here was loo much literature. jple have pretended writing ought lo lie 11 il folks had read things that were
Moving- pictures
and some peolo believe that prohibited tinup the good: going to waste., have destroyed
laf theory. There soon will not be any classics left for the picture shows. That may result, loo, in an advanced price. We may endure high prices on sugar and laundry, but the price of moving pictures must not be raised. We shall have lo have more literature. Almost anything will do. Tt is necessary to be particular about the way it is written. Don't worry about blank verse or heroic couplets. They will all look the same in action.
One good thing is the fact that the high-brow is going lo be spoiled as everybody will know- just as much as everybody else. The people who go lo see Dante's "Tnferno" in moving pictures because I hey have never read Danfe. are like just a few of I lie rest of us. Maybe we haven't, read Dante, or Yirgil, or Petrarch, or Shakespeare, or even Longfellow. The reason is probably because we did not wish tostrange as if may seem. There couldn't be any other reason, for most of us can read.
And still we are just a little, ashamed and would like to know something about at least a few pieces of poetry. The moving pictures have solved the problem. You and can learn about the fall of Troy or the soliloquy of Hamlet by paying 5 cents at the "movies." This* also includes grand opera, by the way. Then, when somebody mentions some piece of classicism we can scatter a few small pasty jewels of wisdom ourselves and get away with it. too. There is some danger of mixing in a little gravel in the shape of western melodrama or a sensational chase of frenzied populace, falling over paste buckets and banana stands, but nobody will know enough to call our little bluff.
Miss Myrtle Fletcher, of Willow Branch, was in this city Monday, calling on friends.
Mr. and Mrs. A. K. Ellis and Miss Jennie «Barr spent Sunday with friends at Lafayette.
