farm just north of the cemetery about
mile and half south of Schleswig
the car went into the ditch, turning

HARDING RESTS
ON TEXAS COAST
President-Elect To Enjoy Fishing
For Time-Puts All Care Asidel

Point Isabel, Texas, Nov. 9.-In
this little gulf, coast fishing town.
which nestles in the southemmost
tip of continental United States,
President-elect Harding went into
seclusion today for an interim of
rest and recreation before he begins
preparation of the. policies of his
administration.
Politics and international prob
lens and all the big and little ques-
tions involved in the making of a
new governmental regime at Wash
ington are to be shut out of his con-
sideration while golf and fishing
are to take first place in his atten-
ton and ambitions.
He puts fishing first of all and
his fondest desire for the time being
is to hook one of the big tarpon that
are found off Point Isabel.
The president-elect and Mrs
Harding arrived here late in the at
ternoon and took up their residence
in a small frame cottage overlook
ing a bay where fleet of fishing
boats lay at anchor.
The townsfolk, largely Mexicans
fishermen, gave them warm wei
come, pouring out of their little boz
like houses and crying out thell
greetings in mixed English ano
Spanish dialect. A score Of pupils
in the Point Isabel school lined the
entrance to the village and showereo
oleanders and other semi-tropica
flowers on the members of the par
ty as they passed.

CAUSED.

proper Gander.)
It was a beautiful day. The we'd
ding was to take place at o'clock in
the afternoon. The train which was
due at three-thirty and which was
bringing the groom had never arriv-
ed. At four the bride sat dressed and
impatiently waiting. Four-thirty-
no groom. The clocks licked slowly
on to four-thirty-five and still no
groom. The best man, the bridesmaids
flower girls and everybody else who
was to be in the wedding had been
ready and waiting for the longest
kind of a time. Five o'clock-still no
groom. The bride sat gloomily think
ing of all the trouble to which she
had gone, of all the finery, and then
to have such a humiliating occurrence
as the lack of a groom, to mar all
her hopes and plans.
About this time the best man,
whom she had always thought of as
a very good friend, came up to ask
her what she was going to do. She
only tossed her head, and told him
that if her groom did not come with
in the next five minutes, that she
would use him. The best man gasp
ed, and suddenly grew quite nervous.
This unexpected news so suddenly
exploded in his ears almost took his
breath. Too surprised to utter any
exclamation, he stood looking at the
bride with startled expression in
his eyes.
Two, three, four minutes slowly
ticked by. The preacher was opening
his bible, the bridesmaids, flower girls
and the bride were getting into their
places. The music was starting. The
bride and best man (now taking the
place of the groom and thus known
as the groom) took g.

The young man suddenly sat up,

dazedly about him.

AUTUMN.

Autumn to me is the most Beauti-
full season Of the year. The beautiful
red and yellow leaves, mixed with
many other colors, make the forest
lovely sight. Autumn is also harvest
time. The farmer gathers his crops
and sows his grain. .,
Another delightful part of autumn
is, that it is nutting time. We jump
into a wagon filled with hay, put in
our lunch and off we 60 on merry
nutting party. When we are tired
hunting nuts, we gather wild flowers
and many pretty leaves.
We gather persimmons, too, just
after the frost falls, and tell me
boy or girl that does not like persim-
mons. ......
Autumn also brings Halloween,
which we all look forward to with SO
much pleasure for then appear the
witches, Jack O'Lanterns, pumpkins,
black cats, owls, and other queer
things Oh what jolly times we have.
And then comes Thanksgiving, with
it's loads and loads of good things.
Ny! I did not know autumn was
so fine until began writing this COM
position. {;
