(Editor's Note—Mr. Ryman’s History of
Dallas was written in 1885. It is important,
then, for the reader to remember that when

born in us and sometimes thrust upon us, it is said
of William C. Roushey that he once remarked that J
he did not understand how it was that so many ~* rr
people knew him whom he did not know, unless it
was because he started the tunes in church.
Mr. Roushey was a much respected citizen
through a long life spent in Dallas, but like most
of us, he had peculiarities which it is difficult to
disassociate from his memory. :
He was a privileged character in his church,
and felt it his duty to interrupt the minister at any
time, from his seat, if he thought any misstatement

Another amusing story is told in which this

Of course the sermon and the text must be de-
livered without notes, lest someone might question
the genuineness of the “call to preach,” and as a
result there were some “bad breaks.” The text
probably intended to be used was “The ways of
the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,” and
to this text he stuck.
Faithfully, for a long hour, he chased it up ’
and down and ran it into all kinds of human ex-
perience, and pictured the horror and abomination
of the Lord over the prayers of the wicked. How
wicked it was for the wicked to pray. To those
who happened to be awake during the long har-
angue, among them Mr. Linskill, of course, it was
all very ludicrous.
At last, after a great deal of difficulty in mak-
ing human affairs dove-tail with his text, the preach- '
er sat down.

On the instant Mr. Linskill rose from his seat
far back in the church and said with a deliberate ww’ oo

church, “If any man will show me that text in the
Bible I will be a wiser man than I ever have been,”
and sat down.

Of course this was a crushing humiliation to
the preacher, but it seemed to be one of the cases
of “least said, soonest forgotten” and so I presume
the incident has passed out of the memory of most
of those who were present.
WANTED AN AMERICAN EAGLE
A story is told of A. L. Warring, who for a
short time about 1849 to 1851 kept the hotel at
Dallas. Among his most liberal patrons were Charles
Bennett, a Wilkes-Barre lawyer, and Henry Han-
cock, a Dallas merchant. They were in the habit
of stopping there on their way up or down on
numerous fishing an dother occasions. They were

the cause and asked an explanation. “Explanation,”
