riding mules on trains and walking.
More than 4000 persons including more
than 800 children attended the picnic
which lasted two days and the orchestra
played until the musicians' tongues fig-
uratively hung out. It was a red letter
day for Bourbon county and shows why
the people of Paris. Ky. in referring to
K. V. Simms. invariably say. "Ed F.
Slmms of I'aris and Houston'' and they
rather begrudge the "of Houston."
Mr. Slmms home in Bourbon county
ntar -Paris is one of the most beautiful
in Kentucky and recently he enlarged
his place there slightly by purchasing
"( Menwood" a beautiful p'ai e adjoining
"Xalapa farm." for $1 "0.000. There he
has some of the best blooded horses and
cuttle in Kentucky for he has the native
Kentuckian's love for good horses.
Most of his time is now spent in New
Yutk. as he leaves the operating end of
the business to an organization of com-
petent men whom hi- has uttnu tcd to his
work.

associated with it Hint there is scarcely
to be found an oil man on the Ku'f coast
who docs not know him personally or who
is not I'civor.ally acquainted witli some-
thing that "lid ttimms" has' done.
Many oil men enter the industry with
little money and strike it lucky to use a
popular plirasi' but K. K. Simms entered
H talinly. wilii aforethought and a lurvre

now in iiis prime so we'll leave his age to

lather was a wealthy Kenlmkv gentleman
cf the old Southern type and sered in the

senate as a st naloi front KenUu k during
ihe war. K. F. Siniins was ;ivi n a ikmI

law school. Main persons who have been
"up aeainst" him in lose deals have won-
dered where h ceived bis training
which detected legal trips in contracts
etc. not knowing that he was a well
trained attorney.
He was attracted to the coastal region
by the Spindle Topiboom and came to
lieauinont to enter Into the thick of It.
The oil game was naturally fascinating
to him -as it is to all men who iove big
stakes mill t"g chances. He made some I

ARTISTIC
WALLPAPERS
IN THE HOME
Beautifully papered homes afford a satisfied feeling to
mother wife or daughter that is worth much to the happiness
of the home circle. Every one likes to have things look bright
and attractive when entertaining friends or acquaintances and
dingy somber hued walls don't reflect much good cheer.
Wall Papers like pictures reflect the ability of the artist
or designer. They are good bad and indifferent as generally
sold and it requires some wall paper training to distinguish
between the merits of patterns and to determine on proper
color schemes. We have salesmen thoroughly qualified to
advise or suggest and they are backed up by a stock of modern
Wall Papers in all grades that are seldom found under one
roof.

A Royal Stock of Good
Silks
For years we have been recognized as "The Silk
Store of Houston" and never in the history of
our Silk Department have we had such larg'-
stocks as at present.
Here has been gathered
with extreme care the
choicest Silks from the
foremost makers in
America. There is no Silk
provided it is in fashion that
you could ask for here in
vain; there is no color pro-
vided it is in demand but
that is shown in ever wanted
weave ; So you women who
have in the past found your ideal
in Silks at Foley Bros can rest
assured that with our present
stocks we will still further main-
tain our supremacy and uphold
our title as the "Silk Store of
Houston."

This is really a Satin season

are Satins in all their variations
of weave and finish; Satins in all
their suppleness and richness;
Satins in all their autumn color-
ings. Prominent are
