Baritone Lawrence Sibbett will make himself a flat, broad nose next season. He will clap on a kinky black wig, cork hi. face. He will wear scarlet breeches, light blue coat, patent leather boots, brass spurs and swagger importantly around, showing off his pearl-handled revolver loaded with five ordinary bullets and a special silver one. All of a sudden he will hear the distant beat of tom-toms, 72 to a minute and he will start supposedly into a forest, spend his first bullet at thick of night on formless, brightwood creatures who will mock him. His second bullet...
...this show he got most of his wide publicity." And Pickett died in Kay County, Okla., though the ranch covers a part of Noble and Kay Counties. Today I received a picture of Bill Pickett and the following poem written by Col. Zack T. Miller all included in a leather bound covering: OLD BILL IS DEAD Old Bill has died and gone away, Over the "Great Divide." Gone to a place where the preachers say Both saint and sinner will abide.

Here were three others helping a fourth decide between a crook necked and a straight stemmed. And there alone was one in a suit of tweed who gazed in silence at a loaded case lost in rapture and musing upon the greatness of a god that could think of such a wood...
...early rounds, 16 ping-pong tables were set up in the Waldorf ball room, with eight feet of free space behind each. Most of the contestants wore leather-soled shoes because rubber ones gripped the carpet and made it slide. They wore blue shirts, to improve the background. One S. A. Hamid, a Hindu, got his picture taken because he wore a picturesque beard, but he was soon beaten. Only 10% of the players used the old-fashioned penholder grip. Their rackets were faced with rubber, not sand or wood. The peculiar patter of the balls sounded like a storm...
