Let me get that Easter suit under
way for you. Certainly in this good
year of prosperity and plenty, yoa
are not going to show up on Easter
morning in a hand-me-down spit.
Among all the correctly made, cor-
rectly fitted, correctly fashioned
clothes that will be worn by men of
taste and discernment on the streets
of Temple this spring, (and there are
going to be a very great many, for I
am making hundreds of spring suits
myself) a ready-made outfit will
stand out as plainly on you as if it
were labeled across the back in box-
car letters, "HAND-ME-DOWN." Do
not wear this stamp. Wear tailored
clothes. They are cheaper, much
cheaper, in the long run, and better
and more satisfactory all the time.

summer will mark a decided change
from the present system In reference
to the comfort and convenience of
jurors, attorneys and those attend-
ing the two courts in this county.

each of the courtrooms and also in
the jury rooms on the third floor.
Heretofore the court, attorneys, ju-
rors and witnesses have been com-
pelled to "sweat it out" iu these
courts. The Installing of electric
fans during the hot months In which
men are compelled to serve upon
juries will make the burden less.

COLONEL WADE DEAD.
Known in Georgia as the Man Who
. Never Seceded.
(By Associated Press)
New Orleans, Apfil 6.—Colonel
Edward Wade, a native of Georgia
and known throughout that state as
"the Wade who never seceded," died
suddenly at a local sanitarium today.
Wade was one of the wealthiest mer-
chants of Savannah when the civil
war opened and after the war closed
filed claims against the government
for several million dollars for prop-
erty alleged to have bee ndestroycd
by Sherman's army. Colonel Wade
served in the federal army.
"Britz, of Headquarters."
Prentice can not account for the
fire unless it was occasioned by the
explosion of a lamp left In the hall.
Ralph Prentice, the 17-year-old sot!
of Mr and Mrs. J. J. Prentice, was
quite painfully burned about his fa_e
and hands. He was aroused from his
room in the second story and reach-
ed the ground in safety by coming
down a gallery post, but he under-
took to enter a small room at the
back and recover his gun, and was
painfully burned. He is being at-
tended today by a physician, but it
can not be told just how serious his
burns will prove.
The house, valued at $5500 and
furniture at $2000, were burned
without saving a thing. Mr Pren-
tice threw a tray of jewelry from
the second story window In an effort
to save it, but it was left near the
burning house and was destroyed. The
fire department arriver very soon af
ter the alarm was turned in and had
a good pressure to work with, but
the flames had gained such headway
that they were powerless to extin-
guish the blaze until the house waJ
burned down.
Mr. Prentice late yesterday after-
noon decided to go with friends to
the Bayou to spend the night and
as not in town. He saw the blaze
and wondered whose home It was
that was burning, but did not know
that it was his property until he
came home this morning Ralph
Prentice Is at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Eoff and Is resting apparently
well this afternoon.

