correct when it said to Eve. that she and
Adam would be as gods. knowing good and
evil makes a man a little god on his own
hook, when he follows these appetites. He
says this world is all. Man is only what
he sees and feels here, hence whatever is
great belongs alone to man. The fact is
man sees through glass darkly and wor-
ships himself. Hence he is proud of his
own self for it is self alone that he
bows down to as self-creative, self-eXistent,
self-acting on self, matter on matter, ever
creating out of itself nothing else but mat
ter. The man that believes this had best
act on his theory and carry it out to its ut
termoSt logical result, which is the Roman
idea, carpe diem, or the idea of the SaddU-
Gees, 'seat, drink and be merry for to-mor-
row you die Now ever and anon there
appears rs the natural result of the laws of
spiritual forces acting in man, such entail
phenomena as Mr.. Cordingly exhibits. l
am told that he is comparatively unlearned
and gathers these inspirations from a
source transmitted to him by 4 power be-
yond himself. The materialists have favor
tie saying that man is the sum of himself.
That is he is nothing outside of the accu-
mulated sum of his own experiences. But
here arises a refutation of this and shows
that this cannot be, that he gathers wis
dom from source not generated by spon-
taniety within his own nature. Not the
sum Of his own history but it comes from
elsewhere 1t is able to foreteQ future
events. 1t is able by refined essence within

W. r. Lamb, editor of the Montague

reporter yesterday. He expressed himself
as well pleased with Fort Worths improve

her products at the Worlds fair. Mr..
Lamb went over to Dallas yesterday and
Will return this morning, spend to-day in

opinion that THE GAZETTE should be repre-

what they had seen of Texas.
How are the crops looking in the section
you have been in, was asked.
The crops all over the west are looking
remarkably fine: the wheat in the west is
knee high, and corn is coming up well
Texas is certain to have fine crops and
prosper this season. The county south of
here along the Santa Fee is also in good
condition as far as crops are concerned.
With one-third wheat crop in Europe
Texas will receive good price for her
wheat crop this season. The people every
where | have been appreciate Fort Worth
for two reasons. l. The GAZETTE, which
they say is doing more for Texas than all
the other papers in the state, and the Fort
Worth packing house, which they claim is
the biggest thing for the state at large that
has been started.
Is the Concho or San Angelo country well
watered'
Yes. there are twenty-three streams of
running water in the country, and they are
not dry creeks either, but large running
streams fed by large springs, full Of trout.
1t IS well watered country.
Fort Worth has settled the Panhandle
and Northwest Texas country. She should
now go TO work and settle her own county
of Tarrant. No matter i'll what direction
YOU go from this city, Northwest by the
Fort Worth and Denver, west and east by
the Texas and Pacific, southwest by the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande, and south by
the Santa Fe, and suppose it is the same
along the other roads leading out of Fort
Worth. After you leave the city YOU see very
little land in cultivation, and but few farms.
The country is all iucloSed in big pastures.
This should be remedied. and now is the
time to do it. One farmer breaking up the
ground in Tarrant county is worth three
men who settle in Fort Worth for the gen.
eral good of the city.

over an area of more than 5000 square

is little or no rain, as the mountains in

The word was Mussentouchit.
Baby wondered who Museentouchit

would say "Mussentouchit.

In the corner of the parlor there was

Baby was very fond of climbing into a
