There are people in this world who
make records OF various kinds that
stand for years before they are at
last beaten. Records for long dis
tance walking, for endurance races
for speed and for numberless other
things. But it has remained for the
quiet little city Of Ardmore, located
away down here on the southern
boundary line of what was only yes
terday STYLED the wild and woolly
southwest. TO furnish a man who has
made Z record as n Sunday school
attendant. Jack Snyder, of the Ard
moreite force-genial, good natured,
sunny tempered, laughing Jack Sny-
der, the man with the hearty hand
shake and the warm and pleasant
greeting for the grown-ups and the
little cnIidren alike rounded out with
tie passing G. last Sunday, a record
of fifty-three consecutive Sundays
attendance in the Sunday schools OF
the city. Can any town, anywhere,
produce a man who can beat this rec
ord?

Proof of Birds Ace,

While life periods for birds have
been variously stated at from two
years for a wren to one hundred for
the eagle and crow. such figures have
lacked authority. Prof. L. Petit has

illogical society of France some birds
of accurately known age, and these
include sparrow OF eight years, a
blackbird Of eleven, a small cardinal

WILSON AND GORE
IN CONFERENCE
REGARDING FAILURE TO SECURE
MEN OF ABILITY WITH FlNAN-
CIAL MEANS IN SERVICE.

Washington, March 24.-Senator
Gore talked with the president about
his failure to secure men of ability
with sufficient means to enable them
to accept diplomatic positions. The
senator suggested that perhaps con-
gress might be able to appropriate
money to build embassies and lega-
tions and take away the chief ex-
pense with which this country's rep
resentatives abroad heretofore have
beer burdened. The president dis
played much interest in possible
solution of the question.
Besides the official announcement
that Charles w. Eliot, president en-
eritus of Harvard, had declined the
ambassadorship to Great Britain,
there was no definite word at the
white house as to probable diplomat
ic appointments. Secretary Tumulty
a number of men under considera-
tion, only few had been tentatively
fixed upon for specific posts.
The only recess appointment thus
far made was that of John H. Rod
gers, today to be made United States
marshal for the western district of
Texas.
Former Senator Gardner of Maine
was white house caller. He said
that a week ago he had been Offered
the collectorship of port of Portland
Maine, and that he would accept the
appointment. White house officials
however, refused to confirm or deLv
this.
