also understands wrapping

George Hammond, that gen-
tlemanly ranchman from beyond
Naruna, was here the other day
and paid The Leader a pleasant
call. He has a splendid property
and it provides a good living for
his family, but at times he be-
comes discontented and wants to
sell out. It is only human to de-
sire a change.-
Wm. Thompson, from Coryell
county, near Slater, was among
the visitors here, his principal
business being to supply himself
with a windmill and pumping ap-
paratus for bringing water to the
surface for his stock. He owns
a farm and ranch of about 800
acres and is making everything
about him convenient and com-
fortable.
Life has its disappointments,
its dreary days, its black hours
and darkening clouds for all of
us; yet the cares, the difficulties,
the burdens of our life are the
raw materials God puts into our
hands out of which we are to
weave life’s shining raiment and
crown of glory.—Catholic News.
Complimentary Entertainment.
One of the most delightful en-
tertainments of the season was
given Wednesday evening at the
home of Dr. and Mrs. H. F. Dick-
ason, complimentary to Mrs.
Dickason’s brother, Otho Mitch-
ell, and his bride. In the receiv-
ing line were Dr. and Mrs. Dick-
ason and Mr. and Mrs. Otho
Mitchell.
The decorations of the three
rooms and reception# hall were
entirely of red hearts and cupids,
the window draperies represent-
ing one large heart with a legion
of small ones. In each doorway
was suspended a miniature cupid
embedded in a heart of red roses,
and one of the archways was a
grill work of red crepe paper
with streamers of crimson hearts
forming portieres, and in every
room the walls were adorned with
a frieze of tiny red hearts, all of
which was very effective.
Progressive forty-two was the
game of the evening, there being
nineteen tables. The score cards
and tally pads were in the form
of hearts representing cupids in
various occupations. After a
number of games, lunch cloths
in heart designs were spread on
the tables, and a delicious course
w^s served consisting of turkey
with dressing, cranberry sauce,
waldorf salad, heart-sh aped
bread and butter sandwiches,
pickles, salted nuts, and coffee
with whipped cream.
After serving, Mrs, B. C.
Greenwood toasted the honorees
with the following lines, compos-
ed by Will Haden:
“Since the days of the crusad-
ers; since the birth of chivalry,
when gallant knights dared to
die for ladies fair; when military
prowess and diplomacy vied with
each other for supremacy ; when
gladiators of world-renown en-
tered the arena of the coliseum
to measure strength and skill
with foemen worthy of their steel;
since that time the greatest
achievement that has ever been
accomplished by any man, has
been to win the heart and hand
of a true and devoted woman.
That man, whether he be of high
or low degree, is a fit object of
envy for any monarch on any
throne. In the name of our club
whose honored badge our com-
rade wears, we offer this toast
and tribute to the future happi-
ness of him, and her who hence-
forth bears his name:
Here’s to the man who stakes his
life,
On the girl he loves and makes
his wife;
Long may he live to honor her
Who has placed her all in his
tender care.
Here’s to the bride with golden
hair,
With heart of gold and face as
fair;
There’s nothing more pure in
heaven above,
Than the woman who stakes her
life for love.
God bless them both and bless
us all,
Who follow Hymen’s gentle call;
For of all glad words of tongue
or pen,
The gladdest are these, ‘Good
will to men.’
Good will to man who takes a
wife,
Good will to her whof stakes her
life,
On one last turn of fortune’s
wheel,
May heaven close the sacred
deal.
God speed, dear friends on love’s
young dream,
Glide gently down life’s placid
stream
Which ends in ocean’s sullen
roar,
But lands you on the golden
shore.”
The hostess was ably assisted
in entertaining by Mesdames W•
F. Mace and James Taylor.

Messrs, and Mesdames F. J. Har-
ris, J.' R. Key, Arthur Frazer,

Weather Report.
The following is the weather
forecast as reported by the gov-
ernment :
Tonight and Saturday general-
ly fair.
The ladies of the Library As-
sociation will serve oysters and
home-made candy at the Acker
building, Friday evening from 5
to 10 o’clock. d64
Many of the people of the city
and country carefully note the
weather reports as they are fur-
nished by the government from
day to day, and some go even so
far as to shape their work for the
following day by these reports.
Joe Field especially expresses his
thanks to the government, to the
telephone operators and to all
who in any way keep him and
others posted as to the probabili-
ties of the weather. The Leader
takes pleasures in publishing
these forecasts, and knows a
number of people who make this
their first item in reading the pa-
per. Sometimes, it is true, the
prognostications are of no value,
but often they are eminently cor-
rect.
The shortest and safest way t6
live with honor in the world is to
be in reality what we would ap-
pear to be; and if we observe we
shall find that all human virtues
increase and strengthen them-
selves by the practice and ex-
perience of them.—Socrates.
Scripture Quotation.
“The fear of man bringeth a
snare; but whoso puteth his trust
in the Lord, shall be safe.”

S. C. Littlepage has purchased
the Ferd J. Matthews home, 98
acres just beyond the Hancock
park ground, about one and a
half miles from the courthouse,
the place formerly owned , by S.
M. Elliott, and previously owned
by G. R. R. Berry. It touches
the creek, has a nice improve-
ment upon it in the way of resi-
dence and outbuildings, and Mr.
Littlepage and family will be
comfortable there, He is receiv-
ing the congratulations of his
friends upon again becoming a
citizen here, and we all hope he
will be permanent, Mr. and Mrs.
Matthews will move to the city
within a few days, and will later
build a home somewhere on the
land between the Sulphur creek
and the oil mill property.
Buncoed the Preacher.
The “skin game” is played in
many ways, A new form devel-
oped in Oklahoma a few days
ago and it worked beautifully.
A strange man and woman blew
into Springfield with a pocket
full of marriage licenses. They
called upon a minister and had
him perform a marriage cere-
mony. The man asked the price
of the minister’s service and be-
ing told that he could pay such
amount as he desired, dived for
his purse. He only had a dollar
and a half in change; too small
a sum, he said. Then he wrote
a check for twenty dollars, which
the minister was asked to cash
and retain ten dollars for his
services; the preacher did so.
The couple then went through
the same program, then to an-
other—six in all. They then
j left town with $60 of minister’s
money, and when the ministers
presented the checks for pay-
ment they were informed that the
parties were unknown and the
checks no good.—Honey Grove
Signal.
No man can do his work well,
as well as he can, year in and
year out, and not be hacking
and hewing at something more
impalpable than wood or stone,
and not be shaping something
more durable than iron or steel,
even his own character, his own
spiritual destiny. Every work-
shop is a workshop for forging
that, for making it strong and
beautiful.—Catholic News.
