~HOw shall habit break?''
As you did that habit make,
AS You gathered you must lose.
As you yielded now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind us neck and wrist:
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ere free we stand.
As we builded. stone by stone,
We must toll, unhelped. alone.
Till the wall is overthrown.
But remember, as we try.
Lighter every test goes by:
Wading in. the stream grows deep
Toward the center's downward sweeps >.
Backwardsturn. each step ashore
ShallOwer is than that before.
All, the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste:
Doing what must be undone

Kite borne threads. till lines are fast
And habit builds the bridge at last.

sTRoTHER Is THE WINNER.
For Once in Abilene's History an
Editor Il "RecoRnized.


The posiofllce appointment II made

is the wi ner, The appointment was
made yesterday afternoon and tn,
first news OF 1t was received by q
special telegram TO the REFLECTOR
just after the daily had left the
press.
Mr.. Strother will take his position
as soon as the appointment IL confirmed
and his bond approved which will take
two or three weeks. lie has made a
hard HVht for the place and has reason
to congratulate himself M his success.
In Messrs. V. b Cosad and j. T.
Pfendergast he had strong competi-
tors, but his own prominence in State
Democratic circles as well as Senator
Martins Influence carried the day.
The administration seems disposed
to favor the editorial brethren aud 1t
ia to its credit. No class Of citiz ans
does 40 much for the party. Mr..
Strother is n good businessman, wide
awake editor and will make a capable
and popular official. The REFLECTOR
congratulatts him on his appointment.
There will be no change in the manage
ment Of the News, which will be con-
tinued under Mr.. Strother's super.
vision-or at least under that Of
members Of the family-as before.
Many words Of commentator will
he said TO the outgoing incumbent, ID.
Il. G ,rden, and all Will be deserved.
For four years he has filed the
responsible place with entire satisfac.
tinn to the patrons Of the Abilene
Office and with a businesslike and
prompt manner that has won praise
alike from friends and political
opponents. lie has made his work n
study and will step down from his
official position with record second
t. none in the postal service Of the
government for efficiency and ability
and his successor will deserve much
credit II he retains the high standard
reached by Mr.. Gorden in postoillce
management.
All the clerks and carriers are under
the civil service rules aud none will be
removed without cause and with such
capable assistants as the office now has
that contingency is not to be cousid.
