In the June Woman's Home Com
panion is an article entitled How !
Made Good Husband of My Son." In
which the writer lays down some rules
for a course OF domestic training for
bachelors, who are thinking Of being
married.
Besides heating the house." he
says, "a man should have thorough
theoretical, and a simple practical,
knowledge of plumbing, so he can be
beyond the mercy of an ignorant or
dishonest plumber. The upkeep OF all
the furniture is your providence; you
should be able TO replace auto
matically, or in your sleep put on the
pull Of a bureau drawer.
"Of course he will not call In a
painter when floors or woodwork need
painting or man to replace panes Of
glass or put up shelves. or any OF the
smaller tinkering around the mousse
any more than his wife should hire a
woman to darn the stockings or do
the small mending.
zone OF his most important duties
is to see that each window and door
is properly screened. He should keep
all the shades in proper order and see
that the windows work easily and
smoothly, also keep the locks OF all
doors in perfect order. He should
have a general knowledge OF building
materials. so he will be able to ad-
wise his carpenter. Naturally, too, he
will keep the knives In proper con
dition, and no young man should wait
until he Is married to learn how to
carve"

JUDGE w. n. NALL DEAD.
Prominent Texas citizen, Attorney
and Mason Passed Away.


and Mason Passed Away.
Mr.. r. NJ. Nall of this city was ap.
prised by wire Saturday afternoon OF
the death OF his brother. Judge w. II.
Nall, which occurred Saturday morn
ing at $3.50 at his home at Mt. Selman,
Texas. Judge Nall had been In bad
health for several years and had been
critically Ill for several weeks. His
brother, MIR. r. NJ. Nall, Of this city,
had only recently returned from o
visit to him, and his death was not
unexpected. Forewarned is not fore
armed, however. in matters OF this
kind, and when the fatal message
finally came, the sorrow II brought
was Just as keen as II 1t had not been
expected.
Judge Nall was born In Desoto
Parish, La, November IL, 1851, max
ing him Ga years, months and 2 days
OF age at the time of his death. He
was raised In Louisiana and, while
his educational advantages were limit.
ed. he was a student all his life and
there was scarcely more widely
, read or better informed man In all
| Texas than he. His legal education
was obtained in the same way, yet his
extensive practice and his standing
with the bar OF the state, prove he
! yond all question the depths to which
he delyed In that deep well-the law
from which, as Mr.. Blackstone says.
all men drink according 20 their un.
derstanding. His was n great brain,
great mind and his knowledge Of
the poets, OF literature. and especial
ly OF the literature Of the United
States. was wonderful. His store of
information. OF poesy, Of legends and
traditions. of the beautiful things that
have been written and presented In
song and story and literature, was
marvellous. and many are the hours in
the court rooms, on the train and
around the camp-fires, he has beguiled
and charmed his listeners with the I'M.
mortels OF literature brought forth
from his wonderful store house Of the
beautiful things Of the earth.
In 1874 Judge Nall was united In
marriage to Miss sallie Davenport, his
good wife preceding him to the grea,
beyond by several years. He lived

! for q Few years IN Tyler county,
Texas, and settled In Brazos County
in 1876. He lived in this county un.
/ til 1882, when he moved to Kountze,
Hardin County, and entered the prac-
tice of law after having arrived at
almost middle age. His success was
marked from the beginning and he
was soon called by the people of his
county to serve them as'county judge,
which he did with marked ability.
Higher honors, politically, were his
had he desired them, but he volun-
tarily retired from politics, prefering
the general practice. With the excep-
ton of one or two years spent in
Bryan, he continued to make his home
at Kountze until his health failed.
More than a year ago he gave up his
practice, sold his library and went to
make his home with his children at
Mt. Selman, Texas, and remained
there until he fell asleep.
AS a man and citizen, Texas had
no better; as friend, none was truer;
and as a husband and father, none
kinder, more considerable, more in
dulgent. He was gentleman Of the
Old South. A man of high ideals and
would not stoop to anything low or
little. In his heart there was charity
for all and the faults of his friends he
traced in the sands, while their good
deeds were written upon the tablets
of love and memory. None could know
him without loving him, and through
out all Texas today sorrow abides In
many hearts at his going. r.
He was member of the Christian
Church, a Mason and Knight Of Py-
thias. In Masonry he took great de-
| light and there was hardly better

He also leaves two brothers, Mr.. h.
NJ. Nall of this city and Rev. ]. p.

tives have the profound sympathy OF
all In their deep sorrow.
The remains, accompanied by Mr..

WHY GERMANY WANTS TO TAKE

The reckless persistoncy Of the
Germans. In their efforts to capture

by Senator Berengcr OF France. in an

out that possession Of the Brioy Val.

added 100000 tons Of iron to the
annual output OF Germany. and made

When American troops crossed the

it was an act of war, as subsequent

of war is put into the record.
