THOUGHTS.

To marry with only love in tbo ,,., is the height of folly. D'
 Love may be a very beautiful tb,Ds but you cannot live on it. The h.te. would not give you a loaf of breod ,s carload of love.
 The idea seems to prevail wit, many young men and young womsn that the discussion of monet..a matters spells the true romance .ns sentiment Of courtship. Of one thing they may be quite sure. The banni, ness of the marriage will be irreyo. cably spoiled if they do not under. stand their financial position.-Amv Van Worden Spencer.

SANITY TRIAL
Of HARRY THAN
IS STARTED
SEVENTH ATTEMPT TO GAIN HIS
FREEDOM SINCE HIS ARREST
NINE YEARS AGO FOR MURDER
OF WHITE.

New York, June 22.-Harry X.
Thaw's seventh attempt to gain MS
freedom since his arrest nine years
ago this month for the murder OF
Stanford White, was begun here Tues-
day with the selection of jury to in
nuire as to his sanity. If the jurors
decide in his favor, and Justice Hen
drick. presiding, who has the power to
reverse the verdict, accepts 1t, Thaw
will obtain permanent release from
the Matteawan insane asylum, where
he was incarcerated after being ac-
ouitted of murder at his second trial
and from which he escaped in 1913
The selection of the jury occupied
the entire session of the court but It's
completion in one day was regarded
as rapid progress when compared with
the time it took to fill the jury box on
the two previous occasions on which
Thaw has faced jury. Wednesday j.
B. Stanchfield, his attorney, will out
line mis- case and the taking of testi-
mony will begin. Thaw has about tif-
ty witnesses, including a number OF
alienists. to prove that he now is sane
and entitled to his freedom and the
state also has large number to testl-
fv against him. Among the latter prob
ably will be VIM. Travers jerome,
Thaw's prosecutor at his previous
trials.
Thaw said he was entirely satisfied
with the jury.
They are an intelligent body of
men," he said, "and | will have little
difficulty in convincing them that | am
as sane as they are"
Thaw. who arrived in court early,
was accompanied by his mother and
sister. Mrs. George Lauder Carnegie.
He told newspaper men he was con
fdent he would be free within two
weeks.
| This is Thaws fourth attempt to OBJ
tain his freedom from custody by
means of a habeas corpus, but is the
first instance in which his plea will
be heard by jury. Thaw is so conf
dent of success that he is planning tc
attend the Panama Pacific exposition
after the trial.
1t was stated that Thaw's counse
will object to a lengthy questioning
of their client concerning the murder
of Stanford White They contend tha
Thaw's mentality is the only question
to be decided.

Robert F. Scivally is here today
from the farm at Springer where he
has been busy with the harvest. He
states that the binders are busy, and
in all probability by Saturday night
all the grain in the county will have
been cut. If the sun keeps shining,
he says, the threshing season will
open next week
The last rain which fell was so
hard rain, and the farmers have
been so busy with the grain that
the land has not been stirred, and
Mr.. Sciyally says a shower of rain
about Saturday would be very fine

MERCHANTS
ANXIOUS FOR
COUNT
AT MEETING OF cRsblT MEMS
ASSOCIATION LAST NIGHT EV-
ERY ONE PRESENT PLEDGED
SUPPORT.

All merchants and business men
so far interviewed, are ready to assist
in the free county fair movement, and
last night at the regular meeting OF
the Ardmore Credit Mems associa-
tion, the movement was fairly started
that means success to the enterprise,
as the county by townships have by
votes of the taxpayers, indicated that
they wanted the fair.
IL was estimated that two thousand
dollars would be necessary to erect
the necessary buildings In order to
have the fair this fall, and of this
amount the city passed resolution
last night pledging one-fourth of this
amount, or five hundred dollars. The
business men of the city are pre-
pared to raise the balance, and now
that this is assured the board OF
county commissioners Will authorize
the levy when they meet next Monday
Secretary West of the Chamber of
Commerce stated that Ardmore was
particularly fortunate in having a
fair ground already within the city
limits, with the exception of the
buildings, but, with the spirit so far
dispisyed by the business men, this
will be easily overcome.
Some opposition was developed in
sections of the county over the in
creased taxation necessary to operate
the fair, but this was soon dispelled
as soon as it was shown that the
individual cost to each taxpayer
would be less than ten cents on every
thousand dollars of taxable property
according to the figures obtained from
the county tax assessors office.
In other words, man paying taxes
on one thousand dollars would be as
sessed about ten cents more for the
| privilege of taking his entire family
to a county fair for three days, where
everything was absolutely free. These
figures are based upon the valuation
of the county as rendered by the tax
assessor upon the basis of one-eighth
of mill levy.
McAlester and Tulsa have voted
bonds to erect the necessary build
ings and build the race track, and
with nearly all the counties in the
state taking advantage of the fair law
fine circuit can be established
throughout the southern portion o.
the state and a good race circuit re
suit.
The Chamber of Commerce ant
several business men are busily en-
gagged on this proposition and will be
ready to appear before the board o
county commissioners next Monday.
