At the Roman Catholic Church.
There was a large congrega-
tion present at the Roman
Catholic church Sunday evening
when Father Kernan made an
eloquent address upon the
Catholic taith in particular, and
Christian doctrine in general.
Services will be held every
night this week at 7:30 o’clock,
a nd tonight the subject will be
the “Sacrifice of Mass.” All
desiring to attend will be wel-

Walter Garner, son of T. P.
Garner, of the_JLampasas river
section, starts out house keeping
in the proper way. Having suc-
ceeded in getting a most excel-
lent young woman to preside in
his home, he then secured the
necessary household goods to
make them comfortable, and
lastly added The Leader, so they
might know how things are going
outside their home.
we can all reach the coveted goal
if we are willing to pay the price.
The reason so many people fail
in the chase, they want to travel
the cheap John route, or in other
words they are bargain hunters.
There are no short cuts to the
hill-tops of success. There is no
such thing as luck in the battle
of life; success is not a game of
chance, but it comes through the
practice of frugality, industry
and by having the knack of stay-
ing everlastingly at it; this is the
key that will unlock the golden
gate and let you in. If you are
willing to pay the price, young
man, it’s yours.
If you expect to get to heaven
and wear a crown, you have got
to pay the price. Money and
handsome gifts are not the pre-
requisites to the crown of life.
You have got to get in God’s
garden and dig and sweat and
sow and reap and with the sweat
from your own brow and with
your own heart’s blood mix the
mortar, with your own hands
quarry the stone and build the
temple that will carry you up to
God. Character is a priceless
jewel, butit is in the reach of
everyone if they are willing to
pay the price. We passed by a
farm house—it was an ideal place,
a pretty cottage, a grassy lawn
in front, decorated here and there
with flower beds. Fat horses
and cattle were grazing in the
meadow. Everything about that
farm had the appearance of pros-
perity and plenty. Only a few
years ago this fine farm was a
briar patch and a black jack and
post oak woodland. But with
heroic faith and the exercise of
good judgment, steady work
through sunshine and shadow,
with muscle and elbow grease,
seasoned with backaches and
disappointments, this farmer
made the wild woodland blossom
with corn and cotton. Young
America, this farm is yours if
you are willing to pay the price.
We stood in front of an elegant
two-story stone structure with a
plate-glass front. The interior
of this handsome structure was
decorated with costly furniture.
In the office chair sat an elderly
looking man, the president of a
banking corporation whose cap-
ital stock was half a million.
He didn’t look like a man who
had gone through the mill of dif-
ficulties and hardships, but he
had. Forty-five years ago a
beardless young man walked into
a frontier village without a dol-
lar, his earthly belongings were
on his back, his capital stock
__was his brains and muscle and
The fact that Prof. G. D. Scott,J an abundance of ambition and

beautiful farms and dotted here
and there with large cities, he
heard the toot of the iron horse
and the rumbling of commerce.
He invested his earnings in Tex-
as black waxey soil when- he
could buy it for fifty cents per
acre, and when the rush of im-
migration came the profits on his
investments made him rich. It
wasn’t luck but foresight and
judgment. This elderly gentle-
man sitting in. the office chair
with the key to the bank vault is
one and the same. The bank
can be yours, young man, if you
are willing to pay the price.—

There is an uprising of what
are known as “Snake Indians” in
Oklahoma, the territory affected
being in the central part of that
state, between Guthrie and
Oklahoma City on the one side
and Muskogee on the other. Six
men have been killed and more
than a dozen wounded in con-
tacts which have already occur-
red and more than two hundred
men, militia and officers, are
now in pursuit of Cr£zy Snake
and his gang. If the local
authorities need help, Uncle Sam
will take a hand and he never
fails.
