Tho Inspiration of Riuers.

In ancient pagan religions there was q
peculiar sacredness attached to running
water in springs or rivers. The famous
oracle of Delphi was besidegthe Castalian
spring; and in the haunted grotto of
Egeria, inspired by the murmurs of its
beautiful fountain, the first king of
Rome received from the celestial nymph
the laws and religious rites which he i'm
parted to the primitive community.
Rivers in prehistoric times were every-
Where worshiped; shrires were erected
on their banks, and they had prests of
their own. Men swore by them, for tho
spirit of the waters could drown those
who proved false to their word; and the
most awful form OF oath is that which
the Ilindoo still takes who swears bv j
divine river more sacred even than The
Ganges-of which the Ganges is only ar
earthly manifestation. The Office of thu
Hebrew prophets received its name /,
the original from root signifying tn,
z bursting forth and the ,overaowinK1 coi
copious fountain.-The Culver.

The following communication was
handed the NEWS to-day:
Waco is sadly in need Of society
for the prevention Of cruelty to ami
mails, judging by the way in which
the unfortunate little mules belong
ing to the street car company are so
mercilessly belaboured. A story is
told of a drunken Irishman vending
his way homeward in the wee small
hours who soliquized after this FASH
ion: eff Bridget is in bed, I'll bate
her; if she is waiting up I'll bate
her; il she has supper ready for me,
I'll bate her; II she has none, I'll
bate her; begorra I'll bate her any
way, and this appears the principle
on which our car drivers act. If the
mules go slow, they lash them; il
they go fast they lash them; If they
are stubborn. they lash them; if they
are willing they lash them; 'begorra
they lash them anyway. Passengers
who witness this cruelty have the
entire pleasure of their ride spoiled.

The Wonders of Baseball.

There must be something wonderful
about game that can bring together day
after day throughout the summer months
of every year from 1000 to $4,000 peo-
pie and hold them despite dust, heat and
an atmosphere strong of tobacco smoke
for two Or three hours. Nine great big
men are placed at stated distances from
each other over five acres Of ground. A
tenth man takes a bat, and as the ball is
pitched to him he tries to strike it out
into the field. If he succeeds, he tries to
run around a block at the four corners of
which an enemy is placed. If he gets
all the way around without being inter-
cepted by the ball in the hands of his op-
ponent, he scores run. This is all there
is to it. But before the ball is hit and
before the run is completed there are so
many thrilling dangers to escape, so
naaAy pursuess and intercepters to elude,
70 many opportunities for the exhibition
of strength, courage, ingenuity, audacity
and skill on the part of both struggling
sides, that no one to whom these qualities
appeal can fail to enjoy the contest.
To see herculean figure suddenly 90
into a momentary CONFUSION, to see the
ball he has held in his hand dart through
the air with force enough to break an
ox's skull, to see the batter swing his
club and hit the missile squarely, which
means that single point of sphere has
met single point of circle, to see it
plunge into the air or whiz across the
field, to see the striker tear along to his
first objective point as if chased by the
furies, to see the ball descend plumb into
the extended palm Of an alert fielder or to
see its course cut short by the daring
hand of shortstop who thereupon huris
it over to the point whittier the striker is
aiming so that even his flying feet are
outstr1pped in the race-this is spectacle
over which even wooden man should be
ashamed not to enthuse.-New York
Tribune.

Waco Curiosity Shop.


I The Waco Curiosity Shop is at 707
and III Austin street. The Waco Gu
riosity Shop Is the place to buy and
sell all kinds of secondhand goods.
They carry full and complete stock
of furniture, stoves, lamps glassware,
trunks, sewing machines, and nearly
every M ticle needed for housekeeping.
IT is the place that never tries to hum
bug the people with so-called Cost
Sales, Moving Sales, or other devices
to deceive. 1t is the place where they
can and do sell goods at fair profit
so that there is no accumulation of old
time-worn goods. 1t is the poor mans
friend. The Curiosity Shop was start
ed less than three years ago with less
than small fortune, and a good name.
Since then it has sold nearly $4,000
worth of goods. 1t has helped hum
dreds of people to furnish their homes
when they could not do so in any 9TH
er way. 1t has continued to grow,
make friends and prosper as no other
house in Waco ever did with same
capital.
Now let me tell you what the Curl
osity Shop is going to do. 1t is going
to have the best stock of new stoves,
furniture, trunks and general house,
hold goods it ever had. 1t is going to
meet all competition and lead it when
we can. 1t will make special low
prices in new cook and heating stoves
and in the future as in the past, try
to make as many friends as possible,
realizing that it is by our friends we
live. Thanking all for past favors
and our prosperity, we are as ever,

Mr.. Seley took immediate posses

customers, and one of the oldest and
best known of Waco's business
houses suspended business. The firm
of Levine Bros. was composed of L.
Levine, of New York, and Joseph
and Harry Levine, of this city. All
of the old citizens remember the time,
when IS years ago, the Levine Bros.
opened a small business on Third
street, facing the court house, which
then stood on the square. BY honest
dealing and integrity they built up
the largest business in the city, and
held that position for years, and they
enjoy the respect of the whole COM
munity, but to-day their business IL
gone, and another of Waco's old land
marks has been swept away.

"The old commodore, as the elder VAN
derbilt is always called, and "William
H." as the late president Of the New
York Central is invariably referred to,
appeared at Saratoga as regularly as the
season came round Their heirs have
-cdtlthe sIsingsland spend the summer at
Newport and other resorts. 1.-THE old
commodore was a great man to sit on
the veranda and talk with anybody and
everybody. An, old timer Gays he once
sat in a group which included "the old
commodore" and William II. Seward,
who so narrowly missed tho presidency
in 1860. They were talking about money
making.
Commodore, asked Mr.. Seward,
"you are not always successful in your
business plans, are your"
"No," replied Mr.. Vanderbilt, with
extreme frankncss. Sometimes lose
$50, 600, or $4,000 or 100000, but I
generally come out q leetle ahead at the
end of the year"
Another veteran of thirty Saratoga
seasons tells this: II have often heard
Vanderbilt say that he made his great
fortune after he reached the age of 65.
He had only s15, 900, 900 or $40, 900, 900
when he was 65. His first big hit was
the purchase of the Harlem road. That
doubled his fortune. Then he bought
the Hudson River and Central, and
doubled another. And finally he took in
the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern
and his western property, and doubled
his estate the third time. Thus, when
he was at the age when most men are
thinking of making their wills, his estate
jumped from $15, GOO, 900 to $50, 600, 900
by the purchase of the Harlem, from
$50, 900 to 100000 by the pur-
chase of the Hudson River, and from
$50, 900 to 2O,0OOOOO by the pur-
chase of the Lake Shore. That is the
whole secret of the building up of the
wonderful Vanderbilt fortune. But the
heirs have shown better quality of hold
ing on to the money than was expected.
There isn't ole of the younger Wander.
bilts who lives up to his income. They
have more than the amounts left them.n

good common business sense, knowing

ize the fact that ten years ago are not

Others starting in business when
all it was thought necessary for a man
to know was what he paid for an ar.
