To let me come here and play,
Where the cool winds blow and skies
are blue.
If you please may I kneel and pray.
Dear Lord, I’m so thankful for this,
But I know there are others, too,
Who neyer have, breathed the fresh
sefi airr-^ *
They are huntgry, sick and blue.
And never a glimpse of pleasure they
get,
Just toiling, hopeless and sad,
Where the streets are narrow and
sweltering hot—
Dear Father, they’re not so bad.
It’s harder, you see, to be real good
In a place where comforts are few.
Won’t you see about It right away,
’ God
And give them ah outing, too.
And won’t you build' more nice places,
Lord,
over the land, everywhere,
sick and weary at heart
some sunlight and cheer.

If my prayer's too long forgive me,
please,
But there’s many a pinched, pale

That would grow round and rosy if
they ' ‘ ^
Could dwell in a comfortable place.

And there’s so. much fresh air and

While they’re dying; O, God, it’s a

I’m asking all this for mercy’s sake,
In Jesus’ dear name, a-men.

CATTLEMEN SWING
FOR AMENDMENT
BIGGEST AGRICULTURAL LEAD*
ERS IN TEXAS ANNOUNCE FOR
BETTER EDUCATION.
ALL MEASURES ARE GOOD
Amendment to Sections 49 and 52 of
Article 3 Will Help Put Texaa
on Map of Progress.
Fort Worth, Texas.—In a communi-
cation to the state at large the exec-
utive committee of the Cattle Raisers*
Association of Texas swings its in-
fluence for the educational and good
roads bond amendment, to the const!
tution. The statement ~of the commit-
tee is signed by every officer and prac-
tically every executive committeeman
and follows:
**To the Cattle Raisers of Texas and to
all Other Citizens:
“The officers and members of the
executive committee of the Cattle
Raisers’ Association at Texas, whose
names are undersigned, urge every
voter to support at the polls the amend-
ment to the state constitution, sections
49 and 52 of article 3.
'‘This amendment will allow the
legislature to enact a law permitting
the University of Texas and the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College to
erect bufldings much needed at this
time. Without this amendment, it will
be impossible legally to meet this
Tfrgent necessity. These bonds will
be refunded from the income of the
University*§ endowment and will not
ooet the people a cent.
’The amendment further authorises
the legislature to issue bonds for the
other state educational, charitable, aad
penal institutions. These institutions,
like the university and the A. A M.
college, have not sufficient buildings
to house inmates safely.
“This amendment also gives power
to any ’political subdivision’ of the
state to issue bonds, upon a majority
vote of the tax payers of the district,
for the improvement of navigation, the
prevention of overflow, the construc-
tion of irrigation enterprises, the build-
ing of good roads, and the construction
and maintenance of public warehouses.
“In our opinion, all of these meas-
ures are good ones and will benefit the
people of the state.
“This amendment will be voted on
at the polls in a special election called
for July 19. We urge your vote in its
favor.”

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.
There was a negro preacher in
Atchison county, Kansas, who was
a big rawboned fellow, standing six
feet four and having all the muscle
his stature implied. This minister
had a congregation in which there
were some young bucks who made it
a practice to break up his service. He
stood it for some time, and then one
bright Sunday he walked down the
aisle and lit into the disturbers. There
followed a fight that furnished great
entertainment for the congregation,
and when it was over the disturbers
found the minister could fight even
more powerfully than he could pray.
Next Sunday he preached on the
subject of Trials and Tribulations.
“Brethren and sisters,” he said, “we
all has our trials and tribulations.
Las’ Sunday they was right smart
trials and tribulations right here in
this house of the Lord. Your lovin’
pastor had a few trials and tribula-
tions hlsself. You may note that Dea-
con Lemuel over there hit me on the
head and knocked off a small chunk
of epidermis, but you kin also note
that the deacon has one eye closed at
this moment of preachin’, and he is
otherwise considerably disfigured,
bless the Lord, which shows the dea-
con ' also had a considerable lot of
tribulation hlsself. Brother Jones
also forgot the respec’ due to the shep-
herd of thlB yere flock, an’ he is car-
SPEECHLESS AFTER RECOVERY.
J. E. Hudgins, a prominent farmer
between High and Petty, who had a
shooting affray with Henry Holleck,
a Bohemian neighbor about two
months ago over a disputed boundary
line in which he was seriously wound-
ed and spent several weeks in the hos-
pital here, has recovered from the
wound but is being treated for an
after effect of it. He was shot in the
neck and it was thought that he would
probably die at first.
He has entirely recovered, however,
and appears to be in better health and
stouter than ever, but while the
wound in the neck has entirely healed
and although there is no soreness
whatever in it, it has left him almost
speechless. He has never been able
to speak above a whisper since he
was shot. He has been making trips
to Paris two or three times a week
for seteral days to be treated by
specialist.
The doctor'thinks that he will be
able to restore Mr. Hudgin’s power
of speech, and although he has not
yet shown any sign of improvement or
progress toward being able to speak,
he thinks that it will not be a very
great while before he will he able to
speak above a whisper and in his nat-
ural voice.—Paris News.
