Well, thank goodness, the
primary election is over. 1 have
heard politics till I can't look an
old hen straight in the eyes
We all sympathise with the old
l>oy.s who get defeated. Bless
them. D. E. Skinner was in the
race for constable for Precinct
No. 6, but was defeated as Wil
lis Nichols was re-elected to the
office. I think the reason Er-
win didn't get elected was that
he didn't electioneer enough;
he only went so far south as
Houston, as far east as Shre
veport, as far north as Clarks-
ville, and as far west as Fort
Worth, if I had been running
for constable, I would have got
ten out and seen all the voters

AS TUB IlKhta wtfnt down a hu h
of expectancy settled over tlie
audience at the theater. Host of the
fnco were alight with anticipation,
but the old man and woman Id the
back seuta of the Drat balcony looked
Tery grave. They wera country pea
pie, and they had never been to a the-
ater before.
"I'leaae Ood, It Isn't true, Hary!"
aald the old man.
Hla wife pressed hi* hand gently.
She knew how deeply he felt upon tlie
subject.
It was. for those simple minds, ■
tragic situation. Their daughter Lucy |
had left the farm three years before '
And some meddlesome busybody hml
told the old people that she was ac-
tually—an actress!
To their simple minds thero could
have been nothing more degrmllnK.
The stage was the acme of all that
was vilest In the world. They tmd
come up to town, without announcing
their Intentions, and were now await-
ing the rising of the curtain u| >n
the first act of "The Merchant of Ven-
ice."
Portia does not appear at the begin-
ning of that play. And before she had
come 6n the stage the old people were
staring In wonder at the magnificence
of the setting. More than that. In
place of the Immorality which tlioy
had expected to find Inculcated, tlio.v
found a story, so gripping, so pathetic
that they were spellbound.
But when Portia appeared they
leaned forward with a revival of their
old terror. Portia was Lucy I—Miss
Margaret Lake, as she was billed. It ,
was true, then I
There was almost an expression of
pride, but there was also bewilder-
ment. His Lucy I Their little jrtri:
How could this he shel
So the ploy went on toward Its drn- I
tnatlc finale. And now William Mul- )
Una and his wife were following the |
developments with bated breath. And
the life-long horror of the stage was
forgotten. And when the great trial
scene came on, and Shylock sharpened {
his knife, and thlnga looked bail for
hla enemy, tears came into their eyes,
"He'll get him, Mary!" whispered
her husband.
"Hh-sh I" rang out the angry whis-
pers; and he subsided Into his Heat
In dismay at the storm he had raised.
But when Portia came In, attired as
the doctor of laws, William Mullins
knew her immediately.
"That'a Lucy!" he whispered.
"Mother! That'a our girl I Look at
her I"
He eat now Ilk* a man entranced,
staring at her. And when she con
founded Shylock with her' learning,
when, after appealing to bis humanity
In vain, ahe ruthlessly unmasked the
laws and drove him, suppliant, before
the Judge's seat, the father could re-
strain himself no longer.
He atood up In his seat am! waved
his hand.
"By Crlcky, Lucy, you've got him!"
he yelled. "Good girl! That's the
wsy! Teach the rogue n lesson I Tell
his honor not to let h!m get away
with his life! No mercy!"
There were no longer whispers of
remonstrance. Instead, there was an
uproarious outburst of laughter, with
a salvo of hearty hnndclnpplng to fol-
low. And the old parents, shrinking
back Into their sents, the observed of
every eye, saw that Lucy bad seen
them.
They sat still in their seats, bewil-
dered and dazed, long after the curtain
hod fallen and the theater had begun
to empty. An usher came toward
them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Mullins?" he Inquired
blandly, casting curious glances at the
old couple. "Miss Margaret Lake
would like to see you In her dressing
room. Will you step this way. pleateT"
Their daughter whs waiting. She
was attired In her street gown, and ahe
had carefully washed every trnce of
paint from her face.
As the old couple hailed, rather
sheepishly, at the door, Lucy ran to-
ward them, and wos clnspeil In their
arms.
"Father!" she cried. "So you have
found me out! And mother, too!
Why didn't you let me know, and I
would have had a box for you!"
"By gum, Lucy, what would we do
with a box?" ejaculated her fattier.
"Why, Lucy, we wanted to be some-
where where we could see you. We
couldn't have seen you In a box, Lucy.
The way you did up thnt Drylocks fel-
low was scrumptious. Some derned
old tabby told us you were on the
stage, and we come down here to save
you from ruin—but I guess we dont
mind now as much as we did do we,
mother?"
And tl#i Lucy Insisted nt\ Introduc-
ing them to her friends—to Mr. Oros-
venor, the "star" and to various sub-
ordinate members of the company. Al-
together It was a night of surprises
for the old per ple.
But, as they went out together,
Lucy made an excuse to run back for
something, and she caught Mr. Oroa-
venor by the arm.
"I wlab we had told rhem every-
thing!" she whispered -"Shall I
Phillip?" •
He nodded, and she went on.
"Did you ever m o^ to think, my
dear, It s Just oi l people like these—
old father* aud mothers In faraway
villages— that tna'i* Die stage as good
as It la today, and keep so ninny of us

-COMPARE YOURSELF
WITH JESUS"
We often hear the expression
in devotional meetings such as,
"I love Jesus and expect to
meet him by-and-by," and "I
can stand up for Jesus, etc.
Of course, none can compare
themselves with Jesus in good-
ness ' and purity. However,
let's see if our garments will
be suitable for the wedding
least. Are you J pure and un-
selfish? Jesus was.
Do you constantly hunt
some poor sick, afflicted, down
cast brother? Jesus did.
Do you strive to help where
help is needed, or do you hy-
pocritically serve your super*
iors? Which would Jesus have
helped ? *
Are you "stuck up" and
think you are the whole show?
Jesus was very humble and
lowly.
Do you quarrel, lie, swear,
goss p, backbite, slander, drink,
use your power and .Voney to
oppress those more unfortun-
ate than yourself? Do you
hate, dislike, despise or think
yourself better than any of
Clod's creation? Jeteiis didn't
do any of those things or any-
thing else that did not bear the
stamp of purity.
And if we do any of these
things (and we do) we are not
Christians; we are a pack of
o' Is. In fact, we would be just
one minute from nell if our
heart should stop beating;
just one minute we v.ould be in
hell. M. B. Steed.
