THE MODERN MAN.

Man that is born of his parents
is of but few days and full of mi
crobes. He goeth to school when
a youugster and gets the seat of
his pants padded for something
he didn't do until he is sick at
heart. He groweth up like a weed
in back yard, and soon reaches
the age when he is composed large
ly of feet, freckles and an appetite
for pie. About the time he gets
too long for short trousers, and
not long enough for long ones, he
goeth away to college. aud learneth
how to monkey with three dollar
mandolin and play poker. He
cometh home a bigger fool than
ever and marrietb sweet young
thing whose pa is supposed
to be wealthy, but whom he sub
sequently ascertained could not
buy the prize rooster at a country
fair. He worrieth along from
year to year. gradually acquiring
offsprings until his house resem-
bles Sunday school class just
before Christmas. He freteth
through the day and lieth awake
nights trying to figure out how to
keep himself and his dependent
population out of the poor house.
His efforts are rewarded by hav-
ing his daughters run away and
get married and bring him home
a nice son-in-law every day to
feast at his board. His sons grow
up and call him governor and set
him back spot every day or two.
About the time he has acquired
enough lucre to make it worth
while for his heirs to quarrel over,
he contracts Il cold and is hurried
away before he has time to have a
talk with his family. His sons
blow in his estate on bad whiskey
and plug hats, and his wife puts
the finishing touches to his career
yb marrying the hired man. -Ex.

Additional Train Service For
Colorado Tourists.

Beginning Oh the 10th inst, F. W. &
d. c. Ry.. ("The Denver ROad'O re-esta-
blished dOuble-daily train service be
tween Fort Worth and Denver under fas-
ter schedules than ever before. These
trains leave Fort Worth at 9:45 A. Nj.
and $40 p. NJ. and arrive at Fort Worth
from Denver at $40 P. NJ. and 7:25 A. NJ,
daily, thus preserving connections with
all other Texas lines in both directions
and affOrding Colorado Tourists all that
could be desired. Each Of these trains
is operated solid between Forth Worth
and Denver, and carry Pullman Palace
Sleepers and also serve all meals in Su-
perb Cafe Cars at City Prices upon the
PAY Only For What You Order" plan.
In connection with the foregoing, this
company has placed in service addition
al trains between Forth Worth and
Quanah, Texas, distance Of 1872 miles,
for the accommodation Of the local travel,
and by reason of same has been enabled
to reduce the time of through trains be-

GRASS MATING.

A press telegram from Washing
ton gives the following informa-
ton:
"Now industries are springing
up so rapidly in the South now
adays that the efforts of the Agri-
cultural Department along lines
which if successful will induce in
the Southern States still another
line of production-that is of grass
mattings, has been almost over
looked. Having in mind the re-
clamation and return to agricultu-
raj productiveDess of many South
ern tracts of land now unproduc-
tive, the Government scientists
have been laboriug for nearly a
year until success, while not yet
achieved, seems fairly certain.
In many parts of the South there
are large areas of lowland, some
of which were at one time planted
to rice before the larger and more
favorably located plantations rem
dered ouch work Improbable, att
of which are at present unproduc-
tive aud overgrown with rushes.
The experts of the Agricultural
Departments in search for some
product which could be pro6tably
grown, have bit upon the rush
not the wild one, but it's cousin,
grown in Japan and China. from
which the worlds finest mattings
are manufactured. The govern
ment experts propose to transplant
the oriental rush and to domesti-
cate it in the Southern States on
land now useless land. Already a
years work has been completed,
and the work while not yet entire
ly successful, has advanced SO far
as to make failure seem a negligi-
BILE quantity. Another years's Ia
Dor, it is believed, should produce
a commercially valuable rush. the
growing of which Oh lands now
waste will enrich the South two
fold, since it will also offer al op-
portunity for the manufacture of
mating, which aside from caring
for home trade should compete in
the markets Of the world.

SIMPLE LIFE TOO SLOW.
Only One Rev. Mr.. MiIburn Knows of
Is In the Penitentiary.

The simple life" is not all that Is
claimed for it, according to the Rev.
Joseph A. Milburn, says a Chicago dis
patch.
II don't believe In the simple life,"
said the pastor Of Plymouth church in
Chicago. II want to live a full, rich
life and get all there Is out of it. The
only simple life I know of Is In the
penitentiary
1.-THE regularity and simplicity make
the life of the inmate. Now, it strikes
me that simple life outside of prison
would grow monotonous and burden
some.
You are teaching men to live right
If you tell them that it is all right to
strive for luxuries. 1 am dreadfully
afraid of the man who Is too good. The
right kind of men are those who are
good fellows, with equal emphasis on
both words"

"ROAST YOUR GERMS"
Chicago Physician Tells why "Bugs"
Should BE Cooked.
Roast your germs.

Roast your germs"
This is the autumn rule of health
which you must observe unless you
wish to have an irritating throat cough
throughout the breezy October and No
vember days, according to DR., Heman
Spalding, chief medical inspector of
the city health department of Chicago,
1t appears, according to DR.. Spald-
ing, that a thorough, long, insistent
roasting Is guaranteed to make the
worst bad man" among the germs a
harmless individual of the mildest ma
ture, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
But an unroasted germ Is worse than
a reckless chauffeur.
The germs to which DR.. Spalding re-
fers are those which have gathered In
the dark recesses of the furnaces dur
ing the summer months, and he de-
clares the heat registers should not be
opened until the germs have been roast
ed to n crisp brown.
Before the registers are opened"
said the doctor the other day, "the heat
should be turned on and allowed to
roast the germs and foreign material
in the pipes. The heat will destroy the
germs and prevent them from entering
the rooms"
If the germs are not roasted they
will mingle in the atmosphere, boasting
their full virility, and will cause throat
coughs Of varying degrees of irrita-
ton. The principal germs are of the
staphylococcus and streptococcus vari-
eties. If they are not roasted they are
as bad as their names
