| "Peggy from Paris" is coming to this
city, therefore smile and look happy
and assume an expression of placid
' expectancy. "Peggy from Paris" Is
the successful musical play that was
j written by tne famous humorist, Geo.
' Ade. whose stories and "Fables In
Slang" have delighted untold thous-
ands. Everybody knows that Mr. Ado
j is witty, and In none of his works Is
the wit, satire and humor exceeded
by that in "Peggy from Paris." Mr.
Ade wrote "Peggy from Paris" to en-
tertain and amuse persons who enjoy
bright and musical plays, and he scor-
ed heavily. The play ran four montns
in New York, five months In Boston
and three months in Chicago. It Is
brighter and merrier and. more amus-
ing now than It was when It delighted
the public of those "cities for so long a
time. Mr. Ade last summer prepared
much new material for "Peggy." Many
fresh Ideas and much liuipor were add*
ed. The play Is more attractive now
than when it attained the long runs
In New York, Boston and Chicago. The
critics and the public have united in
its praise wherever It has been pre-
(tented. Indeed, it must have quali-
ties that please mightily, else it could
not have made its record of runs, for
the public doeB not patronize plays it
does not like and it must enjoy them
thoroughly when It keeps them going
for months In one city. "Peggy of Par.
1b" is bright and attractive. Its wit
is wholesome, clear-cut and crisp.
It compels laughter and furnishes un-
failing enjoyment'

Dallas, Tex., Nov. 18.—Colonel Isaac
W. Brown, the Indiana "bird and bee
man," who was sent to Texas by Miss
Helen Miller Gould, made an address
to about 800 students at the blgh
school this morning. This will com-
plete his course of addresses which he
Kas been delivering at different places
In the state and be will leave for St.
4wHlgW,'"*flW8^rwllf hold a
conference with Miss Gould In regard
to his future work.
Besides the lecture which he gave
here this morning, he has made
speeches at Waco, Mart, Fort Worth
and other places In the state. Colonel
Brown, who is a native of Indiana, Is
a tall, fine looking man and has
way about 'aim which appeals to the
children and which makes them his
friends In his two forty-five minute
talks which he made this mornihg to
the pupils of the high school he fully
demonstrated not only his familiarity
« I w'ta birds, but also his complete
a com i knowledge of the different kinds of
n thora on whlch they fe
1—insects
and urged ^If1 liHUHJitf to do"
their power to help protect the birds
and said that if the birds were all
killed tefflay that In fifteen years there
would not be any limber left In this
country, for all the trees would be
killed by the ravages of the many
different Insects which pray upon them
He told of a telephone company at
Waco which had given fifty cents a
piece for each red-headed woodpecker
which was killed and ridiculed the
idea that the damage done to telephone
poles was enough to justify such meas-
ures and said that the telephone com-
pany better nave a few telephone poles
with woodpecker boles in them than
give a premium to persons for destroy-
ing one of the most valuable birds in
this country, considering its insect de-
stroying capacity.

Mrs. H .1. Plnsr Formerly of Sherman
Entertains Pathfinder Club.
The following from State Topics will
be of Interest to the many friends of
Mrs. Piner in this city:
Friday afternoon at her home in Aus-
tin Mrs. H. L. Piner extended her hos-
pitality to the Pathfinder club and a
number of their friends and associate
members. The club has been studying
Dickens this year, and himself and his
writings were the keynote of this en-
tertainment. A bust and a pleasing
portrait, of the popular author were
placed prominently In view, and
wreathed in the "ivy green" that he
loved a*p well. This graceful vine
clambered over the curtains and made
a leafy border for the mantels and calb-
Inets. Mrs. W. G. Bell sang with much
feeling that once upon a time great
favorite, "A Rare Old Plant is the Ivy
Green.' Different members of the club
participated in the tableau taken from
the four books studied, "David and
Dora," from "David Copperfleld," "Mr.
Pickwick and the Widow Bardell,"
from "Pickwick Papers" "Sidney Car-
ton and the Little Seamstres" from
"A Tale of Two Cities." and "Oliver
Twist," uaklng for more. Famllias
quotations from the above mentioned
novels proved a- pldaatng diversion,
and there were prizes for those plac-
ing accurately the greatest numbe-r.
A Dickens party would certainly have
been incomplete without punch, and
although there was no real Mr. Mlcaw-
ber to draw the delicious beverage, a
"line mixer" had been substituted and
In the nectar served there was nothing
left to, be desired either in quality or
quantity. A tempting course of dain-
ties was also much enjoyed. Mr. and
Mrs. Piner entered with much zest
into tbe spirit of the afternoon, and
the club is grateful to them for much
that provoked ndrth and merriment

