Says She Is Going to Come From
Wichita Falls Today or Tomor-
row and Claim Her Child
EAT AND DRINK LICENSE
LODGE SEES REUNITED PARTY
Complications arc about to arise, it
is said, concerning the Glass boy who
was duly and legally adopted by Prof,
and Mrs. D. W. Ohern last Saturday
so far as the county court and Judge
Wolf could make it legal.
But now the reputed mother, Mrs.
Elsie Albaugh, seems to be getting
very anxious about her child, and
writes she's coming from Wichita
Falls to claim him and take him from
Mr. and Mrs. Ohern. The letter is
written to Mr. and Mrs. Robt. N. Mel-
i lor. and in it is enclosed a photograph
I of herself and the boy taken, she says,
a couple of years ago. It is a good
nicture of the boy, and the mother is
a nice appearing lady showing a1
marked resemblance to him. She also^
writes that when she comes she will'
have ten or a dozen of the best people
, in Oklahoma City with her to inden-
; tify her as mother of the boy, and tes-;
/ tify as to her good character.
She writes she will be here Monday j
: or Tuesday, but Mr. Mellor does not |
I look for her until Friday. He has tel-(
j egraphed her that if she hasn't money'
to come he will send it, and probably
| she'll wait for the money.
Lawyers differ auout the present j
' status of the boy, but most of them
agree that if the mother proves her;

possession of her son and is a woman!
of good character, the work of coun- j
ty court in making out adoption pa- i
pers to Dr. and Mrs. Ohern will be set}
aside and the child returned to his j
! mother. Mr. Mellor is certain that
| when that is done, the mother will at
I once make out the necessarv papers
: transferring the child to him and Mrs.
I Mellor. Such a move will likely be
; protested, and then the matter will
j get into the courts again.
The officers, it is said, are anxious-
ly awaiting Mrs. Albaugh's arrival, so

LOST TO PURCELL PLAYERS
Professors Erwards and Crossman,
of Norman, came down one day the
latter part of last week for a game of
tennis with some of our sports of the
lawny game. The team coming from
Norman were reported good players
and it was left up to Dyer and Tomlin
to take them on. The visitors were
good players, but were no match for
our veteran players who in Some man-
ner or other trim them all alike.—

that!
Norman and her ways are better thar.
I it was one year ago? We do, and we
j firmly believe and will try to help
i make Norman a better town during
i the coming year. We are proud of
Progressive Norman. We are glad
that our lot has been cast in such a
pleasant place.
But we see before us a brighter fu-
ture. We see by faith and almost by
; sight, the dim misty curtain that
I hides tomorrow rolled away, revealing
a new born city that cannot be hid, i.
city with garments new. We see by
faith more new paved streets. We see
the old signs on Main street torn
away. We see a broad avenue leading
away to the eastward reaching the
State Sanitarium. We see Main street
lighted and called the "White Way."
We see the bursting bloom of heauti
ful flowers in many yards, and soon
the beaten paths of men will lead to
the "Citizens Park," and sweet music i
will be heard and the laughter of han-
py children will be heard where the old I
fire house once stood. This is not a
dream.
THE CIVIC COMMITTEE.
To the preacher, life's a sermon
To the joker, it's a jest
To the miser, life is money
To the loafer, life is rest.
To the lawyer, life's a trial
To the poet, life's a song;
To the doctor, life's a patient
Who needs treatment right along.
To the soldier, life's a battle,
To the teacher, life's a school
Life's a 'rood thing to the grafter,
It's a failure to the fool.
To the man upon the engine,
Life's a long and heavy grade;
It's a gamble to the gambler
To the merchant, life is trade.
Life is but a long vacation,
To the man who loves his work;
Life's an everlasting effort
To shun duty, to the shirk.
Life is what we try to make it,
Brother, what is life to you?

our town should be. On Main street
you find the West side all OK but fail
to see the weed nafch on the East.
This is some of Norman's property.
