Prof. C. U. Gordinier, head of

From the Enid.OklahomaEagle,
we learn that on the 29th of J une,
Miss Elizabeth Porter was mar
ried to Mr. G. F.Graff at the
home of her aunt, Mrs. George
Mayberry, In Enid. Miss Porter
is a daughter of the laXe Associ
ate J udge Jeremiah Porter, who
several years ago owned and
lived on the farm now owned by
Ex-SherifT Frank Mason just
west of the Borough limits.
D. B. Zimmerman, of Homer
set, is a farmer on a big scale.
Jle has somewhere between 7,000
and 10,000 head of early cabbage
and au equal amount of later va
rieties. Harvesting cabbage on
the Fourth of July is something
new la tint section of the country
where cabbage as a rule rarely
matures before September. Col
onel Zimmerman's potatoes could
not look more promising, and
from the sissa of the patch, 100
acres, he.han out, it would seem
that he should have enough tu
tiers to supply all the country.
I.. i.- n r i.
i junn n. uwisjii,
john B. Gough, perhaps the
m.t eloquent and able temper
anceVdvocate that ever lved, was
born at5andgate, England, Au
g.ist22, M817. The castle and
other romantic surroundings
sreatly affected the boy. His
father was a soldier and his moth
er a gentle school mistress.
His parents were poor, and to
better the boy's prospects they
sent him with a neighbor to
America. His mother marked
passages in the Biblo for him to
learn, especially the second,
third, fourth and tilth chapter of
E'roverbs.
He spent two years on a farm
in New York, with no Saobath
school or day school, but joining
the Methodist during a revival.
Seeking advancement, he went
to New York City with only half
a dollar in the world.
Great poverty and many trials,
together with the ability to sing
well and tell funny stories, led
Gough into a life of dissipation.
Ho became a drunkard and an
actor. His first appearance in
Boston was in the play, "Depart
ed Spirits, or the Temperance
Hoax," in which Dr. Lyman
Beecher and other temperance
leaders were ridiculed.
Mr. Gough married, took up
his trade of book binding, but
fell to the most profound depths
of intemperance, knowing all tho
horrors of delirium tremens. At
one time he stood on the railroad
track with a bottle of laudanum
at his lips, and only the moving,
of the Jloly Spirit kept him from
a suicide's grave.
The kind words of a stranger,
Joel Stratton, a waiter in a tem
perance hotel, persuaded Mr.
Gough to sign the pledge. The
demon drink and the stratagems
of saloon men caused him to fall
twice, but he recovered each time,
through the kindness of friends.
He began to speak for temper
ance in a humble way, but his
great ability was soon recognized
aud he becama a temperauce lec
turer, speaking to crowded hous
es all over the United States and
Great Britain. His speaking
combined the richest humor, the
tenderest pathos, the most pow
erful eloquence, the most con
vincing argument.
Bis autobiography and his
"E'ktform Echoes" are among the
strongest temperance books ever
written. After winning many
thousands to a life of t obriety,-he
died, honored by all the world, in
1880.
No one can read Cough's life
without a deepened pity for the
drunkard, and a deepened sense
of responsibility for speaking the
kind words that may save him
from his awful fate. Exchange.

Letter to David Nelson,
McConncllsjiurg, Pa.
Dear Sir: New Orleans Is one
of the cities hard on paint; but
nevertheless, they paint lead and
oil a go-d deal there.
A C Callier painted two houses
last yenr for F llinderer one
lead at.d oil aud the other Devoe.
The first is already in bad con di
tion; Devoe is perfect.
M. Augustin, New Cleans, has
painted his house Devoe three
times in eighteen years. This
shows that Devoe is good for six
years 'there.
In Florida, where lead-and oil
wears only a year, we have no
crm plaint of Devoe and we know
of its wcanfTg ten years in sever
al Instances. vo don't say it
wears ten years, vou know; there
are such instances.
"No complaint" is enough to
say till 've have long time exper
iences; they're coming. Mean
ti me, Devoe is the paint that takes
least gallons, makes least bill,
and wears longest. So much
we're sure of.
Yours truly

Breathe Pure Air.
The comparison of the human
body with the stove or furnace 's
an old one. but serves to indicate
the differing types of food needed
by the outdoor and indoor work
ers. A range with good drafts
and clean chimney gets abundant
oxygen, and thus reduces dense
fuels to ashes without difficulty
and provides ample heat or euer
gy for household processes. But
the same range, when tho outside
air is heavy or the drafts closed
or the chimney clogged with soot,
cannot even dispose of light fuel,
and makes the atmosphere hazy
with smoke and affords no heat
or energy for its accustomed du
ties. i
hen outdoor air and active
exercise enliven all vital process
es, heavy foods are disposed of
without discomfort and, more
over, have the advantage of "stay
ing by," The underdone potato
"wuh a bono m it" has some
times been the choice of half fed
peasants because it was digested
more slowly than if thoroughly
cooked. Even dyspeptics some
times indulge without discomfort
in pie and similar substantial deli
cacies at a picnic on a hilltop.
But the worker indoors, with
little active exercise, must choose
taU food .more carefully. Not
only the kind of food, but its con
dition, must be considered. Ease
of digestion appears to depend
fully more upon method of cook
ing and serving than upon the
original composition of the food.
