we have found out. The Leader office
ie right next door to a brewery depot
and they get .the kegs over on our
.from walk occasionally—but the
trouble is, they are empty when they
place them there.-tOrange Leader.
Brother Ford slipped again in his
speech. Doubtless he meant to say
that the kegs are entirely empty when
they are taken away from the Leader
office. It is now easy to account for
the soothing influence of that but-
termilk the Leader has been telling
about.—Palacios Beacon.
Here, here,. you old sinner, you’l
be getting the Leader editor into bad
standing directly—and *hat ju9t when
people are beginning to think he's
pretty decent sort of fellow, after all

The Leader believes that every man
whb attends a church service in Or-
ange would heartily commend a move-
ment among the ladies that would re
suit in the fair sex removing their
hats during such services.
It is manifestly impossible for a
person to see a speaker forty or fifty
feet away from him—or even ten feet
away—if he is penned up behind a
row of broad brimmed hats, and it is
also manifestly impossible to enjoy
a sermon or a song if you cannot see
the speaker or the singer.
Ladies attend the . theaters and if
they wear their hats, they always re-
move them before the curtain rises
and every one in the house thus has
an unobstructed view.
Can they not be just as considerate
in church?
4
Is it not just as important that
people who attend church services
should have an unobstructed;, view
as when they attend a theatrical per-
formance?
One of the women’s societies
Orange resolved a short time ago
begin a reform of this kind in their
church and the announcement was
received with much pleasure—but
they have been a little slow about
putting the resolution into effect.
We trust that, for the benfit
all church attendants, and for the
good that may be accomplished, the
ladies will take new courage and de
termine to set an example that will
be recognized with acclaim and ap
preciated by all—both men and wom-
en.
In this connection, the following
from the last issue of the McGregor
Mirror, will be of interest:
“Considerable surprise was noticed
at the morning service at the Metho-'
dist church last Sunday when the
pastor announced that he had been
requested by a large number of young
ladies and married ladies to sHy that
they had passed a resolution to not
wear hats during church services.
The resolution also carried with it
request for other ladies to do tik»whk
and a vote was taken-of those present
_..tO the'irr intention in the matter
All but two ladies voted t6 leave off
their “sky pieces” during the preach
ing hour.
At the night service, when the
Church was well filled, the ladies
wearing hats sat on the rear seats,
which was indeed very kind.
It was. a matter of comment the
following day that the many ladies
who attended church oh Sunday night
without hats had the appearance of
being far more comfortable and “good
to look upon" than those adorned
with fuss, feathers, flowers and ab-
normal creations in the millinery
world.
Should the men wear big hats to
Church and keep them on during ser-
vices the ladies could see how ridicu-
lous is the custom of wearing head
dress during religious services. And
since the women have long since
shown so much respect to opera house
managers that their hats are always
removed before the play begins, it
does seem thtiy would willingly show
as much regard for the house of God.
Many towns of Texas have organ-
fated what is known as the “Hatless
Brigade’ among the lady church goers,
and the Mirror is glad to know that
the new custom is to be introduced
here"
The Alpine Business Men’s Club
raised $18$ for preparation and pub-
lication of a page illustrated write-up
in the forthcoming special edition of
the San AntoUio Express, which
to be the largest ever issued by
Southern" newspaper.—Alpine Xva
lajiche.
If the Business Men’s Club would
spend that money with their local
paper for a write-up and for papers
to be properly distributed, Alpine
would get better returns on the in-
vestment, in our humble opinion.
Orange county has a fairly good
road through to the Neches river,
striking that stream at Mansfield’s
Ferry, but the Jefferson county com-
missioners have been a little slow
about making any improvements to
the road on the other side of the
river. If this was improved - there'
would be a good automobile road
available the greater part of the time
for traveling between Orange. Beau-
mont arid Port Arthur.
Stump, of the Port Arthur News,
and Ford, of the Orange Leader, are
not in love with each other, according
to the cross firing in the two papers
—but they are both town boosters.
Nacogdoches Sentinel.
You are wrong We love Stump
like brother—that’s the reason we
labor so earnestly to keep him in the
straight and narrow path. But he
will stray off occasionally and has
to be chided for,it.
Everything looks mighty pretty,
don’t you think? Trees and shrub-
bery are green and fresh looking:
flowers are budding and blooming
and the grasses have made a carpet
for the whole earth Spring time in
old East Texas is fine!—Nacogdoches
Sentinel.
You bet, everything looks mighty
pretty. ' The way the wind blows is
caution.
In Beautiful Orange, Easter Sunday
was bright and haljny, straw hats and
summer clothes were very much in
evidence, but up in New York the
weather was so cold that Niagara
Palis froze over completely and the
water ceased to flow P$i> i see how
anybody ca.i be content to live in
such a country as that when there is
so much room and so many oppor-
tunities in the fair Southland.
The Easter number of the Orange
Daily Leader is one of the handsomest
and most interesting papers that has
reached our desk. Editor Ford not
only knows how to get out a good
paper, but does it.—Bonham News.

