LIES DAY.

Into the field Of life we pass
Atearly morn. The jeWeled grass
With sunbea1ns kissed spreads at our feet:
And youth, like morn, all pure and sweet
And bright is filed with rosy dreams;
While in the purple heavens CLEANS
The star Of fortune and of fame,
And in its light we read name
0 dream, most sweet, it is our own:
More glorious still, it shines alone!
The sun speeds on; the star no more
Is seen. Illusve dreams are DER.
Fortune and fame so coy aud feet
But mock our weary, way-worn feet
Ambitions fairest prize has flown;
name appears, but not our own.
What have we then for all our pains?-
For all our prayers: Are there no grains
OF good to shove Has all been lost
In that our cherished plans are crossed,
And disslpated each fond dream
AS snow flakes melt within the stream?
All, no! See how our souls are filed
With wealth of harvests we have titled;
With meekness, patience. love and truth;
Blest springs of everlasting youth;
Bright jewels Of the crown within;
Ripe fruit of life's sharp discipline;
OF which there dawns the twilight gray
OF day that dies not with the day.

Goth. The prisoner was brought from the
mounted police barracks at 1920 in a
wagon under a strong escort Of police.
Walking to the wagon, the prisoner strobe

Where the Scorpion Gets His Poison

Where the Scorpion Gets His Poison.
When he strikes you with the end of
his tail, like wasp. he eXlldes ven
omous liquid, and a man mig CHIT better
hold red-hot iron in his hand than to
get a tenth part of drop of this
liquid into his blood. 1t is not neces-
sarily fatal, particularly in the BAHIA
mas; but it condenses the heat of forty
furnaces. In some parts of South
America scorpion bites are frequently
fatal, but have not heard of any one
having been killed by them in Nassau.
This is easily accounted tor. The
scorpion likes to feed on decayed
wood. In South America, where dye
woods and other poisonous woods
abound, the scorpion feeds upon them,
and thus work into themselves good
supply of outside poison, which, taken
together with his naturally poisonous
liquid, does its work for whoever is
unfortunate enough to be stuEg. But,
in Nassau, such poisonous woods are
few, and the scorpions have to fatten
themselves respectfully on pine, cedar
and mahogany.-Fr From a Nassau Let.

The Lockhart Register il after the
scalp OF the man who denoted
Caldwell county TO the community sys'
tenn OF free schools. That paper truth
fully says: "The only argument for
the community system is that it en-
ables two or three contrary citizens to
break up the best neighborhood
schools in the county," and it might
have added that these "two or three
contrary citizens" are TO be found in
every community. After having all
the trouble and expense Of dividing
the county into school districts, then
to have it changed back into the in
efficient and unsatisfactory commu-
nifty system, was a brilliant move in
deed. We thought at the time the
change was made that it was a step
backwards, but as it did not affect
the city schools OF Luling, we pre-
fered that the first complaint should
come from those more directly inter
ested.-Luling Signal.

The decision has been looked forward

had the decision been in favor of the
liquor men it would have placed sew

financial predicament, as the money
paid into the treasures under the

"Mothers ShonId Note This.N

Under this caption an old physician writes
to Cincinnati medical journal, that in view
of the fact that people living at q distance
from cities are frequently obliged to resort
to cough mixtures already put up for use,
they should provide themselves with only
such remedies as are known to be free from
opiates, poisons and narcotics; thus avoid.
ing not only danger, but even fatal results.
He recommends the recently discovered
Red Star Cough Cure, which analyses and
tests by various boards of health proved to
be purely vegetable, rs well rs prompt, ef-
fectivo and entirely harmless.
