BY his Brother.

Two boys.
An unloaded gun.
A funeral.
Such in brief is the story of a fright

one mile south OF Ovilla and 10 one of
the representative citizens, not only
of that community, but of Ellis coun-
ty. He has q most estimabie family,
and among the children were two
sons, Sidney and Jinks, aged respect
lively fourteen and twelve years. Sat
urdsy afternoon the two boys went
hunting, carrying with them double
barreled shot gun. They returned
home late ia the evening and after re
moving the loaded shells from the
gun took it in the house and put II
away. While playing in the yard the
younger one saw rabbit hop through
the yard fence at the rear OF the
house. he took the gun out, shot the
rabbit and returned 10 the front gaF
lery. Here he was joined by niB
brother, Sidney, aud ii hirsa man,
whose name We failed TO learn. They
spent some time talking and seufilng
as boys are accustomed to do after IA
long Gays work is done. Sidney,
thinking the gun was empty, picked
1t up and drew 1t on the hired man,
saying, j1st for fun, be believed be

remarked that there was no danger
OF hin shooting any one. He then

ABB JONES INDICTED.
Was Loaded With Jail Saws and is New
In TroubIe.

Alb Joues has penitentiary term
staring him In the face.
1t all came about through Abs gen.
erous disposition. He had some
friends in the county Jail that he
thought ought to have been liberated
without due process of the law In
fact Alb had spent few days ia the
bastile himself and while thus re-
strained of his liberty the plot to
break jail was originated. By some
means wholly unknown TO the officers,
Alb came into possession of half a doz-
en- fine steel saws TO be used in sever
ing Jail bars. Before they were i'm
pressed into service the plot was dis
covered and the saws were found on
Abs person. He was forthwith
locked up in az isolated cell and atthe
last term Of the grand jury he was in
dicted. The offense is a very grave
one and instead of saving Jail bars
Mr.. Jones will doubtless be put to
saving wood ia one Of the peniten-
tiaries-
Jones is the man who Was arrested
al Mexia last fall on tns charge OF
swindling a young fellow out Of bis
money at tho Central depot one
morning while waiting for train.
The old Rnifs game was used to di-
yorce the aforesaid Young man from
his roll. The matter was reported to
the officers aud in tew days the ar
rest followed. He was brought mere
aud jailed. After remaining ia Jail a
few days ne suece eded in making
bond through the fundamentally OF
Mexia friends, Later he plead guilty
In the county court 10 the charge
against him, was fined and given a
Jail sentence. IL was when he was
returned TO jail to serve out his SEN
tence that the saws were found in his
shoe.
THIS is not the first time that an at
temp has been made by prisoners to
escape from the Ellis county jail, but
by the vigilance OF our official jailer,
Tom Jennings, and Sheriff Sweat,
their plans have been frustrated.

Now. as the gospel suwer who casts
his bread upon the waters shall reap
such glorious harvcsts. shall we not
rcdouble our energies ana plant as
many good seeds as we can for CHRISTI
Shall we not do as much good as we
can In the few years that remain for
usf Shall we not thank God that be
has given to US an opportunity to
work and to live for him? Shall we
not find our joy and reward in sowing
and in scattering our gospel seed over
the field of sin, in scattering our good
deeds over the great troubled sea OF
humanity?
To show what rewards can come
from casting the seeds abroad the stO-
~ is told that in the far east a father
lay dying. lie called to his bedside
his five boys and told them that he had
nothing to leave them but his farm.
but that In the fields OF that farm was
buried very rich treasure, and if they
wanted to become rich they should 20
and dig the fields until they found it.
So after the father was buried the five
boys took their spades and picks and
Plows and went to work. They dug
the fields up far and near; they dug
them very deep; they dug them over
and over again, but they could not find
the treasure. AS they had dug the
fields so deep the boys decided TO plant
them. Then. when the harvests came
and were gathered and sold and the
money filled the family treasury, the
boys began to think They said to
themselves. Perhaps, after all tho
rich treasure which our father had
promised us has been dug up by our
spades and plOws." Their treasure
came not in the gold quarricd from
dark mine, but in the minted gold Of a
wheat sheaf So Christ. like the dying
tather bids us find our gospel treaS-
ureS by casting the good seed into the
ground, by scattering it upon the sea
OF sinful humanity. Then we shall
reap the golden harvests which shall
be earnered in the grunarics Of heaven.
Would that we all might be willing
to 90 forth to this gospel plantingl
Would that we all might get our hearts
in touch with Christ. so that we might
! consecrate our lives for the mighty
work of spreading the gospel and for
gathering in a harvest of never dying
souls! This is no idle hope l offer to
you. The sacred word emphaticaIly
says that IL any Christian sOwer goeth
forth bearing precious seed he shall
come again with rejoicing. bringing
his sheayes with him at the earthly
and heavenly harvest home.
