IN 1858 Cardinal Mazarin was the
l. most powerful man of France, its
principal minister, the lover and per-
haps husband of the Queen Dowager,
and recognized guardian of the young
king, Louis NV. In his success he
remembered a poor sister, struggling
to raise five daughters on a little
estate in Italy. One day the post
brought to this sister a command
from her great brother that she should
come to Paris and bring the five girls.
Happiness reigned in the family cir
Gle, only married by the thought that
one of the daughters was as hOmely as
the others were handsome. The four
beauties wanted to leave her at home,
but she resisted and they finally took
this ugly duckling with them. When
Mazarin saw his ungainly niece he
consigned her to a convent. The 9th
err four became celebrated over night
for their beauty and took prominent
place at court. But the poor Cinder-
ella of the family remained in her
convent. Mazarin happened to re-
member the girl and sent for her.
He found that in two years she had
become wonderfully beautiful, more
bewitching than her sisters. And it
was not long until Marie Mancini was
one of the most sought after Of the
court beauties. The young king saw
her, became infatuated, and Marie
barely missed being queen of France
by the intervention of the cardinal and
the kings mother. But Louis finally
proved tickle, as kings have had
way of doing, and Marie found her
castles tumbled to pieces. The car
dinal determined that she should mar
ry and match was arranged with
Prince Colonna, grand constable Of
Naples. Marie consented, caring lit
tie whom she married, and went to the
altar with a last despairing look at
Louis. Unhappiness soon forced her
to leave the prince and she returned
to France. Then began a series Of
wanderings In which the beautiful
Marie did as her fancy bid with half
the prlncelings of Europe. Her own
heart broken by Louis desertion, she
cared little for the Affections she
caused others. In France, Spain and
Italy, Marie left behind her train Of
aching hearts, and there were many
stories of her cruelty. She became
more beautiful as time went on, a
woman of ivory like skin and melan-
ChOly black eyes, seemingly insensible
of her charm, but never lOathe to use
1t for her own purposes. She ruled for
a time In one court, then another,
was suspected of being spy, and
probably with justice. She handled
a good deal Of money and lived lavish
ly. Policies of state were shaped ac-
cOrding to her wish and toss of her
handsome head settled many matters
of international consequence. But
Marie never really was happy. Death
came to her in Pisa, where she wrote
this hurried and tragic epitaph, Marie

AN ORDINARY OBJECT LESSON

Once upon time there was man
named Smith, an ordinary sort of
man, who lived on an ordinary sort
of farm in an ordinary sort of COM
munity, making an ordinary sort of
living for an ordinary family, sending
an ordinary bunch of boys and girls
to an ordinary school, driving to town
over an ordinary road, selling ordin-
airy farm products at ordinary PRICES,
and buying the things an ordinary
farmer buys a the price he ordinar-
lily pays.
After while. however, an extra
ordinary idea gets loose in this mans
neighborhood. The neighbors, or some
of them, decided that the ordinary
sort of school would not longer do
for their children, so they proposed
to make a new school district, levy
a tax on themselves, build a better
school and employ better teachers,
This ordinary man named Smith,
thought it very extraordinary thing
that anybody should propose to in,
crease his own taxes. I'm against II"
he said, Our schools are as good as
the ordinary. and we can't afford to
raise the taxes any" But his neigh
bors, who were a little less Ordin-
airy, carried it over him and soon his
children were going TO school en-
tirely out of the ordinary for them.
A little later it was proposed TO make
that ordinary road which was really
a bit extraordinary when the weather
was bad, into really good road.

the thing over him. He did the ordi-
nary amount of grumbling about the
increased taxes but soon was getting
to town in half the ordinary time ano
his farm was worth nearly twice wha,
he had ordinarily. asked for it.
Then some the neighbors de-
clded that they could keep better cat

Smith would not take up with such
an extraordinary proposition. 'l'
won't work." he said, "tain't the or
dinary thing for farmers to stick to-
sether" These farmers did however
and after while it became the ordi-
nary thing in that community for a
farmer TO raise registered cattle, and
send mis- cream to the cooperative
creamery, and then this ordinary
farmer did so too.
After time he took sick with
some ordinary disease and died as
folks ordinarily do. He had an ordin-
airy funeral with an ordinary crowd
on returning from il one of the
neighbors said, II liked Smith pretty
well but he never--well. he was just
ordinary, plumb ordinary" And the
community grief over him was just
ordinary, extremely ordinary.

SLEEPING AT THE SWITCH

The Ardmoreite would ask every
public-spirited man in Ardmore, and
every man who is interested not
only in the success Of the local De-
mocracy but in the welfare OF the
city, to awaken to a realization OF
the palpably evident fact that we are
all at sleep at the switch, that 49,
last day of filing is but a trifle over
a week off and that the good of the
general community demands that some
one who has the interest of the city
at heart, who is interested in the ult-
mate good of the community should
come forward and announce, or file
as a candidate for the office Of chief
executive Of Ardmore.
Ardmore is recognized away from
home, if not at home, as one of the
leading cities of Oklahoma. 1t is a
city of Importance in the commercial
world of Oklahoma, it is the home of
an oil production which is second TO
none in the state. In addition TO
this, it is a city which is expanding,
which is developing, which is reach
ing out in the commercial world which
is making city in spite Of itself.
Men who are familiar with condi-
tions in this state, men who are ia
miliar with the opportunities which
surround Ardmore tell us that within
the next three or four years, given
proper local support, this town will
develop into a city of at least $4,000
inhabitants, that it will evelve from
an overgrown country town into a
metropolis a city of metropolitan
ways and mannerisms with business
conducted along metropolitan ways.
II this be really true, If it be pos
sible, and we believe that il is highly
probable, then we should be able to
find somewhere some one who is i'm
bued with enough public spirit TO
come forward and lend the city, as a
community of the whole the best that
he has in him. If this be true, if it
be probable that Ardmore is even
now evolving into real city with city
ways and business methods, then we
should have some one man, or wo-
man, who can spare time, who will
take the time 10 give Ardmore a
business administration and TO lead
the citizens who compose our popu-
lation. from the paths of small town
ways, into the great highway Of
metrupolitanism.
Wake up. You are sleeping at the
switch. The danger signal is turned
and unless some one grabs the lever
and throws the signal into the clear"
the express train of Possibility will
go laundering by and Ardmore. in
place of developing into a city will
become SLEEPY Hollow"

SONGBIRDS AND CIVIC
ATTRACTIVENESS

The ladies Of the civic league, of

song birds TO the citys attractiveness,
and propose to turn loose number
OF the feathered warblers in the parks
Of the town, and, also, to provide a
means for their care and protection.
We can conceive of nothing which
will add so much to the natural lovli-
ness of city's park, or bring about
closer return to nature in such
beauty spots.
The average park is laid out. sod

shrubs. provided with artificial lakes
and brooks and rivulets In an effort
TO bring into the heart Of the sordid
municipality a touch OF that fresh
ness, that something worth while
