JUDGE j. G. HUNT

Judge j. G.. Hunt, upon behalf
of the citizenship as a whole,
opened his remarks by saying
Z" | am too full for utterance, "
when some rakishly inclined
friend in a stage whisper said,
"Where'd you get it, Judge?'
But Judge Hunt wasin the clouds
he heard not the earth whis-
per with its suggestion. i am
happy by reason of this hearty
cooperation" continued the
speaker. 1T is the basis of all
true success, and forever puts to

flight petty jealousies and dissen,
sions, only hurtful in their infu,
enceS. From Dalhart to the
Texas & Pacific there is one broad
spirit of fraternity and brother
hood-no room for anything that
is bad or unsightly, this atmos-
phere is deadly to such a state
of things"
Judge Hunt then drifted into
a dream of future greatness of
the Panhandle country, working
in imaginary, poetry and song,
imprOmptu, but to the point.
Getting to earth again, Judge
Hunt eXclaimed:
We don't know how big we
really are. We have landed a big
prize, but even greater things
are in store for us. The best
things are yet to come. We want
to say that you re welcome, thrice
welcome, at the hands of this en-
tire citizenship, and we love you
all. -

\ HAPPY HIT.

When the visitors had gotten
over their first great delight of
the welcome and the hearty cor
diality of the greeting of friends,
the speakers stand was occupied
and l.. E. Cowling, chairman of
the meeting, exclaimed:
It's all over but the shoutin'
and well let the visitors from
little Amarillo and the other little
towns help us do that. This
was a jolly little dash that indi-
Gated the trend of future express
sions, so fully in keeping with
the spirit pervading the assem-
bly,.
Mayor Haney was called to the
stand, and like the new convert,
he was almost too full for utter
ance." The mayor told of the
glad nature of the occasion, of
the joy that was everywhere APP
parent. He stated that Canyon
City had assembled to rejoice and
to be rejoiced with by her neigh
borg and friends. We are here
for the purpose of talking and
hearing talk. We have been as
sisted in landing this prize by
every town in the Panhandle,
and joined by them all, we make
our bow with a feeling of honor
to the locating board at whose
hands we have received this mag
niticent gift" At this juncture
Mayor Haney read a number OF
kilograms from various sections
cOngratulating Canyon City or
her success.

The Dust of the Earth.

Expecting a visit from the supern.
tendent of an adjacent Sunday school
one Sunday afternoon, one enterpris-
ing teacher, anticipating the line of
questions which would be asked of
the scholars, selected boy from her
class to answer each question. AS
she had figured it out, the visitor
would first ask the pupils the ques-
ton, who made you?" and the first
pupil was, of course, TO answer Cod
The next question was 20 be "Of
what?" TO which the answer was 10
be "Of the dust of the earth" Un.
fortunately between the time Sun
day school was called TO order and
the visiting superintendent had taken
the floor, the first pupil was taken
sick and obliged to go home. The
teacher did not have the opportunity
to readiust her forces, and when the
first question was asked, the second
boy thought it a good opportunity for
him to get in his answer and get it off
his mind: so to the question, Who
made you?" he answered, "Of the
dust OF the earth"
"Oh, no." said the visitor God
made you"
mo, sir: He did not" said the
youngster. "The little boy that God
made has gone home sick, and | am
the dust Of the rth."-Judge.

the way to the pigsty with basket
of corn, when Nell came running to
her, pointing and shouting:
Bessie! See! See, Big dog"
The girl glanced off across the big
pasture, and stared for a moment in
silent surprise. That lurching Great
ure fifty Yards away was no dog, but
what was It? She had never seen a
bear, but she had seen pictures of
that animal, and she had heard ru-
mors OF the alarm over in Byram Val
ley. The truth dawned upon her,
and she trembled in greater fear than
the actual peril warranted for Bruin-
eta was not likely TO attack a human
being except in self-defense.
Nell, run 10 the house! Rum
she cried. 1T isn't a dog; its "A

The child disappeared In a fash,
and Bessie with one more glance at
the approaching black object, dashed
to the barn and fastened the front
doors. The young cattle were In the
open yard, and would have 10 defend
themselves, but Bessie had heard
somewhere that bears were very sell

slammed and bolted the pig-pen door,
and then ran TO the kitchen. BY this
time Bruinetta was in the yard SEEM

was about.
When Bessie entered the kitchen
she heard the mufled cries OF her 1T
tie sister, but could not locate them.
She searched cupboard and pantry in
vain, and then. with a white face,
turned 20 the wood house.
For at that instant she heard a
creaking sound, caused by one OF the
huge doors that closed the front arch

small door leading from the kitchen,
she was Mortified 10 see the bear in

The men angrily questioned the

A UNIQUE RELIC.
Only One Washinston-Lafayette Me
dalIion Known TO Exist.

The medallion has an interesting
history TO its credit. Priof 10 taking
leave OF the officers of his staff, Gen
eral Lafayette. of revolutionary fame,
sent TO Paris and had six medallions
made; this was one of the SIX. The
word was" is used advisedly, as the
whereabouts of the other five are
not known, and as they were Of break
able material, they may easily have
disappeared long since, unless they
fell into good hands, as was the case
OF this individual medallion. These
medallions were ordered by General
Lafayette, who presented one 10 each
OF the six officers Immediately under
him, and for whom he entertained a
friendly regard
The medallion is made of cut-glass,
bound by heavy rim of solid gold, TO
which is attached a gold ring, by
which il may be suspended. Be-
tween the two layers OF glass is a
beautifully modelled head of Washing
ton in plaster, silvered, on the reverse
side of which may be seen the follow
ing inscription, which is undoubtedly
the makers name and address:
DespreZ
Rue des Recolets
No a Paris
Washington.
Note the omission of the letter n"
in Washington.
THIS medallion, says the Circle,
came into the possession of Mrs. r.
Luis Mora, of New York, through her
grandmother. II was presented 10 her
great-grandfather Lewis Compton,
when he was visiting in New Orleans
several years after the Revolutionary
War, and his descendants have kept
il among cherished heirlooms; its only
defect is a slightly Clipped surface
of one Of the faces. 1t would be of
interest to collectors 10 learn where
the other five medallions are If they
still exist. Aside from its intrinsic
value, this relic has great value from
the collectors viewpoint.-The Phil
