HOME, SW EET HOME

I've bought goods at Glasgow,
Belfast and Cork,
London, Liverpool, and then in New
York.
I've purchased in Paris, yes been III
Rome.
But say to you truly, there's no place
like home.
Have sent to Chicago, I'm sorry to
say,
got what / ordered, but first had
to pay.
When the boxes were opened l stood
there alone
And said to myself, goods are better
at home.
The stove that | sent for had only
three legs,
WHAT'S the use of a stove if it hasn't
its pegs?
When | looked in the oven it was
cracked in the dome
Then ! wished TO old Mike I had
bought it at home.
I'm now all filled up with this buy
ing away.
I'll buy where l sell my good butter
and hay.
If the Lord will forgive me no more
will | roam.
Hereafter I'll spend all my dollars
at home.

Prominent corunna Gt,zeu os.d.'

Corunna, Dec. 24.-The motion
for a new trial in the Bridget Quinn
will case, was argued before Judge
Miner in the circuit court Monday,
and the matter was taken under adj
visement by the court.
One of Che arguments used by the
attorneys asking the motion, as rep
resentatives of the proponents, was
trat one of the Jurors and Attorney
A. l.. Chandler, Tor the contestants,
were guilty of misconduct. The dec
iaration filed shows that Juror Frank
Clark of Vernon was a guest at Mr..
Chaudler's home in Owosso Thanks
giving day, when a farmers club OF
which Clark Is not member, was
being entertained and while the trial
of the case had not been completed.
The argument against the motion
was that Mr.. Chandler was merely
An attorney of record and had moth
ing to do with the case aside from as
sisting in the choice of jury.

PECULIAR WRECK
ON ROCK ISLAND
TRAIN TURNS OVER AND LUCK
ILY NOT A PASSENGER RE-
CEVED EVEN A SCRATCH.

Howe, Okla. Dec. 19.-Rock ISL
and westbound train No. 43, Con-
ductor j. e. Cook, was derailed two
miles east of Howe, Okla, Thursday
morning.
The train consisted of one Pull
man, two chair cars, one combina-
ton. one baggage and express and
one mail car All cars except the
Pullman were turned over on their
sides, the mail car being turned
over completely. The engine and
water tank remained on the track,
but were deraile1.
The train was, according to the
conductors report running about
twenty five miles an hour when the
trouble occurred.
The first information that the ac-
cident had happened was brought
to Howe by the conductor who
came in to make his report Luckily
not one passenger was injured, not
even scratched. Considering the
seriousness of the wreck, this seems
miraculous. The mail clerks had a
close call. 1t is stated they crawled
out Of the top of the Car.
AS a result of the accident train
service is very badly crippled The
wreck occurred about 1850 a. m.
and the track was not cleared until
midnight, trains were detoured
around via Wister and Mansfield
over the Frisco.
Passengers on the wrecked train
were carried on a feight train to
Wister and second 43 made up.
The cause of the accident is at
present unknown. The property loss
will be heavy.

An Omission.

In mentioning the many industries
OF this city as shown in the Ardmore
directory for the year 1913, in yester-
days issue of The Ardmoreite. one
of the leading enterprises of the city
was inadvetently omitted. The Ard
more Ice and Light plant, the largest
plant of its kind, and the most mod
ernly equipped without an exception
in the state did not find place in
the write-up of Ardmore enterprises.
The omission was an unintentional
error--one of the kind which some
how will creep in.

QUIZ
WARDEN DICK
WHO TELLS THEM OKLAHOMA
PRISON is MAINTAINED AT
RECORD LOW COST

Oklahoma City, Dec. l9.-That the
penitentiary at McAlester is being
maintained at less per capita cost
than any other prison in the United
States, was the statement made before
tie senate investigating committee
Thursday.
Warden r. W. Dick of the state
pcnitentiary was questioned regarding
the purchase of the khaki clothes for
prisoners. Members of the board OF
affairs stated wednesday that in max
ing the order for the goods that they
had acted on the recommendation
of Warden Dick and his storekeeper as
to price and quality. Mr. Dick told
the committee Thursday morning that
he personally knew nothing as to
whether the price was right relative
to the kind of goods ordered that he,
too. depended on his storekeeper and
that the price furnished the board OF
affairs was simply quoted in an advis-
ory way.
Dick said the whole system OF com
petitive bidding on supplies for tie
state institutions is wrong, and not
conducive to the best interest of the
state.
He cited a number Of instances to
bear out his contention, and said that
if the board of affairs would go into
the open market and buy supplies like
the wholesale houses there would be
great saving and the best goods could
be secured.
