The wool market is quieter. In
foreign woods there has been
continued good business the past

tic woods from consumers has
ruled comparatively quiet. Much
of the business which has been
done has been between dealers.
but few manufacturers having
appeared in the market, and
those who have come in have,
with one or two exceptions, pur-
chased very conservatively. One
large Massachusetts, mill, how
ever, purchased quite freely of
Australian woods. Prices con-
tinue strong with the exception of
quarter-blood woods, which are
slightly easier in st. Louis than
they were week or ten DAYS ago.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
A Synopsis Of Rev. Percy Jones' Talk
to High School Graduates
Last SUNDAY.

Lust ouuuub'
Rev. Percy w. Jones, of the
Episcopal church, selected by the
19O4-5 graduating class of the
San Angelo High School, to
preach the baccalaureate sermon,
gave them a most interesting talk
at the Cumberland Presbyterian
church Sunday morning.
Mr.. Jones chose no text from
the Bible for his talk but began
by telling the class he simply
wanted to give them a few words
of encouragement and to remind
them that God was with them,
and they should make his presence
n benediction to their lives. He
reminded them that they had
been spending the past eight or
ten years in study and the coming
ten years should bear fruit from
their past efforts. Mr.. Jones
talked first TO the girls of the
CT ass and welcomed them TO the |
young womanhood and life they
were about to enter. He told |
them that he wanted to give them
hope as the intellect and energy !
of young men and women was
more than a match for the worlds |
temptations. Grid up your loins
and help this be nobler and bet
ter world. Let firm purpose &C.
cupy your mind, young ladies,
and learn now that your life will |
be what you yourself make it.
He SAID, that the old idea that
the world would make everything !
nice for them because of their sex,
was out of date. Sex is mere
accident" continued the minis
ter, and women are no better nor
worse than men, by reason Of
sex, A bad woman is as bad as a
bad man and 1t is the same vice
versa. Sex amounts to nothing,
to nothing, in life as to what sue
cess you will make. Be estima-
bic and make yourselves queens
by the worth of your capacities. /
Mr.. Jones next addressed the
young men of the class. He told
them that every man who had
made career for himself or who
had accomplished anything, had
created the animosity of some one.
He asked them TO work with one
hand and fight sin and tempta-
ton with the other, as did the
ancient Jews in building the
walls of Jerusalem, who surround
ed by soldiers, held sword in
one hand and worked with the
other. "If you have this spirit
it will make you fit to be a broth
or OF that Christ who died for the
sins of The world" He remind
ed them that it is this spirit
which made Columbus take his
voyage DER the painless seas. 1t
was the same spirit that flashed
from Washington's sword and
that glowed in the mind of Alex
ander Hamilton when he COM
pounded the grand constitution
of the United States. 1t poured
sparks into the speeches of Daniel
Webster"
Mr.. Jones said to the class that
he hoped that they would all
grow gray in truth and in every
thing good. The world needs
help today, and as God takes us
into his partnership, we should
come out on his side and stay
there. If you do this, when your
life comes to an end, you will be
everlastingly remembered. Thus
Mr.. Jones concluded his eloquent
"heart to heart" talk with the
graduating class, and there are
none who heard the sermon, but
who could profit greatly by it.
During the services an excellent
musical program was rendered by
tho prasbvtariop choir

KNEW DOCS FACE.

The Evangeline published at st.
Martinsville, tells this quarantine
story:
It is related that quarantine
guard was stationed at post armed
with a hickory stick--size: twelve
inches in circumference. A drum
mer put in an appearance. The
exalted guard, brandished his stick
and raising his voice to the concert
pitch, cried: "Halt!"
The drummer looked at the hick-
ory and stood paralized.
The guard "fanned" once more
the air with the stick, and vehem-
emily called the drummer to terms
thus:
"Show your pass or move away
The unfortunate traveller col
lapse1 completely; and when he re-
gained consciousness, he threw np
his hands, and in a feeble voise
murmured: "Don't strike me with
that thing"--and in his his terror,
pulled out a "Patton's coupon"
with the picture of the agent on, in
stead Of his health certificate, and
presented it to the guard, who
couldn't read. The guard took it,
and exclaimed:
"That Doc face, who signed dis,
looks fine.p and he turned over the
document to the stupified drummer
with a sigh and said:
"You are safe to go in de town. =

ORDER AND SYSTEM.

We often wonder how it is that
some men even with mediocre abil-
ity manage to accomplish so much
more than others with such greater
ability.
Inquiry will show that the differ
ence is due to the better applica-
tion Of time and methodical habits.
The methodical man even with
moderate ability, may, for instance,
build up great business, while
man with great ability, without
the habit of system and order, can
never get beyond small business.
No great establishment can possi-
bly, be built up without rigid sys-
tenn and order.
Order and system are great econ
omizers of effort and Of time. The
orderly AMI punctual man never
wastes or fritters away his energies.
Each task has it's own time and
places, and its performance does
not infringe upon that Of any other.
Some people do not seem to have
any order or system in their make
up.
They are always hunting for
something. Instead of putting
things away carefully in their
places they tuck papers and letters
into any pigeon hole or between
the leaves of books, or lay them on
a shelf until they get time to ar
range them properly, which time
never comes.
A habit of slovenliness, Of doing
things by halves, extends to the
whole life, and even sometimes un-
dermines the character.
The best way to break up this
terrible habit it to resolvefem(y
not only to do the thing in hand
just right, but to do it at the mo-
ment.- Catholic Columbian.

