1t may be only smile or q simple

A two hours swim in the sea at

a flood OF burning benzine was the ex-
perience of Mrs. Anna Boeme, wife Of
the captain of the Russian steamer
Kometa, which blew up off Algiers and
was completely burned, with the loss
of Is OF her company. "My husband
put me in boat after the ship had
burst into flames," she said, "but it
capsized. l began to swim in the black
water, which was lit up by the burning
ship. The benzine spread on the sea
and formed one vast burning film
which the wind drove towards me. For
two hours l swarm desperately from
the flames. At last, when l was on
the point of giving up, heard voice
shouting in Russian, Come here 1t

from the great many splendid letters
written On the subject that our "Mother's 8
FRIEND Is great hep TO eXpoctant
mothers. They write of the wonderful
relief. how 1t seemed to allow the

The earliest record of an eclipse
was that of the sun, observed by the
Chinese, B. C. PISS. The first record
of an eclipse approaching any definite
ness of account was the Nineveh
eclipse B. G. 763. The most notable
eclipse recorded in history was that
Of the sun at the time Of the battle
between the Lydians and Medes, May
2S, B. c. 5S5. The battle was sus-
pended and peace was made through
the good offices of Thales. The most
important eclipse. however, in the his
tory of mankind occurred in A. d.
B40, and which caused the death OF
Emperor Louis. The three sons
promptly engaged in war among
themselves. The war lasted three
years and ended with the treaty OF
Verdun, whereby France, Italy and
Germany were carved out Of Charlie
magne's vast empire. This was the
beginning of the three countries
named.

PROVENCE.

Provence, Okla. July 21.-Some-
how, for the past several weeks, the
weather man has passed us by, and
Provence is about the dryest town
on the map. All crops need rain bad
ly. Watermelons and cantaloupes
have made fairly well. and have
brought very good price. The farm
ers say the melon money comes in
mighty handy and is not half as hard
to make as the cotton money.
Our candidate crop is as plentiful
as ever. All looking forward to Aug.
4. This being the last week Of the
race, they are running as fast as they
can.
Prof. J. w. Boles and Miss Eva
Stafford are teaching summer

and songs.
The little child of Mr.. and Mrs. Due
died after lingering illness, and was
buried at the Provence cemetery Fri.
day evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. R. Jones enter
tanned their children, grandchildren
and a few friends Friday evening
with an ice cream supper, in honor
of Mr.. Jones' birthday. A very pleas
ant evening was spent by all, eating
ice cream and cake, and talking of old
times and the new-but, as Mr.. Jones
says, he grows younger with each
birthday, it is not fair to tell his age,
yet he was one of the boys of go, who
marched gallantly forth under the
stars and bars, in defense of our
sunny Southland.
Mr.. Stephenson and family have
moved to their farm, and Mr.. Gail
has taken his place as section fore
man here.
Miss Sue Mayfield has returned

Last fall | visited my father in his
humble cottage home down in North
Georgia. Istood on the porch of that
cottage home as the sun was sinking
into the western horizon for sleep and
the night. As the parting, golden rays
of the sun fell upon the velvety blue
of the mountains in the east, thought
it was the most beautiful sight mine
eyes had ever seen. | resolved to rise
early the next morning and go out to
see the sun as he came up over the
old mountain in all his majesty and
splendor as | had so often done in my
youth The next morning | rose early
and went out, but the old mountain
was gone. During the night a mist
and fog and vapor had gathered about
the crest of the old mountain and shut
ii out from view. | went back into
the house disappointed. Directly
came out again and | saw the great
Day God as he began to rise over the
mountain in all his majesty and as the
early morning rays shot through that
mist and fog and vapor with its gold,
amethyst and pearl, | saw that mist
and fog and vapor began to rise and
as he continued to rise in his majes-
ty in his path across the heavens,
saw that mist and fog and yapor be-
gan to recede, back and back, and
back, until at last it had entirely dis
appeared and the old mountain sood
out in all its beauty and grandeur
MY friends, the mist and fog and
Napor of ignorance, superstition and
dissension have gathered about the
school system of Oklahoma and shut
it out from its rightful place among
the school systems of this country; but
today ! see a new dawning. AS ! see
the army of 1900 school teachers go
ing forth bearing the torches of en-
lightenment and learning, | see this
mist and fog and vapor beginning to
rise and to beat back and back from
off our state and it is only a mattd of
a short time until our great common
wealth will stand out in all its beau
ty and grandeur among the sisterhood
of states. When that time comes
there will be gathered about the base
of the old mountain this army OF 1900
teachers that have gone forth bearing
the light and carrying to the rising
generation life that they may have life
and have it more abundantly, and en-
throned upon the topmost heights will
stand r. II. Wilson, present state SUI
perintendent, and the leader in this
progressive movement for education

.SUPT, RICHARDS PAYS BEAUT|-
Full TRIBUTE TO R. |. WILSON

Last Thursday evening, Supt. Rich
ards of Ardmore, who was delivering
series of lectures to the East Centrai
State Normal at Ada, delivered an ad-
dress before large audience OF people
under the tent of the a. & NJ. Encamp-
ment which was in session there last
week, on the Oklahoma School sys-
TEN.
He reviewed the system of education
III this state in all of its phases, laying
particular emphasis upon rural schools
rural school problems and the proper
preparation of teachers for rural
school work He also showed con-
clusively that there was a great de-
mand for the work of all of the nor
mails that We have in this state; that,
in fact, the state needed an enlarge
menu of the work that is already being
done by these splendid schools.
Among other things, he spoke as fol
lows:
''Inasmuch as | am member of the
Standing Committee OF the Southern
Educational Council ON Educational
Progress in the South, | have an OPP
portunity to keep in close touch with
the progress that is being made in all
,f tba .totoc of tho SoutbIand ond thi s
opportunity has caused me to note that
there is no state in the South that has
made so much progress in her educa-
tional affairs during the past three
years as has the State of Oklahoma,
and when | say oklahoma has made
more progress educatonally than any
other state in the south, that means
that Oklahoma has made more pro
gress in the development of her school
system than any other state in the
Union because the South is making
greater and more rapid strides in the
development of her school system
than any other section of this country
During the past three years the rural
schools of this state have been i'm
proved as the schools of no other sec
ton. The average daily attendance
has been increased $4,000. Teachers in
her state schools have been placed on
the civil service basis and the matter
of holding their positions is depend
ent solely upon their efficiency. Dur
ing the past three years it has been
made possible for teachers to receive
cash on their warrants, one hundred
cents on the dollar. Not only that, but
the board of education has realized
the importance of giving rural school
teachers special training for their
work and have provided a course of
study that will prepare them for this
particular work. My friends, ! see a
new dawning in this state, for when

Easter in the Greek church this
year fell Just a week later than the
western Easter The Greeks (who for
ecclesiastical purposes include the
Russians and the peoples of the Bal

calendar. Their Easter is sometimes
before ours and sometimes after. In
1866 they both fell together, but that
was an accident, not likely to occur
again for some time to come.

clare the little fellow is badly needed

riding, a serious offense, but one
which hardly justifies so severe pun
ishment, if no other reason is in
