You never spoke truer word, Mrs.
Hankey," replied Mrs. Bateson. THE

the difference between their souls and
their stomachs, and they fancy they

tinued Mrs. Bateson. "a kinder hus-

of pork he begins to worry hisself
about the salvation of his soul till

Every Price Should Have a Reason.

1t must be remembered always that
it is not the price of an article which
is important. but the reason for the
price
The bankrupt stock. the fire sale. the
manufacturers remnants, the annual
clearance. the removal sale, the disso-
luton Of partnership sale-what are
these and many more but arguments
for the price? And note this one point
that without the argument the price
is powerless. Reduce fur lined over
coats from 500 10 $50 and your liberal
discount attracts little attention. Why?
Because there is no reasonable expla-
nation for the reduction. Why should
you present oyercoats to the public?
But announce that owing to an ex-
piration Of your lease and the impera-
tive command that you vacate your
present store within two weeks You
will reduce the price of your fur lined
Dvercoats from 500 to SEQ and you
may sell easily all you have to offer.
Instinctively the public sees the whole
picture--tbe proprietor's anxiety, the
inevitable removal. the lessening Gays,
the final sacrifice and the store full Of
eager buyers, quick TO seize such an
opportunity. This is only half the
reduction previously considered But
one Is business without imagina tion.
and the other is business with 1T

ONDERDONK-RAMSAY MEETING,
Well known Evangelist and Singer
VIII Begin Work Sunday.

Communications from Bro. Onder-
donk and Prof. Ramsay of a very re-
cent date state that they will be here
next Saturday without fail to begin
our meeting Sunday. They are both
in the state now. Brother Onderdonk
is one of the strongest and best men
of our church. He has been one of
the most active and aggressive work
ers in the foreign field for nearly
fifteen years. Much of this time has
been spent in evangelistic work
among the English speaking class as
well as the native MeXicans. He is
man of great spiritual power, and
God has used him in our work in
Mexico as no other man we have
ever had there, He was raised in
Southwest Texas and learned to
speak both the English and Mexican
language in his childhood and is a
very fluent speaker in either Ian
guage. He is just in the prime of life
and all who have ever heard him feel
that we have been very fortunate in
securing his services for our meet
ing. He is a great preacher and a
great character.
Prof. Ramsay, who has been as
ISOLATED with George Stuart for a
number of years as his singer, is too
well known to need a word of intro
duction to this people as he spent
couple of weeks here a little more
than year ago training our choir
He has been in this work for twelve
or fifteen years and is one of the best
to be had anywhere. These two men
make as strong cam in many res
poets as could be found anywhere,
and with our hearty support we may
reasonably expect great things of
our meeting. Are we going to give it
to them? The length of the meet
ing is limited to two weeks and if
we are to accomplish in this short
time what should be done, we must
see to it that the work begins well
from the first service; to this end |
urge every member of the Method
list church to begin now to make
your arrangements to give this
meeting the best support you posi-
bly, can by attending every service
and working in every way possible
for it's greatest good. Also ] extend
to the pastors OF the other churches

MOTHERS RIGHTS.

There lis no one in the average
family. says O. s Marden. writing
in Success Magazine the value of
whose service begins to compare
with those Of the mother, and yet
there is no one who is more general
ly neglected or taken advantage Of.
She must always remain at home
evenings and look after the children,
when the others are out having a
good time. Her cares never cease.
She is responsible for the house
work for the preparation of meals;
she has the childreu's clothes to
make or mend; there is company to
be entertained. darning to be done,
and scores of little duties which must
often be attended to at odd mo-
ments snatched from her busy days.
and she is often up working long at
ter every one else in the house is
asleep.
No matter how loving or thought
full the father may be, the heaNlef
burdens. the great anxieties, the
weightier responsibilities Of the
home, of the children, always fall
on the mother Indeed the very vir-
tues of the good mother are constant
temptations TO the other members of
the family. especially the selfish
ones, to take advantage of her. If
she were not so kind, so affectionate
and tender. SO considerate, so gener-
Gus and ever ready to make all sorts
of sacrifices for others; if she were
not so willing to efface herself; if
she were more self-assertive; if she
stood up for and demanded her
rights, she would have a much easier
time

DYeinq Real Flowers.

every once in awhile some florist
gets busy and puts some odd colored
blossoms in his window as an extra
attraction to the display" said a club
man. Il just noticed one down the
street 1t consisted of bunch of i'm
possibly green carnations. At first
glance a good many people thought
they were made of paper, but they got
interested when they found out that
they were natural Now anybody
who wants to have any of these freak
flowers can get them by buying some
kind Of aniine ink. any color desired.
Carnations are the easiest to color
white ones, of course. Put their stems
in glass filed with ink. Their stems
are soft, and in short while the
larger veins In their petals are filed
with the ink Don't let them absorb
too much color. They are prettler
with just so much. Then remove
them and put them in n vase of salt
water. Lilies of the valley lend them
selves to this scheme also. In fact,
any white, soft stemmed flower may
be used."-Philadelphia Record.

EXPENSIVE BAD ROADS.

There is always occasion for say
ing something in favor of good
roads The necessity is apparent in
every direction, says the Greenville
Banner. The people do not question
the need of first class highways.
They do not, however, always act
like they believed in good roads at
all The great thing to accomplish in
good roads discussions is to arouse
the public to action, get them in the
notion of doing something TO i'm
prove the roads and thus save to the
communities much worry and cost.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram is al
ways on the firing line when first
rate highways are under discussion.
1T says;
"A wholesome majority has been
given the issuance of good roads
bonds in recent elections at various
points in the state. Headlong eXtrav-
agance in any matter of business,
public or private, should, of course,
be avoided, but there is hardly a
county or road district that can not
meet the tax payments for a reason
able issue of improvement bonds
without any grievious burden to any
class of individual No public roads
are so expensive as bad roads,
The farmer man who pays out
perhaps $25, possibly even $50 a
year losses and repairs on vehicles
broken down on bad roads will GER
tainly get off cheaper in the long
run with a reasonable tax on his
property if the situation can there
by be relieved; and it can be rene
died wherever the antidote is APP
piled with intelligent persistence in
scientific road building.
Meantime the thirty-first legisla-
.ture has done highly commendable
service in perfecting pad law to
give the people II Illegal basis
on which to opera Rhe formation
of road districts the creation of
funds to work on. The good roads
movement is at least one factor of
progress that all parties and near
parties can agree on. Securing the
sinews of war and pushing the cam
paign is now the important and ur-
gent feature of the question, Let
Texas grow"
