DAP BUBBLES.
Central Church People Divert Themselves
With Novel Entertainment.

About 30 members of the Y. p. S. c. e.

the game being to blow a bubble and

There are two obvious obstacles to

BARRIERS in this state. Five commission

The place where the remains of An
dree and his fellow balloonists are said
to have been found is twelve hundred
miles from anywhere in Siberia, and
months would be required for verifying
the report. The Arctic regions are a

however, and explorers for the most
part seem to think that the Andree re-
port is one of them.

Secretary Gage saws congress mu

Secretary Gage says congress must
pass the army bill, or there will GER
tainly be an extra session. The per-
sistency with which senators and rep
resentatlves stick to their plans for a
summer vacation in Europe should
therefore augur well for the success of
the bill. Mr.. Gage further declares
that currency reform is not dead, but
only waiting for the next congress, and
till other business of more immediate
urgency is disposed Of. He might also
have added that it will have to wait till
the reformers can get together and
agree upon what brand Of reform is
adequate to the situation.

SOMETHING ABOUT PENSIONS.

At the beginning of the late
Spanish war an unpatriotic states
man was heard TO remark that he
did not care SO much for the hor-
rors of war as he did for the hor-
ror of pensions that would follow.
1t has been a matter of some
surprise that the pensions for this
year amounted in the aggregate to
less than the previous year, and
that although many thousands
have been added to the list of pen
sioners, a still larger number have
been carried away by death, and
there were about 1000 fewer pen
sioners than at the end Of the pre-
vious fiscal year.
The pension roll, however, will
be heavy enough, if our forces are
to be employed much longer in the
Philippines, and it is doubtful if
the pension payments will not
again exceed $40, 900, 900. When
it appears that out of Ill, 900
claims flied, $4,000 were allowed
that nine tenths of the applications
of widows were granted, and that
two thirds of those for increase OF
pensions were acted on favorably
it seems difficult to believe that the
present Commissioner of Pensions
can be accused of lack of liberality
But when we find that during the
year 63 attorneys have been dis
barred, 10 suspended and two
dropped, and that the total mum.
ber disbarred is now 1863, we cease
to be surprised at any evidence O.
rapacity and fraud in connection
with our pension system.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-08-20

IT MIGHT have been better if the
United States had not undertaken
to whip the Philippine niggers, but
now that the fun is in progress it is
a very near-sighted person who
recommends our craw- fishing out
of it. Instead of the other nations
of the earth holding their present
exalted opinion of everything
American, we would, provided we
backed out before subduing these
savages, be the worlds laughing
stock.
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1899-08-20

IT NAV be right for some busi-
ness men of Ardmore to seek a free
ride into opulence on the shoulders
of the fellows who spend money
and time to make the acquisition
of wealth a possibility, but it is
dollars to doughnuts that most Of
these never-pnt-up men flop over
in bed more O. nights than their
liberal fellow -tOwnsmen.

THERE is a business-like way of
handling all matters pertaining to

Nothing, however, can be accom-

want and all pull together, not
against each other.

THE Chandler News gives utter
ance to the following, which will
truthfully apply to any section of
this Indian country: One of the
shortest roads to lower taxes and
better public improvements is to
be found in the early development
of our resources to the highest
possible degree. Fertile lands
should not be left unproductive or
poorly titled; good business open
ings should not be neglected; op-
portunities for the establishing of
manufacturing enterprises should
not be overlooked. In other words
immigration of the very best class
of farmers should be encouraged;
the opportunities for the profitable
investment Of capital here should
be pointed out to the men who
have the capital to invest; manu-
featuring establishments which
can be operated here with profit
should be sought after. We are
bound to be discovered, sooner or
later, if we patiently wait, but if
we get up and hustle we can gain
FIVE or ten years in the march of
progress, and that counts for
something.

WHO IS MY NEidnBORP

This query and Cbrist's reply
thereto is the subject of Clarence
Ousley's Goth Lay Sermon in Farm
and Ranch. The text-Lnke To- :29
and the context are familiar to
all Bible readers. Christ's con-
versation with the lawyer is de-
tailed, and the story of the humane
Samaritan related, and the preacher
proceeds to make deductions. of
which the following is an example:
Our neighbor. then, is not
alone the man who lives next door.
He is the universal man who
tramps the road or rides in car
riages, who sleeps in barns or pal
aces. He is the man who is hun
CRY and in distress, and who can
not repay our kindness, as well as
the man who lends us bucket of
coal in exchange for the use of our
garden rake.
There are many impostors who
abuse the neighborly quality.
There are worthless fellows who
come to US with all sorts of pitiful
tales. But there are ways of get
ting at the truth and, if we cam t
find the truth, Or can't disprove
the fellows story, let US take the
chance on the side of mercy. The
rule of whist is that if you are in
doubt about a trick, take it. 1t is
a good rule to apply to tramps.
