the rest of them off and climbing into
bed. But he was optimistic. "This
weather won't last," he declared.
The next morning he washed his
face by drawing two fingers of each
hand rapidly over the cheek bones,
while his legs vibrated like the strings
on a harp. That night he sat along

MISSION MATTERS
To The Herald.
Mission, Texas, Nov. 30, 1909.
Thanksgiving was observed at Mis
sion in regal style. All the stores
dosed at noon, and in the afternoon
rne .Missionues witnessed a very in
teresting game of ball between the
McAllen Grey Wolves" and the
Mission Coyotes." The Mission
ites were very much surprised to
see the game end in favor of Mc
Allen, but that is easily accounted
lor, as the Coyotes ate their Thanks
giving dinner before the game, and
the result was two of the best men
vere laid up in bed, while the rest
were unusually slow in moving
about. The Coyotes are it, but this
vas one time wben the wolves were
itter," but another game will be
pulled off soon, and, nuff said.
The Mission Baseball club gave a
dance in I. J. Wright's new build
ing Thanksgiving evening, which was
greatly enjoyed by the young people
of Mission and other surrounding
towns. Pretty strains we're furnish
ed by a five.jjrece Mexican orchestra
and refreshing punch was served af
ter each dance.
"Home Sweet Home" was played
at one o'clock a. m., after thirteen
waltzes and two-steps, and four ex
teas had been danced.
Last Tuesday seven couples of the
younger set spent a most agreeable
evening at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. E. E. Davis, east of the city.
The amusement features of the ev
ening were 'dancing, singing, music,
etc. Mrs. Davis again demonstrat
ed her ability as an able hostess, and
when midnight's holy hour tolled,
the expressions of regret that the ev
ening had pased so quickly were un
iversal among the guests. Appetiz
ing refreshments were served to
crown the success of the event.
A Mexican circus arrived in town
yesterday and everything is in a
whirl. Last night's performance
proved to be a great success and was
enjoyed by both young and old, lit
tle and small, Mexicans and Ameri.
cans. The performance will be re
peated tonight and a large parado
will pass down the Boulevard at
eleven o'clock this morning and a
great number of little folks will be
present to feed the elephants pea
nuts, etc., as they pass. "Mission is
going some."

CKXTKXX1 AL 151 IITH DAY.
Today is the centennial anniver- j
sary of the birth ot Frances Anne
Kemble, better known to the last
generation as Fanny Kemble. She
was noted throughout the English
speaking world as an actress of great
ability, a Shakespearean reader and
a writer.
She was the daughter of :he cele
brated English actor, Charles Kem
ble, and was a niece of Mrs. Siddons.
She was born in London, Nov. 27,
1S09, and secured her early educa
tion in the British metropolis. Her
father being in financial difficulties,
she determined to aid in filling the
family purse by going on the stage.
At the age of 20 she made her de
but at Covent Garden, and in 1S32
came to ue United States with her
father, where she won a splendid tri. j
umpli. While on this side, in 1834, j
she contracted an unfortunate mar- j
riage with Pierce Butler, a Philadel
phia gentleman, and retired tempo
rarily from the stage. ;
Whether due to faults of her bus- I
band, or to her own artistic tempera- j
ment and desire for public applause,
the alliance resulted in unhappihess
for both. She left her husband and
went to reside at Lenox, Mass. In j
1S47 she secured a divorce, resumed

By the time Mrs. Gittem had the
toast buttered and the stop watch
pulled on the eggs, Gittem, morning '
paper in hand, came back to
the dining room after his ma-,
tutional ration, whistling with the
air of a man who has come to a dec!- '
Ion about something or other. i
"Well," remarked Gittem, as ha :
reached across the table for the sugar j
bowl. "I s'pose we can be all packed i
and out of here by day after to-mor- j
row without any trouble might even ;
make it to-morrow."
Mrs. Gittem stopped punching at
the holes in the salt cellar with her '
fork and looked up with a perplexed I
Btare. "And where are we going?"
she inqlred, curiously.
"Where are we going?" repeated J
Gittem. "Yes, where are we going?
Huh! I suppose now that summer ia '
here we'll run down to Florida to '
spend a month or so. Either there or '
take rooms at some river hotel In Cin- '
cinaati for the heated term. Where,
are we going! Good, sensible, perti
nent question that Well, just by way ,
of supplying some brand new informa
tion to you, I might say that we own
a little cottage out in the country not
far from the shore of Lake Erie this .
large body of fresh water to the north
of ub, y'know. And I'll refresh your
memory further we've been spending .
our summers out there now for the
last six years. i
"Of course it never occurred to you,"
continued Gittem, "that we would be
going out there again this summer
wasn't to be expected that you would
figure that out. But we are. And what
I want to get at now Is how long it'll
take you to get your la-zer-ee and
other duds gathered together so we
c'n get out there just as soon as pos- ,
sible. If you can't pack 'em up in !
the next day or so yourself better j
hire somebody to come in and do it, 1
because I'm getUng an awful hankering !
for the country thing myself. The
Almighty never intended mankind to
live in a city with this kind of weath- ,
er going on."
"But isn't it a little early to bo
going to the country?" suggested ;
Mrs. Gittem interrogatively. "Aren't ;
you afraid it might be a little ;
too cold?"
Gittem bestowed a half pitying :
glance upon her before he replied. "Of j
course," says he, "there's no such ,
thing as fires out in the country. Very j
poor, I suppose, to sit in front of a j
nice big wood fire in an open grate if ;
it happens to get a little cold some
evening. You'd rather sit by a steani
radiator, hey? I wouldn't doubt it
Well, you can stay In town and

want to, but I'm serving notice on you

alrl comes from and I'm going pretty
