A Grewsome Discovery.
Saturday morning an insistent tele-
phono call reached the sheriff depart-
ment, and the party ou the wire stat-
ed that a suspicious looking mound
had been discovered on Choctaw Creek.
Which' was thought to be a grave and
it was desired that the officers investi-
gate at once. Sheriff Tom Roberts and
his trusty deputies. Ran Rolierts and
Bud Hogan left forthwith for the
scene of the tragedy, accompanied by
the County Attorney II. H. Cumimns.
Reaching the scene in about the same
time that It takes to tell, the party of
officers found the mound and at once
began to exeavate—iuul dug up the
remains of a freshly burled canine.
The rest of the story will not do for
publication.

A Doubting Father.
George Manville Fenn was In the
Reform club one afternoon, says n
London Journal, when he noticed that
an old gentleman, a friend of his, was
looking rather perturbed, so he In-
quired If there was anything the mat
ter. “M’ell,” said the old gentleman,
“the fact is my son has got a play
coming out tonight, and I fear It will
be a ghastly failure. He can write
pretty little plays when he likes, but
this one he has written Is a nonsen-
sical sort of a thing, and I’m sure it
won’t do nt nil. However, I suppose
I must go and see It." The son s
name was MliUura S. Gilbert, and the
play was "Trial by Jury.”
Revised.
“Mamma, can me and Tommy have
some cake?” asked little Ruth.
“Not unless you ask grammatical-
ly,” replied her mother.
“M’ell, then,” said she, “may I have
a piece of cuke?”—Dallas News.

FAMILY FRIENDS.
Fin* Food For Thought In a Bequest
Made by Justica Lamar.
In the will of the late Justice I a mat
of tho United States supreme court
there was one very unusual legacy.
He bequeathed his friendships to bis
family.
“To my family,’’ the will runs, “I be-
queath friendships many aud numer-
ous in the hope that they will be cher-
ished and continued. True^friendshlps
are the most valuable bf'our earthly
possessions, more precious than gold,
more enduring than marble palaces,
more important than fame. * • •
As Henry Drummond has well said,
‘Friendship is the nearest thing we
know to what religion la!’ ’’
Tbfe family that inherits such wealth
Is truly rich. But it is a legacy that
must be used if it would be preserved.
Friendships cannot be locked awny in
safes or lent to historical exhibits and
museums. Like love and faith aud
courage, they belong to that intangible
treasure of the soul that must be kept
from destruction by constant service.
It Is not atone material things that
“rust doth corrupt”
How many of us have let slip
through busy or careless flrigers the
beautiful aud glowing friendships ot
our youth? We did not mean to do it
Indeed, we have often regretted the
loss until, as the years pass, the regret
gradually fades away. And if that i*
true of our own friends how far more
true of our fathers’ friends! Yet there
have been families where friendships)
have passed down from father to son
for several generations.
There Is food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine and
loyal and serviceable friendships that
they can with pride and gratitude be-j
queath to their sons? How mauyj
mothers are storing up like treasures
for their daughters? The question
does not end there. How many young
people of today are fitting themselves |
to receive such legacies? How many!
in all the varied and urgent calls of j
life are heeding the challenge to make
themselves worthy of friendships by
being loyal and fine tempered and gen
erous friends themselves? 1
“A man that hath friends," the* old
Book of Wisdom declares, “must show
himself friendly;” and again, “Thini
own friend and thy father's friend for-
mike not.”—Youth's Companion.
