We give this month a splendid pic
ture Of this worthy and enthusiastic
Odd Fellow. He was made a member
of Waxahachie Lodge, No. 80, in
1894, was appointed Outside Guardian
the night he finished taking the de-
grees, and has held Office continuously
from that hour TO the present time.
He passed the chairs in 1896, and is
a past Chief Patriarch in the Encamp-
ment and a worthy member of Waxa-
hachie Rehekah Lodge. He has rep
resented his lodge and encampment
in the Grand Bodies Of the State. and
in the year 1900 he served as Grand
Conductor under Grand Master T. K.
Anderson. Bro. Spalding is a lead
ing member of the Waxahachie De-
gree staff, and no member of the
lodge takes more Interest in the
work. He is the senior member of
the firm of Spalding & Mccartney,
the leading furniture dealers of Waxa-
hachie, and as a citizen and bust

EXTRACTS FROM THE ROME
 GLADIATOR.

Rome is burning. The awful fire fiend has leapt upon us, and unless the gods intervene there will be nothing left tomorrow to mark the site of the greatest city in the world.
 Ye editor has been unable to collect the necessary facts owing to the great excitement prevailing but if the city is partially spared full particulars will be given next week. The sanctum of The Gladiator is heavily insured. and we are therefore reasonably sure that the destructive flames will spare us, though the present outlook is indeed gloomy.
 Terrible scenes are being enacted on every hand. V. O. P. Scotchibus. the genial proprietor of the Catiline buffet, has lost his all and is at this moment sitting on the doorstep of his ruined building clutching a bottle of Three Stan Hennessy and weeping bitterly AS we passed him a few moments ago we remarked, by way of comfort. "Mis- erere! Miserere," and took a small nip of the brandy tc cheer us up.
 Valiant work is being done by the Rome fire department and by the su- burban bucket brigade from West Ali bus hookus ladderino. The brave chief of the department is here. there and everywhere. cheering on the tired men and pausing now and then to save a child from a burning building.
 Among the buildings that have all ready been levelled to the ground may be mentioned the palatiai residence of Gen. Scipio, the apartment block owned by Marcus Superbus. the home of F. ha t,., gl owned by Caius Crowbarina.
 The only man in Rome tonight that seems happy and at east is Habeas Corpus, the undertaken. Flushed with wine. he is running about soliciting or ders from the relatives of the unfortu- nate deceased and pausing now and then to exclaim Rode ntina!" a slang expression synonymous with What tellt"
 Copies of this extra edition may be lad either at the office or on the streets, and a large sale is confident y expected.
 The magnificent library belonging to MT. Veni V. Wei has been entirely de- stroyed. Several volumes in this col lection cannot be duplicated at any cost.
 Mir. H. Haechoc, the pawnbroker. has been left destitute by the cruel flames. His whole stock of jewelry is in ruins, and the artistic set of gilt balls in the front of his establishment is a mass of melted, disfigured metal
 It is to he hoped that the flames will not reach the palace. where Nero is cuartered with his family. The fear less fireman who saved his mother-in- law this morning has been thrown to the lions.
 The office of our esteemed contem- porary is in ashes. Otherwise we might possibly have been scooped.

A Prisoner in Her own House.

Mrs. W. H. Layha, of 1901 Agnes Ave, Kansas City, Mo, has for sever al years been troubled with severe hoarseness and at times a hard cough, which she says, Would keep me in doors for days. I was prescribed for by physicians with no noticeable re- suits. A friend gave me part of a bot tie of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with instructions to closely follow the directions, and wish to state that af- ter the first day could notice a de- cided change for the better, and at this time, after using it for two weeks, l have no hesitation in saying I realize that I am entirely cured" This remedy is for sale by all druggists.
