How plainly they appear.

They nre absurd.
Paihetically queer.
It's hard 10 see
How they can be
With such persistence shown,
Since they stand out,

So plain they must be known.

DIES BEFORE HIS
PRAYER ARRIVES
Mayer Levi Receives Word of Cousins
Demise Yesterday and Today
Opens Letter Written by Him.

Mayer Levi was shocked to receive
yesterday morning a telegram an
nouncing the death Of his cousin, Leon
Dettlebach, at Richmond, Va. This
morning when Mr.. Levi opened his
mail he found therein letter written
by his cousin the evening before his
death, enclosing a prayer, giving the
course which it has so far Travelled
and saying, This prayer is to be sent
all over the world. 1t is said that in
ancient days all who wrote it would be
free from all calamities and all who
passed it would meet with some calam-
ity or misfortune. Copy it and send it
to nine OF your friends, and on the
tenth day you will meet with some
great joy"
The prayer follows:
An ancient prayer-Oh Lord. I
implore Thee to bless all mankind.
Bring us to Thee, Keep US to dwell
with Thee.
Mr.. Levi will carry out his dead
cousins last request

AT THE ILLINOIS.

A special feature of Bringing Up
Father" the musical comedy adapta-
ton of George McManus' newspaper
cartoons of that name, which will be
at the Illinois theatre tonight, is a
song in which the female members OF
the company will be seen in costumes
and dances of all the periods through
which this country has passed since
the discovery Of America. 1t is said
that wherever thus far presented the
speciality has never failed to arouse
enthusiasm.
"A Pair of Sizes" the farce by Ed
ward Peple, which ran for an entire
year at the LOngacre theatre, New
York, will be the attraction at the Illi-
nois theatre next Sunday 1t received
a degree Of praise from the usually Sc
we're metropolitan critics in terms that
almost exhausted the superlatives.
There has been no dissenting opinion
as to the ingenuity Of the fantastic
idea on which the plot is based and the
swift movement and comic intensity of
the details make an endless entertain
ment of rarely enjoyable fun. The
story concerns George B. Nettleton
and T. Boggs Johns, manufacturers of
a digestive pill, who are continually
quarreling about their respective
claims of being the brains of their
prosperous business. With a burst of
temper, each declares he wants to
break the partnership. This is not
easy to arrange, but when their lawyer
comes they dispute as much about the
details of the split as they had pre-
viously done about the details Of the
business. They finally accept their
lawyers suggestion to decide the dis
solution by drawing hand at poker
They agree that the one who wins
shall be master of the business, and
the other is to be his servant for a
year. If either party breaks the con-
tract, he is to forfeit $4,000 and his
interest in the business. There are also
numerous cash fines and penalties.
Also absolute secrecy is demanded.
This makes Boggs' position exceed
ingly painful to him when he is in
stalled as butler in the Nettleton home,
and his sweetheart comes to visit them
as a guest. He dares not tell her his
reason for his mental position and his
tribulations are made worse through
the insistent interest of an eccentric
English housemaid, who determines to
capture him for a husband. This
amusing complication excites no end
Of cor1cal situations and the fun is
fast and furious until his sweetheart
takes hand in the game and proves
that lone queen Of hearts can bea,
| pair Of skies.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from Indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to
constipated condition. Bloat, with its
attendant mental depression, sick
headache the belching of sour stom-
ach gases, etc, are frequently due to
inaction of the bowels. Relieve the
congestion and the trouble usually dis
appears. The use of cathartics and
purgatives should be avoided, howey-
er; these shock the system unneces-
sariy and at best, their effect is but
temporary. A mild laxative is far
preferable.

THE THREE TEACHERS.

The young lady teachers who lost
their personal effects in the fire which
practically destroyed the Brady home
on North Washington street, Satur-
day afternoon, state that they sincere
ly appreciate the kindness of their
friends in offering to help them to re-
outfit their wardrobes and also they
sincerely appreciate the kindness Of
the Ardmoreite, but they feel that their
loss was not heavy enough to justify
them In accepting aid from others. In
this connection the friends of the
young ladies say they will receive
some help whether they feel justified
in accepting It or not. In the mean
time the best of spirit prevails on both
sides. Some of the pupils of the
schools are also preparing to arrange
for some showers to be held for the
young ladies', and Ardmore is too gen
erous to see them lose without render
ing some service in helping those who
are doing so much for the education
al life of the city.

Jose's Light That Failed" Company
Nearly Perish From Cold on
Burning Desert Sands"

A certain beautiful and popular
song is built around the theme till
the sands OF the desert grow cold"
The burning love that vowed to en-
dure until such an unheard Of and un-
expected calamity occurred would
have met an untimely end had it been
exposed to the biting winds that
swept over the Sahara Desert" loca-
ton which producer Edward Jose and
his Pathe players found on Fayer-
weather's Island eff the city Of
Bridgeport, Conn, recently. Kipling,
when he wrote The Light Th t
Failed" which Mr.. Jose is now put
ting into Pathe Gold Rooster Play,
little reckoned when he placed his
characters in the blistering heat of a
Hades-like desert of the troubles he
was causing an earnest, able and ar
tlstic director anxious to get his pic
ture full of real atmosphere. But it
was SO, and old Boreas of the nasty
disposition d kicked out Aeolus, Zephy-
rus, and all the rest of that gentle
neurological crew and set out to do
his darndcst. He succeeded
The stately caravan of shivering
Arabs, British soldiers, camels and
horses moved across the sands under
til; eagle eye of Mr.. Jose, which
eagle eye was shedding tears under
the promptings of the heartless gale.
Remember, men," shouted the pro-
ducer, you are fairly shrivelling from
intense heat! You are parched, ex-
hausted and dripping with perspira-
ton. You must reg. to- all thatw
Frozen fingers sought for handlter-
chiefs md mopped brows that were
blue with cold. The man who touched
his icy rifle barrel once with his bare
hand showed surprising reluctance
to do it again. The ships of the des-
ert' ploughed through the sand as
stiff-legged as so many automatic
toys, squealing with protest.

''REG|STER" IS
WARNING GIVEN
To ALL VOTERS
ANYONE FAILING TO TAKE AO-
VANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNI-
TY SHOULD NOT BLAME OFF,
GALS IF REFUSED BALLOT.

Register Dunlap, for Carter county,
Chairman S. A. Apple of the county
central committee, and every election
officer are urging the voters of the
city and county precincts to register
early and have the matter done with
as it will be absolutely necessary that
the law be complied with by every
voter in the county if he expects to
participate in the primary and gener-
al election.
The first day of registration in the
city was not productive of heavy re-
suits. This was especially true of the
democratic voters who seem to think
that they have plenty of time 1t was
not true of the other two parties, how
ever, and a perusal of the registration
books to date will reveal the fact that
the opposition is taking an early ad-
vantage Of the registration time limit
and getting their names down early.
This condition the county chairman
and all good democrats want to warn
against, delays are often dangerous
and the few moments required to seek
the register and get his name enrolled
is well spent by every democratic vot-
er in the county.
The coming campaign promises to
be a very interesting one and the
democratic forces should not take any
chances in making it the most COM
plete victory and overthrow of all OPP
position since statehood, and this can
be done if all precinct officers see
that the vote is registered and then
voted upon election day.
