Accepting the Inevitable.
A man is known by the manner in
Which be accepts the inevlta1 e. The
wisest and happiest man la the one
who looks into the foture and discerns
the Inevitable at the greatest distance.
Such a man then goes out, meeta the
Inevitable at (uast halfway, slapa it on
the back, takes It by tie band, en-
velops it with his aura aud asks It to
stay to lun <b
The niisertble of earth are those who
are continue lly try mg to dodge the in-
evitable, Perhaps they shat their eyes
when they hear that it is expected, or
■ftanUmca they Jump into bed and pull
the clothes over their heads. The mad-
houses are full of people who have
quarreled with the inevitable so much
■ that neither polite .octety nor impolite
.will have anything more to do with
them. Some of them wilt not admit
that there ta. such a thing as an inevita-
ble even after it has come and gone.
The first lesson parents should teach
their children is (hat whenever any
one wante to give them the Inevitable
they should accept It!>< tauter.—Life.
First Conquest #f the Matterhorn.
The formidable peak kuown as the
Matterhorn long remained uuconquer-
•d. No less than eight attempts were
made by Edward Whymper alone.
The ninth was successful, but was
marred by a terrible catastrophe.
While 'b'scendlng, soon after leaving
the summit, Hadow, one of the party,
■lipped, dragging four others with
him. The remaining three were well
placed and managed to save them-
selves by bolding (irmly to the rocka.
The race between them, however,
broke, and they saw their unfortunate
comrades disappear over the edge, to
fall the depth of one mile to the gla-
cier below. This was two generations
ago. Now scarcely a summer day
passes In times of peace when a dozen
mountaineers, men and women, do not
reach Its summit.—National Geograph-
ic Magazine.
The Templars,
The order of the Templars was or-
ganized about the year 1118 for the
purpose of protecting pilgrims on their
way to the Holy Land and back. The
founder of the order Is supposed to
have been Baldwin II.. king of Jeru-
salem. For a long time the Templars
was the most highly honored organ-
ization in Europe, but Jealousy on the
part of the sovereigns, coupled with
their desire to get hold of the great
wealth of the Templars, caused the
persecution of the order, which finally
(about 1308i resulted in its practical
extinction. The order was abolished
in 1312.—New York American.

This Is the sort of conversation one
overhears between newly married cou-

Him—Oh, I'm tired of hearing about
your brother Bob! Shut up about him!
One would think he had all the manly
virtues.

Senator Willard Saulsbury of Del-
aware, recently chosen president pro
tempore of the United States Senate,
succeeding the late Senator Clarke of
Arkansas. His selection was pertly
due to the fact that Senator Ollic
James of Kentucky withdrew from
the race. The senator is a member
of the democratic national committee
from Delaware, aud he was active in
the western headquarters of the com-
mittee during the presidential entn-
paigu. _ _ _

cerned. he is gone from us for ail
time to come.
Ho was a loyal and faithful Wood-
man and we will miss tla> presence
that was ever helpful and iicucticial
to us all. It: Is hard to say the fare-
Svdl word, but realizing that an All-
Wise Providence sliH|ies and guides
the destiny of man. and that while
His mandates are inexorable and be-
yond tile com prehension of our finite
minds, we feel that they are ever just
and are always best for HI* children
whom He loves and therefore, we, the
members of this lodge of Woodcraft,
bow in bumble submission to the will
of Him who glvetli ami who taketb
away.
Now, therefore, we, your committee,
beg to offer the following resolution:
Whereas, In the deatli of Sovereign
Cole. Sherman Camp No. 0. W, O. W„
has lost a wise and valued counsellor,
the membership a loyal and loving
friend ami the City a citizen whose
example in life was ever worthy of
limitation and,
WheVcmv^e. .deeply deplore (ho
sorrow that grl|is the hearts of his
friends and loved ones, still we can-
not hut feel that our loss has lieen
his gain, for the life he load jnul the
faith that filled his heart, justifies
til? belief and knowledge that in de-
parting tills life lie went to that land
where there abides eternal i>eiice and
everlasting joy; where suffering and
heartadies nre never known and
where there are no more partings and
no more tears. We in reality should
not grieve for our deiwrted friend,
since we know that Ids happiness and
contentment Is secure through nil
time and eternity.
Now. therefore, be it resolved by ills
ass:watte sovereigns that we not only
iKteiiil to ids bereaved and grief-
stricken family our sympathy, teem-
ing with love's tenderest solicitude,
hut the assurance that it is our wish
that we lie permitted to mingle our
tears with their tears, since their
sorrow is our sorrow, too.
Be it further resolved, that*we keen-
ly feel tile loss of the noble spirit
who for so many years ably assisted
in guiding the affairs of this lodge,
which he loved so well and Hint in*

resident of McAlester for several
years, placed a single-barreled shot
gun to ills head and ended his life.

and found him lying on the floor with
the side' of ills head torn away and
tlie lower jaw shuttered from tlie ef-
fects of a charge of shot which had
entered Ills face, between the temple
and ear. Neighbors were called in.
