Miqht Want II Themselves.

When Gov. Folk was in the thick
Of the fight against graft and cor
ruption in office in Missouri. there
was not newspaper in Texas, to
the best Of our recollection. that con-
Gemued his efforts along the lines of
reform. On the contrary the edi-
torial columns of majority Of our
Texas exchanges were fairly brim-
ming over with articles of a lauda-
tory nature, and in many of them
che could detect a longing for bold
warrior who would put the eycrlast-
ing kihosh to the graft element in
this State. For there was grating
so it was claimed-and it should
be stopped. Evidently some Of these
papers did not mean for the public
to take seriously to the matter, if
we are to judge by the sudden OPP
position to the movement. The
question now arises; If there was
no grating in Texas why did they
make the charges? And if the
evil really exists. why do they object
, the movement for its suppression ?
And further, if Gov. Folk was doing
a great service for Missouri in de-
stroying the graft industry, why
should the Dallas News and Judge
Pradley be held up to ridicule when
they are striving to perform a sim
liar service for Texas ;-Ladonia

When the Blues Get Us.

If we allow our minds to dwell al
together upon the dark side Of hu-
man nature We will soon become so
Disguised that we will feel like
quitting the world and climbing a
sapling." This side will become so
cngros.ing that we will decide there
il nothing in life worth while; that
it is one continual play Of decep-
ton: seething mass of corruption
no good. Darkness, sin and death
no ray of hope to ever turn the
tide Of its downward rush. But
should we allow the horribleness Of
evil to paralyze our efforts in the
discharge Of the juties that are up
on US: No. T he very fact that
we are aware Of the evil is indica-
tive that we are under obligations
to use every effort to overcome it.
Christ looked from the mountain top
over the wicked city Of Jerusalem
end wapt, but he never swcryed from
the accomplishment Of His mission
on earth. And in our conquest
against evil we should remember
that ere the beginning of the Chris
tan era an eye for an eye and
tooth for a tooth was the principle
On which the solution Of the prob
lem Of evil was being worked. but
owing to the futility of the project,
He, who stands at the head Of the
era, changed the order of things and
inaugi-ated the system of returning
GOOD for evil. If we would keep
this principle in mind and act upon
il in thought, word and deed, the so.
cial atmosphere would begin to clear
and ere long the promise of 'per
ico' lay would be fulfilled

Amer cans in Favor.

The most favored man. in the
kingdom OF Siam is an American
named Strobel. He is the kings
counsel, and his majesty takes
no important step without con-
sulting Mr.. Strobel. Americans
are in particularly high favor in
that quaint country, anyway, for
the reason that the United States
government returned to China a
large portion of the indemnity
awarded it for damages arising
out of the Boxer trobules. This
is the first time on record that
white race was ever known to
give back anything taken from a
yellow one, and such unwonted
magnanimity has given the Yam
KEGS position that no Europeans
enjoy.

When the Heart Rests.

It has been said that the heart
never rests. But that-as an
anatomist pointed outs a fall
lacy. "The heart" he said, gets
a great deal Of rest during sleep,
for its beats are far less numer-
ous-that is to say, there is a
longer period between each. 1t
has no longer to support all the
activities OF the body, but merely
to keep the life in the frame. AS
for the brain, during sleep it be-
comes pale and shrinks, the heart
no longer having to supply it with
blood to anything like the same
extent as in its waking hours.
Sleep, in fact, means a very COM
plete reduction OF all the vital pro-
cesses. Even the tear glands get
a rest. This is why we rub our
eyes on waking 1t is in order
to stimulate the glands to furnish
moisture for the eyes, which have
become dry as result OF the in
action of the tear fountains"

able escapes from drowning on record
fell to the lot of a Boston dressmake,
in New York harbor last month. The
boat in which she was sailing with
others was capsized by garbage

swung round. and as the woman rose
her head bumped on the bottom. and

was dumped. and caught hold of the
chains used for opening and closing
the trap.
