Stavinr Of Utter Destruction.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat's Houston,
Texas, special correspondent:
There is a general movement among
the saloon men of the State to obey the
Sunday law. A year ago there was con-
ference of wholesalers and brewery mana.
gers at Galveston, at which it was decided
to the best, interest of every one in the
business to have a!l the laws obeycd strict
]y, but this the retailers felt to be entirely
too much to ask Of them. Since then the
local option sentiment has continued to
spread throughout the State at rate that
was alarming to the liquor interests Now
the tirst-class saloonists in all of the cities
have come to the conclusion that the
wholesalers were right, and they have de-
cided to aid the peace officers in enforcing
the Jaws to the extent they think is de-
manded by local sentiment. In Waco the
saloons are to be kept tightly closed dur
ing. the church hours and aomainally NH: , 50 8;
being adopted in the other cities and
larger towns"

The Weekly is the Paper.

The daily papers are all right if you
want them, but it is the weekly paper
that allvertises your business, your
schools, your churches, your numer-
Gus societies, sympathizes with you in
your affliction anl rejoices in your
prosperity. In short. it is your weekly
paper that mentions the thousand and
one items in which you are interested
during the year and which you do not
find in the daily papers.

The Making of a Man.

All life is variegated. It means happi-
ness as well as sorrow. Mind as well 40
body needs change. A young man needs
relaxation and recuperation. By. it life
gains elasticity: Christianity when it
comes into the heart of man does not drive
the sunshine out. A man is not neces.
sarily Christian because he looks con;
sumptive. Pity with, a long face and a
deep cough is not Christ's idea of religion!
There is nothing antagonistic in religion
to the helpful influence of society. soeiej
ty being the best of character possesses
molding power. 1t will minister to the
lower or the higher ideals of life;, through
it he will either serve God or the devil!
If man has the vulturs instinet. which;
seeks the carrion he will find it. If ne de-:
eires that which is not blest and purest
and best he may possess it. The. thing
that makes the life of modern society So
strenuous is the struggle to keep up. aap-
pearances at whatever cost, and the idea
that they may have that there can be no
fun without filth.

Leading Prayer Meetings.


It ;s very much like being hostess at tho
head Of table full of guests. There ara
the good things to be provided by previous
thought and work, and the invitations to
be sent out. But it is at the table itself
that the finest qualities need to be dis
played. If anything goes wrong the hostess
must never show any annoyance, but rath.
er turn the mistake to good account. u
any important guest fails to come or iS
late, she must blandly smile and make
such adjustments as are possible. Every
one must be made to feel at home. The
bashful and timid young man, while. not
having any important remark aimed
squarely at him, will be drawn into con-
conversing in a most interesting way who
were never suspected of having anything
interesting about them. Occasionally q
learned guest will be kept talking quite by
himself when he has struck on line OF
personal information or experience of pc.
culiar value, but most likely the eonyersa..
ton is general, darting back and forth in q
delightful play of mind on mind. The gaps
between the courses the wise hostess fills
herself with little observations which seem
quite unprecedented, but in reality come
from careful study of her company be-
forehand. Every ready, ever good natureds
ever feeling that the pleasure OF her COM
parry is in her hands, she yet succeeds In
making the guests provide most Of the in>
tc,lectual feast. .. .t1', =,
When you are called upon to lead q
prayer meeting it will be well to give up
the old notion of presiding at q public
function, and adopt the idea Of q hostess
among her guests. If you do, when they
go home they will be likely to thank, you
for the delightful hospitality You have

Tho Leaners and the Llfters.

AS. there are two sorts Of hindrances, 60
there are just two sorts of people in this
world. Ella Wheeler Wilcox has called
them "the leaners and the hfters, and it
is Just the way we meet our hindrances,
our trials, that make us so. Those who
fail to see the hidden purpose of these
heavy trials and fall under the weight or
shift it to other shoulders are the leaners:
And these are they who have not learned
the true source Of strength. Depending
on human strength, which is soon exhaust,
ed, they falter and fall and become the
worlds burden, instead of the worlds bur-
den bearer. But to those whose far-seeing
eyes have read Gods message to o weary
world, these same hindrances are but the
source of an inpouring of Divine powers
and casting their burden on the Lord,
knowing He careth for tnem., they can
bear the burdens Of their weaker breth.
rem. Which will yousbe, "a leaner or "a
lifter% 1t all depends upon your attitude,
toward God. "He is willing to aid you::.,,

upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as cages;
they shall run and not be weary; they
shall walk and not faint"

