We wonder how many citizens of
Ardmore and Carter county have a.
one time or another taken IA part IN
custer proceedings. and II those TAX
ing part in such proceedings. have
not at some time served on both
sides of this custer act which looms
so big to us just now.
A man or woman who occupies an
official position and neglects to ful-
fill the duties OF that office, can
by due process Of law. If this failure
be proven, be ousted-ejected--pu
out. A man or woman having enter
ed into a marriage covenant, is in
duty bound to fulfill all the obliga-
tons therein involved. IL failure 10
so fulfil those duties be proven by
appeal to the laws Of our land, the
party to the covenant so falling,
may be ousted. An employee who
fails to give satisfaction TO his EN-
ployer is often ousted with scant
ceremony. Some times it is virtually
the employer who is ousted Though
he may not so construe III when &
faithful and efficient employe leaves

and unappreciative employer TO ac'

sphere created by a more humane

was sweeping through LanebOrO, and he thought of something Millie Parker had said to him that evening while her young companions fox-trotted around them.
 eve need nurses,'' said Millie thOughtful4y.
 'HThey can be sent from town easily" exclaimed Mark, with a men, tai note to start something when he returned to the city.
 "We have thirty here nOw-One for each case-and now we shall need more. Doctor Wypne, do you think I could help In some easel have taken care of six people, my own, until they went-and there is no reason why I could not help save a life-I am alone except for some cousins with whom live" She watched him ex- pectantly.
 Have you any fear of the disease?"
 "No."
 '"Fhen you might do-you could help a regular trained nurse-relieve her. I will see what I can do"
 But when two days later he tried to get word to Millie Parker he learned to his dismay that she had gone to farmhouse three miles away to nurse an old man who was very i'll.
 "Poor as poverty herself, and gone to nurse man who hasn't money enough to pay for his own medicine" complained Millle's elderly cousin.
 "Cannot pay for his own medicine?" repeated the doctor. "I'll take that case myself. came down to help out, and Miss Millie's case sounds like a desperate one."
 Desperately foolish" grumbled the gently behind him.
 Millie did not question Marks unex- pected arrival at the plain little house on the rocky hillside. Old Peter .Jen- kins was very sick-he would never be any better-it was impossible to find any one to stay with .him-he had no relatives, and so Millie had come.
 "She's a pretty little girI," piped Peter in one of his lucid moments Ere minds me of my Susie-little and d. ! ways tender and careful of old folks Susies sleeping out there on the hill side along with her ma and her sisters and brothers. They left me all alone. and I'm just Waltln g for the word to go Seems asif it would never cOme," he added querulOus ly.
 Nfilie fitted into the room with a cup and spoon. ".Just a little bit of this, Uncle Peter," she cOaxed. "See. I'll take a taste m yself first to keep YOU company" The old man smiled wanly and took the medicine, his dim eyes following the blithe young form around the room. "She's as sweet and wholesome as the m wallflowers my wife planted along the stone waIl," he murmured.
 Millie blushed as she met the young doctors eyes, for she knew that he had heard her nickname of Wall- flower.
 One day Peter had a visitor, grave looking man, who stayed for awhile and talked in low tone to the sick man. The next day he came again and brought some other people with him. Doctor Wynne drowned on this, but MT. Jenkins had his own way.
 It was Millie who sat through the long night alone with the dying man; 1t was Millie who talked with him about Susie and the other children and the wife who had passed on before and who were all waiting for his com ing on that Qthar shore.

 "WhO is the girl in the cOrner?" asked Mark Wynne of his young host eSS.
 "Oh, that is Millie Parker-pretty, isn't she? But she can't dance, or, doesn't want to-they call her the 'WalltiOwer'-they are a thOughtless' bunch! v and with charming upward lift of her shoulder the most thought, less one of all turned with him and swung again into the music of the dance.
 Doctor Wynne could not dance very well and Elsie was glad to lose him for one of her own set, a graceful, black-eyed youth who sparkled as the town wit.
 'Who is that sitting with Millie Parker?" asked Elsie suddenly.
 "The medicine man is sitting in the shadow of the wallfiower," sighed George.
 "He cannot be enjoying himself" worried Elsie.
 eff looks count he is having the time or ms llfe-and say, Elsie, she LOOKS pretty tonight in that blue dress" he added.
 ''Where is Alfred Brown?" asked Elsie, changing the subject.
 ''Sh-h-h. Whisper 1.-the feverp'
 "NO! That makes thirty cases in town"
 Elsie was silent after that. The cpl demic had started, as such things usu-, ally do, in an unhealthy slum near the rivers edge-there had been whispers of polluted drinking water-of milk: bottles washed in the river water. sanitation rules violated, and the town. authorities were confronted with a grave situation.
 Mark Wynne was passing through the little town from hunting trip in the North and stopped to see his old; friend, the father of Elsie Lee, so his appearance at the little party was a: happy accident,
 Long after he had retired that night he thought of the dread disease which
