THE BIT OF MAGIC LINEN
A STORY FOR WOMEN.

Mother Nature did her house
cleaning without fussing or con-
fusion. She hung out her beauti-
full white raiment - fresh and
fragrant from April showers in
leisurely housewife fashion-and
carpeted the bare earth with the
greenest of sward - while the
clouds smiled back in laughing
sympathy, and the wind whis-
pered secrets as sweet as were the
locust blossoms at the old home
farm.
Here everything was spotlessly
clean. The windows shining from
much polishing; the floors
scrubbed to mirrored whiteness,
paint. varnish, curtains, white
washing, making pictures of such
admirable housewifery that the
neighbors looked with real envy
on the sweet home keeping of
Agnes Brooks.
Everything fresh looking and
beautiful about the place, save
the mistress, herself, who now sat
upon the doorstep in faded calico
wrapper, with untidy hair, and a
smutch across the smooth, round
ed cheek. She had evidently
worked herself up to the verge of
nervous prostration, ready to
laugh or cry at the least provoca-
tion and spoke with pronounced
earnestness to the man who stood
near leaning on the handle of his
hoe.
Il am weary unto death,
nothing but work. work, from
morning until nightl The same
routine of cooking, the same old
dish washing, the early breakfast,
and late supper, with the everlast-
ing sameness of colorless, country
existence lonely and uneventful
as life itself! There is no time
for self-culture; no time for mu-
sic, or reading, and l am tempted
to wish that were single again !"
Easy enough to accomplish
this" said the man with the
hoe, tom Marshall is the lawyer
who takes such suits and no doubt
he would be happy to undertake
your case. What crime more
must | commit to merit such re-
ward?"
Sarcasm enough on the part of
her husband so wrought up beyond
more possible endurance, and
Agnes Brooks did what many
another woman has done-ended
the quarrel in tears.
Bathing her eyes she happened
to look up in the face mirrored in
the looking glass opposite. and
was shocked at her appearance.
Much you look like fussing with
your husband about being weary
of living and tired of work, when
he has-his part of the burthen to

INDECENT ASSAULT.

The editor of a Frankfort paper,
who makes an assault upon the
character and integrity of Justice
John NJ. Harlan, of the L. S. Su-
preme Court. will find that he
meets with but little sympathy
and less consideration from
Frankfort people. Judge Harlan
was raised in this city and our
citizens know and honor him for
his upright and honorable career.

In receiving the committee from
the Board of Trade yesterday, Mr..
Trice not only subscribed literally
to the monthly funds, but assured
the committee that he and his
road stood ready to assist in every
way possible in building up Pal
estine and her trade territory.
During an exchange of ideas, last
ing for some time, the subject of
new railroad came up, and Mr..
Trice gave the assurance to the
committee that his road was not
opposed to the idea of another
railroad for Palestine, but on the
other hand would make as liberal
donation as any interest in the
city toward securing more railroad
facilities. And since there is no
opposition to a new railroad it is
to be hoped the town will get
up and 60 after such an enter
prise. A desire for additional
railroad facilities is not hostile to
the |. & q. N. or its local inter-
ests, but it is business propo-
sition based on the fact that no
large city ever was built up with
a single railroad as an outlet for
its products.

PALESTINE, TEXAS, JUNE 9, 1905.
Resolutions of Respect.

To the Eminent Commander and Sir
Knights of Palestine Commandery
No. 8, Knights Templar. Greeting;
We, your committee, appointed to
draft resolutions expressive of the
feeling of this Commandery on the
death of Sir John s. Mathis, beg to re-
port the following:
With sad hearts and bowed heads we
contemplate the death of the mortal
part of a brave soldier of the cross.
Sir Knight Mathis had passed on
life's journey the mile stone that
marked the highest point but, being
weary, lay down to rest, his head pill
lowed on the burden of useful and
well spent life, and fell into that
dreamless sleep that kissed his eyelids
down and still and while the evening
of life was frightened by the sunlight
of cheerful home he passed to silent
and pathetic dust.
A Knight has fallen with talent of
no common order. True in his friend
ships, faithful in the discharge Of every
duty assigned him, kind and generous,
upright in every act, beloved by all
who knew him; earnest and honest in
every thought, warm in his attach
ments and, above all, conscientious
and devoted to the service of his Mas
ter, Emanuel.
AS citizen he exercised himself for
the public good and lsbored to elevate
his fellowmen. AS husband and
father he was all that those grand
words imply. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we cherish the.mem-
DRY of his manly and christian virtues
and emulate his example of noble de-
votion to an order founded on the
practice Of the christian religion.
:, "oold in DUST his psEisasa ,ssss<zay
But that which warmed it once shall
never die."
Second, That the heartfelt sympa-
thies of this Commsndery are extended
to his family and that copy of these
resolutions be furnished them under
seal of the Commandery.
Oourteously submitted,
j. M. MCMILLAN,
s. P. ALLEN,
w. @. KENDALL.
Unanimously adopted June 2, 1905.

the result that he loses his vigor. his

Such boy being without vitality, loses
his ambition. without which boy never
amounts to much. He falls behind with
his school work ifhe is at school. with
the result that he quits school to soon. or
he loses his job if he is at work, for the
reason that he has not the strength or

Farmers Should Pull Together

TO make the Southern Cotton
Growor's Association a full and
complete success, depends upon the
farmers. Spot cotton went up to
s cents in New York this week;
that means 1-2 cents here. We
read in the Grecnville and Spar
tanbnrg papors that number of
farmers i'll each Of these places sold
their cotton OH this rise in the price;
that those who sold had not Joined
the association and therefore were
under no pledge. To make sue
cess of this great movement the far
mers should stick together, violate
no pledge, but OH the contrary do
all they can to further the plans of
the association. You are now more
nearly organized and Il unit in feel
ing and desire than ever before and
if you break away now you can
never get together again, which will
mean disaster by placing yourselves
i'll the hands Of the spectators to
stay.-Union Times, March II.
