children's Day at Golfers
Chapel.

JnapeE.
/ Golfers Chapel is situated three
miles south Of Waxahachie on the
road to Howard, and is surrounded
| by a magnificent country and Is
peopled by a progressive up-to-date
citizenship. A handsome church
building was erected there few
years since and now flourishing
church membership of sixty or
more worship there. The pride of
this community centers in its Sun
day school which also numbers six
~ members. 1t has been their GUS
tom since the organization of the
church to meet once a year in the
spring time and celebrate Children IS
Day and last Sunday was the day
appointed for this happy event.
Jumbo and myself had been kindly
invited to be and appear there on
that occasion to pull fried spring
chicken bones and make speeches.
We were both hungry, Of course, and
/ for a week previous 80 the meeting
when we met discussed nothing else
( bat this coming event. It is an old
/ saying and true one that "circum-
stances alter cases' and 50 il was
wiJu M. ON this occasion. Circum-
/ stances over which / could not pos
sIbly exercise control kept me and
my better-half away till after the
noon hour and till long after Jumbo
and the immense crowd there had
long since gotten away with the big
gest half Of the splendid dinner the
good people of that community
/ spread out before them ut the noon
/ hour and when We arrived at
> O'Clock Jumbo was up making his
speech and telling his audience how
that the night before neither he nor
his family slept WELL thinking of
the good time and good eating that
was now theirs and just "A short
ride ahead of them to possess it and
furthermore when he found out my
better-haH and myself Were on the
ground he at once proceeded to tan
tiIiZe us before all that big crowd
for having missed the good dinner
and a part of the pleasures of the
occasion. After he got through
with this he then whirled in and
made splendid Children's Day
Sunday school talk, and in that
speech | could see all the way
through it that good dinner was
tickling him and helped him to be
sparkling anu WHY,
The subject of the children's es-
says and recitations We're well Sc
lected and we'll delivered and toward
the close of the exercises, | was
called on by Mr.. W. b. Banks, who
so splendidly acted as master of
ceremonies for "A speech, and | did
the best | could for them under the .
circumstances, but the facts are /
had to take potluck for dinner
and did not have the spring chicken
and other goodies to stimulate me
as did Jumbo.
