Inc fragments of a life
little of its Joy,
A little of its strife
And sigh when 1t is done,
Because they are so small.
So worthless and so vain.
Yet He Who knoweth all
May see in the poor, bare shreds,
A beauty most divine,
And lay them gently down,
Fit Offering at His shrine.

FRAME-UP

Oklahoma City, May 10. - What
State Auditor Meyer is inclined to be-
lieve was a frame-up to force the sale
of the new issue of s75OOOO worth of
building warrants below par was un-
earthed here today.
Harry P. Webber, noted Chicago
bond attorney. denies that he ever
gave any advice relative to the legality
of the new warrants.
While the state auditor and treasur-
er were waiting for the sale of the
warrants Meyer went east to consult
the bond buyers of Chicago and New
York and he returned feeling assured
that the large buyers would gobble up
the entire issue at par.
On the last morning before the sale
was to be made, Meyer received word
from the bond buyers in which Webber
was quoted as saying that the bonds
we're Of doubtful legality. the constitu-
tionality of the act under which they
were issued being questioned. They
agreed, however to take them at SO.
When Webber denied ever giving an
opinion on the warrants it looked like
combine had been made to force
down the price
I The state made no further effort to
sell the warrants. Meyer would be
willing to sell them below par but ii
is doubtful if the constitution would
permit it.

Man" was the subject chosen by Mr..
McNeal and he spoke in part as fol-
lows.
l have often wondered how many
men have deliberately selected their
life work and then staid with it, fol-
lowing out a prearranged plan and
how many have just sort OF drifted
into the business they finally follow.
or course there are certain profess
sions in which the law in most states
requires certain definite preparation
b fore the aspiring citizen will be al
lowed to practice. II didn't used to
be so but it Is SO nearly everywhere
now. Formerly in more than half the
states Of the union any man could set
up as a doctor without any examina-
ton as to his qualifications. Now
there is hardly state I'D the union
that does not require that man must
pass regular examination and prob
ably show diplomas from some recog-
nized school of medicine before he is
permitted to kill or cure according to
law.
Formerly a man didn't need to know
anything about law in order to be ad-
mited to the bar. | know that because
was admitted myself, but Of late the
old lawyers don't want so much com
petition and SO they have secured leg
islation requiring the people who want
to practice lay to take examinations
and answer lot of question instead
of formerly simply being asked to
set up the drinks for the, members Of
the examining committee.
1t may be that after awhile these
newspaper organizations will get foxy
and procure the passage Of laws re-
quiring some sort Of an examination

FIREMEN FIGHT
THREE FIRES
Blaze in Hosiery Mill, Church
and Playhouse Keep De-
partment Busy
POLICEMAN SAVES CHURCH
FROM POSSIBLE DESTRUCTION

Three fires since Saturday afternoon
occupied the attention of the firemen,
but In none was the loss serious, al
though in at least one instance, a
serious blaze was threatened.
Shortly after 4 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon fire of unknown origin
broke out in the plant of the Glen
Hosiery Company, Thirteenth and
Poplar streets, and before It was ex-
tinguished, one hundred and twenty
five pairs OF women's stockings, a
washing machine and two trucks.
were destroyed, causing a loss Of
$500.
BY his presence Of mind and timely
action Motorcycle Officer Wilmer
Hahn yesterday morning probably
averted a serious fire In the West
minister Presbyterian Church, at Thir-
teenth and Rodney streets, formerly
the Rodney Street Presbyterian
Church. He was passing the building
when he saw clouds o. smoke rolling
from the windows and doors. Enter
ing he found the cellar filled with
smoke and fire. He attached a garden
hose TO a faucet close at hand and
began to battle with the flames. Pa
trolman Scott saw the smoke a short
time later and went to Officer Hahn's
assistance, and between them they
succeeded In extinguishing the fire
before the arrival of the Water Witch
Fire Company.
The janitor had been in the church
and had made a fire in the furnace,

NO CAUSE TO BE AFRAIn.

Some people are afraid to sign up
with the new electric light company
for fear of an increase in rates or
having their current cut off in case il
does not get a franchise. No need 10
worry. Furnishing electric current al
the present prices in Wilmington is
too good an opportunity to let slip.
The offer of the Public Utilities Light,
Heat and Power Company to furnish
current at a reduction of thirty per
cent. from the present rates is a
proof Of what kind of prices are now
being charged.+
