Memorial Day will be. observed IN
Dallas on a more elaborate scale inns
wear than has ever been attempted
here before. if plans now being con-
sldered are carried out At meetlhR
held in the court house last friuas
evening at which the interest anu
willingness to assist was far In excess
of the attendance, it was agreed tha'
the spirit of the day should be gwen
full recognition, and that appropriate
exercises should be held. Numerous
committees are to be appointed anu
TO each of them will be deiegateu
some important feature OF the pro-
gram The personnel of the commit
fees was left to Mayor ]. r. craven
and A. b. Muir, president OF the COM

work of preparation will commence
II is probable that a parade VIII De

be headed by the Dallas Band' anu
the place of honor will be accorueu
the members of the Grand Army Oh
the Republic, or veterans OF the ClVli
war. and the veterans of the Spanish
American war. Company H, o. N. IT,

the procession. An effort will be maze
also to induce various fraternal or
ders to participate. 1t is likely 100
that the school children of Dallas'

given an opportunity to march, ana
that alone will add much to the oc-
casion, as there are nearly 500 OF
them.
The graves in the cemeteries VIII

THE FIRST ROSE OF SPRING.

(By Ednelle Collins.)
The last rose OF summer? Nay, us
not the theme.
The world would not Danish hfes
beautiful dream.
IL asks not a dirge Tor the hopes
which have fled,
Nor wind-scattered petals from roses
now dead.
Humanity turns from despair's falling
night
Its prayer not for darkness and death,
but new light.
From unkEstvn, beyond frail mortal
ity's ban.
A symbol OF life. comes the answer to
man.
No dIrge for dead hope. not Of dark
ness the theme,
dream.
Man prays for new life; heavens an
An angel OF earth. 'Tis the first rose
OF spring.

Hay Dealers Organize.

1.amar.-The hay dealers OF the
Arkansas valley have perfected per
manen; protective organization to be
known as the Arkansas Valley Prod
ucts Association. and chose the fol
lowing officers: c. F. Briggs of Fow-
Ter. president: Ralph Green of Bristol.
vice president: W. c. Wix OF Lamar.
secretary: II. F. Walls OF Las Animas
and c. a. Pinkham OF Holly directors.
The purpose of the organization is to
protect dealers from INSCRIPTIONS
brokers and commission men. who
have made claims of off grade ship
ments handled through them until
shippers would reduce the drafts. In
vestigation has proven most OF these
claims unjust. and the association pro
poses to keep an inspector at the prin-
cipal shipping centcrs to whom all diff
ferences will be referred for adjust.
ment, and who will determine to whom
loss is probably due. Dealers have
been losers by farmers refusing to
clear the first cutting thoroughly from
the ground. and the second cutting
mixed with dead hay of the former cut
ting. making lower grade than al
new hay would be. The association
will endeavor to remedy this trouble.

GOT HIS SOBRlQUET EARLY
Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
TO the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire. first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself. according
to a New York letter. holds that IL
came to him naturally. for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. Il think the first
time / was ever called Honest John
was when ! was quite a youngster.
said Kelly. "A man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance !
presented TO the world and hailed me.
You look honest. boy" said he. What
might your name be-? John. said ].
quite simply. John'-iust like that.
Then hold my horse while / so in
the saloon and get a drink said he.
And so held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got a drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue. In
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in a given time. by and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full OF tinware. The peddler
was detained within by sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions OF the wagon. Eventually. be
coming daring. they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to my
trust. stood there holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa-
tion Well. said he warmly. you're
Honest John. all right. You saved the
horse"

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Parlshioner's Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat in
In the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of a young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of small parish in Vermont He
aspired to greater things and large
field. and in the hope that his reputa-
tion would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to.whIch he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command
He was. however. totally unprepared
for what was intended for complf
ment, but which was put to him In
such a way that 1t left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning. after an espe-
ciaIly brilliant effort. he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one OF the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister.
she said; "Ah. sir. We do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are SO In
structive Do you believe 1t. We never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish
