But ODOR WENT MARCHING ON

Some one lost a "hoss," said "hosS'

owner either not caring or not know
ing that his animal had departed has
never reported the matter to the po-

ficers, however, did not have long to
wait before they We're appraised that
the city had "hoss" on its hands. in
fact the animal proclaimed the fact
itself, and its proclamation was backed
up by nearly every resident In the
extreme southwestern part of the city.
The horse becoming tired of LIE
wandered into dense weed patch,
selected a soft spot on the turf, eased
its weary bones gently down and after
gazing with longing eyes at the west
ern landscape, quietly gave up the
ghost.
The exceedingly warm weather help
ed the citizens materially in locating
the source of their discomfort, and Il
delegation from southwest Ardmore
waited upon the mayor with demand
for firewood and crude oil, that fu-
neral pyre might be made.
The ingredients We're furnished and
the city scavenger delegated as the
one to kindle the flame.
After an all night vigil the atmos-
phere was considerably cleared this
morning and citizens in that section
of the city may once more open their
doors without fear of being knocked
senseless by that "wondrous odor which
permeateS the air"

with a matron in chage.
at has been the dream Of my life
to establish such a place for the wom
en- of Ardmore, especially the large
group of business women, who could
make profitable their extra half hour
at the noon hour, or perhaps at rest
intervals, to have place to congregate,
read, rest--in short relax" stated Mrs.
J. C. Thompson, to whom belongs the
credit for having formulated and car
ried out, largely through her own per
sonal efforts, the successful establish
ment of the room. I'VE want every
business woman, as well as those who
are not in the business world, to know
that the rest room has been established
for her" Mrs. Thompson continued.
"and to feel that they are welcome to
come for as long time as they can
spare, at any time"
The rooms will be used by the Del
phian Society and the Ladies of the
Leaf, two reading clubs, as club rooms.
They will be supported in the mainten-
ance of the rooms by every church or
ganization in the city, and by individ
uals who are in sympathy with the un-
dertaking, and who care to assist in
the work.
