ke Knew English.

Book learning, strictly speaking-that
is, learning solely from books-leads
one into many a hole. In 1.-THE Balkan
Trail" Frederick Moore tells the story
of an Italian official Of the Ottoman
bank who had taught himself English
and was enraptured at the chance to
practice It on English people.
1t was with much pride that he ad-
dressed us at supper, but we did not
recognize the language he spoke and
expressed in French our unfortunate
ignorance of foreign tongues.
"That is your own tongue" said the
Italian, but even of this statement we
understood not word.
He drew a pencil from his pocket
and on the back Of letter wrote:
Il am speaking English"
We were astounded.

The hilarious Englishman in our
party gave the unhappy Italian his
first real lesson at once. He took the
pencil and wrote:

not spelt Spell as it Is not pro-
nounced"

How to Settle Bills.

There is young Harlem matron

four-year-old daughter offered her a

to the simplest means Of settling bills.

examining with clouded brow bit

''No; It's nasty big bill, dearie."

In Honor of MIR. and Mrs. McLain.
Mr.. and Mrs. John c. Kennedy
threw open their pleasant home with
a delightful forty-two party Friday
evening, complimentary to Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence McLain, whom to the
regret of their host of friends here,
are leaving soon for Greenville, their
future home. This party may be des-
ignated as "Deacons' and Elders
and their wives party since the
deacons and elders with their
wives) of the First Presbyterian
church, associates of Mr.. McLain,
who is one of the faithful officers of
this church, We're the guests on this
occasion. 1t seems peculiarly fitting
that this host and his wife, should
entertain for this gentleman honoree
and his oonsort, since Mr.. Kennedy
and Mr. McLain, joined the church
at the same time and were later or
dained deacons together The ce-
menting of their friendship will
make the severing of these ties of
friendship peculiarly hard. But
their Is comfort in the fact that to
be gone, is not to be forgotten.
The hostess served refreshments
Of pressed chicken with mayonaise,
perminto sandwiches, waters and

Ladies Aid Society.

The Ladies' Aid society of the
First Presbyterian church had a
most pleasing meeting with Mrs. Ed
Williams, in her hospitable home in
West End this week. Among the
various phases of business discussed
none was of more interest than the
coming "Woman's Missionary union
which meets here in April. A num-
Der of dues were paid. Business was
then suspended and Mrs. Williams
served delightful course of re-
freshments of salad with mayonaise
crackers, midget pickles, beaten bis
cult and hot coffee. 1t was the pleas
ure OF. the society to have with 1t

Her Greatest Sin.

For their second offering, Whit
mans Comedians presented the
above play at the Shelton opera
house to good sized audience, and
though the play was far different
from that of Monday night, it was
mounted beautifully with special
scenery, and the players all showed
their versatility by giving one of the
best productions ever witnessed
here in repertoire.
Miss Whitman and Mr. Roseleigh
were again at their best and the bal
ance of the company worked with
energy and displayed such talent
that proved they had all given care
full study to their respective parts.
The play was new to Waxahachie
and was an exceedingly clever New
York comedy drama showing how a
nice young girl through the malice
of her own aunt and a young wom-
an accomplice, who was in love with
the girls sweetheart, was driven
from home and her husbands love
but who in the end was victorious.
The specialties were again chang
ed and introduced between each act
and alone gave a performance that is
we'll worth the price of admission.
This afternoon a matinee is to be
given, after which Miss Whitman
will hold a reception on the stage to
the ladies in the audience.
Tonight Conan Doyle's great de-
tective story Sherlock Holmes, or
the Sign of the Four" will be present
ed with a full scenic equipment and
new specialties will be introduced
between the acts.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Dallas Ncwsboys Start Visiting and
Are Corralled by Police.

When five ''newsies'' from the
city of Dallas, who are spending a
few days with a friend in the rural
districts near the city, return home
they will no doubt regale their little
friends of the streets and alleys with
wonderful stories of their thrilling
experiences in the metropolis of Ell
lis county Their accounts will prob
ably include graphic description of
how they escaped from the clutches
of the police, how that one of the
"big bulls shot at them and of the
icy bath they took in the murky
waters of Waxahachie creek.
The youngsters ranged in age
from thirteen to seven years. They
hit the town late Monday afternoon
with the intention of going to the
home Of a friend in the country for
a visit They loitered around the Ka-
ty passenger station until after dark
and when the city night Waterman
attempted to round them up they
made a dash for the brush which
fringes the banks of WaXahachle
creek. One of them. developed lit
tie too much speed and did not stop
until he landed in the middle or the
stream in water up to his waist. Inc
BOYS remained in hiding until the
officer had returned to town when
they made their way back to the
passenger station where they spent
the night Tuesday morning they
we're picked up by the police and es-
corted to the city hall Mayor Lass
we'll questioned the boys closely and
learned the name of the person they
desired to visit He then gave them
directions how to find the place and

the government at auction brought a high as s27
