Some weeks ago Bob Downey,
editor and publisher of the Cop-
peras Cove New Era, said
through his paper that he had en-
joyed The Leader for many
years, and particularly because
it said “so many nice things in
so many different ways about
people.”
It has always been my idea
that if any good could be done,
any kindness could be shown,
any pleasant word spoken, that
while we live and about the peo-
ple we know, is the time and
proper place to do these things,
for as the good Book says time
soon passes and we are no more.
More than forty years ago,
about the same time, and in the
same nighborhood in Coryell
oounty, in the rocky hills, among
the spreading live oak trees, two
male children were born of par-
ents of good lineage, who were
assisting in the development of
of one of the richest common-
wealths of the universe. There
was nothing remarkable about
these boys. They were neigh-
bors and close friends, playmates
and schoolmates.
Early in life they joined them-
selves with the religious people,
one being of the Baptist and the
other of the Methodist belief,
and each became prominent and
useful in his respective station.
Through their own efforts
largely, these young men edm
cated themselves and choosing
medicine as their profession have
made it their life work to minis-
ter to the physical ills of human-
ity, though each of them will ad-
minister spiritual comfort when
the occasion demands.
One is probably the most pop-
ular country doctor in the west
and is as popular with his broth-
er physicians as he is with his
patients, or his pastor and church
people. There is no such thing
as jealousy or envy in his nature,
and he works alike for the rich
and the poor, often spending
nights together without rest that
he may properly minister to and
relieve the distressed. He is
contented with his lot and enjoys
a laugh as well as any man liv-
ing.
The othfer young man is at the
head of one of the greatest in-
stitutions in Texas for the relief
of the afflicted, and numbers his
patients annually by the thou-
sands, the afflicted coming to
him from all parts of the state
and from many other states.
Every patient is hia friend, and
he has the hearty endorsement
of the business men of the city
of his residence as well as the
good will and earnest prayers of
hundreds who have been treated
under his direction.
These men are both Texans,
and while educated, refined,
skilled in their profession and
successful beyond their most
sanguine hopes when boys, are,
to use a common expression, as
“plain as an old shoe.” Ap-
proachable by any sufferer and
in hearty sympathy with the af-
flicted, each is ever ready for
consultation and to give proper
advice.
Do you recognize these men?
Many readers, no doubt, have
before they reaoh this paragraph.
If you have not been able to
identify them, here they ara-r-
Joe E. Dildy of Lampasas, who
aspires to nothing beyond being
a good country doctor, and J.
W. Torbett of Marlin, whose as-
piration is to relieve suffering
humanity of the ohronic troubles

It may not be my privilege to
place a flower upon the grave of
either of these men, or to write
of their efficiency and work for
humanity, because they are
young men and I am going down
the hill of life, hence these few
words of appreciation from me
now.

Moses, two boys well known in
this place,where they ware raised,
being sons of Mr. and Mrs. Mar-
tin Moses, helped to break state
records at the intercollegiate
meet held in Houston the latter
part of last week. Andy especi-
ally did well, lowering the state
record for the 440-yard dash.
The Houston Post gives the fol-
lowing account:
“The shattering of eight State
records, the equalling of a ninth,
and the unofficial breaking of. a
tenth were the achievements of
Texas intercollegiate athletes on
Rice field Friday afternoon. Ih
only four of the 14 events did the
marks of previous meets go
through unscathed.
“Texas took the meet for the
fifth consecutive year, with 71
1-3 points to a total of 54 2-3 for
the other five teams competing.
A. and M. was second with 36
1-3, Rice third with 7 1-3, Bay-
lor fourth with 7, Simmons fifth
with 4, and S. M. U. sixth with 1.
Texas led also in record break-
ing three, and equalling a fourth,
and Rice breaking one.
A. Moses of A. and M. staged
the most spectacular feature of
the meet with his victorious fin-
ish. in the relay race. Long, Lit-
tlefied and Robertson, the first
three runners for the Longhorns,
gained a lead of near 25 feet on
Rogers, Fry and R. L. Moses of
A.andM., the Farmers being sec-
ond on each lap, with Simmor^s
third and Rice fourth. On the
last quarter, A. Moses was pitted
against Captain Morris of Texa-s,
who had earlier in the day low-
ered the State record for the half
mile. The Aggies made up the
handicap with which he started
by the time they were half way
round the truck, and left the
Texas captain five feet behind on
the stretch.
“440-yard dash—A. Moses', A.
and M., first; Lang, Texas, sec-
ond; Robertson, Texas, third.
Time, 50 4-5. Record made in
1912 by Hoover, Texas, 51 4-5.”

A Kansas farmer, refcurninj
home late at night, saw a ligk
moving about in the farm yard
When he investigated he foun<
a neighbor’s farm hand carrying
a lantern.
“What are you doing here?’
demanded the farmer,
“Courtin’ sir,” replied the farn
hand.
“Courtin’, courtin’, with a lan-
tern? Huh, you fool, I nevei
used a lantern when I went £
courtin’!”
“No, sir,” replied the farrr
hand as he moved off, “we can
ail see you didn’t.”—Harper’s
Weekly.
