The above word* w?re recently
uttered in our hearing by a worthy
boy and undoubtedly they are often
reiterated by many who tire out of
employment, or have lit t U*. or noth
ing to do. To ull such we say, you
have home capital, you have bauds,
feet, bone, muscle, health aud are
not these capital? What more cap
ital b4s God given anybody? "Hut
if 1 only had a few thousand in
caab capital," says the young rnau.
1 But these are better than cash cap
ital, for no one can take them from
you, aud With these you can earn
" cash. * / / ' i
Our men of- wealth' and influence
<I1?V, not atart with any cash capital,
They went to work with their plow,
tfae hoe, the jack piane or ax, and
in time their capital brought them a
rich harvest." Ah! but there's the<
rub; you don't want to work. You
want money on credit ho you can
play the gentleman, speculate and
end your career by playing vaga r

you will hoo|i make interest enough
upon it to 'give you as much money
aa you need. If you cannot make
money upon what capital you have,
you could not If you had a larger
amount in cash, if you waste your
present capital you would waste
money if you had It. So don't

you manage your capital that Ood

Newspaper publishers who have
been lax in their "collections will
hp.ve to get buHy and collect from
tneir delinquent subscribers, or pay
a fine to th^ government. They
were notified to do this three or
four years ago, but the postofflce
offlcloln at Washington did not fol
low up the matter closely at that
time and the law was nQt enforcod
strictly. The following order, re
ceived by an Iowa publisher from
the third assistant postmaster gen
eral a few days ago, speaks for It
self: "The right of publishers to
extend in good faith credit on sub
v scriptlons is recognized and will not
be abridged, and although all aub
scriptions are regarded as expiring
with the period for which they were
obtained nevertheless, in order to
give an opportunity to secure re
newals, copies of their publications
will be accepted for mailing as to
subscribers * at the usual second
class rates for postage for a period
of one year Trom the dnto of ejQ>j
ratlon, but copies sent to personS"
after one year from the date of the
expiration of their subscriptions, un
less such subscriptions are expresa

MINMII'AI, OWKKKftHlI'.
My position a* to Municipal Owu
erwblp a* opposed to F^ancbl^ie of
public utilities Is fairly well estab
lished, l think, bat t4> wy surprise,
I wl? approached the other day by
a man of more less prominence aw
? citizen a ud taxpayer, who. in all
seriousness, wanted to know how 1
aloud ou the proposition. My reply
wag prompt and decisive, it wait
naturally a strong expression of pre
ference for Muulcipal Ownership.
My querist however, wa* not sat
isfied, and made the remark "that,
if municipal ownership was uucli a
Kood thin*, why ^as It not incuft)
bent npon tlis authorities . of the
City of Camden to promptly repair
the several breaks in aewer pipes
alofiK certain streets or the city on
which these breaks have occurred.
To this 1 responded that the fault
did not lie in the defects lu Mu
ulcipal Ownership system, but did
lie In the men who bad been en
trusted by the people to carry out
the system.
This, 1 take it, is a fair exposi
tion of the position. For our part,
we can find no excuse for our
street department officials allow
ing mountain* of dirt to lie on Lyt
tlelou street for weeks In the en
deavor to locate a break In a sew
er pipe, other than, that department
was not allowed a sufficient num
ber of hands to reduce the Incon
venience to the public to a mini
mum. Our information Is that at
no time was there, more than a
dozen hands employed in excavation
work, ortener a smaller force, and
a still smaller force ooccupied in
restoring those excavations after the
bre&k had been discovered (or un
covered) and repaired.
I use the Lyttleton street break
merely; as an Illustration. There
are other breaks ln.jroe sewer pipes,
we ure told, that may cause similar
inconvenience and delay unless dif
ferent tactics and methods are em
ployed In their repair.
In any event, ^ don '4- blame Hie
Municipal Ownership system* which
is the correct systtem. Blame the
administration If blame there be,
and if it can be satisfactorily shown
that the administration is blamewor
thy, unseat it, and elect another
that will more nearly carry />ut your
policies. W. A. Sebrock.

Weckeah eloped. They knew
that Comanche Ihw demands a death

Ekitoakup would follow, hot on their
trail to enforce that penalty. So they
rode day and night as fast as-lhey
could urge their wiry ponies, and did
a,gh ? untn tbey w?re
safe Ins the mountain fastnesses of
Scurry County, Tex.
There Quanah and his stolen bride
began ; their wedded life. As they
were still penniless, Quanah led his
rH!n?"?ve y?Ung braves uP?n a se
rips of horse stealing raids into the
grass Country. So rich did the little
and become at this occupation that
other Indians joined them. The
braves returned by etealth to their old
omes and bore to the camp brides of
their own. Soou Quanah was chief of
a tribe several hundred strong Hkl
toakup heard of his whereabouts, but
f?Und h,m 80 Powerful the
old chief wisely consented to aban
don^ his plan of vengeance in return
for the payment of twenty ponies (the
original dower price of Weckeah).
Quanah readily gave him the ponies,
remarking as he did so. "I know7a
ranch whence I can Bteal twenty more
before tomorrow."
Now that he was no more an oitU
law, Quanah returned to the Coman
ches. He made himself chief of the
tribe in whose village house he had
lived as a beggar. There, from a
stronghold in the Wichita mountains,"
he reigned over the Indians for miles
about and grew daily richer and more
powerful. Incidentally, he married^
four more wives. Seeing the folly of
wasting his power in useless warefare
8UITeadered to Gen. McKenaffei
1876 and became a powerful cltw
zen of what was later Oklahoma. Ha'
persuaded the government to give his
tribe good farming lands.
Quanah proudly called himself "the
friend of Theodore Roosevelf?
(whom he accompanied once on a wolf
jiunt), and he often went to Washing
ton on diplomatic errands for his peo^
pie. ?e once even gravely requested
that he be sent to the United States
senate when Oklahoma should become
a state. To white settlers he called*
himself by the seml-clviljzed name Of
' Quanah Parker." He also desired to
