A lump which ! could not swallow
came into my throat and the others
hid their faces. He looked so young
and boyish. SO strong and full Of life,
that to think of him still in death
chilled our very hearts and minds.
Il amt 30 good that like to think
Of dying, but it has got to be- One or

to me. and want to thank you. Think
kindly Of me, boys, and-and don't
forget too soon. as l like to be re-
membered."
He slowly shook hands with W, one
by one. The lips Of the boys were
drawn and It seemed to me that l
was committing a crime. Just as he
held my hand a sunny.faced girl ran
up to Jim. I'VE wants q tory" she
lisped.
He stopped and tossed her into the
air. Jim won't tell stories any more

clasping him about the neck as If to
prevent. Where is Jim going?"
Way of, where they don't worry
and where they amt down on a man
because he amt rich and great;
where everything Is SO nice and sweet,
and where even Jim can learn to be
good"
The child stared at him in amaze
ment. THAT must be heaven, JIM"
1T is heaven, hope, and some day
you will meet me over there" He
kissed her softly, placing her upon
the ground, while she ran to tell the
rest.
Follow me, but don't try to help"
He FASTENED to the door, sprang upon
the back Of his mare and turned. His
face was lighted with q smile, but it
was tranfixed with new radiance.
The face Of the rough miner was
made beautiful by the greatness and
mightiness Of his deed and sacrifice.
We followed, and as we waited we
could hear the thud, thud, thud of
his hammer and the grating of his
chisel, and even the falling Of stone.
He began to whistle the same old
tune he loved SO well-an old church
hymn. We stood with bowed heads
and beating hearts waiting for the
end.

On Having Friends.

On the psychology of having friends,
Dr. George A. Coe said at the last
meeting OF the American Psychoiog,
cal association that the naive under
standing would assert, first, that what
each friend enjoys is the other friend,
not merely goods to me mediated by
him, and, second that the reason why
a giver is valued above his gift Is
that a giver has experiences. We value
objects not only as experienced, but
as having experiences. The sayings
There is continuity of substance be
tween minds" and individuals over
lap" do not sufficiently account for
the value attached to having" a
friend He says, in effect, that psy-
chology is "up a stump in its attempt
either to deny or to translate into 9th
er terms the simple assertion that
one enjoys a second experiencing
through friendship.

Primary Program.

The school patrons Of Ardmore
were given a genuine treat last even
ing by the little men and women of
the first four grades Of the public
schools. These four grades are
among the most interesting years OF
school life-the age when each pupil
does his or her best, and their ef-
forts last evening made all the grown
ups rejoice in Ardmore's schools
The program was divided into four
parts. and each scene represented
the primary work of that school
The pupils of Franklin school open
ed ;he program with "Dollie Dear's
Picnic" a charming little operetta, a
story that has happened in the life
of every little boy and girl, The girl
les had settled down to give the dolls
the picnic they deserved, when three
schievous boys decided to assist
in the capacity that boys with twink
ling eyes usually assist. The first dif-
ficulty over, the merry boys help
themselves to the dolls lunches, so
like mischievous boys. In song and
rhy!ne the doll-mothers urge them to
mend their ways. The operetta
closes with a grand finale by the four
grades in chorus.

PEPPER TALKS
Honesty is Intelligence.

There is saying that "it takes a
smart man to be a crook" But ii
takes a smarter man to be Honest,
for Honesty in its last analysis, is
nothing but Intelligence. The man
who has brains sufficient to realize
that Honesty at all times is the best
policy is the man who is the most
Intelligent
To be fair with yourself, is to be
Honest with yourself, and to be Hon
est with yourself is to show to the
world that you are very Intelligent
Dishonesty always robs man OF
his Honor, always kills the natural
workings of his Brain and blasts at
the vitals of his Heart Feeling. Sc
that Dishonesty of whatever nature is
always Ignorance.
Brains used for Dishonest purpose
require Just as much time and effort
as though directed along high and no
bic channels, and yet the returns are
always lower for the man who is fore
ed to despise himself and to turn
traitor to the best feelings and senu
mente that he has, at the same time
making himself an outlaw before all
the world.
Honesty is always Intelligence. II
you doubt it in the least manner, put
it to the test and you will find that
nothing is truer than this statement

EXPERT OPINION
ON FUEL OILS
MCCULLOUGH BELIEVES OKLAHO
MA SHOULD BE NOTHERN TER
MINUS OF NAVY PIPE LINE.

H. p Mccullough who was written
the following news story on oils es-
pecially for the Ardmoreite, has been
in close touch with the oil situation
for a number of years. He is well ac-
quainted with conditions in Texas, Ok
lahoma, Louisiana and Pennsylvania
and hisopinions are entitled to seri-
Gus consideration.
THE solution of the present de
plorabe conditions existing through
out the Mid-Continent fields, is in
sense still remote, although many
rumors are current as to the various
proposed pipe lines, a new one origin
ating almost every day, but in the end
il lies between the navy department
and one of the large oil corporations.
The feasibility of the proposed navy
line is one OF the important questions
occupying the minds of the officials
of the department. While many are
