TIE HEDGE.

Last night ] dreamed / stood once C5re
Beneath our garden wall:
saw the willows bending gray,
The popular springing tall
Or, gardens Of Cur gladsonle youth,
On, steeple in the sky,
Oh, common, stretching Far and wide,
How gay at heart was 1!
Ny hand raised to lift the latch. ,
But 10! the gate was gone!
The hedge reared up a front Of thorn,
Straight as q wall OF stone.
Without gate, without gap
On, dear and sacred ground,
The hedge reared up is front Of thorn,
UnbroiEen al around:
Oh. years that hold our earlier prirnel
Youth, when we laughed and cried
There IS no gate to let US back

and who now hurried away.
AS he came out in the street some
thing of her evident desire not to be
seen convinced him that the retreating
figure was that of his wife. He fol-
lowed quickly. and as soon as she no.
ticed this she broke into run.
Now Tom realized that it was risky
thing to run after and overtake a flying
woman. especially if she turned out not
TO be the person OF whom he was in
search. But Tom was desperate, and
he took the risk.
Seeing that she could not get away,
she stopped at lamp post, leaning
against it. and as he came up to her he
heard the shuddering cry:
"Oh, Toml'
Lillian" he said hoarsely, grasping
her wrist, ''what is the meaning of this?
Have you gone crazy?"
She leaned against the lamp post and
wept.

resistance she accompanied him, in p
silence broken only by her sobs, back
to the house

missed by the grief of her mistress that
the friend who was i'll had died
Tom led his wife into their sitting
room, and there she sank into the chair,
covering her face with her hands She
saw by his stern demeanor that he sus-
pected her guilt.
He closed the door, and then standing
before her, said, sternly:,

THANKSGIVING DAY.

There were feast days held by the
Romans and the Greeks. The Jews
also had their feast days, but in all
probability Thanksgiving day origl-
mated in Holland. The first held was
on October 3rd in commemoration CT
the raising of the seige OF the city OF
Leyden in 1915. Just after this the
''Pilgrims" sought refuge from relig-
ious persecution in Holland and then
came to this country, bringing with
them the custom of Thanksgiving
day. Thanksgiving days were order
ed by the Continental Congress, but
it was peculiarly a New Eng
land custom for a long while
President Lincoln made it national
by proclamation in 1864. President
Lincoln also inaugurated another Gus

disorderly route, caused by the panic
which took possession of them when
they met the Southern in battle array.

how Manufacturers Of the East We're

There it no getting around the fact
that the country has just seen harder
times than ever before. All the fac
tories of the North have been closed
for the want of ready each, and in
order to realize quickly on the stock
they had on hand during the panic
they sold at almost any price offered
them. Fortunately for US and our
friends we were compelled to pur-
chase our entire stock for our new
store during this panic. OF course as
the manufacturers found we were in
the market for so large stock, and for
cash at that, they fairly bid against
each other in order TO get our orders.
All we had to do was to take the low.
est offer, and the consequence of all
this is that we are now loaded up
with a tremendous stock of all kinds
of furniture, carpets, stoves, sewing
machines and pianos and organs. All
these were not only bought at less
than it would cost to make them by sc
per cent, but in addition to that we
took advantage of cut rates of freight
by which alone we saved over $1,000
OF all these good things we are now
ready to give you the benefit. While
we cannot advertise all our prices

II
Track Yesterday Morning.
Yesterday morning at 1880 o'clock,
as the incoming mixed freight and
passenger train was pulling into Aus
tin, it ran over and instantly killed
Mr.. James NJ. Mitchell in front of his
home, which faces the railroad track
one-fourth mile east Of Comal street.
From what the trainmen say it was
deliberate case of suicide. They say
that ss the train neared the Oil mill
they saw man standing about three
or four feet from the side of the track
looking towards the train. From his
position they thought he had gotten
off the track for the purpose of allow
ing the train to pass. No thought Of
what was to follow entered the en-
gineer's head and he came on without
checking his speed. When about II
or 10 feet from Mr.. Mitchell, the en-
gineer says he turned his face towards
the track and stretching his hands
out deliberately threw himself across
the rails face downward. TO stop the
train was i'm possible, and in an in
slant almost, it had passed over the
body of the PROSTATE man, terribly
mangling it and causi instant
death.
The head was severed from the
shoulders and great hole made IN
the side of it: both arms were nearly
cut off, as was one leg, and the breast
was caved in. Save tor a few bruises
the face was not disfgured.
Justice of the Peace Barbour was
summoned to hold the inquest and
the remains were carried 10 the un.

for burial.
