Every Country is Made for Something.


Every country, as every man and wom
an, is made to fulfil some purpose or
destiny. If the fitness is apprehended
every country is good and every man
and woman success: otherwise, the
whole is a failure. 1t is common mis-
take we make in this world to try TO
amend Natures laws and spend our en-
ergies in attempting the impossible.
We often speak Of men as 1.-The right
man in the right place" OF country
we hear nothing OF the sort. 1t is a
good bad or indifferent country as we
see it from our standpoint, or as the
country is appreciated and used.
Your State-Kentucky-- used for
what it was specially intended. Sup
pose your people fought bluegrass as the
people of South Carolina would and do,
what would Kentucky amount to? The
consequences can not be estimated il
cotton were made the one crop of your
State and all your grand pastures and
stock interests were swept away.
But began to tell you of South Mis-
souri--where are home is. We are not
to the manor born, but are sons by adop-
ton. 1t is not a new country, but has
not been used for the purposes intended,
therefore ii has been poor country,
with financially poor people in it.
The problem of what il was suited dis
tressed no one. 1t was accepted as a
foregone conclusion that the enterprises
must remain. or it were better to say the
non-enterprises were TO remain forever
as matter of course. There
we're some, too, who insisted that tame
grasses and clovers would not grow, and
that as there are no railroads the ques-
ton Of orchards was settled. All these
conclusions were TO be opposed and
proved. 1t was no difficult thing TO do.
We. have never seen tame grasses do
better, and clover is indigenous to the
soil Tame pastures do for us just what
tame pastures do for other regions.
Fruit growing has taken firm hold
upon our people and is developing into
most promising industry. Trees come
into bearing very early, and the quality
of our fruit is the wonder OF all and
brings the best price in the market.
Peaches are almost certain crop. We
feel that grass and fruit are ample and
reliable sources Of prosperity and that
we shall get along.-R. NJ. Bell in Farm
ers' Home journal.

A Weatherford Man in Luck.

Weatherford Tex Constitution, June 5.
A reporter of the Constitution having
learned that Mr., L. NJ. Frey had received
the cash $4,000 on ticket No. IS, 847, which
he held in the Louisiana State Lottery, and
of which he made mention at the time of
the drawing, called on Mr.. Frey for a con-
hrmatiOn of the report Mr.. Frey cheerful
" did so, and added that the ticket was col
Iected by the First National Bank of this
city for him without exchange We hav
often wondered If the reports of the charac-
ter of men who have hitherto drawn prizes
IN the Louisiana State Lottery were as
claimed, these prizes always appearing by
the newspaper reports to fall into the hands
of honest, Woodworking and deserving men.
If they are to be judged by Mr.. Frey they
have all certainly deserved the prizes, for
there IS no more Industrious enterprising
and deserving a man in WeatheFfOrd than
L. NJ Frey, the jeweler. Mr.. Frey has only
been in WeatherfOrd a short time, but by
strict attention to business, honest work and
JudiciOus advertising in The Constitution and
other home papers, he has built up the larg-
est custom of any jeweler in the city. Mr..
Frey can be depended upon to make good
use Of his money, and it certainly came to
him at Just the right time-fOr the coal boom
having just struck WeatherfOrd he will need
to increase his stock at once in order to sup
ply the increased population of our city.

FATE's BRAvADO.
By VIZ. v. LONG.

last night, in the gloom and shadow,
A stern voice unto me spoke:
Il am standing between your love ana you
And Won both shall wear my yoke.
All the glory Of your great love-
Pure and holy, without stain,
have wrapped in shrOud Of sorrow,
have laid away in pain
ACaptiVes to my will and power
have locked your hopes away
With their radiant trust and beauty
That makes life a perfect day.
You are mine to taunt and torture,
Mine to take from ali delight;
Mine TO keep Tor aye asunders
And bind you down IN night.
Then laughed, ha hal as hends laugh
AS I rose from out my place;
Laughed at the braVadO OF the demon
Laughed, then struck him in the face.
Yet between my gentle love and J.
Still he stands there stern and still
And my hands all torn and bleeding
Have no power the hend to kill.
