FRIENDS IN HEAVEN.
A brown-haired, blue-eyed wee one,
Grown weary and tired of piny,
Climbed up on my knee to ask me
In her simple, childish way:
“Have you any friends in heaven,
That you sometimes want to see?”
Can you guess how the question thrilled me
Like a minor melody? , *
I thought, as I sat in the twilight,
With the wee one on my knee,
Of my little blue-eyed ^baby
Whose summers numbered three;
She went from my arms to heaven
One springtime years ago,
And left in my heart that sorrow *
That only mothers know.
I thought how the baby’s father
Grew lonesome and longed to hold
Once more to his breast our baby
Witji hair ofy sunset gold.
And one summer eve he left me
To search for our baby of thrqe,
And I know full well He found her,
But he never came back to me.
Do I ever want to see them?
Oh ! child of the violet eyes,
My heart is gone on.before me
To the hills of Paradise.
Some day I shall feel their kisses
Drop balm on my weary heart,
Mine only, and mine forever, «
Though earth and heaven apart.
—St. Louis Glbbo-Democrat.

the young wife to blame?
We think the fnult is further
back. "Just as the twig is beut
the tree’s incliued,” but the twig
cannot bend itself, If it inclines
in the wrong direction the fault
must, bo in the hand which bends
it.
Every mother should teach her
daughter just as she would de
sire some other mother’s daugh
ter taught that is to become the
wife of her son. Give her, if you
can, a knowledge of music, an'd
other accomplishments within
your reach, but with them give a
practical knowledge of house
keeping. Let her own hands
knead the bread, make the but
ter, wash, iron and mend, make
beds and sweep, dress the chil
dren, prepare breakfast, dinner
and supper; and then you need
not be ashamed to give her to the
very best jn the land. She is fit
ted for life; she will succeed; and
if the future should find you
alone in the world her husband
will gladly welcome you to a
home which you taught your
daughter to make for him "The
dearest spot ou earth.”

Away From Home,
To a young man away from
home, friendless and forlorn in a
great city, the hours of peril are
those between sunset aud bed
time. The moon and stars see
more evil in a single hour than
the Sun in a whole day’s circuit.
The poet’s vision of evening are

ing images. It brings the wan-* derneath .' -Dear father, Ian
dies who is contemplating mat
rimony, with the advantages
which leap year gives her, waB
handed a testament by her fath
er, with the leaf turned down at
the following passage: "He
who givet.h in marriage doeth
well; but he who giveth not in
marriage ^oeth better.” She
immediately returned it with
derer to his home, the child to
its mother’s arms, and the ox to
this stall and weary laborer to
his rest. But to the tender
hearted youth who is thrown up
on the rocks of a pitiless city,
and stands. "homeless among a
a thousand homes,” the approach
of evening brings with it an ach
ing sense of loneliness and deso-
L lation, which comes down on the
spirit like darkness upon the
earth. In this mood his beet im
pulses become a snare to him,
and he is led estray because he is
social, affectionate, sympathetic,
and warm hearted. If there be
a young man thus circumstanced
who is a reader of this depart-
, ment, let us say to him that
books are the friends of the
friendless, and that a wisely se
lected library is the home of the
homeless. A taste for reading
will always carry you to converse
with those who will instruct you
by their wisdom, and charm you
by their wit, who soothe you
when fretted, refresh you when
weary, couneel you when per
plexed, and sympathize with you
at all times. In the middle ages

