Three years ago, after completing a
census Of Dallas, the OBSERVER said :
"lhe count shows that the town is
making steady and healthy growth.
The day is not far distant when it will
have population Of 1000 people,"
The predicted growth has been
realized, and further predictions are
in order. With the splendid start
already made, we venture the opinion
that the Government census Of 1910
will give Dallas a population of 5000.

HOW THE TRANSPORTATION OF

A STORY WITH A MORAL
One Public Spirited Citizen Who
Realized the Big Possibilities and
Cultivated the Field to Ad-
vantage.

Once upon time there was a Man,
who in his youth was reared upon a
farm located near a Small Town of
Great Promise. Two weeks in each
year when he was not saving wood,
feeding the stock or picking potatoes,
he was allowed to attend the little red
schoolhouse in the town. By hard la
Dor during the day, and persistently
reading few old books which were
heirlooms in his family, and each week
absorbing the intelligence contained
in the Weekly Mirror, he, by the time
he could mark down his age at IS
years. had accumulated sufficient
knowledge to run away from home.
He wandered to large city and there
his great muscular power assisted to
gain for himself a position as Chief
Scrubber in large store. He had not
acquired tie cigarette habit, and his
faithfulness to his scrubbing brush,
and his unwillingness to know all
about his employers business, soon at
tracted the attention of the Old Man,
and at the end of year he was pro
noted to Head Rustler in the shipping
department at the large salary of eight
dollars a week.
His disregard for scooting when the
closing time came, and his total lack
of swelled head so pleased the Old
Man that from time to time the ambi-
tious youth was advanced until at the
end of six years he was drawing the
biggest salary paid by the house, and

CAPTAIN KNEW HIS BUSINESS.
Story of the. Bark That Broke Record
Around the Horn.

"a story of heroism of the sea, rival
ing that of Gilliat in The Toilers of
the Sea- has just been enacted in the
Pacific ocean," said John p. Barnes,
San Francisco merchant to a Wash
ington Post writer 1T is the story of
an intrepid sea captain who resur-
rected a sunken ship that had been
given up for lost and put her in such
good condition that she has broken all
records for sailing craft around the
horn.
THE sea captain lived at San Diego
until year or two ago, having retired
on a modest income. His name is
Thayer. One day he read in the pa
pers of an auction sale of the hulk of
ship in the South seas. He went to
San Francisco, where he found that
the ship had been valued at $250,00O
and had been grounded in storm, de-
serted by the crew and supposedly
pounded into shapeless mass upon
the rocks. But he thought he would
take chance, and so bid her in for

take a half interest.
Getting together a wrecking crew.
he travelled 1000 miles to the island
of Manga Riva, where, through heroic
efforts and after many months, he got
the ship to the level and towed her
back across smooth summer seas to
San Francisco There the vessel was
rebuilt into a three-masted bark. Cap
tain Thayer came on to Washington
and got the government to register
the British ship Pyrenees, for that
was its original name, as the bark
Manga Riva. Then, after the refitting
had been completed, he sent her to
Swansea, Wales. The bark made the
fastest time ever attained by any sail
ing vessel between the Pacific and
Atlantic oceans. Captain Thayer is
now enjoying the income from his
daring, and his name is being paraded
up and down the Pacific coast among
marine folk as the modern Gilliat."

One month after the opening of the
store the graveyard quietness of the

What a Frown Can Do.

A single bitter word may disquiet
an entire family for whole day. One
surly glance casts gloom over the
household, while a smile, like CLEAN
of sunshine, may light up the darkest
and weariest hours.
Like unexpected flowers which
spring up along the path, full of
freshness and fragrance and beauty,
do kind words and gentle acts and
sweet dispositions make glad the
home where peace and blessing dwen.
No matter how humble the abode,
if it be sweetened with kindness and
smiles, the heart will turn lovingly
toward it from all the tumult of the
world, and it will be the dearest spot
beneath the sun, says an exchange.
And the influences of home perpetu-
ate themselves. The gentle grace of
the mother lives in the daughter, and
the fatherly kindness finds echo in the
nobility and courtesy of sons; while,
on the other hand, from an unhappy,
misgoverned, and disordered home go
forth persons who will make other
homes miserable, and perpetuate the
sourness and sadness, the contentious
and strifes and ratings which have
made their own lives so wretched and
distorted.
Toward the cheerful home the chill
dren gather as clouds and as doves
to their windows, while from the
home which is the abode of discomfort
and strife and trouble they fly forth.
