L«*t!er From an Old Timer.

To The Daily Voice:
As 1 am an old timer 1 thought I
would contribute a few lines to the
“Old Settlers.’ Column”:
I came to this country in 18*>(). 1
was ten years old and I have lived
in Coleman county ever since.
We settled on dim Ned creek, six
miles below Camp Colorado. Cebra
Smith was in charge of Federal
troops at Camp Colorado at that
time, hut turned it over to Confed-
erate troops ir„ 1851.
Brown wood was a very small
town and on the other side of the
Bayou from where it is now. There I the board of trustees

The following letter, written by an
educated Chinaman of Peking, China,
is in answer to a letter written by
Professor J. C. Hays, of Gouldbusk,
Texas, in which Mr. Hays recited a
few facts concerning American peo-
ple. J. John Chen is twenty-seven
years of age. He acquired u college
education at Age of twenty-one und
received all of his English training
in Tsing Huh College, Peking, China.
The letter is published verbatim:

March 8th. 1015. i
Mr'jJ. Claude Hays,
Oouldbjsk, Texas
Dear Friend: I should have ini- j
mediately replied to your melancholy
note of 23rd of January, had 1 not
been considerably indisposed since
the period of its receipt. Your favor,
however, was heartily accepted, he- j
cause after waiting so long I discov-;
er that you are to be so kind as al-
lowing me to have the correspondence
with you and so be a friend of you
if possible. I should like to see you
when I come to the states, and 1
should like to post you my picture
later.
Your letter is extremely interest-
ing. The Chinese characters you
wrote on the envelope surprised me
very much. I have shown them to
my friends, who did not believe they
were written by a foreigner, who has
not studied it at all. Perhaps may
I he excused to tell you a few rule*
for writing Chinese characters:
No matter the character is long or
fk,t every word muts occupy a square
as others. Try to write a column of
words in a verdical column. But at
sometime we may write the complex-
ive word in a larger spare and the
simpler in u srnuller one in order to
have them vividly arranged.
Now, 1 beg to tell you something
ul>out our home life, whtefT Is, of
course, quite different from yours.
But there is a great trouble that
China s so large a country, 1.1 is im-
possible to state an example to rep-
resent the custom of our whole na-
tion. Since my home i> in kiarfzsu.
nearby tshanghui, I will try- to tell
you tlu* custom of my native pro-
vince.
I think the most important and,
different from yours a- well is the
marriage custom. Now, our people
try to adopt your custom during re-
cent, years as to select one’s fiancee
for oneself, blit it is still scarcely
found in the provinces along the
sea coast and not at all in the inner
provinces. The usual way of getting
a wife is merely through the pro
toss of matchAiakers, who are usual-
ly the. relative of the families of the
future bride and bridegroom. So
ninety out of a hundred have not
seen their own wives before the mar-
riage Liking place. The worst way
is that which is matched by a kind
of old ladies, whose vocation is sel-
ling jewels or other ornament fo*'
ladies and whose avocation is match-
making. Why do I say this, i- the
worst means cf match-making? Be
ruse they almost always come to one
family—usually 'rich house and hav
ing of beautiful young sons unmar
ried to match by d ‘Scribing the
wonderful beauty of a lady ami the
property she has. Oftentimes people
ere fooled and engaged with the de-
scribed lady whom the fiancee is not
allowed to see If the matchmaker
succeeds in doing this, she is reward-
ed by some ten dollars, or other
terms. Many a time people have a

(Abilene Reporter.)
■ l ate- Friday the grand jury made
its filial report for the session, re-
turning an indictment against Mason
Gamble, charging him with the mur-
der of I<om G. Curry, whose body
is ulleged to be the one found in Jim
Ned creek on Wednesday, April 7th.
Gamble's bond was fixed at $10,000,
which was promptly made, and inside
of thirty minutes the defendant was
released, returning to his family at
Eagle Cove, Callahan county. He was
instructed by the court to appear be-
fore the district court of 1 a V lor
county on August 30th, 1915, unless
notified to do so sooner in case be
retting lad
ettie BuIIo

Roy Thomas was placed under
bond of $1,000 to appear here as a
witness for the state in the Gamble
case afid also' under a not I * r $1,000
bond to appear before the grand jury
of Callahan county at Baird or 'lav

It is not known-just wha’ action
will l*e taken with reference to a trial
of the Gamble ease, and nothing defi j
ii*t*- will l»- decided on foi * few days.
Catron, Ky.—In
from this place, Mrs.' Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: "I suffered lor four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up tor a Utfl#
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pain*
In my left side.
The doctor was called In, and his treat*
meat relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed to do me any good,
I had gotten so weak 1 could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle ol
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com- j
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
! tiring me, and am doing my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui. the woman’s tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of Wonderful success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what Colom&n,
it will do. Ask him. He will recom-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
