A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. MARK, THE EVANGELIST.

ST. Mark was converted to the Faith
by st. Peter, the Prince of the Apost-
les, whom he afterwards accompanied
to Rome, in the capacity of secretary,
or interpreter. When ST. Peter was
writing his first Epistle to the
Churches of Asia, he affectionately
joins with his own salutation that of
his faithful companion, whom he calls
my son Mark" The Roman people
entreated st. Mark to put in writing
for them the substance of St. Peters
frequent discourses on our Lords life.
This the Evangelist did under the eye
and with the express sanction of the
Apostle, and every page of his brief
but graphic Gospel so bore the impress
of st. Peters character, that the Faith
ers used to name it Peters Gospel"
st. Mark was now sent to Egypt to
found the Church of Alexandria. Here
his disciples became the wonder f
the world for their. piety and ascetic
ism, so that st. Jerome speaks of St.
Mark as the father of the anchorites,
who, at a later time, thronged the
Egyptian deserts. Here too he set up
the first Christian school, the fruitful
mother of many illustrious doctors and
bishops. After governing his see for
many years, St. Mark was one day
seized by the heather, dragged by
ropes over stones, and thrown into
prison. On the morrow the torture
was repeated, and having been con-
soled by vision of angels and the
voice of Jesus, st. Mark went to his
reward
1t is to St. Mark that we owe the
many slight touches which often give
such vivid colouring to the Gospel
scenes, and help us to picture to our
selves the very gestures and looks of
our Blessed Lord. It is he alone who
notes that in the Temptation Jesus
was with the beasts" that He "em-
braced" the little children. He alone
preserved for us the ,commandine
words peace, be still" by which the
storm was quelled; or even the very
sounds of His voice, the "Ephphetha"
and ''Talitha cumi," by which the
dumb were made to speak and the
dead to rise. So too the looking
round about with anger" and the
signing deeply long treasured in the
memory of the penitent Apostle, who
was himself converted by his Sa-
viour's look, are here recorded by his
faithful interpreter

CONSOLATION OF HOLY COM.
MUNION.

Marie Wainwright, granddaughter of
the Right Rev. Jonathan Mayhue
Wainwright, Bishop of the State of
New York, who was recently con-
verted to the Catholic Faith, has this
to say of the consolation received in
Holy Communion: "I have, in my
career as an artist, been called upon
to enact most of the noble women in
Shakespeare's immortal plays and also
many classic, roles from French, Ger
man, Italian and Greek writer's. My
dramatic life has covered a period of
twenty-five years, and l have again
and again felt my heart swell with
triumph at the plaudits of the audi
ence when knew that my work had
earned it's appreciation and applause.
But when approached the table Of
Our Lord! Here indeed was my
greatest triumph-my sublimest role
for it seemed to me the angels them
selves bent down and rejoiced." Miss
Wainwright wishes that it were in her
power to make her non-Catholic
friends share in her delight

MARY, QUEEN OF MAY.

The alleluias, the Easter alleluias,
are ringing in our ears as we pass the
joyful paschal days-and find fitting
echo in our May songs, for with low
ing hearts we greet our Heavenly
Mother, and hail her Queen of May.
Let us bring the lilies white and roses
red, and twine them with laurel leaves
and violets and sweet forget-me-nots,
fitting chaplet for our Lady's statue,
while with glowing hearts we tell her
of our love, our hopes, and fears, as
Queen of Heaven, she sits by the
throne of her Divine Son, fairest of
earth's mortals, asking graces and
blessings for us as her chosen chill
dren.
The bright days of May lift up the
heart and send our thoughts heaven
wards, and the Christian soul is made
glad during it's sunny hours by the
thoughts of her to whom it's beauty
and sunshine are consecrared. How
we glow with pride when we think o.
Mary, Queen of May! Her virginia.
purity dazzles us with it's glory, while
her motherly love charms us with its
tenderness. Suffice to know that she
is the Mother of our Lord and Saw
Jour, to know something of her worth
and her work The Son of God would
not and could not have mother I'm.
worthy of Him. She must be by ma
ture all that nature could be, while
by grace she is made all that God
would have her. Therefore was she
fair and eomely as the lily, and as
sweet and graceful as the rose in mien
and person, while her soul was re-
splendent with light and glory th3t
threw sheen of brightness over her
face and form, which made her more
of spirit than of flesh, more of heaven
than of earth, and most worthy to be
the mother of the Son of God, because
the most worthy of all His creatures.
Let us, then, crown her in our May
days with the brightest and the best
of all earth's flowers, while we give
the love of our hearts which these
offerings typify. She is our May
Queen. Her pure virginia. life leads
us to strive for the highest virtues.
Thoughts of her react upon ourselves,
and make us glow with the love of all
that is pure and refined in nature, and
all that is holy and elevating by grace.
Lovely May Queen, pray that thy
children may be worthy thy love and
thy eare!-
From seedlings" bD Bishop Cotton.

