Pray for hope and pray for life.

Help us io heil the wounds tod iy.
We implore thv tender care
Still to guard our land so fair;
Snelter us beneath the dove.
Guide us with undying love.
Thou, oh, God, to thee we pray.
Help us heal the wounds today.
We besec h th-e ‘till to guide,
Stili to ste a the raging tide,
Help us keep our ship of state
Tranquil on the"seas of fate.
Thou, oh, G )d. to ihie we pray,
Help us heal the wounds today.
King of Heaver, Lord of Earth,
Teach us what a life is worth;
Help us give the life you gave
Ever from a soldier's grave.
Thou. Jehovah, thou, we pray,
Calm earth’s bat lefie’ds today.

Mr. T. B. Obencnain of Mc-
Kinney was in the city Tuesday
securing information as to the
volume of business and annual
earnings of the several business
concerns of Whitewright. This
data will be used along with oth-
er statistical information by the
promotors of the McKinney-Paris
interurban in the general sum-
ming up and selection of the
route of construction, lt appears
to be the purpose of those in
charge of this enterprise to go
ahead and complete the pielimi-
nary work as originally planned,
so that when the flurry occa-
j sioned by the European war is
over they will be ready to prop-
erly finance the project and
place the contracts for construc-
tion of the line.

A Gorman traveler report* that
; the negroes of the Kamcrun country,
Africa, make a die* so of which l'i y
! an1 very font! from the seeds ol a
I tree known as Teculia ufrieann.
j They cook the seeds, ami thou shell
j and crush them into a semi-liquid
| mass. After flavoring th-e mass with
[nipper, and [touring off the liquid,
they mold it into cakes ol a grayish-
white color that at first do not taste
at all like cheese. The pom be, as
the natives call Ihe stuff, has to
ri[x'n just like ordinary cheese. To
this end the natives expose the cakes
to the air. The color gradually
changes from gray to yellow; ami
finally to brown. During the process
the cakes smell like cheese, but later
have a distinctly sour odor. When
ripe, they% taste like strong cheese;
and, in fact, ns they are formed bv
the same bacterial changes that give
flavor to our own cheese, it is quite
correct to call ibis native delicacy
cheese from a tree.—Youth’s Com-
panion.

J. B. Moore of this city, who hie
two shares, has just been r.ot fi d
by the company that the weT,
which is located six or seven miles
west of Howe, har beei abandonea
after reaching the depth stated, be-
cause of lack of o l or gas irdica-
tions and an accident which resulted
in a section of casing becoming fast
in the well. It is stated that a -
rangements were made with the
driller whereby the company se-
c ires a $3,000 interest in the Was-
k>ma- ’ home Oil and Gas Co4 of
Kingston, Okla , where drilling is
now under way. The most plea:-
an: part of the letter, however, is
the announcement that about $1,400
remain in the treasury and that
stock-holders were being issued
checks for $12 per share, the re-
minder being t eta ined to liquidate
expenses of the Kingston concern,
in case the prospect proves to be a
dry one. Mr. Moore held two

Rastus was sorely wounded. From : - t (A?
his face gore flowed in rivulets, and !
in the outer covering of his substan- j
tial head there were sundry gashes !
and openings. He had been the vie- j£*.4
tim of a brutal assault.
The physician who treated hinrfor
bis wounds was sympathetic.
“Great heavens!” he said. “Some-
body lias beaten you up in a terrific
manner. You must havo been hit at
least nine or ten times.” IfcA.
“Pat ain’t no joke,” said Rastus, ;
who was still trembling. “1 don’t

“Then you ought to learn a lesson j >,*.4

“Hereafter, you ought to stay far '
away from people who indulge in j '£<4
this sort of tiling.” !
“Par ain’t no chance,” Rastus oh-
jected gloomily. “You know, boss.

May li—-As we passed Ireland
today the Saurian was launched at
Belfast. Once around her is a mile
and a half, and she carries twenty-
five thousand persons. Our vessel
met the splash of the launching
broadside to, and was washed up on
the coast of France, but got off
again and proceeded to Southamp-
ton, leaking badly from strained
plates. Two of her funnels and six-
teen lifeboats were carried awav.i
Never again will I risk my life in
