DECEIVED AND DESERTED
A Young Married Woman Per-
suaded to Leave Home.

Two or three weeks ago this paper
contained an account of Mrs. Dick
Wear desertion of her home and
husband in Dallas to go with a
stranger. The twain came here
from Dallas and after spending one
night in the city departed for the
country. Wear came to Waxa-
hrchie in search of his wife but
when he reached here she and her
paramour had gone. Yesterday be
found her, but the officers have not
yet found her paramour. However,
they are confident of his apprehen-
sion and will continue their search
for him until he is landed behind
the bars.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wear met here yes
terday, The story she told was one
of deception and desertion. She
{ claims that the man with whom she
left home made her all sorts of glow
ing promises, none of which he kept
After wandering aimlessly around
the country for two or three weeks
he tired of her and took her to the
home of her father in the southern
part of the county and gave her the
shake" She sent her husband
word that she had repented bitterly
of her act and was ready to return
home and make him better wife
than ever. When he receivedlher let
ter the love of former days swelled
up in his bosom and he was ready
to forgive and forget. According to
appointment they met here yester-
day and returned to Dallas last

The Correct Version.

A few days ago Alderman w, j
McDuffie made a business trip to
the eastern part of the county. He
came home by way of Ennis and
while in that city stated To the re-
porter of the Daily News that he
saw cotton in the Trinity river bot
tom that would make two bales TO
the acre. Mr.. Baldridge heard of
the statement and said be supposed
Mr.. McDutfie was judging only by
the size of the stalk. Mr.. McDuffie
met the Light reporter this morn
ing and gave him a correct version
of the matter, He says that while
in the river bottom he saw a field of
twelve acres on VIII Embry's place
from which six bales had been
picked and sold. The day that he
visited the field the piekers finished
the sixth bale of the second picking.
So it will be seen that one bales per
acre has been gathered off this field
10y the first and second pickings, and
Mr.. McDuffie said there were at
least enough squares and small
bolls on the stalk to make another
half bale per acre, provided they
have time TO mature before the frost
comes.

Harvest Festival.

To feed the hungry, 10 shelter the
roofless, to seek out the abandoned, 4,
10 strengthen the tempted, to uplift
the fallen~-in word, TO Tighten the
dark places of the world, that is the
mission of the Salvation Army a
mission that like all others demands
both workers and money. T h c
workers are not lacking, though all
too few, but the money, the outside
help, the material assistance so
necessary these can only be de-
rived by ceaseless efforts.
So is it that the Army appeals to
the public at this particular season
by its Harvest Festival. In a com
munity where this organization is
so we'll known it Is not necessary to
add To the pleas already put forth
by those in charge of the organiza-
tion itself and it's noble work; we
are glad to feel aud believe that to
call the popular attention to it will
be quite enough Dates September

Social Surprise.

Fort Worth society received a
genuine surprise last Tuesday in
the marriage of its two popular
members, Mr.. Bert A. Rose, teller
of the American National bank, and
Miss Dorothea Katharine Weaver,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank M.
Weaver OF Hemphill street. This
was the grand finale of a romantic
courtship which has existed several
years.
Monday night Mrs. and Miss
Weaver left town en- route for Bos-
ton, where Miss Weaver expected
to take two years course in the
New England Conservatory Of
Music. Mr.. Rose was also minded
to journey in the same direction at
the same time. When Wellington,
Kan, was reached, the young peo
pie had decided to turn tie trip into
a limited honeymoon, and obtaining
Mrs. Weaver's consent, were united
in marriage at the station, while
| the train waited, by the probate
Judge, who met them in response to
kilograms sent ahead. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rose then bade each other adieu,
she proceeded with her mother on
! their way, and he returned to Fort
I Worth. IL was intended to keep
| the affair secret until Mrs. Roses
school days were over, but good
as well as bad news travels fast,
and Mr.. Rose is now the recipient
of showers of congratulations and
good wishes. Fort Worth Register.
Miss Weaver is sister to Mr.. J..
T.. Weaver, manager of the Plan
! ters OIL Mill, and visited in Waxa-
/ hachie frequently during the last
social season. The above announce
nent of her marriage will be re-
ceived by her friends here with sur

/ FORGER IN THE TOLLS
Signature OF Ennis Business Man
Affixed TO Checks.

