Remarks by Prof. Gayden.
To prepare herself as a more
efficient teacher Miss Timberlake
will study, this summer, under
McDonald of Dallas hut she
does not intend remaining in Dal-
las all the time as she will teach
Summer Normal.
The Teachers’ Summer Normal
for the counties of Clay and Jack
will begin Tuesday. May 29?
1906, at Henrietta, Texas. The
session will close July 6th, 1906,
and examinations will be held at
that time for certificates.
The laws of the State make it
imperative upon teachers to at-
tend upon the sessions of summer
normals at least once every two
years.
The patrons and pupjls demand
of us more consecrated work and
more thorough Reparation. To
meet these^ -requirements we
should not' only attend our nor-
mals but should give our chosen
jf profession careful, serious
brought, and while at the normals
give them our support and hearty
co-operation, and thus be able to
return to our posts of duty each
year better equipped—filled with
enthusiasm—and thus render the
best service possible, and there-
by fulfill the purposes of our mis-
sion in this life.
Be sure to attend the Summer
Normal at Henrietta.

Populists Will Put Out Straight
Party Ticket.
The Executive Committee of
the People’s party of Jack coun-
ty met Saturday, May 26th, with
a good attendance, and by a
unanimous vote decided to put
out a straight People’s Party
ticket in Jack county.
Had several short speeches on
the line of the true principles of
the party. ■ One speaker said that
the People’s Party platform
stands for true American princi-
ples and that the party had done
good in the past, that we should
continue to instill these princi-
ples into the breast of the rising
generation. Perhaps by so doing
the future may bring forth an-
other Washington to marshal his
people at the sound of the liberty
bell. So we ought not therefore
to sleep or to slumber; vigilance
in watching and vigor in acting
is become indispensably necessa-
ry. If all of the Populists of Jack
county could have heard the short
talks they would have been con-
vinced that the People’s Party is
very much alive, and would soon
get busy and soon have before
the people of Jack county their
platform with the initiative and
referendum plank. Let’s get to
work and hustle for the grandest
cause since the days of our fore-
fathers.
The committee requests all who
wish to make the race for a coun-
ty office to announce at once.

“Alas, tills (lav thou returnest into
the Hak -bieb,” he said.
She n o&ied. “Would I could take
thee •with me, hut not yet, not yet.
Walt ti £ tSiou art a little older.”
He sighed and looked away again.
“What -weighty things absorb my
prince';" size asked.
“I 1 aerely pondered on mine own
useles. mess," he answered.
“Th( >u hast .wealth,” she began and

“W7 acre in dotli that make me use-
ful?”
“M nch can be done with gold.”
“T a-nser, what wouldst thou have