WHAT IS BEING OFFERED IN THE
WAY OF INDUCEMENTS AT
THE CATHOLIC COLONY
OF ONAMIA, MINI.

Each colonist is advanced $4,000
worth of lumber, which he is to use
in part for building house and barn.
$4,000 in cash is loaned each colonist,
with which he is required to buy cows,
hogs and poultry. These amounts are
charged in the settlers contract, with
ten years time in which to pay.
After the settler has removed the
brush and cleared ten acres, the
Company with whom the contract is
made goes in with powerful stump
puller and assists in removing the
stumps, in which work the settler is
employed if he desires. This work is
done at cost. and charged in on the
settlers contract, with ten years time
in which to pay.
If a settler, within two years, puts
on the land six cows or more, and
keeps that many or more during the
next eight years, a rebate of $100
per acre is allowed on the purchase
price of the land.
Two priests are stationed at Ona-
mia, where they have church and par
sonage. This is help to the colonists
because the settlers know they will
not be called upon to contribute to
church building for some time to
come.
over twenty miles of wagon roads
are in course of construction through
the lands of this colony, under the
supervision of the Minnesota State
Highway Commission.
Three dollars per acre is paid down,
and nothing further to pay except in
terest and taxes until the second
November following date of purchase.
Many inquiries are being received
regarding this colony. A large influx
OF colonists is booked for this spring.
A booklet giving full information will
be sent, if applied for, by Minnesota

THE LIFE LINE OF PRAYER.

Suggested by a sermon delivered
by Rev. Geo. s. Rapier, S. M, at Sa-
cred Heart Church, Atlanta, Ga.)
AS 1 sought my couch I prayed for the
souls:
Lord, give them rest;
Ere slumbered long an angel came
Down from the home of the best;
And swiftly she bore me out thru the
right-
Over the mountains and plain,
Till we stood on the shores of bound
less sea-
A restless heaving main.
And she turned with sad and trou-
bled face,
And a voice both tragic and panied
And she said: Here gaze on the ocean
of life,
Where the sons of men are en-
chained;"
And, pointing her wand, Here's the
harbor of hope
Where many a suffering soul
Pays purgation's debt for sins in life
Ere it reaches its restful goal;
'Tis wholesome thought to pray, it's
true.
That their agonies soon shall cease,
And the Father of all shall show his
love,
And grant them speedy release;
p,,f %ho1y,ua fho hor nf 7 ifo
and Time,
And are safe from the powers of
hell,
And a merciful God will call them
Though when no one can tell"
Nov look" she cried, with emotion
intense,
AS she pointed beyond the bar;
"See the pillows of vice and waves OF
That roll both near and far
There myriad souls-all pleasure
mad
Heedlessly seek the swell;
And sitting the warning voice from
above
They court the vortex of hell"
Eyes, pray for these whose joy is de.
layed
But pray for those as we'll;
For each prayer lisped is a lifeline
thrown
To those submerged in the swell;
Some unshrived soul will craps the
line
And call on Heaven for aid
And God will send the life-saving
corps
To those who have struggled and
prayed"
Then swiftly she bore me back thru
the night
Over the mountain and plain;
And when in my chambers solitude
knelt in prayer again;
My petition was sent to Mercy's seat
l knew there was mercy there:
"Merciful God, send the life-saving
corps
Lord, hear my prayer"
-Thos. F. Corigon.

ON FREQUENT COMMUNION.

Many more than do so now would
doubtless become frequent commune
cants were they not deferred by the
difficulty they fancy they would expe-
rience in living up to the life of great
er strictness imposed upon them by
that practice. But this, too, is an
empty fear. For while it is true that
going often to Holy Communion will
be a stimulus to living more perfect
life, it is just as true that eating often
of the Flesh of God will give the
strength to respond to the call. If our
ability to follow this life of nobler
self-denial depended wholly on our
selves we might we'll despair, for who
does not know by bitter experience
has to do with self-renunciation? But
it must never be forgotten that the fire.

The Southern Commercial Congress
will hold its third annual convention
at Atlanta, Ga, March s, 8 and 10,
1911. Governor Cruce is very anxious
to have the state of Oklahoma proper
ly represented at that convention and
is calling upon the commercial clubs
of the state to help him out to that
end. Consequently, n. H. Mccoy, Sec
retary of the Ardmore Commercial
Club, would be glad to have any of
the members of that organization who
might find it convenient to visit At.
lanta on the dates named call upon
him at once for information regarding
the convention and in order that the
proper commission may be issued.
Mr.. Mccoy has a letter from the
governor in which he expresses the
hope that some one from Ardmore
will attend.

