SI NIKAV SCHOOL RALLY
TO BE AT GOBER
Peter Smith is a character in Bon-
ham. There is none other,like him,
nor will there ever be another such
to follow. •- :
Pete is the personification of pa-
tience. He never gets in a hurry. He
makes a living by doing such jobs
as he can hauling with a cart and
a jackass. Peter never knows just
how many trips he is going to make
in a day, but he knows he is going
to make as many as he can get vto
make—if his donkey is willing to
make them.
His donkey is not one of the stub-,
born kind. He is docile and patient
and he moves when he pleases and at
a pace that he pleases. He hardly
ever wants to move any way but
slowly, aiM that way usually suits
his master. If he moves a little
faster one day than another, he makes
more trips that day than he deos an-
other, and his master earns more
fees. But the donkey and’iiis mas-
ter understand each other and they
suit each other, and neither one of
them cares. a whit whether . they
please anybody else.
This is by way of introduction to
the little story that both Pete and
his donkey came near having a dif-
ferent kind of a story written about
them. Last Monday when Bois d’Arc
had overflowed its banks and the
water, had gotten over the causeway
across the bottom, Peter and his don-
key started across that causeway.
The water looked pretty deep, and it
was going at a swift gait, but Pete
saw a man with a two horse wagon
go through it, and he believed that
he and his donkey could cross it, too,
and they did, but not until they had
had an unpleasant experience.
In‘one place the w7ater was a little
deeper and a little swifter, and when
the donkey got into that water it
swept him and Pete and the wagon
off that causeway and on toward
Red River. It looked as if there
might be a tragic ending, but Pete
and that donkey kept going until they
struck shallow water, and then they:
waded out to dry7 land safe and
sound.
But they didn’t finish the trip they
had started on, and Pete was loser
of one fee that day. But little did
he and the donkey care for that as
they came back to town.
COMING TO BONHAM

There is g good fight here for a
veterinarian, and wc are glad to have
Dr. Harris come to make his home
with us.
NEW MEMBERS ENTERTAINED
Last night the old members of the
congregation entertained the new
members who came into its member-
ship during the recent revival at the
First Christian church.
The was an appropriate program of
music, short talks by different ones,
and a general getting acquainted
meeting. *
Light refreshments were served.
It was an enjoyable meeting and
a profitable one.

HIS PRIVILIGE '
Lippincott’s Magazine.
It was during the rush hours, and
the. car was crowded to its full ca-
pacity.
A rather gaudily dressed young
man was standing next to a German,
each holding on to the overhanging
strap. The car gave a sudden lurch.
wrhich resulted in the young man’s
stepping on the German’s toes. This
irritated the German,- who addressed
the other angrily:
“Mine friendt,” he said. “I know7
mine feet vas meant to be yalked on,
but dot brivilegc belongs to me. ’

FRENCH CRUISER
SUNK BY TORPEDO
MANY OF CREW OF OVER 700
\\ ERE LOST. WORK OF AUS-
TRIAN SUBMARINE
Brindisi, Italy, Tuesday, April 27,—
The. French cruiser Leon Gambetta
has been torpedoed and sunk by the
Austrian submarine U-6 in the Strait
of Otranto, the waterway leading to
the Adriatic Sea. The ship sank
quickly and only part of the crew
of about 700 were saved.
The first report of the destruction
of this cruiser Came from the men
on duty at the semaphore station of
Santa Maria Leuca. Vessels were
sent at once to the'aid of the Ldbn
Gambetta from Brindisi, Taranto,
Ov anto and Bari. The men at the
station also went out in their own
boat and were the first to reach the
scene.
It has not been ascertained yet it
the attack on the French cruiser oc-
curred within the territorial waters
of Italy. *
The Austrian submarine U-6 is the
same craft that a few days ago board-
ed the Italian steamer Jolanda.

TERRAPIN IS NOT
A TRAVELER
T. S. Graves of Ely was in our
.city Wednesday, and in conversation
with a News man told him an ex-
perience that convinces him that the
average highland terrapin is not only
a slow traveler, but that he does not
wander far from his usual haunts.
In 1910 Mr. Groves found a terra-
pin in his pasture, and just for an
experiment he picked it up and carved
the date on its back. He did not see
the terrapin again for two years,

but one day just after a rain he was then it disappeared and he forgot
in the pasture and saw his old friend about it until one day this week km
not more than fifty feet from where came upon the old fellow looking
he was the day he cut the date on
his shfclL Once after that he said
he saw it near the same place, and
just like he did five years ago and
still close to the same sp4t he was
near when he first saw it.
