Superb Showing. MILLINERY at Every Price. Stunning models at $7.50, $10, $15 One of the best comments on our full showing of millinery came to us from a well known out-of-town patron. "What appealed to me most in your millinery," she said, "was the practical nature of every hat. They do not ap pear a bit fussy or gaudy and the colors are superb. You show such an assort ment of them, too particularly - in street hats." The hats at $7.50, $10 and $15, with the in-between prices, represent some of the most clever ideas ot our own ar tists as well as adaptations from foreign models. Extraordinary millinery at ordinary prices is our aim. The Smart & Silberberq Co. OIL CITY, PA.

' Guthrie, Okla., Oct. 1. In the cot ton fields of Oklahoma this year no less than four races of men white, black, red and yellow and flea na tionalities American, Indian, Mexi can, African and Japanese are work ing almost side by side, while the crop Is being gathered more promptly than usual, because of the introduction of lew labor. The Japanese are the latest cotton picking recruits, and Oklahoma Is the first cotton-growing state to experi ment with them. Thus far they have proved satisfactory, and they will be used next season also for tending and hopping the crop as well as picking It, thus to a degree supplanting ne groes. Of course, the colored people are best pickers, hut they have given much trouble In the past. Of the In dians, the Arapnhoes and Cheyennes have done the best. Five years ago pickers could be em ployed for as low as 75 cents a day and board, whereas now, If hired by the day, the price is $1.25 and hoard, and in rush seasons, the price goe high ns $2. Negroes as a rule prfr to pick by the hundred pounds, from 7S cents to $1 per hundred being the price, and rapid pickers make $3 and $1 per day.

He sent samples to the United States govern ment geologists for examinati ani has received their report, which coin cides with his own.

A Russian grand duke, finding himself with a few days t spnre In Paris, went one evening t the theater, and being a person of Importance, thought himself bound to send a bouquet to the principal actress, says II Rise. A month after ward, being In the anme apartment, his servant announced that a iBdy wished to see him. Going to the room he found an unknown lady betor him. "I am afraid your highness doe not recognize me," she said. "I am Mnrlnultn, an actress, and I hav come to thank you for your kind at tentions." "I recognize you now, nindam,' replied the duke, "but I think yon ar mistaken. I only sent you one bouquet." "Hut it wns your servant who brought them each evening," she sold. Accordingly the servant wa called, and eventually, with much confusion, he suld to his master: "When I took tho first bouquet. your highness, the lady gave me a tip of five francs, and as the bouquet cost, only forty sous I made three franrs over It. So I repeated the per formance, with the same result each time. I pray your highness' pardon." No Polltlcinn. Politician You don't seem to akf- much Interest In politics.

The late Charles Hodson, Chief Herk of the American Embassy In 'ondon, served under eight Anierl :an Ministers under Lowell, Welsh, 3ayard, Hay and so on.

If had all Lowell's books with auto .ra.i'.i Inscriptions, and he would -.run: to many stories of Lowell' ;nlck wit. "At a dinner I once heard him ay hat Lowell was travelling on a Med terranrnn steamerwhen a shabbyold nusician took out a fiddle one eren ng after dinner and prepared to na'.;e a few pennies by playing a un? or two. "A little American girl stood be- iide Mr. Lowell. Watching the mu ilrian, she said: " 'Why does he put a handker :h!of under his chin like that when ie plays? Is he afraid of soiling hi collar?' " No, my dear," said Mr. Lowell, lie Is afraid of soiling his violin.' " Knew the Difference. A certain major general In the British Army took a great Interest. In the subject of compulsory education, and would frequently pay a visit to the village school, which was situ ted near his country seat. One day he had been ulvlnir them a brief sketch of the lines of some famous generals. "Boys." he concluded, "vou nil know the great George Washington was a general. Perhnns vou nlsrt knew I am a general. Now. can anvi one tell me the difference between! George Washington and myself?' "I know, sir." answered a vminz- iter at the hack of the room. "Well, what 1ft the difference? Speak up, my lad," said the general. George Washington couldn't tell a He, sir," shouted the boy In exult ant tOIICB. It Happens Every Night.

Sclplo Nnslcn derived his name from his prominent olfactory organ, nnd Alexander the Great and Cardinals Wolsey nnd Hichellou all had largo noses. On the medals of Cyrus and Artaxerxes their noses came clear out to the rim of the coin. Washington's was the true aquiline type, Indicative of firmness nnd patience, ns was the nose of J ill Inn Caesar. Mohammed had n singular nose. It was so curved that a writer has told us that the point of It seemed continually striving to Insert Itself between his Hps. The noses of Franklin, Shakespeare uml Ir. John sou nil had wide nostrils, betokening strength nnd love of thought. The nose of Napoleon was exquisitely though (Irmly chiseled, lie often said, "(Jive me a man with plenty of nose:" Fred erick the Great had so large n nose that Ln vn tor offered to wager that blindfolded he could tell It among 10, 00O by merely taking It between his thumb nnd foretlnger. ThrI"lrTlm lluxxrtl Kor IriKlrlxmilin The following story Is tohl of the music of the overture to "A Midsum mer Night's Iireiim:" While Mendels sohn was deep In the making of this same fine overture he went riding one day with n friend. In order, after awhile, to rest their horses the twe boon companions dismounted and stretched themselves out under the shnde of a great tree. Suddenly there came an excited "Hush!" from the great composer, who half it rose very cautiously. A large tly was buzzing over them, and Mendelssohn was anx ious to catch the true sound of the In sect's bum as It gradually drifted far ther nwny. Many days later when the overture hail beeu completed the iirtlst called his friend's attention to that passage In progression where the vio loncello modulates In the chord of the seventh of the descending scale from B minor to F sharp minor. "There, that's the tly that buzzed past ns at Schonhansen," said Mendelssohn. CriiKlihiK n Critic. School superintendents In Now York among their many duties are expected to report on the personality of the teachers In their district. It Is not al ways easy to get "a line" on that qual ity of n teacher, so many are lenient In the work. One of the superintendents, however. Is never Niitlslied until he has made the test for orderliness by asking the teacher to open his or her desk. One day he found one of his fair sub ordinates with things In great confu sion. She was evidently violating heaven's lirst law. "My dear," said he to the blushing delinquent, "I don't believe you would make n good housekeeper." The desk closed with n Itnng.
