Sacredness Of the Sabbath.

The STANDARD is by no means
hide bound in regard to so-called RE-
ligious" views regarding observance
of the Sabbath, but on the contrary
it does not excuse the license some
people make of use of hammer and
saw on the Lords Day. This feel
ing may be better understood by the
motive that impe.s one to pass
around q friends back door if car
rying a rod for Sunday fishing, in
stead of by his open window
simply to avoid clashing with his
ideas Of propriety-while the act Of
fishing would probably be no more
reprehensible than of plucking corn
in somebody's field ON the Sabbath
day for food.
But we have no excuse for o city
officer to set his compass, wood
man to haul fuel, or the fathers to
pound or the mud-slingers to plaster
on contract building, to shorten
the time for such services from any
supposable cause.
1t shows want OF respect for the
custom of Christian country. and o
want OF personal regard for those
who recognize that obligation. for
such q palpable violation of propriety
and good taste, and we sincerely
hope that it will be abated.
Some of our people no not seem to
know that it is q violation of the
State law for theaters to give Sun
day performances, and the spirit ap-
plies equally to the picture-shows.

The Texas of romance and the

different things. There was a
time when the cowboy was a
most important factor, but he has
given away to a newer and better
condition, and instead Of his
personal property consisting of
broncho that he bought or just
roped and saddled, regardless of
who it belonged to, and a pair of
siX-shooters, he now owns a farm
or is engaged in manufacturing
from the many raw materials so
abundant here. It's his effort,
along with thousands Of others
who have come here from the
older sections of the country.

Style isdrivingthe women mad
II some OF these styles were not
positively dangerous we could
overlook the madness thatseems
to possess the women Of the pre-
sent day in their rush to keep up
with the very latest. just look
at one OF the dear things coming
down the street with a whole
basketful OF puifs and curls and
rats on her head. The new idea
seems to be to get just az little
on the body as possible ana just
as much on the head as possible.
Possibly the idea is to cover up
t he weakest spot. but one thing
il sure, no matter how cold the
wind, nor how thick the snow
and ice, the dresses get shorter
and closer aud the stocking are
becoming as thin as the ETHEREAL
blue. But we intended tOdiscuss
rats and the many dangers ar
sing from the present day rat
trap heads. For months the bu
bonic plague has been raging in
Manchuria, q province OF China.
The daily death rate has become
so great that it has been impos-
sible to protect the people from
the ravaees of this deatl-deal-
ing monster. ThOusand ds of bod
les are piled up and burned each
day in order to save those who
remain from the deadly disease.
But here is where we come into
this story. Last week at Harbir
two thousand bodies were placed
in one pile and burned at one
time. Those we're Chinese. but
not a single one was burned with
his cue. That had been cutfrOm
his or her head and the mass oI
hair shipped to Europe to be VOL
ked up into rats and puffs for tht
American women. Two Thousand
bodies OF the Chinese burned in
one day from the great plague
yet their hair is. cut from theil
bodies for the beautiful Ameri-'
can women to wear. The disease
is so dreadful in it's awful wOr'
that the bodies cannot be bur,
led, but must be burned to stoI
the spread Of the greatest srourgt
: mankind has ever known, yet tn
. hair is taken from these bodies
, bleached and sold to make RATS
