FAITHFUL WORK.
HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.
The expression, "Faithful work Is
always of the same size.” appeared in
a recently published article. It opens
a world of thought to those who pause
tong enough to consider such matters,
besides offering a generous share of
somfort and encouragement to those
who sometimes grow disheartened at
the apparent result of their efforts.
It is true that the world is not always
as appreciative as it might be. hut
then while the world has a big heart
and. as a rule, a kindly disposition, it preferable

ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in

dose the following night, if necessary.
You will find the child w ill quickly re-

Dallas, Texas: Seven prisoners,
PLANT OF FURNITURE COMPANY I three of whom were being held on
DAMAGED ABOUT $100,000. charges of burglary with explosives,
j escaped from the county jail Saturday
-- j morning. Several ottier men who were
confined in the same cells with those
who escaped would also have secured
their liberty if a Deputy Sheriff had
not sebn one of the escaping men as
he crawled from the window.
One of the seven was captured by
the officers who ran from the court
house to the Jail, a distance of more
than 100 yards. ’Jhe other six have
not been seen or heard of as far as
is known. Officers in ail the surround-
ing counties were notified of the es-
cape and asked to watch for the men.
Just how the prisoners managed to
effect the escape is not known, but it is
supposed that in some way one of
the men, who is an expert in locks of
all kinds, combination and otherwise,
managed to evade the attention of the
jailer, as he was shutting them in the
cells for the night and in this way
was enabled to work the combination
that locks the cells and thus release
the others. The steel bars which pro-
tect the windows to the building were
sawed through and a hole large enough
for a man to crawl through was made,
a blanket was let down and out of this
window', and down the blanket the men
went to freedom.

Fort Worth, Texas: Causing
the loss of one life, the Fort Worth
Furniture Companys' warehouse and
finishing room of its $150,060 plant,
Just beyond the western city limits
at the Intersection of the Arlington
Heights Boulevard and the Frisco
tracks, burned Tuesday night, with
a loss of property estimated by the
company at $100,000.
A workman named Kniff, who was
saving furniture, was caught under a
falling wall and crushed to death. His
body was recovered.
The fire was in the large brick build-
ing, in w-hich is the machinery and
other departments of the factory. That
building is divided into two parts by a
heavy fire wall. That wall confined
the fire to the finishing and warerooms
where is originated.
None of the machinery seemed to
bb damaged. Much of the furniture
was carried out from the warerooms
and saved, though marred in the hasty
removal.
The company made the finest as well
as common furniture and had a stock
of about $20,000 worth of furniture on
hand when the fire started.
A common method oT dealing with
greaser laborers in the new stale ot
New’ Mexico is to have them work on
shares. A somewhat original applica-
tion of the system is told on a well-
known manager of one of the 30,000- I
acre ranch corporations.
A certain Mexican had been ac-
costing the manager several times j
and asking for a job.
“Well, come over to my office,” the |
boss told him finally, “and maybe 1
can fix up something with you.”
“Now I need a lot of postholes dug,”
he began.
"What will you give me?” asked the
Mexican.
“Well,” replied the employer gener- tree?’’

for an aviation meet to be held at Fair

two Sundays. The city is to b« at

It is announced by James P. Ander-

Shot With a Knfte.
Years ago in a stock performance of
a famous old melodrama, the villain,
Charles Wolcott, suddenly discovered
that he had left his revolver in the
dressing room. In much confusion, he
fumbled in his pocket and found a
penknife which, he figured, would do
just as well for the bloody deed.
Imagine his consternation when, after
plunging the blade into the hero’s
breast, that player failed to change
his lines and screamed at the top of
his voice: ‘Heaven forgive you! I’m

Father of J. B. Sneed Victim of R. O.
Hilliard at Georgetown.
Georgetown, Texas: Joseph T.
Sneed, one of the most prominent cit-
ixens of Williamson County, was shot
and killed here bv R. O. Hilliard of
Rosebud. Hilliard then fired a bullet
into his own heart, dying immediately
on the sidewalk where he fell.
Mr. Sneed was the father of J. B.
Sneed, who shot and killed Capt. A.
G. Boyce, Sr., Jan. 13 at Fort Worth
as the result of trouble over Mrs.
J. B. Sneed and A. G. Boyce, Jr. The

A local doctor once sent his man ;

the patient and the plls to his mas-

with the fowls the following prescrip-
