STATEMENT OF (Continued from Page One.) mediately a hard living city of some 15,000 who had lived and ' worked where prairies had been previously. The young district attorney had served two terms in that capacity at Miami. Texas, near here, before , the Borger judicial district was created.

Holmes, a veteran prosecutor for all his youth, was said to have had the confidence of the Texas ran- | gers. who in . rmer days have | swooped down now and then on i Borger to quell what some of the citizens considered waves of crime too general for the local constabu- j lary to put down. Ranger Captains Tom Hickman and Frank Hamer were among the rangers ordered here to Join in the search for the prosecutor's slayer.

The sketch shows a simple guest room for a country house, suitable for either a man or woman. The walls may be deep crear. or buff, a restful background for the chintz hangings. The rug may repeat one of the softer tones of the chintz, but should have no design. Writing materials, a reading lamp, and a few popular books and magazines will add to the hominess of the room, while a water bottle and glass should be placedon the bed table. HE TRIED TO PLA Y--BUT DIDN’T KNOW HOW By WINIFRED BLACK He killed himself out in Denver the other day—the man who didn’t know how to p*ay! He had worked hard all his life. He began to work ha-d when he was a boy 10 years old. He lived on a Kansas farm, and he got up before daylight, and fed the stock, and cleaned the stables, and shut up the hens, and pumped water for the house, and milked j and ’ent to school, and he had to walk three miles i to school, and three miles back. And in the whiter thore three miles sometimes seemed six miles—what with the snow and the blizzards and chilblains and frozen ears and things. And he had to chop wood and split kindling and fill up t he wood box and milk the cows again before supper. About all that boy did. come to think of it. was work and eat and sleep and then work some more And when he grew to be a man it was the same thing. His father died and left him the farm and he had to plow’ and harrow and sow’ and reap and WINIFRED BLACK thresh and in the winter he mended things and took care of the stock. He married a rosy-cheeked girl and for a while they were very happy in their quiet way, but she caught cold tending to the chickens one raw* day in March, and she died and he was left alone The man who didn’t know how to play buried his wife right on the farm and planted a white rose bush' on her grave—and then he went on working and working and working. And one day he started to dig a well and he found oil—and all at once he didn't have to work any more. He was rich and didn t know what to do with himself so he went to Denver to visit some relatives. The relatives were glad to see him, they knew all about the little farm in Kansas that has turn ed into a gold mine and they knew how hard he had worked all his life. So they tried to give him a good time. They took him all through the clean and sparkling city of Den ver with its green lawns and its rustling cottonwoods and its purple lilacs and its white snow-balls, and its sturdy brick and stone houses. They took him all over the boule vards and they took him up to the little park which lies like an emer ald breastpin on the bosom of the pretty town, and he looked at the Snou’y Range and saw the great chain of mountains. And he want ed to see the mountains “up close.” so they took him up into the wild canyons of the Rockies and they bridged tumbling streams, and saw the silver aspens quaking in the brilliant sunlight. But the man who couldn't play didn't know what to do about it. There w'as nothing much to the mountains but rocks and trees. He didn't see why people made such a fuss about them, so they tried to teach him to play golf but he said he felt foolish making such a time over a little white ball. He said he was going back to Kansas and buy him a little farm nice and level with a good four-room house on it and a good big barn. But on k-1 the morning he was to go back they found him in his room—dead. He said he was too tired to work and he didn’t know how to play *o he thought he had better leave his money to some young folks who would know how to enjoy it. The rich man they called him. Why he was poor—poorer than any beggar in a crowded city, poor er than the laziest tramp in the world. The tramp knows a sunset when he sees it or maybe he likes the smell of the fresh hay in the fields. He may not know how to work but he knows how to play and atfer all that is rather worth while —isn’t it? Funeral Service For Mrs. Harris Held Funeral services for Mrs. Frank Harfis. of El Jardm, were held at the First Methodist church at 4 p. m. Friday, with the Rev. J. E. Lov 1 ett officiating. The body was for warded to Howard, Kans , for in | terment. Mrs. Harris died at the family home in El Jardin at 4:25 a. m. Thursday. She was 69 years old. Surviving her. besides her husband, are four children, four grandchil dren. and three brothers. Menus oftLe Day By MRS.
