section, was here Monday and
made The Leader a pleasant bus-
iness call. He is one of the sub-
stantial and reliable citizens of
the northern part of Burnet coun-

comfortable surroundings. It is
a pleasure to know him.
Our good friend, W. A. Rain-
water, was among the pleasant
callers on The Leader. He be-
lieves in this paper and the whole

citizen, contented with his fine

and makes a success of life.
Bud Landers, one of the suc-
cussful young farmers living

have the thanks of the entire of-
fice. May their numbers in-
crease as the days pass along.

old inhabitants of Liberty and
Liberty county. Hs will return
by way of Waco and take in some
of the sights of the Cotton Pal-
ace.
Mrs..M. A. Collins and her
daughter, Mrs. A. C. Meador, of
Santa Anna, have returned to
their homes after a pleasant visit
with the son and brother, W. P.
Collins, whose home is three
miles east of Lampasas. Mr.
Collins had a great birthday din-
ner while his mother and sister
were present, and one of those
fine white Holland turkeys suf-
fered death in honor of the occa-
sion, but none of the visitors
learned the exact age of the host
on that natal day, although a
number enjoyed the dinner.
Good luck to you in the future,
Friend Collins, and may you yet
have numerous and pleasant an-
niversaries.
Potato Peeling Distinction.
A. B. C. writes to us about a deli-
cate point in use of words. Our corre-
spondent objects to the use of the
word “peeling” as applied in the story
of Sacca Bonna and the potatoes, a
few weeks ago. The word should have
been “paring.” There is authority for
the contention that raw potatoes are
pared, while potatoes boiled with their
jackets on may be peeled. It is a fine
distinction, but logical. You pare a
thing by taking a knife and removing
its outer integument—together with
some of the substance of the thing it-
self. But to ffeel an apple or a potato
or a case of sunburn, you seize the al-
ready loosened integment itself and
simply strip it off—it’s hard to put into
words, but yon see how it is don’t you?

Anecdotes of Charles Rsac’e.
Charles Rerde-’s liberal drawing:
upon “authorities” in his passion in-
accuracy of detail gave rise to some
foolish charges of plagiarism, parti
ularly in the case of his masterpiece
“The Cloister and the Hearth.” Hi
reply to the charges was characters
tic and clinching. “I milked 300 cows
for it,” said he, “but the cheese 1
made is mine.” For eccentricitie"
Reade can claim a high place ever;
among authors, few of whom are with
out their fads. He could not write
away from his own room, with its in
numerable volumes of cuttings and in-
dexes, and he could not write well, lie
declared, except when standing up.
He never took lunch, terming that
meal “an insult to one’s breakfast,”
detested soup and beef, preferred
herring to every other fish, was a
connoisseur of wine, but never touched
spirits, and loathed the very smell of
tobacco.
How Huxley Chose a Name.
In a letter to Sir Michael Foster,
Huxley tells him the derivation of the
name of the house—now about to be
put up for auction—which he built fgr
himself at Eastbourne. “One is obliged
to have names for houses here. Mine
will be ‘Hodeslea,’ which is as near as
I can go to ‘Hodeslia,’ the poetical orig-
inal shape of my very ugly name.
There was a noble scion of the House
of Huxley who, having burgled and
done other wrong things (temp. Henry
IV), asked for the benefit of clergy. I
expect they gave it to him, not in the
way he wanted, but in the way they
would like to benefit a later member
of the family. Between this gentle-
man and my grandfather there is un-
fortunately a complete blank, but I
ha^e none the less faith in him as my
ancestor.”
Cruel Deception.
A neighbor had a parrot and a dog
named Mac. The mistress did not
allow Mac in the house unless she
called him. Mac could open the
screen door, but seldom did so, as he
was whipped when he did. It amused
Polly much to see Mac whipped.
Polly could imitate the voice of the
mistress perfectly. One day Mac was
whipped for entering and shut out
again. He came in again, then the
third time, each time receiving his
punishment and being sent out again.
The mistress could not understand
Why Mac was so unruly, so she did.
not return to her work, but .waited.
What was her surprise to hear a
voice say, “Come in, Mac. Poor Mac.
Come in, Mac.” It was Polly calling
Mac to see him punished and sent out
again.
Word Origins.
“Take no thought for the morrow”
is now understood in an entirely dif-
ferent manner from that in which it
fvas intended when the King James
Version was prepared. Then the ex-
pression “to take thought” was uni-
versal as a synonym for anxious solici-
:ude.- Tabby, the name of a well-
known species of cat, was formerly
itabi, which was a term used to desig-
nate a peculiar pattern in the silks
manufactured in Persia. The mark-
ings in the fur of the cat resemble the
pattern in the silk, hence the double
application of the name. Jovial once
meant the type of character supposed
to belong to all persons who were
born when the planet Jupiter, or .Tove,
was in the ascendent. They were sup-
posed to possess more of the cheerful
elements of character than others,
and hence to partake of the benign
Qualities attributed to the Father oi
the Gods.

Nothing Missing.
Mrs. Benton tasted the savory mor
eel she had carefully compounded in
the chafing dish, and looked at her
husband somewhat apprehensively.
Then she said: “Somehow it don’t
taste just as Mrs. Mink’s did the other
night. Yet I thought I remembered
the recipe all right. I suppose I must
have left something out.” Mr. Benton
tasted, reflectively. “I don’t think so,”
he remarked. Mrs. Benton’s face
brightened visibly. Then her husband
continued: “There’s nothing you
could leave out,” he said, “that would
make it taste like this. It’s something
you’ve put in!”
