STRIKE NOT Alarm
ING LOCALLY
Railway Agents Are Optimistic About
strlke-LoeaI Crews Have Not
Had Orders to Quit.

The great railway strike which Is
threatening has not as yet reached
an alarming stage in the city Of
Bryan. As yet the crews have re.
ceived no notice to quit work and
the !. & G. N. switch crew which Is
stationed here in Bryan expect toI
continue their work unless orders are
received to quit.
In referring to the strike situation
this morning Mr.. c. l.. Peck, agent
for the international and Great North
ern railway in this city said that he
was still OF the same opinion that lie
had been all the way thru and that
was that he did not believe the strike
would be ordered. "They have four
days yet in which to settle the mat
ter and / feel like something will be
done. As yet our local crew here
has not received orders to stop work
on Labor day. The only order that
has been given here is for us to &C.
cept freight subject to the strike and
TO not guarantee the delivery at any
certain time. Even II the strike Is
called am OF the opinion that enough
trains will be operated by non'union
men TO carry on the commerce OF the
country. There are too many men
who know how TO run an engine TO
let everything tie up" said Mr.. Peck.
,"and most any one can act rs a fire.
man or a brakeman. Our road has
had any number Of applications al
ready for employment and the roads
will operate Just the same. OF course
not as accurately as before but the
trains will not stop entirely"

The Post had occasion a few days
ago TO call attention TO the brakeman
on Texas railroad who was too busy
reading to attend to the duties OF his
Job or to assist ladies' and children
on and off the train. He Is still on
the job-of reading. But we note
that up in Arkansas they have one
conductor. at least. who Is willing to
do what he can for the comfort and
welfare OF passengers. This con.
ductor held train twenty minutes In
order that baby passenger might be
supplied with milk. Later he was
surprised TO receive from d. +. Bush
Of st. Louis. receiver OF the road. q
letter OF commentator. Said Mr.
Bush: Your act proves that railroad
officials and employees place the In
terests OF humanity above even rail

The big smashing Triangle feature,
"The Deserter." will be the attrac'
ton at the Dixie this afternoon and
tonight, and incidentally II Is classed
as one OF the very best productions
ever put out by the Triangle Corpora

Charles Ray. It Is a succession OF
powerful climaxes, the final thrill
coming when, after furious race be-
tween an Indian and the hero. the
Indian overtakes the latter, rides
alongside and jumps on the officers
horse, where a terrific fight ensues
while the maddened horse races to
death over a 7O-foot cliff. II is with

Contractor Hubbard is losing no
time on the Astin building at the cor
ner Of Main and Anderson streets.
The old walls have all been torn
down and the debris removed. A
large force Of workmen are now busy
making the excavation for the base
ment and the work is being pushed
forward without delay. Material has
begun arriving and according to Mr..
Hubbard actual construction work
will be under way in a very short
time unless the railroad strike effects
the shipment Of material. Mr.. Hub
bard has just completed several Jobs
on Main street and has others under
way, but this will in no wise effect

child nature has taught us is that young children are neither virtuous nor wicked: they are not moral, and they are not immoral" They do many things that are quite acceptable to older people, and even pleasing. And they do many things that are decided ly objectionable. But whatever they do is-at least at first-without any moral significance.
 Much of the young childs conduct is initiative. When a boy goes through the motion of lighting pipe and puffing clouds of smoke toward the ceiling you cannot believe that he has begun his descent to perdition, no mat ter what you think of smoking in gen eral or of your curtains in particular. On the other hand. when little girl begs for pennies to give to the blind beggar or to the grind-organ man you have no warrant for assuming that she is natural-born philanthropist, no matter what your views on charity.
 Much of the young child's conduct results from purely instinetive inn pulses. So every child will lie under suitable provocation. without thereby indicating q streak of untruthfulness ];

cause she told on the old miser, and Joe was so hot-headed she might have known that he would draw gun for her" The gasping mother concluded. He was always that handsome and had such Il way. One winter when I WAS scruhhing in an office building I'd never get home much before twelve o'clock. but Joe would open the door for me just as pleasant as if he hadn't been walked out of a sound sleep" She was so triumphantly unconscious of the ineOngruity of n sturdy son in bed while his mother earned his food that her auditors said never word. and in silence We saw hero evolved before our eyes defender of the oppressed the best beloved of his mother, who was losing his high spirits and eating his heart out behind prison bars He could well defy the world even there, surrounded as he was by that invinci- hle affection which assures both the fortunate and unfortunate alike that we are loved, not according to our | deserts, but in response to some pro | founder law.-Jane Addams, in the At | lantic.

HER MOTHER LOVE SUPREME
Aged Woman's Pathetic Defense of Worthless Son a Miracle of
 Loyal Affection.

Joe had violently quarreled with woman, the proprietor of the house in which his disreputahle wife lived, be- cause she withheld from him part of his wife's earnings. and in the alter cation had killed her-a situation, one would say. which it would be difficult for even mother to condone. But not at all; her thin gray face worked with emotion, her trembling hands restlessly pulled at her shabby skirt as the hands of the dying pluck at the sheets. but she put all the vitality she could muster into his defense. She told us he had legally married the girl who supported him, although Lily had been so long in that life that few men would have done it; of course such a girl must have a protector or every body would fleece her; poor Lily said to the day of her death that he was the kindest man she ever knew, and treated her the whitest that she her self was to blame for the murder be-

 When all the facts in the case are considered one is tempted to suspect that Louise WAS actuated by the imp of perversity and that Donald was moved by finer spirit. However, his conduct was unbecoming gentleman. and Louise had only moved the chair.
 It is still the usual thing to look upon children as emhodiments of one or the other of the two conflicting spirit of right and wrong Too many of us think that child is either an angel or devil, and that our chief concern in life is to adore these of the second.
