Mother Growing Old, Yet Young.
Mother is growing old. I see the
marks of time in her whitened hair
and on her cheeks and brow. Already
has she passed three score years and
ten allotted to man. I know it, aud
yet I can not realize it. She seems to
me just the same fair, sweet mother
she smeemed when she used to tuck
me into bed at night and listen to my
childish evening prayer. To my eyes
her beauty has not grown less with
the flight of years and the fading of
the bloom of youth upon her cheeks
I have never come to the day when
I felt that I could do without her
counsel, her help, her encouragement
and her love. I feel the need of her
today more than I ever did before in
life. I am glad that I have lived long
enough to appreciate her mother love
while she is yet with me. My own
hair is beginning to turn gray, my own
child is grown to manhood, but still I
turn to mother as I can turn to nobody
else in the world.
“Mother is growing old. But old
only in the wisdom that age and ex-
perience have brouht; old only in fail-
ing sight and weakening strength of
limb and halting step. She is still
young. The seme gentle spirit that
moved her girlhood life guides her-
9onl today. The same undying love
lights her pathway day by day and
floods the way along which she goes
with wondrous beauty.
“Mother is growing old. Soon I
know, for her will come the Angel’s
call. Soon, I know, the voice that
sang lullabys to my baby ears, and
that still speaks lovingly to me, will
be hushed. Soon, I know, the body
that bore me and gave me life, that
has borne the burdens and felt the
pain for me, will be at ease at last. I
know not how near nor how far ‘twill
be, but this I do know: Though she
has lived to be ‘the last leaf on the
tree’, the sunlight of love still shines
in her face, and the glory of an undy-
ing faith makes her ever young. That
love will go with me through life,
whether my feet shall tread the gloom
of rayless valleys or climh the moun-
tain tops of life.
“Mother is growing old, but soon
the youth of immortality shall rest
upon her and make her still more
beautiful than she is. I shall never
think of her as being old.”—Bonham
News.
A party of old chums, some of them
married men and the others old bach-
elors, were telling old jokes on each
other. “About the best practical joke
ever pulled off in this town,” said C.
E. Kelly, “was perpetrated several
years ago. The Times tried at the
time to mix me up with it, but I want
to state that the young man in the
case is still unmarried. I will call him
George, though that is not his name.
One afternoon George called at the
home of a pretty and mischievous
young lady, of whom he was very
fond. In the parlor he tried to kiss
the young lady. She pretended she
would not stand for it, and threatened
to call her father if George persisted.
George did persist and got his kiss.
The young lady rushed out of the
room and ran into her father, who
was down the hall cleaning a new shot-
gun he had just bought. The young
lady had an inspiration. Chuckling
with glee, she said: “Papa, show
George your new gun.” Sure father
would show George the gun, and start-
ing for the parlor he called to his
daughter. ‘‘Is he in the parlor?”
That was all George heard. Stepping
quickly to the door and seeing father
coming down the hall with a shotgun
in his hand, George bolted. He clear-
ed the front yard fence, but left a
piece of his silk coat clinging to the
palings. For a month papa tried to
get close enough to George to ask him
what in the thunder was the matter.
But George was sore. The girl, who
had a very tender place in her heart
for George, tried to square things.
She explained that she had only asked
papa to show George his new gun.
But George did not propose to run
any risk of submitting his dignity and
nervous system to another such strain.
He quit visiting that girl.”—El Paso
Times.
Two killings took place seven miles
southwest of Sherman Tuesday morn-
ing, in which Will Tims shot and
killed Arthur Cordell, and then turned
the gun on' his own head, literally
shooting his brains out.

Might Have Been.
’Way out in the Sea,of Vain Regret
Lies the Island of Might Have Been.
It is walled about by the Cliffs of Re-
morse, ,
Which are lashed by the Waves of Sin.
We who live in this flowery world,
And have ever hope before,
Know not of those hearts in anguish
wrung
Who dwell there evermore;
Whose each sad smile tells a woefal
tale
In the empty search of the joys of life,
And woke from the dream in pain.
Not a murmur tells of to their poig-
nant grief,
Only a weary smile;
But they long to flit on the Wings of
Death
Away from the sunless Isle.
’Way out in the Se% of Vain Regret,
On the Island of Might Have Been,
That is walled about by’ the Cliffs of
Remorse
Which are lashed by the Waves of Sin.

Crazy Snake Captured.
Muskogee, Ok., March 30.—Crazy
Snake has been captured and is being
guarded at the Thompson farm, eighv
teen miles west of Ohecotah, accord-
ing to P. E. Heckman, a Muskogee
man who returned from Checotah to-
night. .
“Snake was captnred by a posse of
citizens and is being guarded,” said
Mr. Heckman. “The officers fearing
violence, are trying to keep Mg cap-
ture secret. The old chief surrender-
ed without a fight. He is badly
wounded in the hip. Seven prisoners
were brought into Ohecotah before I
left, and seventeen, guarded 'by offi-
cers, started overland to Eufanla.
Snake will be brought to Muskogee
tomorrow.”
Governor Campbell has appointed
Horace Chilton of Dallas to succeed
the late L. J. Storey as Railroad Com-
missioner. This was quite a surprise
to many who were watching and wait-
ing for the coveted plam.
John W. Gates expressed his opin-
ion that the removal of the duty on
iron ore will not seriously affect the
steel industry.

Your Eyes are Surely Worth More to You
than the Price of a Pair of Glasses.
If you value your eyes, have them properly fitted at once.
Delay, and your eyes may become so bad that no glasses will
help them; then you will regret it all the rest of your days.
That is true—every word of it. Do not trust traveling op-
ticians and spectacle peddlers to fit you with glasses. They
get your money—and you get experience. This we know, be-
cause it is told us by people that come to us for glasses after
having bought of the spectacle peddler.
We have the best lenses made, each lens being ground for
each eye defect. We will examine your eyes FREE if you
will come in. /
