fered a stroke OF apoplexy, although
the attack was not very severe.
Mr.. Wilkins arrived in the municip-
al court building at 1855, Thursday
afternoon, five minutes before the
time scheduled for the resumption OF

with which the detective met the I'm

Suddenly the smile faded, his face

seemed to lean forward as though he

WHAT'S MATTER WITH

,NORTS HIS OBJECTIONS

HOUSTON, Tex, Aug. 23.-Henry
Clay Still is very loud and noisy and
vociferous on the colonel question.
He's dead set agin' any and all
colonels, not the regular sure-enough
article. And he's making a race for
governor OF Texas on that platform.
There are entirely too many
colonels In this state. and all through
the south, with Kentucky leading by
a big majority, but Texas Is coming
up at good gait" said Private" II
Clay Still TO an assorted conglomera-
tion Of colonels the other day.
OF course. his idea doesn't take well
with the colonels, but 1t listens fine to
the privates.
Why" snorted Still, lin the last
state Democratic convention, three
out of four men were called 'colonels.
Some of them were not old enough to
have been In the Spanish-American
war.
There are no privates left in the
south any more" But here Still was
slightly exaggerating. He prides him
self on being a mere private, although
he Is a veteran OF a real war; and
there is another private living near
Dallas, and one in San Antonio too.
Still wants law forbidding every
om-Dick-and-Harry being colonel,
restricting the privilege OF wearing
that title to those who bore 1t in times
of national peril.
There being quite few colonels in
the Democratic party in the state.
Still is running as sort OF free lance
candidate, keeping the lance free TO
prod any colontl-ofpeace he meets up
with.
