THE POOR DAILY HARD.
The daily bard, it seems to us,
Deserves to have a raise in pay,
Who never starts a jingle thus:
"Maud Muller on a summer day."
—Cincinnati Enquirer.
How happy all we bards would be
If substitutes for these they’d find us,
And uIno for the parody
Of: "Lives of great men all remind us."
—Detroit Free Press.
And there’s another hard to whom
We’d gladly send a bigger check,
If he’d forget to tell us how
"The boy stood on the burning deck.”

THE TEXAS SHAME.
There ure four in the county jail who are of
unsound mind. With one of them there is a pen-
chant, a perfect mania, for seeing flames. Account
of this he has set several houses on fire—merely
for the pleusure of seeing them burn. How this
longing was ever acquired by him, or what is the
primary cause of it, is not known, but it is said to
be hereditary, with all that might be conjectured
along that line by intelligent readers, it not being
necessary to dilate on it here. That he is danger-
ous cannot be denied. That he burns houses for
nny criminal reason cannot be substantiated, but
that he sees them go up in smoke for the fun of
it is undeniable, and so he must be denied his lib-
erty. His companions have various hallucina-
tions, and every one of them is disheveled like
unto the man who we read of in the Good Book
who came from among the tombs possessed of
devils that were cast into the swine.
A Shame and Disgrace.
It is a shame and disgrace to the State of
Texas that we have no place but this one for in-
carcerating criminals, in which to place our de-
mented while they are waiting for some kindred
soul with like affliction in one of the state asy-
lums to die and make room for them. Is tb*+
putting it too strong? If so. try your hand on
coining adjectives and manufacturing phrases
that will soften the story. You cannot ameliorate
conditions with all of your flowery rhetoric, we
are sure!
Think of this matter, not in the first person,
but say the second person. Just say it was one
of your loved ones. Do you think you would like
for one of your brothers whom you loved to be
confined in such a place, simply because the spark
of reason had forsaken its accustomed abode in
his mind? One example is all that is required to
close the argument.
There is but one answer: Texas must make
provisions to stop these conditions. They are no
fault of the officers. They must do their duty.
Peoj-le who are dangerous must be confined, and
where is a county officer going to find such a
place except in a felon's cell for those who must
have their liberty denied them in order that the
rest of mankind may feel secure?
The American cotton markets, including
the Clarksville mi rket, were all closed Tues-
day on account cf the birthday of C. Col-
umbus and the opening of the Red Ri\er
County Fair.—Cl irkaville Times.
That’s one on the Times. Columbus never
had a birthday: he just happened along about
that date and discovered America, the biggeHt
dny’s work that ary human ever attempted.—
Bonham Favorite.
We have found people in Fannin county wh t
would nrgue with you all dny that the world is
flat, but we thought surely the newspapers be-
lieved in Columbus.—Clarksville Times.
Some people seem to have a great fear of
what they call a Bailey machine in Texas.
Why of course. The muchine is here and she
works like a charm, but he didn’t make the
machine. The people constitute it and it is all
the machine he h.ts ever needed. He has al-
ways gone to them for what he wanted and
they stood by him. It sure is a powerful ma-
chine.—Hamilton Herald.
Another good thing about the "so-calle 1"
Bailey machine is that it is always in good work-
ing order. Nothing ever goes wrong with the
carburetter or spark plugs.
Did the man in Fannin county who raised
potatoes bother ubout cotton being contra-
band ? Not much; he got the money for his
tubers and put it in his sock.—Bonham Fa-
vorite.
Haven’t they any banks in Fannin county?
—Mineral Wells Index.
Yes, several different varieties.
Waltz me around again. Wilhelm.
IIow silly today is the rumor of yesterday.
The only woman man understands is his
mother.
The soldiers out at the Fair are great to
look at, but we don’t want to have anything
to happen to ruffle their feelings. For their
guns look and sound very business like.—Dal-
las Times-Herald.
If a large number of them can handle a gun
as well as they can fight booze they certainly must
be experts at the business.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox says every mun’s
motto should be, "Never give up.” Ella evi-
dently favors a race of tight wads.—Beau-
mont Enterprise.
