The Sick chinaman.

Perhaps nowhere in the world is
family affection stronger than anon
the Chinese, yet their method Of deal.
Ing with the sick is pitlable to the
more enlightened world. When a ia.
yorite son falls Ill his life depends
largely upon package of Joss sticks.
The grieying father seeks a Joss house,
procures a handful of these sticks and.
taking them home, lights them. He
shakes them gently. Soon one falls.
Is it-lighted? Eagerly the father
watches It. VIII 1t burn TO the end
or 90 ont? If 1t Is entirely consumed
the son will survive; If It goes out he
will die. 1t goes out!
The Chinaman reasons thus: Ills son
was chased by devil and when the
devil touched him he became Ill. The
devil demonstrated by means of the
joss sticks that his son must die. Had
the joss sticks burned to the end 1t
would have signihed the future recov-
cry of the patient Joss men would
have been called IN, a most fearful
diu would have followed, and the dew
II and all his lower imps would have
been driven away,--New York Herald.

MRS. HOWARD BUNTING
is BURNED TO DEATH
Sister-in-Iaw of L. N. Bunting of
This City Fatally Injured in a
Gasoline Explosion at the
Texas Home.

| Late yesterday afternoon I. N.
Bunting, editor of The Sentinel, re-
ceived a dispatch from St. Louis
from his brother. H. S. Bunting, one
| of the members of the Hamilton
Brown Shoe Company, stating that
his wife had been seriously burned
in gasoline explosion at the home
of the family at Arlington Heights,
Fort Worth. Tex. The telegram said
that the husband would leave that
night for Fort Worth, but gave no
other particulars of the explosion.
This morning Mr.. Bunting re-
ceived another telegram from a
friend of the family stating that his
sister-in-law had died at midnight
from the burns received in the ex-
plosion, before her husband could ar
rive home.
The deceased was a most beautiful
and estimable character. She was
born in Richmond, Va. and married
H. S. Bunting in st. Louis. She was
the mother of seven children, all liv-
ing save the first born.
Last year two of the daughters of
the family and the eldest son spent
several months of the summer in
this city, meeting many of the young
PSopio Va shc WY WAO Will wen re-
member them.
The devotion of the mother to the
large and interesting family was one
of the most beautiful and lovable
parts of her character. She was
woman of more than ordinary at
tainments. having been given a
broad and very liberal education, and
her untimely and tragic death will
come as an awful blow to the family,
especially to the husband, who was
devoted to her and who was just pre-
pairing to take the rest that comes
from long and successful business
career, which would have permitted
himself and his wife to travel extern
sively as they had planned to do.
Their home at Arlington Heights.
one of the very pretty suburbs of
Fort Worth, was always the scene of
many happy gatherings. it being ad-
jacent to the Country Club of which
they were members, and her death
will be greatly mourned in the COM
munity in which she lived, where she
was universally beloved for her de-
votion to her large family and be-
cause of her devotion to their edu-
cation.
No other particulars of the man
ner in which the explosion occurred
has yet reached here, save the mere
announcement of the death

THE MESA
CLUB DANCE

The last dance of the Mesa Club
for the season of 19O7-S was all that
the members anticipated for 1t. The
members were privileged to invite
one or more guests, and this aug
mented the regular crowd considera-
bly,. The dance numbers were in
creased and the time limit, which has
usually been IL O'Clock, was length
ened for this last dance, and the
members and their friends made all
out of it they possibly could.
The splendid costumes worn by
the ladies, the gallant escorts, made
an ensemble for the evening not Of
ten duplicated in a western city.
At IL pm. supper was served on
the stage and this was on a more
elaborate plan than usual. giving to
the closing dance a prominence that
has been part of the history of the
organization. The very general YER
dict of all present was that there had
been no better dance of the season
than the one that took place last
night.
