Complimentary to Knifht Evans.
Elsewhere in .these columns
will be found •»« address by
- K*i£h4;WiU H* Evans, delivered \
at the meeting of the -Grand
Lodge Knights of Pythias beld
in the city of Galveston lact
week. Editor Thomas, of the
Leonard Graphic, attended the
meeting, and in writing it up for
his paper, he paid the following
complimentary remarks to Knight
Evans:
Grand Chancellor O. P. Thom-
as was down on the program for
a speech in response to the sev-
eral addresses of welcome, but
not being a speaker, pleading
ignorance of the graces of the
orator’s art, he introduced Will
H. Evans, of-Bonham, to whom
he had delegated the duty of a
response on behalf of the mem-
bers of the Grand Lodge, 'l'iiis
request came rather as a surprise
to Mr. Evans and caught him
without a set speech ready, but
his impromptu effort- was so
happy, his remarks so full of
pleasing humor, wise precepts,
and quaint maxims that the au-
dience was at once captivated,
and applause came with fast re-
curring frequency until at the
close of bis remarks ana the ad-
.journment of the session he was
given a regular ovation. Al-
though this is the first session of
the Grand Lodge Mr. Evans ever
attended he soon cngratiated him-
sell into the good graces of the
Knights and is already easily one
of the most popuTar members ot
the order with the Grand Lodge
delegates, and should bis friends
ever conclude that they want him
to fill Grand Lodge bffices he can
go in with a whoop. The Fan-
nin county delegation is proud of
Knight Evans and were delighted
with the cordial reception given
him at this meeting.

What to Take Home.
After you haye finished vour
day’s work and started home,
what do you most often take
with you? asks an exchange.
This is truly a question worth
the asking. There are many
many things that you can take,
and should whenever it is pos-
sible, but above all the best
thing that a man can take home
with him at night is a clean rec-
ord. A man should, every even-
ing,be Able to say when he turns
the knob on hts front door: “I
have not made ‘a pile of money to-
day but I have not defiled mv
manhood—I have not prospered
through cruel injustice to my
fellowman. I have not defamed
tn~ neighbor. I have not tempted
tlie weak. I have at least once
today stretched out the hand of
helpfulness to another.” Is it
| possible to conceive of a better
■ gift to present to the home cir-
cle, or one that will please its
members more?

A College for Leonard. ^
Some time ago we mentioned
the fact that an effort was being
made by the good people of Leon-
are to procure a college for that
progressive little city, said col-
lege, when established, to be un-
der the management and control
of the North Texas and Bonham
Presbytery, but to be non-secta-
rian, and open to all.
We are glad to state that pro-
gressive steps are already being
taken to accomplish the desired
^nd.
The Leonard Graphic last
week, in speaking of a meeting
that had been held looking to
the prosecution of the work, said
in part:
After a full discussion of the
subject the committee was or-
ganized with Byron Braly as
chairman, Dr. R. H. Crabb as
vice-chairman, and D. H. Dod-
son as secretary.
No more auspicious beginning
could have been made than put-
; ting ot Mr. Braly at the head of
this'committee. Not only is he,
J like the others, deeply interested
! in the development and growth
J. LEE TARPLEY & CO
* FUNERAL DIRECTORS
of the town, but in addition to
this he has the reputation ot car-
rying through to success any en-
terprise to which he lends his
aid.
The members of the committee
are B. B. Braly, J. O. Kuyrken-
dall, G. D. Galloway, Dr. R. H.
Crabb, Y. T. Manning, C. C.
Miles, W. S. Neale.
All of these are men of high
commercial standing and integ-
rity, and no Leonard enterprise
could have more assurance of sue
cess than to be under their con-
trol.
The only things determined at
this meeting were that no lot
should be sold for less‘than $100,
that those buying should draw
for choice, and that unless at
least a hundred could be sold
none would be sold. At the next
meeting a more detailed plan
will be worked out and published.
Every member of the commit-
tee is confident that these lots
can be easily sold and that the
purchase of them will orove a
good financial investment.
As soon as 130 lots are sold the
dirt will begin to flvand Leonard
will soon have a college the equal
of any town in North Texas.

