SANTA PE
TO
,$an Antonio.
L. T. McCormick has gone back
to Va. to visit his friends and ac-
quaintances.
Dr. Roger’s family are back from
Walnut Springs where they spent
several days of recuperative pleas-
ure.
The Santa Fe has put m its side
track alongside the Tnmple Grocery
Company’s store without the
pledge.
People bring their water melons
to the Temple market that never
come to Temple at any other .season
of the year.. v '
Those who attended the Belton
Carnival, speak in praise of all the
exhibits and general good cheer ex-
tended to all.
Mr. B. F. Wofford’s little boy was
out exercising bis pony last Thurs-
day when it became frightened and
threw him off breaking his arm.
Mr. Jack Adams little son Claud
was riding the family horse about
the yard Thursday when he fell off
and the horse stepped on his arm
breaking it just above the wrist.
Messrs A. H. Calhoun and family,
J. O. Pratt and family, E. J. Morgan
and family, all of whom have been
in south Texas for the past month
are expected home in a few days.
Several gentlemen from the
country have come to the Times to
sell honey and when questioned
about the papers they read, most of
them were reading papers published
“away off.” We told them to go to
the same market with their honey.
There were 25 wagon loads of
water melons on the streets at one
time last week and all seemed to be
doing business, So preyalent has
this method become that merchants
do not handle the crop at ail. Prices
run from 5 to 20 cents and sales are
brisk.
Mr. Fred Hemmins is having a
very serious illness. In his delirium
he walked out of an open window
Monday night and received several
minor burises. A neighbor heard
his call tor help and carried him in
but never woke the nurse up who
was quitely enjoying a nap in his
chair.
i One of the curses of these times is
the political patronage basket.
Hardly a man is elected nowadays
who has not promised so many good
fat jabs that he is thought to be
without influence if he dont by hook
or by crook secure the greater
number of them. It is unpopular
to urge any change along this line,
but is a greatly needed reform.
Notice.
Is hereby given to whom it may
concern that nobody is authorized to
make any business engagements
whatsoever in my name and that I
will not be responsible for anything
unless ordered by me in writing.

