Here is a puzzle that puzzles ev-

add to it three, multiply by five, add
to It the number of deaths of broth-

sult. The right figure will be the
number of deaths, the middle will
be the number of living sisters and
the left will show the number of liv-

A message from McKln ey Is to
he' effect that he private training
school of Prof. P. G. Jones at Mc-
Kinney opened with an increased at-
tendance. Prof. Jones is one of the

school is having great Influence in

wishes for him continued success
In his noble undertaking.—Piano

The Jones Academy is a Collin
county Institution and as its presi-
dent well says, "This county, broad-

is our field." A broad spirit is
sho'vn In the kindly expressions of
the Star-Courier regarding this

hey can not fall to be appreciated

of a time when they can own n pa-

The first day I was sent to school
I went home at recess, thinking
school was out," says Bert Walker.
As I have grown older I find that
whole lot of people did the same
thing, and the sad part of the affair
is that too many of us never went
back." In this life be careful that
you don't go home at receBS. If
you start to learn a trade or profes-
sion, start by it and master it.
Don't chase away at recess. If you
have a business attend to it and—
don't go home at recess. This going
home at recesB has_ sent many into
bankruptcy. It bus cnused mother's
tears to flow and mother's hearts to
ache. It has made crust yold bach-
elors and sour old maids. It has
tilled the world with ignorance and
made barren deserts of plains. Go-
ing home at recess means that you
4iave fallen asleep at the switch and
„vour trqln i as plunged into the
ditch. Always stay until school is
out.—Piano Star-Courier.

NEW* LOT
IMPORTANT DEAL MADE IN THIS
CITY WEDNESDAY.
FOR ELEGANT NEW CHURCH
Handsome $25,000 Structure to be
Erected—Con*! deration for
Property $7,500,
An important deal was made here
Wednesday, when the bulldiuu
committee of the First Baptist
church, through its chairman. Hon.
J. R. Gough, purchased the old I.
D. Newsome home place, corner
Benge and West Louisiana streets.
block west of the square, upon
which the new church of this de
nomination will be erected. The
lot is 100x200 feet and the former
I. D. Newsome residence will be
fitted out for the pastor's home,
while the church building will be
erected on the east side of the lot.
The price paid for the property was
$7,500.
No better location in McKinney
could have been secured for this
purpose, it is close to the- business
part of town, near the center of the
city, within easy reach of every por-
tion, and its selection reflects credit
upon the judgment and business
acumen of the committee haviny the
matter in charge. On the lot will
be erected one of the handsomest
and most modern church structures
in Texas, it will be of brick, mod-
ernly fitted out and will cost $2.r>.-
000. The Grecian style of archi-
tecture will be followed.
We congratulate the Buptists of
McKinney upon their enterprise in
securing such an Ideal location nnd

we have a farming, fruit and vegetable country and with the railroad facility
that we will soon have, why is not that fio land more profitable than your $50

SAYS 11RYAN WILL WIN.
Jonathan Lane Thinks Brilliant \'e-
brnskaii Will Triumph.
Houston, Tex., Sept. 11.—In
connection with the Bailey-Bryan
political friction recently developed
there has been a good deal of talk
in this city among the prominent
figures In politics. Jonathan Lane,
who is well known throughout the
broad limits of Texas, was asked
what he thought would be the out-
come. After a short pause he stated
that Bryan would win at first and
perhaps lay out all of his critics.
He was willing to Btate without res-
ervation that Bryan would be the
next nominee of the Democratic
party for the Presidency. He was
willing to stick to this statement in
the face of the recent utterances
made by Mr. Bryan. He continu-
ed:
"Tf he should be elected, which
may not, however, be the case, his
critics will go down and out.
Wherever they are, they will share
the same fate. Oh, I don't think
anything of the Sullivan erutlon.
He is small potatoes in this connec-
tion. Yes, I will admit that he
placed the matter In a strong atti-
tude when hep roposed to refer It
to Illinois committeemen by a poll
of the members. That Is In the na-
ture of a local affair, but the other,
between Bailey and Bryan, Is Na-
tional. Of course Bailey will al-
ways be up in Texas, but the ques-
tion Is that with the Democrats of
the Nation think?"

captured in his cotton. He says
there are not many of them, but it
may be because there is very little
