Joe Taylor of the, Dallas News has
Just heard that there is such a thing
as a bath robe,-and'he knows nothing

First of all he must
understand that there is in this coun-

In either gowns of pajamas. When
one o fthese fops enters his bathroom
he carries with him nothing but his
fancy robe. After he has scrubbed
himself thoroughly, removing all -diet
except that just above the heel, he’
puts on hi* hath robe and sits around
the house Tong Enough to catch cold.
Then he removes" his lovely robe,

TIPS CUT OUT IN TENNESSEE.
Tips can no longer be given or re-
ceived in Tennessee and the traveling
men of the State are jubilant.
The bill as passed by the Legisla-
ture specifically names restaurants,
cafes, hotels, barber shops, railroad
companies and Pullman companies as
places where no .tips are given or re-
ceived.' Th£ law 'provides a fine of
from $10 to $50 for the agent or
manager of the company whose em-
ploye receives a tip, for every tip giv-
en. It also provides a penalty for the
1 one accepting the tip and- that all
hotels, cafes, railroads, etc.r must post
notices telling of the law and warning
against the giving of tips. Every day
that passes witn no such notice post-
ed subjects the proprietor to a fine
or flOO. The law also provides that

jurisdiction shall . charge the .grand
jury at the opening of every, .session

PRAI8E OF 8PARERIBS.
In the domestic department of a
newspaper we find a recipe for stuffed
spareribs. We didn’t read it. Any-
body who thinks he can improve spare-
ribs by stuffing them is mentally‘de-
ranged.
Spareribs are perfect in their own
right. The idea of putting anything in
them to improve the taste is'on a level
with painting the lily. In every great
food there is a far away indefinite
taste as dreamful and divine as the
nectar of heaven that the soul sips at.
The sparerib has it and the man or
woman who monkeys with that inef-
fable savor should be sentenced to a
diet on hash.
A sparerib is in a class by itself,
and is endowed by nature with a de-
light of its own. It can not be improv-
ed. It is sacrilege to doubt its excel-
lence or to question its pre-eminence.

WILL YOU BE MISSED?
Some of these days, you, who rfrfe
reading this editorial, are going to
die and pass on to your reward—what-
ever that reward may be.
But will you leave a void behind?
Will you be missed?
The Creator has ordained that man
must carve out his own career in this
world, and when he journeys to the
great unknown he leaves behind him
a record founded upon his own acts.
You may leave behind you a wife,
or children, or other dependents. As
you deal by them in life, so will their
grief be gauged and tempered at your
death.
Will they miss you?
In this town you have friends, and
business associates, and perhaps
many other acquaintances. They
know you as you are, as you have been
for these many years. They have
judged you living and they will judge
you dead. i.
In the banks, and the stores, and
the offices, and out upon the farms
and ranches are people who have
known you in the past and -who know
you today. As you have been, so are
you known to them now.
Will they miss you?
In the house of darkened windows,
where sweet-toned music soothes the
tired brain and the minister tells of
the ways of a better life, are many
people who know you for your acts
and your deeds, for that which you
have performed or have left undone.
Will they miss you?
In our homes are many little chil-
dren who know you, who have passed
you on the streets, who, perchance,
may have been greeted with a kindly
smile or with a frown. They will re-
member you.
But will they miss you?
Even your faithful animals or pets
know you as you are and as you have
been to them.
Will they miss you?
There is no place you may go, no
point of the compass to which you may
turn, but what people have known you
or will know you, and hy all of these
you will .be judged -when you have
passed away. .. . • '»'•
As you shape your career in life, so
do you write :the record by which you
will be known after death.
Your family, your associates, your
acquaintances, even your dumb brutes
will remember you after you have
phased on.
But will you be missedf—KerrviHA

