A short time ago V. C. Oliver
wrote Bob Harmon of Chicago,
and informed him that on his
place In North Deport which is
unoccupied, a cellar had caved in
and filled with water and was
giving off a foul odor. In reply,
Mr. Harmon instructed him to
have the condition remedied,
keep the weeds and grass cut
and mail him the bill. If a non-
resident has that much public
spirit and pride in his property,
what should we who make De-
port our home, whose health and
in a measure, prosperity,depend
tm the sanitary condition of our
home town, do about the condi-
tion of our premises?
Birthday Dinner
Tuesday the daughters of J. T.
Woodard gathered at his home
to surprise him with a dinner,
the occasion being in honor of
his seventy-first birthday.
They luckily found him at home
as he had almost decided to go
fishing that day. Needless to
say it was a very happy surprise
to him, and only the children and
their families being present, was
a pleasant home gathering.
Not only was the day Mr. Wood
ard’s birthday but, also, that of
two grandchildren, Miss Bertha
Norrell being seventeen and
Woody Read, fifteen. Those
present were: Mr. and Mrs. S.
R. Jeffus, Mr, and tyjs. I. L.
Read and six children, Mrs.
Florence Norrell and two child-
ren, and Mr. and Mrs. Prella
Grant.
The absent member of the
family was Mrs. Mollie Elliott.

A man by the name of Parker,
a brother to the Parker who kill-
ed S. L. Bean near Deport some
time ago, is reported to have at-
tempted to end his life at Paris
Wednesday. He was charged with
the burglary of a store at Blos-
.som and his cake was to have
come up Wednesday. While
consulting with his lawyer, he
picked up a knife "lying on a
desk and drove it into his jug-
gler vein. At first it was
thought that he would be dead
in a short time and Judge Den-
ton announced that ail witnesses
in the case were permanently
excused, but J. W. 'Cunningham
informs us that he was still
alive when he left Paris on the
afternoon train Wednesday.
A party of eleven spent from
Monday until Wednesday on

Deport friends have been in-
formed that Miss Hess Bentley

the 21st ult., to Mr. J. Finley of
Abilene, where she has been at-
tending^ business college the
past six months. The Times
joins Miss Bentley’s host of
friends in wishing them a happy
prosperous life. The young peo-
ple will make their home in Abi-
lene.
Mrs. N. A. Kimball,'mother of
R. C. Kimball of Deport, broke
her thigh on Tuesday of last
week. She is visiting at Alpine
and was just recovering from an
illness. She was taking an auto
ride along a trail cut out around
the side of a mountain. In
changing to another gear the
engine was “killed ” and the car
began to roll backward. Fear-
ing that it would hack over the
precipice, Mrs. Kimball sprang
out with the result as stated
above. She is reported resting
well and is expected to be up
again in four to six weeks.
:: Mr. Bowser
Inquires
And Mrs. Bowser
Promptly Replies.
By M. QUAD.

Newspaper Syndicate.
A block from his bouse, ns lie went
home the other evening. Mr. Bowser
stopped ut Ills family drug store. He
had bceu feeling unusually good all
day, but nil at ouce Ids right ear begun
to twitch.
Was it the forerunner of purntysisl
Was lie going deaf?
Did St. Vitus' dunce begin this way?
He thanked heaven that he was so
close to first aid. and be entered the
store and said to the druggist ns care-
lessly ns be could:
“Doc. I have got a queer twitching of
the ear.”
“Yes?"
“Is It n warning of anything Berl-
jus?”
“It wouldn’t he in the summer, but
It may be now.”
“What do you mean?”
“Why. you wuut to oat a bull thistle
to cure that twitching, and where nro
you going to get one now?”
Mr. Itowser backed out of the store
with n very purple face, and as ho
stood on the corner for a minute be
said to himself:
“He meant thnt I was a Jackass, and
Mrs. Bowser shall pay for thisI”
Mrs. Bowser was In the trail to wet
come him, but he bung up his bat and
turned on her with:
“Woman, why don’t you gather op
all the sheets and blankets and coats
and hats In the house and hong them
on this ball tree and make a regular
May pole of it?”
There was only one extra hat on the
tree and that belonged to Mr. Bowser,
and he had bung It there, but Mrs.
Bowner was too politic to dispute him.
6bo led the way to the dining room,
and be scuffled along after her, every
footstep showing that be was out of
sorts and meant to raise a row. Be
foro sitting down to tbo table he look
ed around, and his eye happened to no
tlce a crack In the glass over one of
the pictures. With a scowl be ex
claimed:
“Been at work with the ax again,
hove you? Why didn't you smash the
whole of 'em while you were about ft?"
Mr. Bowser bad cracked the glass
himself a month before, but why any
so and hear him deny It? He fell Into
bis chair at the table with a growl, ami
os Mrs. Bowser had ptuuuvd nu extra
good dinner, sbe'bopsd the wont Itsd
passed. It hadn't even begun, bow
over.
“Wbnt have you got here—an old
toot?" be demaudvd. as he started to
carve the chicken and stopped with
kn)fe iuid fork held aloft.
“It's a youug and tender chicken—
oue of the nicest I could buy," she
humbly replied.
“Chicken, eh? W«ll. 1 never should
have believed It!”
It was a dinner lit for any man to
sit down to. but Mrs. Bowser realised
that .she would only make the matter
worao by argument and therefore held
her pence.
Mrs. Bowser bad Intended to ask him
to tako her to the theater that even-
ing, but seeing how “off" be wns. she
gave It up, nnd, on returnlug to the
sitting room sat down to a book, while
he picked up bis newspaper. Mr. Bow
S4T didn't menu to giro It up that
way, however, and after glancing over
the paper, he suddenly demanded:
"Mrs. Bowser, Is this a house or s
wlgwnm?"
"Why. what do you mean?"
“Just what I said. If It's a house
then we need a housekeeper, ir It's a
wigwam, or a bale In the ground, or an
Eskimo’s but, then you are running It
hangup. Last night Mrs. Bowser, last
night when I went to put on my
nightshirt It wns not to be found. I
presume It had gone down to the cook
to fip used oa a mop or. [>ci-haps. you
had flung It out of the window for the
children to play horse with. An Es-
kimo or a digger Indian might put up
with such things, but I can't get used
to ’em. Can you spare the time to tell
mo where that nightshirt went to?"
"It wns rolled up and placed undei
your pillow, and I found It there this
morning,” she replied,
He knew It ns well ns she did, ns be
rr !t rrhec he pot us. Tl\- f::‘

