How Sheridan Paid . p.h.

No one knew better the power pos sessed by really polished compliment than Sheridan. and on innumerable Oc- casions during that rather stormy the atrical management of his did he ex- tricate himself from a difficulty by means of one. A good instance is the following: An English nobleman who had married a beautiful actress once applied with much dignity in the greenroom to Mr. Sheridan for the ar- rears of her salary and vowed that he would not stir till they were paid.
 ''My dear lord" said the impecunious manager. ''this is too bad. You have taken from us the brightest Jewel in the world. and you now quarrel with us for the little dust she has left be- hind her."

MATERIAL THINGS NOT THE
MOST DESIRABLE.

AS a sample of erroneous reasoning
founded on a false assumption, the
following from the Cleburne Chronicle
is good:
1T seems to me that rewards are
sometimes very poorly distributed.
Some men are physically perfect, in
possession of all their faculties, pulses
bounding with the rich warm blood OF
health, and their labor yields them all
the comforts of life as we'll as many
OF its Injuries. On the other hand,
there is the blind man on the corner,
playing upon tuneless organ. the leg
less cripple begging aims of passers-
by, the monstrosity in the side show,
the imbeciles from birth, all suffering
the results of others follies and
others sins We know of dishonest
people who feast upon the fat of the
land, ride in automobiles, dress in
the finest fabrics, while honest people
are toiling laboriously for petty pit
lance. There are hard-hearted usur
ers, shylocks demanding their pound
of flesh, prospecting in all worldly af-
fairs, while kind people, with tender,
sympathetic hearts, are buffeted By
the waves of adversely and SILVER in
the cold, friendleSs streets. There
must be an evening of the reward,
somewhere or else life is a most ul'
satisfactory battle. | hope that when
the world shall have ended for those
who have suffered for the sins o.
others, who have failed to enjoy the
comforts of life because they were
lacking in selfishness and cupidity, in
the world to come tender hands will
minister to them and loving hearts |
provide them with what they have |
missed in this world"
The mistake of all who make such
plants is in ignorantly assuming that
physical comforts constitute the sum-
mum bonum of life. They have no
conception of the meaning OF Jesus
when He said: II have bread to ear
that we know not Of" As a rule, the
poor are happier than the rich; in.
deed no one who has a superabun-
dance of this worlds goods can be
truly happy, because if he has the
capacity to enjoy the highest and most
extatic happiness he will not spend
his excess of means in the purchase
of selfish pleasures while he sees
many of his fellow men destitute OF
ordinary comforts. To one whose I
mind is his kingdom there is little
difference between n palace and {
novel, or even a prison. ;

Senator j. r. Astin has made no
public announcement of his Intentions
but it is generally understood That he
will be a candidate for reelection. 1t
is not probable that he will have op-
position, but if anybody undertakes to
run against him he will be fOoling
away his time. The interests of the
district in general, and of A. & NJ.
College in particular, make it a neces-
sity that Mr. Astin be sent back to
Austin. In order that there may be
no misunderstanding, it is not i'm
proper to state that his candidacy has
never been mentioned in any CONVEX
sation or communication of any kind
between Senator Astin and the editor
of The Eagle. When we meet the
tine is spent quarrelng over things
about which we disagree.
