Preparations Being Made for Grand Old
Time the Latter Part Of the Month.
The STATESMAN learns from Mr.. R.
W. Finley, chairman of the finance
committee of the Grand Lodge
knights of Honor, that extensive
preparations are being made to make
Thursday, October "a, grand day in
Dallas for the Knights of Honor. At
the last session of the Grand Lodge
(held in Paris) a resolution was adopt
ed requesting the Dallas State Fair
association to designate day during
their expositions to be known as
"Knights of Honor day." October "a
is the day that has been fixed. This
will be a big day in Dallas for the
Knights.
A large attendance is expected, rep
resenting every section of the state
The programme is being arranged by
the grand dictator, grand reporter and
the local Knights of Dallas, which is
a sufficient guarantee that it will be a
very interesting and enjoyable occa-
sion.
Austin has four large lodges and
will, no doubt, be well represented on
that occasion.

Much More Valuable,

Ell Paso Tribune: 1t is known fact
that large force of men are now at
work in Coyocan, south Of the City Of
Mexico, digging for the treasure sup
posed to have been hidden by Mon
tezuma. They are confident of sue
cess and have already discovered a
number of Aztec tools. What Ell
Paso wants is for somebody to come
here and find arsesian water. Has
the city council forgotten that inn
portant matter already? The tax
payers and property owners have not.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.

The following is the ruling of SUI
perintendent Cooper on sectarian
schools, and it is clear cut and easily
comprehended:
Pupils are under the jurisdiction of
teachers from the time when they reach
the school in the morning until they
return home after dismission. Sec
tartan instruction given to pupils dur
Jag this time is given under the juris-
diction of the teacher and makes the
school sectarian. No part of the pub
lie school fund can be applied to the
support of such schools without vio-
lation of the constitution and law of
this state"
The view that the jurisdiction OF the
school authorities is limited to the
statutory school hours is narrow and
without regard to the spirit of the law
and the best interest of common
schools. T. IA Ia.
The pupils of the school are under
the authority of the teachers while in
school and while going to and from
ScnOOl. hy.
School teachers and trustees cease
to have control over pupils when they
reach home after dismissal On the
road they have control. II Ind,
10 Mo-.
The necessity of insisting that sec
tartan instruction shall not be given
in public schools while the pupils are
under the jurisdiction of the teachers
under the penalty of forfeiture of the
school fund arises from persistent and
ingenious efforts on the part of Ger
tain sectarian interests to evade the
law. In certain school community,
for example, the children are assembled
at the school house about half an hour
before the time fixed for opening the
school, formed in line by the teachers
and marched to building near by
and taught daily the peculiar tenets
of a religious sect. The children are
then marched back to the school
house and given the seven hours of
"secular instruction" with the usual
intermission. After the close of the
seven hours, they are again marched
to the building near by and the sec
tartan instruction repeated. Under
the ruling quoted above, this school
is held by the trustees and county
judge to be sectarian and their decis-
ion is affirmed by the state superin-
tendent

his story was that he had found in
his raWbles the skeleton of small
child wrapped in an old quilt, and as
he slowly related it his eyes grew big
ger and his hair assumed rigid, up
ward position. Detective Chenneville
didn't place much faith in the story,
but concluded to investigate, and
started to the locality, when he met a
gentleman to whom the boy had re-
vealed his Find" and who had made
an examination and found the bones
OF dog among lot of old rags.

Glowing Account of the Cotton Crop-A
Road Episode.

Hon. Felix Smith was in from his planta-
ton yesterday, and was met by STATES
MAN reporter.
How are the crops?" asked the newspa-
per man.
splendid, sir All we can desire. Plenty
of corn and cotton is turning out WELL
Some of the farmers are making a bale to
the acre, and the general yield will be from
half to bale. | am busy ginning. By
the way, | met DR.. Swearingen out about
five miles, going over to Haigler's gin to
amputate an arm of man who had it
sawed up in the gin. The doctor had lost
a bolt out of his shaft, and when | came up
the atmosphere was lurid and he was rather
energetically telling dismal looking young
doctor who was going out with him, that if
he had the man who made the
buggy convenient he would do some
heavy amputating work without going a
step further, | took bolt from my buggy
and fixed the doctor so he could proceed,
and the dismal young man revived, while
the doctor, profuse in his thanks, said if
ever wanted a leg or arm cut off he would
gladly and cbeertully do it, even if it killed
me. You can set it down that the cotton
crop is all right, the corn crop all right and
the farmers are all right.

HOW TO GET A HUSBAND.
The Bible Story Of Good Girl Who Loved
Her MOther.in.I.aM

Her Mother In. Law.
"Entreat me not to leave thee"
said Ruth to her mother-in-law, "nor
to refrain from following after thee.
For where thou goest | will go, and
where thou diest l will die, and there
shall l be buried. Thy people shall
be my people and thy God my God"
Ruth was the beau ideal of good,
sensible, handwriting girl. She loved
her mother-in-law and stuck right by
her, and when it was necessary she
hustled out into the field and worked
for living. Naomi's other daughter
in-law went back to her people, but
Ruth wouldn't go back. That was the
kind of girl to please God.
God loved stickers but he didn't
have any use for shippers.
By and by along came Boaz and
married Ruth. She was the kind of
a girl men look for. If there were
more girls like Ruth there'd be fewer
old maids and unhappy wives.
"Be like Ruth and God'll get you
a husband every time. He mayn't be
dude. He mayn't be white-faced
duck with blonde moustache. He
mayn't be sweet scented gum drop
that'll melt in drop of water. He
won't be limp dishrag without back
bone enough to stiffen a grasshopper.
But he'll be q man with good under
standings and pair of legs to walk
on.
"And when you get man, stick to
him. When Boaz asked Ruth to
marry him he didn't say, Can you
daunce? Do you play the pia-an-no?
Are youah instincts a-a-artisticp And
Ruth didn't ask him if he
could give her camel and span Of
elephants and a corner lot in
Jerusalem and dromedary and pair
of diamond earrings. He just saw Ruth
working in the field, and she saw that
he was a fine man, and they got mar
ried.
"Girls, when you are going to get
married look well into his stock, and
when you find man that loves God
and amt afraid to work, pin him.
"You won't have to flatten your
nose against the window pane watch
ing for MIN to come home nights. He
won't be skipping round dark streets
and alleys trying to mash other
women.
"Oh, these married men who go
around shopping after young girls and
other mems wives, running homes and
breaking up society. They'll burn for
it. They're more vile than serpents
and crawling things. They're no use
anywhere except in hell.
81 don't care how many enemies
you've got, if you are Gods child they
can't hurt you. If you've been bad
man before you've been Christian,
you can bet they'll throw it all up to
you, but their jibes will hit the helmet
OF salvation and glance off harmless lIf
there ever was a boy that wouldn't
have amounted to hill of beans I'd
been that boyif my father'd been rich
Honest boys who have poor fathers
ought to be thankful. If their fathers
had been rich they'd probably gone to
the devil. / wouldn't give cent for
a Christian who couldn't stand pound
ing. It's good for 'em-makes 'em
tender like beefsteak. If you strike
the devil you bet he'll hit back hard.
A little creek six inches deep will
make more noise than the wholeDetroit
river. That's the trouble with lots Of
Christians. They cry Lord Lord =
and 'Amenp but they haven't enough
religion to save mosquito"
