GIVE DRIVEWAY ON LAMAR
OUT OF JACKSON STREET
Public Need Not Be Wholly IncOnyen-
fenced.

Pending the paving of Jackson street
between Lamar and Forsyth, which
work will not be entered upon fol
probably two or three weeks. why not
facilitate traffic by allowing vehicle
to pass from Lamar onto Jackson
street, around the corner at Murray &
Hooks store? This, it would seem
could be done without any detriment
whatever to the paving company, and
would afford unreasonable relief to
congested traffic at that point, which
already has been blocked up for two
weeks. Planks could be- run down and
narrow road thus opened from La
mar into Jackson street at the point
designated, and the public afforded
great relief thereby.

TWO RATHER BRIGHT DOGS
One Recognized the letter Was Over

Two suburbanites, one living near
Morton and the other near Primes,

He refused 10 pick 1t UP, but wagged

his story.

THE OLD HORSE.


The old, old horse fell slowly in the
street
No plunging drop, no sudden slip and
fall.
No wild attempt to stop it's sliding
feet,
But just a patient sinking, that was
all.
An old, old horse-a bony, toil-worn
beast
That had no soul, that had no hope
full dreams.
That knew not when the light of life
had ceased
To lure it on with ever-fickle CLEANS.
A common brute-yet one day it had
played.
Across the pasture lands with grace
full stride,
Or some proud masters word 1t had
obeyed
While nervous ripples shook its
glossy hide.
Too fine head it had for us to think
That it had always plodded alley
ways
And fed on curses with its food and
drink,
And never heard word Of cheer or
praise
And even brutal blows and starving
years
Had failed to break the curving OF
its neck
Or rob the thoroughbred poise Of its
r
Life had not yet made of it all a
wreck.
But how it fell all slowly in the street
And never once attempted more to
rise;
It's heart gave up in one last broken
beat.
Deaths mercy drew the ven upon it's
eyes.
Dead in the harness--and the needless
crowd
Went on; the city's noise discordant
rose;
But never more should it hear curses
loud
Or finch beneath repeated cutting
blows.
Twas nothing much--a horse died;
that was all;
A worn-out horse, worked down to
bone and skin
Yet sometimes men as well, worn-out
will fall
With no more living spirit left
within.
They, too, fall in the harness; and we
Unheeding through the hurried.
crowded ways;
IT'S but one less in all the toiling mass
That keeps the world awhirl
throughout our days.
And pity is so brief--and comes SO
late!
There is so much that lures us on
ahead
We have no time to sense the others
Dead in the harness; just another
dead Wilbur d. Nesbit.

front Of the store in, totally wrecked
the machine and scattered brass and
iron for blocks along the street. The
report sounded like the explosion of
a mammoth cannon cracker. The con-
cussion was terrific and attracted a
large crowd of people.
Young Arnold Longavan was sitting
on chair close to the Misunderstanding

ing the machine blew UP. The Chair
the lad was sitting upon was a strong

WE'RE NOT DOING OUR BEST
It We Were, We Would Not Have to
Die In Order to Reach
Heaven.

How mankind defers from day 10
day the best 1t can do and the most
beautiful things it can enjoy, said H.
W. Mabie most truthfully. II does
seem that many good people are put
ting of real enjoyment until they get
10 Heaven, never thinking that that is
a very slow and risky way of getting
there. Some people think that getting
into Heaven Is going to make great
change, when the fact is the ascent
will be so gradual as to make little
difference. The Bible is full Of this
idea.
The doctrine that an old crusty, sell
fish, deceitfuI. neighbor-hating man
will turn into an angel at the pearly
gates is not scriptural. and It does not
stand to reason. No. sir; man gets
to Heaven because he belongs there;
because he has made the best of life,
has done the kindest things. helped
the weak. filed his days with cheer,
good will and good works. and decked
his life with the beatitudes Of his Mas
ter.
We are not doing 1t so well az We
might, as Mr.. Mabie suggests No
one does his best. No one enjoys the
most beautiful things. n we did, we
would not have to die to get to heav-
en-. We would then be doing our part
In answering the prayer. Thy king
dom come on earth as 1t Is In heaven

these insects in Egypt. The common
house fly has followed mankind since
the dawn Of history. He lives only
where man has made his home" writes
Edward Hatch, jr., in The Survey
Though the sacred writers had some
appreciation of the pestiferous nature
Of the fly, 1t is only comparatively re-
Gently that we have learned that he
deserves the title of the most danger
Gus animal on EARTH
The people Of this country spend
over $4,000, 900 annually for screens to
protect themselves against flies and
mosquitoes. The monetary cost to the
nation because of the fly even without
the infinitely more important consider
alton that should make each OF us
guard the health and life Of ourselves
and our families, forms an effective
argument in favor of the determination
of the fly pest.
For the fly plague need not be en-
dured as a visitation of Providence.
1t may be stamped out by the syste-
matte adoption by individuals and by
the public of the method Of cleanliness.
The fly is born in. lives and thrives
upon filth. If no filth is allowed to
accumulate in house or its neigh
borhood, 1t will not be troubled by
flies, for they do not ordinarily stray
far from their breeding places and
their sources of food. In thorough
ly clean neighborhood they cannot live
in the face Of screens preventing their
access to food and in the absence Of
manure heaps and other receptacles

greasless and will not cause growth OF

the skin soft. plump and giving 1t that
much admired tone of smooth, velvety,
youthful freshness.

you speak can be quickly removed II you
employ a delatone paste. Get an ounce
of daiatone from your druggist and with
little mix enough water to form paste.
Spread on offending hairs and after two or
three minutes rub OF, then wash the skin
and you will find the hairs are gone. Drug
Rlsts charge a dollar for delatone, but t

This world is full OF people whose
whole happiness and inner salvation
depend on their doctrine and practice
Of the remnant. We have referred al
ready to the decay and obscurity of
later life. But the position is equally
true of multitudes in their prime.
With them also the fragment is all
that seems left They have lost the
thing which made life desirable. Their
fortune has gone, or their friend. or
their health. Passion has wrought
disillusion. The man or woman on
whom they had staked their affections
is not what they thought. The cup
which brimmed and sparkled has
turned into draught Of bitterness. Is
this, then, LIES defeat? Not unless we
