Faust Is Coming.

1t will be welcome news to many
theatregoers in the city the an
nouncement that the famous play o
Goethe's immortal Faust will b
presented here on February A a.
the opera house by the Porter j.
White Co. No play written in many
years has retained such a hold on
the hearts of the public. 1t has prov
ed to be far better than the book.
for while the play has steadily held
it's popularity, the book is now al
most forgotten. 1t was revived in
New York city last spring and &C
tually drew larger audiences than it
did at the presentation Of the origin
al production years and years ago

says, If they break my statutes and
keep not my commandments: Then
Will | visit their transgression with
the rod, and their iniquity with
stripes. My heart trembles for the
man or woman who claims to have
been redeemed by God and yet has
not consecrated their lives to Him.
They will have to go through the
dark valley of punishment and like
Cain will cry out My punishment is
greater than / can bear
Then we should consecrate our
lives to God because of the good we
may do for others. This would be
sufficient reason if there were no
others. Out here across the street
house is on fire and in the upper
story child cries out for help. A
pitiful sight! How anxious we would
be to save that child! Yet there is
sadder sight than this. There are
men and women In Waxahachie who
are lost and in the great eternity
God will hold us responsible Christ
says Lift up your eyes unto the
fields, for they are white unto the
harvest
These two reasons for consecra-
ton are good but these are not the
highest pleas. Paul says beeseech
you by the mercies of God that ye
present your bodies etc Because
God has been merciful to you and
saved you and his mercy has been
round about you. This is the highest
plea. God has forgiven u.s. He has
saved us with an everlasting saliva
ton. He says nevertheless my low
ing kindness will l not utterly take
from him, nor suffer my faithfulness
to fall Think of the tender COM
munion between the christian and
God. He is better friend than a
brother. His love is greater than
mothers love. He has a pity for us
equal to the pity OF father Since
then God has forgiven us and saved
US with an everlasting salvation;
since he is greater friend than a
brother, loves us with a love greater
than mothers love and has a pity
for us equal to the pity of father
who would dare not consecrate their
lives unto Him."
After this strong plea was made
to the unsaved. Everyone In town
are cordially invited to attend the
services. After today Mr.. Robert Jol-
ly will be here to assist in the song
service.

Hash.

Some people find fault when eating
hash because they don't know what is
in it. Such souls are simply trying to
dodge happiness. Would anybody ever
start upon a journey If they knew the
cars were going to leave the track, or
that the bridge was SURE to collapse?
No, indeed. Would lovers of hash ever
order that most toothsome Wand were
1t not for the delightful uncertainty
attached to 1.-THE compelling mystery
in which it Is wrapped?
Why be wise when perfect happi-
ness lies in ignorance? Hash has stood
the test of time, and, whatever 1t is
made Of, history has vet to place a
calamity at its door. Wine has caused
the head to, rise above the church
steeples; pie has ruined the digestive
apparatus and hot biscuits have
brought the price nightmares downto
surprisingly low figure; but hash,
plain. regular, >inoffensive hash. has
gone on down the ages and left moth
ing in its wake but fond memory
and sweet taste IN the mouth, Why
worry?

Snakes a Profit to Him.

Hunting rattlesnakes for a living IS
the pleasant occupation of H. T. Brown
of Newton, Wis. For Is years he has
been chasing those button-bearers and
he says his earnings average $100 a
week If farmer wants to rid his
ground of rattlers, he sends for Brown,
and hires him at $50 a week Brown
has additional income by selling the
skins of all the rattlers he kills. Be
sides, he gets three dollars an ounce
for the snake oil and the state pays
him SO cents >for every head. A stout
hickory club is Browns only weapon
when hunting. He never attacks a
snake from the front, but follows it
from the side. When the snake turns,
he strikes quickly and accurately IN.

AS man grows older his legs grow

fact that as a man grows older his
legs grow shorter Ask any tailor in

A veteran tailor-a man who has
measured mems legs for years and
years-was hunted up.
ITS fact" he said. Il don't know
just how to account for 1t, but it is a
physical fact that mans legs grow
shorter every year he lives, if he is an
average man. Myself, for instance
am not old not 40 even, but l know
my inside seam measurement is three
quarters of an inch shorter than it
used to be. I'm not over-corpulent,
either. think growing corpulency &C
counts for it. AS a man develops a
bay window, fat develops ON the upper
part of his legs, and our measure
ment from the fork of the trousers
down has to be reduced accordingly, !
the growing fat absorbing considerable |
of the actual length. And just as the
leg length is reduced, the length over
the abdomen and hips is increased, be- [
