But she laughed.

panoramic beauty Of Florence was to

sun. glowing In the rain, sparkling in
the night.
Life Fan smoothly enough at the
villa Ariadne. La Signorina at the
very last moment surrendered to the
entreaties of Kitty. She agreed not to
pass herself off as the princess. Among
themselves each played the role orig
inally assigned. In Signorina seemed
to enjoy the farce as much as any
one. 1t was a great temptation not to
steal look into the marvellous chests
and sidcboards. bulging as they knew
with priceless glass and silver and

DEVELOPS OIL FIELD
SOME STRONG COMPANIES MAX
ING PURCHASES AND SECURING
LEASES.

There are four oil companies bid
ding on some oil lands near Ard
more today. There is a strong com.
pany from Texas which is closing
some lease contracts today and ex.
pect TO begin sinking wells within
short time. The names of the in.
dfviduals could not be secured and
will not be given out until after
the deal for the land is consum.
mated. but our informant says the
lands lie near Ardmore and that this
city will be the beneficiary. The
company which seems most active
has large holdings in Texas and
has developed oil in that state. They
have plenty of capital to develop the
field here and there is certain to be
an oil boom in Ardmore before the
end OF the year.

LOOKS "LEEUY" FOR NORRIS
REPUBLICAN BOSS MAY NOT
HAVE AFFAIRS so EASY AS HE
THlNKs-DlscoNTENT.

Washington, March 16.-Informa-
ton from the new state indicates that
the republicans OF Oklahoma do not
intend 10 stand for Joe Norris GO
ting n good federal Job IN Washing
ton. unless he resigns as chairman
OF the state committee In fact there
is rumor floating around that unless
he agrees 10 resign rs state chair
man there may be trouble in get
ting endorsements that he IS counting
on as certain to como when he asks
for them.
Another thing that IS going 10
cause trouble is the suspicion with
which the republicans Of the east
side, or old Indian Territory. are
watching tho republicans Of the west
side In fact II IS known that there
is already n feeling of resentment
on the east side because the west
sidors are arrogating TO themselves
so much authority in the matter of
appointments which they expect 10
land are yet in the air.
The result Of all this. according 10
n well informed republican in Wash
ington, is that the republican or
ganization of the state will sooner or
later be transferred from west side
to the east side. and that one OF the
larger towns Of the east side. prob.
ably Tulsa or Muskogee, will become
headquarters for the republican state
organization instead OF Guthrie.
Another cause Of complaint that
has come IN against Mr.. Norris is
that he has been in Washington look
ing out for good Jobs. one for him
self included, while the democrats
have passed an election law that the
republicans admit is likely to be their
finish. Representative Creager got
badly scared on account OF the cleo
tion law and poured telegrams by
the score into the state trying TO de-
feat IT, but Norris apparently did not
take notice OF It. This may cause
Norris some trouble later.

A BAPTIST ELDER
Restored to Health by Vinol

II was run down and weak from in
digestion and general debility, also suf-
fered from vertigo. I saw q cod liver
preparation called Vinol advertised and
decided to give it trial, and the re-
suits were most gratifying. After TAX
ing two bottles I regained my
strength and am now feeling unusually
WELL" Henry Cunningham, Elder Bap-
fist Church, Kingston, N. G.
Vinol is not a patent medicine-but a
preparation composed Of the medicinal
elements of Gods livers, combined with
tonic iron and wine. Vinol creates
a hearty appetite, tones up the organs
Of digestion and makes rich, red blood
In this natural manner, Vinol creates
strength for the rundown, over
worked and debilitated, and for deli
cate children and old people. For
chronic coughs, colds and bronchitis
Vinol is unexcelled.
All such persons in this vicinity are