CRACKS AT THE CROWD.
In ttta Blatter of cldthes the boy of
today is far less fortunate than was
the boy of twenty or thirty years ago.
We always feel sorry for one of our
li.ttj£Yellows when he gets a new suit
or a new shirt. When such articles
are needed they are ordered from the
store and the youngster is happy for
only a few minutes after they are un-
wrapped . When we were a boy we
were happy as a lark from the time
the red jeans, black thread and brass
buttons arrived until the suit was fin-
ished and ready to be worn on extra-
ordinary occasions. Of course we
were impatient from the time the
garment was cut out but this impati-
ence did not keep us from being hap-
py. From a chair at the rear of the
sewing machine we superintended the
making of our suit. We had to be on
guard to be sure the finished product
would contain the proper number of
pockets.. We feared jhat unless there
was not the full number of inside and
outside pockets in the coat, some one
might detect that it was not store
bought. And, the breeches must have
top pockets, hip pockets, and a watch
pocket. If the watch-pocket had been
left out we would have taken no pride
in our pants. When our suit was in
the making there was no trouble about
getting us to look after younger chil-
dren. We were kind to them, and did
everything in our power to keep them
from interfering with the sewing. It
was a happy moment when we re-
ceived the glad news that the suit
was ready to try on. This meant that
the dear old jeans were getting into
shape where it was almost ready to
appear at a play party. But there
was a dark side to all this joy. When
evening came it was necessary to
stop all the sewing and we had to go
to bed with our clothes unfinished.
We.-gladly would have sat there . all
night and. watched the < .work, but
others didn’t-seem to realize how im-
portant it was-to finish the suit with-,
put a moments delay. When the gar-
ments were ready—the last button
sewed on and the last ; buttonhole
worked—we-got-into them, brushed
ar hair and were ready to be ad-
mired. Two members assured us that
no^oue could tell our clothes from
t&e kind sold at the store, but eight
brotheiy - and sisters snickered.—:
Claude Callan in Star-Telegram.
“WHAT 8HALL I DO WITH JESUS?”
Jesus stood helpless and entirely
dependent upon the caprice of the
people. Pilate asks them what he
shall do with Jeaus. He created all
things in heaven and' earth and could
call legions of angels to compel, and
yet he neither appeals to force nor
compels by physical power. As to
what Pilate shall do and as to the at-
titude of the unworthy mob is left to
-individual decision. Because power
had been given of God, how It was
abused by both Pilate and the people!
Beastly hate in the breasts of the ig-
norant mob caused them to demand
the crucifixion of Jesus and arrant
cowardice and supreme selfishness
caused the governor to obey. We are
not concerned ip this paragraph with
what the mob of Pilate did with Jesus,
only so far as it throws light on our
acts in relation to Him. Pilate made
the question a personal one—“What
shall I do with Jesus?”—and that is
the way each one of us must make it.
In .matters pertaining to
‘What shall I do with Je3us?”
matters of business, in my amuse-
ments, in my home life and in the
Church the same is the supreme ques-
tion. Shall I make Him a myth, a
historical good man, a philosopher, a
giver of a system of religion which I,
after a manner, accept or shall I make
Him my personal and Supreme Lord
in all things? If I make Him my per-
sonal Savior and Supreme Lord, it
settles every other question for then
in all things I have but to find His
will and do it; there is no other option
left me. When the church and religi-
ous people are converted and really
come to believe in and yield to the
Lordship of Jesus, every other great
question of life will be solved. When
I have settled the question as to what
I shall do with Jesus, it will change its
form and be, “What will Jesus have
me do?” This will be true of talent,
time, money, influence, service and
life- The preacher will not be com-
pelled to beg for a little time or talent,
money or service or life for the Mas-
ter, but each one will only have to be
shown how and where he can serve

