A $10 Bill In a Mall Box-
An Indianapolis letter oarrier
reoently found a crisp $10 bill in
one of the mail boxes on his route.
There was no scrap of writing or
anything to indicate why it had
been deposited there. The oar-
rier turned the bill over to Post-
master Bennett, who wrote the
department at Washington to as-
certain what disposition should
be made of it. The first assistant
to the postmaster general antwer-
ed that there was no rule to oover
suoh a singular case, and that
the finder would have to be gov-
erned by the same laws thatgoy-
ern the return of artides or things
of value found anywhere else.
This means that the letter oarrier
will keep the money unless a
olaimant appears and identifies
the bill.
Postoffice officials are perplex-
ed in wonderirg why any person
should deposit a bank note in a
' mail box. Odd artioles are often
found in the boxes, but it is sel-
dom that a thing of real value is
discovered.—Indianapolis News.
Prederiok A. Busse, republi-
can, defeated the present inoum-

Parker County Boys Honored.
A special appearing in the San
Antonio Express from San Mar-
cos, Monday, states that in a de-
bate between the Denton Normal
at Denton and the Southwest
Texas State Normal at San Mar-
cos, H. F. Grindstaff of £oolville
will be one of the speakers. The
debate will be in San Marcos on
April 27th and will be on the
question of whether or not the
United States should oontinue
the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Grind-
staff with H. O. Dabney of Dal-
las will take the negative side of
of the question. The judges for
the occasion will be Judge C. K.
Bell of Port Worth, Superintend-
ent J. L. Long of Dallas, and
Hon. Bonna Eidgeway of this
city. Parker oounty claims the
double honor of having both a
pp *nker and judge of the occa-
sion selected from the rank and
file of her young men.
School Teaohe'rs, have you not
yet learned that there is no
money but plenty of oursing in
teaching school? If you haven't
learned it you will later on, so
while you can you had better
take a oourse in the Roberts Bus-
iness College and get in a posi-
tion to lay up something for a
rainy day.

District Conrt Convenes
District oourt oon vened Monday
morning with Judge Patterson on
the benoh. The following grand
jury was empaneled and are now
down to work: R. J. Doggett,
foreman, J. Presa Gilliland, Joe
Smith, J. Henry Johnson, W.
T. Soarlett, John Galbraith, Geo.
Jones, Geo. E. Newman, F. M.
Milburn, C. A. Jones, D. C. Cole-
man, A. N. Calif ax. This prom-
ises to beja rather busy term of
oourt, the oriminal dooket being
especially heavy. The civil
dooket has filed some twenty-five
or thirty suits for divoroe, other
wise that dooket is not so heavy.
The divoroe dooket has ocou-
pied almost the entire time of the
district oourt up to date. Those
granted so far, were to plaintiffs
in the following suits:
L. C. Cravens vs. Will Cra-
vens; Jessie Johnson vs. John
Johnson; Myrtle Davidson vs.
Arthur Davidson; Maggie Stone
vs. G. B. Stone; John Bish vs.
Ida Bish; Lula ¿Fletoher vs W.
D. Flevcher; Mary Belt vs. Lin
Belt; R. E. Kellv vs. Hannah
Kelly.
I. S. Slover vs. R. S. Kirk-
pafriok et al, to remove the cloud
from title of property; judgment
for plaintiff.
J. D. Crow vs. D. H. Haokett,
suit for damage and foreclosure;
judgment for plaintiff.
The application by Bruce Por-
ter Browder for removal of disa-
bilities, was granted.
Check From Mexico-
Mrs. G. M. Bowie was yester-
day in reoeipt of a draft for $5.00
from Mrs. J. A. Oohiltree, of
Guadalajara, Mexioo, the sum
bAng sent as a donation to the
Aberdeen Páck fund. Mrs Ooh-
iltree had seen a notice of the ef-
forts of the Aberdeen Park As-
sociation as printed in the Her-
ald—whioh is another evidence
of the wide circulation of the
paper. No one is in a better
position to appreciate the advant-
ages and the additional beauty
parks lend to a city than is Mrs.
Oohiltree. Guadalajara, like all
towns and cities in Mexioo, tak-
ing an especial pride in her beau-
tiful plazas and Alameda. The
interest in the beautifying of our
own little city, coming as it does
all the way from Mexioo, should
inspire not only the ladjes of
Weatherford to further efforts in
oivic improvement, but should
induoe the business men and city
authorities to lend their efforts in
hearty co-operation with this
commendable work the ladies
have undertaken.
George Lemley Dead,
George Lemley, an old resident
and early settler of Parker ooun-
ty, died at his home 6 miles west
of here, near Lemley Switch, this
morning at 4 o'clock. Mr. Lem-
ley was 85 years of age and on
account of his advanced age he
never reoovered from a stroke of
paralysis which affected him the
first of January. Mr. Lemley
being one of the first among Par-
ker county's early settlers, is well
known throughout the oounty.
He is survived by his wife and a
large family of boys.

He Was Smart
I Was the Fool
HE had a bunch of money left him, I had no money left
me, but I had lots of ginger in my make up, which the
rich young man was deficient in. Not long ago, 1 saw this
chag, and he was very glad to see me. I sized him up at
once, and saw that it was a case of "Fool aud his money are
soon parted." He went on to say that it was 29 years since
we met. That part was correct, but he did not say how
much better he thought himself those days than Fischer.
Friends, it never does for a fellow to feel his oats too much.
We can't tell when reverses will come. Now this fellow did
not know how to work, and if such a thing as a corn had ap-
peared in his hand, it would have almost broke his heart.
With me it was dead easy, for I never knew anything else but
work, and I traveled very well in that kind of harness.
When this young fellow's money took wings and flew away,
it left him in a mighty bad shape, and from all appearances,
he has never gotten over the shock. I never in all my life,
had anybody to give me anything. I have always worked,
and the little I have accumulated I got bjr hard licks. But
friends, as a boy, and poor in purse, I was proud. I was
never known to take off my hat to a young fop who had
money, and had his daddy to make it for him. Now boys
don't let such a little thing as not having a bunch of money
' keep you from hustling. Make up your mind that you are
going to succeed. Be a man. Know you are right, then go
ahead. If you can't succeed with assets of this kind, come
to Fiscliej's and get a little of his method, which is here for
the asking.
