Burglary l-ast Night.
For the second time in twerity-foor
hour* burglars effected nn entrance to
a Sherman residence and succeeded in’
making quite an extensive haul. This
time tlie residence of Mr. Hnd Mrs.
Fred W. Hudson, No. 315 Went Stead-
man street, whs entered, and a num-
ber of valuables, together with a Iosif
of bread, taken. Among the thing'
missed are a Waltham watch with
gold link fob nml chain, three slick
I ins, two screw studs, ladies gold
watch and fob Htnl the loaf of bread.
The jewelry Is valued at about fSO.
No one wiis at home at the time, and
it was re)sirted to the jtollee about
10:30 o’clock. .,
No arrests have ts'cn made, hut the
jiollce are inclined to think that the
same party or parties are responsible
for the four burglaries that have been
committed in Sherman in the lmst
week.

went out. *
Tabby, the house cat, wsb too old
and rheumatic to spend the night in
the stuWe. 8o Gyp, whose mother, a
cute little terrier, was a splendid rat-
ter, was kept in the stable, so thot .hn
might see bis inothur catching rats and
learn the business early.
Gyp did his best to learn. There
wasn't a rat hole In the stable that he
didn't sniff hopefully every morning
when he got up and to which he did
not psy a good night visit before he
crawled into his sleeping box in the
corner.
But, as all good rat catchers could
have told him, there Is something more
In catching a rat than watching a hole.
One morning as he played about the
stable be noticed a big gray rat poke
Its head out of one of the holes. The
rat was looking for something to eat,
but when it saw Gyp It Jerked its head
back into the bole. Barking delighted-
ly. Gyp ■ made for the rat hole and
sniffed and whined, coaxing the rat to
come out again.
“I'm going to sit down here and wait
till I catch it,” said Gyp. He thought
that would not be very long. All morn-
ing he watched the rat hole.
“Good dog,” said the coachman
when be took the horses out In the
morning.
“Good dog,” he said again when he
came back at noon. Gyp began to
feel hungry, but he would not stir.
As It began to grow dark his mother
cable In to see where ho had been all
day. “Why didn't you come to the
.house for your Innob if” she asked.
Tiu watching for a rat," he replied.
‘Tve lieen watching ever aince It
looked out of the hole this morning."
“You silly child,” replied his mother.
■“Gome along, now, pnd havo your sup-
per. Don't you know rats have more
(ban one way to get in and out of their
holes? I (jure lay that was the very
rat I caught down In the 6table cellar
this morning."

SEW IN CHINESE STREETS.
Women Who Mend Clothee Right There
While You Wait.
In many towns of China one may
have his garments mended on tho
street and “while he waits.” Native
sewing women are to be seen on low
stools, perhaps on the sidewalks, mend-
lug articles of masculine attire.
The accomplishments of these street
seamstresses are somewhat limited,
their efforts with the needle being for
the most part confined to “running."
Other branches of needlework are prae.
tieally unknown to them. As a conse-
quence their efforts are better appre-
ciated by native workmen than by
foreign travelers.
They are never short of patrons
among the former, for these are often
natives of other districts and, having
come to the city to engage hi business,

Their wives being left at home, they
are glad to avail themselves of the
services of the street needlewoman.
For this class of customers the skill
of the itinerant sewing woman answers
every purpose.
Generally speaking, these women are
wives of boatmen and laborers who
live in the houseboats which line the
creeks of many Chinese cities and
towns, and their needles arc a great
help toward the solution of the prob-
lem of maintenance In a crowded city
or town.

C. C. Morris, farm demonstration
agent for Grayson county, outlined
briefly the farm demonstration work,
stating that tlie success of tils work
here In the county would depend upon
the extent to which tlie people made
use of him.
Tlie Celtic boys have organized a
corn flub and also a cotton club. There
is also in the;Celtic community a very
strong cnlining and domestic science
club, organized by tlie girls. A beauti-
ful exhibit of the work of tlie girls
was on display, showing dresses, mid-
dy blouses and other plulin and fancy
sowing. There was also an exhibit of
corn, oats, alfalfa, eggs of various
breeds of poultry and an exhibit, of
different kinds .of wood, suylf as buck
berry, bois rt-arc, elm, that grow ifi
that section of the county-.-which' ex-

Speaking of conversations, real or

It gets worse all the time. But a nice

whom we will simply designate as A.,

“Don’t roast the game of golf. It
has made me twenty years younger.”
And a younger fellow whom nobody
knows and whom we shall thereforo
be obliged to call B. retorted thus:

age you are now, If you keep on play-
ing golf, how old will you be?”—Cleve-

Care Should Ba Taken to Minimise the
Danger of Accidenta.
At least three-fourths of the acci-
dents that occur in mountaineering are
the results of foolhardiness.
More than half .of (he entirct num-
ber of accidents happen to [gR-sons
climbing Without guides, soq$fc to
clualicrs attempting a ^ijigbronfc or
Impossible route with guides, and
tuere are still other forms of folly.
One may carelessly engage an Incom-
petent guide or an overbold one, who
will undertake nn ascent under unfa-
vorable conditions.
Eliminating these contingencies, there
remain certain risks which must be
taken by every climber who ascends
difficult mountains.
However fine the weather, there i*
tbe possibility that a sudden storm
may render the descent perilous,
though even then the chances are ten
to one that a skillful climber with
first class guides will return In safety.
Furthermore, on certain mountain*
there are places where a party la ex-
posed to danger from avalanches or
falling stones.
The risk may often be reduced to the
minimum by waiting for tbe best of
weather or by making a very, early
start.—All Outdoors.
Our Humorists.
All we ran say Is that we hope any
given humorist of ours will live out
the greatest length of days and not
stop Joking before he dies. We need
every moment of his threescore years
and ten to keep us sane and kind, and
we cannot be satisfied with a sltnted
measure of time for Idm. When lie be-
gins imsurpossnbly to delight the World
our national pride as well a* our hu-
man need is bound up in hid eontiun-
once. Possibly we are going from bad
to worse, as we havo always lieen, but
wo think we have been kept from the
worst by tlm humorist’s smile, not by
the satirist’s frown. Other races, oth-
er lands abound In songs and sermons,
but we have sent our laughter over the
world to save it alive more than any-
thing else could,—W. D. Howells iu

Lawn Mower
That Would Cut
WIRE?
Well, if you will come in

and a thousand other things right into your lawn?
A11 the blades of this DIAMOND EDGE Mower are specially
hardened to a temper that will not be affected by any of these ob-
structions. There are other advantages in this machine that we
will be glad to show you.
