WHEN THE CHICKENS COME HOME.
You may take the world as it comes
and goes.
And you are sure to find
That fate will squar each account she
owes,
Whoever may come out behind
And all things bad that a man has
done,
But whatsoever induced,
Will aeturn to him one by one,
As chickens come home to roost.
You may toil and scrape and pinch
and save,
Till your hoarded wealth expands,
While the cold dark shadows of the
grave
Are nearing your life’s sands
You will have your balance struct some
night
And you will be reduced;
You'll view your life in a diffesent light
When the chickens come home to
roost.
You may stint your soul and starve
your heart
On the husks of a barren creed
But Christ will know if you play a part
Will know in the hour of need
And when you are waiting for death
- to come,
What hope can there be deduced
From a creed alond? You will lie there
dumb
While your chickens come home to
roost.
Sow as you will, there’s time to reap
The good and bad as well,
For conscience, whether we wake or
sleep,
Is either heaven or hell,
For every wrong will find it’s place
And every passion loosed
Drifts back to meet us face to face
As chickens come home to roost.
When over or under the sod,
The result will be the same;
You cannot escape the hand of God;
You must bear your sin and shame.
No matter what’s carved on your mar-
ble slab;
When the items are all produced,
You’ll find that St. Patrick was keep-
ing tab
And that chickens come home to
roost.

We believe every father and
mother is interested in the well
being of their children. The most
skillful oculists say that no child
should enter school until their eyes
are examined because they may
greatly hindred because of im-
perfect vision. No charge for ex-
amination. Now is an opportune
time to bring the children in before
school begins.

CURES SCIATICA.
Rev. W. L. Riley, L.L.D.,
Cuba, New York, writes:
After fifteen days of excruciat-
ing pain from sciatic rheuma-
tism, under various treatments,
I was induced to try Ballard’s
Snow Liniment; the first appli-
cation giving my first relief and
the second entire relief. I can
give it unqualified recommenda-
tion.’’ 25c, 50, $1.00. Soldby

THE DEATH PENALTY.
A little thing sometimes re-
sults in death. Thus a mere
scratch, insignificant cuts or
puny boils have paid the death
penalty. It is wise to have
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve ever
handy. It’s the best Salve on
earth and will prevent fatality,
when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and
Piles threaten. Only 25c, at
all Drug Stores.
IF YOU KNEW
You could get $10,000 for $75,
would you raise the money and
make the trade?
That’s what the young person
does who by spending $75 for a
shorthand course in Tyler College
at Tyler, Texas, is thereby
enabled to raise his salary
from $25 to $75 a month—a dif-
ference of $600 a year. It takes
$10,000 put at interest at six per
cent, to produce $600 a year.
Isn’t that equivalent to getting a
capital of $10,000 for $75? It’s
better, for the reason that it can-
not be lost or stolen.
This is the largest shorthand
school of regular day students in
the United States. If you ever
investigate the time, cost etc. of
a business and shorthand course
in this school, you will take it
here if anywhere. Illustrated 142

"CINDERILLA PARTY."
Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Tidwell
entertained last evening at a "Cin-
derilla Party” in honor of the
Misses Ozburn of Waco.
Soon after the guest had ar-
rived came the selection of a
partner for each young man for
the evening by choosing from
several slippers on a table, each
slipper having a young lady’s
name written on it.
The next thing in order was an
essay on "Cinderilla." Each young
man was given a pencil and paper
and allowed ten minutes in which
to write. They all did well, but
the judges decided that the one
written by Teel Dunlap was some
better than thcothers and the first
prize, which was a nice book en-
titled “The Dark Days,” was
awarded to him, and Clyde Alex-
ander succeeded in getting the
“booby” which was a slipper made
of cardboard.
Now the search for the slippers
which were hidden in the room,
one slipper for each couple, and
some good advice was found
written in each slipper, and were
read which created quite a great
deal of laughter.
Refreshments consisting of ice
cream and cake were served, after
which the guests bade them good
night and each wended their way
home, glad that they had been
permitted to attend such an en-
joyable affair.
The following were present:
Missses Muda Griffith, Minnie,
Rowena and Leila Dunlap, Ben-
nie Jones, Fannie Wright and
Eunice Duncan; Messrs. Harris
Cain, Raymond and Clyde Alex-
ander, Teel Dunlap, Virgil Odle,
Mark Griffith, Henry George and
Orby Lockett.
