LIVED AND SUFFERED
BY s. A. D. COX.

The ringmaster was a handsome
man, after a cruel tigerish fashion;
and Mile. Zongora, the animal trainer,
was good-looking, too. True, there
were hard lines about her face, show
ing that the mademoiselle had lived
and suffered; but what of that? She
had heart; she had feelings, just
the same as do those whom fortune
has never buffeted, and when the
ringmaster coolly told her that he no
longer cared for her, and that he was
going to marry Mile. Therese, the
bareback rider, who can blame Mile.
Zongora for feeling hurt and angry?
They stood there beside Mile Zon'
goras cage of lions and tigers, he
with a cold, sneering smile on his
lips, she with pain and rage in her
eyes-eyes which were capable, on
occasion, of flashing with as much
fierceness as those Of the most cour'
ageous of her tigers.

over and marry that white-faced chit
of a girl, are you?" fiercely.

The animal queen was not the
woman to rave. She simply regard
ed the ringmaster for few moments
with flashing eyes. Then she pointed
to Diavolo, the man.eating tiger, In
the cage before them, and said In an
intense, cutting voice:
Look there! You see Diavolo?
He is tiger, brute. He would tear
anyone to bits, and that would end 1t;
but you are worse. You tear your
victims heart, wiring the life blood
from It, and leave its owner to live
and suffer! The tiger is the better
animal of the two! YOU"
With a harsh laugh. the ringmaster
turned and strobe away, leaving the
woman to glare after him, pain rage.

Mile Zongora. desiring to always be
near her animals, lived In a little
house on wheels, home wagon, con
sisting Of two miniature rooms There
were two doors opening into the sit
ting-room, one at either side.
After the performance that evening.

Had No RIpht to Dodqe.

A witness in a civil damage suit
over the breaking of plate glass Win
dow in a German town testified that
as he was passing down the street he
saw stone come whirling through
the air and had just time to dodge it
to avoid being hit. The witness was
questioned as to whether the stone
that broke the window would have
struck him had he not lodged it, and
the magistrate held: "inasmuch as If
the witness had not unfortunately
ducked his head the glass would not
have been struck by the stone he Is
hereby adjudged responsible for the
breaking Of the window and is ordered
to pay to the owner the value of the

How the Koreans Talk.

A Korean convert committed to
memory the Gospel Of Matthew
When he was asked how he did it he
replied: Il had great difficulty in
making the text stick, but one day
decided that as | read it and tried
to commit it by memory should prac-
tice it verse by verse upon my neigh
bors, and | found that as | practiced
it somehow it stuck"
When a Korean wishes to know
whether he should take his medicine
before or after meals he says, Shall
l put this medicine under my rice or
on top of it," A Korean Sabbath
school secretary in his report instead
of giving the average attendance gave
the average absences. Such is an il
lustration of the difference between
the Korean way of thinking and
speaking and ours.-Christian Intelli

T. A. Adams, the popular. barber
whose shop is situated next to the
Exchange Hotel, has struck the stride
OF progress toward greater Bryan
and has thoroughly remodeled his
place so that it would be a credit 10

glass front, tile flooring, porcelain
baths, shower baths, and an electric
yapor bath, and has installed five san
itary hydraulic enameled chairs, with
a mirror twenty-five feet long fronting
them. The inside walls have been cal
somined, skylights have been placed in
the roof and a place set aside for a
lady manicurist who will be here later,
and last, but not least, is a fine boot
black stand with marble base, which
would be credit to any establish
ment. Mr.. Adams has spared no ex-
pense to give to Bryan the best in the
tonsorial line, and his place is one
that every citizen should be proud OF.
The employees clothed in their white
jackets look as proud and happy as a
boy with his first pair of new boots.

the party or parties handling the funds

DOESN'T BELIEVE IN
EXTRA TAXATION

C. R. L. Jones of Harvey will oppose
a bond issue for good roads. He says:
Il do not believe in extra taxation to
build roads in Brazos County. If the
officers of the county, excepting the
Sheriff, would reduce their salaries as
the County Judge has done, and the
present road law was strictly en-
forced, it would enable the county to
have fair roads that could be trav-
ersed"
Mr.. Jones believes that if the ex-
cessive salaries paid the officers OF
the county would be put in the road
building fund, it would not be neces-
sary to burden the people with extra
taxation.
