part in placing the word of God in th
hands of little children, that thus goo'
seed may be scattered and bring fortl
abundant fruit, not only here bu
throughout the broad land. The boar(
proposes to give every destitute chile
in the United States copy of the
Bible, and also every child in Wash

and desires to have one. This i;
move in the right direction
for ii Rome shall take our Bible from

WoMAN's CLINIC.
A regular organization of the wo-
mans clinic has just been effected
and now their rooms are open daily,
except Sunday, from l to 3 O'Clock,
under the charge of DR.. Ida j.
Heiberger. Here women who need
medical aid are treated by women
physicians free of remuneration. A
small fee of 10 cents is charged
patients, to free them from the feel
ing that they are objects of charity,
and also that the projectors of the
scheme may have little fund to de-
vote to necessary expenses. Women's
helps for women are multiform, and
nowhere are the avenues broader or
more varied than here at the nations
heart. At some future time / will
devote little space to the outlining
of women's work as pursued here in
various departments.
A good thing which has fallen to
some elect ladies is the appoin tment

called meeting of the board to be
held in Chicago on Nov. IS, The
members of the board will receive Sc
per day and expenses, which seems a
snug little sum.
THE CENSUS BUREAU.
The census bureau with its addi
tional force of several hundred is the
mecca toward which desiring hearts
have turned; now the employees num-
Der 5000, yet officials, who are sup.
posed to know, say that in year there
will not be 500 retained in the service.
The work is necessarily of a temporary
character and when one reflects upon
what is involved it becomes a serious
question, for, according to official
statement, only about per cent of
the clerks have any experien e in the
business, and much time is consumed
in drilling them, whereas, perman-
ent bureau would train and then re-
tain competent corps, who would
not have to be organized every ten years
and then instructed as to their duties.
1t is a question whether the English
governmental system with some mod
ifcations, would not work we'll on this
side the water! Civil service has
helped somewhatin stemming the tide
of scramble for Office, but there is still
room for improvement. After all, a
government Office has its dark as we'll
as bright side, and if the hungry as
pirants of both sexes, at a distance,
could only see the inner workings
they would not be SO eager for more
intimate acquaintance with "Uncle
Sam"

the endorsement by several medical
associations of Texas of DIR. r. M.

Nothing more conclusive of his pecu-

record of six years as its incumbent.
His name is known all over Texas
he is everywhere recognized as one of
the most scholarly and p. lished physi-

his candidacy at this time will bring
to him ground swell of enthusiastic
support from every section OF the state.