Home Accomplishments.
"Accomplishments.” We like
such sentiment, ai d we like, too
a spirit that dares speak out for
the right in this over-accomplish
ed age. A woman who fails in
her home fails in all. Home
woman’s realm, given into her
hands to regulate, govern and
beautify. If she fails here she
may look in vain for another
kingdom; for she has failed in
the only spot where she could
have ultimately succeeded. She
has laid down the jewels whi.ch
God gave her to brighten and
polish, and in their place finds
nothing but dust and ashes. It
is a conceded fact tl at there is
no evil without a remedy, and it
becomes us to inquire, where is
the evil and what is the cure?
A young girl loves devotedly.
She takes the sabred name of
wife, thoughtless of the responsi
bilities whioh her position in
volves. She marries with an
honest desire to make her home
a happy one, but not being clad
in (he armor of a well-drilled
housekeeper, she falls. Her .ac
complishments lose their power;
day by day she feels her utter
unfitness for her station; until at
Life’s Lessons.
Whoever has any observation
or experience in the matter, must
have noticed what a tedious op
eration learning to read almost
always is, and were it not for the
pliant mind of the child, it would
be far more so. The brightest
and easiest taught children will
draw their words, make pauses
where there are none, and blun
der in various ways before they
acquire the ability to repeat the
words they have learned to form
a sentence which has an intelli
gent meaning to them. Muoh
persevering plodding is required
after that, before they can get
the meaning of the story contain
ed in one short pgge.
Is not this true of the best of
us in learning to read the stern
lessons of life? Are we not all
dull scholars when we come to
interpret the meaning of the
hard discipline of sorrow and
care which falls to the lot of even
the most favored? Do we not
learn slowly, and often through
great tribulation, the solemn
teachings of life? And how
many fail to catch it at all, to
whom each day, and week, and
year of their lives means no more
than the disconnected words of
the blundering scholar means to
him. Happy are they who com
prehend the true meaning of the
chapter of life.
A World Without Mothers.
The court of the late Oscar II.,
of Sweden, was very democatic.
The king mingled there freely
with his subjects.
A delegation of ladies of the
kingdom who were calling upon
the king one day aired many
grievances as to domestic condi
tions in Sweden. Husbands were
selfish, children were unruly, ser
vants would not obey, the cost of
living was high, and so on. Final
ly one lady who knew the king,
said:
"If I had the making of things
in this world there’d be no house,
keeping.”
"Fortunately then, madame,”
said the king, with his brightest
smile, "you are not able to give
us a woild without mothers.”
Chairman S. G. McLendon, of
the Georgia railroud commission,
has gave out the following state
ment :
According to accident bulle
tin No. 20, just issued by the in
terstate commerce commission,
which covers the three mobtlis
ending December 31, 1007, it ap
pears .that the total number of
casualties was 20,458. Tho
number killed, including passen
gers and employees on duty, was
1,092, and the number injured
was 19,300. These figures, al
though smaller than for previous
periods, look appalling.
"But for the fact that the rail
road commission of Georgia last
fall instituted a most rigid sys
tem of track inspection and stim
ulated the railronds to unusual
care in tho safety of their road
beds, Georgia would have been
a very large 'contributor to this
list of kill ;d and injured. The
cost of the railroad commission
of Georgia is less than 1.J cent
per annum per capita to the peo
ple of Georgia. If the commis
sion succeeded in nothing beyond
guaranteeing safer tracks aud
thereby greater safety to life, its
cost to the people of Georgia is
insignificantly small. The man
who will grumble at paying li
cents a year, even if he gets
nothing but greater safety when
he travels, is one who counts the
cost to an absurd limit.”

We do not care to continue to woVry our
friends, those of them who are keeping gold hid
away at their homes. We do desire to to tell them
about one feature of this habit of concealing gold
about the bouse, that they perhaps do not know
about, and to warn them ot the consequeuces.
There is a probability of your house burning down.
A great many people think if the house burns down
on their bag, of gold that they cau sift the ashes
and get it again, and that the United States gov
ernment will make it good to them.
There was never a greater mistake good friend.
If you have gold or silver hid about your house
and the house burns down you may dig around in
the ashes end finally feet every piece of your mon
ey, but it will be almost absolutely worthless. If
it is not too badly melted and stuck together the
United States government will allow you 15 or 30
cents on the dollar. The reason we know this to
be true we have recently seen it 'tried. A party
brought in $12.^0 in dollars, halves and quarters
that had been picked from the ashes of a building
that had burned. The house was a small two room
house. The coins were disfigured aud some of
them stuck together. We sent them to Washing
ton and got back in return the sum of #4.00 and
some odd cents. In the letter of advice from the
government at Washington we were advised that
the same rule applies to.gold coin burned in a fire.
Under these circumstances friends, we say it
plainly but kindly, it is foolishness, absolute fool
ishness to keep gold or silver about your homes,
or paper money as to that matter, when you can
deposit it in the Bank of Dallas and draw 5^% on
it, and get it any time you may need it.

It's ttiagon Wisdom that prompts a farmer to
■elect a Weber Wagon. He knows that the 61 years
experience in wagon building which stands behind
every wagon is a guarantee that when he buys a
Weber he buys the highest quality. Sixty-one years
of wagon building have resulted in the Weber wagon
of today, which, for correct design, excellence of
material and conscientious construction, stands with
out a peer — King of all farm wagons.
