The Gtrl,. Allowance.

The question of an allowance for the
daughter Of the household is one that is
constantly being discussed. 1t seems to
be pretty generally accepted that it is a
good idea, and teaches girl the value
and use of money. So it does, but it
sometimes teaches her some other things
that need a little guarding against.
A girl with an allowance occasionally
makes it an excuse for penuriousness on
the one side and unhesitating begging
on the other that tend q little to charac-
ter deterioration, says Harper's Bazaar.
While it is perfectly right and proper to
give as an excuse for self denial that
ones allowance is exhausted, or will not
admit of the proposed purchase or pleas
ure trip, it is not right to say, as girls
have been known to say, "Ill go with
you, but you must pay my car fare or
Il have only a dime to spare in the treat
if you will let me come in on that" etc.
have heard a girl reply in answer to
suggestion from companion on short
railroad trip that a parlor car should be
taken, "Oh, if we do that you will have
so nearly spent"
Girls who would shrink" from the idea
of "sponging' under other circumstances
do not hesitate to take advantage Of this
allowance peg upon which to hang 8
good many small meannesses in money
matters.
When it comes to the mothers purse
the cribbing by any means and outright
purloining, indeed, are not disguised

Men Can See Through Their Little

What's the use Of acting differently

In word, what's the use of being af-

doesn't know the difference. That's
where you make the greatest mistake
of your life. Ask any man. He'll tell
you. That's what did the other day.
The man answered most emphatically
in the affirmative. But how can you
tell?' I asked. "Why, 1 can just feel

FROM COKE TO MENARD
FROM OZONA TO STERLING.
All Over The Great Coneho
Country It has Rained.


Sunday about B:B0 p. m. Il
black cloud hung over the horizon
OF the west. north and northwest,
which gradually grew darker and
nearer until finally the great
thundcrs Jared open the portals
and down came the pure waters Of
Heaven to he quickly drunk up by
by thirsty earth.
Starting with n wind and dash
ing shower, with a brilliant cleo
trical display and deep toned
thunder, winch soon ceased, but
only for brief time, when a slow
root soaker began and continued
on to the I'VE sma" hours of past
midnight, and all the tired NOR
tails in peace with man were lulled
to sleep 10y the sweet pitter pat of
the rain up on the roof.
What a God sendl what grass
ID aker it was ! and what refresh
ing and new sensation it gave to
the ozone-formerly dust-laden,
dry and burning, now sweet with
the aroma that ARISES from a
thirsty and quenching earth.
And the beauty is it was gener-
al. The great Concho country
which has been suffering from a
drouth of months, with the ex-
ception of a few local showers,
was thoroughly covered, and will
feel the impulse of new circulation
Of life blood through its veins of
commerce and industry in addi-

tidings of great joy.
The amount of good this
rain will do is incalculable, while
in isolated localities showers had
fallen and the grass was getting
TO be fair grazing, the great body
of the country was getting in n
most deplorable condition and in
some places cattle were actually
starving for grass and no feed TO
give them. Now the rain has
come, the country will take on
new life, the warm sunshine will
bring the grass and the cows will
