A Pleasant Social Event.

Last evening the Benevolent Order
of Elks gave a social session in
their elegant club room over the
Citizens National Bank. Members of
this organization are noted for their
pleasant entertainments and this
event was no exception to the rule.
The hall with its brilliant electric
lights never presented a more at
tractive appearance than it did last
evening when it was filled With
Waxahachie's fairest danes aud
maidens and lordly Elks-though
the Elks all seemed to be tame ones
not one of them had horns and
every one of them tried to outdo the
other fellow in making their guests
have good time. Alfred Mackin
presided at the piano and entertain
ed the crowd with several excellent
numbers. Miss Fleta Hawkins ex-
eeuted a violin solo and vocal solos
were rendered by Miss Lucy Cald-
well of Ennis, Mr.. Wilson of Dallas
and Mr.. Miller Of this city. Miss
Cameron Boone was piano ac-
companist. Several tables were
set for finch and this interesting
game was freely INDUCED in. At II
O'Clock two course luncheon was
served. At y O'Clock quite a num-
Der of the young people repaired to
the armory where for an hour or
more they participated in the may
waltz and fascinating two-step.

SCHOOL WORK EXHIBITION
Showing the Character OF Work
Done in the Public Schools.

The exercises at the Park Public
schools this morning closed the
work of the present session. Quite
number Of the patrons and friends
of the schools were in attendance,
viewing the work of the pupils from
the first grade to the high school.
To say that the visitors were well
pleased with what they saw and the
class Of work done is to give the
mildest expression to the praise
which was heard on every hand and
from every lip. The public schools
Of Waxahachie are certainly the
equal of any in the state in point Of
accomplishments. The work exhib-
tied showed careful instruction on
the part Of the teachers and sue
cessful importation to the pupil.
Especially remarkable is the draw
ings of the pupils. Drawings from
nature, from still life and in illus
tration of some story or poem were
exhibited in all the lower grades
and elected praise from every one.
The teachers of the school are to be
congratulated on the results OF their
labors. Few people, doubtless, re-
alize the worries, hard work and
burdens resting upon teachers in
the primary grades. Let the mother
of three or four children ponder for
a minute upon the manifold duties
that are hers in the rearing and
training OF her flock; of the worries
and vexations that come every
hour of the day, and then place her
self in the position of the teacher
VINO must control, train, teach and
direct forty or fifty little ones for
six or seven hours each day, and
you begin to get glimpse of what
it requires to be a successful teach
er. All honor to the young women
who direct the little ones from the
homes Of Waxahachie. They are
worthy Of our praise and we owe
them our sympathy and encourage
ment.
One fact bears itself in upon the
visitor To the schools, and that it is
the woeful lack of room When
this is considered; when you see the
crowded condition of every room;
some 50 closely filed with children
as To be actually unhealthfuI, it be
comes even more remarkable
that the pupils have accomplished
So much. IL there be a citizen of
the city who is not convinced of the
absolute need for a new building, or
who feels indisposed to assume the
additional burden Of bonds to erect
such building, be could have con-
vinced himself on both points by
visiting the schools any time during
the present session. WaxahachIe
has too long delayed discharging

MRS. ANNIE BOYD IS DEAD
Young Vile and Mother Claimed
by Death.

There is something inexpressibly
sad in death, but when the victim of
the relentless reaper Is the idolized
young wife and mother, the fond
and loving daughter of devoted pa
rents whose lives have been bright
ened and blessed by her presence
and love, the blow is doubly sad;
the burden doubly heavy.
AT the home of her parents In
West End last night, Mrs. John
Martin Boyd, nee Miss Annie Eloiss
Phersou, paid the last great debt
Of nature and passed peacefully INTO
the presence of the Savior whom
she had trusted and worshipped
from childhood. Mrs Boyd was
born in Burksyille, Ky, December
q, 1877. One year later her parents
removed with her to Waxahachie,
and it was here she grew to woman
hood ana formed the associations
and friendships of youth which are
now broken by the hand of death.
She was educated in the public and
private schools of this city. Later
she was a pupil in Carlton College,
Bonham, and after finishing there
took course In the New England
Conservatory of Music, Boston.
Returning from Boston she taught
music for a time IN Carlton College.
At the age of fourteen she proiessed
faith in Christ and was baptized by
her father, uniting with the Main
Street Christian church of this city.
April %, 1902, she was married to
Mr.. J. NJ. Boyd, of Cleburne, a
member Of the Cleburne Furniture
Co, and prominent citizen of that
city. Her married life has been of
the happiest, and her devotion to
her husband and his welfare was
characteristic of the woman. On
April Is of this year pretty girl
baby was born to them at Bro. Nc
Pherson's home in this city. After
the birth Of the baby typhoid fever
set up which was complicated by
the development 81 tuberculosis
Until a week ago her family and
friends entertained strong hopes
for her recovery, but since that time
her decline has been rapid until the
end, which came at @ O'Clock last
night.
Mrs Boyd was one Of the sweet
est christian characters it has ever
been our privilege to know. Kind,
loving and tender 20 ali, jealous
worker ia every good cause, devoted
To her father, mother, brother and
husband; she was indeed daughter
of whom any father and mother
could be proud. Her sweet influence
went out To all with whom she came
in contact aud it can truthfully be
said that her life has been bless
ing and benediction.
The funeral will occur tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock from the
Main Street Christian church. The
services will be conducted by Mr..
NJ. NJ. Davis, pastor OF Central
Christian church, Dallas. Inter
ment at the City Cemetery. The
Light joins the hundreds Of friends
OF the stricken family in this city
aud throughout the state in express
sious of sympathy and coincidence.
May the merciful Father in whom
she trusted and believed be TO them
a rock of refuge in the hour of their
great trial.

Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier to prevent
than to cure. 1t has been fully de-
monstrated that pneumonia, one of the
most dangerous diseases that medical
men have to contend with, can be pre-
vented by the use OF Chamberlaiu's
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza (grlp). and it has been obser-
we'd that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases towards
pneumonia. This has been fully prov
en- in many thousands of cases in which
this remedy has been used during the
great prevalence of colds and grip in
recent years, and can be relied upon
with implicit confidence. Pneumonia
often results from a slight cold when
no danger is apprehended until it is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever and
difficulty in breathing and pains in the
chest, then it is announced that the pa
tent has pneumonia. BE on the safe
side and take Cham berlains Cough Re
medy as soon as the cold is contracted.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty of
pork, " was the advice to the
consumptiye 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott observation-disclosures
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachS.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some

phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
