Compelling Other People To Donate.

Margaret f. Sangster writes a
very interesting article on Our
Teachers and Our Schools" in
the September Woman's Home
Companion. One of the points
brought out has to do with the
rather prevalent custom that
millionaires have of giving gifts
conditional upon an equal sum
being raised by others, Mrs.
Sangster says;
"Apropos of conditional gifts,
l find in my desk, among letters
laid away for use, one in which
these pathetic sentences occur:
The cruel policy of conditional
donations nearly brought our
president to the grave, and led
to a cut Of two hundred a year
on the already meager salaries
of our professors, cOnstraining
them besides to make a subscrip-
ton of one hundred dollars apiece
from the remainder, and then

Shreveport-Dallas Hi(hway.

The latest Development in the
road building epidemic that has
taken hold on the State, is the
inter state highway that is being
agitated by the Longview Cham
Der of Commerce, leading from
Shreveport, Louisiana, to Dallas,
and traversing the principal
towns of East Texas. The move
ment has been under way for
some time and has been endorsed
and promised support from prac'
tically every town along the pro
posed route and with the senti-
ment for road building at the
highest pitch, as is the case in
Texas at present, in all probabil
ity the proposed highway will
be carried to completion.

Lumber Mills Close Down.

Shreveport, La, Aug. 21.-
Twenty two lumber mills in West
Louisiana and East Texas closed
down today because of labor
troubles. Eight thousand en-
ployes were thrown out of work
and are likely to remain idle for
some time as the mill operators
declare they will never consent
to accede to the demands Of the
timber workers union which is
seeking to affiliate with the In
dustrail Workers Union. The
operators association claims that
there is plenty of lumber on
on hand for the trade for some
time to come and that they can
afford to keep the mills closed
indefinitely.

We are sorry to announce the
death of Mr.. j. H. Wimberly,
who died at the Cass County
Farm August 9Th. The death of
Mr.. Wimberly was indeed sad
to his relatives and their friends,
although his death was not
much of a surprise, for he has
been in feeble health for several
years, since he was stricken with
paralysis.

and we learn she is already i'm

be Of great benefit to her.

but we don't think the season
was sufficient to cause them to

this community.

TEXANS FROZEN
''''''' ; ' on Pixies PEAK

Colorado. Springs. Colo. Aug.
o. W. A. Skinner aud wife of
Dallas. Tex, who came here in
July to spend the heated term,
met with sudden death in a
binding storm Of wind, rain hail
and snow on the summit of
Pixies Peak this morning.
Their frozen bodies were found
by mere chance under a deep
snowdrift near the tracks of the
cog railroad at II, 5O0-feet alti-
tude. and within less than two
miles of their destination, at i.
p. m. today, by boy who was
attracted by part Of the wOm-
ans dress fluttering in the
wind.
Coroner Jackson was notified
and was taken up by special
train and the bodies are now in
the morgue pending orders of
relatives for shipment to Dallas.
The SINNERS started alone on
their nine mile climb from the
ManitOu depot to the summit,
expecting. probably, to be joined
by other tourists as is the usual
experience in the resort season.
Half way up they were overtaken
by the storm, but continued on
their journey, though insufficient
ly clad for the cold.
At last, benumbed by cold and
exhausted by their efforts at
climbing, they sat down to rest.
When found they were in each
others arms and had thus died,
probably at the same hour.
Transportation tickets and 9th
er papers established their iden-
tity.
A pathetic feature of the deaths
of the SINNERS is the finding of
a letter in SINNERS pocket, dated
Dallas, Aug. II, from j. H.
Choice, in which these words
occur:
II hope you are having the
time of your life in Colorado.
l am sending you an overcoat as
per your request.
Il hope you don't freeze to