JUDGE SPEER'S SNEEZE.
How 1t Helped Boy to Find His

From the New York Herald.
Judge Emory Speer of Georgia, says
Chicago special to the New York
Herald, sneezed in the Auditorium An
mex lobby one day recently, and George
Thompson Johnston Kerchew. lost and
miserable, was thereby restored to his
mother.
1t was about 10 o'clock when Will
liam Dunning, clerk, looked over the
counter and saw boy of perhaps 5
years.
Hello, son! What do you want?"
he queried.
Il want mother" answered the little
fellow, and tears were in his ewes.
Certainly, my boy. But don't cry
and Wen get her right away. Now,
tell me her name"
Il don't know" and the little fellow
began sobbing.
Well, then, what's your name?"
queried the clerk.
Il don't know; I've forgotten. But 1
know what it used to be. 1t was
George Thompson"
The clerk looked over the register
mo Thompsons stopping here" he
finally said.
Il know that isn't my mammals
name. You see, my father died, and
mother married again. Then my name
was Johnston, George Johnston"
The clerk again looked over the
books. mo Johnstons here, either" he
added.
mo, that amt it, either" Now moth
er's married again and I've got an
other father, but l don't know his
name" and there were more sobs.
How do you know she is here?"
finally asked the clerk. Maybe she
is somewhere else?"
No, sir. She was married in New
York on Friday" answered the boy
between sobs. "She said she would
come here and meet me. I came all
the way from Denver by myself That's
where grandma lives. Wasn't l brave?"
Judge Speer sat in one of the large
leather chairs not far away. He was
to give an Grafton here and was talk
ing to a member of the Union League
Club. He looked up and was seized
with desire to sneeze. 1t was a
long drawn out "k-e-r-c-h-e-w."
That's it," yelled the boy, and he
danced up and down.
That's what?" demanded the clerk
my name. Didn't you hear that
man yell it?"
The clerk looked and there it was,

The boy was quickly taken to his
mother and in the afternoon Mr.. and

HILL AND MURPHY.
why Should Democrats Depend on
Them!

Them!
Editor Morning News: read in
the Morning News this (Monday)
morning an editorial regarding the po-
litical situation in New York which is
cause for this note. Why depend upon
what Hill, or Murphy want? They
are but two men, let us hope Demo-
Gratis, for then they will fall in with
the will of the majority and do loyal
work for the ticket after it is named.
But it is important that the nominees
are Democrats. 1t is folly to name a
man of the type of Roosevelt. He
represents the Republicans-let them
have a monopoly of that kind of Presi-
dent. We want different type-a
man that can be relied upon to ex-
ecute the law and uphold the consti-
tuition and who will not make the mis-
take of thinking he is the government,
instead of the peoples executive. We
have rather too much of Imperialism,
criminal aggression, grabbing,
trust-breeding policies of the dominant
party to follow in any way, in either
platform or candidates, the lead of the
Republican organization. The South,
by reason of it's adhesion to Demo-
cratic principles and policies, ought to
have large influence in shaping pol
icies and naming candidates, and, it
seems to me, should speak out for
clean men, clean methods and clean
policies. Commercialism, in building
up support for any particular candi-
date, should be branded as a high
crime against Democracy. We can
win if deserve to win, and to deserve
to win we should drop dead issues,
take up the questions of to-day that
need solving and put up clean, able,
qualified candidates, such, for in
stance, as Judge Gray of Delaware. a
broad-minded statesman, and con-
sistent Democrat; or Judge Parker, or
Bailey of Texas, Crumpacker of Ten
nessee, Folk of Missouri, or Williams
of Mississippi.
Then the campaign would mean
something, and there would be an ex-
cuse for the excitement of a presiden-
tial election. But, to succeed COM
mercialism must be eliminated, and
the moral and constitutional questions
of government must be in the fore
front. If our system of government Is
to be preserved the Democrats must
preserve it, and they cannot do that
and allow the selfish ambition of any
man or set of men to rule them-since
they cease to be Democrats when they
become political serfs.
