Full Explanation of the Situation
Was Made to a Demo
crat Reporter.
W M Abernathy, who is always
in a good humor and happy, ran
across a Democrat reporter this
week and in the course of con-
versation said:
•♦I've had four sweet, winsome
lassies from Dallas visiting me—
Miss May Shelmire, Olive bbcl-
inire, Helen Jones and Kate
Fields. They've been so bright,
joyous and pleasant that 1 fell
young again, and I said to my
wife, '1 believe I'll give the girls
a party. The boys have been over
calling, dauciug and singing ev-
er) night until twelve, and they
have been sending boxes of candy
with hearts on the top and all
that but 1 want a party.' My
wife demurred, just to get mo to
take hold; said it was too much
trouble. And 1. on the principle,
that 'fools rush in where angels
fear to tread,' volunteered to
look after things and I was forth-
with unanimously nominated
chairman of the committee 011
arrangements. 1 went *0 work,
went to Win Allen's, told hi 111 I
wanted a pig roasted and not to
forget the apple iu its mouth,
three turkeys, three hams, and a
dozen chickens. I went to Bob
Chambers and told him I wanted
light bread, salt rising. 1 noticed
Bob's eyes sorter bulge, but Bob
always promises what you want
and gives the best he's got. 1 had
more trouble to tiud the essence
of lemon, but I tiually found it.
I bunted up some love apples.
1 wonder it bojs now know what
they are. They conic from and
are types of Chivalry. Am: last
1 got some almonds and went
home to report progress. It's
easy to give a party if you only
take hold. So I carried my list
home and showed it.. The pig
and apple went at once. Tiiey
run the pencil through the tur-
keys, scratched off the hams and
knocked out the chickens, and
coolly informed me wo don't have
lemonade, we have receptions anil
serve cream and sherbet, ami then
thev took up the pencil to make
a da.->h at the almonds. I enquired
*Iiow ur«' the boys and girls going
to stand it all night without
something to eat?' 'They don't
do thai now; they play llotne
Sweet Home at twelve and you
art expected to leave,' and an-
othci one of my old fashioned
ideas went. No more do the
boys sing ' We'll dance till broad
daylight and go home with tho
girls in the morning.' But, as 1
started to tell you, they mado a
lash at the almonds. 'Hold on,'
1 said, *how are the boys and girls
going 10 eat Philopoena's without
almonds and how are they to
spark the girls if they don't oat
Philopoenas. You haven't tor-
got how we used to eat them have
rou? And the woman I've cared
for and loved for more than thir-
ty year* sorter looked around and
I could ee a twinkle in the eye
as she thought of the time a gen-
eration ago when she was the
wildest and hardest girl in all the
country *ide to catch. I wonder
;oo, if 1 he buvs now know what a
:*hilopoena is? But my almonds
Ji ent. I didn't say anything about
miy negro fiddler, but I resigned
I ff .v position as chairman of the
I k'Htnmittee on arrangements. But
lyou come, the soiree or social
tunction or whatever you call it,
sroo*. I don't know what we are
<oing to have but there will be
>ne real thing there and that will
>e the . girls. The Lord makes
hem jurt as sweet, lovable and
o be loved ns he did in times
one by, because he can't make
hem any better."

Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, our Heavenly Father
who never makes a mistake, but
hath a purpose in giving hi.s be-
loved rest: hath taken his laborer
out of his vineyard and called
her up higher to be near Him.
We bow iu humble submission to
His holy will.
Therefore be it resolved:
First, that in the death of our
sister, Mrs Kate Sullivan, the Me
Kinney Auxiliary of the Foreign
Missionary Society has lost a
charter member, life member and
au earnest, faithful worker. She
was president at one time; she
was agent for Woman's Foreign
Missionary Advocate for years:
and had been a subscriber since
it's first issue.
We feel our great loss, but will
revere her memory and try to im-
itate her consecrated life, her
patience in suffering and her faith
fulness iu every duty.
2. Our heart's deepest fyni-
pathv goes out to her children
and grandchildren, prayiug for
them an abundant portion of sus-
taining grace in this hour of sor-
row and bereavement.
3. That a copy of these reso-
lutions bo spread upon the min-
utes of our auxiliary, published in
the Daily Courier, Texas Chris-
tian Advocate, Missioaary News
and a copy be sent the sorrowing

STOnACh DOSING WILL NOT
CURE.
Only One Way to Cure Catarrh is
Bv Breathing liyomei.
Ask anv physician if catarrh is
a blood disease and he will ti>)|
you (hat it is a diseased condition
of the mucuous membrane and
that it cannot be cured by blood
purifier", pills, tablets or other
forms of stomach dosing. The
onlv sensible and scientific way
of curing catarrh is by the use of
Hyomei.
Breathed for a few minutes
four or five times a day, through
a bind rubber inhaler that is so
snrill that it can bo carried in the
vest pocket, Hyomei will abso-
lutely cure all catarrhal germs.
Smith Bros <Sc Co, one of the
most reliable firms in McKinney
are giving their personal guaran-
tee with every package of Hyo-
mei they soil; that it will effect a
cure or they will return the mon-
ey. They have had scores of re-
ports of remarkable cures of both
acute and chronic cases of catarrh
by Hyomei.
The completo Hyomei outfit
costs *1 .00 ami comprises an in-
haler, a bottle of Hyomei and a
dropper. The inhaler will last a
lifetime; and additional bottles of
Hyomei can be obtaiued for 50c.