Is Ths World Goes 'Round.
If life was as free from toil and
trouble as we wished, there would
be no fun in living.
If eyerytning was just as it should
be for one person, the others would
kick themselves to death.
If every one in the world would
join the ministry, all would die of
ennui.
If everybody that bears a mental
pain .would give vent* to their feel*:
ings, the asylums would be filled
with lunatics.
If you knew your neighbor’s
troubles, you would be thankful
that your’s are so few.
*t*
If the truth was told every time
that it should be, the prisons would
haye many more occupants.
If the milleneum was here, some
people would try to kick the lion
out.
If bicycles Were thirty cents each,
some people would want one for a
dime.
*t*
If chewing gum was a sure cause
of death, some girls would chew it.
I attended Belton’s Carnival last
week, and all in all, it was an enjoy-
able affair. The fruit exhibit was
fine, all from other points, nurse
ries, etc. The speech making was
good, but speeches now adays on
occasions of that kind are back num-
bers. The second day was by far
the best. The town was jammed
with people, and they retained their
good humor down in the dust ladeued
air of the park. The crowning feat-
ure of the whole business was the
trades procession, and it was splen-
did. I saw floats there that were as
fine as any I have ever seen at any
of the Mardi Gras. Belton can well
be proud of their entertainment. I
think they could have had more
amusements than they did, but it
was all right anyway. The town is
an awfully old looking place.
*!*
The worst feature of Belton’s
Carniyal was the music. I don’t go
much on music, as I am no musician,
but the Belton band ought to lay off
for about three years and learn to
play. They wrestled with marches
and two step music that a kid band
would literally blow to pieces.
They have a poor uniform, too;
straw helmets, white canvass coats
with black buttons, and any kind of
trousers that suited them. They
are no more in it with our band
than the man that fell out of the
boat. The mandolin club had a
beautiful float in the parade, and
they all seemed to be a jolly set of
fellows. Their sponsor, a beautiful
young lady, occupied a tastefully
draped throne erected at one end of
the car, while the club were grouped
in front. Palms, gauzes and drap-
ery finished the attraction. Their
music was poor.
I have been very busy during the
past week becoming acquainted with
the young lady teachers that are so-
journing in the city. My! but there
is a crowd of them, and many of
them are not only good looking, but
beautiful. But how they manage to
get out of bed and eat breaskfast,
and get to the normal at 7;30 is be-
yond my thinking; and thev have to
stay there until 1, Great guns! and
it as hot as it is. But say, it's jolly
in the evening and I have been put.
ting in my time talking, and as I
am again a candidate for matrimony
I suspect that I will be bound by the
glance of a pretty teacher before the
normal comes to a close.
Ever notice the way our little
folks are taugbt7 Suffering shades
of Pestalozzif They have the kids
come up to a table, five sticks are in
front of each one, and here is the
conversation that takes place:
“How many sticks are there on
the table?”
“There arc five sticks on the
table.”
“If I take two sticks from live
sticks, 1 will have three sticks left.”
“Therefore-”
“Therefore, two sticks from live
sticks leaves three sticks, and if I
return two sticks to three sticks, I
will have five sticks. Therefore
three sticks and two sticks arc fiye
sticks.”
How s that for a memory drill, eh?
stick,
ety, - stfckety, stick, stick,
sti—rats!
So the pull of the Santa Fe has
been blown up? How sad! And
the Katv will really have a tap up
town? Now isn’t that nice! An
eyen break with both roads and I’ll
bet the Katy in a short time will be
the king Din. 1 know that road;
Temple has not treated it right, or
we would have heard from it long
ago. I have been in every town of
any size on the Katy from here to
Kansas City and there Isn’t one but
the Katy takes an interest and pride
in. I sincerely.hope that the spur
will be the means of getting an up-
town station and ticket office for the
road, and if it does, the citizens of
this berg will experience some rail-
road politeness that will, please
them.
As yet nothing has been done in
regard to the side walks to the
market house. Well, it wont be
long now until the city will be com-
pelled to build them. Why? Be-
cause 9' is trying to make everyone
else erect side walks, and the city
has the privilege of doing as it
pleases about its own. Oh, I guess
not. Some day one of our lawyers
will be pulled on the side walk busi
ness, and when he gets through
with the city, it will be ready to lay
walks from here to Waco to get out
of the trouble. Now you just ob-
serve if what I have written does
not come to pass, and when it does
perhaps we will have side walks to
the market house.
*!*
How utterly cold and cheerless
would be this world—going to the
devil—without religion. I haye
heard infidels rant and rave, I have
heard crank preachers pervert the
word, yet with it all one has but to
look at the sky, the stars, the ocean,
the sun and earth’s creatures to
prove the existence of a God. The
very rythm with which all creation
moves proves it. It were indeed a
glorious life if we had but to live
and die. But when the time for
passing comes, we look across the
mysterious darkness, and it is pene-
trated by the light of a Godly grace.
Without the hope of something bet-
ter beyond the portals of death, life
has been lived for naught and a soul
flies away to foreyer go unchained
in a land of darkness.

Pierpont Morgan now controls
some 27,000 miles of railroad, and
has begun changing them to the
three railed electric system. This
is the death knell of the steam loco
motive. I have nothing in common
with trust representatives, but
some how this man excites my ad-
miration for the boldness and mag-
nitude of his schemes. The cost of
this railroad improvement will be
oyer six hundred million dollars,
yet he is undismayed by its contem-
plation. He is the only man living
that can control wealth enough to
complete the enterprise, and it will
be a good thing, too. While it will
net him many millions, it will also
take the roads from the hands of
many small robbers and place them
iD the hands of one large one, and
at the same time benefit the people.
The strangest habit ever acquired
by civilized beings is the habit of
snuff dipping, Here nearly every
girl of any size in the country is a
snuff dipper. What a sight to see
a sweet faced, rosy cheeked girl
with her mouth loaded with the in-
fernal stuff! But they don’t stay
rosy cheeked long; they soon get a
complexion like that of a fair leather
saddle and their eyes take on a dull,
glassy look. There are exceptions
in the habit, but the majority are
guilty, while in town it is not at all
prevalent. I am sorry girls will be
guilty of such vileness. Boys do it
also, but you can excuse them be-
cause of the coarser nature; but
girls, never. I haye seen whole
wagon loads of them dipping and
spitting with the experiness of a
man tobacco chewer.
Massachusetts has passed a law
prohibiting the sale of birds and
bird feathers in the millinery stores.
A splendid law, and one I haye long
prayed for. Dainty maidens who
would cry were you to kill a bird be-
fore their eyes, yet wear them to
satisfy their vanity, after they have
been killed. I wish the law was
everywhere, and were I a judge in
Massachusetts 1 would make it hot
for those who disobeyed. I haye no
admiration for a girl who can dec-
orate her head with the forms of
God’s littlo psalm singers to make
right kind of a heart and would
never attain the nobleness in life
that God intended for women. I
hope Texas will . pass such a law,
and I hope every state in the Union
will.
A woman’s downfall can be very
rapid. When I was working on a
city daily, I was detailed to “venti-
late” a sensational divorce suit.
The parties were very wealthy.
The case was of deep interest, and
the wife was granted a divorce.
This was nine years ago. Two years
after the divorce trial 1 reported the
suicide of a chief dispatcher of a
northern railroad. The same wo-
man was the cause of his death.
Still a year and a half later J was in
Europeon a special mission, and
while in a cafe In a free and easy
quarter of Paris, I saw a disturb-
ance that ended In pistol shots.
When the smoke had cleared away a
woman lay dying on the flQ<?r and ft
man was wounded. This same
woman had done It. There she
stood, as beautiful as ever with the
look of a demon in her eyes. Yes-
terday I passed her on the street.
She was older and greatly broken,
yet still good looking. She is now
living “down the line,” and this is
the pace that kills.
The great coal strike is still oil,
and while coal is becoming scarce,
the miner is nearer starvation. I
hope thev will win, but I am doubt-
ful. Our country has gotten so
completely under the control of
syndicates that they have things
pretty much as they wish, and thev
will do everything they can to pro-
hibit the settlement of the mining
question in any way save the wav
they wish it. Yet these conditions
cannot always be. There is nearing
us a time when the laboring people
of this country will arise in their
might, and the laws will be changed
and the trust be a thing of only his-
tory. God sneed the day and may
it come in time to give the coal
miners what they are striking for.

