GLADYS STANSIFER
On the morning of Sept. 11th,
the death angel invaded our midst
and claimed for His own our
friend Gladys. What sorrow fills
our hearts when we think that
never again on earth shall we see
or listen to her voice in conversa
tion. She was only 16 years old —
taken away in her young woman
hood.
We would say to her friends
and relatives, weep not for she is
sweetly resting. Her life’s work
is ended; her voice, is forever stil;
her chair is vacant. And while we
weep over the mound that covers
her sacred form, her spirit is bask
ing in the sunlight of God’s
glory.
Oh, how she is missed at Sun
day school, but so sadly missed at
home. Gladys always liked to go
to church and Sunday school. She
was always kind to her friends

IN LOVING MEMORY
Os our darling mother, Mrs. Irena
Massey, who was born June 4th,
1855, died Thursday morning at
J:3O o’clock, March 28, 1912.
She would have been 57 years
of age in June. She was the
daughter of Reuben and Susan
Childress and the wife of N. B.
Massey, who passed on just about
three years ahead of her.l believe
papa was inside the pearly gates
waiting to welcome her home.
She was a sufferer of Bright’s
disease; she was sick about four
months; confined to her bed three
months. She said for sometime
she didn’t think she would get
well. She said she wanted us all to
live right. By the help of God we
want to live so we can meet our
loved ones in heaven, where there
wil be no more parting.
She was a kind and loving
mother, always giving us good ad
vice. She leaves three children,
Mrs. R. R. Shaver, Ben and Virgie
Massey; four brothers and a host
of relatives and friends to mourn
our loss.
Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But ’tis God that has bereft us —
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
When in heaven in joy to greet
thee,
Where no farewell tears are
Shed.

| Haughty
; Being the Gloomy Story of
a Traveling Showman
By 0. HENRY
Copyright. 1907, by the McClure
company.
Golden by day uud silver by night, a
new trail now leads to us across the In
dian ocenu. Dusky kings and priuces
have found out our Bombay of the
west, and few he their trails thut do
not lead down Broadway on their Jour
ney for to admire and for to see.
If chance should ever lead you neur
a hotel that transiently shelters some
one of these splendid touring grandees,
I counsel you to seek Lucullus I’olU
among the republican tuft hunters that
besiege Us entrances.
1 first saw Mr. I'olk coming down
the steps of the hotel at which sojourn
ed Ills highness the gnekwar of Haro
da. most cullghteued of the Mnhratta
princes, who of late ate bread and salt
in our metropolis of the Occident.
I.ucullus moved rapidly as though
propelled by some potent moral force
that imminently threatened to become
physical. Behind him closely follow
etl the Impetus—a hotel detective.
Safe on the sidewalk, I.ucullus Polk
turned and shook a freckled fist at the
caravansary, and, to my Joy, he hegau
to breathe deep invective in strange
words:
’’Rides in bowdahs, does he?" he
cried loudly and sneeringly. “Rides
on elephants in howdnhs and calls
himself a prlncel Kings—yah! Comes
over here and talks horse till you
would think he was a president and
then goes home and rides in a private
dining room strapped on to an ele
phant!”
I murmured a few words of sympn
thy.
“The last one I sold.” continued the
displeased oner “was to that three
horse tailed Turkish pasha that came
Over a year ago. Five hundred dollars
he paid for it, easy.”
As soon as Lucullus Polk got cool
enough I picked him up, and with no
greater effort than you would emplov
in persuading n drowning man to
cluteli a straw, I Inveigled him into
accompanying me to n cool corner iu n
dim case.
And it came to pass that men »"rv
ants set before us lirewage, and Lncul
lus Polk spake unto me, relating the
wherefores of his beleaguering the
nntechambers of the princes of the
earth.
“Did you ever hear of the 8. A. anu
A. T. railroad in Texas? Well, that
don’t stand for Samaritan Actor's Aid
Philanthropy. I was down that way
managing a summer bunch of the gum
and syntax chewers that play the
Idlewlld parks 111 the western ham
lets. Os course wo went to pieces
when the soubrette ran away with a
prominent barber of Beevlile. I don’t
know what became of the rest of the
company. I believe there were some
salaries due, and the last I saw of the
troupe was when I told them that -13
cents was all the treasury contained.
I say I never saw any of them after
that, but I heard them for nliout twen
ty minutes. I didn’t have time to look
back. But after dark I came out of
the woods and struck the S. A. and
A. P. ageut for means of transporta
tion. He at once extended to me the
courtesies of the entire railroad, kind
ly warning me. however, not to get
aboard any of the rolling stock.
“About 10 the next morning I steps
off the ties Into n village that calls
Itself Atascosa City. I bought n thirty
cent breakfast and a ten cent cigar
and stood on Main street Jingling the
three pennies in qiy pocket—dead
broke.
“All of a sudden, while 1 was stand
ing on the edge of the wooden side
walk, down out of the sky falls two
fine gold watches into the middle of
.the street. One hits a chunk of mud
and sticks. The other falls hard and
flies open, making a fine drizzle of lit
tle springs and screws and wheels. 1
looks up for o balloon or an airship;
but. not seeing any, I step* oil the
sidewalk to Investigate.
“But I hear a couple of yells and sec
two men running up the street In leatli
er overalls and high heeled boots and
cartwheel hats. One man is six or
eight feet high, with open plumbed
Joints and a heartbroken cast of coun
tenance. He picks up the watch that
has stuck in the mud. The other man.
who is little, with pink hair and white
eyes, goes for the empty case and says.
‘1 win.' Then the elevated pessimist
goes down under his leather leg bol
sters and hands a handful of twenty
dollar gold pieces to his albino friend
"The little man hustles away with a
kind of Swiss movement toward a Jew
elry store. The heartbroken person
stoops over and takes a telescopic view
of my haberdashery.
•' 'Them's a mighty slick outfit of ha
blliments you have got on. Mr. Man.'
says he. ‘J’ll bet a boss you never ac
quired the right, title and Interest in
and to them clothes In Atascosa City'
'• 'Why. no,' says I. being ready
eoough to exchange personalities with
this moneyed monument of melancho
ly. ‘1 bad this suit tailored from a spe
cial line of roaterieks. vestures and
pantings in St. Louis. Would you
mind puffing me sane.’ says I. 'on this
watch throwing contest?’
" ‘Me and George.' he explains, ’are
un from the ranch, having a spell of

