Mrs. Martha e. Cowell died at
the home of her son, G. A. Cowell,
October6 at a ripe old age, being
in her S9th year. She protested
faith in Christ in early girlhood,
and lived devoted Christian I'M
til God called her home. Strong
in the feith that takes no denial,
she was patient and cheerful all
through her illness, and when the
final summons came she seemed to
fall into gentle sleep, which is
characteristic of the departure of
one who had lived for Jesus.
The writer knows no words that
would be more consoling to the
children and loved ones than to re-
fer them to the life of their mother
and friend, whose gentle and quiet
disposition is worthy of emulation.
With her life as our guide, let us
take courage and live SO that when
the end comes it will be sweet and
peaceful just like that of Aunt
Martha.
Her body was gently consigned
to the grave in Cowell's Chapel
Cemetery Sunday afternoon at 3
O'Clock in the presence of a large
gathering of friends. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
Arco Robinson.

BURGLARS MAKE
BIG HAUL OF LARD
L. Kowalski's Warehouse Broken
Into by Someone Evidently
Familiar With Interior Conditions

Sometime during Sunday night
the warehouse of Louis Kowalski, at
the corner Of Fronton and 9Th
streets, was entered, and twenty
cans Of lard and some other stuff
hauled away. The burglars evident
ly had more than they could carry,
as one can was left in the rear yard.
Entrance was gained to the build
ing by the way of the ear door by
boring a hole through the door. The
hole was made large enough to allow
a mans arm to go through, and was
bored just the length of a forearm
below a wooden bar or the inside. 1t
was an easy matter to lift the bar
from the sockets and let it fall to the
floor.
The lock on the door was broken
and was not in use. Mr.. Kowalski be-
lieves that someone familiar with
this fact is responsible for the haul.
The police are working on a clew.

three representatives of the grand
lodge of that order, including Chas.
F. Weiland of Dallas, grand chancel-
Tor, Henry Miller of Weatherford,
grand keeper of records and seals,
and r. Lee Brown Of Temple, special
deputy grand chancellor.
The meeting was thoroughly a
lodge affair, the regular exercises
being gone through. There were
speeches by the guests and members
of the local lodge. Later in the even
ing the formalities of lodgedom
were passed over, and the guess
were rendered a smoker.
The visitors, who arrived here at
noon yesterday, leave this morning
for Corpus Christi, where they have
an engagement to meet the Knights
|of Pythias lodge in that city tonight.
d. L. Spero, as master of cere-

HOW THE EARTH DRIED.
And Why the Drying UP Process 10
Constantly Going On.

&OfSkath oef"9 ~"
When water Is ~decomposed by radium
or by ultra violet rays 1t produces ny
drogen and peroxide Of hydrogen. and
it does not form oxygen. Electrolytic
decomposition forms oxygen.
A German investigator bases a new
theory relating to the drying Of the
earth on the fact that one form of de-
composition produces oxygen, while
the other form does not. Part of the
water vapor emitted by the sea is de-
composed by the ultra violet rays or
the sun. The hydrogen formed rises
toward the high atmospheric strata,
and all the water does not return to
the surface. Therefore the quantity
Of water on the face Of the globe Is al
ways diminishing, and the earth Is in
cessantly, If gradually. drying.
To cite one example: On the north
tide of the Alps occur q continual
falling off in the depth of the lakes
and q gradual formation of swamps.
Two hundred and fifty years ago there
were $40 lakes In the canton OF Zu-
rich. Today there are s~eventy-six.
The destruction OF the forests and the
cultivation Of the land partially ex-
plain this, but the loss Of hydrogen IS
an important factor. The hydrogen
accumulated in the higher atmosphere
ls diffused In in%terstellar space.-Har-
per's Weekly.

AN ELEPHANTS CHARGE.
The Way II Was Met by a Cool Head
ed and Merry Hunter.

DR.. Dunbar Brunton spent some
years in Africa as q district medical
officer. One Of his most thrilling adj
ventures was with a bull elephant.
With q friend. who went off on In
other track, he had been following up
the tracks Of elephants all day without
success, and just before shutdown re-
ceived word from his comrade that he
was gazing back. DIR. Dunbar Brunton
decided to return also, but before start
ing on the homeward track sat down
and lighted a pipe. He was smoking
quietly when he heard the noise of his
friends heaters, and a native who car
ried a gun said, Look"
A great bull elephant was close upon
them. Very quietly the doctor laid
down his pipe and took his gun, while
the natives scuttled up the trees in
terror. The doctor took a quick shot,
but just missed the elephants brain
pan. 1t threw up its truAk, opened its
mouth, put its tusks forward and
charged. A second shot struck in the
shoulder. but did o check its Onrush.
The doctor shot again when 1t was
within n few PAGES. and. HURTING past
him. 1t fell, with legs outstretched,
with q bullet in its heart. The doctor
turned to his pipe. 1t was still alight.
and he finished his smoke while the
natives danced round the body of the
elephant.-Chicago News.

Inconsistencies Spells Photographs.

Aunt Maria thought, and so did her
New York relatives, that the photog-
rapher was unpardonably discourteous.
For three successive days he refused
to take Aunt Maria's photograph. On
the fourth day he told why.
"In justice to her." he said. 81 do not
want to take her picture now. She is
too homesick. Most out of town people
want to be photographed while in New
York. If they are longing for home l
put them off with one excuse or another
until the inconsistencies wears of.
"If you want your aunt's pictures to
turn out well just hunt up some one
from her home town who happens to
be visiting In New York at present and
bring him here SO she will meet him
Unexpectedly. The meeting will put
sparkle and animation into her face.
and neither she nor | will be disap-
pointed with the photographs" New

Man EATING Sharks.

The sailor says that the most Zero
cious creature that swims in the sea
Is the shark. By that he does not
mean every shark. but what is called
the man eater, just as a certain spe-
cies of tiger in India Is called the man
eater because it hunts human beings
for its prey. preferring them to ami
mails. The man eating shark is not
the largest Of this species Of fish. but
is noted for its strength. also the rapid
ity with which 1t swims. 1t goes
through the water so rapidly that few
fish exceed 1t in swiftness. and 1t is
thus able to catch food Of that kind.
This is especially true in the waters
such as the Indian and south Atlantic
oceans. the Pacific ocean and the wa
tiers tributary to them-that are deep
enough for the shark to swim in

REPORTED THE WEDDING.
The Dramatic Critic Got tho Job and
Did the Best He Could.


In the absence of the regular society
reporter the dramatic critic Of the
Daily DoIngs was detailed to cove a
wedding. 'I'll do the best | can" he
said, but | feel sure l shall make q
mess of it,"
This is what he turned in, emitting
the preliminary remarks about the size
Of the house and the delay in begin
ming the performance:
"Mr. Barker, in the role of the bride
groom, acted the part in q stiff yet
listless manner. He has a good stage
presence, but mars the effect by a to-
tai lack of animation and an almost
inaudible voice. Miss Perkins. as the
bride, was much more effective. Her
costume was bewilderiRg. yet true to
life. If one may venture to criticise.
her effort to overcome her obvious
stage fright was a trife too evident.
She was in good voice. however. and
her enunciation was clear and distinct.
at must be pointed out that both
Miss Perkins and Mr.. Barker were de-
ficient In their lines and had to be
prompted almost constantly by the
Rev. Henry Harper, who, as the oti-
clating clergyman, was decidedly the
star Of the performance."-New York