“J- would have thee be useful.”
“L •shall throw' away my lordly trap-
he said, “and become a lifter
°f ’.vater this day./’
r‘Seti,” she said sternly, putting his
hf ,nd away, “with thy people imperiled
l/y the sorcery of a wizard, with thy
i ealm desolated by the plagues of his
sending, canst thou, on whom I baina
built so much, thus lightly consider thy
uses and Ignore the things set at thy
very hand to do?”
“I have no weight with my father,"
he said soberly. “Thou knowest that
Egypt will never have peace until the
Hebrews depart. But I cannot per-
suade my father to release them, and
I cannot persuade the Israelite to con-
tent himself to stay. Thou dost de-
mand much of me if thoti dost demand
of me the impossible.”
“And thou art at tby wits’ end?” she
asked.
“A little way to go. Help me, Ta-
user. Bear with me.”
She moved closer to him and absent-
ly smoothed down the fine locks, dis-
ordered by the wind. Presently she
lifted his face an/1 said with sudden
impulsiveness:
“Dost, of a truth, believe everything
that is told thee?”
“Am I overcreduIons’?” he asked.
“Thou art. Thou beiievest this He-
brew to be honeet iu hiis show of inter-
est in his peoph;?”
“I ^annot doubt him, Ta-user. One
has but to see him to be- convinced.”
“One has but to see. him to know
that he might be coaxed into passive-
ness with that for which an Israelite
would sell his mummy1—gold!”
"Nay, nay!” Setir e tela fined. “Thou
dost wrong him! lie ie the soul of mis-
directed zeal. His is an earnestness
not to be frightened, with death nor
abated with bribes.”
She laughed a cool laugh.
“Deliver to him but the price lie
names, and the Israelitish unrest will
settle like a swarm of smoked bees.”
“Ta-user, it is ttiou that art deceiv-
ed,” Seti remonstrated. “Even the
Pharaoh does not hesitate to assert
that Moses is terribly upright. Not
even lie would dream of offering the
wizard Hebrew a peace tribute.”
Gazing down into his eyes, she said
witli sudden solemnity:
“My prince, may I grve my life into
thy hands?”
“The gods overtake me with their
vengeance if I guard it not,” he ex-
claimed. She drew him from his place
on the parajiet and led him to a seat in
a corner near the double towers. There
she s:it, and he dropped down at her
feet. He crossed his arms over her
lap and lifted his face to her.
Seti was ripe to be plucked by
treachery. His was the faith that Is
insulted by a suggestion of wariness.
“While I dwelt obscurely in the Ilak-
heb,” she began. “I was much among
the .partisans of Amou-meses. They
are friends of the Pharaoh now, so
what I tell is dead sedition. But I
heard it when it lived, and thou know-
est the penalty invited by him who
listens to criticism of the king.. At-
tend me, then, for the story is short.
“The history of Moses is an old tale
to thee. Thy noble graiidsire's first
queen, Neferari Tbermuthis, adopted
the Hebrew, and when she died he
shared in the allotment of her treasure.
But Moses was an exile in Midian at
the time, and his share was left with
Sliaemus, then the heir, to be given
over to the foster son when he should
return. But Sliaemus died, and all thy
father's older brothers, so the gracious
Meneptah came to wear the crown.
To him fell the guardianship of the
Hebrew’s treasure till what time he
should return out of Midian. Moses
hath returned. Hath thy father deliv-
ered to him his inheritance?”
Seti’s face flamed, but before he
could speak she went on: “Not so; not
one copper weight. It lies untouched
iu the treasury! Thine august sire does
not use it because he hath wealth more
than he can spend. But it is the He-
brew’s, and if it were delivered into
his hands it would redeem Egypt,
know it. There, it is done. My life Is
in thy hands.”
The prince looked at her with wide
eyes, his cheeks flushed, his lips si-
lent.
“Wouldst thou have proof?” she con-
tinued recklessly. “Seek out Hotep,
who hath beeu keeper of the records
at Pitbom, and ask him.”
“Did he tell thee?” Seti demanded.
“Nay, I learned it from another
source, not in the palace.” The prince
lapsed into silence, his eyes averted.
Ta-user regarded him intently. Sud-
denly he raised his head.
“Dost thou know the amount of his
share?” he asked.
“It Is but a moderate part of the
queen’s fortune, since each of'the kiug's
children by his many women was in-
cluded.”
“He shall have it,” Seti said almost
impatiently. “Out of mine own wealth
he shall have it, not as a bribe—he
would not have it so—but because it Is
his.”
She caught his hands to her breast
and cried out in delight.
“And I shall be thy lieutenant, and
none shall know of it save thee and
me.”
“Nay, there is danger in this,” he
said gently, “and I would not imperil
thee. Already thou hast overstepped
ed and was pleased.
“Have it thy way, Ta-user,” he said,
with hesitation in his words, while he
continued to gaze helplessly into her
compelling eyes.
She laughed and kissed him. “I will
see thee again soon.” Putting him back
from her, she descended the stairway.
Straight through the corridors to-
ward the royal apartments she went.
There was an elasticity in her step that
spoke of exultation.
The Ilathors were indulging her be-
yond reason.
A soldier of the royal guard paced
outside the doorway of the king’s
apartments. Ta-user flung him a smile,
and, passing him without a word of
leave asking, smiled again and disap-
peared through the door.
Meneptah, who sat alone, raised his
head from the scroll he was laborious-
ly spelling. If he had meant to resent
the intrusion the impulse died within
him at the charming obeisance the prin-
cess made.
As she arose at his sign Har-hat en-
tered. Ta-user came near to the king,
smiling triumphantly at the fan bear-
er.
‘The gods sped my feet,” she said,
“and I am here first. Hold thy peace,
noble liar-hat. Mine is the flrst au-
dience.”
Having reached the king’s side, she
dropped on her knees and folded her
hands on the arm of his chair.
“A boon, O shedder of light! So
much thou owest me. Behold, I came
to thee on the hope of thy promises.
What have I won therefrom? Naught
save, perchance, the smiles of Egypt at
my disappointment.”
Wilt thou reproach me, Ta-user, for
my son's willfulness?” was Meneptah’s
tactless reply.
Ta-user shot an amused glance at
the discomfited countenance of Har-
hat and went on.
“Nay, O my sovereign. I do but wish
to incline thine ear to me. Say first
thou wilt grant me my boon. I do not
ask for thy crown or thy son or for an
army or treasure or anything but that
which thou wouldst gladly give me be-
cause of thy just and generous heart”
“Thou hast my word, Ta-user.”
“Give me ear, then,” she continued.
“Thou hast among thy ministers a no-
ble genius, the Architect Mentu”—
The king broke in with a dry smile.
“Wouldst have him for a mate?”
She shook her head till the emeralds
pendent from the fillet on her forehead
clinked together. Nothing could have
been more childlike thau the pleased
smile on her face.
“Nay, nay, he would not have me,”
she protested. “But he hath a son.”
“He had a sou, but he is dead,” the
king answered.
“Not so! He is in prison, where thy
counselor, the wicked, unfeeling, jeal-
ous, rapacious Har-hat, hath entombed
him!”
Har-hat sprang forward as the king
lifted an amazed and angry face.
“Back!” she cried, motioning at him
with her full arm. “It is time the Ha-
thors overtook thee, thou ineffable
knave!”
“I protest!” the fan bearer cried,
losing his temper.
“Enough of this play,” Meneptah
said sternly. “Go on with thy tale, Ta-
user. I would know the truth of this.”
“Thou wilt not learn it from the
princess,” Har-hat exclaimed.
“Ah!” Ta-user ejaculated, a world of
innocence, surprise and wounded feel-
ing in the word.
“Thy words do not become thee, Har-
hat,” Meneptah said. The fan bearer
closed his lips and gazed fixedly at the
princess.
She drooped her head and went on
in a voice low with hurt.
“The gods judge me if my every
word is not true! Har-hat imprisoned
I'm because the gallant young man

