We are pleased to note that
our good town is in line with
heart and hand to try to rid
Texas of one of the greatest can-
cers in her society—the saloon.
They show by their works that
they are in the fight to stay.
They are securing the best
speakers obtainable to press the
fight- On the 15th of this month
Mr. Powell, a member of the
state-wide committee spoke to a
very 1 enthusiastic audience of
hearers?" And, although ~Mr.
Cone Johnson was expected and
would have come had not the ill-
ness of his wife at Mineral
Wells prevented. Mr. Powell
arraigned the antis in a fearful,
yet very respectable manner.
He shunned ridiculing almost
altogether, and backed every
point with logical and unques-
tionable evidence.
Do you take Drawing “Two?”
If you do g'not you auto (ought
to).
It is fine and hard to beat,
And the teacher is simply^great.
There are many things to learn
And each instruction discern
Ere we, our credit get,
For the plate over which we did
fret..,.
There are dots and dashes ga-
lore,
Straight lines, curved lines and
more
Little funny fixings on each
Study that to us he does teach.
And then when for the ink it is
ready,
If you have not a clean eye and
a hand that’s steady,
You may blot it or draw it too
far in
And then you’ll have to begin
over again.
The best thing we' can attri- j
bute to June nineteenth is that it [
rid the town for one day of ne-
groes. l They were nearly all
away holding a three days’ cele-
bration.
Our woolen and wash skirts
are up-to-date, all go at reduced
prices. Adams.
A FRIEND IN NEED
A few days after the opening
of th° Summer Normal a little
Freshman was seen under a tree
north of the main building. Her
dreamy eyes were awake for the
time and she was intently read-
ing & letter from “him.” Miss
Sayers in passing gave little girl
a pleasant nod. She called Miss
Sayers and confided in her, tell-
ing her that the poor fellow was
“down and out” on account of
her leaving him. He had writ-
ten her the following “touching
poem:”
0! be she went and am she gone
And left poor I here all alone?
Miss Ha-r-s (in mechanical
drawing) —“What is the day of
thehnonth?”
Miss C. H. (very soberly)-Yes-
terday was the nineteenth.”

There is so much evil in the

That it behooves the most of us
To say nothing of the rest of

Since her can never come back
to me,
Then us must surely go to she. ”
Of course such lines reached
Miss Sayers’ kind heart. She re-

cheered him:
“Yes, we have went so far away
And left poor he at home to stay.
True, Fate is cruel, also blind

For us am lonely here and sad,

glad.”