THE GUARDIAN OF OUR BODY.

. The foremost biologist of our day,
N. Metschnikoff, has shown the world
of science that there are leucocytes in our
blood that act as scavengers or policemen
These policemen which are called fhago-
Cyfes look out for the noxious or poisonous
elements in our blood. Various offending
elements are picked out of the blood and
tissues by these policemen and destroyed.
Therefore our lives are protected by
these blood cell policemen, the bhagofyfes.
and we enjoy immunity from disease so
long as our blood contains plenty OF phago-
cytes and red blood corpuscles
"A new broom sweeps clean '-and IN
order TO put our own house In order we
must get rid Of all the poisons in the blood
with q new broom such as an Alternative
extract made from roots and herbs--w1th
out the use of alcohol, as Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, specihc Tor
making rich red blood--for eradicating the
poisons from the blood. In some way the
policemen in the blood are increased in
; number and strength--so that we are put
in the best possible shape to resist disease
to cure neuralgia, colds, cataTrh, and In
cipient consumption.
sThe more study and time Is given to the
subject the more we find that the blood Is
the center of life r--says DIR. X. " Pierce,
the noted specialist of Buffalo. "fhe health
and comfort of the average person depends
entirely on this blood supply--for the heart
must have pure blood or it will not pump
and keep the body supplied regularly Ike
the beautiful automatic engine 1t Is. The
nerves must be fed on pure blood-or we
suffer the pain Of neuralgia, which is the
crv of the starved nerves for food. Head
aches. cold in the head, catarrh--and many
other things are due TO stagnation OF the
blodd.r

urday over the seemingly marvel
GUS deeds Of Stanford Berry, the
seven year old son Of s. A. Berry,
a colored man living in this city.
The little negro demonstrates what
appears to be an extraordinarily
sensitive mentality in telepathy
lines. Out of about thirty persons
who put him to test, he was able
to tell the exact date of their birth
aud also their names. There were
no visible means whereby the
father might communicate with his
son so that he could understand
what was wanted of him, and the
father stood several feet away and
put his questions. People are talk

DESULTORY READING HABITS.

The mind is very delicate, com
plicated piece of mechanism, and
altho made to do certain kind of
work marvelously well, yet, when
put to an entirely different use, its
efficiency is ruined, just as the
delicate machinery intended for
producing fine watch parts would
be comletely spoiled for this pur-
pose if used to make clock parts.
When the mind becomes DETECTED,
to a certain extent, from its nor
NAL condition by the vicious read
ing habit, it diverges more and
rarely goes back to the normal.
By desultory habits of reading
and lack of system you confuse the
mind with a large mass Of unclass-
fled material. You pick mp book
and read few pages and then pick
up another one, and then 60 from
that to paper or magazine. This
puts the mind in q chaotic state,
because you let everything run into
the mental reservoir without any
order of definite plans. Systemless
reading is proftless. You can not
gain knowledge of friend or prize
his friendship by hasty first i'm
preston, so in reading book you
can not gain everlasting good
by skimming over its contents, or
by reading few pages one night
and then putting it on a shelf to
gather dust until You get time to
read it again. Everything comes
out of the mind as it went in, and
If it does not enter in an orderly
manner it will come out in chaos.

Linevitch would have been victo-
rious il peace had not been de-

allowed to win one battle in their

us-we all know that we could, il
necessary, do the things we don't

THE PLANTERS MEETING.

The grinding season is rapidly
approaching, with large crop of
cane ready to be manufactured into
sugar. The scarcity of labor is al
ways a serious difficulty; but it is
made almost bewildering to the
planters this year by the abnormal
conditions that now exist. 1t is
necessary every season to import
thousands of laborers from other
localities to take off the crop Of
sugar cane. Home labor is abso-
lutely inadequate for that purpose.
Foreign labor must be had if the
crop is to be successfully harvested
The yellow fever panic-the exist
ence of unreasonable local quaran
tine restrictions have made the Ia
Dor problem at present extremely
hard to solve.
The continuance of the Deten-
ton Camp at Avondale was the
only hope of relief for the planters
of Southwestern louisiana. When
it was announced in the New Or
leans daily papers last week that
the Marine Service intended to
close that camp, the prospects be-
came truly alarming-quick action
became necessary to ward off the
ruin that threatened our rich sugar
district. Mr.. J. Scott Underwood,
the energetic and watchful repre-
sentative of Belleview plantation,
owned by Messrs, Underwood,
Shore aud Reeves, Immediately
sounded the alarm, which resulted
in a meeting of the planters Of st.
Mary, which was held here in
Franklin last Sunday, the full pro-
ceedings of which will be found in
another column.
This meeting was not only at
tended by those Immediately inter-
ested, the planters, but by many
representative citizens of our town
and parish, CONSPICUOUS among
them was our large-hearted and
brilliant Lieutenant Governor, j.
Y. Sanders, who had come to his
home a short while before to con-
suit with aud assist his fellow citi-
zens in their hour Of trouble and
difficulty. He rendered freely, and
used successfully his large influence
in bringing about the result which
will secure the relief sought by the
planters, and which will enable
them to obtain the labor necessary
to save their crops OF cane.
Governor Sanders is always a
welcome visitor among his home
people; and he has proven himself
true friend and safe counsellor
not only in the affairs Of State, but
in all questions, economic, indus
trial and social, that effect the peo
pie of his native parish. ST. Mars
