No man is more cheated than the selfish man Beech er. Many Wonder. Many wonder why it is that pin worms and stomach worms fet into little children, or how a , tape worm 800 feet long can pet In and exist and graw inside of a man, as it sometimes happens.

Hrlwtol Courier. Oklahoma nnd India Tern tory are knocking for admis sion into the great Sister hood of States. They deserve reccgnition at the proper tune and that time is not far distant. ' They aregrowingmorennd moreearh day. Their populn tion is increasing more rapid ly thun that V any ofher part of out great country. Fortunes are awaiting those who are willing to abide their time. Each territory is jnst a lit tle less in square miles thar the State of Tennessee. Sepn ratelj'they will be still great er. Some of the newspapers over the country are advoea ting the union of thse two Territories under the name of Jefferson, the father of the Louisiana Purchase. It is true that he deserves all the honor his country can pay him, nnd if those two territo ries are admitted separately it would be well to name one of them for this preat states man, nut Oklahoma should never be changed. It is the prettiest name in all the list that can be given to a State. It is one of those beautiful words that belong to the ver nacular of the great Ameri cans. . Go to any part of our land and wherever the Indi ans have lived ,rou will find their names the most beauti ful, That race is becoming extinct rapidly enough, and we can do nothing more ap propriate than keep the name of Oklahoma. It is true there are other States with typical Indian names, butnonemore beautiful than, this. Our insti tates are searching every where for Indian relics. It will not be long before the tribes of the Red Men will be very few, and then we will search for the relics of their language. Much of the beau ty of Longfellow's poetry is in the melody of .the Indian names. Our business rush has changed our language each da. The English language will be the universal lan guage. It may be many years before that time comes, but it is sure to coma. It is thedu ty of all English-speaking people to aid iu building the greatest language of all the ages. To do this, no country can afford to lose the poetry and irs art. We should cling to the fragments of thut great language that was lor med in freeoom. That nation that is freest is sure to speak most of liberty. That lan guage that has had its birth and development and growth in the wild wood is sure to hola t he melody of the stream, the ripple of its rivers and the roar of its ca tat acts and will ever be fragrant with the perfumes of pansies and the aroma of the rose. Wh want a language so strong that philosophy can always ex press its truths, so broad that all nations can use it, and so simple that every child can understand its men ning; a lanpnape for the sim plest melodies and the grand est orations. Is Memory of II amy Pearson Tho subject of this sketch was bom in Alexander coun der county, N. G, July the 28th, 1816; died at his home in Boone Feb. 25, 1902, ag ed 85 years, 6 months and 27 days. He was married to Rebec ca Mitchell, to whom was burn five sonsand twodaugh ters, all of whom, save one, tirp still living. - Brother Pearson professed religion and joined the Bap tist church at Little River, and was baptized by the Rev. Jacob Crouch, having lived a member of the church for 52 years, ever honoring the cause of his profession; being a member of the Flat Top church at the time of h i s death. Uncle Harvey, as we called him, wis well known by us all and highly respected as a Christian. He raised hisfami ly by hard labor and honest dealings with his fellow men. One by one are the old vet- 1 11a. erans Deing called to ans wer the roll call on high, lea ving a vacant seat at church nnd an empty chair around the family fireside. Oh, how we miss our loved ones; how often we seem to await their return, but they come not. The writer of this sketch has lived a near neighbor to Mr. Pearson for a number of years, has known him since before the late war, I have talked to him about his hope of life beyond the sky. He ex pressed himself as being rea dy when the death angel should come for him. He told me but a short time before his death that he would soon be high up in heaven where sickness, pain and death nev ercomes., I therefore would say to the children and rela tives not to grieve for him. but let us rejoice in the hope that we will meet him again to part no more in the realms of immortal bliss, and ever bask in the smiles of a loving Savior.

Hamp ton and Tuskagee Institutes Rishop Potter, of Ni Y., per haps the most prominent di vine in the United States, de clared that the main thing which divides the negro from the white man is 'the lack of culture. He also emphasised the fact that after President Roosevelt entertained Book er Washington at dinner, he telegraphed the president as follows: "I congratulate yon upon your guest. He was a guest at my table last win ter, and I never entertained i worthier one." "Some how or other," con tinned the Bishop, "My mes sage became public, and since that time I have received nn merous letters from the peo ple South of the Mason and Dixon line, entreating me not to show myself in their neigh borhood as their people had no desire to entertain me." This utterance by Bishop Potter will be read with great amazement and sorrow by nil intelligent people in the South. Such expressions show that he is entirely ignorant ol the characteristics of the negro race. We cannot be lieve that he is malicious to wards the South or that he wishes white peopleof the An glo Saxon race in the South a future less noble, honora ble and useful than he wishes the people of his race in the North and West. We must presqme, therefore, that his utterances are inspired by sympathy and zeal for the negro. If the views expressed ,by Bishop Potter are to be adop ted by leaders of public senti meat in the North, their . use fulness in helping the South ern negro will be at an end. The Roosevelt-Booker Wash ington dinner has already done more to weaken the in fluence of Booker Washing ton in the South and retard his work than all other caus es combined that have here tofore opposed him. There is no safety for the South except in the separa tion of the rnces. Southern statesmen know this and rc opnizeitin seeking to main tain its loftv idealsof Individ ual character intelligence and physical vigor, which haveso distinguished tha people of the Southern States for three centuries. The unlettered white mau understands it and manifests it, even violent in his prejudice, against the negro. Even the negro under stands it, nnd if let alone he Clerk's Wise Suggestion. "I have lately been much troub led with dyspepsia, belchuip nnd Hour stomach," writes M. S. Mead, leading pharmacist at At tleboro, Mass ' I could eat hard ly anything withoutsufferirigsev eral hours. My clerk suppested I try Kodol Dyspepsiacnre which I did with moat happy results. I have had no more trouble and when one can po to eating mince pie, cheese, candy and nuts aftr such a time, their digestion must lie pretty good. I endorse Kodol Dy8yeps'ia cure heartily."

They were born among negroes, reared among&ne groes and have lived among negroes. He should advise with them belore expressing sucn raaicai views in ms ig- norunce and in his unwise zeal. He. and menlikehim nre today the worst enemies of thejiegro race. If their num ber should increase and their power extend if, in short, their views should prevail, it would be impossible for the negro to live in tne Koutn, his fate would bedeportation or extermination. The South cannot be help ed either with advice or with money or with legislation by men who hold these views. a Printer surprised. ' I never was so much surpns ed in my life, as 1 was with the result of Chamberlain's Pain Halm," says Henry T. Cook, pressman of the Ashe ville (N. U.) Gazette. "I con tracted a severe zase of iheu matisni early last winter by tsethng my tept wet. 1 tried several things for it without benefit.

'Wefear ed he would die, but a few doses of One Minute Cough Cure quick ly relieved hi ni aui he went to sleep. That's the last we heard of the croup, Now, isn't a couph cure like that valuable?
