A London scene described in the London Onlooker tells how a hostess’s display of salt cellars led guests to pocket the missing pieces. One guest, then another, followed, leaving the hostess in despair as the empty items were noticed. The last guest lacked a pocket, and the owner wept, later receiving a humane note from the forgetful woman requesting the return of the cherished keepsake.

Oklahoma asks admission as a state and reports 398,245 inhabitants with a 10 year gain of 336,411, transforming an Indian hunting ground into a prosperous territory.
