Courtesy Of Eminent Men.

The courtesy of men Of actual and
well earned eminence is remarkable. 1t
is the scrubs, pretenders, and parasites
who are insolent and caddish. A Bis.
marck will step aside with bow to allow
you to pass, where the mud Drained son
of soap trust king walks pompously
across your toes. once saw the heavy
browed and thoughtful young emperor
of Germany-the lord of War;" as he
calls himself-wake from his abstraction
and twist about in his saddle with swift
eagerness to acknowledge the courtesy
of a ragged old peasant woman by the
roadside. His hand flew to his hat, and
his salutation to the lonely beggar was us
profound and respectful as though she
had been duchess. / looked at her
after the emperor had ridden around a
bend Of the road. The blood flushed her
withered face, for the first time, per-
haps, in many years, and her eyes glis-
tened brightly. She looked as though
ten years had been taken from her al.
ready liberal score, IT bad cost the en-
peror an effort, but he made it with the
cheerfulness, alacrity and polish of a
man to whom courtesy is inbred and
natural. Blakely Halls Letter.

TACO Curiosity Shop.
Where is What is What has dne and What it is Going to do

The Waco Curiosity Shop is at 7O7
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 AZ ticle needed for housekeeping.
1t 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 II 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 good name.
Since then it has sold nearly $40, 900
worth of goods. 1t has helped hun
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 1t 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 ali for past favors
and our prosperity, we are as ever.

Tho Canadian Girls WAY.

Canadian girls, it is said, allow their
lovers six months to make decision. If
the youth is particularly bashful and the
young lady is indulgent she may give
him place ON the sofa and accept con-
tributions of the sap of the maple with
which he comes laden to her fresh from
the forest for another three months.
But unless somewhere in that time he
asks her to be his own he must seek
other firesides. She doesn't weep at the
parting or make any time over it. There
are as good fish in lie sea as ever were
caught, she argues, I'D in that reason
she finds consolation for the misspent
time. Canadian Is are not only
pretty, but they are i trained to make
good housekeepers. chicago Herald.

Some men engage in business with
very little money, having an abun-
dance of push and get up and get and
good common business sense, knowing
how, when and where to buy goods,
pushing rapidly to the front, are al
ways glad to meet and welcome COM
petition, rejoicing in the prosperity of
all, with the motto, Coward and up
ward,o ever before them. They real
ize the fact that ten years ago are not
the ways of to-day, that old fogyism
is dead. Such men deserve success.
Others starting in business when
all it WAS thought necessary for a man
to know was what he paid for an ar
ticle and to sell it at double the cost.
Such men soon get disguised at the
business push and success of the mod
ern merchant, and rather than meet
competition stands Off and defies it
rather than sell goods at a fair profit,
let them lay on the shelves and rust
and grow old. Gradually dropping

Died Without a GrOan.

About 4 o'clock the other morning, the
Mundine hotel in Rockdale, Texas, was
found to be on fire, and was quickly all
ablaze. Inside there were 10 persons, only
two of whom escaped alive.
DR.. w. A. Brooks, the proprietor, was
pulled out of the burning building with his
hair and beard singed off, and otherwise
badly burned, leaving behind him his wife
and four children, who persisted.
The mystery about the thing is that so
many should have persisted when none were
higher up than the second story, and there
were galleries and exits on both sides Of the
building occupied by the sleepers. No one
was heard TO call or scream, all dying with
out cry for help, though great crowd
quickly gathered and exhausted every effort
to afford rescue.
The remains of several have been recov-
cred from the ruins, but they are unrecog-
nizable. Mr.. Pierce Is the only nonresident
victim.
The hotel register being burned, there is
no means Of identifying the remains.
