'0rners Of our mouth when there is
health and the outdoors and love to

There's lot of gladness going, but
cany of us are blind to it. What We
want is to take life ike healthy
child and find enjoyment in simple
things. We can cultivate our crita.sl
side until it takes the zest from every
thing.
Any one can be glad when things
go her way; to be glad when the maid
breaks your best dinner set, and the
frock on which you've broken yourself
turns out fright shows a disposition
that can be counted on to oil life's
wheels.
Gladness isn't an effort to be glad:
it is just being glad. You cannot
worry yourself into it; neither does it
come by stimulation; it does cCme from
aIing life easy and enjoying things
whether they are meant to be enjoyed
or not.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

HOUSTONIA HUSTLED
Lexington Laughed Long and Loud But
Lost tO4.

There's sorrow in the Elk camp.
the colors are athalf mast, the purple
and white is trailing in the dust aud
a wake will probably be held in the
near future. Wednesday after batt-
ling ID e sperately tor five
innings TO stave off the ine-
yitable, the Lexington flock did
what old julie Caesar did when be
was poked in the ribs with sickle
by Brutal Brutus away back in the
time when a dress suit was a sheet
and derby hat a laurel wreath.
They just lay down and died, that's
what they did. They flew the coop,
kicked the ucket, passed in their
checks or keeled over, if that's what
you want to call it, and all behind a
pitcher who was pitching his block of
in order to save them the trouble of
chasing the pellet. The score was
to in favor of the other town.
The horned ones had their troubles
at the outset when Mr.. Terhune, who
was doped to toe the rubber, did not
answer when the roll was called.
There was big gathering of
Elks on the grounds but
none felt competent to heaye.
Finally Mr. Charles Klnkead,
formerly sheriff of Lafayette county,
but good ball player withal, essayed
to twirl the bean. The ex-law
pitched a wonderful game and held
to the fort through the nine caneos.
He struck out about IL men and was
generous to the amount OF four neat
ly separated bitfs. In this good work,
Charlie was ably backed up bv his
receiver, Shinn. The Elks miscued
twelve, count 'em II, times in the
field. Errors, in this case as we'll as
in all other cases this season, was
the element responsible for the Lex.
ingtonians' defeat. Monigan, the
Houstonia vehicle, was. puzzle to
all but a few, Ramsey, Sturgis and
several others being the gentlemen
who arrived at solutions. Ramsey
got two clean ones and Sturgis was
responsible for the first run of the
game. Erhart also was present with
pinch punch. The Elks took down
six blows. The crowd was small.
Batteries: Lexington; Kinkead
and Shlnn. HUustonia: Monigan and

A Gala Day.

At $3.50 Thursday a. N. there passed
through the streets of Lexington the
best parade ever marshaled on the
local thoroughfares. 1t was not 80
long or costly as some circus parades;
but it was prettier and none could
look at it without feeling that what
1t represented was the best teud-
ency in modern life.
The parade consisted of twenty
one vehicles loaded with food and
humanity, going to the annual sun
day school picnic at Gruber's grove,
south of town, The schools par
ticipating we're the Presbyterian,
Christian, Methodist and Baptist;
but epicnic is not close communion
affair and in the parade we're noticed
many children whose allegiance is
with some other denomination.
At the head of the parade was the
Lexington band in tally-ho and dur
ing the day it added to the fes-
tiyities with its music. Hay wagons,
delivery wagons and rigs from the
livery stables we're called into com
mission to convey the thrOng. A
prominent feature was the commis-
sary car, presided over by Felix
Young and Rev. R. B. Briney.
1t was impossible tolook at the
parade without feeling of optimism
Hundreds of children there were,
showing by their smiling, freckled
faces that life was pleasure and in
dicating by their presence they we're
receiving instruction which viii make
of them good men and women.

Miss Layida Warren Dead

Mrs. Clarence vivion received
word Wednesday that her sister,
Miss Layinia Warren, had died at
ll:l0 a. N. in s.. Johns Hospital.
Springfield. While the news was a
great shock, Miss Warren's death
had been momentarily expected for
several days past. Death came after
a four weeks illness of typhoid fever.
Miss Lavinia Warren was almost
as well known in Lexington as if she
had lived here all her life, For
several years she was member of
the faculty of Lexington college and,
during her residence in this city, she
endeared herself to everyone With
whom she was acquainted. Her
friends were many in Lexington and
all will mourn with the family in the
hour of death.
Miss Warren was one of the most
es,imable Of women and was univer-
sally popular. She was ever kind
hearted, unselish, considerate and
possessed of a lovely Christian char
acter. This character was reelected
in her personality and she was in
every way attractive and amiable.
Her untimely death is indeed a cause
for sorrow, though her beautiful life
will always be a consolation for those
to whom she was dear.
Miss Lavinia Warren was born in
Higglusville SO years ago. She was
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James
Warren. After finishing her educa-
tiou, Miss Warren became a teacher
of art and as such spent several
years at Lexington college. She
gave up her position at the college
two years ago and opened an art
studio in Wichita, Kansas. She was
visiting her sister, Mrs. Harry
Carroll, in Springfield when she was
stricken with her fatal illness.
Besides her parents, Miss Warren
is survived by three sisters, Mrs.
Clarence Vivion OF this city, Mrs.
Harry Carroll of Springfield and
Miss Annie Warren of Higginsville.
Four brothers also survive. They
are; James of Santa Barbara, Cal
ifornia, Alonzo of Kansas City,
John of New Orleans, aud W. r. of
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
The funeral services of Miss LAWN
ia Warren we're held in Higginsvllle
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, Rev.
R. B. Brinev OF this city conducted
the services. The following people
from Lexington attended the funeraj
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kinkead, Rev.
and Mrs r. b. Briney, Mrs. e. w.
White, Mrs Virginia Johnson and
daughter, Miss Bess, Mr.. and Mrs. r.

A Practice Game .

The game Tuesday between the
Lexington Elks and the Dubinsky
Bros. base ball team was frost in
the strictest sense Of the word. 1t
was one of the bummest base ball lis
plays ever witnessed on the old bat
tle field belonging to the first named
team. The only redeeming feature
of the squabble was that it was SC
extremely ludricous that the spects-
tors took out their quarters worth in
Laughing stock. Its a very funny
and peculiar exhibition. The score
was 10 to in favor Of the Elks.

A lady friend told US that one day
this week party was. going
out to the country and he saw a sack
on the side OF theroad. He got down
to investigate and found it. contain
Ell lot of cats. One must be hard
hearted and of brutal nature TO tie
lot of cats in a sack and place them
in the hot sun TO die. The one who did
this surely does not claim to have a
soul. Why did he not kill them out
right to save this torture?
Thomas West was found dead in his
pasture last Monday evening at s.
o'clock. He started out to drive the
calves up for milking time. HIS wife
waited his return for supper and be-

with the calves. He found him lying
in the path dead. He had not com-
planned of being sick and seemed to
be in reasonably good health. Heart
trouble is supposed to have caused
his death He lived in South Wash

place last Wednesday evening. In
terment was in Marvin Chapel ceme-
terry. To his wife and family we
extend deepest sympathy in this
sad bereavement.
