We publish in this week’s paper a
poem written by Mrs. George Kyle
while at Salado. The poem was
not elicited by love sickness as was
Burnes’, nor by blindness as was
Milton’s, nor impecuniosity as was
Scott’s, but by a keen perception of
the rediculous as was Cowper’s ride
of Gilpin.

A small 12 year old boy by the

The teachers and other invited

and by 9:30 o’clock there were at
least Beventy-fiye persons enjoying
themselves reading, talking, looking
at Kodak pictures, listening to
sweet music and in fact enjoying
themselves in the way it best suited
them, for those who have attended

He said that it was surprising to
him that out of the number of pretty
young ladies who were present
there was not a single proposal.
Perhaps the Doctor did not know.

Dr. J. H. Luther delivered his
lecture on Brazil Tuesday night at
the First Baptist church to a small
audience,when the man and the sub-
j ject are considered. The Doctor spoke
an hour to an attentive audience
and all the criticism we haye heard
is that the Doctor attempted to
cover too great a field in so short a
time. He was absolutely running
over with things to tell, and rushed
from point to point so fast that one
had no time to dwell upon, and ap-
preciate the facts and their bear-
j ings. There was a desire on the
part of the speaker to compress
within a few minutes’ talk what
would serve for themes for half a
dozen lectures. Therp was too much
meat, the diet was too strong for
brains of our caliber, a little more
anecdote, a little more humor, a lit-
tle more dress on the naked truths
told, would render the lecture the
equal to any we haye ever heard
along the line of what might be
called topographical history. The Dr.
exhibited a number of native beatles
and specimens of wood, together
with several little images that had
been objects ol worship. We think
it strange and absurd that a man
would sit down and whittle out some
imaginary creature and then get
down on his knees and pray to it,
but how great is the difference be-
tween worshiping a little piece of
wood and the worship paid the little
piece of metal in this country that
has an eagle on one side and a wo-
man’s head on the other? 1 Tf one is
“Tom” Watson’s Valedictory.
The Hon. Thomas E. Watson
flings up the sponge for the people’s
party. It is being “resolyed into Its
original elements,” he declares.
“Those who were once democrats
will be democrats again and those
who were republicans will be repub-
licans again ” This is distressing
news, particularly to democrats, for
the loquacious Watson was himself
once of that political faith.
Perhaps, however, the people’s
party is not in articulo mortis.
Watson may have confused its un-
willingness to let him be its master
mind, its sole leader through the
desert to the promised land, with an
indication of approaching collapse.
He may have erred. Perhaps it’s
Watson who is politically dead, and
not the people’s party.
But if he is right there are con-
soling facts in the case. The weekly
effusions of “Tom’ Watson, a coun-
try editor without a paper, will per-
haps be less frequently quoted to
demonstrate that the “revolt of the
populists” is breaking down the
democratic party than they are now.
And perhaps, without a people’s
party in the south to fuse with, the
republicans will find themselves
again without representation from
south of Mason and Dickon's line.
Mr. Watson accjmpanies his de-
scent into his political tomb with a
prodigious blast against fusion. But
it is only the fusion in behalf of Mr.
Bryan—whom he now boasts of hav-
ing defeated—that he condemns.
The little diplomatic arrangements
with the republican party in the

CONTINUOUS STREET RAILS.
The Contraction and Expansion ot the
Metal Were Easily Overcome.
Continuous rails, made up of ordinary
rails length welded together electrical-
ly, are in use on many miles of electric
street railways in the Unitedi States,
says Casaier’s Magazine, and with ex-
cellent results, too, having shown them-
selves to constitute an ideal track.
Whatever misgivings may have arisen at
one time as to the serious pranks which
expansion and contraction might play
with such continuous tracks have been
effectively allayed, as experience has
shown that the difficulties likely to
grow from these causes'are not extraor-
dinary. It is interesting, however, to
Mr. L. J. Taylor, a member of the
First Baptist church in Temple who
has been confined to his bed for the
past 48 days with slow fever, wishes
to acknowledge with gratitude the
many kindnesses that have been
shown him during his illness. He
says he never saw better neighbors
than he has found in Temple. He
announces with thankfulness that he
is convalescent and hopes soon to
be able to attend to business.
Mr. Bryan On Trusts.
Mr. Bryan at his meetings in Cali-
fornia, where he has addressed near-
ly the whole population of the State,
while giving precedence to the finan-
cial question, has not neglected
othor subjects of importance. His
attacks upon the trusts haye been
extremely forcible, because he has
eschewed futile denunciation and
restricted his arraignment to the
facts, which are more eloquent than
the most torrid rhetoric. He has
been careful to point out that the
extortion practiced by these combi-
nations that have monopolized the
c:untry's natural resources and
captured its trausportation system
is not the worst feature of their
blighting dominance over industry
and trade. The greatest evil rep-
resented by the trusts is, as Mr.
Bryan says, that they are changing
the laws which used to govern bus-
iness success, Who can dispute the
truth of these statements?
In the olden days if a man start-
ing in business had sufficient capital,
had sufficient industry and had
sufficient integrity, you might ex-
pect him to make a success of bus’
iness. Not necessarily so to-day.
note that of the troublesfrom tempera- A man may havo sufficient capital:
lure variations in the track, that due a man may be industrous; he may be
to a temperature lower than the one at
which the rails were welded is the only
one requiring serious consideration. It
is found in the tendency of the rail to
shrink in a longitudinal direction, and
this must be counteracted by a pull on
the end's of the rail sufficient to produce
a corresponding amount of stretch.
Temperatures above that at which the
rails were welded cause compression,
and this has never been found'to make
trouble where the track was at all se-
cured by the roadbed.
Experience, therefore, would seem to
point to the winter season as the time
for welding continuous track, as then
the rails are materially contracted; and,
though exceptionally cold snaps may
be productive of a slight state of tension
in the rails, yet the maximum stress
would be nothing like that In rails
welded in the summer, and'probably far
below the strength of the welds.

