Editor Ardmoreite:

Editor Ardmoreite:
Permit me TO state in your paper
that | am going to resign my office
as city commissioner, to take effect
next Tuesday. | have been wanting
to do this for six months, but let
my friends persuade me to hold on.
| am not resigning because | have
any fault to find with the mayor
or any of the commissioners, but on
the contrary, will state that ! never
served with a bunch of men who
were trying harder to please the
people that the present mayor and
board of commissioners. When
ran for the office l thought it was
an honor and asked my friends to
support me, and they did SO, be-
lieying. ! suppose, as ! did, that they
were honoring me and doing me a
favor, but Oh, Lord, forbid that |
should ever want any more honors
or favors of that kind. | appreciate
my friends and thank them for do
ing what | asked them to do, elect
me, but don't you ever do it again
unless a mighty change comes over
cur people. In their present state
of mind, | find that | cannot please
them; hence the only wise thing
for me to do is to get out of the
way and let better man fill my
place | have hoped that cur peo-
pie would get together and work
for the upbuilding Of our city but
1t seems like they are getting far
ther and farther apart, and strife
and discord is about to get the up
per hand. All | have is in our
fair little city, and | would like
to see It increase in value, and
think opportunity is now knocking
at our door, Il We as citizens could
get together, and work for a great
or Ardmore instead of trying to
down somebody else. This strife
hurts cur city, hurts our business,
hurts our Christianity and makes
bitter enemies of neighbors against
neighbors. Quit it, good people.

advice ! am constrained to believe

stop to talk to man that is want

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain OF Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells of Strange 6ombardment
Of His Vessel.

Capt A. Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports a
strange experience at sea on August Z.
In report made to the Hydro
graphic Office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into a thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least,
violent electric storm broke out, and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 1915
a. m, August s, the steel foremost of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the Top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of st. Elmo
nre, as the mast gave out loud reports
as II from a powerful wireless appara-
tus.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her officers and crew did
not venture on deck

MY little daughters head began with
dry harsh scale covering it. First 1t

then 1t got a dirty brown scab with
pus under it. Her hair came out in
less than a week and her head itched
and bled. She had no rest. l had her
wear a scarf all the time, 1t looked 30
badly. She was so sore and had such
big brown scabs on her head that the
teacher would not let her attend
school.
We took and had her treated for
three months with no relief. She kept
getting worse until / tried Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap every third day and the
Cuticura Ointment at night. In three

valley to lakeland, upon which, &C
cording to report brought to us the
night before, fresh sheep tracks had
been recently noted. We reached the
mesa at a point where, in shadow our
selves, we could watch a great slash
of sunlight cutting through a gap in
the eastern ridge and descending like
wedge of gold into the semi-dark-
ness of the lower valley. AS the tip
of the wedge of light touched a jut-
ting point on the mesa's outermost
rim, it revealed with startling sud-
denness a well-grown young ram

blur of blue mist that filled the valley.

young ram toppled forward over the
brink of the cliff and simultaneously,
another animal leaped after him from
the shadow, while a number of others
scampered back out of sight into a
rocky gully which cut the mesa at
that point.
We descended to the bride trail,
200 feet below the cliff, to find. lying
on the outer edge, not the animal |
had shot, but much larger ram with
a shattered, but still magnificent, pair
of horns. The wounded sheep had
evidently struck a projection of the
cliff in his descent, this DETECTING the
body sufficiently to clear the trail and
bound on into the valley below. The
unwounded ram, leaping out from the
brow of the cliff, had fallen strasgbt to
the bride trail and been instantly
killed. The body of the wSunded
sheep was carried away in the swift
mountain torrent which ran at the
base of the cliff

MANY USES OF THE OCEANS
They Are Here Enumerated, and YOU
May Accept or Reject the Facts
as You Prefer.

Oceans are found in various parts of
the world, where they spend their time
in tapping shores, infringing upon the
rights of continents, and swallowing
up islands, ships and peoplo
Oceans are salty to the taste and
are used by yachtsmen to get away
from their wives, also to cover up
cabled newspaper stories about kings
and queens, and to float nayies and
other debts.
An ocean spends its time in having
storms and making surf 1t delights
in making innocent people sick and in
playing with children's legs Without
oceans there would be no steamships
and gambling would decline.
Every ocean has a set of fish which
do not even pay ground rent, but spend
their time like people who live on
land, namely. in devouring each other.
Besides ordinary fish, oceans have
whales, Holsters and mermaids. The
mermaids live on rocks just as girls
on dry land do. The Holsters also
live shellfsh lives in lobster palaces
The whales lie around and wait for
the happy time when they can perform
useful work supplying bones for cor.
sets or to oil the wheels of child labor
factories
Some oceans employ professional
sea serpents, which they use during
the summer for advertising purposes
Oceans also have zones, seaweed and
sponges. When an ocean has been
out all night it likes TO take a sponge
bath, hence it always. keeps on hand
a constant supply OF these Useful toilet
articles-Iife.
