A few years ago Mrs. Rachel
Francis, of Atlanta, Ga, thought
that she could make money by 60
ing into the dairy business, and
managing to get few dollars to-
gether, she bought Il COW and be-
gan business. 1t was on small
scale, but she prospered, and after
time she bought a dozen or more
cows. The work was done by her,
She was up early and late. After
milking the COWS she would pre-
pare the milk for market and deliv-
er it to her customers. In two
years after Mrs, Francis engaged
in the dairy business she was
known by nearly every citizen.
She was strictly business, and
went wherever her business called
her, no matter where that was.
Mrs. Francis invested her money
as fast as she made it, and her in
yestments always proved good
ones. Mrs. Francis died Il few
days ago leaving an estate valued
at $4,000, including n dairy farm
of seventy-fiye acres, well improy-
ed and stocked, near Atlanta.

tendance and a bountiful s,a nis'
of the good things of this lift8'
then the picnic of last We'd
nesday was sad failure, for,
while a great many people brought
baskets will filed with the good
things of this life, it seems that
very large majority Of those
who were on the ground either
thought basket an unnecessary
enculnbrance or they forgot thsql
after having them filed, IA posi-
bly, they forgot to fill tlIen 10 tbt
first place. AT any rate it was
painfully apparent thatsthe dlnd
ner feature OF the picnic had Seer
either sadly neglected or studiously
ignored.
About four hundred people were
present from different parts Of the
country, and Of these a very small
proportion were from San Saba.
Notwithstanding the fact that
there was a scarcity of many desira-
BILE features whichwould have added
to the interest and enjoyment OF
the occasion, there seemed de-
termination on the part of these
present to make the best of the
circumstances and make JOY as
complete as possible. The gentle
man engaged in the discussion OF
politics, crops cattle, horses, sheep,
etc, and the ladies in comparing ba-
bies complimenting tkeir neighbors
etc, and after dinner was over all
repaired to the tournament grounds
where they witnessed the chiyilrous
young men ride for the honors in
cident the occasion. The first hon
ors, crown were awarded to Ar
thur Il. Thomas, While Bonoy
Austin, Frazier Low and another
young man were awarded the sec
ondary honors. The audience
seemed very well pleased with the
days enjoyment, and about 4 clock
all retired to their homes.

The tournament in the evenin,
was enjoyed by almost everyone
and the riding was considered
very good. OF course some of tn,
young men were n little nervous
but they rode well considering TIN
circumstances.
The only sad feature connecte,
with the day was the fact that
young man by the name Of Wood
was seriously hurt while practicinl
at the tournament grounds. Hi
horse turned suddenly and he wa
thrown to tie ground with grea
force, resulting, it is feared, in Sc
rious internal injuries.
The days exercises were closeC
with dance at the courthouse

posted the laurels which they has
won upon the willing and expec

sweet-hearts.

The man who pays his debts
promptly establishes confidence
and makes friends, but he who fails
to meet his obligations creates
suspicion and loses the confidence
of the business world.
Some men will buy anything
they see, if to be obtained on
IL months time, making no calcu-
lation as to how they will meet
such obligations. AT the end of
the time the article is consumed
or so damaged as to be of no val
ne to the seller, and the buyer
finds himself unable to meet his
obligation. A little forethought
would have shown him this when
the purchase was made, saved his
credit and reputation, and taught
him a lesson in economy. Such
extravaganza should be reckoned
among the worst species Of dis
honesty.
Tho man who fails to make his
income exceed, or at least equal
his expenditures, either has some
thing wrong with his moral char
acter o. y . gomplete failure in
life and little loss than leech
sucking tho biood-of an honest
and honorable business world. He
should either reduce his expenses
or increase his income.
Extravaganza and bad manage
ment cause more financial disas-
ters than all other causes combin-
ed. The worst part of the trouble
is that the men who are strictly
honest and upright often have to
suffer for the indiscretion and
Encouragement of others. The
man who fails to pay his debts
promptly at the time promised,
may cripple the individual who
credited him and cause the world
to lose confidence in him when he
is not at all to blame.
A very small leak will sink a
ship, 80 large number of small
debts will undermine and destroy
any business, no matter how pros
porous. Beware Of the man who
thinks a small debt n thing of no
consequence.
Promptness in meeting obliga-
tions is one of the chief virtues in
commercial life. without this viz
tue a man had better confne his
life to other pursuits.

A word OF Courage.

La this temperance work we are face
to race with . gigantic foe. Looking at
the forces which orr enemies
can rally, the unlimited wealth
at their command, their
thorough organization, their determine
tion to stand their ground and repel all
attacks, their subtle evasion OF all laws
which touch their traffic, it might seem
apiece OF idle folly to enter upon the
conflict. And yet there is nothing so
sure as onr success; the very air is full
of signals of the victory sure to come.
This question is mors and more the
disturbing n in all circles; ii has come
into politics and has come q stay
tasEo is Dut nj way to settle it,s AS it
was with the slavery question SO with
this. There q be no compromise, no
halfway measures. We do we'll to re-

Thoughts, that reforms never go back

and ~hesitating ones to fall into line and
take their places in the ranks of those
who are sure to be vlctors.

that Faber wrote the words:

And right the day must win;

To falter would be sin.

The Midget Page of the House.

There is a su~nny-haired little page In
the house of representatives who has be-
come quite q pet among the members.
He is a little tot of q fellow, with a bright,
open face. large brown eyes and a sunny
blonde head of hair. He wears little
Enee-breeches, and is as lively as a cricket
at all times. When the members want an
errand done.fast and well they always try
to get this little fellow to do it. His very
politeness and good tanners have brought
many little tramps to his feet, because the
members all want him. But he does not
mind an extra run, and goes as chirpy and
as happily on a new Grand as possible.
He never seems to grow weary, and al
ways is polite.
But this is not the worst part of his
troubles. His very appearance is pleasing,
and every time any one secures him they
tap him on the head or run their hand
over his hair. Now, for three or four peo-
pie to do this would not amount to much,
but to have 1926 members and as many
more strangers to rub his head once a day,
It Is not only tiresome, but is having o
serious effect. When the little boy came
here his hair was long and thick, but TINS
continual patting and rubbing is wearing
his hair off, and he begins to fear that be-
fore the session ends, if this thing keeps
up, he will be bald. His very size is SO
convenient that one's hand naturally falls
on his head. I did it recently, and noticed
at once how thin his hair was getting
