WHERE WILL HAREM GO
 WHEN SVLTAN IS FIRED

TANGIER, Nov. II. When France seriously takes Morocco in hand, what will be done with the harem of the sultans palace of Fez :? That is one of the interesting ques- tions asked here since the Franco Ge man negotiations took a pacific turn
 The sultan of Morocco has an es- tablishment there that is greater than that of any ether ruler, for one of the most striking features of his household is the harem of 2,- 900 wives.
 Compared with the sultan of Nor occc, Brigham Young, Solomon and other polygamous characters were moderate. True, the Musselmans are not allowed by the Koran to have more than four wives under ore mans roof, but the sultan is believed by his people to have a special arrangement with Heaven. By virtue of the complacency of Al lah. the sultan can repudiate today the wife he welded yesterday and replace her by another. But the repudiated wives are not allowed to quit the palace They continue to live in the harem.
 The sultan obtains his wives from all parts of his dominions. Kaida, desirious of pleasing him, offer their daughters in marriage for Mulai Hafid is very exacting. He

OLDEST SKELETON IS FOUND

PARIS, Dec Il. The skeleton of a man far older than any eyer found before has just been dug from the ground at Quina, in the department f Charente. western France. The region. as has long been known, is rich in fossil re- mains.
 This the latest discovery of the 'firsr man" was made by Henry Martin, grandson of a famous French historian. He unearthed the first of the bones Cn September 27. and since then he has recovered enough to make it possible to reconstruct the entire frame. Thus he is en- abled to realize one of the fondest dreams of science.
 The Quina skeleton dates from the paleolithic or stone age, from the time of the mammoths, when man first fashioned implements from stone with which to protect himself from wild beasts.
 The skull bulges out ever the eye brows like that of gorilla, the frontal bone making a greater curve than was found in either the Chap elle Aux Saints skull or that found i'll the cave in Neanderthal The jaws are powerful, with the under jaws projecting. The teeth show that mankind at that distant age had learned to chew it's food thor oughly. The surfaces of the teeth are much worn.

ARDMORE. WESTERN
READY FOR WORK
CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN AS
SOON AS ARDMoRE RAISES A
BONUS OF ONLY $4,000.

The Ardmore Western Interurban
Railway company has made the Com
mercial club of this city proposition
that will most likely be accepted.
The company proposes to construct
a line of railway by way of Springer,
Woodford, Oil City, Cornish, Leon,
Cheek and back to Ardmore, making
a circuit OF 100 miles for a bonus OF
$4,000, together with a right of way
through the country as far as Caddo
creek. None of the bonus money is
due and payable until the line is
completed which will be on or before
the first day of January 1915. Com
mercial club members and the citi-
zens generally are enthused with the
proposition and say that the demands
of the company are very reasonable
and it is believed that the bonus mon
ey required to secure this line OF rail-
way can be raised in Ardmore with
ease. The company proposes to take
town lots and lands within radius
of five miles of Ardmore at far
cash value and fair cash value is
to be determined by a committee OF
men who are acquainted with values.
Attorney c. B. Kendrick addressed
a mass meeting of citizens yesterday
afternoon and Attorney S. M. Davis
addressed the mass meeting held to-
day at the court house in the interest
of the Ardmore Western.
One of the wealthiest citizens of
Ardmore stated today that Ardmore
had the best opportunities in its his
tory offered nthese two propositions.
He says the city can well afford to
cheerfully accept both propositions
and he believes that both of the bo-
muses. can be raised more easily than
one could be raised alone. Both OF
these roads mean much to Ardmore
and not an hour should be lost upon
the part of the citizenship OF the
town in raising the money asked.
Not Ardmore alone is interested
in what this city does with reference
to the Ardmore Western but the peo-
pie in every town through which 1t
passes are interested they are looking
to Ardmore to do it's full duty in this
connection and with the good spirit
that prevails in this city at this time
there is no chance for failure. The
bonus money is not to be paid until
Ardmore receives more than full val
ue for the investment and the notes
will not be due for a year after the
Ringing notes have fallen due.
The method to be pursued is to
have live committee to take the
work in hands and push it to sue
cessful ending.
