Chinese lanterns sway from rlD-
bous OF smilaX and the pIrior Is 1u!i
Of company. An affected young per-
son seats herself at the piano and be-
gins to play The Voice That Breath
ed" A Pale Male totters forward
with lady on his arm. She wears
a long veil, long gloves and long
train, and she Is on the erm OF her
long suit.
And as they slowly advance, i'm
placable at Fate, unto the Pile Male
doom, let us shut our eyes and think
a thought or two.
Three months ago and these two
we're strangers. If you had taken

look OF JOY or expectation. Mean
while John Jones was living his llfe'

She has such way with her:
He presses the picture to MS

rushes out to his doom.
"Ah," means another young man
",rhe way she flutars her eJellds Ehen
fellow kisses her!
He, too. dresses with care, and me-

"fIa!" cries third young man
The way she puts her arms UP and
fyes her back hair.
He dresses with care and hs
rushes out to his DOOM
"Mmmmmmm!" exclaims a fourth,
The way she closes h"r eyes and
opens her mouth very time she

And he rushes out to his doom.
The next morning each or these
young gentlemen buys a diamond

Mr.. Clarendon Citizen, have
you missed a meal on account of
helping build a greater College
Have you missed a meal because
three bridges have been put in
Have you gone hungry because
of the fact that Clarendon has in
way protected herself against
fire: Have your children cried
for bread while you purchased
shade trees to make this the city
beautiful :" Ask yourself these
questions, and then 90 to study
ing as to how much you can help
the town without material injury
to yourself or those dependent
upon you. Clarendon Banner
StOckman.
1t is not at all likely that any
of your citizens will answer in
the Affirmative. The fear of want,
of actual starvation, is not an un
wholesome one. 1t teaches thrift
and providence and makes for
diligence and economy. HOwev-
er, it can be and often is carried
much too far. Men with pres
ent abundance constantly fear
the future and grow small-soul-
ed, stingy and picayunish
through fear of a rainy day"

additional young ones is invited
to make his home in Texas and
become a cotton picking contrac-
tor.-Dallas News.
We don't invite the gentleman
to Randall county to help pick
cotton. Picking cotton is too
hard work for the net results.
We never saw a person that fol
lowed that job for a living accu-

him here for a healthy climate,
fine fruit and an easily cultivated
soil. Reports say he has gone to
Iowa. If that 5 so he will land

more so to find that it had lain
there for quite while unmolest
ed, but beginning to look much
the worse from exposure. The
money was in the way of nipple

placed by new ones before many
years unless cared for better.

ARE YOU A KNOCKER?

1t may be alright to be a kick.
er but to be an everlasting knock
er is the worst form of business
insanity. The difference be
tween the two species is clear.
a kicker is a man who wants
things to move along in the right
direction and at a good lively
gate; a knocker is the man who
tries to discourage the fellow
who is doing something; one is
an optimist, the other a pessi-
mist; one sees the doughnut, the
other only the hole. As a CON
crete example of the difference
between the two homOs, this rail
road proposition fully demon
strates it. The kicker is the
man who got out and helped
raise the bonus and kicked be-
cause everybody did not sub
scribe the knocker is the gen
tleman who said the people were
fools for subscribing and the
whole thing was a land scheme.
The kicker got busy and helped
secure the right of way; the
knocker is the man who stood in
the way and knocked every prop
