SUPPORT DAUGHTER

Suit will be instituted today
against J. A. Miller, proprietor OF
the Elk wood yard. at ELS Sprague
avenue, to compel him to support
his daughter. Mrs. Cora Ellsworth,
and her two daughters. The county
commissioners intend to make this

the outcome.
Miller was ordered to take care
of his daughter and grandchildren,
Ellsworth having deserted his fam
lily, leaving his wife in ill health.
Miller declared the woman was not
his daughter, but his step-daugh-
ter, and refuses to support her, al
though he is willing to take care of
the children.

HOW TO MAKE A LIVING AT
HOME.

One Of the most practical and
useful papers read at the recent ses-
sion of the Texas Farmers Congress
was that by F J. R. Davenport of
WaXahachie, whose subject was,
How to Make z Living at Home. -
He handled it in a most intelligent
and convincing way; in fact in such
a way as only man of experience
and good, practical sense can.
Mr.. Davenport starts out with
several truisms, such as these:
We must sell more than we buy.
We must curtail expenses and bring
them 10 the minimum. do
have TO buy clothes. but the grub
bill I keep down. Learn TO produce,
then learn TO shelter and preserve

PURE RELIGION,

EX-President Eliot seems to have
stirred up the hornets when lie an
nounced before the Summer School
OF Theology, at Harvard University,
what the religion of the future is to
be. The great trouble is there IS too
little understanding as to what the
religion of the past has been and
what constitutes religion now. In
the first chapter and twenty-seyenth
verse OF the general epistle of James
we find this language: Pure relig-
ion and undefiied before Coo and
the Father is this. To visit the faith
erless and widows in their affliction,
and 10 keep himself unspotted from
the world 1t strikes us that this
is plain, simple language, easily I'M
derstood. You may theorize and dog
Matte all You please, but you can
not improve upon this definition. A
religion based upon intellectually,
with spirituality entirely left out,
We do not believe to be of the kind
which will be honored by st. Peter
when our passports are presented at
the pearly Waxahachie
Light
All viii admit that James spoke
as one having authority. And his
specifications are too plain to admit
of any doubt as TO what he meant
He meant that religion pure and
unGefiled is equivalent to unselfish
service in the interest of others And
il may be added that no religion, old
or new, that does not embody good
works as its central idea is godly.-
