Mariette. This is where he stay-
s'I® while making his excavations.
After we had rested an hour we
visited the tombs of the Sacred
Bulls They were embalmed an
placed in high sarcophagi in ditf-
ent compartments of subterranean
| galleries. There were twenty-four
! of them and they were discovered
| by Mariette after being hidden
away for ages by the desert sands.
Sahara is now nothing but a
desert waste; there is a tomb of a
very famous Egyptian priest and
a few pyramids remaining. From
here we went to the ancient site
of Memphis, which is now nothing
but a beautiful palm grove. It
was probably the oldest city of
Egypt, the capital of Menes, the
iirst Egyptian King,founded 5,000
B C. lierevis a colossal statue of
Rameses II, 42 feet long, which
the government hopes to move to j
Cairo.
We then went to a small village
and took the train back to Cairo,
glad to exchange our camels tor a
sear in the cars—the novelty had
worn off and we were tired. Our
hotel and dinner looked good to
us
We left Cairo at 9 a m. for Al-
exander, reaching there at 1:40 in
the afternoon, lunched and then
went aboard our boat for Athens.
Alexander is the second town of
Egypt, strongly fortified and one
of the most important trading
places on the Mediterranean. It
was founded in 331 B.C. by Alex-
er der the Great. Twenty centur-
ies ago it ranked as one of the
largest and most brilliant cities in
the world. It was for centuries
the principal seat of Grecian
learning. Here Alexander the
Great was buried in a sarcophagus
of pure gold. All of its antiquity
is gone and it is now a handsome,
modern city.

MR. MAN: How About Your Estate?
With TIMES depressed, PEACE up in the air, WAR woeful-
ly plentiful on terra firma, BANK ACCOUNT!!!!? and PLENTY
tagged with the ever present C. O. D. — let me ask—Is your es-
tate sufficiently7 safeguarded to successfully resist the vicissi-
tudes and perturbations of War Times.
Why not let the Aetna Life Insurance Co., take the risk of
protecting you, your business and your family by taking out a
Five Year Convertible Term Policy, with the option of convert-
ing it into any form of insurance at the end of five years, with-
out medical re-examination.
Particulars plainly, precisely, perfectly and philosophically
preached pertaining to this practical, protective policy by
L. F. MERL, Agent,
Pearsall, Texas.
“War is H~” But to die without Insurance in War Times is worse.

PEARSALL VS. YANCEY.
The baseball team of the Pear-
sal) High School invaded Yancey
Friday and returned home with
a victory of 12 to 6. Yancey made
all of her runs in the first two inn-
ings, on account of Little not be-
ing warmed up. From then on,
however, they could do nothing
with him—he had ail the heavy
sluggers at his mercy.
Lewis, Pearsall’s first baseman,
opened the scoring for Pearsall in
the second inning, followed by
Brooks. John Cochran, left field-
er was the star outfielder. He
robbed Yancey time after time of
hijs that would have meant runs.
Franks was easily the star infield-
er. Hudson also did njee work
on short. For several innings
Little and Lewis were all the in-
fielders necessary, as Yancey never
got a ball out of their reach.
Pearsall rallied in the sixth and
put the game on ice by scoring
six runs.
The return game will be played
in Pearsall this afternoon. The fol-
lowing is the score by innings:
Yancey 2 2 10 10 0
Pearsall 0 2 0 1 3 6
Batteries: Yancey: Jones and
Nixon; Pearsall: Horton and
Little. Time of game, one hour
and fifteen minutes ***

was given Saturday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. F.G.Smith
by the Baptist Young People’s

with guests at an early hour, in
various and appropriate disguises,
which completely concealed the
identity of nearly everyone. Real
jack o’lanterns lighted the front
porch and burned* in different
parts of the living room, while
apples were suspended by strings
in the doorways and the dining
table was heaped with sandwiches
and cookies with a large bow] of
punch in the center.
Before unmasking each guest
was stood in the center of the
room while the others endeavored
to guess his or her name, with
more or less success. Later,
blowing out candles, chewing a
string divided equally by a marsh-
mallow, and various other games
and tricks were played, ending
with a buffet luncheon from the
good things on the dining table.
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the
occasion, and entered fully into
the spirit of the evening.