Collectors Constantly on Their Qmnrd
Affalnat Fraud.
Collectors of antiques have to be all
the time on their guard against fraud.
Even then they are often deceived.
Artists exist who can Impose on the
very elect. A well known collector had
a precious box of rare enamel. He sent
It to Vienna to be repaired, and the In-
genious mender fitted it with a new
lid. Then he put a new lower part to
the original lid, and two collectors were
made happy.
A gem cutter took a modern gold
Greek ring, recut the stone with an
Intaglio of an important subject, made
a turkey swallow the ring and after
some time killed the turkey. The resi-
dence in the bird’s crop had endowed
the gem with all the marks of age.
A scholar in a little known part of
Dalmatia was seeking gold coins and
ornaments of the old Servian dynasty.
A dealer came to him with a beautiful-
ly wrought crucifix, which he claimed
to be a genuine antique. In examining
the article with a glace the student
came across a tiny inscription, and,
better versed than the dealer gave him
credit for being, he read it aloud, “This
cross was made In 1898 by —giving
the name of the maker It said. The
dealer stood not on the order of his go-
ing, but left at once.
Many a reputed article is its own un-
doing. At one time a number of lead
coins were pat on the market as an-
tiques. It was discovered that the
Arabic numerals with which they were
dated were of the fashion not invented
at the supposed time of their making.
Collectors, young and old, trained and
untrained, are constantly being taken
in. Even museums themselves are not
free from fakes.

At the Skating Rink.
At the City Skating Rink, just
west of 1 he News office, a*large
crowd gathered Friday night to
witness the greased pig skating
contest. No, gentle Annie, the
ij pig did not put on skates and cut
capers tor the amusement of the
spectators, but a razor-back was
turned loose in the rink and four
fellows on skates, Messrs. Mark-
ham and Seargant, of this city,
and McCants and BufTun, of Kan-
sas City, entered a conte5t to
catch him and put him back in
the crate, located in the middle
of the rink.
The pig was chased fifteen
minutes before the contest began,
then the contest was on hot and
heavy. Alter a few' merry and
reckless chases around the rink,
BufTun, of Kansas City, landed
the game, and bagged the $5.00
prize.
About 300 people were present
to witness the affair.
A new' tloor is being put in the
rink; it will probably be com-
pleted today.

The Beet Quality Coatee From the la-
land of I.lparl.
We often hear It remarked, and par-
ticularly after the eruption of a volca-
no, that pumice atone ought to be plen-
tiful and (‘heap, as quantities most
have been ejected during the volcanic
disturbance. As a matte&/>f fact, how-
ever, none of the white stone In gen-
eral use is obtained from active volca-
noes. It comes from tbe deposits of tbe
article discovered In one or two quar-
ters of the globe, the best of which is
at preseut to be found In the island of
Lipari, situated In the Tyrrhenian sea.
The island is mountainous In character
and consists of tuffs and lavas and of
highly siliceous volcanic products. The
district where the stone Is found is
called Cauipo Blanco or Monte Petals,
1,500 feet above the level of the sea.
After riding a considerable distance,
partly along precipitous paths suffi-
ciently dangerous to be Interesting and
partly through .vineyards and over
grassy plains, one almost comes sud-
denly upon a seemingly snow clad val-
ley, inclosed by hills also quite white,
and the whole glaringly bright on a
sunny day. Into those hills workmen
are unceasingly digging deep burrows,.
working within by candlelight In tbeir
excavations they come across many
lumps of pumice stone, which are plac-
ed in baskets, subsequently being con-
veyed along the valley to the seashore,
where small boats are loaded and sail
to the seaport near by, where the stone
Is sorted, packed and shipped to dis-
tant parts either by way of Mess lea or
Leghorn.
