JUDGE LEE HAWKINS LETTER.

In a recent issue of the LIGHT APP
peared letter from County Judge
Hawkins, and each and every tax
payer in Ellis county should read 1t
carefully and seriously consider its
contents and suggestions. Every
taxpayer, whether he or she be a
large or small one, is or should be
interested in the welfare of the
county at large. Judge Hawkins,
at considerable expense of time and
money to himself, has this winter,
while our citizens were tOiling
through mud from one to three feet
deep, visited every county in Texas
where they are building macadam
roads and has mingled freely with
the county commissioners and coun-
" judges of Harris, Dallas and Tar
rant counties. In.each of the above
named counties more than one hun
dred miles have been built in the
last two years, and after full and
thorough investigation of the
cost of macadam roads and the
deplorable condition of Ellis cOun-
ty's roads at the present he recon-
mends or suggests that We vote a
tax of ten cents with which, for the
present, to repair culverts and
bridges and also to hasten the work
of regarding and ditching the roads
which are left in such bad condition
from the present wet spell. Good
roads of any kind cannot be built
without money and to raise this
money each citizen must bear his
tax alike, and while this paper wants
to eventually see Ellis county CIT
liens enjoy as good roads as any other
county in the state, heartily endors-
ss Judge Hawkins suggestions OF a
ten-cent tax with which to relieve
the present conditions. We would
suggest that the citizens of the diff
ferent communities at Oncs begin
circulating petition as outlined by
the Judge in his article. If we do
not move in this matter at the May
term of the commissioners court
the funds cannot be used before an
other winter sets in, and it is horri-
BILE TO think of another winter on
this county and nothing done toward
repairing the great damage done by
the continued rains of the past win

rather sharman,s Joke.

The Rev Thomas E. Sherman, S. j..
of Chicago, is popular priest, not only
because of his personality, but also
on account of his distinguished par
entage, being the son of "Old Tecum-
seh.' >--.
His study is easy of access, as Faith
er Sherman keeps open house. ready
to serve and succor. Deep in his stud
les he was interrupted one evening by
a seedy individual. whose soiled gar
ments, offensive breath and general
dilapidation soon filled the room with
disagreeable ordor. BY degrees the man
directed his conversation to the inevi-
table plea: "A few pennies for
nights lodging
In his peroration the vagrant wished
to know if he had the honor of stand
ing in the presence of the famous gen.
erals son. He was answered in the
affirmative. Then, assuming an air of
familiarity with Civil war history, the
caller expressed a rgret that he had
not been privileged to join in that glor-
ious march to the sea.
II myself would not have regretted
it had you joined the general In that
famous journey to the sea- said Faith
er Sherman, enthusiastically.
You wouldn't eh?'' asked the man,
somewhat abashed. why not?'
II am sure the general would have
left you there" remarked the priest,
significantly, as he opened the windows
and dismissed the would bepatriot with

The Convict,s Friend.

Zone day a man applied to Emile
de Girardin for a position as the au-
thor's valet. He was tall, well-built
and vigorous looking: his intelligent
face and. air of frankness spoke for
themselves.
I" Your certificates?' said Girardin
:. I haven't any,
" Have you ever served as valet be-
fore?'
'' Yes, but twas long time ago.
Since then I've spent five years in the
galleys at Toulon.'
Turning on him his steel-like glance
Girardin looked the fellow through and
through.

Journalist knew him welD was for
twenty years an exemplary domestic,
and even became Emile de Girardin's
confidential man.
The foregoing narrative was told by
M. Houssaye apropos of the Rigot
prize of 1900 fanes awarded to the
Abbe Wilton for his work among liber-
ated criminals. Fifty years ago or
thereabouts the Able was chaplain of
the prisons. Full of pity for the con-
victs, he did everything in his power
to effect their moral regeneration by
awakening their conscience, their re-
pentance, their desire for good He
succeeded sometimes, but recognized
with anguish the frightful distress in
to which those whose conversion he
had begun were sure to fall once they
became free again. Without food or
lodging. without an opportunity of
working (for the prison brand de-
barred them), they were exposed-pre-
destined, in fact-to relapse into crime.
To found a refuge for these liberated
prisoners became the one object of
Able Wilton. He was the first to work
in that field of philanthropy, and his
project encountered thousand OBJ
stacles. He was treated as dreamer.
Finally, in 1854, he was able to omen
ST. Leonard's asylum at Couzon. -Four
years later his work was recognized
as of public utility, and since then the
refuge has received about fifty ex-con-
yicts a year
An interesting incident in the his
tory of this institution is that in 1870
it was suddenly vacated. The Abbe
and his proteges were off to the wars
