L*»t week while reading the
Houston paper Lee Feezor of
Humble saw where Dr. Forrest
C. Feezor of Raleigh, N. C. had
been called to the Broadway
Baptist Church in Fort Worth,
Texas. This being very inter-
esting to Mr. Feezor as his
father had come to Texas 42
years ago from North Carolina,
married a Texas girl and only
lived s short time until he was
killed in an acident. Since that
time Lee not even remember-
ing his father, had never known
any of his fathers people. He
also had never seen the name
Feezor except his own,
He wrote Dr. Feezor an air
mail letter to Raleigh and on
the fourth day he reoeived an
answer, stating that they were
second cousins. The writer also
stated that he was greatly
pleased to have gotten the letter
and was looking forward to see-
ing Lee when he conies to Texas.
“Fret Not Thyself”
After much experience, phy-
sicians have concluded that an
emotion tires the body and
brain more than the most in-
tense physical or intellectual
work, and that nine-tenths of
fatigue (in healthy people) is due
to inner conflicts. “Of all my
nervous cases I have never found
one that could be traced to over-
work,” declared a noted nerve
specialist.
These statements, to some of
us, may sound too sweeping,
but we will recognize that there
is a great amount of truth in
them. That peace of heart | 13i wno is a regular one-man i
makes for well-being, and that | Wasting at the Axis with his car-

Travel Note: A resident of New
Jersey took his beautiful young wife
and seven-year-old son to Newark
and placed them on a train bound
for Chicago where they were to visit.
A couple of hours later, when he
was about to sit down to a lonely
dinner, he received a telegram that
had been filed by his wife in
Philadelphia. It read: “Everything
all right. Just hang onto the tick-
ets.” The message left him at a
complete loss until he happened to
reach into his pocket. Then he found
that instead of giving the Pullman
and railroad transportation to his
wife, he had kept it. Despite the
reassuring wire he was much wor-
ried until he received another tele-
gram. It seems that when the wife
discovered she was ticketless, she
began to cry and the gallant con-
ductor, moved by the tears in her
lovely eyes, fixed everything up, the
husband merely having to go back
to the station, and deposit the
tickets.

Bargain: In the days of the great
financial madness, a Wall street
broker riding the crest of the wave,
.bought an estate out on Long Is-
land. Having acquired it, he spent
approximately a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars fixing it up for his wife’s
pleasure. The well-known crash left
him flat on his back so far as
finances were concerned. His wife
cast him aside and finally he reached
a point where he is living in a fur-
nished room. The other day he en-
countered a financial writer whom
he had known well in flush days. The
broker informed his friend that he
would sell the Long Island show
place, closed for some time, for a
