The Same Old Truth.
The Cleburne Chronicle says:
"The universe pays every man in his
own coin; If you smile it smiles upon
you in return: if you frown you will
be frowned at; if you sing you will
be invtted into gay company: if you
think you will be entertained by
thinkers and if you lov e the world
and earnestly seek for the good that
there is therein you will be surround-
ded by loving friends and nature will
pour into your lap the treasures of the
earth. Censure criticise and hate
and you will be censured criticised
and hated by your fellowmen. Every
seed brings forth after Its own kind.
Mistrust begets mistrust jealousy be-
gets jealousy hatred begets hatred
confidence begets confidence kindness
begets kindness and love begets love.
Resist and you will Ite resisted. To
meet the aggressive assault every
entity rises up rigid and impenetrable
—while yonder mountain of granite
melts and floats away on the bosom
of the river of love.”
There is much in this but it's sim-
ply a repetition of the scriptural
axiom: "As ye sow so shall ye reap.”
A Justifiable Kick.
The Kaufman Sun indulges in the
following justifiable kick:
"The editor of the Sun wishes to

party who has taken off some of the
scantlings along the sidewalk in front
of his house. If the city had made the
sidewalk he would call it theft but the
editor himself paid for the scantlings
and brickbats and sand and under
theee circumstances can only speak of
ft as ‘taken off.’ It is true that wagons
had run over them and torn them up.
but this had happened before when the
weather was bad and the man with a
team had less thought of the sidewalk
and the city ordinance against driving
on them than he did of the easier pull
tor his horses. Say. won’t you bring
those scantlings back or some new
ones when the weather improves? The
editor of the Sun will agree to put
them in piace again and may be have
a few more loads of sand put on the
walk.”
There is only one thing remains.
Catch the offender kick mm and kick
him good and hard. Then rebuild the
sidewalk at your own expense.
IteaMoa to Ur Happy.
What is the use of being at odds
with the world? What is the use of
being blue and despondent? The world
is full of trials for us all—has plenty
of trouble and worry to hand out even
to the best of us from time to time.
But there would be no need for men
aud women—we could all be babes—if
there were no great life problems to
solve no burdens to bear no sorrows to
live down. These are the balance
wheels of life. They are the trials we
' have to face in order to strengthen us
। and broaden us to the opportunities
and the real happiness that riches do
not command nor poverty bar.—New
York Mail and Express.
The Butler Was In Doubt.
The recent St. Andrew’s dinners ac-
cording to the Westminster Gazette
have been noteworthy for the profu-
sion of Scotch stories which In several
cases fairly set the tables in a roar.
Some of them have an ancient ring '
but there is one that is perhaps not
generally known. A doctor was at-
tending a dangerous case where a
Scotch butler was engaged. On calling
in the forenoon he said to Donald “I J
। hope your master’s temperature is i
much lower today than it was last I
night” "I’m no' sae very sure aboot
that” replied the butler "for he dee d
this morning.” j

An Authority. t
• Teter McArthur was once talking •
with a friend when be quoted another *
man as a financial authority. His *
friend disputed the right of the person '
quoted to be considered an expert. Mr.
McArthur Insisted that the man had a 1
right to speak like an oracle.
"What is your definition of an au-
thority?” asked his friend. t
"My idea of an authority” retorted i
I Mr. McArthur “is a person who bluffs t
beyond my limit.”

Waco. Tex. March 14.—At least thru
or four person* have been heard from ii
this city who have had experiences whirl
led them to believe that an extra larg
number of telephone or telegraph wire
running through the tops of trees will ii
Home way electrify bum or kill th
trees. One gentleman said today thu
he had just lost a fine healthy tree am
so far as he eouhl discover ther was m
cause for its dying except that then
write many wires passing very close t<
it some of them almost touching tie
limbs. He examined the tree carefully
but could find no blight it siniplj
allowed signs of sudden distress begat
to fail visibly and in a short time was
dead. Two others had similar experi
ernes recently. They seem to think that
possibly the conditions about the wire-
at e such as t<> impoverish the atuMMphen
of certain elements which it should con-
tain in order to support plant life.
Home for Fallen Women.
Mr. Adants. a well known eaipenter ot
this city a man near 70 years of age
but well preserved is soon to go from
here to North Texas to engage in work
in connection with the Rescue Home for
Fallen Women. He will have charge of
the buildings of this institution will
keep them in repair add other needed
structures from time to time and do
other work of this character. He has
lieen interested in this work for a long
time thinking it was one of the greatest
fields now open for consecrated effort.
He has lived in Waco many years and
is highly respected.
G. A. R. Encampment.
Members of Grand Army posts here
are getting ready for the annual encamp-
ment in Dallas about the middle of
April and it is thought that quite a
number will attend. The local |MMts are
usually ready to go to the state meet-
ings the interest in the organizations be-
ing good. It is thought that the Dallas
gathering will be up to the standard or
New Rector for Episcopal Church.
Members of the <-ongregation of the
Episcopal church are interested just now
in the new rector Kev. Edward Temple
of Front Royal Va. On Sunday he will
l>e regularly installed according to the
institute ceremony and two or three vis-
iting ministers are expected to be on
hand. Had the lamten season not been
on it is likely that the bishop would
have been here and very elalsirate ser-
vices held. As it is however the ser-
vices will be something not seen liefore
in the Episcopal church here and will
be very interesting.
Presbyterian Church Without Pastor.
Ilie Austin Avenue Presbyterian
church is still without a pastor to suc-
ceed Rev. Dr. S. A. King but efforts are
being made to get a suitable man. On
Sunday Dr. Evans o f the Milford Col-
lege will preach to the congregation. <
Correspondence is being carried on in the
matter of calling a pastor and action i
will be taken soon. ।

l.at there is a number of sneak
Sieves operating in the city and warns
esidents especially | n the suburbs
gainst them i.nd to use ever> precsu
ton to Prevent them fro mmaking

