Citizenship Begins at Home.

$50 far what have had to say has
dealt mainly with our relations with
one another in what may be called the
service OF the state. But the basis of
good citizenship is in the home. A
man must be good son, husband and
father, woman good daughter,
wife and mother, first and foremost.
There must be no Sinking of duties
in big things or little things. The
man who will not work hard for his
wife and his little ones; the woman
who shrinks from bearing and rearing
many healthy children; these have no
place among men and women who are
striving upward and onward. OF
course, the family is the foundation
of all the things in the state. Sins
against pure and healthy family
life are those which of all others are
sure in the end to be visited most
heavily upon the nation in which they
take place. We must beware more
over, not merely of the great sins, but
of the lesser ones which when taken
together cause such an appalling ag-
gregate of misery and wrong. The
drunkard, the lewd liver, the coward,
the liar, the dishonest man, the man
who is brutal to OF neglectful of par.
ents, wife or children-of all these the
shrift should be short when we speak
of decent citizenship. Every ounce of
effort for good in your associations is
part of the ceaseless war against the
traits which produce such men. But
in addition to condemning the gross
er forms Of evil we must not forget to
condemn also the evils of bad temper,
lack of gentleness, nagging and whin-
ing fretfulness, lack of consideration
for others-tbe evils of selfishness in
all its myriad forms. Each man or
woman mustrememberh his or her duty
to all around, and especially to those
closest and nearest, and such remem-
hrance is the best possible prepare
tive to doing duty for the state as a
whole.
Stand by Golden Rule.
I'VE ask that these associations,
and the men and women who take
part in them, pratice the Christian
doctrines which are preached from
every true pulpit. The Decalog and
the Golden Rule must stand as the
foundation of every successful effort
to better either our social or our po-
litical life. Fear the Lord and walk
in his ways" and Let each man love
his neighbor as himself, when we
practice these two precepts, the reign
of social and civic righteousness will
be close at hand Christianity teach
es not only that each of us must so
live as to save his own soul, but that
each must also strive to do his whole
duty by his neighbor. We cannot live,
up to these teachings as We should;
for in the presence of infinite might,
and infinite wisdom the strength of
the strongest man is but weakness.
and the keenest of mortal eyes see
but dimly. But each of us can at least
strive, as light and strength are given
him, toward the ideal, Effort along
any one line will not suffice. We

1t is a foolish affectation to deny it.
But it is not the only good thing, and

 INTERNATIONA MULE CARS.

The Unromantic Trolley Drives Out a
 Luxury of the Texas Frontier.
 The passing of the mule car into the limbo of things remembered is an event of historical importance to this city. Much as the residents of El Paso are pleased to secure up to date street traction, there are old timers who will look wistfully upon the little box, and listen somewhat sadly to the last jingle of the bell as the cars run their final trip down Fl Paso street. No one re- grets the passing of the mule car, says "The Fl Paso Times" but many have often wished the minstrel man who wanted souvenirs had been sufficiently supplied with shawl straps, so that he could have carried them away with him when he visited El Paso
 For nearly twenty years the boxes have wended their slow way to and from Mexico and the United States, and many is the time when the passen- ger, consented to give up half an hour to ride a mile or less, has settled down in the corner to muse upon the table manners of the Mexican driver, who spread his frugal meal upon the plat form behind the dashboard. There are those who have forgotten the vexatious delays occasioned by the muleteer tar rying to play bear with a liquid eyed

senorita through the crack of roman tic adobe, while the little mule swished . the files, and the passengers settled themselves for nap or smoke
 It was great day in Fl Paso when the first international street car, drawn by mule, passed over the architectural wonder that spans the surging sands of the Rio Grande. People, big and little, gathered to watch the marvel glide over the street threads, and to follow at a respectable distance to help it lift the car back on the track when it ran off.
 It was the day of great things on the border, and this was the only city in the world that boasted an international carline No one cared then how long it required the cars to make the trip nor how often they ran off the track. Ev- cry man was a man of patriotism and muscle and helped to lift it on the rails again-he was proud of his home enter prise. But now electricity has come to work marvels and runs cars over people

A RIrIIDoG,s STRENGTH

"A bulldogs strength" said young athlete, lis the greatest thing in the world I was up at the Pythian Ath- letic club the other night, and there was in the gymnasium a white bulldog nam ed Lew. Lew was muzzled, and they were heaving a 12-pound medicine ball at him. It would strike him hard enough to stun an average man, but he would just roll over and over from the blow, and then jump up, perfectly fresh, and race after the ball as hard as he could tear. He would knock headforemost into posts and pillars; you would think he'd break his skull; but those crashes feazed him no more than the pat of a woman's hand. They took his muzZle off finally and rolled a 50-pound dumb b-bell at him. He took the dumb bell in his mouth and mo- body could catch him. He rushed about, circling and lodging, as though he carried nothing, but you could see the muscles standing out all over his beautiful white, hard body. He only weighs fifty-three pounds.-Philadel- phia Record.
