OKLAHOMA LETTER. Chateau, Okla., Nov. 9, 1908. Editor Democrat:—As the election is over and all is settled, I will extend congratulations to the democrats of Jasper and Newton counties for the great* gains they achieved. While I think that the democrats of my home county— Newton —could have done better than to give Taft 449 majority while Watson only received 264, it appears to me that there must have been something wrong, somewhere. But Jasper county and the state as a whole is surely to be congratulated on tne good work they did. Oklahoma is still in the democratic ranks by from 10,000 to 20,000, and the House will be democratic, insuring the election of Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind- senator. We lost our congressman from this 3d district, but Mayes county stood solid for Bryan. Talk the bank guarantee law to your readers, for it is one of the best laws in existence today. It is a boon to the poor people of Oklahoma —of which there are many—and it will apply as well to Indiana. Since the passage of this law in the new state there has been more money than there ever was before, as the money came to our banks from all over our adjoining states. Kansas, dur sister republican state, on the north, was, quick to apprehend that the money was going from her banks to the Oklahoma banks, and the republican state platform contained a plank in favor of Bank Guarantee Deposits. All the laws that were submitted to the people with the exception of the Billups Bill—providing for the state dispensary—carried satisfactory. But the liquor people gained a point in killing this bill.

FOR THE CHILDREN

The Cat ind the Mouse. About twelve people can best play this game, although a larger number can play if there is room enough for them to romp around in a cirqle. All but two of the party join hands In a circle. One of the two stays within the circle and is called the mouse, and the other remains outside and is called the cat. To begin the game the children with their hands clasped must start going round in a circle, at the suuie time moving their arms up and down. Th* mouse, who is inside, runs out through a convenient opening, and the cat dashes in. Then all the arms are suddenly lowered so that the cat cannot escapu. The cat cries “Mew, mew!” and tries to find an exit. She soon manages t* escape from the circle and pursues the mouse, who tries to save herself by again running into the ring. Should she get in with the cat on the outside the cat musit pay a forfeit, and if the mouse is caught sb» herself must pay a forfeit The cat and mouse name tlieir successors, and the game is started again.

Deserved a Cracker. Here is the story of a parrot that protected her master’s home from burglars. The thieves entered through on* of the front parlor windows, crept through the hail, passed the bird and began opening the sideboard In which the silver was kept. One of them had gathered up the costly Turkish rugs on the floor when Polly spoke out. * “Is that you. Frank?” she asked. The burglars stopped, and Polly repeated the question in a louder and more Imperative key. By this time the noise had awakened her master. He grasixsl a revolver and made for the head of the stairs, touched an electric button and lit the lights In the hall Three men were struggling hastily through the front door. Downstairs the master found Polly In her cage under the piano. The cage was upset' but the bird uninjured. < He placed her tight side up on the piano, when sht) lifted her frightened head from under her wing and asked again, “Is that yoti. Frank?”

Th* So Called Century Plant. ▲ widespread misapprehension exists about the so called century plant, which is that it blooms only at the expiration of a hundred years, says the Chicago News. Another misapprehension is it takes the plant a hundred years to get Its ‘first flower and then blooms every year. Still another Is that it is a cactus. The truth about the plant Is as foljows: It is an agave, not a cactus. It got Its name, century plant, from ibe fact that It was formerly believed to attain its growth and bloom only after a hundred years, but It will mature iu ten years with the soil and climate both favorable. In less favorable situations It matures In about seventy years. The plant is remarkable for one thing especially Tt blooms as soon as It has attained Its fall growth, whenever that may be. and then dies. But the bloom is worthy of from ten to seventy years to produce it for it has a stem about forty feet In height. No wonder it Is called “agave,” which In Greek means “noble." Orville Wright’s wiuglike attachments may be crippled for life, but his thinking apparatus will, work on Just the same. When the football rush breaks loose the “rooters” marvel that they ever saw any fnn in a. mere election. ; ;4r “ . ■> Time Is getting short for limiting the leap yeer crop of “might have been*” ' > , ... .. . , M Order r obld Medal Flour If your folks are pemlcldty about their victuals.

TOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Homemade Soap. Put six pounds of common washing •oda and three pounds of unslacked lime In a pot and pour over it four gallons of boiling water. Let stand until perfectly clear, then drain. Pour in two gallons of cold water, let it settle clear, then drain off into a pan or other vessel. Now add to soda and limewater six pounds of clean fat and boll to harden, thinning from time to time with the two gallons of cold water poured on alkaline mixture after draining off the four gallons of hot water;. Add it when there Is danger of Its boiling over. Try the thickness by cooling a spoonful on a plate. Stir in a handful of salt Just before taking from the fire. Wet a tub to prevent sticking, turn the soap in and let stand until solid; then cut in bars and put on a board to dry. It should dry for about three months. This makes about forty pounds of soap ■aid to be much superior to the common bar of yellow soap. Graps Jules. First pick the grapes from the stems and wash them thoroughly. Wash in a preserving kettle and add enough water to keep the grapes from sticking to the bottom of the kettle. Boil for twenty minutes, then ponr Into a jelly bag and let It drip, Just as you would for jelly. Do not squeeze the pulp or the juice will not be clear. Bring to the boiling point again and sweeten to taste if you like, or it may be sweetened when nsed, as it will keep perfectly without sugar if sealed. While boiling hot stand the bottles In a dishpan or boiler on boards or straw. Fill the pan with water to near the top of the bottles and keep boiling while you pour In the boiling grape Juice. Cork and seal at once. Remedy For Nosebleed. Aside from the cold compress or ice which every one knows should be put on a child’s neck at the base of the head, there are otber remedies which Should be resorted to if the bleeding is at all profuse. In addition to the cold compress on the back of the beck lay a cloth wrung out of cold water over the root of the nose and Instruct the child to bold the arms high over the head until the nose stops bleeding. The child should not be allowed to Mow bis nose for some time after the bleeding has stopped, for if this Is done it is apt to make the nosebleed again and more profusely.

Handy Wall Bracket. To those who have to make the most of every inch of space In the borne the bracket devised by a New York man will appeal strongly. The bracket consists of two heavy wire arms shaped like a letter “U” and having lateral

FOLDS AGAINST WALL.

extensions at the ends which fasten in two plates that are screwed into the wan or door. Below and between these plates is a third, which holds a pair of supporting arms, the ends of which fasten In circular loops In the longitudinal arms and holds them upright The whole apparatus can be pat up anywhere in a few minutes and taken down as easily. When not tn use the supporting arms can be slipped out of place and the bracket folded against the wall or door. A hoard can he placed across the top If needed. French Dressing. Olive or peanut oil, six tablespoonfate; lemon juice or vinegar, two or more tablespoonsfnls; salt, one-half teaspoonfnl; paprika, one-fourth teaspoonfu). and onion juice, one teaspoonfnl. To prepare put the salt and paprika hi a mixing bowl with a small piece of Ice and add the oil a little at a time, stirring constantly and rapidly. Then the acid Is added in the same manner till the mixture thickens. Then the onion Juice Is put In. Olive Oil as a Medicine. A tablespoonful of olive oil taken In a cup with a little orange Juice will bo found beneficial for the digestion and will ease liver trouble. Olive on serves as an appetizer, and those having no appetite sbould have It served on vegetables and salads. Catarrh, either of the stomach or of the throat, will be benefited by taking the oil internally, either on salads or alone. Automatic Custard Stirrer. Place a large clean marble in the kettle boiling milk, sauces, stews, porridge, custards or liquids. It will automatically do the stirring during the cooking process and saves any one standing and wasting precious time doing It with a spoon. It prevents any burning, and you may attend to an other details of your dinner while the marble Is busily helping you.

STEEL TARIFF OPPRESSIVE

Rut Steel Men Have Strategic Position* In Congress—Little Hope From Republican Revision. The New York Journal of Commerce In an extended article entitled “Steel Tariff Must (Jo" reviews the conditions of the Iron and steel industry and the prospect of lower duties through revision of the tariff. A Pittsburg “producer of an Important steel Ijne,” who buys crude stool, as a raw material, is quoted as saying: “It stands tc reason that the export record of ihe United Stales Steel corporation should dictate an immediate placing ’on the free list of crude steel, but 1 do not for a moment imagine that the Republican party, if successful, will make any real attempt to revise the tariff at a special session. That is merely a campaign promise which no experienced man should take seriously.” The Journal of Commerce adds: “Throughout these and other interviews with representatives of the Iron and steel trade runs the uniform sentiment that there- will be no serious revision of the tariff at a special session and doubt whether there will at any time be a serious revision under Republican auspices. Evidently the campaign promise is not taken seriously at all.” Pointed comment is made on the well known practice of selling steel prodnets abroad at $8 to $lO per ton less than the prices charged In the United States. It is said: “If they (the Iron and steel duties) were removed altogether, no less Iron and steel would be produced in this country. In fact, their use would be more readily extended and their production stimulated, while all Industries would feel the Impulse.” How little prospect there Is for relief against these oppressive taxes under a Republican administration is indicated by the following: “The strategic position of Representative Daizell, the special representative of the steel Interests on the ways and means committee, and his strong influence with Speaker Caunon assure the predominance of the steel people In the lower house. In the upper chamber much the same situation will be created through Chairman Aldrich, Senator Penrose, Senator Knox and others.”

The party which has thrice unconscionably increased tariff taxes in the test generation, showing itself powerless to help the people against special Interests, when it now promises “genuine” revision must be looked npou as “Greeks bearing gifts.” When still water gets deep it isn't always sate to try to find the bottom unless you are certain of your safety appliances. Somehow it always seems as if woman's rights, judged, by the campaigns made for them, consist In a recitation of woman's wrongs. For keeping tbe balance a good pair of eyes are Immeasurably to be preferred to either a microscope or a telescope. BormoNiA: Your grocer has Gold Medal Flour. Gkxevxa.
