1t is never a sign that young
man is able to support a family
when he allows a girl to sit on his
knees.
It. is always a pleasant diversion
to see lazy person run to get in
out of the rain.
Two men were found dead in
Des Moines, Iowa, very recently.
Four half filled whiskey bottles were
found near their bodies and no doubt
were guaranteed under the pure
food law. The guarantee was evil
IDENTIFY fulfilled.
Some people chew the end of Bit
terness until their conscience gets
yellow jaundice and then wonder
why people don't admire their moral
complexion.
If Lucky Baldwin" could come
back and witness the scrap going on
over his will he surely would think
there is something in name and
that he was lucky to be dead.
A Pittsburg man not long ago ate
plate of raw oysters and soon after
ward coughed up a dozen pearls.
Other Pittsburg men have been
known to drink several bottles of
champagne and then cough up several
thousand dollars in divorce suit.
A Nebraska man not long ago put
three year old child out in an open
wood shed to sleep with the Their
mometer twenty degrees below zero.
l will bet there is a nice, warm
place, close to the fire, for that fellow
in the hereafter and he won't have
to 60 out and hunt fuel either.
Unhappiness seems to be the joy
of some people, and they never APP
pear to be content unless they can
find some cause for it to appear in
everything.
A California paper tells of lady
who moved away from a town six
years ago and on her recent return
the place had grown and changed so
she became bewildered and lost.
That's nothing; a Minnesota man
went down town very recently and
on his return home an hour later had
changed so that his wife didn't know
him. He had scraped up a passing
acquaintance with an automobile on
street crossing. California isn't
so swift as she thinks.
Some men who are too poor to
give are not too poor to help support
gilded bar-rooms.
The man who spends the most of
his time considering the weather,
seldom has windfall.
A girl who sits and waits for a (
man to propose must feel a great
deal like cat that's watching rat
hole.
After a man reaches the shady
side of forty, love doesn't bother him
half SO much as rheumatism does.
A woman doesn't need to say all
she means; her looks are generally
more expressive than the words of
an orator.
We enjoy the person that knows
how to maintain continuous youth
fulness, but, 0 Lord, deliver us from
him who never gets out of babyhood.

was pardoned. It is the most touch
ing and human poem that the writer
has ever seen, and through the
courtesy of Mr.. HI. p, the readers
of The Mirror may read for them
selves the following touching verses:
The coarser soul but lightly feels
The daily dole of ILL,
But what distress each hour reveals
For him who in his heart conceals
Some aspirations still.
/ cannot fawningly implore,
AS feeble, false hearts can;
But in humility before
The power that bars my prison door,
/ plead as man to man.
Oft folly more than vice appears
In errors we have made,
The ideal that the man reveres
Is not the dream of early years
Youths brief decisions fade.
Though hearts, embittered, still
retain
A grudge for old mistakes.
Excessive penalties are vain.
The long monotony of pain
No restitution makes.
The ancient eye for eye decree
God has himself destroyed,
Still speaks that voice from Calvry
Shall Shylocks with their ghoulish
glee,
Make his commandments void?
Aye, blessed are the merciful,
o Christian heart relent.
For sins of folly, faults of will,
/ kneel at mercy's tribunal
A contrite penitent.
Long have been with sorrow. Long
The agonizing years,
Have held no freight of love and
And laughter only pain and wrong
And penitence and tears.

CRANDM0THERS'
BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Color and Beauty Of the Hair
Preserved with a Harmless
Remedy Made from Sage,

Druggists everywhere comment on the
fact that they are selling large quanti-
ties of sage for making old-fashioned
'sage ten such as was used by our
grandmothers for promoting the growth
Of their hair, making it fluffy and beau
tiful and restoring its natural color.
The demand for this well-known herb
for this purpose has been so great that
one manufacturer has taken advantage
of the fact and has placed on the market
an ideal ''sagc tea" containing sulphur,
a valuable remedy for dandruff and
scalp rashes aud irritations, called
Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under guar
antee that the money will be refunded If
it fails to do exactly as represented.
This preparation is offered to tAH
public at fifty cents bottle, and u
recommended and sold by all druggists.

MIR. Strickland Says PrefiminarieS
Arranged for New Interurbans,
Returning yesterday morning
from a business trip to New York
and Boston, J F. Strickland, presi-
dent of the Texas Traction company
and the Southern Traction company.
announced that the actual work OF
constructing the lines of the latter
company from Dallas to Waco and
Corsicana win begin in ninety days
"0n my return | find the preiimin-
airy work on the Waco and Corsican2
lines progressing very satisfactory
ly," he said "The surveys are prac-
tically completed, and we have Sc
cured the right of way for about all
the distance We wish to complete
all the preliminary details before We
begin actual construction, so that
there may be nothing in the way OF
pushing the work, and so that moth
ing can by any possibility interrupt
it. We expect to begin construction
in about ninety days. We will be
ready sooner than that, but we do
not wish to begin while the rush of
the cotton season is on. We will be
gin about the first of November.
The line out of Dallas will run to
Ferris There it will bieurcato one
line going to Waco and the other TO
Corsicana, so that there will be dou
BILE service over the line between
Dallas and Ferris. One of the lines
will parallel the Houston and Texas
Central from Dallas to Corsicand,
and the other will practically paral-
lei the Missouri. Kansas and Texas
from Waxahachie to Waco.
Il believe these lines will be
worth more to Dallas than any other
the city could secure at
this time We will have a car com
ing in and ear going out every thfr-
y minutes. This will turn loose
