Now, Mr.. Preacher, confess that

One of the strongest evtde ices Ct
the general prosperity of Waco il
the fact that there is not a profes.
siona' beggar in the city, nor is the
eye offended or the heart sickened
by the da ly sight of poor suffering
humanity, bruised and mutiat,d in
many forms, such as exists in al.
most every other city. And then,
again, the Geyser City is remarka-
bly, free from the deeds of violence
and blood-shed which disgraced the
other large cities of Texas, The
real good breeding OF the Wacoites
is we'll known and morality is above
standard gauge. So, having clean
illness, godliness and solid basis of
prosperity to bank on, this place is
good enough for any son of gun to
live in.
When the handsome auditorium
shall have been completed on Provi.
dent Heights Waco will be amply
provid ID for in the way Of summer
amusements. The situstion is most
desirable for place of this dascrip-
ton and those interested promise
that the theatre will be a gem in
every respect. 1t will be used as a
place for entertainments of all sorts
as we'll as play house. There will
now be little excuse for our people
to leave the city during the summer
to undergo hardships and enormous
expense at watering places on the
plea of recreation and recuperation,
because they can "recreate" in the
beautiful parks and two theatres
and recuperate in the rejnvenatine
waters here at home.

the close of his administration and

and law abiding cities Of the state
Come to Waco, governor. This
city is already the home of many
distinguished men of affairs, besides
being the educational and literary
center of Texas, community com
posed of refined, hospitable, cult
waited people; a place where the
shooting irons are rusting on the
wall, where the goose hangs low
enough for any one to reach him
who is not too lazy; place, gov
ernor, where white winged Peace
hovers over a happy, prosperous,
contented people.
The leading educators are work
ing to inc orporate industrial schools
with our public school system, This
is coming down to bard-pan com
mon sense. What's the use, fol
instance, of stufiing the pate of a
boy who is gong to be butcher,
perhaps, with trigonometry and
Chinook? Or why should a labor
er's daughter learn Greek and scale
the heights of Parnassus, as it were,
who will probably marry a laboring
man, who, in response to her

whether he does not think the

use will it be for a boy t, learn all
