SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

An Ancient POeteSN.
Sing a song o. sixpence!
A pocket full o rye!"
It WAS a gentle ditty
OF good old days gone by.
A little thing like sixpence
We view with great disdain:
1t wouldn't buy In days like thes'
A pocket full Of grain.
-Four and twenty blackbirds"
It's an order big;
You're rather lucky If you get
A little slice Of pig.
Old Mother Goose was singing
In a very reckless mood.
And had but faint ideas on
The future price Of food.

Garner Warns the Mohair
Producers

Rep. John n. Garner is the ranking democratic
r1omher Of the ways and means committee and mi
nority leader Of the house. He has warned Texas goat
raiSers, VINO produce practically all tie mohair Of the
country, that they stand to lose large sums of money
during the next several years unless an amendment
20 the republican tariff bill providing for an increase
Of the duty on low grade woods is admitted to the bill.
Texas sheep and goat raisers asked for an increase
Of duty on low grade woods to 81 cents a pound. 1t
was denied by the markers Of the bill. They retained
the "a and IS cent duties on the low grade woods, al
though raising the duty on higher grades Rep. Garner
says these low grade woods came into the country in
large quantities competing directly with Texas mohair.
There isn't a woolen factory in Texas. There isn't
a nohair mill in Texas. Makers Of things are AZ pow
erful under the big dome in the city Of Washington.
They demand low grades Of foreign wool. This en-
ables them to hammer down the price Of TEXAS

the dungeon of Jonathan's house,

oner with the inquiry lis there any

from the dungeon and confirming

But when jeremiah continued to

Jcremiah's Sorrows
Among the prophets none pre-
sents a more pathetic picture than
jeremiah. and none more nearly
resembles our Lord in the aspect
Of the Man Of Sorrows. The false
prophets prophesied peace. Jere-
miah war; they deluded the peo-
pie with false hopes they we're glad
to entertain. he denied all such
hopes; they stood on a level with
the masses. he stood above the mass
es trying to lift the masses I'D to
God: their path was the path OF
least resistance, his was the stern
upward path Of duty.
Jeremiah's Example
Our profit in the study Of this
lesson comes only as we translate
it from history into our " lives
in the living present. and strive
to emulate the traits Of character
that made Jeremiah the last or IS

increased duties mean many mil
