Her Opinion In Full.

The car turned sharply around a
curve and the tall man who was hold
ing on to a strap somewhat loosely was
suddenly thrown from his upright po-
sition with force that landed him in
the lap of dignified dowager sitting
near him. while his high silk hat flew
from his head and rolled down the aisle
of the car
''Sir, she said as he rose to his feet
again with profuse apologies, ~ am
compelled to say that in my judgment
you were lacking in that complete
grasp of the strap which was essential
to the highest efficiency in maintaining
an upright attitude when turning a

The IrrepressibIe Small Boy.

This is true story. and it really hap
pened in New York family. 1t looks
as if it might be an old story brought
up to date or renovated for the occa-
sion. but it is exactly as the small boy
arranged it and not to the edification
of his family. The small boy was very
fond of ice cream. 1t never cloyed his
palate. 1t was with the same delight
that he saw it each time brought on the
table, and upon each of these times he
showed the exuberance of his feelings
by crying in rapturous tones; "Oh-o-ol
Ice creaml Ice cream Ice creamr
much to his mamma s annoyance.
People will think we never have ice
cream or anything else to eat. " she said
to her son one day. Now, we are going
to have company to dinner tonight. and
/ don't want you to say word when
the ice cream is brought on" The small
boy promised. He really was a good
little boy. and he intended to mind.
But when the cream was brought on
the old feeling of rapture was so strong
that he forgot entirely and cried out
as usual Then he remembered and stop
ped short, locking very repentant. He
had not intended to call out. and his
mother was mortified. He changed his
tone entirely:
1--WE have ice cream almost every
night. he remarked carelessly. New

To Sprinkle with OIL.

The ARDMoREITE recently gave
notice that Mr.. Ball our street

Worth investigating the matter of
using crude oil for sprinkling pur-
poses in lieu of water. and that he
had written to parties in Corsica
ma as to cost, etc: He has re-
ceived reply which we herewith
publish for the benefit of all con-
cerned:
Corsicana, Tex, Sept. IL.
S. S. Ball, Esq, Ardmore, l. T.
Dear Sir-Answering your favor
of Sept. 7th we can quote you at
present on fuel oil used for street
sprinkling purposes 20 cts. per
barrel of AZ gallons in tank car
bulk. In barrel lots 2 q cts. per
gallon with cost of package and
drayage added which amounts in all
to about So so per barrel, all f. o.
b. Corsieana. We have no rates
to Ardmore, but have asked the
railroad to quote and when received
will advise you.
This oil has come into general
use and is proving so satisfacto-
ry in results and price that there
can be no longer any doubt about
its being the thing for cities of the
southwest where streets are sub
ject to long drouths. high winds
and dust and we will be pleased to
have you give it a trial. Yours

Men are hard to satisfy. They
are always trying to do or undo
something that they are not salts
fed with. In the West they are
getting up a scheme for irrigating
millions of acres of land that lacks
water to make it productive, and
in the East they are draining
swamps to get rid of the water to
make the land arabic. In North
ern Indiana ditch is now being
dug twenty miles to drain a vast
tract of land, which will be worth
million or more when it can be
cultivated.
