Total Eclipse of the Moon.
A total eclipse of 'the moon vis-
ible all over the United States oc-
curred last night. Un Texas the
moon entered the shadow of the
earth at 10:40 p. in. the total
eclipse began at. ;ll:4c p. m. the
middle of the eclipse was readied
at 12:37 a m. the total eclipse
ended at 1:27 a. m. and the moon
left the shadow of the earth at
2:34 a. m. The point of first con-
tact with the shadow was 54 -degrees
from the north point of the
moon's limb toward the east.
-The eclipse was caused by the
shadow of the earth as the latter
passed between the $un and the
moon. The shadow was made up
Of a dark portion called the umbra
and a lighter portion called
the penumbra the light of the sun
being completely excluded from
the umbra but only partially from
the penumbra. The- moon can
only pass into the shadow of the
.earth when she is full or in oppo
sition. At the time of a total
eclipse such as occurred last
night the moon is not entirely in
visible but shines with a faint
copper colored light. This light
is refracted into the shadow of the
earth's atmosphere and its amount
varies "with the quantity of clouds
and vapor in that portion of the
fatmosphere which the. sunlight
jrmist graze in
order to
reach the
moon.

Where Were They?
Those who are opposed to the
present status of the saloon in pol-
itics assisted by the few converted
preachers and very few religious
people in the churches of Fort
Worth met their foe at the ballot
box last Tuesday but did not over-
come it. "The people who. believe
the saloon is a good thing from a
financial political and political
and moral standpoint are too strong
for those who practice the religion
they profess. One preacher and
one only deserves an attention
whatever from those who oppose
whisky rule and that is the brave
little Boaz pastor of the Mulky M.

was never vanquished. He only
among all the preachers in Port
Worth. had sufficient grace of God
in his heart to back his convic-
tions. He is true man of God and
every decent man and woman and
childjjn Fort Worth ought tojoin
the Mulky Memorial church. There
is not another preacher or church
in the city entitled to the support
of good people. "Where was Ho-

rise in eclipse on the morning after

The extreme cheapness of mili-
tary title's a few years after the
war is well illustrated by a story
that was told at a recent camp-fire.
The narrator said that in. the year
1S70 he was travelling through a
certain populous country district
and stopped' to converse with a
farmer who had a considerable
number of men at work in his hay
fields.
"Most of these men - are old
soldiers" said the farmer.
"Indeed! Are any of them offi-
cers?" "Two of 'em. One of .'em there
was a private and that fellow be
yond was a corporal but the one
beyond him was a major and that
man away over in the corner was
a colonel."
"Indeed! Are they good men?"
"Well" said the- farmer "that
private's a first-class man and the
corporal's pretty good too.'.
"But how about -the major
the colonel?" ..
"The major's so-so'.said

Youth's Companion
The advertising habit is not one
that lazy people can successfully
form. A barber whose wife con-
ducts a small laundry wrote with
a lead pencil on a piece of paper
the words "'quilts cleared. This
he placed on the wall of his shop
but it did not attract attention.
The barber concluded that adver
tising did not pay. A tramp want-
ed to exchange a neat' sign for a
haircut and shave and a trade was j
made. He was an artist and put j
in neat colors the following on a;
large pasteboard: "Quilts cleaned
while you sleep" '-Clothes dyed
while you live" "Hair cut while
you wait" and "Free shine with
every shave." Thesign was swung
and the papers incidentally men-
tioned it as a news.item. A month
later thatl)arler was making regu-
lar bank depo?its but before it
was with difficulty be could pay.
