CONTEMPLATION
"I have heard that you con-
template retiring to private
life."
"I do," answered Senator
mm
Sorghum ; "the same as I con-
template going to heaven. It's
a sweet and blissful prospect,
hut somehow you don't fe«l in
any particular hurry about it."
—Washington Star.
Mrs. Sarah Hodges of Dal- . .... , .
las, is visiting Mrs. Wes for the beginning of the terms
— of president and members of
congress early in January
rather than on the 4th of
March would be a complete
remedy."
Senator Borah says
"I have- never known a good
measure. Jkilled by a fi'ibuster
or a debate. I have Itnown of
a vast number of bad meas-
ures, unrighteous measures,
which could not have' been
killed in any other way ex:ept
through discussion and de-
bate.
"There is nothing in which
sinister and crooked interests,
seeking favorable legislation,
are more interested right now
than in cutting off' d-s.vusion
in Washington. If they can
succeed in reducing the .tui-
tion to a point where they on-
ly have to see one or two men
either to put through or kill a
measure, they are masters of
the situation."
Senator Couzens believes
the present rules are "suffic-
ient."
Senator Brookheart '.vs.
"The American people will
sustain the rule as now writ-
ten."
S. H, Whiteliurst Life Insurance Agency
Again Scores With Service
• Below is a copy of letter received from Mr. Wal-
ter H. l'etrich, of Houston, Texas, who formerly lived
on the Kaufman pike, near F.lam station:
"Since returning to Houston from Mesquite,
after the loss of my beloved wife, a few weeks
ago 1 am again reminded of the very efficient and
most satisfactory manner in which you handled
the payment of the life insurance claim under the
policy you had so kindly placed with her. It
seems to me that the record time in which this
claim was paid should be a very great factor in
placing similar policies in that territory.
I remember very distinctly that you had often
stressed the motto of SERVICE, and the prompt
manner in which the company handles its death
claims, but little did I think at that time that I
would have occasion to be the benefactor of your
splendid service. It was just iforty-seven hours
from the time of her death to the time settlement
was made.
I am very glad to say that the little baby boy
is doing nicely, and I am enclosing herewith pa-
pers on application for life insurance in your goo.l
company, in which 1 have made him the bene-
ficiary. This is the second policy I have with
your company, and I hope to be able to increase
my insurance from time to time, which needless
t i say, will be with your company.
Again thanking you, and with best wishes to
you. 1. am,
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Walter 11. Petrich."

Retired Minister Tells How He
Keeps in Good Form With
the Assistance of
Black-Draught.
West Graham, Va.—The Her.
Lewis Evans, a well-known retired
minister, now past 80, living here,
has a high opinion of Black-
Draught, which he says he has
taken when needed, for 25 years.
"For years I had been suffering
with my liver," he says. "Some
times the pain would be very in-
tense and my back would hurt all
the time. Black-Draught was the
first thing I found that would give
me any relief.
"My liver has always been slug-
gish. Sometimes it gives me a lot
of trouble. I have suffered a lot

So gave me a merry-go-rouncl

home and say, Daddy,
do you do your banking
with?" I have had the exper-
ience in our town.
In our town we have what
we call a Community rair.
nd I have tried that, and
e ven to this day I have men to
come in and tell me about
their kids, saying that I gave
them a merry-go-round ride.
and even after I have been in
San Antonio one of the cash-
iers of a big bank at Dallas
told me they thought 1 was
the' first person outside ot
their immediate family that
their little girl remembered,
and it was because I took her
in my arms and placed her on
this flying-jenny and let her
ride until she rode herself to
sleep. Boys, the kids appre-
ciate it. They are going to
make the men of tomorrow.
We don't know whether they
will make bank presidents
we don't know that they will
make presidents of the United
States, we don't know that
tl ev will make the Congress-
men that pass our law's and
try to direct the destiny of
this government and get us
out from this high taxation
and these numerous bureaus
ami their vexations, that wel
don't seem to be able to get
ourselves gut of.
It is a duty that we owe
these kids, to give1 them all
the assistance and counsel
that we possibly can. It is n
duty that we owe the com-
munities in which we live, to
try to make better men and
women out of them. Tt is a
duty we owe to our ifellowmen
it is a duty that we owe to
God. We -|0 not know what
they will make, but we do
know this—we know that the
men who h^ive got their hands
on the throttle of the wonder-
ful industries of this world to-
day were the kids of yester-
day. We also know that the
man that will have his hand
on the throttle of the world's
business to-morrow is the kid
of today. And it behooves
each and everyone of us to,try
to make this world stronger
and betUr and have better
citizens and the further and
the longer it goes.
You know that of all that
has been said of the kid, and
one of the prettiest little vers-
es I believe 1 ever read was
when the poet said:
"They are the idols of our
hearts and our house-
households,
They are angels of God
disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps
their tresses.
His glory still gleams
their eyes."
Boys, when our battle
life is finished and we go tc
cross that Great Divide and
■cash our checks in the Bank
of Life, whose Cashier is God,
how nice it would be if we
could1 look back and say, "1
have lived to bless mankind."
How nice it would be vhen
our iriends pass by and take a
last long lingering gaze at our
once happy face, and say:
"There lies a man." It is nec-
essary to make money, it is
essential to have money, and
| no man loves to make m< ney
better than I, but I think the
greatest heritage that any
man can leave is the heritage
of the friendship of his fellow-
men.
The kindness that you give
these kids .is the best adver-
tisement and the cheapest ad-
vertisement that any bank-
can produce or buy. And you
know—
"When the world looks around
to sum up the true worth
of a man,
They seldom think of the
knowledge he has of
booklf,
They seldom think of the
clothes he wears, his hab-
its, his faults or his looks;
They judge him not by

THE STATE OF TEXAS
To the Sheriff or any Con-
stable of Dallas County-
Greeting:
You are hereby command-
ed, That by making publica-
tion of this Citation in some
newspaper published in the
County of Dallas, for four
consecutive weeks, previous
to the return day hereof you
summon Homer J. Cox, whose
residence is unknown, to be
and appear before the District
Court of the 68th Judicial
District of Texas, to be hold-
en in and for the County of
Dallas at the Court H°u9e
thereof, in the City of Dallas,
at or before ten o'clock a. in.,
of the Monday next following
the expiration ofl Forty-two
davs from the date of this
citation, being Monday, at IU
blocks of stocks, or his
power of name or pen,
But they think of him more
by the place he has won in
the he.vis of his fellow-
men.
They judge him more by the
fight he has made and the
way he has faced the
strife,
And not by the amount of tht
hank account he has man-
aged to get in life.
They think of the friends he-
has been to man, and the
good that he has dor.e;
They judge the sort of a man
he is by the friends that
he has won."
I thank you.
