The WACO News, with commend
able persistency, still hammers away
on the proposed Cotton Palace. The
Star ipdulg es the disinterested hope
that the Palace may be built. 1t is
matter Of surprise to the writer,
knowing so well as he does that
spirit Of progressive enterprise that
has long distinguished the citizens
of Waco, that pause should occur
in the erection Of this Cotton Palace.
1t is not in keeping with the usual
public spirit of the Central City.
When mere village Waco built,
at great cost, her suspension
bridge, at that time the only struc-
ture of its kind, save one or two, IN
the United States. BY her own
exertions and with her own money
she built her frat railroad-the
Waco Tap. Through and by this
spirit of enterprise Waco is today
one of the most important cities OF
the state, and as for the Cotton
Palace-it won't do to let it fall
through, that's all.-Gatesvllle Star.

mence in earnest. Waco has no
thought of letting the Cotton Palace

Don't Deceive or Brighten Children.

There ought to be law and penalty
attached to the crime of rearing
children by deception. To expect and
demand integrity and veracity from
them after we have lied to them to
frighten them into obedience is some
thing unparalleled. The idea that they
must tell the truth after we have de-
ceived them and ruined the happiness
Of their childhood years is preposter.
Gus. Cruelty to animals has penalty
cruelty to children has penalty, but
the cruelty exercised toward children
by parents, relatives and nurses has
no penalty this side the grave.
The child is taught that this fair
world is pandemonium, ghosts goblins,
bears. lions and tigers are lurking in
the darkness, and fight ready to
devour the child. In the garret, in
the cellar, in the pantry, in the bed
room everywhere monsters, and all to
enforce obedience and make towards
of the children. We know it all by
experience. Our childhood years
were darkened and blighted by the
lies told US by older sisters and brothers
and others. We were afraid to 90 to
bed and covered ourself up in the
middle of the bed thinking ourself
safe as the ostrich with his head in a
sand bank.
Mothers and nurses don't lie to
your children to enforce obedience.
and then expect of them innocence
and truth. Be truthful yourself and
then demand the same of your child
ren. There are no ghosts and gobins
here. This is Kosmos, a beautiful
world as the Greeks called it. The
sun shines as grandly as when he first
opened his burning eye upon Gre
atoms dark domain, as when his rays
first fell among the bowers of Eden.
The flowers are just as fragrant and
beautiful as those that bloomed in
Paradise. The mountains are as
grand, the rivers as grand and the
valleys as lovely perhaps as they were
when God spoke them into being.
Mans heart only has fallen, and per
consequence, he earns his bread by
the sweat of his brow. The heavens
above us cleaning with the con-
stellations of the dark blue canopy OF
God are the wrong side then what
must the right side bel
Nay verify; teach your children
that there are no demons and goblins
lurking in the shrouds of night. Do
not blight their childhood years and
make towards of them. There is
far better way of training them in the
way they should go.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.

When the OLD New York hotel was
closed there had beeo d free dlstribu-
ton of old Bibles placed in the guest
rooms years before by the Bible
society.
1t occurred then to Johnnie Farrall,
who had managed the cafe for ten
years, that it would be graceful act
to have the staff of the hotel put their
autographs in the books and present
them to the patrons and guests as
souvenirs. So the front pages were
duly signed, and as each patron took
his farewell drink he was presented
with one of the volumes.
Johnie took one OF the Bibles home
with him, and his wife in examining
the book discovered In a pocket in
the back cover marriage certificate,
which stated that on a certain day in
March, 1890, Annie German, Of
Danville, Va, was married to Ralph
Preston, of Richmond, Va, by the
Rev. ID. Deans, of the church of the
Strangers of this city. The young
couple had eloped.
The romantic incident had made
an impression on the hotel people,
and Farrall determined to write to
Ralph Preston and tell him of his
find. This he did, but received no
reply.
Last summer one OF the New York
dailies referred IN paragraph to the
giving away OF the Bibles as a piece
of sacrilege. BY some strange fate a
copy of their paper has recently
reached the notice of Mrs. Preston.
She in thoughtless moment while a
bride at the old hotel mad placed her
certificate of marriage In the Bible in
her room and had forgotten all about
1t. Some difference arose between
her and her young husband while on
their European tour and they sepa-
rated. While at small village in
Switzerland he was seized with fatal
illness, and in only few months the
young bride found herself widow.
She returned TO Richmond only to
hind that the Preston family would
not recognize the marriage. She had
no proof, as both her husband and
the clergyman were dead, and has
born this humiliation in silence ever
since. When she saw the paragraph
about the Bibles the remembrance
came like flash of the disposition
she had made of the certificate and
with the doubtful hope of finding it
she came to New York and called on
John Farrall, and was put in posses
sion of the precious document, which
not only insnres her proper participa.
tion IN her husbands large estate
but restores her honorable position in
society.
Mrs. Preston offered a liberal re.
ward to John for what he had done
IN the matter. but ne refused all re.
compense, feeling amply repaid by
the pleasant results.

The New York Tribune remarks
There is good deal of talk in certain
quarters, mainly from people who
think themselves wise above what is
written and who take keen delight in
their half-knowledge, adverse to the
use of the bicycle by women. The
charge that it is immodest for women
to ride the bicycle is not deserving of
serious attention. A modest woman
is as modest on wheel as in draw
ing-room, and even if she wears what
are classed as "bloomers her cos.
tune is not as deserving OF notice as
the bathing suits which women wear
unchallenged at all our seaside resorts.
The question whether bicycle riding
is injurious to women's health is a
most important one the answer can
only be given as the result of expert
ence. Undoubtedly harm has been
done BY excessive riding; but SO it
may be caused by too much walking
or rowing. The general testimony
seems to be that the use of the bicycle
IN moderation is beneficial to women,
and in some cases the results have
been found exceedingly good. Exer-
else on the wheel is so exhilarating
that beginners are doubtless often
tempted to ride too much. Against
this they should be warned but the
bicycle rightly employed will in all
probability promote health and hap
piness.
