LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION

In recognition OF the worth and dig.
nifty Of labor our state has designated
the first Monday In September as
Labor Day; and 1t is my duty as
Chief Executive OF the City to issue
this proclamation. / am IN hearty
accord with this law and am glad
that the opportunity presents itself
Tor me to show my admiration and
respect for the obj ct Tor which said
law was enacted.
Labor Is the basis of all material
wealth. and conquers everything; in
factory, in shop, in mine. on the iarr
and iu all fields Of human endeuvor
it has been the foundation OF the
worlds progress and ciyilizas-n. It
has d Wcloped every continent, tun
nelcd every mountain, built every
city. reared every edihce, and has
been the vital principle of the world
dustry, it has determined the worth
of individuals and nations. 1t was
honorcd by the Creator, when he de-
creed that by Ihe sweat OF their
brow. men should snrn their bread.
our uyw state has don more to
encourage and show It's appreciation
of the splendid type OF citizenship,
ho are and ever will be the bone
and smews of our great common
wealth, than any other stat in thi-
Union; and the fiat has gone forth
that in our state. of which We are all
50 proud that the laborer is worthy
OF his hire, and that the man who
has an idea and puts II into execution
for the betterment of mankind. the
man who builds hous plants a
tree or flower. makes TWO blades OF
grass grow where only one grew be.
fore. is more worthy citizen than
the one who produces nothing, VINO
prnys upon his fellow man and makes
riches his aim and gold his God,
Tn rctory. in honor and respect
for that class of our citizenship who
labor either with brain or Drawn.
who have made our country and our
state what il is, I Il. w. Dick May.
or of the CITY of Ardmore, Oklaho.
ma do issue this proclamation, and
earnestly request that all places OF
business close at 9'clock a. m. on
Monday. September T. 1905 and stay
clos Al the balance of the day, in or
der that all people, and especially
employees, may have the opportunity
10 participate in the exercises OF the

 I'll so straight to the granary." said Peter to himself. And with great speed and suddenness the courageous little Owl swooped down upon a great army of gnawing rats. One after another he killed with remarkable swiftness. Then back to the nest he carried rat. His mother nodded approvingly. Again Peter started for the granary, and brought another of the slain rats to the nest: and so he returned with one after another. until Mother Barn-owl was al- most overcome with amazement.
 And you should have seen Father Barn-Owl when he came home from his nights hunting. and saw that Peter had provided twice the amount of his spoil. He would have turned his eyes round and round, only for the fact that the Owls eyes can't turn. As it was, he gave. one long. astonished boot. and then gasped:

DRoBABLY the first resolution Jefe made was that some day he
 would be a railroad man. His training to that end began at very early age, for his father held responsible position in a great locomo- tive building works, and many 6 visit Jeff paid there. Hardly e detail es- caped his observation.
 JefE still remembers his awe and grat- itude when he was permitted to enter the cab of a locomotive while it was being tested. The engine was placed on a treadmill; but while the body of the locomotive was upon rails. the driv- ing wheels rested upon large steel wheels which were connected with various kinds of measuring apparatus Thus the engine might ''go" at the rate of a mile a minute and yet not move from its position. All the other ar rangements for testing the pulling pow CT. the dial records of steam and water gauges, and starting under all sorts of unfavorable conditions. were ex- plained to the boy. You may know that there was little Jeff did not understand about a locomotive.
 When a western vacation trip was preached to the lad he did not take as kindly to the idea as might have been expected. The truth of the matter was that he did not wish to be away from his beloved engines even for a short time. But he yielded. and Journeyed to a little station in the Rockies. where his cousin. mining operator, was sta- tioned.

 There's not moment to lose. muttered Jeff.
 Without an instant's delay he back ed the engine off the siding. past the station and toward the private car on the siding below.
 The whistle of the local train was sounding beyond the curve close to the siding when JefE coupled the car. threw open the throttle and dashed ahead.
