It in reported that the lid wiw on
Lavaca county Sunday, not ex-
cepting Shiner. We opine it was
light as a Panama.—Cfuero Record.
Speak to various thirsty Shiner
souls and you will opine differently.
It is related of one such, who came
to that city Sunday of last week
and found it shut "air-tight,” that
he asked of a bystander: "la
somebody dead or is the whole
town dead." Another one, trou-
bled with a deep thirst, also tried
various saloon doors, front and
back, but finding none open, asked
Joe Macha, a jolly saloomst, to put
him on to the best method of getting
a drink. Mr. Macha at once assum-
ed a most virtuous air and said he
knew nothing about such things, as
he was a preacher. There appears
to be a considerable sentiment in
that town in favor of the Sunday
closing, even among the saloon men
and it appears that the "lid'! is on
to stay.
Edison's Retirement.
t
U
At one less than three score
.-years, Thomas A. Edison, Wizard
of Menlo Park, retires from active
work. He says he proposes to de-
vote the rest of his life to play.
But, as his play is to be with elec-
tricity, it is possible that some of
the toys he makes to amuse him-
self with will prove useful to the
world.
Since the age of fourteen this
wonderful man has been experi-
menting with electricity, the most
wonderful force of the modern
world. No scientist knows what it
is. Yet we read by it, ride by it.
and use it in many ways in many
machines, some of the most remark-
able of which were invented by the
great American inventor. His
name is connected with the electric
light, the telephone, sod the storage
battery, the talking machine, cer-
tainly the greatest electrical inven
tions of the world.
Doubtless in his playtime our
Twentieth century4 necromancer
will perfect that indestructible
storage battery that will make
autos as cheap as buggies. He is
capable of inventing a flying
machine that will keep on flying
Whatever he succeeds in accom-
plishing in the remainder of his un-
surpassed life of achievement will be
because of love of his work and of
his fellow men, whom he serves, for
his inventions have made him rich.
The bane of our time is its mater-
ialism. The tendency in our age of
science, development, industry,
and wealth is to consider only prac-
tical thingB, machinery and money.
But in our illustrious fellow Ameri-
can, Mr. Thomas A. Edison, we
have a great utilitarian, a master
scientist, whose life and work,
rightly considered, is of spiritual
help and a patriotic example. Mr.
Edison, in his long vigils and cease-
less experimenting, until out of a
wearisome series of failures he has
plucked one success after another,
has worked not for reward alone,
. but mainly for the sake of the
work, and his tellow men whom he
has hoped to benefit by it. He
has worked his miracles by faith
and love, faith in his divinely made
and inspired brain, and love of his
country men and brother men in all
quarters of the world.—Houston
Chronicle.
