The Brinkley argus., 1907-04-26

had known what real treat was in
 store for me could have swelled OUT
 crowd: just have another in June and
 see what we do. 1 tell my darling
 she can play that classical music for
 scholarly musicians but for Mother please play. Home Sweet Home;
 Annie Laurie; Last Rose of Summer and others of the kind when she wants to play on the harp strings of my heart.
 When Gertrude played at her own I recitals in Dallas the chambermaids. bell-boys, clerks, manager and all went if possible and the hackman that stood at door asked the privilege of driving her to the hall free of charge because it was pr. Bates little girl, and she is pleasing child anyway.
 The Brinkley Industrial League may some day invite Us down to play a benefit for them. So our dear friends may see the apple of pr. Bate s eye that is, if the B 1. L. or some other organization would like to have 2 benefit engagement. I have ses:l two drunken males within the past few weeks and my heart was touched when a loving. merciful hand stepped forward and aided them to the side walk out of danger. In great city like Chicago one scarcely expects to find any tenderness. God never creat- ed dspraved filthy app petite. All God made was good, so it must be a devil and the devilsh thought takes a broad way all the street, road, or side walk. In this section where we reside they will not permit saloon, Gertrude looked at the intricate ponderous doors opening into the vault of big bank yesterday and looking sad 1 asked what is it dear. She said think how sorrowful that such things must be made to protect the rewards of in4 dustry. How nice if any sort of pos sessions could beleft unmolested in our homes without lock and key" Yes, l told her, it will come when we realize there is no pleasure in sin. Our tongues are the worst of all thieves when we turn them loose to speak evil
 At 4:3O PM. yesterday there was quite a commotion at the fine Art Building. Fire broke out in build ing back of 1t on Wabash. Not with standing the fact that the water poured from the caves of the Fine Art Bldg. in sheet, like Niagra Falls. the firemen smashed i'm nea5s w.aio WIS l on floor above floor until if was wicked and even rushed to the front on i Michigan Ave. to do the same there but the parties who were in theil studios said mo" l noticed useless breaking of glass at the corner from us last Sunday night. Some Of them seem to do it like child, just tc i hear it break.
 i was interested in the description of a business man in Bfinkley who was good proyider but was nayar, or seldom seen With his family. laugh ed heartily because it was so like my own experience of forty years. Dear | Doctor Bates seemed to think was too good for mosquito to light on before marriage. but afterwards, an elephants load was nothing. In their way such men love their wives but ex- cuse me from that way. Any of the boys or girls were welcome to take me or could stasger about as best could so he was not troubled 10 dance attendance. Men would get much more polish of manner and there would be less divorces if husband and wife were more united in going to-
 pether. Over and over in selling tickets to friends heard. My hus- band will net go cut in the evening and 1 cant DO alone or do not like 10
