Perry, Okla , September 12.—Ten years ago on the 16th of this month the Cherokee strip was opened toset- tlement. From that section of land there have been six prosperous coun- ties carved—Pawnee, Noble, Garfield, Kay, Grant, ¥ oods and Woodward, comprising the agricultural belt of the terriiory. Within years the de- velopment has been marvelous. Within the limits of the Cherokee strip are now five cities that boast more than 3,000 inhabitants each, and one that boasts 10,000, The agricultural lands bring the highest price of any in Oklahoma and the produce not only wheat, but corr, timothy and clover that will hold} their own with any other state inthe Union, The opening of the Cherokee strip will be celebrated” on ai extensive scale at Woodward, Perry, Evil and Other places, At Perry there will be a three days’ carnival, during which there whill be displays of the products of this rich land. The citizens ot Perry by their vote bave declared Miss Mande Queen shall be their queen of the carnival, She is a typi eal Oklahoma beauty, very popular throughout the territory.

Facts which have been brought out in connection with the state cam- paignin Kentucky are illuminating to the outsider who wonders why feudssurvive in that state, Republi- can newspapers and speakers have been attacking Gov. Beckham forthe freedom with which he has exercised the pardoning power in the cases of men convicted of homicide. The Democratic Courier-Journal of Louis- ville comes to the governor’s defense by comparing his pardoning record with that of his predecessors. The ham has released 10 men convicted of murder and 33 of manslaughter, Gov. Bradley pardoned 72 convicted of murder and 104 of manslaughter, andGov. Brown 45 convicted of mur. der and 101 of manslaughter. It appears, also, that the average term served by the murderers was a little less than nine years. If the slayer is subjecting himeelf to such acompara- tively slight risk, not much greater than that of the ordinary burglar, it is small wonder that human life should be held cheap.

I know all the facts. Last Saturday night you lost $50 playing cards, did you not?” “Yes sir.” “That’s right, myson I’m glad you do not add evasion or falsehood to your other fault. Tell me how you lost this money.” “Well, father, land a friend were playing freezeout—” “Excuse me, but what is freeza- out?” “It’s a game of cards, sir.” “So I suppose, but I know uothing of these dreadful games. The name freezeout does not mean anything to me.” “Perhaps you would recognize the game under the more common title of bluff.” : “No, I don’t know that title.” “The game is also called poker.’ “Oh yes; | have heard of poker. A well known man wrote a book on poker, I believe. I have a slight lit- erary acquaintance with that title.

Go on with your story.” “T saw his twenty-five and raised him five.” “What’s that! Only five?” “Why, father—” “No excuses, sir. Proceed.” “He saw my five and raised me five.” “Yes.” “I saw him and raised him five—” “Idiot!” “Sir.” “Go on, go on!” ’ ” lT He saw my five and raised me fif- teen, and I~” “What did you dot” “Threw my hand in the deck and gave up the pot.” “Blockhead! Didn’t you know it was a rank bluff? That fellow drew to a bob-tail flush and didn’t fill. He knew you hadn’t any sand and start- edin ona bluff. You threw down four jacks? Why, you confounded chump, if I’d held your hand, I’d staid with him till morning. But thank goodness, I don’t know any- thing about the game, and under- stand me, sir, les this be the last complaint I hear about your playing cards.” William promised obedience, and muttering: “Four jacks!
