wINDOW-PANE POETS

i-piiNOi llA-DitS- l Throughout the country, particularly in the smaller towns and villages there still remain many inns and old taverns on whose window panes have been scratched rhymes, verses and epigrams by people who afterward became. or who were at the time, more or less famous. The poet Burns was what might be termed great offender" in this respect -one wonders where he procured the nec- essary diamond-and several of his glass borne rhymes have been preserved to this day It vas on window of the old Globe innn, Dumfries-a favorite resort of his that he inscribed the well known tribute to the beauty of the young daughter of the factor of Closeburn estate, near Ellis land:
 O lovely Polly Stewart, O charming Polly Stewart, There's not flower that blooms in May That's half so fair as thou art
 On another occasion the poet was dining at the inn al Moffat. when 'the charming lovely Davies" of one of his songs rode by, accompanied by a lady tall and port ly. A friend who was with him asked why God made the one lady so large and the other so little Whereupon Burns scratched the following on the pane at his elbow:
 Ask why God made the gem so small,
 And why so huge the granite? Because God meant mankind should set
 The higher value on it.
 No one has apologized more prettily for those of "scrlmpit stature"
 On an inn parlor window at Mold, in Flintshire are the following lines which are attributed to Sheridan: Were I to curse the man I hate
 From youth till I grow old, Oh, might he be condemned by Fate
 To live his life in Mold.
 While on pane of glass in the parlor window of the Red Lion at Henley, Shen- stone, the English poet, scratched the fol- lowing:
 l fly from pomp, I fly from plate, 1 fly from falsehoods S spacious grin, Freedom l love. and form I hate
 And choose my lodgings at an inn Whoe'er has travel'd life's dull round,
 Whate CT his stages may have been, May sigh to think he still has found
 The warmest welcome at an inn.
 A verseet, which is both amusing and true. may be seen on a window pane in a hostelry in the lake district, in the neigh borhood of the. Langdale Pikes It runs as follows:
 Little bits of Langdales
 Little bits of Pikes,
 Make the little tourists
 Walk their little bikes

 The following inscribed on the coffee room window of a Thames-side tavern was promptly removed by the landlord, who however, still preserves the cut-out pane as curiosity behind the bar: l told the Waiter James

PROHIBITION
AMENDMENT
SUDDEN RAISING OF QUESTION
CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION -
WILL BE DRAWN-oUT ISSUE.

Washington, June 1S.-ln the last
few days discussion has become rife
in all the cloak rooms among the
members of the house over the Hob
son-Sheppard prohibition amendment
due to the fact that the liquor people
have pushed this out for consideration
at once. 1t has been agreed to leave
this question until December and this
was the expressed desire of Mr.. Din
widdie, Mr.. Hobson and the friends
of the measure. II is felt that the
| resolution would get more votes IN
| december than it would now. All of
| the members of the lower house from
| Oklahoma will vote for it now or even
| then. but conditions are different in
other states. The sudden raising OF
this question has caused much dis
cussion among the members as to GER

der the constitution of the United
States every amendment to the con.
stitutiOn must be ratified by a two

states but by the legislatures of the
states. or by a convention called By
the legislature for that purpose, and
it has Just dawned upon the most
of them that there is no limit IN
the constitution of the United States
when the vote shall be taken, and il
any limit is placed upon it, it must
be placed by congress, so that should

before the country for adoption until
three-fourths of the states have rau

that it is unwise to continue it sc
long and have the Legislature in ev

alone as it would endanger Other
interests of the state government

ARpmoREITEs COOKING SCHOOL

The most popular school of instruc-
ton of any kind ever held in the city
is The Ardmoreites' Cooking School,
taught by Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn,
which is now in progress The Ard
moreite brought this school to Ard
more over the bids of several other
live cities and has devoted columns
of space to talking of its benefits. In
introducing the instructor, Mrs. Pen
nington stated that she did not see
the source of revenue which should
come to The Ardmoreite, but we have
been paid a dozen times over for our
efforts in the matter by the co-opera-
tion of the women and by the good
work of Mrs. Vaughn and by the gen
eral interest that has been taken by
the advertisers ana by the friends We
have made among the women of the
city. 1t is worth a fortune to news
paper to have the cooperation of the
women. They are always unselfsh In
their work, they are always interested
in those things that make for clean
er and better town, but their efforts
are seldom used in a public way.
We would like to see them organize
a civic league to promote such things
as make better and a cleaner town.
With the cooperation of the women
in that school Ardmore can do any.

