Brazell Brothers have sold the1
subscription list of the Perryton
Herald to Paul Stewart of that
city who will continue the publica-
tion of the Herald. The printing
plant of Brazell Brothers will be
turned back to the companies
which sold it to them. Mr. Stew-
art has been operating a job plant
in Perryton. The Brazell plant
was one of the finest ever assemb-
led and represented, an investment
of something over $15,000. It was
entirely too much of a printing
plant investment for a town the
size of Perryton.

night. Mother, looking very grave
told her that she had been Invited with
her older sisters to take tea ut Judge
RamsdeU's.
Of all places In the world that she
loved best to go wns Judge Ramsilell's.
They hud a delightful old house with
the most' wonderful old attic, and
there were always the most delicious
things to eat.
Surely the way of the transgressor
Is hard!
The next afternoon Mrs. Marsh wns
going to spend with an old lady! With
thoughts of inusli in her mind Mary
Ellen begged to accompany her moth-
er.
"Yes, you may go," said Mrs.
Marsh In surprise, "but It won't be
very Interesting for you. You musi
lake your knitting."
All through the afternoon, as she
knitted Industriously, thoughts of
pound cake, plum preserves and such
luxuries floated through the mind of
Mary Ellen. Possibly there mighi
even be fried chicken!
As the afternoon waned and no
preparation for tea was made, Mary
Ellen grew more uneasy. She kept
growing hungrier and hungrier. At
length Mrs. Rogers said:
"Sister Marsh, I'm going to have
for tea just what I had planned be
fore you came. I knew you would
rather visit than have me spend the
time preparing tea. I'm going to have
mush and milk."

Alary Ellen was a little girl in an
old New England parsonage. They
had to move once III two years In those
days, and this was moving year.
Mary Ellen hated to move again
and leuve her chum, Elizabeth. They
had the loveliest playhouse—a big.
Hat rook down by the woods. There
was not much time for play, as little
girls had to work—to do patch work
and knit, but the playtimes Were all
the more enjoyable when they did
come.
Mary Ellen was not happy. The
jarder had gotten low, and It being
so near moving time. It had not been
replenished. She was so tired of john-
ny cake and muah that she wished*
all the corn men I iu the world might bt
dumped Into the sea. Not since the
last donation, when there had- been
two barrels of doughnuts, which bad
to be frozen up aiid eaten, had her
soul loathed anything as It did johnny
cake and mush.
It was this that led tt> the undoing
of Mary Ellen. She was usually an
obedient little girl, and when allowed
to go and spend an hour with Eliza-
beth, she promised faithfully to come
home ut the end of-the hour.
" She was Invited to stay to tea. and
the tempter whispered In her ear
"mush and molasses." She succumbed
to temptation and stayed. Somehow
the remainder of'the afternoon lost
Its flavor for Mary Ellen, and AW
even tlie company of her beloved Elis-
abeth could dispel the shadow, bat
thoughts of supper buoyed her up.
When, after an Interminably long
afternoon, they were called to tea.
Mary Ellen raw, ill, the center of the
. table an Jtotnenm bowl of mush.
It was (in unhappy Mary Ellen who
timidly approached her hoiue thai
Man Naturally Was Not Quick to Deny
Authorship of Novels in Popu-
lar Favor.
When George Eliot's "Scenes of
Clerical Life" was first run In Black-
wood's Magazine, there was consider-
able speculation as to the identity of
the author concealed behind the pseu-
donym. The people of George Eliot's
old home town, Nuneatou, were espe-
cially wrought up, as they recognized
In the characters of "Amos Barton,"
"Mr. Pilgrim" and others depicted in
the papers unmistakable portraits of
well-known people of the neighbor-
hood.
Various local celebrities, with a lit-
erary bent, were under suspiciou, and
a delegation of the visitors dually con-
cluded to consult a table-tipper said to
l>e making soine remarkable revela-
tions. Under the manipulations of the
"spirit rapper," the table spelled out
the uame of the unknown author as
"Liggers." There was no Llggers iu
the town, but there was a "Ligglns," a
broken-down gentleman who had been
known to write pieces for the papers.
He was charged with the authorship of
the much-talked-of essays and did tioi
reject the houors thrust upon him.
When "Adam Bode" appeared and
rook the critics by storm, Ligglns'
fame waxed greater than ever. He
was lionized by the townspeople, teted
at parties, and a public subscription
was started tyr him. Theu the real
George Eliot deemed it was time to in-
terfere. and wrote a letter to the I Lon-
don Times denying Liggins' author-
ship.
The Perfect Part.
"So you think that our entire sys-
tem Is rotten?" Inquired the telephone
manager of the wrathful client. "No,
I wouldn't say that," temporized the
other. "You have one' department
which (mictions perfectly. It is a mar-
vel of promptness and speed. If the
others were like it you would be all
right." "And which is that?" smiled
the manager The critic paused at the
door. "The1 department that sends out
the hills," lie said, and vanished.—

AUTOMATIC WARNING
AT GARAGE ENTRANCE
Pedestrians Notified That Car Is
Approaching.
The plan of having an electric auto-
mobile hOrn placed in the entrance of
a garage to notify pedestrians that a
car is about to cross the sidewalk is
not a new one, but the operation of
the horn usually deffebds on the mem-
ory of an.,employee. Link Motions for
doing this automatically can, of course,
be built in many different %vays, but
are likely, to give troubleJ fr<jm being
too-complicated, from failure to work
at the f{ght time. Or a possibility Of
working at the wrong time.

Real Meaning of "Gymnasium."
If pupils entered a gymnasium in
their birth attire the instructor would
receive a shock. All the same, the
word "gymnasium" is derived from ,a
Greek word meaning naked; for the
old Grecian athletes used to strip be-
fore exercise.
