An Adventure with One OF These AnImAls

A correspondent writing from Mecu-

count Of an adventure which be had
with a moose while employed a making
a toboggan trail through one Of the pine
forests in that section Of the country.
While engaged at work he came across n
moose yard and on looking around saw

80 yards distant The story of his en-
counter is perhaps best told in the COR
respondents own words;
"After a moment" he writes, 1.-THE

WHEN MABEL SMILES.

When Mabel smiles. my heart beats high.
A softer azure tints the sky,
And zephyrs sweet fit laughing By,
With strains unheard before,
While look in her peerless eyes
And envy not the rich and wise
Nor heavenward gaze with wistful sighA.
For heaven can yield no more.
When Mabel frowns, the world is dreAF,
Each trembling dewdrop seems tear,
The roses droop in grief and fear
And cease to breathe perfume.
Alas, for me, q mournful swain.
The dismal moments drag in pain,
For who could bear to meet disdain
From lips so full Of bloOmf
When Mabel smiles. my heart is proud.
When Mabel frowns, my heart is bowed,
But be she dark or sunny browed
She reigns my bosOm's queen;
And well she knows who rules in state.
That 10Y and pain must alternate,
And 90 fair Mabel hides my fate,

THE GREAT FIRE.

SUNDAY morning will be the
first anniversary of ArdmOre'
great fire and the ARDMOREITE
will on that date issue an illustrat-
ed edition showing the unparalleled
progress made during the year in
the complete rebuilding on the
ruins left on that eventful morn
ing, Of a more magnificent city.
We had thought and intended to
issue a mammoth souvenir edition
but owing to dull times with the
business men we decided net do so.
Sunday mornings ARDMOREITE
will however contain many special
features of interest including a re-
Wow of the years building progress
which within itself will make a
showing unequaled by any city in
the southwest. We have under
taken this believing it would have
its good results for the whole
people and have gone to consider
able expense in, the way of getting
cuts, employing extra help etc
We will be satisfied if the bust
ness men of ArdmOre will show
their appreciation to the extent of
giving US additional patronage for
that issue sufficient to cover the
increased expense. You can dc
this, help us, and help yourselves
at The same time. You will bt
wa led on tomorrow by a repre-
sentative of this paper and we ask
you as a business proposition to bt
as liberal with us as you con
sistently can.

Working Up q Climax.

As he entered the barber shop Che was
a prominent official of the Duluth road,
very prominent, SO near the top that he
might be described as the top itself), he
sat down i'll the chair and the barber
went to work on his we'll dumed poll.
Tie barber was a cheerful man, fond
of social intercourse and rather prided
himself on his powers as a conversation
ist. So when he felt the head Of the
Duluth official with his taper fingers, he
thought he would astonish and please
him with some conversation and per
haps the official would in turn write ont
q ten years pass on piece Of shaving
soap
So the barber was light and merry,
learned and philosophical by turns, and
was well pleased with the expression
that stole over the officials face, so full
of appreciation was it. He knew that he
would handle a pour boire of a quarter,
if he did not get the pass He was de-
termined to please, and when the official
asked him if he had any cotton handy
the barber said he thought he had He
sent quickly to a store and secured a
small supply of the cotton, and giving il
to the official that gentleman took two
small fragments and put them in his
ears
Then the barber thought of Casey at

FACTS AND FIGURES.

4 CONGRESSMAN LITTLE says that
the Territory courts are unable to
handle the cases that fall to them
under the present jurisdiction.
That is his chief reason for de-
manding the repeal of the com
plete jurisdiction clause. Even if
this be true, how much would be
saved by giving US two more judgesl
1t is estimated that 5000 witnesses
will attend the present term of the
Paris court at an average expense
of $40 per witnsss. This item
alone shows an expense to the gov
ernment of 100000. Add to this
the court expenses, salaries, etc
another 800, ,0O0-and we have
an expense bill of 100000. Fort
Smiths expenses are even heavier.
The total of the courts will ap-
proximate $500,O0O. Even if two
more judges had to be appointed
at salary of $4,000. with the
trials of all cases at home it will be
apparent to the candid reader that
the government would save at
least 100000. These figures are
commended to Congressman Lit

WAS CONGRATULATED ny BLAND
Bryan Resting Quietly After All the
Political Turmoil.


Chicago. July 1.-THE Clifton house,
where Bryan stops was. compared with
last night. very quiet today. The absence
of the politicians at the convention hall
and the departure of many of them
from the city had much to do with af-
fording this immunity from disturbance,
which was a relief to everyone about the
house, If not to its distinguished guest.
The latter was, however given little res
pite from morning until late at night,
for there was constant stream of vis-
itors who would not accept no for an am
swer to their demands for an interview.
Many of those who calle' were person
al friends. and majority of them re-
tired after merely extending their felic-
itations upon the nomination.
Notwithstanding, he did not retire until
a. m. this morning and was the center
of whirling throng from the time the
nomination was announced until he turn
ed the key in his bedroom door finally
for the night. He was up at o'clock
this morning. He spent the day with
Mrs. Bryan in their room, devoting al
most all their entire time to receiving
callers. among whom were many party
leaders, who called to pay their respects
ana tender tnelr aueBldnce. Bryan pam
y showed the effect today of the strain
which the events of the past week have
imposed upon him. He confessed to feel
ing fatigued. and his countenance con-
firmed the statement. He was, however,
| vivacious enough in conversation and he
discussed all questions brought up with
| his wonted vigor

cation beyond asking that Il statement

HIS RESIGNATION WAS ASKED FOR
Resolution Handed to Wallace, but
He PigeOn-HoIed 1t.

He Pigeon-HOIed 1t.
Chicago, July 11.-Dissension in the
Washington delegation broke out again
today while the convention was in prog
ress. Fenton had drawn up paper call
ing on Wallace to resign. He and White
signed it, as did Medill, alternate for
McCroskey. The latter would not have
done so None of the others, either dele
gates or alternates, would affiX their
names. then Fenton handed the paper to
Wallace, when he read the following:
In as much as you are not in accord
with the platform which has been adopt
ed by the democratic national convention,
or with the views of the nominees there
upon on the financial question, you are
most earnestly requested to resign your
position as national committeeman, and
permit the members of this delegation,
who are in favor of the free coinage
of silver, to name some one else in your
place"
| Having read the paper, Wallace coolly
| folded 1t up and put it in his pocket, with
out taking the trouble to signify his in
tentions. Clearly Mr.. Wallace has no in
tention of resigning.
When asked about Ii, he said IL was not
worth talking about. as only two of the
delegates had signed it. on the Other
| hand, Mr.. Fenton thinks the request rep
resents the wish Of the democracy of the
state. and says Wallace will hear plenty
more about 1t when he gels back TO Wash
