Car Full.

There are buns and buns, but
the biggest mixed batch ever strik-
ing this burg arrived in charge OF
Conductor Pete Miller.
Pete shutters little some times
and at other times, oh well, what
he said and what he didn't say Sat
urday morning when he found three
men and five women in car, was
a plenty. 1t was an emigrant car
and one man had a right to be in it
but when Pete found the fellow had
his family and familys relations
along he thought it more than a
good natured railroad man ought to
stand for so made them hike.
The bunch did not like tie tickets
so were cumming their way to
Mendoza, Ill.
1t required considerable hustling
to learn anything about any OF
them, but we got the names
William Crum, wife and daughters
Misses Rosa, Goldie and Julia, and
then at the ticket window, by
watching, found their destination tC
be Mendoza.
For sure when they get there
they ought to find never failing
spring and bar of Grandma's or
pint of soft soap.

No Apology Due Him.

The other day two well dressed
lovers, evidently a newly" married
couple, boarded a Mineral Wells
train at Weatherford and amused
the other passengers with their COO
ing. After awhile the fair young
bride leaned back in her chair and
fell asleep. Her companion took
advantage in her lull of affectionate
demonstration and went into the
smoker to enjoy a cigar. While he
was gone long, lean, lank, grizzly
specimen of humanity came in and
sat down in the vacant chair beside
the sleeping beauty Presently the
young woman, half asleep, turned
and laid her head lovingly on the
shoulder of the stranger, her plump
arm around his neck. The green,
gawky stranger was surprised at
this unexpected familiarity, but
made no desperate effort to escape.
He merely looked around at the
convulsed passengers and grinned.
Then the hilarity awoke the wOm-
an; she opened her blue eyes and
saw her mistake. With flushed
cheeks she stammered an apology.
you needn't 'pologize to me-"
drawled the stranger; Il didn't
keer."- Mineral. Wells (Text) Index.

The Burden of the Day.

Who shall rise and cast away,
First the Burden of the Day?
Who assert his place and teach
Lighter labor, nobler speech.
Standing firm, erect, and strong,
Proud as Freedom, free as Song2
Lo! we groan beneath the weight
Our own weaknesses create:
Crook the knee and shut the lip,
All for tanner fellowship;
Load our slack, compliant clay
With the burden of the Day.
Higher paths there are TO tread;
Fresher fields around us spread;
Other flames Of sun and star
Flash at hand and lure afar;
Larger manhood might we share,
Surer fortune did we dare!
In our mills of common thought
By the pattern all is wrought;
In our school of life. the man
Drills to suit the public plan,
And through labor, love and play
Shifts the Burden of the Day.
All! the gods of wood and stone
Can a single saint dethrone,
But the people who shall aid
'GainSt the puppets they have made
First they teach and they obey;
'Tis the Burden of the Day.
Thunder shall we never hear
In this ordered atmosphere
Never this mOnotony feel
Shattered by trumpet's peal?
Never sire that burst and blow
From eternal SUBMITS, know?
Though no man resent his wrong
Still is free the poets SOngl
Still, a stag, his thought may leap
Ger the herded swine and sheep,
And the pastures far away
Lose the Burden of the Day!
