B. F. Connell for Sheriff
The second man to throw his bat
in Hie political ring for high office
of sheriff for Deaf Smith county is
that of "Little" Ed Connell. Every
body in all tbe Panhandle and al-
most all Texas knows Ed Connell
as tbe biggest sheriff that ever
"toted a gun." He was sheriff oi
this county away back twenty years
ago, and he again filled the office
from 1906 for two terms. It was
during bis last term that he von the
reputation of being the first sheriff
to use an automobile in running
down breakers of the law. The
Kansas City papers gave him a big
write-up along with a picture of his j
bigness and his auto. This gave,
all the ct.er sheriffs the'
cue and autos became as popular as i
six-shooters with ail kinds of iher-.
iffs. Mr. Connell has all the quali-'
fications for the office, and, as one
good woman remarked when it was
learned that he w>uld be a candi-
date—"be looks every bit like ne."
He is really an old timer on the
Plains, and no introduction is need
ed. He wants the office, we sup
pose, because there's something
good in it and he certainly has the i
capacity to enjoy all tbe emoluments ,
therein and thereunto. His namej
will be on the Democratic primary j
ticket, and he wants all of his old,
as well as all of bis new friends to
vote for E. F. Connell. If elected
he will attend to tbe duties of tbe
office witb care, and will extend no
favors on account of "race color, or
previous condition of servitude."

Charlie Raycroft came down the
steps of the clubhouse and unrolled
his umbrella, a
light shower waa
slanting down on
the hurrying
crowds who bud
been caught b)
t h e capricious
April weather,
"By ]ove, there's
Peggy'* he ex-
claimed. as a blue
umbrella bobtx-d
past him. "I'd
know that umbrella anywhere by the
white apo on It where I dropped ttie
acid that jay Well, little stater, I'll
catch up with you and we'll have
lunch tog.-.<her!"
Hut "lf tle sister" managed to keep
half a bluck ahead of her big brother.
"f'egg^ Hay croft. If ever I catch up
with yoii I'll bring you down to a sa e
walk," 1 e panted as he hastened in h^r
wake Til have to call a tax* if I
don't gain on her "
At Kst. in tbe shadow o^, a tfc.II
building, the blue umbrella atopix-d
suddenly Charlie leaped forwa."*? and
clutched one of ibe points thereof
"Heggy—Peggy'" he gasped.
"How dare you?" ranfted a shrill
voice, and the blue umbrella was lifter,
to show the grim jawed countenance
of a most unprepossessing female ot
uncertain years
"I beg your pardon!" cried Charlie,
In confusion.
Hut the lady was obdurate. With a
crook of her finger she had summoned
a blue-coated officer and requested
that Charlie be arrested.
"He has followed me for blocks,"
she asserted, angrily. "He is trying
to flirt with me."
The officers looked from Raycroft's
fresh, good-looking countenance to the
haggard one of the offended lady, lie
caat a sympathetic look at Charlie.
Charlie tried to explain.
"I thought it was my sister's um-
brella." be said with what composure
he could muster in tbe face of the em-
barrassing situation. "And 1 followed
It—the lady can testify that I ad-
dressed her as 'Peggy.' That is my
sister's name "
"It happens to be my own name,"
said the lady, frostily. "Officer, do
your duty!"
"You wanter enter a complaint
against him?"
"Yes! Such as he should be driver
from the streets A respectible wom-
an is not safe from their odious atten-
tions."
At that moment another was added
to the little group. The newcomer
wan an exceedingly pretty girl.
I beg your pardon." she said to no
one In particular, but I happened to
witness the incident—and I'm <iuit
sure that the man meant no harm He
appeared so surprised when he found
that the lady under the umbrella waa
a stranger and—"
"How Impertinent!" Interrupted the
scandalized I'eg try
"I don't mean to be," went on the
girl quickly: "but you see. I, too,
thought 1 recognized the umbrella as
that belonging to my friend. I'eggy
Raycroft. and I was about to cell out
to her when—when this happened'"
"Peggy Raycroft?" repeated Peggy
of the umbrella. "This umbrella was
given to me by Margaret Raycroft—I
used to be her governess—and— '
"Then you have heard of me!" ti*
terrupted Charlie In his turn as be
gave her his card. "I -emember Peg
had several governesses while I was
abroad: perhaps you are Miss Free-
man—she was devoted to her.'
"I am Margaret Freeman.' ad-
mitted the lady, with a melting .mil*
at the brother of her old pupil ' Of-
fleer, I believe we can get along with-
out your services today!"
"If you will forgive me. M^se Fre
man. you can i>e t show it by having
lunch with me." cried Charll* gayly.
Charlie replaced his hat and. open-
ing his umbrella, he accompanied Miss
Freeman to a nearby fashlou.tble hotel,
where that victim of genteel poverty
had a long-to-be-retnen-bered hour of
delight.

the fire was checked before it reach-
ed there. Many box cars were near
the depot ht the time of the outbreak
of tbe fire,but engines removed these
to a place of safety.-Amarillo News.
