Pithy, Pointed Paragraphs
By BRICE COLLINS.
Another thing I don’t understand. Why is it
considered disreputable for n doctor or a law-
yer to advertise?
Some of us are born to be noticed, some
achieve notice and some remain unnoticed to
the end.
A wise boss does not praise an employee be-
yond his deserts. It usually spoils him. Tem-
perance in praise should be exercised, as in all
other things.
A well known writer who finally conquered
his insomnia by will power says he used to
count sheep while wooing Morpheus. He says
the scheme failed in his case because he “had
more things to think of than there were sheep.”
If you write a popular jazz tune, your social
standing is assured and your fortune made.

quality or preach an old fashioned gospel dis-
course, you are a “fanatic.”

but we do know that Cobb is the greatest
. player of all time and he has been able to
: maintain that distinction by living a clean
4 life, on and off the ball field.
The McKinney City Hospital is a great boon
: to McKinney and Collin county people. Of
• course, no one wants to enter its portals for
• the purpose of receiving treatment, but
there is no telling when you or your people
: or your friends will be in need of hospital
: treatment. So, it is a wonderful acquisition
to our city. It has been in operation for sev-
’ eral years and is one of the few institutions
* of its kind that is self-sustaining. It was one
- of the greatest forward steps the voters of
our-city ever took, when they authorized the
issuance of bonds for the purpose of erect-
* ing the hospital.
A “sucker” is a man who wants something
for nothing. If you belong to that crowd you
can be reasonably sure that every fake nostrum
manufacturer, every oil promoter and stock
market swindler in the country has your name
on his list.
Here is a natural result of the modern aboli-
tion of hades and the breaking down of old-
time religious and moral standards by “mod-
ernist” teachers; Forty boys and eight girls
arrested at Kalamazoo, Michigan on statutory
charges. God give us more stern old dads and
sun-bonnet mothers.
Aside from its convenience and utility, the
use of gas for heating and cooking purposes
a is a big factor in conservation of coal supply
of the nation. Gas for cooking has had the ap-
proval of the housewife for many years and
is now being used in hotels, restaurants and
other public places. The gas kitchen is never
subject to the delays caused by coal, but heat
I heard an old married man say that he and
his old wife had “never had a cross word,”
and I at once remembered the wise declara
tion of an ancient kind, which you will also, if
you are a Bible reader. There is but one living
man who has “never had a cross word” with
his wife. He is a bachelor.
The necrology of daily and weekly newspa-
pers is being rapidly expanded, and is alarm
is instantly available by a twist of the hand, ing to the printers of the nation. One great
New users are being found for gas in the publisher. Frank A. Munsey, has, since 1900,

i tage as for the millionaire’s mansion.
publisher, Frank A. Munsey, has, since 1900,
bought ton leading dailies in New York City
and merged them into one. He gives as a rea-
son the increased cost of paper and mechani-
cal cost.
Great for
growing boys who use
up energy as an engine
uses steam. Say "Kel-

always say the name in full.

