I,ors Whitworth, who held various
nosts Of honor in English diplomatio
circles. was a kindly, gracious gentle
man as we'll as a wit and man OF the
world. HI had indeed almost measured
swords with Napoleon at the Tuileries
when that despot rallied at England for
not having evacuated Egypt and Malta,
accused her Of having violated treaties
and ended by lourikhing cane danger
ously near the face of the English en-
baesadoT.
Lord Whitworth put his hand on the
hilt of his sword.
"What would you have done if the
emperor had struck your" he was after
ward asked.
"I would have feIled him to the
ground" was the quiet answer.
Perhaps the best story told of him Is
one showing how his quick wit disposed
of a rival. When he was as the Russian
court, Fox sent there as > sort OF en-
hassador of his own a man named Adair,
the son Of surgeon.
One day the empress, speaking in
French, said to Lord Whitworth:
sis he a very important man, this
NJ. Adair?'
"Not SO very, madame" replied Lord
Whitworth, although his father was q
grand saigneur." a remark which read
ers of French will recognize as very
good pun, for the word as used by Lord
Whitworth means "blood letter, while
by its sound it also meant a great lord.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
To the Ardmoreite:


Here your Christian work must be-"
On returning yesterday from, to
me, the sweetest of missions, my
sense was awakened to the great
need of public schools In each
home / visited, were children bright
and promising and yearning with
childish longings to do as other
children do-go to school. One
little one was trying to spell out
his lesson aloud; others were
choping under indoor confinement
nothing to do; no books to study
no money to buy. l said, oh, if
our big souled people of Ardmore
would all unite and determine up
on an immediate action, all these
little ones would be, not only
clothed fed and peted, but schooled
besides. AS our dear CO. worker
has suggested-let US at once mat
enalize an orphans home and pub
lie schools for white and
black, for Coz is no respecter of
persons, and a proper training of
the colored mind will mitigate to a
great extent that feeling of uncon-
sciOus and conscious antagOnlsm
and rebellion inherent in the col
ored race. thereby making of them
more useful and law abiding citi-
zens-will aid in solving the
troubles that now are perplexing
the Conscientious thinker.
What a grand law is enforced in
some of tthe old countries. Their
children are compelled to go to
school until is laid a solid founda
ton for business men and women,
thereby greatly depopulating peni-
tentiaries and prison houses. Sure
ly there can be some way devised,
and soon, by a humane govern
ment or individual assessment by
which to support this most neces-
sary achievement. Even though a
Territory, could not our town S
statesmen" lobby a wee? Now,
don't smile, for l am as ignorant
of those things as a pig is of holi-
days. We want free schools by
some fair means!
l beg of you, fathers and moth
ers, business men and women of
Ardmore, to wake up to our great
need-a free education for all our
children, especially the poor; and
a home to shelter and nurture
those poor little friendless ones,
whose early training often decides
their destiny. Some may say,
Wait till we see our titles. f" PRO
crastination is the thief of time"
Not only from a religious stand
point will we enhance our treas
ures, but from a business stand
point also, for families will flock
into town where its citizens are
sufficiently progressive to material
ize and further the public school
system. A MOTHER.
