Parrot tennis is especially fatal to Oklahoma politicians.
Admiral Schley is looping all the invitations he receives for public receptions.
The thoughts of Judge Merrick just now are centered on the best mode of stuffing a turkey.
It is not necessary for Dave Hill to ask Dick Croker if it hurts. Dave has been there himself and knows.
The open season for Leavenworth convicts is almost as dangerous for the sportsmen as the Adirondack deer season.
The Captain Tilley jag is still being misrepresented by some editors.

The Hon. Bill Phelps, the Missouri legislative specialist, who charges the Hon. Bill Joel Stone, the "plain people" expert, with sucking the eggs and hiding the shells, announces his intention of giving violent battle to the Stone senatorial ambition. There is surely going to be something doing in Missouri.
Enid Wave: The Kingfisher single statehood convention called for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Muskogee convention, which meets today, sat down on ex-Governor Seay quite hard last Saturday.