The annual dinner to the Ex-Confederates
will be given again this year by the Daughters
of the Confederacy. This is one of the de-
lightful features of the annual picnic and re-
union in McKinney. There are vacant chairs
• every year and this year a notable member
will not be there to fill his chair, but he (Gen.
E. W. Kirkpatrick) filled his chair with honor
and dignity for many, many years. Not only
did he occupy his chair at the dinner table of
the Confederates, but he filled his place in the
high rank of office, the esteem, love and re-
spect not only of his dear old comrades, but
with the people of McKinney, Texas and the
nation. He will be missed not only by the Con-'
federates, but he is being missed daily in all
walks of life, for his was an active life, devoted
to the upbuilding of his city, state and nation.
I have read “The Story of Christ,” by Gio-
vanni Papinni, who was before the world war
the most vituperative atheist in the world. So
far as my knowledge extends I regard it as
the greatest book in any land or language ex-
cept the Bible. A distinguished Methodist
preacher of Dallas, who is now conducting a
revival meeting in my town, said in a sermon
Sunday night that Papinni's description of
the crucifixion was the “most spiritually up-
lifting” that he had ever read.
LAW VIOLATION.
It is just a illegal and just as morally cul-
pable to permit violations of the Sunday law
as any other.—Brice Collins in McKinney
— Courier-Gazette.
Certainly it is. There's no argument against
E the proposition. And it is a peculiar thing
5 that our Sunday laws which are at least deli-
cately tingl'd with blue and have ever been
- more honored in the breach than in the ob-
servance, have come up for revision at sundry
Er times in the legislature and when mention is
— made of a change to conform with natural ob-
= servance a lobby bobs up at Austin loudly
- proclaiming against any tinkering with a
= statute that is even then being broken every
E. Lord’s Day throughout the State. Our Sun-
— day laws have never been enforced in more
E than one or two counties at a time and then
Z only spasmodically. Texas occupies the
~ anomalous position of having laws that are
— hot enforced, that cannot be done away with
— or amended, caused through the objection of
— people who openly wink at their weekly vio-
lation. Come to Texas.—Mineral Wells In-
2772/dex.
Ex-Vice President Thomas R. Marshall
says: “The trouble with America today i,
that we have too many preachers legislating
and too few legislators praying. Treaties, docu-
ments, constitution and conventions will not
bring peace. Our Democracy rests upon the
high thinking, fine living, judgment and con-
science of our men and women. Get right
with God, help other people to do the same
and there will be no war in the world. I’d like
to operate on the body politic and remove
several hundred thousand laws and leave
only the ten commandments and the Golden
Rule that we started with.”'
Ruth Cross, the young woman who wrote the
“Golden Cocoon,” a book now on sale in prac-
tically all the book stores of the United States,
is the daughter of a country doctor and grew
to womanhood in a little hamlet six miles
southeast of my town, which now has two smal
stores and a gin. It is a popular superstition
that creative writers endowed with innate gen-
ius write without great effort or concentra-
tion. In a talk with a newspaper woman Miss
Cross once again explodes this popular fallacy.
She confided that many passages in her novel
had been rewritten a hundred times. In the
stress of newspaper work the editorial and
reportorial space-fillers scribble their stuff as
quickly as their hands can fly over their pads
and let it go more often than not without
punctuation or revision; but few of them ever
achieve more than local renown. .

Brig.-Gen. Charles dates Dawes,
soldier, financier end composer,
nominated for Vice-President- of
the United States by the Republi-
can National Convention In Cleve-
land. General Dawes, long cele-
brated in financial circles by his
writings as well as his success in
a banking career, achieved national
fame by his services during the
war and his picturesque testimony
shortly thereafter. He then be-
came the first Director of the
Budget and, after a brief interval
of private life as a Chicago banker,
leaped into the international lime-
light as Chairman of the Interna-
tional Advisory Committee to the
Reparations Commission. General
Dawes was born in Marietta, Ohio,
August 27, 1865, son of General
Rufus R. Dawes, who commanded
the famous Iron Brigade of Wis-
consin, went to Marietta College,
and was graduated from Cincinnati
Law School at the age of 21, work-
ing his vay through college as
chief engineer of a small Ohio rail-
road. From 1887 to 1894 he prac- |
ticed law in Lincoln, Neb., his firm
specializing as public utility coun-
selors and developing extensive
gas plant holdings. He moved to
Wisconsin in ’94 and became Pres-
ident of the LaCrosse Gas Light
Company, and his next move was
to Evanston, 111., as President of
the Northwestern Gas Light and
Coke Company of Evanston, which
eventually was merged Into the
People’s Gas, Light and Coke Com-
pany, supplying Chicago. Follow-
ing his activity in behalf of Presi-
dent McKinley in Illinois in ‘96,
he was named Controller of the
Currency of the United States,
serving from ’98 tn 1901. He then
organised the Central Trust Com-
pany of Illinois and was active head
of that enterprise until 1921, when
he became Chairman of the Board
of Directors. In 1917-1919 he
served In France, most of the time
as Chairman of the General Pur-
chasing Board.
