TRINIDAD NEWS.

The Columbine lodge. X. of P, and
the Court of Calanthe turned out
Sunday at 2:3O p. m. and marched to
the ST. Paul Baptist church, where
the service was held. The program
was duly executed, with Rev. ]. II
Brown, d. D., master of ceremonies
The choir of the Baptist church was
up to the task, for their music was
inspiring Both the lodge and the
court were at their best. when it
comes to the show. The speaker was
Rev. Chas. Henry. pastor of ST. Paul
Baptist church, who was introduced
by the master of ceremonies. The
audience for once was carried away
from the depth of the commons. to
the high plane OF philosophy. The
Reverend proved himself to be an or
ator of no mean reputation, for he
stood as masterpiece OF deep
thought and research. The Offering
taken was the best ever taken in the
city by the X. of P.'s.
But the best was held in reserve
for the last. That was when few
of the boys, brave and true, extended
those tables and those good women
unveiled the baskets of turkey and
chicken in all of the styles, with
everything that was good to the taste
of all present, and to these we all
agreed sit was good to be here"
There were four visitors from Ration,
Mr.. c. A. Woodard. Mrs. Johnson,
Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Adams.
The revival starts at the A. NJ. e.
church April Is. Let everybody be
ON time. Rev. r. l.. Pope of Denver
will run the meeting. Everybody Is
invited to attend these services.
The w. NJ NJ met at the residence
of Mrs. A. Sutton on nigh street Mon
day, 3 p. m An excellent program
was carried out. A paper on .uissions
by Mrs. w. A. Jordan was a rare
treat to all.
The A. NJ. E. church will make a
mark at Easter not heretofore made.
Just look for a program by vested
choir. Mrs. w. A. Jordan is sparing
no pains to make this the beginning
of a agreat hereafter.
The social at Miss Willie Cross's
for the benefit of the A. M. L. church
was grand affair.
The Clover Leaf club was enter.
tanned by Mrs. J. II. Brown at the
parsonage on Thursday from to 8
p. m.
The U. B. F. order will be set up
on the first of May.

SAM G. SAM.

What has become of the two Sans,
mean the two clever Negro pugs,
Sam Langford and Sam McVey Ever
since they have been in Australia
very little has been heard of them. /
suppose they are figuring on coming
out soon with a whole lot of fake dope
the same as they pulled off in Paris
some few months ago. Or maybe
they are afraid the public will cen
sure them so bad for me way they
have acted, that they think it best TO
stay under cover until their minds are
more at ease. OF course, | can't say
against these crafty boys in
a way. but | do say that they might
fool the people sometimes, but for a
constant thing they themselves wise
up the world.

AIDA WALKER IN ST. PAUL.

News comes from the twin city
that Aida Overton Walker and her
singing girls are the biggest thing
that ever happened in that city. 1t
is rumored that never before in the
history of ST. Paul has anyone ever
before had the pleasure of hanging
out the S. R. o. signs. But the charm
ing Aida is puttink on everything but
stop, and the Orpheum management
will no doubt keep her on the circuit
as long as they possibly can. It's
ready cash.

True honesty.

ITO be honest is more than to re-
frain from stealing another mans
purse, more than paying the exact
number of dollars you owe. Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. l. means
nothing less than not defrauding your.
self by your own r.ejudices and judg-
ments. II means dealing fairly and
sQuarely with yourself: looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct OF your
associates. Clara X. Bayliss.

WILL BE REAL TURKEY TROT
Town i'm Texas to Have Parade of
10000 Birds With Brass Band.
A Sight Never Before Seen.

Much has been written about con-
demning it as demoralizing and vi
cious but Cuero, Texas, is preparing
for a turkey trot that is bound to be
instructive, inspiring, entertaining
and altogether delightful. On Nov.
25th there will begin a harvest home
celebration of three days duration,
and a daily feature Will be a parade
of 10000 fat turkeys, led by brass
band.
Texas sells more turkeys than any
other state, and the season is at hand
when multiplied thousands are shipp-
ed to the great cities to be served
upon the country's tables on Thanks
giving day. Year by year this indus
try Increases and no doubt the time
will come when the turkey exports
will reach into the millions.
The Cuero turkey trot will rivet
public attention upon this great and
growing industry of Southwest Texas,
of which Cuero has become the chief
market. A town that can assemble
10000 live turkeys and march them
behind a band is not going to lack
for publicity. Such sight has never
been seen anywhere in the world,
and it will be worth going miles to
see.