he was In a hurry to get to bed nnd
forgot to change, but he must hold
sumo one to blame, aud why not her?
"There Is another thing that 1 wish
to s|icnk of, now that I happen to
think of It Most womeu pride them
selves on the smullness and trimuoss
of their feet You seem to have no
pride In that direction. If your feet
have spluttered all over the bouse I
am not going to blutne you, but If It's
only the way you wear your shoes then
I'll lend you a pair of mine to reduce
the size.”
“You see those shoes?" sho queried
ns she pushed out her feet "Well,
they cost $2.00, nnd I hnve worn them
for bIx months. During that time you
have had three puirs of five dollar
shoes, but you can't afford better for
me. While other Indies won't look at
shoes at less than $0. 1 must look for
n price to Qt a working girl. If you
will kindly lend me u pair of your
shoes I will be ever so much obliged.”
Thnt was another ou Mr. Bowser,
and he turned red nnd white nnd wait-
ed two or three minutes before saying:
“I was looking In the directory to-
duy to see If there wns such a place
In town as a sock asylum—a sort of
home where men can go nnd get their
socks darned. I have a dozen pairs,
but all are out at the heels. Perhaps
you know of some Buch asylum?"
Mrs. Bowser made no reply; but go
Ing upstairs to his dresser, she brought
down eight pairs of socks which were
In perfect condition and laid them be-
fore him.
“Y-e-s,” said Mr. Bowser, pretend
tng not to see. “There Is another
thing I should likerto mention. I gave
you money only Inst week to buy coal,
nnd 1 want to know"—
"1 bought coal," she Interrupted,
“and It will Inst us three or four weeks
yet”
“But whnt about the gas bill, Mrs.
Bowser. Wo havo the patent tips,
wurrnntra to savo at least half the
gas, nnd yet the bill for the last mouth
was"—
“Was $2 less, Mr. Bowser. There It
Is, as you con see for yourself.”
She hnd him on that, and ho real-
ized thnt he wns getting tho worst of
It Ho therefore rose up and said:
"Mrs. Bowser, I did Intend to spend
a pleasant evening at home; but being,
as you seem, bound nnd determined to
spoil It, I will go out nnd pass throe
or four^hours nt tho club. Just go to
bod whenever you wish, nnd don't
mind me. When n husbnud has no
home, you know—wheu his wife Isn't
willing to make things pleasant for
him—when—when”—
And he put ou hia overcoat and hat
and went out and walked up nnd
down and shivered aud then loafed for
half an hour In a drug storo nnd then
talked politics with tbo butcher uutll
bis toes were frostbitten, nnd as he
dually started for home ho congratu-
lated himself that he had taught Mrx
Bowser a lesson she would not soou
forget and upheld hta authority aa lord
and master.
4ome one has started the re-
>rt that I was not standing the
hilliott horse this season. This
is a mistake, and in accordance
with the hard times, have pjpt
the price to $7.50.