"Nature's Gift from (he Sonny South
i t »
BY JOE SAPP1NGTON.
A few years ago 1 received a letter
from my old boyhood friend Bill
Thompkins, requesting me to write
an article for the special edition of
his paper, "The West Texas Whiz-
zer," that was soon to be issued.
Just two days after its receipt 1
wrote him as follows:
Dear Bill: 1 am in receipt of your
letter In which yuu request me
yrlte an article for the special edi-
tion of the Whi/.zt*r. Owing to the
fact that I had but tv,o days in which
to prepare the article in time for your
special edition, I lost no time In be-
ginning its preparation. When I de-
sire to write a string article it is my
usual custom to devote two whole
days to deep meditation before writ-
ing it. Without meditation my mind
is Inclined to bt* erratic and is in-
is Inclined to be erratic and liable to
fly off at a tangent and go of afte.r
strange gods. So when I received
your letter I saw that I had but two
days' time in whiih to prvpare the
article, which gave me but oua day
for meditation. I saw at a glance
what I was up against, and without
saying a word to ruy wifo or her
mother, who is visiting us and has
been for the last six long, weary
months, I grabbed my hat and pipe
and went forth into the shady woods,
where no one wouM disturb me and
began my meditations.
Nine hours aftt r I began meditat-
ing 1 returned to the bosom of my
family so full of my subject that It
was oozing out of evf-ry pore iu my
hide. I slept soundly that night, not-
withstanding the fact that my wife
accused me of slipping ofT to ketjp
from assisting her with the family
washing.
The next morning, after eating a
hearty breakfast I lit my pipe and
began writing a story that had thre»
deep sighs, two heart-aches and a
sob In every line, and was going after
my subject good and strong when ny
wife * mother appeared upon the
sc*ne and informed me In a rude, ab
rupt manner that if I expected any
dinner I had better hustle some stove
ivood. So I went out to the cow shijd
and split up a trough, as wo were ost
of wood, and start - d a tire in the
stove I then returned to my story
and bad just reached a point where
I became deeply affected and was
shedding tears copiously when my
wife put in an appearance and told
me without a "quiver" In her voice
that sha was expecting company and
wanted me to run down the family
rooster that she proposed cooking f9r
said company.
Bill, you will excuse these tears,
but that derned rooster was the cause
of my not writing the article for your
special edition. When I started out
to pursua that rooster little did I wot
of his speed or his wind, or I would
have borrowed a horse and provided
myself with a shotgun and pack of
hounds to start with.
It was three hours and forty-seven
minutes from the time 1 started after
that rooster until I returned to my
loved ones and my mother-in-law 1
chased him over a large portion of my
beloved county, ran him through two
hundred barbed wire fences, live hun-
dred acres of brush, tore a pants leg
off, lost both shoes, loosened three toe
nails and tor» my coat tail into
shreds.
For the first two miles honors were
easy, but after reaching the secon»l
mile post my wind begap to play out.
but the rooster had settled down to a
2:40 gait and was looking back over
his shoulders and seemed to be say-
ing, "How are you getting along,
brother Sap°" That defiant look
maddened me and aroused within me
all the warrior blood of my ancestors,
and a voice spake to me saying, •'Re-
member you are a Sapplngton; catch
that rooser or die trying."
After passing the third mile post
the rooster changed his course from a
due south course to a westerly direc-
tion and held to that point of the
compass, with only slight variations,
for the next four miles, when he
veered to the northward. Our course
now led through a country In which
I wag wholy unacquainted, and we be-
gan to meet people who were total
strangers to me. During the pursuit
we passed three camp meetings, a
funeral procession, two plcnlc#parties
and were chased by many dogs. What
started out to be a harmless foot race
between myself and that rooster re-
solved itself into a life and death
contest. It was no longer the rooster's
flesh that I sought as food, but re-
venge that I craved. I wanted to tear
hlg feathers out by their roots as long
as there was one on his back, and
dash them in his face while he was
stll alive. While these murderous re-
flections were passing through my
mind he changed his course, and after'
running six miles further I saw his
tail drop and kn«w- that the contest
was about to ciose. Just at this time
X realized that we were approaching
our home once more, and with an ef-
fort born of desperation 1 strained
every muscle in my body to close in
on that rooster, and succeeded In
oulllng a handful of feathers out of
his tall as he went through a neigh-
bor'* fence, falling la a dead swoon
i I did so.
When I revived from my fainting
■pell I found Doc'Sellers standing

that if his rooster died from the race
I had given it that he proposed to
maul nky head off. 1 tried to explalu
to Doc that It was a case of mistaken
identity; that 1 thought 1 had been
lmrauJU^it my own rooster and humbly
begfffeii his pardon and told him not
fur the world would I have liiirmed a
feather on that rooster's back had I
known that it belonged to him.
A few minutes later 1 dragged my
bedraggled, hatless and shoeless car-
cass home, where I was met by my
wife, who Informed me that I was
seventeen kinds of aa idiot and had
disgraced the family name by chas-
ing a neighbor's roster over a large
part o fthe county.
Bill, I trust you will understand
why I failed to write you the article
for the special edition of the YVhlz-
zer. I was too tired to write for
three weeks after pursuing Doc Sel-
lers' rooster. Your friend.
