to the farmer buying from the

our farmers have such stuff they

Following upon the heels of the
a inouncement that he would be
a candidate next year for con-
gress from this district, comes
the news- that Hon. Horace
Vaughan,of Texarkana, has ac-
cepted an important position in
the legal department of the gov-
ernment at Honolulu, H. I. The
place pays about $9,000 per year.
Luther Burbank, the great
plant specialist, is of the opinion
that environment and education
alone will not make appreciable
progress in the improvement of
the. human race. He says that
only by selection and mating of
the best of specimens ot man
and womanhood can great im
provement be made, and we are
inclined to agree with him.
Miss Annie Barham is visiting
in Milton.
Miss Emma and Eunice Ken-

Milton was visited with a nice
shower Tuesday morning.

Through the courtesy of Sam
Fryar of the Clarksville Times,
we have received a copy of the
catalogue, premium list and rac
ing program of the Red River
County Fair, which will be held
at Clarksville October 12,to 15
inclusive. This will be the third
annual exhibition and is sure to
be a big success. We are going
to attend if Sam will buy us a
glass of apple (?) cider.
Before the European war op
ened, nearly all the dyes used in
this country were manufabted
in Germany, and now that this
country’s supply has been cut
off, American manufacturers are
in search of materials out of
which to make the colors. Hear-
ing of the bois d’arc apple an
Eastern concern has, according
to the Honpy Grove Signal, ask-
ed that a shipment be sent them
for experimental purposes.
Should the bols d’arc apple
prove valuable as a producer of
dye stuff it means inclined
wealth for the Southland.

Edward Caldwell was graduate, at

young glrle docked to Annapolis, uuil
i there was ji love affair between the
j young midshipman and one of them.
Ethel Mansdeld was barely elgbtdto-
; and at that age few girls ure worldly

j any man or woman In love can possess
j wisdom. Her father was well to do.
j and money was no object to her. To
1 tell the truth, abe had no Idea of Its
I value. What she wanted wua the mid-
shipman
Caldwell confessed bia Infatuation to
one of the professors of the academy
{ who had taken an Interest In him. uud
the latter aahl to him:
“If yon Intend to muke the navy

late for you to adopt another profes-
sion. If you give up your commission
you will likely slnl£ into |>overty un-

case you will occupy a position that

But Caldwell was In love, and love

the first child came the separation
from his wife and the little stranger
was not to be endured, und he resigned
from the navy.

The day after his departure his wife
received a uote from him saying that

Mrs. Caldwell was tempted to wrfth

to her and their child she would place

possession deterred her. She could not

the letter, and in time be drifted from
her whereabouts and be ome an un-

mistake. Caldwell was possessed of

Whether this husband und wife kepi

In half she found that she should have,; („ n,e Hfteriioon
reinvested certain of her holdings
Then for the first time she discovered
that business affairs troubled her. She
needed some one to confide In. some
one to consult. But no one seemed In-
clined to take the responsibility of hd
vising her, much less to act for her.
She finally agreed to give a relative of
hers a salary for managing her of-
fairs. The result was that the lutlnnre
of her property passed Into Ills poa
session.
One day Edward Caldwell received
a note from the president ofThe trust

