And, as you sit beside him
Beyond the shining stars.
Your thoughts won't be of women.
Of wine or motor ears;
For well the old boy did his part
In God's eternal plan,
And you will tip your hat to him.
Because he was a man.
Just what the first man looked like
I don't pretend to know;
He may have walked this earth of ours
A spectacle and show;
He might have been an earth-worm,
A tadpole or a snail;
He might have been a monkey
And had a ten foot tall.

The largest diamond on record is
said to be the Culliman diamond,
named after the town near which it
was discovered in South Africa. It
weighed more than 3025 carats. It
was cut into two stones weighing 516
and 309 carats. respectively.
The city government of MHan Angelo
recently decided that there were too
many automobile accidents, undertook
to locate the cause, or at least one of
the causes. Of the 500 automobiles
examined only 31 were found to have
brakes which were working properly,
and a large number of the cars were
found with practically no brakes in so
far as 'quick stopping' was concerned.
Next week the public schools of Deu-
ton will open and there will be more
reason then for careful driving even
than during the summer months;
however, there is no reason nor cause
for reckless driving at any time. Last
week no fines were assessed for speed-
ing in Denton, which was the cause
of much happiness for Mayor MeKen-
; zie. He said "Mondays are usually
I 'blue days' for me, as that is when
‘ the cases are brought before the city
' court, and I dislike very much the
fining of people. I hope some day
I that every citizen will observe traffic
i ordinances.”—Denton Record-Chron-
icle.

According to a statement of Holley
Renshaw, supervisor of road mainten- |
a nee in Wise county for the state |
highway commission, the old county j
is the stamping ground of a sure
enough "bad man": so bad and mean,
no doubt, he is afraid to associate
with anyone, fearing he will do them
serious bodily harm. Other counties
in the state have their "bad men,” but
it remained for Wise county to pro- •
duce the hadest f the bad in the fel-
low who sneaks along the highways’
and destroys the markers. Wiseis "bad
man" recently operated along the high- :
way letween Bridgeport and Chico. ,
and when he had finished his night *
work, fiftcen sign posts and marker-
hail been torn from their fastenings. ।
Indicaticns are that the county’s pro-1
mier "bad man" was horse-back when |
he turned his brave deeds, and witn ,
his lasso, he performed the spectacular
stunt of roping the posts—and a lunge I
of his trusty steed—the work was !
done. Aside from being a “bad man,"
the fellow is to be charged with being
