lies before you, showing where you
stooped to folly all too often, hfsirf
faith with yourself, your feUowmau

practiced hypocrisy with the public,
broke vows with the queen of your

caused yourself to believe that which

lies before you peruse it carefully and
after making all the corrections, don't
trust to anyone to make all the

of the printing office and proceed to

of your own life as you found them in
the proof.—Dock Lively in the Lufkin

EXHIBITED HOOP 8NAKE.
T. G. Gross was exhibiting a large
hoop snake in town Saturday that he
plowed up on his farm three miles east
of town. The reptile measured five
feet two inches in length and with it
when showed up were forty-five eggs
and a small snake. Mr. Gross's at-
traction excited quite a lively interest,
there being some who were unfamiliar
with this species but who had hear.1
and read about its peculiar means of
locomotion but were more or less skep-
tical. Their curiosity was not satis
tied in this instance because when
brought in the snake was dead.—Mt.

iOUNG,- The Lumbey§|i,|
BEFRIENDING THE MOR8E.
in the Westminister Presbyterian
ciiirrcb of Minneapolis by Dr. Norman
Bridge, of Loe Angeles, on the sub-
; ect, "Am I really My Brother's Keep-
er?” the physician-lecturer made an
unusually aide plea for the safeguard-
ing of the altar and the consequent
benefit and happiness of the human
race.
Dr. Bridge particularly referred to
the necessity for practical engen-
cs governing: the selection of marri-
age mates. After telling of the hor-
rors that result from the marriage,
of men tainted by loathsome dis-
eases, he advocated the insistence by
the parents of bridea-to-be upon
medical examinations of candidates
lor their daughters hands.
Such examination, says Dr. Bridge,
should be submitted to voluntarily by
every right-thinking young man who
contemplates -matrimony. The exam-
ining physician in every case where
obstacles in the way of remnants of
diseases are discovered, should, un
less the prospective groom does so
himself, acquaint the family of the
girl with the facts.
Incidentally Dr. Bridge advocates
the teaching of sex hygiene by prop-
erly qualified physician-teachers at
the public expense, In order that the
young girls of the Nation may com-
prehend why their happiness may
seem so ruthlessly wrecked in cases
in which there is a discovery of com-
munica table disease which would
make for wretchedness in marriage.
Dr. Bridge has no patience with
the false modesty which would shield
young girls from knowledge of every-
thing unpleasant. He conceives
knowledge as an indispensable foun-
dation or real purity, and, in a phrase
which is worthy of place alongside
the most famous epigrams of all time,
thus denominates prudery:
“Prudery is a social habit by which
we try to identify ignorance as inno-
cence.” /
Certainly, in default of laws which
will teach a better custom than the
one now prevailing, the medical pro-
fession can do much to aid humanity.
If parents take the advice of Dr.
Bridge and if physicians act as he
thinks they should, and as the Amer-
ican Medical Association, in its code
of ethics, suggests, there should be
considerable betterment of conditions.

sibility of enacting a law limiting the
number of hours for horses to work.
It is to be feared that this is not
quite the way to aid the horse, which
Is almost invariably faithful to its
master, but which in too many cases
is given scant consideration. It
would be impossible- for the Kansas
City authorities to keep an eye on all
owners of horses with a view to the
enforcement of the proposed law.
Nevertheless, such law on ( the
statute books might help greatly in
occasional instances in which partic-
ularly cruel treatment of horses came
to light
However, there is a gratifying indi-
cation to be found in the Kansas City
idea. Evidently the Kaw City has
awakened to the fact that there is al-
together too much cruelty to horses.
The discovery of the realization is the
main thing. When it is commonly un-
derstood that the horse needs be-
friending, methods will be discovered.
If one plan fails to work, others will
be adopted until the right one is
found.—St. Louis Times.
TEXA8 AND KENTUCKY TOO.
Colonel Henry Watterson declares
that the people of New York are in-
capable of self-government. William
Sulzer Is not the people of New York.
If the people of New York are incapa-
ble of self-government, then the peo-
ple of Kentucky are in the same boat.
Caleb Powers is a Kentuckian. He
was given a life sentence for the as-
sassination of a noted governor of
that state. He wore stripes for ten
years. He was pardoned by a repub-
lican governor and then the people of
his district elected the ex-convict to a
seat in the American congress. Freaks
come to the surface in all American
commonwealths. Texas has produced
them as well as Kentucky and New
York.—Fort Worth Record.
he had been7 living in a small, misera-
ble room,- supported wholly by his two
daughters, aged 11 and 15, who sold
perfumery. A 13-year-old boy is in the
juvenile asylum.
Now, broken hearted and disgraced,
the once rich man lies in prison, sep-
arated from his children, and charged
with violating a city ordinance.
It is a pathetic but significant re-
buke to the Insolence of wfplth.
People are apt to entertain the idea
that if they can only get rich they are
fixed for this world, if not for the next.
Usually a man who loves money well
enough to accumulate a big fortune
loves it well enough to cling to it. But
not always, as this case and many an-
other testify. Money is a nice thing
to have, but it is not a safe thing to
fasten one’s life ambition upon or to
pin all of one’s hopes to.—Memphis

PATHETIC REBUKE TO THE INSO-
LENCE OF WEALTH.
People may find it hard to believe,
when surrounded with every luxury,
that the money in the bank may some
day suddenly melt away like a snow
drift in the spring sun. But it hap-
pens sometimes. And poverty is most
unkind to those who have once known
opulence.