DALLAS BREWERY SETTLES
Attorney General Looney and his
corps of able assistants effected terms
of settlement with the Dallas Brewery
Friday afternoon, the defendant Brew-
ery agreeing to pay a fine of $5,000,
pay all costs of suit, forfeit their char-
ter and have the officers and trustees
enjoined from contributing to cam-
paign funds.
The settlement Is identically in line
with the settlement effected in the
other six Brewery cases, in every par-
ticular except the size of the fine, and
the specific denial by the defendant
Brewery of any liability under the
anti-trust laws. The absence of evi-
dence proving any violation of the
anti trust laws, lessened the cash
penalty exacted.
This wipes the State’s calendar on
the Brewery suits perfectly clean, and
brings the total amount In fines to be
colletced by the State up to $281,000,
this amount to be paid in cash within
the next ten days.
Dalles, Teczaa.—About one year ago
Dallas Inventor,' John ’ Moody, who
lpka made Dallas his home for the pact
< »n years in connection, with the Dal-<
ton Adding- Machine Company, sent to
e British government, through their
baas&dor at Washington, his idea
an improvement for a rapid fire
gim. Within a short time he received
l .
a > reply from Lord Kitchener through
Mayor Colson, chief of ordinance: that
hjs improvements would be tested.
A few days ago the inventor receiv-
[ a letter from British authorities
.ying that his improvement . had
proved satisfactory and stating their
method of remuneration to inventors.
Mr. Moody has sold his invention to
t$at government.
,;The gun Is a rapid fire air cool ma-
chine, weighing eighteen pounds, which
can be used by one man. The great-
est advantage of the rifle is that it
can be fed by one man and fired from
the shoulder. The fact that one. man
can fire the gun gives it & side sweep
Which other machines operated by
two or more men lack, being capable
qf only an up-and-down motion., Then
the rifle automatically cools itself.
Other machine guns have to be hand-
led with asbestos and cooled every
twelve hundred shots.
THE SERMON HIT HIM
% ! - -9*
fA colored preached was vehement-
ly denouncing the sins of his congre-
1 55-
gation. “Bredern an’jsistem,' Ah warns
yo’ ’gainst de heinous sin ob shootin’
craps! Ah charges yo’ 'gainst de black
rascality ob liftin’ pullets. But abov’ all
else, bredern an' sistern, Ah demolish-
es yo’ ’gainst de crime ob melon steal-
in’.”
A brother in a back seat made an
odd sound with his lips, rose and
snapped his fingers. Then he sat
down again with an abashed look.
“Whuffo, mah fren’,” said the par-
son sternly, “does yo’ rar up an’ snap
yo’ flngahs when Ah speaks ob melon
stealin’?”
“Yo' jes remin’s me, pahson,” the
man in the back seat answered meek-
ly, “wha Ah lef mah knife.”

Nugent Fitzgerald, is generally
rfet aft ih^ 'Steeper ■■of the Record,'*
but, being human, he sometimes errs:
in a' recent-fssue of the Fort Worth
Record, Hugh-Nugent says: - • “Friends
o! Carmack paid off old scores. Mc4*^
Keller iron the Senatorial toga in the
old -Volunteer State.” It was not the
“friends of Carmack” who defeated
Ham Patterson, but rather Patterson
himself. As long as Patterson remain-
ed true to the principles for which he
had always contended, his friends
stood bjr hite and elected him to of-
fice. When he deserted his friends
and principles of a lifetime, -however,
and went over to the enemy body and
soul and tried -to capitalize his Sud-
denly-acquired Prohibitionism, his old
enemiee failed to fall for his- sudddea
‘ conversion” while his old * friends
turned from him in disgust. In poli-
tics a man sometimes succeeds by
“going back” on his crowd but his suc-
cess will be only temporary at most.

Frank Putnam, a well known news-
paper, writer who poses as a political
forecaster, says a Western Republican
will defeat President Wilson this year,
that Culberson will withdraw from
the race fof UfS. Senate, that Brooks
and Colquitt will be In the run-off for
United States Senator and that Col-
quitt will beat Brooks in the second
primary. Putnam says he predicted
the retirement of Senator Bailey, the
defeat of statewide prohibition, the
nomination of President Wilson, and
the election of Colquitt and Ferguson.
These correct guesses, he claims, en-
title him to a place at the head of the
list of political forecasters, and it
must be admitted that he has guess-
ed well in many instances. However,
when it comes to guessing at the re-
sult of an election or the price of
cotton, we attach as much importance
to the predictions of the man who
never saw a politican or a bale of cot-
ton as to those of the trained cotton
dealer or the seasoned politician.—
