Are we here merely to wear clothes
and eat and work and sleep betimes,
merely to be enumerated in the census.
pay our taxes and vote the party tick
ct, to buy and sell, to suffer and to
laugh, to find and fail, to fume and
funk, to live and die?
Is that all?
We go about as If 1t were feat to
make decent living. pay our debts,
give a dollar for charity and keep out
Of the penitentiary. But
Is that all?
True, we must live without stealing.
and we must live somewhat as others
do. We must sweat and dicker and
put money in our purse. We must do
and be done. The grocer and baker
and candlestick maker must have their
due
But that is not all. We are here be
cause others are here. We all came in
obedience to the same law If others
were not here we would not be here
We are all in the same boat. sailing in
| the same direction. Being fellow voy-
ayers, what happens to one affects us
ALL
Now, manifestly the power that put
us here intended we should live and
die together. Destiny has put the
same towline about us all. And, wheth
er we mutiny or whether we go hand
in hand, we go. We must lower our
fellows to the grave, and they in turn
must hold the grave straps for our cof-
fins.
What are we here for? There is but
one answer. Try in vain to find an
other. We are here to help our fell
lows and to be helped by them. We
all belong by right Of birth to one big
mutual insurance society.
To live to yourself and to die to your
self would give no meaning to Iife
No. We are here to help and be
helped Some are crippled in body or
mind or heart. We must give them a
lift. Some are hungered and athirst.
We must minister to Them Some fall
among robbers on the Jericho road.
and we must bind up their wounds and
take them to an inn and pay the land
lords bill.
Some yearn for sympathy. We must
give it. Some weep, and we must
wipe their tears away. Some laugh.
and we must laugh with them. Some
die, and we must bury them.
And here we find the reward and the
solution of our problem. We discover
in our service for others the signif-
canoe of life. Purposes appear The
sequel is limited at. And we no longer
need to ask. us life worth living?"
To learn this simple lesson of service
and to practice it is to say with the
glad philosopher:

fear it even if it comes. | have un-
shaken faith in the power Of America

While you are walking around with

TEXAS INDUSTRIAL CONGRESS
Its Advocacy of Better Cultural Meth
DDS Results in Great Increase in
Yield of Corn and Cotton.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 9.-Reports re-
ceived by the Texas Industrial Con-
gress from eighty-nine counties in the
state amply justify its work during
the present year in advocating the
adoption of better cultural methods.
Notwithstanding an unfavorable sea-
son and the prolonged drouth, the
combined average yield (estimated)
Of corn per acre, raised by contest
ants for the prizes offered by the con-
gress, is 81 bushels, and an estimated
yield of $500 bales of cotton per
acre. 1t is of course impossible even
to approximate the average yield of
the state, but it is not probable that
the corn crop will average over 10
bushels and cotton over 1-3 bale per
acre. The congress will hold its third
annual convention in Dallas within
the next ninety days, as soon as the
winners of the $4,000 in prizes can
be ascertained.

Judge kittrell's Warning.

During the trial of Will Wade,
, charged with murder, Thursday.
Judge Kittrell, who was presiding for
Judge Robinson while the latter pre-
sided over the drawing of jurles for
the next term, said to Officer Dren-
nan, who was a witness in the case;
"Officer brennan, are you armed?"
The witness replied: Eyes, sir"
The Judge said: you must not
come into the courtroom armed. | do
not want to fine you or give you any
trouble, but you must not come into
the court armed. l will say further to
you, Mr.. brennan, that you should
never shoot at fleeing person. 1t
may sometimes be proper in order to
brighten the person fleeing, but you
should never shoot with the intent to
hit You have no more right to shoot
a person fleeing from arrest than you
have to shoot me-"
The judge gave the warning and ad-
vice in a kindly tone and manner, and
he witness received it very respect.

LEARNING SPANISH.

Arguing in favor of teaching Span
ish in the public schools, correspond
ent of the Rockdale Messenger says:
1T is much easier to learn the Ian
guage from one competent to teach
1t than to learn it by contact with
the many" That depends on the pun
pose for which the learner proposes
to use it. If the object is to converse
with people VINO speak the pure Cas-
lillian the teacher method is best, but
for business purposes this is worth
but little more than Latin. The dia-
lect spoken by the Mexicans bears
about the same relations to the Cas-
lillian that plantation negro talk bears
to the English of Milton and Addison
One can not learn it from books or
from teacher. The only way to ac-
quire 1t Is to catch it as it comes from
the tongue of the Aztec. 1t contains
many words not found in any Spanish
dictionary and many of the Spanish
words are so changed in the pronun-
citation as not to be recognizable. 1t
also has many colloquialisms and
slang expressions peculiar to itself
One who knows only the Castilian,
even though 1t be his vernacular, has
great difficulty in understanding the
Mexican patois.
