Robert Reed. who shot Norman E.. Smith at Tenakee, is a free man. A iury of twelve of his peers has so de- creed. In the minds of the jurors the killing of Smith was justified by the fear that he had inspired iu the man Reed. They were probably right in so deciding, yet the man who shed the blood of his fellow man will not escape the consequences of his act. Retribu- tion will follow him, for nature Is a merciIess judge. Alt through the long wears that he shall live, the shadow of his one desperate act will follow him. He is an object for deepest pity.
 But Norman E. Smith, the man that is dead. and whose life had so sad an ending: if the young men of our coun- try will take thought of his career, they may indeed profit thereby. A giant, physically, and mentally the equal of most men, it only needed the perfection of the moral to complete a trinity against which difficulties dIs- solve as a mist before the rays of the sun.
 But Smith chose the other path. We do not mean that he was wholly bad; we do not believe in the doctrine of total depravity. There were many good points in Smiths nature. His best friepds-and he had friends-knew best his faults, but perhaps no friend ever warned him that the course that he was treadiug had but one end. Yielding to impulses that are rash, carrying the day by force, in the end bring sorrow and death.
 So we believe we are right in saying; blessed is the man who is not feared by any living creature. Kind acts persuasion and not. force-do not in- dicate cowardice, but a bravery pos sessed only by those who have grasped the true philosophy of life.

About Pa
make a man

When Ma goes up to Pa at night, An strokes his bald head soft an
 slow;
 An puts her pink cheek close to his, An purs around him, then we know
 She's going to ask for money. When Ma gets up from supper and Goes up to Pa, who's sitting there, An plants kiss upon his brow, And starts to straighten out his hair
 She's going to ask for money. When Ma goes up to Pa an picks, A hair or two from off his coat, An asks about his health, and if He still has got sore throat,
 She's going to ask for money. An then if Pa gets mad an says; "This foolisbness is mighty queer; You ain't kid no longer, an wish you'd get away from here."
 We know Ma doesn' get it.

"A faded coat of blue" from it's name and the historic associations that cluster around it, has a place in the hearts of the American people that is sacred. It calls to mind the heroic deeds of those who fought their coun- try's battles when internal strife threatened to dissolve the Union. The day has passed, but still the uniform seems to hold an attraction, though worn by an awkward stripling, though the coat is dirty and the trousers bag woefully at the knees, still the hearts of the girls throb at the sight. We can only guess that the reverence of the generation past has been transmitted to this in distorted shape. No other reason can be given-clothes do not make man.

Not That Time.

On cold, stormy night man was hastening home with his oyercoat buttoned Up to his neck He was rather anxious to know what time 1t was, but he was too lazy to unbutton his coat in or der to get at his watch.
 Just then lie saw we'll dressed man coming in the distance. and he remarked to himself:
 'I'll ask this gentleman the hour of night, and so save my self the trouble of unbuttoning hls coat.
 Sir, do you know what time it is?" lie asked.
 The stranger paused, and re- moved his right glove. unbutton- ed his overcoat from top to bot tom, unbuttoned his uudereeat. and finally pulled out his watch, while the cold wind beat against his unprotected chest.
 Holding up the watch so that the light would shine on 1t he scrutinized 1t all instant, and as he passed on said, T do. ."-E.x.

What will appear very interest estlng to nany people here Is the article taken from d New York daily paper, giving a simple pre- scription, as formulated by a not ed authority, who claims that he has found positive remedy to cure almost any case of baekaehe or kidney or bladder Arrangement, in the following simple preserip- tion, If taken before the stage of Bright's disease:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- halt ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and take in te l. spoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime.
 A well known-druggist here at home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the in- gradients are all harmless, and can be obtained at small cost from any good preerlption phar- macy, or tl1e mixture would be put up If asked to do so. He furth- er stated that while this preserip- ton IS often prescribed in rheu- matic afflietions with splendid re- suits, lie could See no reason why 1t would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and baekache, as 1t h s peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most : important organs and helping them to Sift and filter from tie blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.

At the Country Stations.

Have YOU ever noticed while passing railroad station at a small country place that a large number of the young girls are there for seemingly no purpose on- " to see the trains come in and de- part? Sometimes these girls stand around and gaze with pe- culiar interest at the strangers they see in the cars, while some move apace and fl1rt with the trainmen or some of the male passengers. One instinetive1y wonders what the mothers mean who permit their daughters to go to a public place of this kind where they have no business at all. Frequently 1t looks as If they went to attract some one, for they are dressed in their best dresses and their actions are loud and boisterous. These girls are not wicked by any means; they are simply frivolous and the station seems to be the only spot in=the sleepy little towns where there IS any life or activity, so 1t draws the young people as magnet draws needles. But It IS deplor- able, for those girls are never spoken of III the klndliest man. ner, not even by those who see them there.
 At a little drab colored station out Ill Missouri the passengers can't help from being attracted by a notice, III fact, two of them on front of the station. The hands point to d list of names and ad- dresses written with lead pencil on the drab painted boards. Some one has written below the hands these words; '"These Girls Want Husbands. :" What could be more thoroughly dlsgraeeful than thoes girls names in pub lie place like that, placarded with above term? But do the girls de- serve anything better?
 No mother should permit her daughter to go to the station only when she Is going to some place or accompanies a friend, then the girl should not make herself eon- spicious and should leave as soon as possible. You ask If this IS not true III tie cities? Certainly 1t is, but it k more noticeable and causes more ungentlemanly re- marks when observed in country towns, and there is no denying the fact that nice girls go there for the sole purpose of seeing new faces, something to relieve the eternal stagnation of country life yet every nice little girl should know that 1t is not the place for her, and if sfe does go there and happens to read this article, pos sibly she will think more of her self and good name in the future. You would Tot be one bit more conspicuous or talked more about if you all went down town and sat with the loafers on the town hall or postoffiee steps. Take care of your good name and char acter, for that is all you have and both are fortunes to you Texas Woman.