Ella no doubt intended to say that no man
should ever quit giving up.
We haven’t a very high opinion of the Chi-
cago judge who had a negro prisoner teach
him the game of craps and then fined him
.SJ.'v for it.—Mineral Wells Index.
A smooth way the judge had in getting back
that which he had lost in the game.
School opened on September 20tli
with u larger enrollment thun that of
any previoa* year since the organiza-
tion of the public school* in Bonham.
In iomc particular* there 1* an unu-
Min increase over previou* year*.
For in*tance, the High School enroll-
ment i* 238 a* compared with 20(1 nt
the clone of the first month lu*t year
whbh was by far the largest enroll-
ment up to thut time, 1 remember
thu . in a report to the School Board
1 suggested the possibility of an on-
tollment of 240 in the High School
ihii year. 1 am glad to report that
wit tin the last few days our enroll-
ment hus reached 240. This increased
enrolment in the High School has
bee t due to various causes. The ele-
mentary schools sent more pupils to
the High School this year than ever
Lef ire; and the co-operative plan
adopted two years ago tying up the
smaller high schools of the county
with our school has resulted in bring-
ing in fifteen or twenty pupils from
those schools.
The following organizations have
begun their yeur's work: the Fresh-
man Choral Club with a membership
of 43; the Senior and Junior Chorul
Club with a membership of 4<i. These
clubs ore in charge of Miss Valerie
Reeves, supervisor of music. A De-
bating Club of ten boys and a Girls'
I.itorary Society with twenty-one
ne nbers have been organized by Mr
Rather, the principal, while the gen-
uine interest which Mr. Andrews hus
be'cn able to arouse in athletics speaks
well for the sprt of the school along
that lne. The Orchestrn is at work
again under the efficient leadership
of Miss Bernice Carleton, who has
kindly consented to help the boys and
girls another year. Each of these or-
ganizations serves a very useful put-
pore in school life. A large amount
of the preparation for citizenship and
lor the appreciation of the best things
in music and literature is developed
through these organizations.
The school is very thankful for the
encouragement which it is receiving
frem the citizens of the town, the
school children and teachers. The
hearty response which they huve all
shown by the purchase of tickets for
the Lyceum Course which the school
is to undertake this year has made
the Course possible. Up to the pres-
ent time it has been impossible to call
or everybody personally. If anyone
who reads this article is interested in
the purchase of a season ticket he will
please phone Miss Phillips at the
High School. The first numher of
the Lyceum Course comes on Nov.
17, when Rose Crane, one of the best-
The sun shines alike on the pessimist and the
optimist.
President Wilson hns added Minister Cupid
to his cabinet.—Bonham Favorite.
Wasn’t Son-in-Lnw McAdoo chief sponsor for
the new official?—Austin Statesman.
He was.
Guess the silver lining of the Balkan cloud isi
made of lend.
Great Britain means to get peace if she has
to conscript it.
Ruy what you need and can pay for every
month in the year and buy it from your home
merchant.—Mineral Wells Index.
Russia, instead of suing for peace, is negotia-!
tirg more bother.
:t and can’t pay for it, don't buy it.
The kind of optimism men buy by the glasv
is even-eighth's apprehension.
Something to worry about: Human nature
rannot be abolished.—Honham Favorite.
Mayhe not. but It ran be improved upon in
whide lot of instance*.—Mineral Wells Index.

In order to assist the Music Depart
merit in teaching appreciation of the
lies'; music, Victrolas huve been put in
every school in the city. Some years
ugr the first Victrola was |>ut in the
Jurats A. Duncan building, while last
s| r ng the Mothers’ Club of the Bailo)
Inglish school put in a Victrola m
thut building; this year the teachers
und pupils in the other schools, hoth
white and colored, have put Victrolas
in their buildings. This enables the
school to have a library of records of
iho best pieces of music which are
sent from building to building on the
days they are needed. Everyone
speaks in the highest terms of the
woik that is being accomplished in
this way.
Respectfully submitted.
