wickedness i'll this world is the lack of
flowers in our back yards. If 1 was
contemplating murder and 1 saw pink
and white hollyhocks rearing their
beautiful flowers to heaven it would
soften my heart toward all mankind
In making garden, you see, | get the
benefit of the earthly smell, the exercise
the anticipation and the flowers later

"Well, go ahead" observed Mrs. Bow

happens"
But what can happen?"
Last year, after the cats got through
with your beds, there was one sun

foot tall, and then one day there came
up a thunderstorm and the lightnin :
struck it. You said it was all my fault
and wouldn't speak to me for the next
twenty-four hours"
Nonsense. You must have dreamed
that. Am 1 fool enough to think you
control the lightning? l was sorry. OF
course, but said nothing to you"
'"Then you won't blame me thi,

What bosh. What am going te

FtWhen my little girl baby was one

thin skin formed over her body and

she was washed it would burst and
break. She was in that condition for
weeks, and | tried everything l could
think of, but nothing did her any good.
When she was three months old I took
her to San Antonio to see doctor, but
the doctor we wanted to see was not
at home, so my sister gave me cake of
Cuticura Soap and half a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment, and told me to use
them, which l did in time l used
them three times, and the humor began
to fade, and in one week she was sound

III this decidedly progressive age
ii Is much better that we try to in
4pire confidence in our tellowman.
Sow the seed of an abiding faith in
the fact, that the average man is
growing better and not worse. Con-
fidenc4 begets confidence, it is con-
| tagious, just as fear and the seeds of
suspicion and fear sOWn in the hearts
of those we come in contact with,
are not long in producing fruit.
Each one has his part TO perform in
making the world better. Let each
of us be faithful to our part of the
work.
If we would but remember that
many, if not most of the hard knots
in this life is caused by pulling the
wrong end of the string, we would
be more careful about which we
pulled, and would save many
moments of worry and disappoint-
ments, and would contribute in
tinitely more to our own pleasure
and happiness, and also those around
US, and would unable us to more
easily make our lives zone grand

Well, the spring cleaning, and
moving household effects around has
gotten US so badly mixed up again,
we cannot find the door, when we
arise from our slumbers without a
light. To sleep in one corner of a
room during winter, and then move
in another and be walked up at night,
and try to find the matches, while
going in the opposite direction from
the mantle, run over chairs, strike
your toe, and stOop to grab it, and
come in contact with chair post, is
not calculated to preserve ones
smoothness of disposition, or cause
him to think sweetly.
Toby is shipping peas early this
year. He has sent off several lots by
the Moonlight Route, consigned to
Brer Rabbit. He says that thing has
got to be stopped, as he gets no re-
surns. So we provided him with
loaded sAells with which to send a
''tracer." What he wants to do is to
get in sight of the gentleman who
nas appropriated his goods, and he
will put him out of business.

Miss Carter and Miss Mcintyre were
out for walk and on their return
started to take short cut along the

They were so engrossed in their con.

approach Of a fast train behind them.
The engineer blew the whistle and the
girls, turning, saw the flyer rushing
toward them. ... =.
Miss Carter jumped from the track
but her companion seemed paralyzed
with fear. She stood screaming, un-
able to move. Miss Carter dragged
her out of harms way, but in so doing
was struck by the sidebeam of the
engine and thrown across two side
tracks into small gully. She was
terribly crushed and died two minutes
later.
