PHILOSOPHER VoGELsANa argues that our

quite independent of rain anywhere. How
ever this may be, we guess most people Will
agree with him when he says that the prin-
ciple that Western Texas was designed for
dry country, cannot be refuted."

DR.. Stewart, the pastor of one of
our uptown churches, has been painting
the portrait of the "charming young
woman of the period. He says that
her ''sweet eyes weep in sympathies"
and that she has beautiful hands for
charity All this is very nice; but the
charming young woman whom every
young man is anxious to take some day
or another before Dr. Stewart for the
purpose of having her name changed is
expected to do something else with her
eyes besides sympathetic weeping. He
thinks that if she were to employ them
in finding out the exact moment when q
beef steak is done to {. nicely, or when
button shows symptoms of going of
on an excursion from the shirt bosom,
they would be more useful and attrac-
tive. Hands for charity" are to be
priced, indeed, but the hands that can
make their owners sweet things in dres-
ses as we'll as hot rolls are Invaluable.
If they have a thorough acquaintance
with the broom-corn brush they are still
more estimable. Hands and eyes with
these recommendations are in constant
demand.-NeU York Journal