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.
/oung Gkl Claims to Have Been
Struck |n the Fac e With a Whip.
Alberta Garcia aged about 25 years
was arrested last night on an affidavit
preferred against him by Miss T. Mar-
tinez a young girl about 19 years old
charging him with aggravated assault.
According to the testimony of the girl
Ga-cia struck her in the race with a
cuirt last night at her home and also
beat her over the head with the butt
end of the whip. She appeared in the
recorder’s court this morning her face

FELL FROM A WINDOW.
A Stranger Has a Narrow Escape from
Being Killed.
Victor Tilburg who has been in the
citv but two days fell trom the sec
oud-story window of his boarding
house this morning at 1:30 o'clock but
escaped being killed. He was render-
ed unconscious for a short time. He
•was conveyed to the city hospital
where an examination proved that Til-
burg hod received only a few bruises
and a scalp wound.
FOR THE FAIR SEX.

fllie Jitost marked features of the
skirts of the season ore the front panel.
For thia skirt the panel I* formed by
’ overlapping pieces which being cunt in-
. tied form the shaped florin- es which
f border the edge. 'Hie upper flounce is
headed by three rows M the fancy mo-
hair braid so much liked ul present.
Though rather of the fancy tailor-made
order the tinnish throughout is of the
most severe tailor type all edges ladiig

WIUT.
She Actually Hit It.
The Baird Star says:
•'A woman threw three rocks
through the front door of James
Beech's saloon Tuesday. No damage
was done to anything except the three
large window glasses that were
broken. Baird seems to be getting a
fast gait on itself this week. No ar-
rests.”
Now what was the irate femaie aim
ing at? Surely not the saloon for. if
she had done so she would tp>t have hit
it. Anyway such women Wno indulge in
stene throwing should be caged. When
a woman thus unsexes herself she
ceases to command the respect that
otherwise should be her due.
A Modern Vampire.
The Ennis News says:
“A woman in Kansas City aspires
to the hangman's job al the execution
of a murderer in that city on April 17.
She states that her father was a
sheriff and she saw him hang several
people and she acquired a liking for
That kind of work.”
Such a woman is not a woman she
Is a vampire. It Js bad enough to take
human life in the discharge of duty—-
xnd even tough sheriffs hate the task
—but to volunteer to do it for the tie-
light of it is simply horrible. Missouri
Is welcome to the distinction. Texas
wants no such things in her midst.
The Wrong Cat.
The Rochester N. Y. correspondent
of the Waco Times-Herald says:
"The performance of "Hast Lynne"
st the opera house in Clyde did not
take place last night only a part of the
first act being put on. Clyde is one
if the prosperous towns of Wayne
■ounty noted for its wealthy citizens
ind a fashionably dressed audience
bad packed the little theater by the
line the curtain went up. A polecat
:rept into the foyer darted by uu-
tpposed into the orchestra circle.
Dazed by the lights it stopped in the
lisle near where a young man of the
own was sitting with his best girl
rhe young man foolishly leaned over
nd stroked ‘pussy.’ Inside of two
ninutes the opera house was empty.”
Moral: Don’t monkey with strange
ats. They often leave traces behind
hat are of an unpleasant character.
They Always Get There.
The Beeville Picayune sayas (
"Our telephone rang the other day f
nd the assistant postmaster answered
he call. ‘ls there any mail for me?’ t
.sked a feminine voice. ‘Sorry’ an- j
wered the assistant postmaster ‘but c
he postoftice inspector lias forbidden us q
o answer mail calls.’ ‘That’s all right’
eplied the voice ‘this is a female talk
ng.' This reminds u s of the story of ?
wo old women who in their journey one i
lay came to a toll-gate. ‘How much to <
>ass’ asked the driver. ‘Ten cents for a t
nan and a horse’ said the keeper open- I
ng the gate. ‘Well’ announced the old 1
ndy ‘we're two old women and a mare i
Jet up Jenny!’ and they drove through I
nd on. leaving the keeper staring ojien- '
nouthed.”

What He Wanted.
The Yoakum Daily Telegram says:
"A colored brother writing to the
bishop to send a preacher said: ‘Send
us a bishop to preach Sunday. If you
can't send a bishop send sliding el-
der: if you can’t spar’ him. send a
stationary preacher: if you can t spar’
him send us a locus preacher: if you
can’t do no better send us an ex-
hauster.' ”
This may be funny but not unrea-
sonable. The man wanted the best he
could get. That's what we all do even
though w e put the requisition in a
better way.
