A Boy’s Trpusers.
In Nashville, Tenn., the other
day a colored boy 13 years old
was brought before the juvenile
court on complaint of his parents
that he was such a “desprit bad
boy” that they could do nothing
with him. He had even threat-
ened to kill both of his parents,
and he made the threat with
such evident seriousness that
they believed he intended to do
it. When the mother was ex-
monkey of the boy to the amuse-
ment of his fellows, her own sat
isfaction and the boy’s great cha-
grin. No wonder he was ready
for treason, riot or murder. The
judge decided that he wasn’t such
a very bad boy after all and told
his mother to take him home and
try to make him repentant for
his murderous threats by buying
him the desired long trousers.
This was only a negro boy, but
how many white boys, and girls,
, too, for that matter, are made
amined before the boy was i miserable because the parents
and he has been in this vicinity
two or three weeks.
B. L. Boydston, a business
mad, received a thirty-pag4 let-
ter this morning demanding tj?e
payment of quite a sum of mon-
ey, and threatening Mr. Boyds-
ton ’s life if he did not comply
with the request. He complain-
ed to the authorities.
Sheriff Irvin received a war*
rant, and in company with Dep-
uties Rains and Miller, located
Norman about four miles from
town.
Norman’s mother lives at Rock-
wall, where ha was raised, and it
is said that he has a wife and
three children there. He is 30
or 35 years old
Sheriff Irvin said he„deeply re-
grets having to kill Norman, but
thatuhe was in the act of shooting
Deputy Sheriff Miller, when he,
Irvin and Miller fired simultan-
eously with the result as stated.
When a man writes as follows don’
you think he means it? Mr. S. G.
Williams, Powderly, Ttxas, says: “I
have suffered for years with Kidney
and Bladder trouhle, using every pre-
paration I came across and taking
many prescriptions all without re-
lief until my attention was called to

brough into court, she said that
he “alius has them tantrums ever
time we gits him new pants.”
This brought out the inquiry
from the judge as to why the boys
ill temper should be so especially
manifest upon the acquirement
of new trousers, and the mother
explained that “he wants ’em
long and he ain’t ole enough to
wear long pants—he’s jest 13.”
With that the boy was brought
into eou rt. He proved to be such
a long, gandling, overgrown
youth that the amusing sight of
him in his abbreviated trousers
was quite as much as judical dig-
nity could stand. He was evi-
dently large enough to wear
trousers as long as anybody’s,
but his mother had an idea that
it was not quite correct for 13-
year-olds to have trousers below

thing which the child dislikes I

Mr. Douglas is one of Hill coun-

very much to lose him from
Hillsboro, his host of friends will

ially benefitting himself and fam-

she has been exceedingly useful

take time to talk it out with the
child to find the reason why the
thing is distasteful, try by pati-

gence to grasp the parent’s idea
of why it is best, and then, fail
ing to do so, abandon the con-

The application of Mac Stewart
for a dension. was last Friday
granted by the comptroller’s de

on an opinion from the attorney
general’s department to the ef-
fect that, notwithstanding the
fact that Steward spent twelve
years in Mexico, ten of which
were in a Mexican prison, he is
a continuous resident of Texas,
as he was detained in Mexico by

The best April fool joke of the
season was the one played upon
the lady teachers of one of the
schools in Corpus Christi. when
the school children caused them
a most agreeable surprise by
bringing in after dinner a large
and inviting-looking cake, arounc
which the two lady teachers gath-
ered with the greatest pleasure
to do honor to the gift. But to
their surprise and disappoint-
ment, when they cut the luscious*
looking cake open they found it
stuffed full of paper scribbled all
over with the words, “April
Fool.
The greatest asset any news-
paper can have is that intangible
and yet exceedingly valuable
thing known as good will. Noth-
ing is harder to get or so easily
ost. Some publishers have
spent millions of dollars trying
to gain it, but have failed utterly.
Others have won it practically
without the expenditure of a sin-
gle dollar. The successful news-
papers of today were not born
yesterday. They were establish-
ed-most of them—many years
ago and have attained their pres-
ent position by patient, perse-
vering and intelligent hard work-
Good will is based on public con-
fidence, and confidence comes
only after trial. Hence no news-
paper can expect, under ordinary
circumstances, to have the loyal
support of its public as soon as
it is launched. It must be test-
ed in the crucible of experience;
it must prove its right to exist.
Promises count for nothing; it is
their faithful performance that
inspires confidence and wins
support. The newspaper that
touches the goal line is the one
that is honestly conducted in the
community it serves. It stands
out for political as well as moral
righteousness. It protects the