All the pretty tricks of the manufac-

Black voiles and veilings for dressier

POPULAR FABRICS.
Bridesmaids’ hats, with strings, scarfs
of lace or tulle and tiny bands, with
bows at the sides, are picturesque fea-

Voiles are perennial favorites and are

SERGE MOURNING COSTUME.
just removed from shirt waist suits
black pongee is a favorite fabric, as is
soft dull silk.
“Best” mourning gowns are made of
crepe de chine, trimmed either with
self tucks, shlrrlngs and plaitings or
with a little dull jet or chiffon.
White crape is considered very chic
and smart mourning for evening wear,
with never a touch of black.
Sleeves on mourning costumes are
generally of three-quarter length rath-
er than the popular elbow, and long
sleeves appear upon many of the hand-
somest confections.
Mourning hats are coquettish and
display the all prevalent tilts, and
sharp lines are softened with quantities
of tulle. Some of the lightest and pret-
tiest of the summer mourning hats are
made entirely of malines. Crape makes
attractive little toques laid In soft folds
when adorned with rosettes of the
same material.
Buttons and braids in mourning are
all of dull finish, and the ribbons used
should be grosgrain. For girdles black
and white belting is mucii liked.
The mourning gown illustrated is of
black serge. The skirt has a triple hip
yoke, from which the material graceful-
ly falls at sides and back iu soft lines.
The front width is in panel effect. Nar-
row braid trims the skirt and bloused
jacket. The smart neck trimming and
collar are of crape.
HAT OF MORDORE STRAW.
white voiles are plaided In moderate
lines, but the design is obtained by the
weaving, not the coloring, alternating
lines of every sheer and heavier weave
producing the effect. The same idea is
developed iu grays and mode colors,
and sometimes over the one tone plaid
surface will run a two or three Inch
check marked off in the finest hair line
of some delicate pastel eolor.
Pongees of all kinds In their natural
shades are modish this season. An ex-
clusive shop is showing Imported

