enough to give him an outlet and
hard feelings had sprang up over
the matter. Finally Carter pur-

including Burgess, were wanting

B, Anthony and Mrs. J. B. Pear-
son as alternates. Mrs. Anthony
read the poem "The Song Trans-
mitted". Mrs. Rogers' talk on
Mexican Family Life in Chihu-
ahua was very interesting and
Mrs. Vance's discussion of Centro
Cristiano Service in the Mex-
ican homes was very instructive
and interesting. It was decided
to have our all day meeting for
the review of the Mission Study
Book, The Kingdom and the
Nation, March 28th, at the home
of Mrs. W. L. Cole.

A hearing was held in the

when, Jackson and Broady who
together with Mont Cookson and
Ed Lockhart are charged with
the Hulbert bank robbery, were
brought before County Judge
Robertson, for a preliminary
hearing. Evidence of Charley
White, a confessed accomplice in
the bank robberies of recent date
in this and surrounding counties
showing that they were in this
county on the day of the robbery
and that they were at the home
of Fred Walker a day or so later

several witnesses were put on
the stand to corroborate. After
hearing the evidence, Judge Rob-
ertson held the two defendants
Jackson and Broady to the Dis-
trict Court in the sum Jof $5000
each. Hon. W. W. Hastings ap-
peared for tho prosecution and
W. E. Douglas represented

J. I. Coursey appeared for Jack-

complice in the bank robbery at
that place when Henry Starr was
killed, and is reported to have
escaped several days ago, Cook-
son is now serving five years in
the penitentiary for robbery of
the bank at Gore.
After Judge Robertson had
held the two defendants to the
District Court, Mr. Hastings Call-
ed for the arraingementof Broady
on the charge of grand Larceny

appointed to defend him and
after the hearing the court held
the .vidence insufficient to hold
him on the charge.

UNIFORM CIVILITY
'"p 0 BID welcome to the world when
everything seems to be going
against you, Is to exhibit the right
sort of courage nnd to show yourself
capable of overriding difficulties.
Though flrebrnnds may he thrown
across your pathway atid backbiting
tongue* assnll you, If you still remain
amiable and courteous, you Will
emerge from the ordeal unscathed.

Civility and nil that It Implies gives
you the staying strength to surmount
obstacles nnd to press forward in all
kinds of weather,
Scowls, frowns and short answers
very frequently make of the talented
and gifted, sorrowful toilers, while,
on the other hand, urbanity and
suavity elevate men and women of
moderate attainments to power and
affluence.
Civility commends Itself to people
who know not Its name, but recog-
nize It when they see It. The crabbed
old boor and the proud youth are now
and again arrested by Its soft answer
and smiling face, and even the rude
vagabond will stop a moment when It
crosses his path and stare at It In
open-eyed wonderment.
In gome subtle way civility touches
hearts and knits mankind closer to-
gether, yet, despite this fact, it has
a long way to go and a great deal
of hard work to do before It can over-
take the masses and make them un
derstand Its true worth.
To those who are Just starting
career*, and especially to the young,
good manners are as essential to
their success as good commendations.
Indeed, politeness may be said to
be the better thing of the two, for the
reason that It builds character, and
makes It Imposing In the eyes of otb-
•ri.

There Is no time in one's life that
courtesy of behavior ih the treatment

motion.
