During the two days of last week when our factory samples were on display more than two hundred people visited our store
and half that number gave orders for spring suits to be delivered at different times between now and Easter Sunday. We offered
special inducements and the average man in Bcownwood is not slow in taking up bargians. We have retained a large number
of the factory samples and will be pleased to shciw our friends the newest styles in fabric and fashion in spring clothing. Come
to our store for up-to-date gents furnishings. If you buy it here you have the satisfaction of knowing that it is correct in style.

IN CHICAGO.
The Methodist Ministers' Associa-
tion of Chicago is a body almost as
large as an annual conference. It is
a fine looking body of men. There are
some eminent scholars educators re-
formers and preachers among them.
I noticed several "colored clergymen"
in the audience. I addressed this body
last Monday and we had a camp-
meeting time. Mr. Patterson of New
York the president of the National
Methodist Brotherhood made an ad-
dress. When dinner time comes or
"lunch time" they call it here when
this time comes in The Loop in Chi-
cago there is a rush for the cafe's. I
was in the midst of my speech when
that time came and proposed to close
but amid cheering and clapping of
hands they shouted "never mind the
'clock you go on!" and I went on. I
told them that right here in the boil-
ing seething heart of Chicago under
the shadow of the universities that
are Infected with the destructive criti-
cism of the Bible and within a stone's
throw of the court for the propaganda
of rationalism I wanted to bring them
a fresh message of the faith of our
fathers the everlasting veracity of
the Gospel. It stirred them mightily.
Paul turned Ephesus upside down with
the story of the cross; and big as It is
and bad as it is Chicago is to be sav-
ed in the same way. So is Brown-
wood. I think what we need most of
all is more preaching on fundamental
truth. Our preaching is too superfi-
cial too much speculation about the-
ories. What the world needs is a con-
science. And the moral sense in man
responds to the old eternal truth of
the Gospel. Testerday m the morning
I addressed a thousand high school pu-
pils at Freeport Illinois. It was a
splendid looking body of young Ameri-
cans and they gave me a rousing re-
ceptlon. I got hold of them from the
start and we had a big time. I prom-
ised to return and give them a lec-
ture on "Greenhorns" so I could talk
about something they would under

Last night I addross.-d "Gen. Grant
Post Grand Army of the Republic"
in the Wabash Avenue Methodist
Church Chicago. There was a great
crowd of Yankees a band banners
flags and all the paraphernalia of the
camp. On one side of the platform
there was a large picture of Lincoln
on the other one of Grant both draped
with the national colors. Before me
sat hundreds of old soldiers. They are
wearing the gray now on their heads
which is the seat of wisdom! Just
before the address the Post sang the
stirring hymn ' Illinois." I never
heard it before but my what a heroic
note it strikes! It stirred ma to my
Inmost soul to hear those grizzled old-
veterans roll out those solemn tones.
They gave me an uproarous welcome
when I rose to speak.. I told them I
had probably met some of them before
when I didn't make quite as brave a
front as I was showing then. They
caught on at once and laughed and
cheered for two hours as I told them
the story of the war from my stand-
point. I told them that one of my
highest honors for such I counted It
was that for two years I had been
chaplain of the Stonewall Jackson
Camp of Confederate Veterans at
Brownwood Texas and you should
have heard them cheer when I told
them that during the whole time I
was a member of that camp I never
heard a word of unkindness toward
the North or of disloyalty to the flag;
and that if that post would visit
Brownwood the old Johnnies down
there would make them have the time
of their lives. Texas has 'possums
as well as Georgia and Taft can't eat
them all. When I said: "You never
did whip us we just wore ourselves
out whipping you!" they burst into
laughter that made the rafters shake.
There had appeared in' the morning
papers a report of a discussion of the
propriety of singing Dixie on Lincoln's
Centennial. It seems some 'spunky
little Southern school teacher with
perhaps more fire than necessary to
keep things comfortable had announc-
ed that she intended to have it sung.
The authorities were opposed to It

She said she would sing it anyhow
a very foolish thing by the way. In
Its way a repetition of the folly of the
South in secession. There is ho doubt
that we had the right to secede; but
the folly of 5000000 Americana at-
tempting to fight 22000000 plus all
creation is clear enough now. We
were not as sensible as the Irishman.
A big brawny son of Grin Insulted an
Irishman much smaller than himself.
Pat contrary to the well-known fight-
ing proclivities of Irish blood took the
affront "Are you going to take that
off of Mike Pat?" asked a by-stander.
"People will say you are a coward."
"Faith" replied Pat "and I would
rather they would be saying that about
me than the day after to be saying
how natural Pat looks" Pat had no
desire to be a corpse. We may admire
the little teacher's spunk but not her
judgment The incident gave me a
good text however and I got .an en-
thusiastic cheer from that poat when I
said the day for that narrowness had
gone before. I told them an incident
of Lincoln's life. After his return to
Washington from -Richmond a few
days before his assassination he was
received at the White House with great
demonstrations. Patriotic songs were
played and some one called for Dixie
Texas.