COTTON'S BIO FEE.
Washington, D. 0. Nov. 18.—Suit
was Instituted today in the supreme
court of the District of Columbia by
Attorney John B. Cotton against the
secretary of the treasury and Gov-
ernor Bates of Massachusetts to re-
strain tbe secretary from Issuing a du-
plicate warrant for $1,611,000 on ac-
count of a claim of the state of Mass-
achusetts against the United tytatee
government.
Cotton was employed by the state
as attorney to collect the claim, and
when it was allowed the secretary of
the treasury Issued him a warrant for
the amount involved. Cotton claims
that his contract with the state calls
for the payment to him as counsel of
10 per cent of the entire sum.
The state authorities consider tne
fee too large and have asked for a set-
tlement of the matter by arbitration.
Before a final adjustment of the ques-
tion could be had the secretary of the
treasury had turned over the warrant
to Cotton. Governor Bates thereupon
asked for the issuance of a duplicate
warrant. Cotton's suit being for the
purpose of preventing the secretary
from taking such action.
Killed in Wreck.

partment of the Frisco, was killed in a

Matters of Interest Reported from One
of Sherman's Favorite Schools.
DOUBLE LIFE REVEALED.
Peoria, 111., Nov. 19.—Death haa re
vealed an extraordinary case of double
life led by Dr. T. C. Conklln, a promt-
t ent physician of Farmington, who
died Nov. 8. Yesterday the wife with
whom he was living at the time of his
death went to Lewiston, Fulton oounty,
to have herself appointed adminis-
tratrix of bis estate. She was horrified
to And the reoords showed that many
years ago her husband had been mar*
ried to a Miss Steel, and that tbe first
wife, together with four children, the
res nit of the union, were still alive,
The wife lives In this city. Two
Frank and Bert Conklln, live In
rla, and owe daughter, Mm, ~
Conklln, live In Racine, wis.

a fight for the estate.
A peculiar feats re of the ease Is
that all the time he waa living In
Farmiugton Dr. Conklln afforded pe-
Malary SMRrtanee to his children and
fin* wMslr this city. The revelation
has produced a sensation, as Dr. Conk-
was prominent and well known.
The
aaU
The college football team has been
disappointed in their hope that Wall
school would come over and engage in
a practice game. The school men-
tioned promised to do this, but for
some reason best known to the ex-
pected visitors, the engagement was
called off.
Interest coupled with much anxiety
is manifest over the coming game
with Trinity. It is probable that the
Trinity boys are the best players of
football in the state, with the single
exception of the state university team.
The game between Austin college and
Trinity Is sure to be one of prime
interest and should be witnessed by
nil lovers of the sport.
E. A. DeWltt, state representative
of a leading Boston fitm of publishers,
was in the city yesterday from Dallas.
Mr. DeWltt spent all of the forenoon
vlBltlng at the college.
Tae Seniors welcome Mr. L. R. Stev-
enson back from St. Jo, who. it is
learned, has returned to finisch. Mr.
Stevenson was In school last term,
leaving before completing tbe course.
Hard work Is being ptit in upon the
"Chromoscope," the college annual. It
Is now deemed highly probable that
the annual will be the best in many
respects ever yet published.
The Y. M. C. A. ladies' auxiliary is
quite active at present. Letters are
being sent to all parts of Texas and or.
ganlsatlons are being formed in dif-
ferent cities and towns for tbe pur-
pose of aiding toe students in the erec-
tion of th* Daniel Baker building.
The progres -being made in this di-
rection is highly gratifying to all con-
cerned.
Last mentioned, but in no manner
least In interest Just at this time, Is
the "Deestrict Skule," which Is to be
presented at the oollege on the 86th
of the present month. Extensive prep,
aratlons have been made for this en-
tertainment and It Is aa assured sue-
ceus. No greater fun producer was
ever known.

