This is the way George J. Har-

Beaumont, Texas, June 29.—
Dancing is ice cream and cake
for Miss Matilda Stocktsen, Beau-
mont waitress, it was shown by
word received today that she had
broken the world’s long distance
shuffling record at Nederland,
near here by a mere margin of
24 hours.
After dancing 241 hours, or
from 9 o’clock Monday, June 18,
until 10 o’clock last night and
heating the previous record of 217
hours Matilda 'skipped off the
floor, “smiling and fresh,” ac-
cording to the report.
Today she is resting up a bit

ered a fair indication of the
growth of this county and sec-
tion. This will give Lubbock
County a total of 27 brick school
buildings for a county whose pop-
ulation, according to last Feder-
al census, is 11,069, but which,
based upon scholastic enrollment,
is something more than 15,000.
There are 26 districts in the
county, 10 of them being inde-
pendent districts, and 11 of them
having brick buildings. Seven
additional districts have voted
school bonds and will have new
buildings ready for the opening
of school.
More than three months before
the opening of the school term
every teacher for the county is
employed.

Come to Cottle County.
Most of us have eyes that tee faults in others but
become blind when we face the mirror. The greatest
fault we can possess It to be conscious of none.
He who is conscious of his faults is gladly forgiven
for most of them, for men like their kind. He who is
without fault is lonely.
Men are sometimes loved more for their faults than
their' virtues. Fault is excess. It is as much a fault to
over-give as to over-get. Yet it is the generous hand,
not the grasping hand that is loved.
There are passing failures in this old world that in the
light of time lift up as permanent triumphs. That which
seems to be a faint today may blossom into an abiding
virtue tomorrow.
Folks are facts
folks to grasp. Ti.
tions somewhere.
Get out the best that there is in everybody and accept
the limitations that we cannot change or control. That
is the right game in life.
An old proverb tells us, “He is lifeless who is
faultless.” c
We easily forget those faults which are known only to
ourselves and while we are indifferent to our good quali-
ties, we keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our
fault1- until we at last come to look upon them as
virtu.. . That is weakness and weakness is a fault to be
feared.
The greatest virtue is not the freedom from faults but
is the hardest truth for most
none of us without our limita-
the strength, the will, the courage, the character to over-
come them.
Among the commonest classification of common faults
are cruelty, constant nagging, faultfinding and selfish-
ness. These make disagreeable men and disagreeable
men make a disagreeable world.
Life is what vou make it and you make is as you think
it
The first sympton of fault Infection is to be unaware
of its presence.
Cheerfulness, ambition, sincerity, and brotherly feeling
are the best medicines—and surest cures.
One fault never justifies another. Some faults in-
dulged in are merely the keys that open the gates to
permit greater faults to enter. A wilful fault has no
excuse and deserves no pardon. Bad men excuse their
fault, while good men attempt to get rid of them.
The foolish man’s fault is the wise man’s lesson. The
weak man who tries to justify his faults by pointing to
the lonesome defect in a neighbor is like the sieve that re-
minded the needle that it had a hole in its head.
Nothing is worth being named a fault except that
which injures yourself or harms your helpfulness to
others. He your own physician—diagnose yourself care-
fully—seek out vour fault germs ruthlessly—do not rest
until you kill them. And the way to kill them is to gain
that strength and self control that can give a helping
hand to others.
