The cause for all these smiles and
happiness in the firefighters's camp
comes from the simple reason that all
of the fame battlers from the chief

their pay checks yesterday checks
that have been over due, almost two
months, and which come as a relief
and ray of sunshine to the firemen
who have waited patiently for the

with patience and fortitude.

the month of January and the firemen

cLINGING TO HER DREAM.

The Star-Telegram of September 29
| contained a story about woman who
has been coming to the Fort Worth
postoffice twice a day for ten years
looking for letter in which she eX.
pected to receive notice of fortune.
While few of us expect fortunes from
afar through the mails, many of us
go on through life expecting that
each day will bring us some unexpect-
ed favor. There is song of hope in
the heart that carries us to the end,
to patiently perform our duties. AS
long as the poor woman does not
lose hope, she will enjoy the pleas
ure Of anticipation, her fancy still
clinging to the dream of cleaning
gold. But when her daily visits
cease, then hope will have left her
aching heart, and the light of life will
soon depart. l am glad that she can
cling to her dream, that she can fall
asleep each night having faith in the
morrow bringing her message of
much money; that poverty may vanish
in the twinkling of an eye like the
mists of early morning fade away
under the golden CLEANS of the wax
ing sun. 1 trust that she will never
lose this hope, but when the last
sleep comes the long cherished dream
may still be nesting in her feeble
heart until its last throb is felt and
the last conscious moment is reflected
in the dimming eyes. God did a gra-
cious thing when he planted hope in
the human breast.-J. R. Ransone in
Cleburne Enterprise.
