F0RREARANCE.

When little feller does his level best
When he goes ahead and tries to meet
the test,
Don't be one Of those who flout him.
Even though your mind may doubt
him;
Let your grim, resentful thought be un-
expressed.
Though he opens up his voice an slaps
his chest
In a way that fills your being with un-
rest,
Words of wrath don't be declaring,
1t is time to be forebearing
When a little feller does his level best.
With surprising strength we cannot all
be blessed
Each one of US at moments has con-
fessed
That his nerve was slightly shaken
BY some task he'd undertaken
Whose proportions he had not correctly
guessed.
SO in times of agitation and unrest,
When existence seems a disappointing
quest,
II he can't quite go the distance,
Try to lend him some assistance
When little feller does his level best

ARDMORE TEAM
HIGHLY PRAISED
WORK AT SCOTTISH RITE REUNION
AT MALESTER BRING FLAT
TERING COMMENT.

At the Scottish Rite reunion just
ended at the temple in McAlester, the
team from Ardmore was the recipient
OF much praise for its excellent degree
work. The class taking the degrees at
this reunion was the largest since the
construction of the temple and number
ed 23O. When the class organized Joseph
c. Monforte of Tulsa was elected presi.
dent while Frank Lezant Ketch of Ard
more was chosen vice-president. OF the
work of the Ardmore team, the McAles-
ter News-Capital said:
The thirtieth degree was conferred
last evening by a team from Ardmore
and the temple lobby was buzzing this
morning with praise and commendation
for the team. Those who saw the de-
gree conferred declare that the work was
done better than ii usually is and as
many Of the men v'ho took part in the
degree had never been on the temple
stage before, they spoke of it as being
wonderful The Ardmore team brought
all the men needed in the degree, even
TO the "supes' At other times teams
from abroad have conferred degrees here
but never before has any team brought
all the men needed to confer the degree.
The Ardmore men simply took the de-
gree and staged it themselves without
the assistance of any one The team
was made up as follows:
Preceptor, Lorenzo Henry Love, 80
degree honorary; marshal Of ceremonies.
Roy Melisander Johnson, 80 degree X. c.
{. H.; spirit Of departed, Edward Sand
I'm, 81 degree; Hierophant Charles c.
Weith, 81 degree h. c. c. H. sacrificer.
Arthur Gordon Straehley, 80 degree X.
c. c. II; lieutenant of the guard Roy
Melisander Johnson, 32 degree X. c. c.
r.; supreme judge, Otis NJ. Smith, 80
Negree X. c. c. H.; provost of Justice,
'. Roy Shores, 32 degrees X. c c. H.;
ilrst sub proceptor, Edgar Sandlin. 80
degree. The frank judges were also Ard.
more men who were selected after they
reached here. This degree is divided into
Tour parts which accounts for so many
doubles. 1t will be a long time before
the good work done by the Ardmore
team in this degree will be forgotten.
Ardmore has staged the third degree
here several times in the past and the
work has always been admirably done
1t might be added that even the candi
date in the degree was an Ardmore man,
o. c. Lasher.

SNOW AGAIN
TIES RAILROADS

Washington, Jan. 26.-Just as rail
road administration officials encouraged
by rising temperatures over most Of the
country had begun today to discuss re
moval Of the general freight embargo on
three Eastern trunk lines, reports
reached them Of snowstorms with their
train of disastrous effects on rail trans
portation.
1t was the beginning of the third
week of abnormally low temperature
and heavy SHOWS with which the rail
roads have struggled since their control
bv the government. The immediate re-
suit was the temporary abandonment
of hope of removing the existing EN-
barge on some Eastern trunk lines TO-
morrow or Monday, and the intimatioh
that it might be necessary to extend II
further.

He WANTS WILSON
TO KNOW HIS VIEW

Basel, Switzerland Jan. 2G-Count
C2ernin the Austria Hungarian foreign
minister, after delivering his speech in
reply to the recent addresses Of Presl.
dent Wilson and Premier Lloyd George.
indicated in subsequent remarks, under
questioning Of socialist interrogAtors
that the speech had been delivered quite
as much that his views might come to
President Wilson's attention as for the
benefit of those whom he was immc.
diately addressing.
Count C2ernin declined to elaborate
upon his utterances regarding Italy,
Rumania and Servia.
On the subject Of Germany, Count
C2ernin pointed out that her situation
was different from that of Austria
Germany, he said, possessed not only
European territory but great colonies,
and it was natural she should not sur
render the pledges she Is2ld until she
had guarantees that she would recover
her possessions. Austria he added, had
less need of such pledges than her ally.
