Alexandre and Nxtremes.

Passing by Messrs. Lewme's splen-
did establishment on Thanksgiving
Day, I saw two ladies and child
about four years old just stepping
out. Their dress and appearance
showed wealth. and better still, re-
finement. / was struck with the re-
mark one of them made; it was this:
II am real sorry / do not need new
dress" What a contrast! How many
there are right in Waco, who are real
sorry that they do need new dress,
and my thoughts wandered at once
to Father Ryan's poem where he
wrote:
"SOmc hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife.
And SO thrO' ages and thrO' lands
Move on the two extremes Oflife.'
Alexandre's Baking Powder Is the
best.