not their salvation, for Paul declares
that if any man's works are burned in

though as by fire. The third- judgment
is described-! in .Matthew 26, and is a
judgment of living nations at the be-

wicked dead prior to their consignment

John 6:24 R. V.
At night the'parable of.the good
Samaritan was taken up as illustrating
the gospel. It W^s ph<
and grace
"doing the
the requirements ot God's holy law.
In fact the law was not given to save
men, but to show them< their sin and
failure and so drive them for refuge to
the mercy ot God in Christ. In the
parable Christ is represented by tbe
good Samaritan, who saves tbe poor
n<an who represents the sinner, whom
satan has bruised <uid stripped, and
which can do. nothing for one who Is
helpless but requires doing. The
Levite is tbe ordlnaces of God's house
which also rsqelre life for their, ob-
servance. Therefore, both these (pass
by on the ot!;er side, but the good
Samaritan comes where he is, as
Carlst came down to us in. our low
estate, and. inptead of requiring any-
thing of him pours In oil and wine
binding up hie wounds, putting him
on his own beaft and taking care of
him. So Christ asks not the sinner
to give him anything but to receive
everything from, Him as It* is declared
"the gift of Ged Is eternal life," ^d
"unto as many aa received Him, to
them gave He power to become the
children of God." He then leaves him
with the promise thati he will come
again even as Christ's last, wo^ds to
His people as recorded .in the last
chapter of Revelation Is the promise
of coming again to which he expeoM
the response from every loyal and
believing heart "Even so come, LonT

"Since the arrival in this country
his imperial highness has been deep-
ly impressed with tbe good will and
courteoy universally shown him by

pathy for Japan entertained by them in
ber present struggle is a source of pro.
found satisfaction to his highness and
he earnestly hopes that his mission of
friendship and good will may in some
measure be conducive of strengthening
that tie of amity wnlch happily exists
between the. two countries.
"His highness especially feels grate,
ful to the president of the United
/States, who, representing as he does
the sentiments of the people of this
great republic, has extended to him a
most cordial wei me, and the prince
does not hesitate say tnat the unal-
loyed pleasure he has already derived
and will hereafter derive from his visit
to this country would far outwelglr
that of his military achievements on
the battlefields of Manchuria."
Before leaving the city Prince

Timber Disappearing
A Jew years ago there were thou-
sands and thousands of acres of land
In east Texas that were covered with
miles and miles of lonely and isolated
Irilie and bard wood forests. To the
casual traveler the land was apparent
ly worthless and the same could have
been said concerning the timber at the
time, because there was no means of
tre "asportation at band. Timber and
Jaod are wcrtbleps in a comparative
sense unless their products can be
Wcsed into channels of remunerative
usefulness. During the long stretch
of years ti at ended two decades ago
the settlement of esst Texas was slow
and in a r -l«er perfunctory t/ay. As a
rule the original settlers cared more
for hunting. and fishing than for ac-
tual bard-dos;n work. It is true, many
anchored themselves to the soil, built
homed, cleared -fields, and- became a
nucleus In the great desert of woods
around which settlements, villages and
iomnu h*ve since been built. As time
passed others came from the same
neighborhood as tbe original settler
or from an adjoining state. These old-
time settlers were from North Caro-
lina, South Carolina, Virginia, Ala-

the simple reason previously suggested
tnat there was no demand nor pres-
ent use for It Years afterward ( when
the country was getting to be thickly
settled, It was no unusual thing for
six hundred and forty acres of well
timbered and well watered land to be
swapped for a blanket, butcher knife
or Spanish pony. Gradually the con-
dition of things changed and with this
change there was also a change In the
industrial condition of the people in
many respects. Remanent settlers
came in and built nomes and farms.
Finally the railroad and saw mill peo-
ple came and their coming entirely
changed the old industrial conditions
of the country. Tbe vast pine forests
were bought up by peiople who have
since sawn their interests into lum
ber which has been Incorporated Into
the woof and warp of our Industrial
growth In thousands of ways. In fact
to attempt to enumerate the various
uses to which tae pine and its pro-
ducts has been put <by the ingenious
hand of man would be to write a his-
tory, exhaustive and Interesting of our
material growth as a people. From the
solitude of the forest In which its
tiny needle tongues have sung evening
songa in solitude, for hundreds of
years, the pine nas been manufactured
Into lumber, which in turn has been
used, alike in the hovels of the poor
and "Tbe Palace of the King." In
various ways it has witnessed many a
festive h6ur "when ohivalry and bright
eyed beauty" chased the flying hours
with busy feet; and on tne other ex
treme it has been present at the last
sad relating place of some one whose
name Is yet recorded in loving mem-
ory. In stately ships It has sailed
every ocean and landed at every port
on earth.
Some one has said that the May-
flower was made almost entirely of
pine and history atateit as a fact
that the first flsg aver unfurled by the
present United 8tMes long before it
become s nation bore on it the pic-
ture ot a pine tree.v
The pine trees pf East Texas msde
the land upon whieh they stood valu-
able by their occfpancy and In leav-
ing It, they made; the land still more
valuable because with "the passing
of the pine" another Industry Is com-
ing rapidly to the front—that of fruit
and truck growing. ,Tta« land
