We. Should DO when CArss AssAA1.
when l was a boy" said the
middle aged man, 1--WE used to have
a song about driving dull care
away dare say that children are
singing the same song today. 1t was
a good, cheerful, lively song, and we
used to sing it in school, but, as
remember things, this song must
have been sung more az q preventive
than as a cure because we didn't
have any care in those days We
used to sing the song without any
adequate notion of what care was.
We used to gallop through it in the
cheeriest sort OF way possible.
80 dull care Ii brand that nev-
er disturbed me In the least. It Is
associated in my mind with youth,
with a period of life when actually
didn't know what care was and
when I laughed at it, rs I did at ev-
erything else, and can laugh at
dull care now, or smile at IL any
way.
1.-The first kind of care that I ever
struck that did disturb me was of
the brand known as 'carking care.
This is a pretty sandpapery sort,
very different from dull care. and
when a man finds 'carking care oom-
ing his way he wants to shunt It OF
at any cost.
"And the same may be said of the
various other brands of care that
one may encounter as he goes
through life, which may be well
known, staple brands, such as car
be found anywhere if a man is look
ing for care or which may be cares
peculiar to the man or his situation,
but, of whatever brand they may
be, common or special, shunt 'em
off.
Care never helped any man. A
sense of responsibility is one thing
that's just enough good ballast tc
hold a man steady, but oppressive
care is quite another thing and onC
that never did anybody any good. Il
Overloads and hampers him.
Throw it overboardl You can Dc
twice as well without it, do twice a!
much work and earn twice as mucl
money, to say nothing of being
blessed with a far keener enjoyment
of life. New York Sun.

JUDGE ALLEN SMALLEY, tenn
porary chairman of the Ohio
Democratic convention, in tax
ing the chair, said in part: IF
the Philippine islands are not
capable of self government, we
do not want them as a part of
the United States. If they are
capable of self government, we
do not want them as depend
ency, bound to us by golden
bonds, but as an Independent
sister republic. The spirit and
genius of democracy were pres
ent at the birth of this grandest
republic of the world and of the
ages. and they have attended
every step of its wonderful pro
gress and development. Its
first great apostle was Thomas
Jefferson, It's latest great eX-
FOUNDER and leader is the peer
less Bryan. The spirit of dem
ocracy meets alike the political
necessities of the highest as
we'll as the lowest conditions OF
mankind. 1t is the natural
enemy of tyranny. despotism
and MOI. opoly. 1t is the safest
conservator of liberty, labor
and property. 1t is the senti-
ment of freedom. of equal
rights and of equal obliga-
tons"

GENERAL MILES is thoroughly
disgusted with the way the war
in Cuba has been conducted by
Secretary Alger and his depart
ment. He is talking out in
plain words. aud he has the
high officials at Washington
jumping all sorts of ways. An
investigation of the conduct of
the war is demanded, which il
is believed will reveal startling
sensations. Somebody should
be held responsible for the way
the soldiers were treated al

That Sulphur Picnic.
To the Ardmoreite.

To the Ardmoreite.
The 25th of August was the day
fixed for the great event of the sea-
son at Sulphur-the high dive. 1t
had been published far and near that
the event would certainly come to
pass. That q man could dive 80 feet
into 2s inches of water and live to
dive another day was not believed; /;
but he did and hundreds of people
will hold up their hands and testify
to 1t.
At 80 Prof. johnson of Hargrove
College addressed the people on the
subject of education and was listen
ed to with marked attention. He
was followed by Judge Johnson, of
Paris, Tex, who spoke on various
subjects. He criticised severely the
utterances of Rev. Sherwood in his
sermon at Sulphur; this called for q
defense by some one present. The
discussion was getting interesting,
Judging by the way the crowd press
ed toward the speakers. Just at this
iuncture the Converted Jew"
Rev. Barnard asked the privilege of
making q few "feeble remarks" !"
His pointed talk and funny anec-
dotes soon got everybody to laugh
ing and the ''late unpleasantness"
was soon forgotten. This was in the
afternoon and the people were
hungry, but never a sight of the pic
MIC did they get. Hungry and tired
the scribe wended his way toward
the nearest railroad station and
bought ticket for the city of Ard
more, where the people never get
hungry and the weary get rest. The
next picnic" at Sulphur will be an
nounced in these columns in due
time, for the last one adjourned sine

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrh9a accompanied by
vomiting. 1 gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for a physician and it was under his
care for a week. AT this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were con-
vinced that unless it soon obtained
relief it would not live. Chamber

Oldes. Wooden Building In the world

Oldest Wooden Building In the World-
In ST. Nicholas Miss Ida Tigner
Hodnett writes of 1.-THE Little Jap
anese at Home" Miss Hodnett
says:
The old castles which were the
homes of the daimio princes were
built of stone, but these, too, were
constructed so as to offer as little
resistance as possible to earthquake
shocks. The walls slant from the
baee to the roof and are supported
within by immense timbers, the in
ward slope itself being a safeguard
against danger from earthquakes.
Buildings erected according to the
japanese idea of what is necessary
to give security against earthquakes
have stood for centuries. Some wood
on pagodas of great height are
known to have been in existence for
700 years, and the old wooden mu-
scum at Nara, in which are pre-
served the mikado's rare treasures
of ages, is fully 1900 years old.
This is a large, oblong building
made Of logs of keaki (kee-ah-kee),
a reddish brown wood, put together
in the log cabin style, and it is sup
ported merely on wooden legs rest
ing upon loose stones, as in the case
of the ordinary house described
above. No part Of the building has
been renewed except the roof, and
this has been put on only three
times. The present roof is made OF
tiles and is about $50 years old. This
is In all probability the oldest wood.

The city council is endeavor-
ing to formulate code OF laws
that will give Ardmore a stable
and efficient city government.
Of course all those laws will
not meet the appreciation of
every one. Some of them Will
be seriously censured and their
authors unkindly judged and
their motives impugned. That
is to be expected. All that any
set of men can do is to dis
charge the duties imposed upon
them fearlessly and honestly,
and to the very best of their
ability. The city council is not
infalible. No body of men is.
They will make mistakes,
doubtless, but their aim is to
give us a clean and efficient
government, and encourage a
good class of people to move
among us and invest their
means here and aid in building
up the town. Every citizen OF
Ardmore should stand by them
and council with them as to the
best methods and means Of &C,
complishing the greatest good
for the city and people.

THE Daily Oklahoman thus

The Daily Oklahoman thus
comments upon the action of
the Oklahoman Republican
convention: 1.-The republican
resolution denouncing trusts of
every kind and the wheat trust
in particular is ridiculous in the
extreme. The idea of the re-
publicans opposing trusts of
any kind is laughable in the
extreme. The whole party is
the mother of trusts and has
fostered every trust that has
lived in America since the idea
of trusts originated"

OF the United States to take the entire

assume such proportion of the Philip
pine debt as has been spent for the
benefit of the Islands in public works

was presented by the American peace
commissioners at the meeting of the

The proposition sets forth that the

of the Philippine debt which has been

OF naval and military operations to quell
the lnsurrections of the natives, but are
willing to become responsible to Spain
for certain sum of money equal to the

Philippines for the advantage of the
