CITY JAIL DELIVER
A Fakir Tried TO Bribe Judge Gait.
Sawed Their comrade Out.

Yesterday one 4. ID. Martin was
arrested by Marshal Pulliam and
fiued one dollar and costs by Judge
Gait. Not having the money e.
pay the hne-$7 40-he was locked
up in the calaboose.
Last night some time after mid
night outside parties filed two bars
of the door in twain and Martin
made his escape.
Judge Gait told an ARDMoREiTE
reporter that about midnight last
night a short, heavy-set. full
whiskered man came to his house
and wanted to get the man out of
custody.
The Judge informed him that he
would be released upon pay ment
OF $40. The stranger then whis-
pered in the judges ear and asked
him it he would not turn him loose
upon payment OF two dollars.
Judge Gait told him no; that it
was his opinion that he was one of
the fakirs in town, handling rings,
spectacles, etc, and he would have
to serve his sentence OF pay his
fine.
The stranger pulled out a pair of
spectacles aud asked him if that
was the kind of spectacles.
There is no doubt but that this
fellow was one of the fakirs. aud
falling to bribe Judge Gait, sum
moued his allies aud cut the bars
of the prison door aud liberated
their comrade.

Deiinquent Taxes.

In looking over the city tax col
lector's books the school board
finds that very large proportion
of the taxes are yet unpaid.
Many of our well to do citizens
have neglected to pay their taxes
although the same are long past
due. The penalty is now on aud
property is liable to be seized aud
sold any day.
Our public schools are sadly in
need of the funds. The board do
not wish to contract debts on q
possibility Of collecting delinquent
taxes.
No suit has been brought this
year to enforce penalty.
The board asks everyone to pay
up, and further, that the penalty
be enforced against delinquents.
II is not fair for a portion to pay
taxes and the remainder, who are
equally able to pay and get equal
benefits, keep their money in their
pockets or in the bank.

Moran Scott Announces.

Today the attention OF our ri ad-
ers is called TO the announcement
of Moran Scott, who is a candidate
for the Office of police Judge.
Probably no mau in Ardmore is
better known to our people than
MIR. Scott. That he has the nec-
essary qualifications for the Office
to which be sspires will not be
doubted by any one. Practically
an attorney, his term rs United
States commissioner in our city is
fresh in the memory of our people
and the knowledge acquired from
that position vill sustain his adap.
liability for the Office to which he
aspires. His more recent term as
postmaster for over four years has
also made him known to the gen
eral public, where everybody liked
him. Mr.. Scott will no doubt
prove a lively candidate during the
race for he has many friends.

at the time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations Of

by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss
was applied rrycrcntially To sacred OBJ

shown by ancient works OF art, and
also among numerous etymologies by
that of the Latin word "adoro," and II
was also aphorically applied by the

Japanese coal merchant as the pay
master Of the feet and contracted for
several thousand tons Of coal. The
price namP was $14 a ton.

sion. Make the price sixteen dollars
a ton and have - thousand tons

when thoroughly warmed up the sailor
remarked, looking indolently at his
watch: BY the bye, I'm expected to
visit the club tonight, and it is prob
able that l may need 4 little more
money than | have in my pocket. Per
haps you had better advance me three
or four thousand dollars on account"
OF course he got what he wanted.
Next morning the vessels were sur
rounded with scores of barges laden
with coal and it was all the officers
could do TO prevent the Japs from IN

The national zoo has just received
through an animal dealer in PhiladeI-
phia a magnificent pair OF the large
black and white lemurs indigenous to
the island Of Madagascar. This makes
the fourth pair Of these animals
brought to this country, and. In addi-
ton to being highly attractive by rea-
son of their coat OF long Jet black and
snow white hair and their abnormally
large and luminous eyes, they are Of
very great interest from the viewpoint
OF science and evolution.
The lemur stands In the same rela-
tion to apes and monkeys as they in
turn stand to the human race, only In
the case Of the lemurs and apes the
missing link connecting the two gen.
era is in real and actual existence, be-
ing realized in the "aye-aye," pecul-
lar animal, also Of Madagascar, that is
as much lemur as 1t is simian.
