Policeman John Bibb.

The following from the San An
tonic Light shows that John Bibb, who
was raised in Ardmore, is making
good as a policeman there:
Il tried to be man and police
man for Richter and Newman I'm
going to try to be better man and
policeman for Mayor Jones and Chief
Lancaster"
j. II. Bibb, who for year has
watched over the corner of Commerce
and South Alamo streets, thus sum
maIizes his idea of duty to the new
administration, which reappointed
him as one of the few men retained
after Mayor Jones and Chief Lancas-
ter had gone over the list of men on
the former night shift.
Il didn't vote for Mayor Jones, an |
i guess he knew it, so my reappoint-
ment indicates it's merit and nothing
else he's looking at in choosing the
city employees. It's sure an induce
ment to policemen and others to be
courteous and attentive to duty, and
keep their noses out of politics"
Heads OF all the leading business
houses and employees of the same in
stitutions in the neighborhood of
Commerce and South Alamo streets
went 20 the mayor and new chief and
pleaded Bibb's cause, for which he
expresses himself duly grateful.

Dried Peaches.

Some of the especially diligent
housewives of southwest Ardmore,
after making peach jelly, peach mar
malade, peach conserve, peach vim
egar, peach preserves and peach
sweet pickle decided that they would
try their hand on dry peaches.
The aristocracy of the neighbor-
hood shifted the air in disdain when
the intention was announced.
These industrious ladies explained
that it was a case of preserving
the natural resources rather than
a spirit OF economy that suggested
their labor. They said they hated
to see the peaches lie on the ground
and rot and they considered this
a good plan Of utilizing the crop.
They, too, turned up their noses
at dried peaches as an article OF
diet, so the suppostion is that they
were drying the peaches merely
energy that these summer days Gus
tomarily call forth.
Each morning before Old Sol was
we'll out of bed and when the sun
kissed fruit hung especially luscious
and inviting they would HE forth
with buckets, gather them full of
golden Elbertas and gossip across
the fences while they split them in
halves and numerically spread them
juicy side up, for the broiling breath
of the sun to dry.
Boxes were rut in each back yard
to support planks on which the
fruit was spread.
When the news reached the wasps,
butterflies and flies they put on
an insect excursion and came in
whole families. Some of them not
only brought their wives and child
ren, but their mothers-in- law and
grandmothers.
These ladies were doing it the
old fashioned way-fly specks and
any At night they covered their
fruit lovingly and tenderly with
their daughters gingham dresses or
their tea towels. whichever were
handler. Nothing was too sacred
to cover the peaches from the dew,
which was liable to turn them from
a brick red to an inartistic shade
of dull purple.
The ladies retired on Wednesday
evening with a silvery moon hanging
over their fruit and believed it was
safe for the night.
About eleven-thirty some frisky
little clouds bumped heads together
and a few raindrops fell.
No sooner had the clouds begun
to gather than some protecting deity
that looks after dried peaches, sug-
gested to them the approaching
shower They arose and went
creeping out to gather their fruit.
1t was the very witching hour of
the night and the slightest noise
would have made their hair stand
on end, curl paperh and all. Neither
knew the other was up. A screen
of trees effectively hid their opera
tions from one another.
AS each, at midnight's holy hour, |
gathered in their fruit, their minds |
We're distracted by mysterious nois-
es. They would drop a handful in
the pail and listen-then, as sure
as fate, they'd hear a sound as if |
someone had dropped another hand |
full in another pail It was positive
ly uncanny. One lady thought she |
heard someone walking in her |

1879 and > Roosevelt from Harvard

Taft In 1886 and Roosevelt, the se-
cond time. In 1885. Wilson gradual

Taft got his firstag political Job In
1882 and Roosevelt got his first po-
htical Job d In 1882. Wilson became
president Of Princeton In 1902; Roose
