THAT OLD, OLD PATHWAY.
We cry,
We talk,
We laugh,
We walk;
Our mothers pride and joy.
We fight,
We swear,
And pants
We wear;
Our fathers little boy.
We dance,
We smoke,
Hold hands,
And joke;
A girl, and then a row.

We drink,
We eat,
Play cards, rs
And treat;
The fellows claim us now.
We love, 80
We're led,
We woo,

At leisure we repent.
We work,
We sigh,
And soon
We die;
So many life is spent.

Texas Fire Losses.

Dallas, Jan. 16.-Statistics in the
local office of the Texas Fire Proven
ton association show that during the
year 1903 the total fire loss for Texas
alone was $7.253,S5O, an increase of
more than 100000 over the loss for
the year 81. The total loss for 1906
was $5,S94,98O for 1907, $6,952,9O0,
or over 100000 more than that for
the year 1906.
The same statistics show that there
is a growing tendency on the part of
builders to erect buildings with view
of economizing. both with regard to
material and work, and it is this ten.

Texas fire loss is attributed

rained those who were able to go out
could spend the afternoon at her home.
Soon she had dozen children at 81
a month. She took these out walking,
told them nature stories, taught thea
new games and in every way made the
afternoon pass pleasantly.
The mothers are now enthusiastic
about her, and, as for Miss Nicegi.'l
herself, the fresh air and exercise are
bringing the roses back to her checks
She is branching out into other lines

A bright woman who took up this

Prominent Citizen Of Dallas Stricken
With Apopiexy and Soon Expires.
Dallas. Jan. 16.-While conversing
with couple of friends at his office,
Colonel W. ]. Betterton was stricken
with apoplexy Friday morning. An
ambulance was summoned and the
colonel placed therein to be conveyed
to his residence. Just at the gate was
reached the aged man gasped for the
last time.
Colonel Betterton, who was a citi-
zen of Dallas thirty years and promi
nently identified with her business en-
terprises, notably in the lumber line,
was about seventy-eight years of age.
He was a native of Virginia and gal
liant Confederate soldier, attaining the
rank of colonel by distinguished bat
tlefield service. He was talking of the
four years strife with his two friends,
who also wore the gray, and was
laughing over an anecdota one of the
two had just related when the fatal

girls ,pn3e ere in The circle is the one
altogether lovely. The confession does
net come from the father CT mother
but observing visiting friends to the
household realize the fact before many
calls have been made.
1t is a common impression that the
only child, whether boy or gir.. soon'
becomes aware of his or her impor~-
tauce at home. To adapt Il common
expression. the only child is always
spoiled. and it is not always the only's
fault,
TO return TO the first statement.
toes the fayorite boy in Il household
of boys make better husband than
his brothers. and does the fayorite
girl make the sort Of wife that has
been predicted before she quits homes
To put it another way, does she make
better wife than the favorte brother
makes a better husband?
In home of boys the favorte Is
mothers boy. The other brothers are
not envious Of his classification. I'm
less the favorite is an exception to the
rule he has, in the estimation Of his
brothers, an cffeminate composition
The opinion may not always be just.
but the favOrite carries the handicap
all his life, or at least rs long as he Is
under the paternal roof and under the
maternal influence Generally the IA
vorite brother is the first to have q
sweetheart The other brothers charge,
this up to the mother If the sweet
heart has been picked by the mother,
all the greater favorite he with his
mother One Of the Inconsistencies OF
the situation is that this fayorite is
not always the youngest boy of the
family If the last born reflects any
of his fathers traits you may be sure
that he is not the favorite.
When comes the time for the favor
recipient of every attention which the
family can bestow. This is not strange,
for the first marriage in a family Is
the event of events. especially where
the affair meets with family approba-
ton. When the wedding Is over, when
the rainbow season has passed and the
twain enter upon that period where
better and worse meet On the common
level, when the friends of the family
watch and wait to ascertain whether
the match was well mated. the test
comes apace.
There seems to be an unwritten law
which warrants Il newly married cou-
pie to eliminate their former friends
