CATTLE BARON'S READY GUN
SINGS SONG OF DEATH AGAIN

heriting an immense fortune from
his father, a planter of William
son county, he added to it by his
own investments until it reached
the point where few in the Lone Star
state were bigger.
Accommodating riches, Sneed has
also accumulated unhappiness. His
first great tragedy was the death of
his father, who was slain by a de-
luded farm hand. At that time he
and young AL Boyce were fast
friends and constant companions.
Boyce, handsome and debonair. and
the son of the man who ''bossed'' the
Capitol or F'arwell syndicate prop
critics for half a, century, frequently
visited in the Sneed home at Amaril-
10.
Eventually, Mrs. Sneed told her
husband she loved Boyce. He re-
piled that she was crazy and put
her in Fort Worth sanitarium.
Boyce followed her there and eloped
with her, going to, St, Louis, then
Omaha, then Chicago and finally to
Winnipeg. Canada. The husband
followed closely on their heels and

bringing his wife back to Texas.
Grimly, he carried his gun for any
member of the Boyce family. The
father of the young man who had
wronged him was the first he en-
countered and he shot him to death
in 1911. He was acquitted in his
trial at Fort Worth. Soon after, he
heard that AL Boyce, Jr., had re.
turned from Canada and he set out
to search for him. Disguised, he
met him in Amarillo and shot him
to death. He was again acquitted
in his trial at Vernon.
Mrs. sneed IS with her husband
in Cottle county. They have been
living together since he bought her
back from Canada and have grown

presumptuous for any administration to
undertake to give the state an entirely
new constitution at one stroke?
The opposition of any legislator to the
constitutional convention project would
not necessarily mean that he would vote
against the submission OF specific change
TO the people of the state. Apparently,
sentiment among the lawmakers has
turned toward the suggestion made some
time ago by rcpresentative-elect-th
any changes deemed advisable should be
proposed one at time by the legislature.

In spirit this enterprise is not singular.
The English made a mistake in their

not down on their kings. but they
expressed their attitude toward America

THE POETS CORNER

THE CHURCH ACROSS THE WAY

One Easter Sunday morning
While the sun shone bright and clear
And good folks TO the old church came
The parsons words TO hear
They little knew while seated there
Upon that blessed day
A human life was ending
In a home just DER the way.
A man in deepest poverty
Without single friend
He soon would answer TO Deaths call
His life was near an end
IL he could live life DER again,
His thoughts would never. stray
From each word taught that morning
In the church acros the way.
The preachers words touch every heart
Within those sacred walls.
He told how honor always thrives
And how deception falls,
The outcast in his humble home
Whose life had been blanl1
Sighed softly at those truthful words
As nearer death he sank.
He knew not that the preacher
Was his own dear brother Ned
Whom he'd not seen for years, not since
To hide crime he'd fled
And as his soul it took its flight,
He heard the preacher. say
Father forgive us all our SINS
In the church acros the way.
The minister was preaching
His good and sacred teaching
The congregation sat in ecstasy
The bells had just ceased ringing
The choir was sweetly singing
Nearer Ny God to Thee"

As a people we Americans may not
be unduly egotistical, but we do not cx-
actly despisc ourselves. As individuals
VIC arc probably as modest concerning our
traits and qualities as are other peoples
concerning theirs; or there may be a
shade of difference in our favor. But
now and then we are afforded an oppor-
tunity to make a comparison unfavorable
to us even by Our own standards. If an
other nation measures up to such stand
ards, in any respect, more fully than VIC
rave done in the same respect what
should our attitude toward that nation be D.:
II VIC do not applaud, we are casting
doubt upon our own sincerity
Sometimes there is an opportunity to
compare what VIC regard as one OF our
most crcditablc characteristics with what
We regard as one of the most dscrcdit-
able characteristics OF a foreign people.
If the result surprises us, should we
strike contemptrous pose, or plainly tell
ourselves that here is where we redouble
our efforts to make Our practices fit our
idcals?,
We do not recognize prejudice as one
Of our national characteristics. As a
people we regard ourselves as open

With sunf.sscd hair
Has found her way to heaven.
Her smile so sweet
Her dainty feet

So short her earthly reign,

In His garden fair
So transplanted her back again.