We are glad to be instrumental in

KEEP AFTER THEM.

What do you think OF the propo-
sltion of placing fly traps at every
store. in every lot where livestock is
| kept, and in every wagon yard?" was
query put TO a man on the streets
this morning. His reply was the only
way to handle flies was to screen
them out. Those who have held that
| opinion, are requested to pass up and
down the streets to observe how
many merchants keep goods on the
outside to be exposed to the flies.
horses are worried and how the milch
cattle are stung by the pests. An
Ardmore man took to his home last
night quantity Of crude oil to
sprinkle over his milch COW to see
if It would drive the flies away. II
that man alone put out a trap 1t
would do little good, but if he puts
out one or two and every other man
IN the town does the same thing there
will be relief come to livestock
that will relieve them Of the greatest
worry Of the summer months. 1t will
result in gentler, safer animals to
drive and in a better and more heal
thy supply Of milk from the cows.
1t will also result in cleaner things
to eat and IN better health.
We have talked to a few of the mer-
chants and each one approached said
he would be glad to cooperate in a
movement to get rid of the flies. 1t
is a movement that will have the ear
nest cooperation Of every man in the
city who loves cleanliness and there
is no other kind here.
Here is a way in which the women
Of the cooking school and all other
friends of the town can help. You
can call the mayor and the city at
torney and the members of the city
commission over the telephone and
let them know you approve a war
fare on the flies. The commissioners
are anxious to cooperate with the
people in what they want, but they
do not like TO take the initiative in
such legislation. They want to feel
the demand first, then an ordinance
can be enforced without working a
hardship upon the people. Talk it,
get interested yourself, and interest
others. There is always a right way
to accomplish everything that it is
right to do. 1t certainly Is right for
| Ardmore to mako this campaign
against the fly. 1t is also right to
let these men know that they will
have the moral support of the people
in enforcing 1t.
VIII you be one who will phone the
mayor and the members of the com
mission today or tomorrow and let
them know you will cooperate with
them. When their phones ring about
the fftieth time they will swear al
The Ardmoreite but they will enact
the legislation next Tuesday night
and they will be publishing their in
tcntion in the paper to keep the'I
phones from ringing.

PARKER DECLARES
ACT TREAS0NABLE
SAYS BOAST OF ROOSEVELT TO
VIOLATE STATE RIGHTS IN THE
COAL FIELDS lMPEACHABLE.

New Haven, Conn, June 17.-"Some
thing is radically wrong in the mental
processes of the electorate, or else
patriotism is at its last gasp when
with hardly a whisper of protest, a re
tired chief executive may brag to rep
resentatives of the people of his trea-
sonable scheme to intrude upon state
rights and violate otherwise the funda-
mental law by establishing a military
receivership over coal mines pending
a strike, admitting without a suspicion
of decent shame that he had well CON
sidered that his offense might be i'm
achable-impeacha of course, on
ly because the acts planned would
have been unconstitutional and law
less" said Judge Alton y. Parker Of
New York, once candidate for the
presidency, in addressing the gradu-
ating class at the Yale law school to-
day.
Continuing he said:
"Our forebears, clear of head and
foresight, anticipated just such vicious
attacks by those in power and sought
to insure to us a government of laws
and not of men, and through their
wisdom such a government is ours
for a little vigilance.
"The country needs a host of clear
headed active men in the electorate
who shall discern and brand with the
infamy it deserves every assault upon
the constitutional foundation of our
liberty, prosperity and happiness"
