JUDGE KING ENTERTAINS
His Sunday School Glass at Spring
Park-Enjoyable Event.

One of the most enjoyable events
of the season was the outing given by
Judge John NJ. King to his Sunday
school class last evening at Spring
Park.
A large number of young people
were at the trysting place at s p. M,
where they piled into wagons and bug
gies and hied them forth to Spring
Park, where every arrangement had
been made for their pleasure and en-
tertainment
The swings, boats and other forms
of amusement were soon in active de-
mand, but the event of the evening
was when the entire party, led by
Judge King, who was the youngest of
the young, turned themselves into
boys and girls again and engaged in
many old-fashioned games, among
which were a number of delightful
sells" for those who were not wise
TO the occasion. Judge King was not
up on barn yard" and his perform
ance on this occasion was quite
unique and creditable for beginner
This is one of a number of outings
given by Judge King to his large and
growing class, which numbers some
thing over so. He evidently believes
that one very useful field for the
church is TO provide good, wholesome
and innocent social entertainment for
the young, and in planning and lead
ing he is a past master in the art
Another Sunday school party is be-
ing planned for the near future, and
all who have no church home or con
nections are cordially invited to come
and take part in his class work.

Weather Conditions.

The high pressure over the lakes on
Tuesday has moved to New England,
attended by fair weather over that
district and south to the gulf. An
other high pressure area is over the
North Pacific coast. The storm
trough which has been noted over
West Texas since the 18th inst. has
increased its energy and now has a
central pressure of 29.5S inches near
Ell Paso. No rain has fallen in Texas
in the past "a hours, but the general
low pressure over the Southern Slope
and Northwest has caused showers
over the West and portions of the
Northwestern states. The cold area
ranges between 46 and so degrees
and includes the Northern and Cen
trail Rocky Mountain states and
North Pacific states.
Partly cloudy weather is indicated
tonight and Thursday in the vicinity
of Palestine.