CONTRACT
AWARDED DOWNWARD
SSIONERS HOLD BUSY SES-

At regular meeting of the city
commissioners held last night the
Shelby Downard company was
awarded the contract TO pave F1rsl

east across the railroad tracks in
front of the Tyler & Simpson Co.'S
wholesale property. This is known as

An appropriation of $500 was made
for the purchase of lumber with
which to build street crossings. Com
missioner Bunitt will have the
spending of the street crossing
money, and his object will be to
put walks on all the streets lead
ing to the churches and school
buildings.
A number of Broadway citizens
appeared before the board to ask
the commission to place an in
spector on the street while the
paving is being done and they also
requested that all permanent i'm
provements be made, such as sew
ers, storm sewers and lead pipe
water connections and gas connec-
tions, so that when the paving is
once down it will not have to be dis.
turbed to make these improvements.
The board agreed with the citizens
and stated that they had arranged

DAYS DO|NGS IN
COUNTY COURT
VENDORS OF LIQUOR ARE RE-
CElVlNG THE LIMIT AT THE
HANDS OF JURIES.

In the case of the State VS.. Hall
Woodbridge for carrying pistol, af-
ter hearing all the evidence, the court
withdrew the case from the jury and
instructed a verdict of not guilty.
In the case of the State VS.. George
Cherry, for selling whisky, the jury
returned a verdict of guilty, assessing
the punishment at 80 days in Jail and
a fine Of $50 and costs.
In this case it was demonstrated
why the good citizen is loathe to tes-
tify against the whisky peddler Otis
Coffee, one of the most prominent cit
izens OF this county, was the prose-
cutting witness, and the negro defend
ant undertook to prove that Mr.. Cof-
fee was unworthy of belief, getting an
ordinary good citizen, but one who
was mad at Coffee, to testify to that
effect, and one eX-convict. The jury,
by their verdict, said what they
thought of such tactics.
The case against Ed Powell, Mint
Pettus and Dan Price, three negroes
from Tatum, for shooting and malici-
ously killing two mules, the property
OF a respectable old negro citizen of
that community, was tried, resulting
in verdict of guilty as to each de-
fendant, and the jury assessing pun
ishment of three months in Jail, each,
and a fine of $4OO each and costs.
The case of the State VS.. Tom Ford,
for selling whisky was tried, the jury
finding the defendant guilty, and as
sessing his punishment at fine Of
500 and costs, and 80 days in Jail.
The state has announced ready for
trial in every case upon the docket,
and it is probable it will require the
balance of the week to complete the
docket.

ARDMORE NATIONAL
PLANS IMPROVEMENTS
DR.. WALTER HARDY WILL BUILD
NEW SANlTARlUM ON FIRST
AVENUE, SOUTHWEST.

Plans are being made for unusual
activity in Ardmore this spring in the
way of building and municipal i'm
| provements.
Architect John b. White has finish
ed the plans for the Sanitarium to be
| built on First avenue, southwest, by
Dr. Walter Hardy. Work will begin
within a short time. DR.. Hardy spent
much time and money in visiting the
best hospitals of America and Eu-

harmony with the greatest institu-
tions of the kind. It will be strictly
modern in all its appointments. DR..
Hardy will have the new sanitarium
ready for occupancy by the first of

property at the corner of Main aud
\ street, northeast, which he and DR..
Henry have used as a sanitarium for
a great number of years.
O. l.. DENIES has purchased a por-
tion of the old sanitarium property
ard the sanitarium people are under
contract to vacate the portion which
belongs to Mr.. DENIES on the first
day of September.
Immediately after the property is
vacated Mr.. DENIES will put in a mod
ern shirt and overall factory in his
building. The factory will in no way
interfere with retail business which
will be continued as usual.
Mr. White has also completed the
plans for the changes that are to be
made in the Ardmore National Bank
building Bids on the work were
opened yesterday but the directors
were busy making purchases of furni-
ture and fixtures and did not award
the contract but it is said that Lafe
Cruce was the lowest bidder.
A new front will be built, cement
flooring with tiling will be laid and
new fixtures throughout will be placed
in the bank. The second story of the
building will also be remodeled and
the building will be made into one
of the most modern structures in the
city.
]. S. Russ, vice president of the
Western Bankers Supply company Of
Oklahoma City closed the deal yes
terday with the bank for the fixtures
which will consist of Pavanazzo or
Grecian marble and Derby fumed oak
The Ardmore National will enjoy the
distinction of being the only bank in
the state of Oklahoma with similar
fixtures.
