Pert Paragraphs.

Worry for worry's sake seems to
be the motto of many people.
These are the joyous days when
the coal is in the furnace and the ash
Is in the bin.
Many worthy young men are fired
with the highest ambition TO marry
an heiress to reform her.
No matter how crowded time may
he with events, there is always room
for the nimble rumor.
A millionaire is not necessarily a
hard-hearted creature, but as long
as somebody is bound to be poor he
is equally determined 1t should be a
million other fellows.
There Is nothing that makes the
ordinary man feel better and be
meaner than to give an order and
have it obsequiously obeyed. Nash

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

Two thlsgs are essential TO sue
cessful business: first wise employ
er. and secondly competent and
faithful employees, II is like the pos
tive and energetic poles OF battery.
The one Is NO god without the other.
Employer and omploye must work
together hand and fist. They must
understand each other and be loyal.
We too often attribute loyalty solely
TO the man, but II is expected also
OF the boss, There is no use pulling
in opposite directions. The employer
and his men are like the two oars
of a boat II one Is stronged than
tho other, your boat goes round in
circle and makes no progress. We
see employees who are too keenly SUI
Deryised and, going to the other ex-
IRENE, there are business houses
with an efficient force OF men and
a figurehead in the private office.
ON the whole, should say that
the employer must be untlring in
Identifying his personal interests
with those OF his men, II he expects
them to do their utmost. He must
outline their work. get them started
right, and keep on coaching them
until they turn out clean-cut sue
cess, the same as the captain OF
team coaches his men. The "go-it-or-
get-out" precept is a convenient al
Tentative for employers not virtually
Interested In their men. The Mes
sage to Garcia plan is a beautiful
theory, which won't stand the strain
OF practical business conditions. as
the average employe cannot or will
not, do his level best when left alone
TO himself But he can be made to
do II by an employer willing to match
his skill In guiding, against the en-
ploye's ability to follow and learn.

The recent rains throughout the
state have left many sad, sad pic
lure upon which one might reflect.
Lives have been sacrificed, dwellings
destroyed and washed away, crops
ruined, and worse still, In few in
stances. minds have bee nirretriev-
ably shattered. Telegraphlc reports
told OF the gradual, but certain rise
of the waters, told how people, de-
sorting their homes, sought the high
land, then later how entire families
climbed trees In the hope OF reaching
some bourn OF safety. These reports
also told OF the effect the rush Of
these mud laden waters had upon
the earth covering the roots OF these
large trees. The roots Of the trees
becoming barred, caused the trees to
topple, plunging whole families into
the onrushlng waters. onlookers
from other trees, absolutely helpless,
saw their friends washed from sight
probably never to be recovered, even
Tor burial, In several cases fond
parents, seeing their offspring thus
swept on to sure destruction, and
realizing their helplessness, became
perhaps for all time, raying maniacs.
I'm the midst of life we are In
death" is a trlte saying, and all such
occurrences as above described
should surely teach us to live such
lives, that, when called, we will be
found in condition OF preparedness.

warner that America has ever had,

Don't be afraid to do your duty,
A man who has opinions Of his own
and courage to advocate them, will
be sure to have opposition in this
world, because he runs across or
contrary TO other peoples opinions,
but Just keep straight ahead If your
cause Is right and your conscience
clear. Don't bother yourself about
what people say; life is too short for
that. Some will abuse you through
envy, and others for want OF sense,
Others still for want Of principle and
some because they honestly differ
with you. But If you keep right on

with proper dignity Of character,
honesty OF purpose and self respect
those who honestly differ from you
will respect you and your opinion

the trouble blazed out with the re-
suit as given, Warren was not arm
ed at the time OF the shooting.
Freeze has been living in Amarillo
for several years, He is young
fellow, has made his own way, is
of an open happy-go-lucky nature,
and has made many friends here.
Elgin Warren, victim OF the shoot
ing last night died this afternoon at
the sanitarium shortly before 2
o clock. At the same time District
Attorney Bishop and the defendant,
with his attorneys, Reeder, Graham
& williams, were preparing to go
into examining trial. The charge
which had been entered bcore JUS
tice OF the Peace Holman was as
sault with Intent to kill. When the
news Of the death came, the proceed
ings were stopped long enough to
change to murder, and the examina-
ton is now proceeding with the de-
PENDANT, George Freeze, charged with
that crime. ......
Warren Never Rallied.
From the first IT had been seen by
the surgeons that Warren had only
the slightest chances for recovery.
Dissipation and irregular habits had
weakened his constitution so that he
had little staying power to with
stand the terrible shock OF the
wound. 1t had been planned to OPP
crate on the man at noon today and
to amputate his arm just below, the
shoulder. He never rallied FROM tho
shock enough TO give the surgeons
chance for the operation and h's
gradually grew weaker till he dAed
this afternoon.
His remains were brought at onae
to the Maddrey-Kenyon morg0h
where they are now being held. Hk
relatives have been notified and WIZ
probably take charge OF his remaiusl
