In the existence of Southwestern
railway towns, Texarkana marks an
exception to the common rule and
may well claim to be one OF favored
few, which, by u special dispensation
of Providence or a rare stroke of con-
tinued good fortune, have been per-
mitted TO escape the ususl fate Of such
communities. The effect of boom and
recoil, premature development and
unfounded prosperity have all been
spared us and our city from its infan-
cy, has pursued the beaten path Of
steady growth, healthful development
and sustained prosperity. Indeed,
few towns Of like age and size in this
Southern country have achieved the
enviable position AZ railway and
commercial center now occupied by
Texarkans, by such certain, plain and
practical methods rs those pursued by
IL from the beginning to the present
stage Of lis unqualifedly successful
career. That the city will continue
its onward march toward the higher
stages Of commercial and general inn
portance upon the same safe and sue
cessful lines of industrial progress IL
to be both hoped for and believed,
and that such prosperity will be
achieved in the not far distant future
is practically assured.

From rolling clouds and landscapes wide

And BY the margin OF wood
In some seouestered nook TO rest
Where wild flowers spring; gentle MOOD
Ofsweet content here fills the breast
And violets clustering here and there
Invite visitor to share
The peace and quiet OF a scene
That hath beauty all its own,
Where woods and thickets make screen
To hide the world, and hither blown
Come breathings Of some milder CLINE.
Faint whisperings Of the summer time.
A chirping sound from yonder copse,
A rustic in the dry leaves near
Make known o comrade; there he hop:
bush will hide all he holds dear,
And DER this spot there rests spell
Whose meaning he alone can tell.
No need has he OF anxious thought
y No care to hoard his winter store.

He ends the day, nor finds 1t long.

If we look intently at bright star
we notice that the color and intensity
of the light is constantly changing
from brilliancy to almost total obscur-
itv. and from bright red to blue,
orange, yellow, etc. This is the phe-
nomenon usually spoken OF as the
"twinkling'' or scintillation OF the
stars. The ''twinkling" will be mo-
ticed more plainly when the star is
near the horizon, and will diminish in
intensity as it rises until it is near the
zenith. at which time the twiukling is
scarcely noticeable. 1t must be con-
fessed that this twinkling has never
been explained to the satisfaction OF
all investigators. However, it is gen.
orally believed to be due to controlling
causes within the earth's atmosphere.
That the cause may be looked FOL
within the belt of air that surrounds
our planet Ito particles of vapor, dust
etc. may be inferred from the fact
that the planets never exhibit the
characteristic twinkling so noticeable
in the star. One reason for this Is ths
sise (apparent) Of the planets. TIT
planets each show q sensible disk ever
to the naked eye, while the stronges
instrument in the world only show

stance in the atmosphere would me