FIGHT AGAINST TIGHT SKIRTS
WOMAN's DRESS COMING IN FOR
SOME "PANNING'' OUT WEST.
Some Excerpts From News Stories
Showing Widespread Feeling
Against Tube Skirts.


Here are a few excerpts from the
news stories showing the widespread
feeling against the present tight
skirt:
Columbus, Ind.-Mrs. Leonora M.
Lake of St. Louis, lecturing at the
local chautauqua, says woman is now
suffering from '|fashionitis. She
criticised the clothing that the pres
ent-day women wear as indecent and
immoral, and said that the ballet
dancer and acrobat are more becom-
ingly dressed than many women who
appear on the streets in so-called
fashionable costumes. The present
day tight skirts, she said, give men
reason to make vulgar remarks.
A War on in Omaha.
Omaha. Neb.-The Omaha Wo-
mans Club is to conduct a campaign
against modern tight dresses this
month.
The merchants will be implored
not to purchase woman's clothing
which is Objectionable to the club.
And even the women themselves,
when seen in the street wearing
clothes that attract the attention of
every man within block, will be
asked to go home and change to more
modest attire.
Chicago Also Aroused.
Chicago. and wider skirts
with the waists cut so that the bosom
is not exposed, is the remedy for the
wide criticism showered on women's
attire. While the skirt should not be
long enough to touch the sidewalk
it should be long enough to conceal
the ankles. This is the view of chi
cago women who have given the sub
ject study.

of the Young Peoples Civic League,

GEORGE RILEY's AUTO BURNED.
Struck a Match to See What Trouble
Was. Had No Insurance.

Was. Had No Insurance.
The current issue of the Edison
News prints the following account OF
the burning near that place of the
automobile of Mr.. George G. Riley of
Dawson:
"Mr. George Riley of Dawson had
the misfortune of getting his large
Mitchell car burned while on the road
tn Edison Tuesday evening. The ac-
cident occurred about miles northeast
of town.
"Mr. Riley said that he ran into
deem hole and broke the gasoline
pipe and the gas began pouring out.
He struck a match to look for the
trouble and threw the match into
the water nearby. The gas was flow
ing so fast that it had covered the
water. and ignited when the lighted
match hit it some distance from the
car and in a second the machine was
enve1oped in flames. The loss is a
heavy one to The owner, as the car
was not insured"

ARE WAITING FOR THE PIE
GEORGIANS EXPECTED TO GET
THEIR FULL SHARE OF 1T.
Have Waited Patiently Since They
Saw Sad Sight of Grover Cleve-
land Leaving White House.

WASHINGTON.-With good
sharp-pointed pencil, clean sheet OF
paper and a long pole that will reach
the juicy fruit up towards the top
there is nothing more interesting
right now than speculation as to who
will get the big fat jobs under the
new Wilson administration when the
plum tree shakes in the early spring
breezes of 1913.
People in the South are wondering
what the great landslide, when the
G, o. P. was put out of business, is
going to bring them. Will their po-
litical stockings be filled with the
choicest of dainties in the way OF red
eral appointments for distribution TO
the faithful; will there be reward 1or
all who have waited patiently since
they saw the sad sight of Grover
Cleveland leaving the white house,
and when will the cutting of the pie
begin? Not only this, but what klho
of pie is it? What is its flavor, and'
incidentally, what will be the emolu-
ments that go along on the side?
Just a little figuring with pencll
and paper will show what the faith
full democrats of the South should
get before the year of 1913 is many
weeks old. And right here it may as
well be said that if Uncle Sam gets
out without his bill running up TO-
ward the million dollar mark each
year he does business he will be noted
as a shrewd financier.
To even estimate the exact amount
of money that will go to democrats
in Georgia when all the jobs are filled
by them is out of the question except
to say that a glance at the govern
ment's blue Book" should be
enough to satisfy any one that there
will be plenty for ALL There are
more than 10000 places which Pres
ident-eIect Wilson will have to fill,
and Georgia should get her full share.
