A certain small boy had told lie.
Very sadly his mother had reproved
him for it, and to help him 10 resist
temptation she said
"Now, my boy, II you ever feel like
telling lie again, come to mamma and
she will help you fight against it."
The lad went of with 4 sober face.
Only few moments elapsed, however.
before he appeared again, and, with an
eager smile, said
Mamma. want to tell a lie"
"Well, my dear, tell me what you
want to say" said the mother.
IL want 10 tell that same old lie over
again" observed the boy.

AT SUNSET.
1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you've left undone,
Which gives you a bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun,
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear.
Are your haunting ghosts tonight,
The stone You might have lifted
Ont OF brothers way,
The bit q! heartsOmc counsel
You were hurried too much to say,
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsomc tone
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough of your own
The little act of kindness,
So easily out Of mind;
Those chances to be angels
Which every mortal finds
They come in night and silence
Each chill reproachful wrath
When hope Is faint and tagging,
And a blight has dropped on faith,
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late,
And its not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of hcartache
At the setting of the sun.

afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. Just three
years today, lacking two days, the
citizens of Austin by practically
unanimous vote, voted the bonds from

granite wall now stretches across the
Colorado river, an everlasting and en-

Many have been the obstacles and

Since the sheriff's last report to the

arrests have been made in this county.
Sixteen prisoners were in Jail at that
time. Some of these have since
worked out their fines on the roads or
at the county farm, and been dis
charged. Twenty-four prisoners are
confined in the Jail at present. The
cases of four of these have been ap-
pealei. w. j. Watson was tried and
convicted at last term of court for aid
ing prisoners to escape, and given five
years in the penitentiary. His case
was appealed and recently affirmed.

necessarily be unusually heavy.

TIRED HUMANITY.
Extract from Lecture Delivered at the
Surgical Hotel, Columbus, Ohio.

Surgical Hotel, Columbus, Ohio.
The physician who fails to recognize
the wonderful influence that spring.
time has upon disease and health will
fail, to large extent, in the practice
of medicine. The most pronounced
type OF disease is modified by it,
and the most robust health is dis
turbed by it. During April and May
the peculiar electrical condition of the
atmosphere is such that the sick and
we'll, weak and strong, feel it's effect.
The one word which describes this
feeling better than any other in the
English language is "Tired." The
strength may not be much impaired,
the appetite may remain fairly good,
yet the same complaint is heard
morning, noon and night, "How tired
1 feel" Sleep does not seem to
refresh, nor food give strength
Tired, tired, tired! One hears ii on
every hand. The bookkeeper YEARLY
foots up his column of figures with
tired brain and tired nerves The
faithful housewife drags herself
through the daily routine of her du.

tired a. the end. Everybody seems
to tire everybody. Nothing seems tc
rest any body. Tie patient forgets to
complain Of his aches and pains, and
takes up the universal complaint Of

vigor and health. finds himself unable
to entirely shake off "that tired feel.

severity and universality as civiliza-

would do without Pe-ru-na. 1t
seems as ii the dlscoV-
cry aud introduction of this
medicine was the most timely and
fortunate coincidence that ever occur

no greater one ever existed than the
want of some reliable spring medicine

saying that he was essentially clever man,
but he ought never to be allowed 10 talk

guest at a dinner iii company with Sir w.

Once when she was travelling by rail in

Her Memory still Holds Sway.

or II you can make believe that you once
were such boy, you must remember thal
you we're once in love with giri great
deal older than yourself. am not speak
ing OF the big schoolgirl with whom you
thought you were in love for one little
while lust because she wouldn't look at
You and treated you like little boy.
She had after all but tuppenny tempo
rarv susriority to you. and after all in the
bottom Of your irritated little soul you
knew IL You knew that. proud beauty
that she was. She might have TO lower her
eoIors to her little sister before that young
mink got into the first class and compare
lively long dresses.
No. lam talking Of the girl you loved
who was not only really grown up and too
old for YOU. but grown up almost into old
manhood and too old perhaps for any one
She was not, OF course, quite an old mald'
but she was so nearly an old maid as TO he
out Of active competition with her juniors
which permitted her TO be her natural,
simple self and TO show you the real charm
Of her womanhOOd.
Neglected by the men, not yet old enough
TO take to coddling young girls after the
manner Of motherly old maids, she found a
hearty and genuine pleasure in your boyish
friendship, and you-you adored her. You
saw Of course, as others saw, the faded dull
ness Of her complexion; you saw the wee
crows feet that gathered in the corners OF
her eyes when she laughed. you saw the
faint touches Of white among the crisp lit
tie curls over her temples; you saw that
the keenest wind Of fall brought the red TO
her cheeks only in two bright spots, and
that no soft spring air would ever bring
her back the rosy, pink flush OF glrlhood;
YOU saw these things as others saw them
no, indeed, you did not; you saw them as
Others could not, and they only made her
the more dear TO you. And you were hav-
ing one Of the best and most valuable ex-
periences OF your boyhood, to which you
may look back now, whatever life has
brought you, with a smile that has in 1t
nothing Of regret, OF derision or OF bitter
ness. -Scribner's.