One ot the grandest, noblest en-
that black-eyed Temple girl that
you’ve no business to be looking at
eyen, much less writing about like
some love-sick spoonie. It’s a fine
thing you’ve selected some poor,
silly thing whose only wish in life is
to be admired for her looks. If she
had any of the mettle that makes a
true lady she’d hunt you down and
—and throw her chewing gum in
your face, you one-eyed, bald head-
ed old benedict. The yery idea of a
married man like you say you are
always prating about the girls, it’s
enough to run one mad; it makes
me nervous, and you ought to be
ashamed of yourself. What wquW}
you think, sir, and you arc no crite-
rion, because you arc one-eyed, if I,
a married woman, should pick out
some microcephalous dude with soft
brown eyes, silky hair, mustache
and brains and always raveabpqtj
him being at some cane twirling en-
tertainment? Why. ypu’d think I
w»s a littlo short on brains, just
what I think of yog. I Ifflovy yoUvI!
play the manly act now and say I
am envious. I’d like to know 6?
whom or what? Of course I, like
all women, like to be admired, but I
like admiration of men with two
good eyes and a hat full of good
sense and uone ot your narrow, lit-
tleness that wont brook the sending
of a missionary to anywhere till aiJ*
the home folks are in the Ark.
Your conscience hurts, you, that’s
what’s the matter with you, Now
if you don’t want to 96nd mission-
aries abroad it’s your business
strictly, no one will interfere with
you, but, if you are one-eyed, try to
see the fact that other people have
an equally good right to propagate
the gospel, and a better adviser
than you to follow. Just one more
word of advice: If you arc a mar-
ried man quit writing about that
black-eyed girl, let the missionaries
alone, keep the flag flying at the
band stand, look after your curfew
law, don’t urge decent people to go
into the “by wavs,” let Brother Arm-
strong alone, tell us all about your
summer girl, if she is the one you
married, and say, you'd better take
this advice, for it you don’t, the
terprises in this town is the Kings very next time I come to town I’ll
Daughters' hospital ami 1 wish I was
with lots of money so 1 could give
them some. If all the Christians in
the town would give, in place of the
tithe, one fortieth of their goods,
and all the sinners give what they
could, they could build a beautiful
hospital and furnish it nicely. The
institution has done and is doing a
great and good work. Many are
the blessings that have gone up for
it from the lips ot suffering human-
ity. I hope it will meet with even
more encouragement than now, so
that the near future will place it in
a position that it will be self sup-
porting. It is a great and good
work.
Life, the great drama being hourly
played in the great, cold world by
every human being, is getting
harder to bear every clay. Even
the small chance ot yesterday has
been swallowed up by today, and
the chance of today is too small for
trial. Nowadays one has but to ex-
tol! you a good deal more of what I
don’t think of von

Mr. Rounder, I’m glad to meet you
at this distance, sorry we’re not

who I am, I’m nothing but a woman
and I’m in town on business and
part of it is to tell you what I think

In the first place I’ll just remind
you that you are one-eyed and there-

thing. And right here I’ll puuse to
remark that that’s what’s the mat-

Now whose business is it to regu-
late the whole matter ot missions?*
If you’re the chappie you’ve stopped

see that, but it’s because you are