The commission form of govern
raent as provided for in the bill pass
ed by the Thirty-first legislature
looks mighty good to us, and we are
anxious to see Orange get into line
right away and be the first small
city in the state to avail itself of the
new law. Stump says Port Arthur
willing for Orange to have a try
at it first and then if she gets along
alright Port Arthur will follow suit.

County Judge O. R Sholars left
yesterday morning for Beaumont in
response to communications received
from Beaumont, stating that a man
the name of Dillon and his two
little girls were jg destitute circum-
stances. JvS
These pco^ie are camped on the
Otange county side of the Neches
river and Judge Sholars spent a couple
of hours talking to Dillon yesterday
forenoon, and ascertained that" the
man had a fixed income and also fish-
ed for his living and that he was
hoarding his two little girls in Beau-
mont, an dthat they were not charity
subjects and had not been. Dillon
states that he is compelled to live an

The Orange County Oil company
yesterday received from the Union

There were a few parts to the rig
that did not arrive and the coin

sary.
Pity tha poor man who has an In-
come of alx or eight or ten thousand
dollars a year. He baa more worriee

lars a day. One of these poor men

that amount
“Take my daughter’s case, for la
stance. Of course she muet have a
fine education and every advantage
that » father who makee as much
money as I do can provide. Did It
ever occur to you how mucb It coete
to afford such advantages to a young
lady of eighteen or nineteen? I eent
my daughter to Vassar. and, as befit-
ting a girl of her age and station In
life, I rigged her out with a complete
equipment In the way of dress. What
do you suppose that girl did? Within
two months she pnt on 13 pounds In
weight. Not a thing In her wardrobe
would fit her. Well, my wife bought a
new outfit complete for her. That girl
•f ours came home for the Christmas
holidays, a few weeks later, with most
of her garments held together by
strings. 8he had outgrown even the
second lot. Now, I’ve got to buy a
third outfit for her.
“Then there's that yonng hopeful
who'* my son and heir—a flue, bright
youngster and the Joy of#the house-
hold. He had a minor sort of an ail-
ment lately and It waa necessary to
perform a slight operation I have a
brother who ta the chief examiner In
one of the large life Insurance com-
panies He la a bachelor, and he
thinks a great deal of my boy. When
he heard that my eon would have to
have an operation be Insisted that
none but the very best surgeons
should have the case So we got the
best surgeon la the city. On account
of my brother’s position and Influence
we got him at half rates. We also had
several eminent gentlemen In con-
sultation They charged only half the
regular rate. The operation required
the administration of ether. My
brother, from his long experience, did
not deem It safe to have the anaes-
thetic administered without having
my son’s heart examined first by a
noted heart specialist. He only charged
half price. Then my brother would
not oousent to having the ether given
except by e specialist In that line, and
of course ti had to have the most ex-
pert and acgbmpllahed of trained
nurses They were the only onva who 1
charged full price
My boy's heart was all right I am
delighted to know It on such eminent
authority But I'm afraid mine Is not.
It baa been weak ever elnce 1 received
those 'half price' bills.

F Christensen, a 19-year oW Spokane I
boy, has received a broriVe medal and
a Certificate of honor from the Royal
Humane Society of Great Britain, of
which King Edward is patron and
the Prince of Wales is president, for |
bravery in saving C. T. Berglund from
drowning in the Kettle river near I
Midway, B. C., where the two boys I
and L. Brandt were bathing the after-1
noon of July 20, 1906. Berglund waS j
the first to enter the water, hut as ]
he could not swim, he was swept off
his feet by the rushing water and
sank in the deep water. Christensen |
plunged into the stream and i^as soon
near the drowning boy, when Berg- I
lund seized him and both went down.-1
A battle followed and Berglund was f
unconscious and Christensen was ex-
hausted when they reached the river [
bank. Christensen worked over his
companion until ten o'clock that night
and restored him to consciousness.
Brandt was on the opposite bank, un-
able to reach the pair. The rescue
was brought to the attention of the
British society by D. Tamblyn, a Ca- j
nadian official.
