though they lad good instructors

Prof. Chapman is not only use
ful In the public schools, but he l.
a most excellent Sunday School
worker and an important factor in
Improving the morals Of the com
munity. This winter is the first
in the history Of Denton that the
Sunday School has been perpetu
ated through the entire winter,
and we believe il is largely due TO
his efforts that tho Sunday School
has been maintained. His daily

TO be an exemplary young man in

The Increase OF Homes.

One of the best possible facts in the
latter-day progress Of this country Is
the increase in the number Of homes.
In crowded centers Of population, such
as New York, and one or two other
cities, the fiat and the hotel must al
ways be necessary, for space Is too val
liable to be monopolized by the humble.
But even around the very large cities
there are being built thousands
and thousands CT suburban cot
tages and country residences, and
all through the length and breadth
of the country, in the towns,
villages and cities artistic homes are in
creasing at an astonishing rate. II any
one will take the trouble to look up
the literature on the subject he will
find that in this country there are more
than hundred papers devoted to these
home builders, giving them each week
plans and suggestions. The number of
books upon low-priced architecture,
written in the past fifteen years, ex-
ceeds the total for century previous.
A wider education Is being spread, and
the gain in every way is enormous.
A man who owns his home Is bet
ter citizen, even If there is a mortgage
ON it. There is a feeling of personal
partnership in the protection Of proper
ty and the preservation Of public order
which makes him stand for what Ia
best in law and government. 1t ia
the best possible thing for his wife and
children; best for him and best for the
country.

Take Drink, Arrested and Fined.
Northern men were scarce in Texas
In 1879" said the Chicago man, who
was afterward n Texas ranger, "and
not particularly well liked by the ma
tive Texans as they called themselves.
When l left Chicago for Texas l had
provided myself with formidable
weapon in the form of 22-calibre re-
-volver, and had no doubt that | would
be able to cope with the most blood
thirsty adversaries. Arriving at my
destination, | soon began to form ac-
quaintances among the citizens of the
city in which | had taken UP my tenn
porary residence.
"Strolling into the palatial saloon
known as the Glass Front one evening
soon after-my arrival, l met number
of cowboys and deputy sheriffs, and
the conversation drifted to the subject
of guns, as shooting weapons are call
ed in Texas BY the way, in Texas at
the time | speak of the only persons
legally entitled to carry weapons were
Sheriffs, Marshals and their deputies,
and rangers, and every bad man who
wanted to shoot somebody would gen.
orally have influence enough to get ap-
pointed as a deputy of some kind or
other. The most reputable portion of
the population was therefore debarred
from carrying weapons, and were
therefore at the mercy of any licensed
thug. AS l said before, the subject of
conversation was guns, and with con-
siderable pride displayed my silver
mounted and ivory-handled pistol and
asked for an opinion as to its merits.
The gun was passed from hand to
hand, each grizzled deputy looking at
it with the greatest curiosity.
"What do you call that?' my son,
asked a bewhiskered ruffian at the ex-
treme end of the bar.
"That is a revolver, my friend" /
answered, "and one of the best makes
in the country"
"But what do you do with it?" he
then asked.
81 have never used it, sir" 1 answer
ed but if necessary l have no doubt
1 could defend myself and do some
little execution"
"I'll tell you what, my lad" said the
representative of the law, "Ill stand
up here and let you shoot at me all
night for four bits shot"
81 have no cause to shoot at you,"
said |, "and do not care to get in any
trouble" /"
You needn't be afraid, young fell
ler," said the deputy; mo popgun
like that is ever going to hurt me"
Give me back my revolver" said I,
"and l will 60"
81 think I'll try it, anyway" said the
desperate, and taking deliberate aim
at me, he shot me through the arm
with my own pistol. l fell against the
bar, pale and terrified. Then the
whole gang began to laugh. One of
them bound up my arm with a hand
kerchief, and they insisted that l
drink with them. AS soon as 1 could
escape from my tormentors l hastened
back to the hotel and summoned a
doctor. lie pronounced my injury
only slight flesh wound. The next
lay I was arrested by the deputy who
had shot me, brought before magis-
trate, and fined $50 and costs for car
rying Eeapon."
