LAST NIGHTS PLAY.
A Splendid Success in Every Respect
Crowded House.

"The Lightning Rod Agent" was in
his glory at the opera house last
night. OF course he was not alone
for he is never in his native element
when communing with himself. lie
was ably supported by the best anne
teur home talent in the Indian Terri
tory.
By the above Introductory we
mean the benefit rendered Myrtle
Lodge No. z of Ardmore conducted
by Mr.. and Mrs. O. NJ. Steelsmith
ably assisted by the following we'll
known ameteurs of Ardmore: Messrs.
Joe. NJ. London. j. r. Chitwood, w.
E. McKelvey and w. r. Roberts,
Mesdames Golledge, Barry and Camp
bell aud Miss Sadie Bush 1t would
never do TO leave Master Clifton
Steelsmith unmentiOned for he was
there in full force and to the delight
of the audience which filled the house
to almost overfowing.
The SEeelSmiths are up to their busi-
ness. Mr.. Steelsmith as the lightning
rod agent captured the audience
while his wife, as Vixie Vaughan
brought forth much creditaple ap-
piause. 1t is impossible to do justice
10 the support in short article but
suffice it to say they acquitted them
selves in a most highly creditable
manner. Mrs. Barry's music was
superblY rendered. Mrs. Campbell
sang with her usual magnificent mel.
ody, Joe. NJ. London as the villain
was u roaring success, Miss Sadie
Bush, as the wronged orphan, canno
be too highly complimented for thC
splendid manner in which she 81
fOrcibiy brought out the points of til,
character she represented. Mrs.
M. Gol!edge, as the house-keeper
acted we'll her part. j. r. Chitwood
as the drunken tool, made some peo-
pie believe he had actually been tax
} iug en the "oh be JOYFUL" w. X
Roberts, as Lawyer Bruce, did vel
and w. E. McKeIvcy, as the accepted
lover, displayed as much feeling a
though his suit was being waged il
earnest.
The attendance was good aud tn
play was highly enjoyed. We hop
our home talent will not cease will
this effort but will pursue a simila
course in the future in another play

 Memorial day in Trumbull is always a quiet one. Although Trumbull fur nished her due share of brave and will ling men, and while they occupied strat- egic points, subject to all the horrors of war, it so happened chat they nearly all came back.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

He that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God and God in him.-[St John.
 The wisest man is not always the best man. If you plant corn, do not expect crop of potatoes. If you plant sin, do not expect a crop of righteousness.
 This world would be a very happy one if everyone did what is right. Why not go home and do it then?
 The man who is sowing his wild oats at 20 will reap harvest of chaff at 50.
 Your neighbor is far better man than you think him to be. Do not blame him for the mistakes of his hens.
 Some folks grumble when the sun shines and then grumble again when it rains. But the earth likes both.
 You can see God in blade of grass if you only look at it through eyes that are lighted by faith and love.-[Karl Hugh.
 what we know about him, that is to de- termine our future life.
 The crookeder a man walks himself, the more he insists upon it that others shall go straight.
 The man who has God to plan for him always does a good days work.
 There isn't poor man in the world who would do rich mans work for the pay he gets.
 If some people had the faith to move mountains they would blockade every road over which their neighbors had to haul their wheat to market Rams Horn.
 If you want your love to God to run smooth, have the channel full, you can have enough to float your whole business though you be heavily freighted with possibilities.
 A quiet life often makes itself felt in better ways than one that the world sees and applauds; and some of the noblest are never known till they end, leaving a void in many hearts, Louisa M. Alcott.
 We should accustom ourselves to self denial and patient waiting; for the blessings that God reserves for His peo- pie are like fruit which will be whole some when it has time to ripen, but will certainly be noxious if greedily and prematurely gathered. Scott.
 A face which is always serene pos sesses mysterious and powerful at traction. Sad hearts come to it as the sun to warm themselves again.
 Work paves the only way leading to knowledge. The way is a long one and the difficulties in it are many, but step by step it can be traversed if labor be the guide.
 You must not only work, but you or der your work with intelligence; you must be preparing the way for what you want to become, as well as do what lies to your hand.-[ Montreal Star.

THE SECULAR PULPIT.
THE SERMON.

My text, beloved, is taken from the sayings of the misanthrope, Fashions make fools of us all.''
 We naturally expect that the misan- thrope will have some sarcasm for us in his Instructions on the ways of the world. But this time he is not only sarcastic but also true. For we do things in the following of fashions, which have neither sense nor reason. Stanley tells us that in Africa the women wear brass collars around their necks three inches high and weighing 30 pounds. They are soldered en so that they shall not get lost and are worn be- cause it is the fashion. Of course it is a foolish custom. But will you tell me, please, of what earthly use are these bird nests of straw and flowers which the ladies wear on their heads in this civilized land? Certainly not for pro- tection for they afford as little protec- tion as the rankest free trader would give to our national products. They certainly are not the acme of beauty as even the ladies themselves admit. The general answer Is, when you ask about 1t, that it is "the style." And can any living man tell why he wears plug hat. If he wants to put on a six foot pipe why does he not take the genuine article and done with it. The only good reason that l can see for plug hat is that if you want to stand a man on his head the hat would make good founda- tion. But our headgear is only the be- ginning of our troubles. Shakespeare says that Fashion wears out more ap- parel than the man." Probably the the dress bill of our country is something appalling, l have read somewhere that we pay $5,000,000 a year for ostrich feathers alone. Certainly we bother with dressmakers and clothiers great deal more than there is actual need of because our clothes wear out. Nor is fashion the rule alone in matters which pertain to what we wear. There are a great many people who are in business | in one line or another for which they have no fitness and they are there be- cause it is the fashion to do something of that sort.
 Farmers raise crops for which their | land is not suited simply because theil | neighbors raise the same crops. It is g pity, but we lack individuality in this world. Every man ought to study his own surroundings and judge for himself as to what he shall raise and how ht shall live and what he shall be. And there are great many men who would
 be better than they are now if the infiu cnce of their neighbors did not drag them down. Let not fashion make { slave of you. Be man who can stand alone in this world. The ease witf
 which we follow fashion is well put 1T
 the following couplet:
 | "Let's cut off our noses,
 Said Aaron to Moses,
 It's the fashion to wear lem,
 | Said Moses to Aaron"

THE CASE OF MIR AcKERMAN,

THE CASE OF MIR ACKERMAN.
 William k. Alderman, who has been the object of newspaper fame for the past year, is improving and seemingly on the road to recovery under the skill ful treatment of Dr Hersey, who pro- nounces his case lactophobia. The symp- toms are the same as hydrophobia The only difference is in the cause. Hy- drophobia is caused by bite and lacto- phobia by excessive heat from the sun. Dr Hersey says it takes an expert to dis tingujsh the difference between the two diseases. On June 23 of last year he was very low with pneumonia, an6 was slowly recovering, when on August 26, the hottest day of last summer, he was out working in the hot sun, when com ing to the house at noon he showed every symptom of hydrophobia, barking and snapping like dog. The combined efforts of the neighbors succeeded in tying him to the bed, till doctor was called to give him relief. For several months he remained in an unconscious state most of the time, having frequent convulsions till Christmas. Since then he has been gradually on the gain, though suffering more or less with pain in the head, spine and nerves. Dr Her sey is now using battery which gives the patient a new action and renewed strength.
