much. It shears high points and re-

Then the father rushed up and with-

young rider lifted him from the side
of his favorite steed. In tearful re-
bellion the child was placed on the
horse of his father’s selection. He
tried to squirm down. With out-

horse. But because the father was
bigger and stronger, the lad sobbed

heart of a foe. But deep down in his!are renting, living off their folks or
bosom he was as kind and gentle as a
woman. He loved his friends, and all
that he possessed, whether represent-
ed in silver or smiles, was shared
with them.
The Colonel, on one occasion, wrote
an article which offended the “dig-
nity” of a certain “six-shooter baron”
living farther towards the West. Thai
baron saddled up his “boss” and came
to Waco with the announced purpose
of doing some nasty fighting. The
Colonel was as brave as a lion, but
he made the threat a joking matter
meeting the baron, inviting him to
have a drink without disclosing his
identity, and finally getting him
“soused.”
He listened to the baron and to
what Tie was going to do if he could
meet that editor. Then he said: “I
am McCollum.”
“Well, I’ll be durned,” replied the
baron. “I ought to kill you but I love
you too much.”
Colonel McCollum always stood his
ground, and he was adorned with in
tellectual courage. But he never pur-
posely injured a man in his life. You
could melt his heart with your own
helplessness, and draw upon his
strength with your weakness. I don’t
think I ever knew a sweeter charac-
ter, ft more helpful soul, one with
finer qualities of affability.
Waco has had some outstanding
publishers and writers like George
Robinson and “old Fred”, sound and
true, and like William Cowper Brann.

Nearly everybody buys on the in-
stallment plan. The chattel mortgage
records show that. When the same
couple buys furniture, their friends
and the county clerk’s office know
about it, assuming they purchased on
the painful payment plan.
Later it will be known when the
newly weds buy a radio. By and by
they will trade in the old ice box on
an electric, and the clerk will record
that. When the last note on the car
has been paid and, the lien has been
lifted the clerk is in a position to re-
joice with his fellow citizen. He knows
all about it.
If a citizen has an oil well to come
in or one he thinks will spot a fortune
soon, the leases tell everything. If a
person is wealthy the real estate
salesmen get to him and he buys a
lot of property. He probably does not
know where some of it is located, but
the county clerk does.
The chattel mortgage files, war-
ranty deed and trust deed records
form an accurate barometer of the
status of both the ^average citizen
and business generally.
The vital statistics the clerk is re-
quired to keep account for all deaths.
And in death there is no escape from
the all-knowing archives. The de-
ceased’s will shows how much he was
worth and who inherited it.
Is there nothing a person can do
without the county clerk knowing of
it?
Of course, a girl can kiss a fellow
the first time without the clerk mak
