GRANDMOTHER SAD


always set your chair back when y,5. na
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle of the room o-
standing carelessly."
This is what grandmother said, as often, whun
boy,
jumped up and ran out of doors reckless
hobble-de-hoy.
Always set your chair back when you are
going away;
Don't leave it in the middle of the room o.
standing carelessly."
These words, repeated long ago, come ever
fresh to mind,
When little duties are o'erlooked or left to lag
behind.
In the daily walks of busy life, when we think
we haven't time
To be orderly and almost look upon politeness
as a crime,
We are quite too apt, from carelessness, to
think, if not to say,
That 1t matters not if we forget to set our
chairs away.
But it will be found that daily life will be
more worth the living
If we blend, in harmony, the precepts of re-
ceiving and of giving;
If we heed the tender chidings dealt out in
childhood's day,
And always "set our chair back when we are
going away"
Clark W. Bryan in Good Housekeeping
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-12-07


One of the most wonderful timekeep-
ers known to the horologist was made
in London about 100 years ago and sent
by the president of the East India COM
pany as a gift to the emperor of China.
The case was made in the form of a
chariot, in which was seated the figure
of woman. This figure was of pure
ivory and gold and sat with her right
hand resting upon a tiny elock fastened
to the side of the vehicle. A part of the
wheels which kept track of the flight of
time were hidden in the body Of tiny
bird, which had seemingly just alighted
upon the lady's finger.
Above was canopy SO arranged as to
conceal q silver bell This bell was fit
ted with a miniature hammer of the
same metal, and although it appeared to
have no connection with the clock regu-
larly struck the hours and could be
made to repeat by touching a diamond
button on the lady's bodice. In the char
lot at the ivory lady's feet there was a
golden figure of dog, and above and in
front were two birds apparently flying
before the chariot. This beautiful orna
ment was made almost entirely of gold
and was deliberately decorated with pre-
cious stones.-St. Louis Republic.

BILE, all germs OF CHAMBERS in the county
is evidenced by tile active measures
being taken in the premises by County
Judge Won Rosenberg and Mr.. V.O.
Weed, chairman OF the permanent
examining committee A few DAYS
ago Mr. Weei wired San Antonio to
have the United States post veterin-
airy surgeon come to Aus
tin and settle the dispute.
or rather difference of opinion that
seems to exists between the veteri-
nary surgeons of this city. Not being
able TO secure hi services Messrs
Weed and Won Rosenberg waited on
Governor HOgg and requested him to
send for the members of the Live
Stock Commission created by the last
Legislature. Their request was COM
piled with and kilograms were at once
sent to Messrs w, M. Moore of Gal.
weston, and II. J. Kleburg of Alice,
directing them to come 10 Austin at
once. They are expected to reach the
city today and will proceed to ex-
anime and pass sentence on six sus-
pectt d cases Mr.. Weed now has In
charge, four OF them being at Boards
Wood yard and the other two over In
East Austin. Mr.. Weed SAYS he will
at once begin thorough canvass Of
the city and county and take prompt
and effective measures with all sus-
pected cases.

ADAMs .NAlVETE.
a Woman Defends the First Man From
Charges of Cowarhice.


Charges of COwardice.
And the Lord said, Hast thou eaten
of the tree whereof I commanded thee
thou shouldst not eat!" The man said.
1.-The woman whom thou gavest to be
with me-she gave me of the tree and l
did eat" This, it has been held for CEN
turies, was Adams great sin, for which
he was driven out of the garden and
his descendants, even to the present gen.
GRAFTON, compelled to work for living
In addition to bearing the consequences.
of his error Adam has been denounced
through all succeeding centuries for his
cowardice and lack of gallantry in try
ing to throw the blame upon the woman
who had been given to be with him
Goods first, best gift to man."
We are glad, therefore, that even after
5000 years of unmerited condemnation
which the memory of our great pro-
genitor has had to bear there has arisen
one person who dares to speak for him.
And it is all the more fortunate that
that person is a woman-a member of
the sex whom Adams words, by a
wrong Interpretation, were held to have
maligned. This person is Mrs. Caroline
f. Corbin, distinguished authoress. In
her latest book she says of Adams plea:
''This is not the expression of cow
ardice, but of the innocent and native
belief that anything which this lovely
being, fresh from Gods hand, proposed
must be right, and right or wrong
must be done. 1t is a trait which has
come down in unbrozen continuity of
inheritance to the latest born of Adams
sons"
The thought is new one, but there is
not man alive and capable of appreci-
ating Mrs. Corbin's argument who will
not indorse it. Where is there a man to-
day, barring few crusty old bachelors,
who wouldnot have done the same thing
under like circumstances? The woman
was beautiful, the apple was good, and
Adam was an unsophisticated, ingenious
young man unaccustomed to the little
social arts and receptions that the
daughters of Mother Eve have learned
from her example.
We insist that Adam is indicated,
and that Mark Twain's tears over his
grave were deserved tribute. Now,
let the building of his monument pro-
coed. And let it be recorded thereon
that she was kind, loving and obedient
husband. Troy Times.

A Striking Presentiment.

1t is curious how future events are &C.
casionally prefgured by some anticipa-
tory token which, unlike presentiments
and premonitory dreams, makes perhaps
no impression at the time on those whom
they concern.
Here is a striking example. One Of
Charles Dickens sons, from some childish
oddity of expression in his large, won
dering eyes, was given by his father the
very unique sobriquet of the ocean
Specter," by which he was always called.
The great novelist never knew of the
weird significance his playfully bestowed
appellation was to bear, for he himself
had been nearly two years in his grave
at the time his little "Ocean Specter,"
then lieutenant in the royal navy, died
and was buried at sea.-London Tit-Bits