"Yps" said Mr. Lincoln "we captured
Dixie too. Give us Dixie!" When I
closed my address there was a rush
to the platform to shake hands while
the band broke loose on Dixie and wo
had a scene!
I find a great deal of interest up
here in Texas especially the Pan
handle and Southwest Texas. The
railroads are booming those sections.
I brag on Brownwood. Nine out of
ten of them get it mixed with Browns-
ville. One of these energetic Illinois
or Iowa farmers is worth more to
Texas than a car-load of foreigners.
They are true Americans and a little
experience there makes them mighty
good Southerners. Now and then I
run up on one who has been down
there and it is evident that his views
of many things have undergone a

A FAMOUS BEAUTY SPECIALIST
Gkes Adrlcc to Women Lacking la
Energy and Vitality.
Thousands of women arc using toi-
let preparations unsuccessfully.
Cosmetics fall to Improve their
thick muddy complexions or to ban-
ish the pimples blackheads and
crow's-feet
No wonder. Their trouble lies far
deeper than the skin. They have bad
blood and bad blood In 90 per cent of
the cases arises from Inflammation of
the mucous membrane. Their blood
is filled with poison which is certain
to break out in unsightly humors and
blotches while pale drawn faces
deep circled eyes stooping shoulders
and weak backs complete the story of
suffering and despair.
Inflammation of the mucous mem-
brane is catarrh. Banish catarrh and
complexions will clear as if by magic
pain vanish eyes will brighten faces
become plump and shoulders erect
Perfect beauty goes only with perfect
health and perfect health for women
can only be obtained through Rexall

manent cure for catarrh x

City the most famous beauty special-
ist In the world and an accepted au-
thority on all relating thereto has this
to say of Muco-Toae:
"I can strongly endorse the claims
made for Rexall Muco-Tone as a cure
for systemic catarrh Its tonic effects
are remarkable. It builds up the
strength and restores vitality. If
women who are tired and run down
lacking in energy and vitality will use
Muco-Tone they will praise It as I do
for its strengthening and healing qual-
ities." Rexall Muco-Tone works through
the blood and acting directly upon the
muco-cells the congestion and in-
flamatlon of which are the sole cause
of catarrh causes them to expel the
poison and to resume their natural
functions. Thus the membranes are
cleansed the blood purified and re-
vitalized. We know that Rexall Muco-Tone
will cure every form of catarrh m
natter where located of how long
standing or by what other name It Is
known. We guarantee to refund yonr
money if you are not satisfied with the
vigorous health and clear complexion
it brings you.

CHEATING AT SCHOOL.
4 it 1 . 1 . .
against the use of tablets in school on
the argument that they tend to con-
tinual cheating in study and In thwart-
ing the purposes of examinations.
Therefore this school board calls for
the old-time slate to be restored to its
former place in the schoolroom.
That cheating Is possible when les-
sons are prepared In -writing there Is
no question. The paper of one stud-
ious pupil serves as a model for the
papers of half a doaen less hard work-
ing ones. The studious one is never
a prime favorite among his school
fellows and fear of the condemnation
of being a prig or a prude causes the
one who has prepared the lesson care-
fully to permit the others In the class
to copy It And those who copy are
those who file away these copies for
use at examination time. Another
method of cheating Is the exchange of
work. B prepares the rhetoric lesson J
and A does the algebra and they ex-
change papers. Two lessons are done
with the work of one and each stu-
dent thinks himself clever In fooling
the Instructor.
But It is a condition that the elimi-
nation of the tablet wouldn't correct
if Indeed it be possible under the
present method of Instruction to dis-
pense with tablets. As a matter of
fact the real fault Is not with the sys-
tem of instruction but with the pupils
and their attitude toward school work.
Teo many of them are attending school
simply because they are put there by
their parents. They are Idling time.
They have no desire to learn and no
conception of the necessity therefor.
In every school In the country there
are pupils passed on from grade to
grade and finally graduated whom the
teachers know have not even a smat-
tering of the requirements for gradu-
ation. But some disposition must be
made of these and to finally eliminate
them from school by the usual method
is apparently the only thing possible.
And the teachers are not to blame.
The pupil Is at fault but back of that
Is the lack of discipline in the home.
American children are not disciplined
and they are not Impressed with the
Importance of acquiring an education.
Correcting the matter Is undoubtedly
a difficult problem but If It Is ever
corrected It will have to be done in
the home. Fort Worth Record.
