Wise and Otherwise
JOHN MtLENDON in Ctntcr Champion
The press dispatches announce
a cold norther blowing in Chica-
go, with a little snow, and when
we reflect that our boss editor is
up there right now with a seer-
sucker coat and low quarter
shoes and a little old grip that
won't hold anything but a night
gown and a pint of cough medi-
cine, we may be pardoned for
exclaiming, "Our poor boss."
He will know how to appreciate
a good country when he gets
back to it.
oOo
When I get a good letter I
have a special file cabinet in
which I deposit it, and someday,
when I get old, and have nothing
else to do, I intend to get these
letters out and cull the best
thoughts they contain and make
a book. There is one from Mrs.
Clara Ramsey written while I
was in the west, and there is one
from mvold friend, Capt. Kellie,
while he was in the Senate, and
there are several fine character-
istic ones from old K. Lamity.
A letter came to me the other
day from Clarence Roberts, who
is at Alvin, and I prize it as
highly as any I ever received'
One came from my young friend
Willie Leim, who was in Hono-
lula. Last year I received a fine,
■ ..neonraging letter from my
friend, Prank Hutman, who
at Dresdan, Germany, and who
found time to think of his hum-
ble friend, far beyond the seas.
I have several from our Senator
Carter, written at various stages
of his public life. I have a good
letter from my old friend, Frank
Brewer, written on the day that
he died. One came today from
Dr. Westcn, of Colorado, a bril-
liant man, who will never be
properly appreciated while he
lives. I prize these letters and
intend to keep them everv one,
as long as 1 live. And when T
compile them all into a book. I'
will guarantee that it v ill be
worth reading. The following
is an extract from a private let-
ter from that good old scout out
west. I may be doing wrong to
print a private letter, but it is
too good to be jost: ' bit £
'No need to ask how you are
getting_along. I_can see your
condition reflecting in your'.lcol-
umn from week to week.-T Fel-
lows like you and me should nev-
er expect to get more out of life
than_ a comfortableTexistence.
Not but that there is only that
much in us. but that we will not
cash in at the great pawnshop of
Prosperity, the things that so
many other men hang up, but
which, when they have gotten
all the money they want, thev
can never—never—never re-
deem. You and 1 have a few
friends left on whom we could
raise a few hundred'dollars any
day_we could make up our minds
to betray by forfeiting their re-
spect for and confidence in us.
Your health and mine are worth
a few dollars^ yet, although we
have made many and heavy
drafts upon that particular de-
posit—haven't we? That's just
the difference. Men who are
willing to sacrifice the happiness

The San Augustine High School
continues to make substantial
improvements. It has recently
gone up two more notches ac-
cording to a letter received by
Superintendent Rushing, which
follows:
My dear Sir:—On June 5th,
1913, the Faculty Council on af-
filiated Schools made the follow-
ing changes in the credits of the
San Augustine High School: Add
Physics, 1 unit; Physiography,
1-2 unit; Civics, 1-2 unit.
Yours sincerely.
J. L. Henderson,
Visitor oí Schools.
A unit of credit with the Uni-
versity means nine months work
of five recitations a week, each
recitation being not less than
forty minutes in length.
This standard has been adopt-
ed by all the leading colleges and
universities of the State, and
most of them in the United
States.
Fourteen credits admits all
students to any college or univer-
sity without examination. Twelve
credits gives conditional entrance
That is four credits to be made
up during the four years course.
Few schools in Texas in towns
the size of this one can claim as
high standing.
r
At Shiloh.
he all-day singing at Shiloh
last Sunday seven miles north
ot town was attened and greatly
enjoyed by at least 500 people.
Large crowds were there from
San Augustine, Chireno, Atto-
yac and other places.
A basket dinner of all kinds
of good cookeys was spread upon
a circular table beneath some
laive/)aks and everybody was
made to feel welcome thereto by
the good people of the commun-
ity who are so widely noted for
their hospitality, proved upon
similar occasions in the past.