loved the maiden whom Har-hat would
have taken for his harem.”
Meneptah’s face blazed. “Go on,”
he said sharply.
“The fan bearer had some little right
on his side, for the young man had
committed sacrilege in carving a statue
and had stolen the maiden away and
hidden her when Har-hat would have
taken her. The maiden Is an Israelite,
and her hiding place is known to this
day only by herself and her unhappy
lover. Now comes the villainy, O thou
short of temper,” she continued, look-
ing at the fan bearer.
“Thy father, O shedder of light, the
incomparable Pharaoh who reigns In
Osiris, gave Mentu a signet. ■ When
Kenkenes was overtaken and thrust
into prison, he sent this signet to thee,
O my sovereign, with a petition for his
release and for the maiden’s freedom.
The writing and the signet came into
safety for Egypt's sake and mine.
More than this I will not let thee do.”
She pouted and, putting him away
from her, arose and left him. He fol-
lowed her and took her hands.
A confederate thou must have,” she
complained, “and whom dost thou
trust more thau Ta-user?”
“Thou dost hurry me in my plan mak-
ing,” he remonstrated mildly. “Mayhap
I shall choose Hotep.
She flung up her head, her face the
picture of dismay.
“Nay. nay, not Hotep! Of all thy
world not Hotep!” she exclaimed.
' He lifted his brews in amazement.
“Surely thou dost not question his
fidelity—his power?”
“Nay, but dost thou not guess what
he will do? Thou child! Abet thee!
Nay, he would set his foot upon thy
plan and foil thee at once with his
politio hand.”
“Hotep will o!>ey as I command, that
thou knowest,” he said, with dignity.
“Thou wilt not reach the point of
command with him,” she vehemently
insisted. “He would catch thine Intent
ere thou hadst stated it and would
make thee aghast at thyself in a twin-
kling by his smooth reasoning and
vivid auguries. Nay, if thou art to
have thy way in this, 1 wash my hands
of it. We are as good as undone.”
She turned away from him, but he
followed her contritely.
“I submit,’’ he said helplessly. '‘.Ad-
vise me, but I—nay, ask me not to en-
danger thee, Ta-user.”
She slipped her arm about bis neck
and pressed close to him.
“Nay, Seti, tliou dost overestimate
the peril. The Hebrew will not betray
us, and who else will know of it? I

though the signet commanded him in
the name of the holy one.” Her voice
lowered with awe and dismay at his
unregeueracy. “Kenkenes is still in
prison.”
“Now, by the gods, Har-hat,” Menep-
tah exclaimed angrily, “J would not
have dreamed such baseness in thee!”
The fan bearer was stupefied with
wrath and astonishment. Words ab-
solutely refused to come to him. Ta-
user accused him with the wide eyes
of fearless righteousness. Presently
she went on: »
“Already hath he languished eight
months in prison. His offense against
the gods and against the laws of the
iaud hath been expiated. I would have
thee set him free now, O Meneptah,
that he may return to his love and
comfort her.”
Meneptah rudeped for the reed pen.
“Hold!” cried Har-hat,
“Tliou dost forget thyself, good Har-
hat,” the princess said, with dignity.
“Thou spc ikcst with thy sovereign.”
"But 1 will be beard!” he exclaimed
violently. "Hear mo, I pray thee, son

breathlessly, “there Is no word upon it

crime! Shall we invoke the king in the
blameless name of the holy one and
demand forgiveness in the name of

Meneptah frowned with perplexity.
But while he pondered Ta-user drew
near to him and said to him very soft-
ly:
“If his words be true, O my sover-
eign, one lovely Israelite is as service-
able ns another. The young man loves
this maiden. Doubt it not. He is a

The king frowned more and stroked
his cheek.
“Thine anger should be abated by

retorted. „

wrote.
“Now promise that the signet shall
go hack to Mentu,” she continued.
“As thou wilt, Ta-user,” the king re-
plied.
She caught up the roll, hesitated for
a moment and then kissed his cheek
deliberately and was gone.