well was managing asking If lie could

Caldwell replied that he needed One to

on the threshold. Caldwell was tlgur

> The Gregory ftyullv shut up their
city reeldence July 1. Mr. Gregory
went to Europe ou business, while Mrs.
Gregory and the children departed for
their summer place In New Hampshire.
On 8ept 2 Mrs. Gregory received
letter from her huabaud from London
tnformlng her that he would arrive In
Now Vork on the 25th of August. He
would open the city residence and keep
bachelor's hall there till the return of
the family, wbifb was set for Tuesday
after Labor day.
Mr. Gregory arrived on the day
named and, having made himself com-
fortable at home, dined and proceeded
to amuse himself In his library, bat
loneliness drove him out, and he did
not return till 11 o'clock. There was a
vestibule entrance to bis house, the
outer door of which wua not locked
and, turning the knob, be pushed open
the door. In the Inner door were glass
panels, through which a light In the
hall shone dimly und revealed a man's
figure crouching In a corner of the
vestibule. Mr. Gregory was a power-
ful man, and a stranger to fear. Tak-
ing tbe man by the collar, he shoved
blm through the inner door, which he
hud already opened, Into the hall and
shaking him ns a cat would shake
mouse, cried In stentorian tones:
“You contemptible sneak thief! Whai
are you doing here?"
The mnn. who was young and well
dressed, 'made no reiHy. He seemed to
be undecided us to what excuse to
make. There was a pitiable look on
his face that excited Mr. Gregory's
commiseration.
“You’re altogether too decent a look-
ing man." said tbe lutter, “to be muk-
ing a living In tbis way. Hure you.
ever done uny thieving before?"
"No, air," said the inun dejectedly.
"Well, In that case I’ll let you go.
If I turn you In you'll go up for
term of years. I'll give you a chance.
Go to work. Now get out of here."
The next morning as be was going
out to his club for break fust he met
the postman at (he door, who hnnded
hliu a letter from his daughter Adele
postmarked New Hampshire:
Dearest Papa—I trust that you have
safely arrived. When you read this yoo
will doubtless have learned of ths Impor-
tant eVent that has occurred In my life
I v -ih you would write me just as you
feel. Don’t conceal a single thing. You
know that your approval $>f everything
I have ever done has been necessary to
my happiness. In this, the most Impor-
tant of all, I beg of you to write me
frankly and freely.
As soon as Mr. Gregory found leisure
to do so lie wrote his daughter lacon
lcnlly:
Arrived on time. Yours received. Don’t
understand Your loving FATHER.
By return mull came a letter which
wan ns laconic as his own:
Never mind AH a mistake. ADELE.
“What the dickens Is the matter
with the child?'' muttered Mr. Gregory
to himself. “One day it Is the most
Important event of her life, the next
all u mistake.”
However, he was familiar with these
“great events’* In the lives of his chil-
dren and had become accustomed to
consider them of little real moment
So absorbed was be dttrlug the day that
lie forgot all about this family matter
gram from his wife which upset him
completely:
Come at once. Adele line had a severe
ehock.
Sir. Gregory took the first through
train to Ills summer homo nnd on his
arrival met his wlfet at the door, who
told him that durlng'his absence A dele
had met nnd fallen desperately In love
with a young matt, who bad responded.
He was Intellectually rather than phys
Ically vigorous nnd desperately sensi-
tive. . He had returned to the city, and
Adele had received a letter from blm
brenklng the engagement without giv-
ing uny reason. In consequence tbe
poor girl was prostrated.
Mr. Gregory was furious. After com-
miserating with his daughter and get
ting from bis wife the name and ad
dress of the mnn who had jilted Adele
be returned to tbe city. On tbe morn
Ing after his arrival the culprit was
sitting at n 10 o'clock breakfast, which
be was not eatiug. by tbe by. when tbe
doorbell rang, and Mr. Gregory pushed
past the maid wbo admitted him Into
tbe dining room. On the threshold he
stood stock still. The culprit crouched
behind tbe breakfast table.
“It seems to me I have seen you be-
fore.” said the astonished Gregory.
- Tbe man stnred at him, trembling.
“What In thunder does this ell
mean?" cried Gregory.
Then the situation dawned upon him.
His daughter's suitor had called on
him doubtless to ask for her hand, got
wedged In the vestibule and been mis-
“And you have had the nerve to be j tflken for , )Mieak lh,*r

“I was wrong. I should have turn-

Caldwell pondered for a moment be-
All a mistake. We will be with you to-

When the train arrived tbe next day
It brought Adele’s father and her rec-
reant suitor. Then It was explained
how he had been ejected from the

P. K. Wallace has furnished
us some interesting figures con
cerning last year’s cotton crop.
In the United States there were
raised 19,134,930 500 pound bales
or 1,978,444 more bales than In
1913. In Lamar County there
were ginned 59,762 bales or 15,-
741 bales less than in 1913. In
Red Hiyer County there were
ginned 40,466 bales or 4,463 bales
less than in 1913. Lamar Coun-
ty has sixty-one gins and one of
them stood idle last year. Red
River County has forty-five gins
and two of them stood idle last
year.
It is a well known fact that R.
D. Sanders big jewely and opti-
cal establishment at Paris, fur-
nishes more real advantages to
those haying weak eyes and de
fective vision requiring the use
of glasses, than any other place
in North EasJ, Texas. He has
gone further into the science of
optics than any one else, has
spent a life time experimenting
and fitting eyes of every known
defect, and has restored to . nor-
mal viaiou more defective eyes
with glasses than any other op-
tician you could find. If your
eyes need glasses your time
would be well spent In making
a special trip to Paris to have
Mr. Sanders give them an exact
fitting.—adv.