A River That Petrlflea.
The water of the River Tinto, in Spain,
hardens and petrifies the sand of its bed,
and if a atone falls in the stream and
alights upon another in n few moments
they unite and become one stone. Fish
cannot live in its waters.

MR, BIFFLEBY GOES YACHTING.
An Ineiprnalve Trip, the Only Aetna!
Outlay Being; for a Bottle of Tar.
“ ‘A life on the ocean wave.
And a home on the rolling deep.
Where the scattered waters rave
And the wind* their vigil keep.'
“I don’t know that I have the quota-
tion exactly right,” said Mr. Biffleby,
according to the New York Sun, “but
it will serve os an introduction to what
I want to say.
“I am very fond of yachting, but I
don’t go as much as I would like to,
on account of the expense. But I am
not without the enjoyments of yacht-
ing; for when the desire for water
comes over me, as it does every sum-
mer, I manage to go yachting at home.
“Every spring I buy about a pound
of tar, which I keep in a bottle tightly
corked. When it oomes along some
drowsy summer day, and I feel that
I would like to be lying on deck baking
in the sun, with the yacht nodding
along lazily in the summer breeze, then
I take a trip at home.
“That night I eat fish for dinner,
or clam chowder, and I go to bed early.
Before going to bed I start the water
running In the bathroom; the sound
at it makes the waves, lapping against
the bow of the boat. I clew up the
awnings only partly; the starting of
the awnings when the wind gets In
their folds does for the swaying sails.
I bring out the bottle of tar uud un-
cork it, and set it on a chair up by
the head of the bed. I douse the glim
and tumble into bed, ‘Rocked In the
cradle of the deep.’ ’’
Food Law* In France.
France knows how to protect the
rights of her people. Anybody who
doubts the genuineness of an article
of food that he hns purchased from a
Parisian tradesman may take It to the
municipal laboratory for anaylais. It
will cost him nothing to have it ana-
lyzed and the fact determined whether
it Is unadulterated or adulterated, and
if the latter the law deals with the
offender without further action on the
part of the purchaser. The shopkeeper
is liable to be heavily fined and im-
prisoned, and has to display con-
spicuously In his shop window or on
his door for a year a large placard
bearing the words: “Convicted of
Adulteration.”
Salcido* In Europe.
Oii an average about 100 persons
commit suicide in tlie River Thames
annually. Of these some on jump from
the parapets of Westminster bridge.
The average number of suicides in Lon-
don is 87 per annum per 1.000.000 in-
habitants. The ratio of Paris is 472.

honest; he may have business ex-
perience; yet in a moment he may
find his capital dissipated, he may
find himself a banktupt. Why?
Because the trust will come to him
and hold out before him two propo-
sitions—either ask him to become a
member of the trust, a conspirator
against his fellows, or threaten him
with bankruptcy on the other hand.
If lie prefers his independence, he is
given death. If he escapes death, it
means simply servitude to the trust
to which he attaches himself.
The Cigarette Trust, whose mem-
bers were recently ou trial in this
city, is a type of all trusts. The
evidence showed that no merchant
could sell cigarettes with profit who
did not become a slave of the
Trust—buy alone from it and sell at
the prices fixed by it, or go out of
the business. Those are the condit-
ions on which an American citizen
may deal in oil, sugar or any article
whose supply is controlled bv a
trust. This sordid despotism is not
destructive of eonipetion merely; it
renders independence in trade im-
possible and degrades manhood.
The business men of the nation are
either becoming trust tyrants or
being reduced to the Diace ot lackeys
to these masters ot the commercial
field.
But Mr. Bryan has not confined
himslf to describing evils and de-
fining perils. He is a man of
remedies:
It is tiie province of wise men to
torsee. It is the sign of intelligent
men to prepare for danger before it
comes immediately upon them, and
I think the American people ought
to be awakened to-day to the danger
that the trust presents; that they
ought to arise in their might, and
through State Legislation, as well
as national, drive the trust out of
existuuce and give it warning never
again to set foot on American soil.
II can he done by the enforcement
of the laws that now exist. If new
laws are necessary, they must be
devised; and if the Supreme Court
finds that our Constitution prevents
the extermination of the trust, then
the time has come when we must so
change the Constitution as to per-
mit the people to live themselves,
even if by living they must kill the
trusts.
That the struggle which is on be-
tween the trusts and the people tor
the possession of the country and
its government will end in the tri-
umph of the people no American
who believes in the capacity of men
for self-government can doubt. The
Democratic tide which has swept
away theories and hereiditnry no-
bility is not to be stayed and turned
oack on this continent by a dike of
moneybags. The men and not the
dollars of this Republic will rule
it.—N. Y, Journal.