Last July year ago the sigma
ture of Mr.. j. T. Lane, an Ennis
merchant, was affixed to a number
of bank checks without his knowl-
edge or consent. An investigation
developed the fact that the forgeries
were committed by ]. Isaacs, a clerk
in the store. 1t is alleged that after
business hours one day and after
all the other clerks had left the
store Isaacs drew four checks In
favor of himself and signed Mr..
Lane's name to them.
The checks were for small amounts
! and the money was obtained on them
without any suspicion as to their
genuineness. The checks were
cashed by saloon men of the town
and when they were presented at
the bank the next day II was discov-
cred that the signature to them was
IA forgery. In the mean time Isaacs
had disappeared and for several
months the officers lost all trace of
him. At the first meeting of the
grand jury after the forgery was
committed Isaacs was indicted. A
few days ago the officers obtained
the information that the fugitive
was at Lawton, Ok. Acting on the
information in his possession
Sheriff Sweat dispatched Deputy
Joe Minnick 90 Lawton last Friday
| with a warrant for Isaacs' arrest.
| Afr. Minnick reached there Satur-
day and one of the first men he met
| on the street was the man be was
Hooking for. The arrest was made
without any resistance and last night
Mr. Minuick reached Waxahaehie
with his man and incarcerated him
in the county Jail.

overlooked two or three bills in the

The boys reported having fairly
good luck in catching fish. One of
them brought home a bass which

men who exaggerate the extent of thei

Surprise and pain our bosoms rack,
And mortified we feel,
'Tis time to stand upon our rights,

The tales we tell know it we'll
Want pruning now and then,
But say, are we, and only we,
Imagination men?
Is Jones to boast of drives at golf
That Travelled out of sight?
Is Smith to pirate of how he shot
Those woodcock left and right?
Shall Browns excited fancy play
Upon his infant son,
And all the marvels he performed
Although his age is one?
And shall there be no check for Brown
No tax on Jones' myths?
And shall our legislators pass
Unmoved those yarns of Smiths?
Shall such as these say what the!
please,
While we must stand a fine?
Not only those who throw it should
Be taught to draw the line.

YOKED AND Plated SKIRTS.


A simpler skirt than the side plated
model, says an exchange, is the box
plated one, which couturieres of the
conservative class are using. While
this garment is also plated, the up
per part is shaped to the figure by
means of much stitching or narrow
bands of strapping. This type is es-
pecially comfortable for pedestrians,
for it may be held up without much
inconvenience.
The skirt with tucked yoke is one
of the most difficult for the home
dressmaker to design. A modification,
the skirt with fancifufly shaped yoke
relieved by rows of tucks or plaits, is
scarcely less complicated, for it must be
remembered that the cloth which forms
three-quarters Of the lower part of
the garment must be as smooth and
shapely as though no such things as
tucks existed.
They are showing a remarkable
model of this style in one of the shops.
The yoke is sloped from the back to
the front, each division being outlined
with small buttons below the yoke;
narrow tucks are arranged at intervals
of a couple of inches.
The partially plated partially yolked
Sklrt is ranked among the seasons
novelties. Many are the unique effects
resulting from the combination. The
so-called apron skirt is merely form
of this garment, one of the most strik-
ing, but not one of the most COM
plicated, of fall fashions. For instance,
brown dress has a deep, shkathlike
application of cloth which reaches he
low the hips and in front is carried
to the edge of the skirt, forming the
plain panel or apron. The plaits are
tackled underneath the apron, and they
fall in flowing lines to the ground.
The panel is decorated with fine braid
in place of the stitching, which has
been so long in vogue. Braids are to
be very popular this season if we may
accept the word of the couturieres on
this point. Cut out embroidries and
similar devices for identifying cloth
garments have at last been dispensed
with and we are said to be on the
threshold of an era of simplicity To
partially satisfy us for the loss of our
ornate draperies and educate us Slow
ly into a love for ultra, simplicity
braids of all kinds are to be used for
a season at least. Skirts are necessari-
ly plain on the hips to accommodate
the basqued coat, which we are com
PEELED to accept whether we will or
no.