But along comes one
of these oil prospectors and begins to
bore. He strikes a gusher that flows
out 20,000—0 r maybe it was 20,000,000

George gets $100,000—#75,000 apiece—
for the land. So now and then we
saddles up and hits the breeze for Atas- |
eosu City for a few days of excitement
and damage.
" ‘You must have knocked around a
right smart.’ goes ou this oil greuse
us. ‘1 shouldn't be surprised if you
have saw towns more livelier thau
what Atascosa City Is.’
“Then this Mother Cnry's chick of
the desert sits down by me and we
hold a conversation fest. It seems that
he was money poor. He’d lived in
ranch camps nil his life, and he con
fessed to me that his supreme idea of
luxury was to ride Into camp tired out
from a roundup, eat a peck of Mexican
beans, hobble his brains with a pint of
raw whisky ami go to sleep with his
boots for a pillow. When this barge
load of unexpected money entile to him
and Ills pink but perky partner George,
and they hied themselves to this clump
of outhouses called Atascosa City, you
know what happened to them. They
had money to buy nnythlng they want
ed, hut they didn’t know what to want.
Their Ideas of spendthrlftlncss were
limited to three—whisky, saddles und
gold watches.

■we shook hands on nil agreement that
I was to act ns his guide, interpreter
and friend in and to the aforesaid
wassail and amenity. And Solomon
Mills, which was his name, was to pay
all expenses for a month. At the end
of that time if I had made good as
director general of the rowdy life he
wus to pay me SI,OOO.
“The next day George, who was mar
ried of something, started hack to the
ranch. Me and Solly, as I now called
him, prepared to shake off our moth
balls and wing our way against the
are lights of the Joyous east.
“Solly puts SII,OOO in century bills In
one pocket of his brown ducks and
bills of lading for SIO,OOO on eastern
banks in another. Then I resume dip
lomatlc relations with the 8. A. and
A. I’., and we hike in a nort It westerly
direction on our circuitous route to the
spice gardens of the Yankee orient.
“We stopped in Han Antonio long
enough for Holly to buy some clothes
and eight rounds of drinks for the
guests and employees of the Menger
lintel nnd order four Mexlean saddles
with silver trimmings nnd white An
gora Htiaderos to lie shipped down to
the ranch. From there we made a big
Jump to St. I»u1h. We got there In
time for dinner, and I put our tbumi
prints on ttie register of the most ex
lienslve hotel in the city.
“•Now." says I to Holly, with a wink
at myself, 'here’s the first dinner sta
tlon we've struck where we can get a
real good plate of beans.' And while
be was up In Ills room trying to draw
water out of the gas pipe I got one
Huger in the buttonhole of the bead
waiter's tuxedo, drew him apart, Iu
serted a two dollur bill and closed hiui
up again.
"‘Frankoyse.' says I. *1 have a pat

for us such as you serve to Dave Fran
els and the general passenger agent ot

"At 0 o'clock me and Holly sat down
to dinner Hprend! There's nothing
been seen like It since the Cam Ism
snack. It was nil served ut once. The
chef called It dlnnay a la poker, it’s a

veal, mock turtle soup and chicken

REVIVAL MEETING
When we say revival we trust
that such it will be. A “pro
tracted meeting” may not be a
revival. The word revival means
“to return to life." This is a gen
eral term, and its application is
as broad as we may see fit to use
it. If business is dull the citizens
would say, “Let us devise a plan
that will revive our business.” If
the intellectual or social interest
of the community is on the wane
the same Question, “What can be
done to revive them,” would a
rise. If the religious vitality of
our community is below par, the
same statement, “We need a re
vival,” is on the lips of the peo
ple. (
Bishop Pierce ’sdefinition of a
revival on Bible lines was: “God
worshipping, neighbor-loving and
debt-paying revival.” Do we need
revival life on such lines? The
answer is apparent. The primary
condition for improvement in
any line is the deep realization of
its need. (Contentment with pres
ent achievements in any under
taking is paralizing to its progres.
We could have no more auspic
ious prospect for a revival than
for our people to be alarmed over
the present spiritual atrophy of
our community. We could then
expect the into then co-operate
with our organized forces to bring
it to pass.
We have planned to begin this
meeting May Ist. Rev. M.
Dunaway will assist us. He is
known personally by some of our
people. All who have had thepriv
ilege of being in bis meetings have
felt the influence of a man who is
in touch with God.
We cordially invite the pastors
and members of other churches to
co-operate with us in thismeeting.
A real revival will result in a har
vest for all the churches.
Good singing is a vital adjunct
to any meeting. We trust that all
will help at this point.
Our presiding elder, Rev. W.
T. Irvine, will be with us for the
second Quarterly conference on
April 28th. He will preach at 11
o’clock on Sunday. The hour for
conference will be announced
later.

In Praise of Courage,
Certain virtues are divided from

flHcern very clearly to see the differ

same !» true of courage as dlstln
