TO ESCAPE LAW CLUTCHES

One Of the most brutal crimes in
the history of the Panhandle was as
sesed against one A. w. Bradley, a
trick driver, by the little two-year-
I'D daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. T. T.
0nthe'l. who accused this srecies of
humanity of taking her out with him
and criminal;y assaulting her.
In her ch'ldi-h way. which was
mostly baby talk-the child not be-
'ng able as yet t. pronounce her
words distinctly-she told her moth
err what "ths man (?)" told her not

hind straw. stuck and there, in her
little way described how the "brute
Of man assaulted her.
The story finally got out-the
neighbors began to talk, and Tom
Richard gett'n hold of the story,
swore out a complaint, having the
nan arrested and the charge inves-
tigated.
Bradley was brought up before F..
a. Bateman, and, denying the story.
was told that the best thing he could

In conversation with Mr.. Bateman,

for jewelry that surpasses that Of

cred In the depths Of Algeria. deep
In the heart of the mountains In north
cru Africa. These people are called
,White Arabs" and are known as
"Shawai Berbers" by neighbOring
tribes. European scientists believe
they are descendants Of an ancient
white people who fled to these hills
during times of trouble long ago.
During a certain ceremony which
marks the end Of the winter season
all the young women and girls ber-
row from old relatives every bit OF
jewelry they can obtain, and appear
literally weighted down with silver.
The native jewellers cast silver as
well as heat out bars. and make som"
charming pieces. Their silver chains
are the envy tf the Arabs. Suspicious
customers often bring their own sit
yer to the jeweler and watch him
make pieces they order.
One Of the most astonishing bits OF
jeweiry they wear Is set OF ear.
rings so heavy that they cannot he
held by the ears alone. Silver chains
are attached to them and fastened t.
the headgear to help carry the weight

''Then saith He to Thomas, Reach
hither thy finger, and behold my hands.
And be not faithless, but believing.
And Thomas answered and said, unto
Him. My Lord and my God" st. John
Xxx :27, %.
The name of St. Thomas has been
handed down to US as that of the doubt
ing apostle When the rest of the
apostles assured him of our Saviour's S
resurrection, he refused to believe un-
til his own eyes had seen, and his own
hands touched Him. Our Lord then,
pitying bis weakness, and willing to
silence his doubts forever, appeared
again to His disciples when Thomas
was with them, and quickly convinced
him of the certainty of His resurrec-
tion. This act Of unbelief on the part
OF the apostle Thomas has an advan-
tage for US, inasmuch as it confirms our
faith in our Saviour's resurrection, and
assures US most truly that He r1se
again in the very same body in which
He suffered death. Thus we see how
out of evil God can draw good, and
make even the falls and faults of His
saints the means of safety and life to
others. -.
The Sunday School session will be
held in the church this Sunday. Let
every one be present.

HELP THE OLD LADIES' HOME

Middletown is under especial obliga-
tions to the Old Ladies Home in Will
mington, for in times past many of our
towns worthy old ladies have found a
congenial, sneltering home there, that
has made their last. needy and lonely
days comfortable. There are now three
old ladies from our town being thus
cared for by this worthy Institution.
But aside from this special reason, il
IS benevolence which should on yet
other grounds appeal to our sympathies
and our sense of duty, if not, indeed,
to our own self interests, for we must
never forget that Times whirligig
makes quick and unexpected revolutions
with sometimes startling results
How often one sees in the course of
lifetime numerous, rich family re-
duced both in numbers ard wealth till
perhaps some feeble old mother is left
solitary and penniIess in the world.
Then let all who can make some appre-
ciative returns to this useful public
benefit.
After her custom Mrs. Sylvia A.
Burris is collecting for yearly dona-
tion to the Home and appeals to all the
kind people of our town to help. Money
and food are what are wished.
Any kind of canned goods, preserves,
jellies, etc, anything for the pantry.
Some friends have given very literally
and we believe others will likewise give
to this appealing cause.
