‘•But what a country we have
fl to study! Of all lands, says one,
Norway, m many respects, must]
ever rank as the most wonderful.
Persons who have gone to Switz-
erland once, go to Norway a
score of times. Tourists, who
have encircled the globe, exclaim
that other places are grand, but
none excel this paradise of Na-
ture—Europe’s Eden where
^wSSft* visit and royalty reigns,
land very unlike much of
Southern Europe and Western
Asia, through which the great
• majority of tourists travel. Of
such a land who could not write,
who would not feel an inspira-
tion? But who is equal to the
task? A lecture on such a land
ought to be as clear as her crys-
tal lakes, sparkling as her snowy
slopes, rich as her hills and for-
^ eats, bright as her sons and
beautiful as her daughters, pure
as her homes, complete as her
.Christian life, deep as her fjords
and as lofty and rugged as her
mountain peaks.
We had traveled in the wild
and wolly west and in the wise
and winning east. We had en-
circled the Emerald Isle, ridden
with pat and eaten with Bridget
We had seen the bonny lads and
lassies of a Bonny Land, and vis-
ited the Trosachs made forever
famous by the creative genius of
the immortal Scott. We had
walked with John Bull from Pic
cadilly to Rotten Row, through
Hyde Park and Kensington Gar-
dens. We drank his black tea,
ate his bottomless pies and top-
less tarts. We had ridden
through the Teppence Tube
above ground, under ground
through gas, smoke and dirt.
We ate his mutton chops until
we were ashamed to look an in-
nocent sheep in the face without
feeling sheepish, and, when in
despair we left the land for Hol-
land, lo and behold, even the
channel was choppy and we
threw up our hands and about
everything else. We had travel-
ed through the land of Kaiser,
f yenice, the art
tod the in.
versed Alpine glaciers and snow
clad mountains, yep, we bad
journeyed even in free America.
But in so part of God’s earth
am one journey with less adnoy
anoe and with more of real satis-
faction and pleasure than among
the hardy sons and daughters of
the far North—men with endur-
ance born of struggle, with her-
oism born of hard-fought battles,
with integrity born of a cultured
conscience, and With a faith di-
vine that overcomes the world.”

Texas Central Service.
Waco, Texas, April 27.—Col.
Charles Hamilton, vice president
and general manager, says the
Texas Central is runnifig trains
from Dublin to Rotan and from
Waco to Walnut Springs, and
will resume traffic in both de-
partments over the entire line
by the end of the present week.
The loss by the recent Overflow
of the Upp^1 Brazos and its trib-
utaries to the Texas Central,
Col. Hamilton says, will exceed

[f any one has any doubt as to the
virtue of Foley’s Kidney Cure, they
need onlO to rsfer to Mr. Alvin H.
St imps on, of Williamantic, Conn.,
who, after almost losing hope of re-
covery, on account of the failure of
so many remedies, finally tried Foley’s
Kidney Cure, which he says was “just
the thing” for him, as four bottles
cured him entirely. He is now entirely
well and free from all the sufferings
incident to acute kidney trouble. -

could; not the gentleman who's I
going to some day; but the man
who does now, today. No sitting
around waiting about him; not
expecting something to happen;
no looking for something to turn
up. Nosir. He calls the turn
and turns ’em; he takes off his
coat and doesn’t care if he starts
a little sweat; he doesn’t need a
big brass buttoned copper to tell
him to move on; he keeps the
procession humping to keep up
with him; he is hustle from his
feet up and from his head down;
he is not only in the push, but he
is the push—the whole thing;
and say, the way he makes things
come and business hum is a cau-
tion: the way the world takes
that fellow up and is good to him I

right, he is; he greases the wheel
of progress and keeps the world

There is no cup of joy so sweet
but that if we hold it attently to
ou'r spirit’s taste we shall detect
in it the salt flavor of tears, says
J. T. McFarland. There is no
laughter so silvery clear but that
some quality of it shall suggest
the cry of pain., There are no
eyes so bright with joy but that
some gleam from their depths
shall suggest the fountain of
tears. Tragedy haunts the foot-
steps of happiness as nights ]
haunts the footsteps of day, and
death is the dim shadow that
glides inseparably and silently at
the heels of all life. What phi-
losophy shall we bring to our sup-
port in the presence of all this?
What estimate shall we place up-
on the life with all the sorrow in
it? What is the answer of faith?
Job rendered it thousands of
years ago. “Though he slay me,
yet will I trust him.”
An Explosion of Dynamite.
Batson, Texas, May 2.—Mr.
Milt Murphy, while out hunting
yesterday, met with a very pe-
culiar accident and miraculous
escape from death. A party of
several had gone out on a hunt-
ing trip, and were camped in
the edge of the Trinity, bottom,
near an old house. In a shed
near the old house there was
stored a quantity of dynamite.
In someway Mr. Murphy’s gun
was discharged and the concus-
sion exploded the dynamite. In
the explosion Mr. Murphy was
severely injured about the
breast, face and arm. His
clothes were torn into shreds,
his coat and shirt were blown
entirely away and his boots were
torn to pieces. There was not a
piece of the old shed left.
Mr. Murphy will recover, but
will be very badly disfigured.
