therein contained seem to them

that condition they are as innocent

high heeled boots. a flaming red tie
a leather hat band. a spur on walking
hand in hand with a young girl
dressed in q yellow calico frock. a

They walked along singing hands.
and eating popcorn. After filling up
on circus lemonade they caught
hands and proceeded to see the
sights. have known people to make

them greenes' and all such
names. | always tip my hat to such
sights for they are marching on
hand in hand together and soon
there will be a country wedding
They will be all in all to each other,
and possibly will lay the foundation
for a prominent family Probably,
judges, eminent divines and con-
gressmen will feel honored to call
them father and mother. They know
only each other and will probably
go to their graves without ever
hearing of an affinity. OF all the
beauties in the complicated affairs of
human association | think the most
attractive is the different stages of
development of the tender passion
between man and woman. | mean
that good old honest passion which
leads to matrimony and from matri-
mony to fatherhood and mother
hood.
I turned up in Waxahachie with
my face skinned and have been ask
ed by a hundred people how it hap
ipened. | have told no one but have
listened to the different suggestions.
One suggests that some one hit me
in the face with a cat. Some think
tried to alight from moving car
Some think | have had a fight. Some
suggest that ! have been in runa-
way. | do not like any of these sug-
gestions and will suggest a solution
which | think more probable and
that is that possibly I missed a step
on high porch and fell to the yard,
my face coming in contact with a
box. | did not say that this is the
way it occurred for | decided not to
tell but l like this better than any
of the above mentioned suggestions.
