Children! Did you ever think how the
same band and the same school children
make enthusiasm for SO many different
causes? The band boys don't care a hang

they get their money for playing, and the

The McCabe Murder.

Laredo Times: Capt. J. A. Brooks
and Ranger Fowles, District At
torney John A. Walls and Mr.
Henry McCabe, brother of the late
DR.. A. d. McCabe, reached this city
at three o'clock yesterday afternoon
on their return from Garlic, Zapa-
Ia county, where they went to in
vestigate and endeavor to ferret out
the miserable coward, who assas-
sinated DR.. McCabe last Monday
night. They could find out nothing
definite and were unable to secure
even enough information upon
which to make an arrest. The as
sassination was committed just
about as was previously reported in
these columns. The shot was fired
from behind a brush fence in front
OF DIR. McCabe'S house ana at least
dozen different people saw a man
behind the fence at different hours
during that night but none of them
paid enough attention to him to
even recognize him.
Mr.. Henry McCabe took charge
of the deceased's estate as Temporal
nv administrator. He will now find
DR.. are Nc 'abe'S wife and chill
dren, who the heirs to quite bit
of property, life insurance policy
and some money in bank. All hope
of discovering the assassin is now
about given up.

Take a Walk.
From the Chicago Post.


Are you tied to the city and moping be.
cause you can't get vacation, or because
your vacation is over? Take walk Part
of the country is at your city doorstep if
you will but look for 1t. Are the trees all
cut down? Look up; there are the clouds,
Thoreau saw men telling the trees.
Thank God, man can't cut down the
Clouds" he said and, like the true philos-
opher, he took comfort in his clouds. There
is much more than clouds to be seen in the
city. Take a walk, but understand that
the legs are only two means to an end. Use
your eyes. You have neighbors in the city.
Get acquainted. What is that dartin9
bird? Is it the martin in his Tyrean pur-
pie, the tree swallow In his Irish green or
the chimney swift in his sooty black? Find
out. You have all three birds in the city,
where you say nothing is to be seen but
smoke and stone.
Go to the vacant lots and get acquainted
with the gopher and his family. Skirt the
park lagoon and look out for minks. They
are there though perhaps you don't be-
lfeve it. Red-winged blackbirds and the
up-ups you knew as a boy in the swamp
stretches and along the streams are nest
ing in "Streeterville' Take a walk. There
is the lake. You haven't much of a soul
If you are tired of the lake. 1t has moro
tones than any organ and more hues than
any canvas. Byron did not mean that the

that the only rapture was by the lonely

for the first time in their lives, to court that
night. When the lord chamberlan's invi-
taten arrived Joe Miller had felt a pardon
able pride in achieving what others had de-
clared to be the impossible Moreover, 1t
was an immense triumph for his wife, who,
as Miller put it, was easily pleased with
tlffies.' He liked not so much to please
her as to show that Joe Miller's wife was
as good as any other mans wife There
fore, Joe Miller should not only have been
at court that night. but in the eyes of the
world should have been one of the most
self-satisfied of those who had won royal
favor.
Instead, Joe Miller was hanging out of a
dark window taking pleasure in the sor-
rows of others. Yet the Rand leader was
known on all sides as man of happy tenn
permanent and great sympathies, whose
heart and purse were always at the dispo-
Sal of those in trouble.
A door opened in his room. He shut the
window and switched on the light. A hos
pital nurse stood at the entrance to the
study.
You may come now, sir"
Up the broad staircase and through long
passages the nurse and the master of the
house passed into a room which contained a
Small cot. Beside II stood another nurse.
In front OF the fire two doctors whispered.
Joe Miller went straight to the cot. His
rough. weather-beaten hands never nodded
into shape by even the best manicurists,
clasped nervously but gently the tiny fin
gers of his child. The big, black head. with
scarcely a gray hair in it, bent anxiously
over the boys face.
"Jack!'
No answer.
''Jacki It's me! Your dad, It's fardier'
The child tossed uneasily in his fever. His
eyes were open, but apparently he saw
nothing. The powerful hands frightened al
most insensibly upon the hot little wrists
and fingers. The pressure brought momen-
tary consciousness Two blue eyes looked
knowingly into those of Joe Miller.
Where you been. fardie?" 1t was a
quavering little voice.

boy and get we'll quickly"

pleasure and conceit. He kisses the lips

for it. She had agreed to that before: WHY
all this fuss now? She herself had said
that she would not be fit mother to any
child.
The girl steals forward to the porch of a
large house. For minutes. which evidently
seem hours to the boy the bundle is pressed
convulsively to her breast. She puts 1t
down in safe corner and silently rejoins
the boy in the shadow of another house.
The faint cry of child feeling for its
mother is heard above the steady croaking
