* Show me the woman who Borne- j for a time, become dissatisfied
times has supper at five o’clock j with home, and seek a life that
and sometimes not till eight; shall civc them the advantages
sometimes dinner at noon, and 1
sometimes no dinner at, all; some-
times having good bread and cake
and meat, und sometimes sour
bread and other things to match
—and 1 will show you one who
cannot raise a family of healthy
children, nor keep so herself.
The husband of such a woman
will, more than liKely, lament
that he ever married such a
“ne'er do well,” and generally
misery will be the outgrowth of
th^unstable management of a
foolish woman.
Sour or Sweet?
That’s the question, my broth
er, and it’s not a mean one, eith
er, for many of us had rather
take a dose of salts than walk
with your long-as-a-rail face,
Your dyspeptic brain, torpid
conscience and sour disposition
make you anything but agreeable
company. You are called a Chris
tian too. Well, maybe you are,
but the fact is not believed by
many on earth. Possibly you
may console yourself with the
thought that they know it ii
heaven. 1 doubt it.
Why go through the world al
ways in a fog? You dishearten
many, give others the blues, and
keep scores under clouds of doubt
and darkness. You make out that
the path of the just is not
shining light,” that the way is
one of gloom, hard and difficult.
The way of the transgressor is
hard, but surely not the path of
obedience in which you claim to
be walking.
Swing around, my brother, and
get your eye off of self, “Rejoice
evermore.” Give up your sour
ness; quitlooking like a grave
yard. Take the sunny side of
the street. Laugh ouce in a while
Get off your stilts and walk with
humble folks, cheer up tone up,
wake up and see if milk is not
better than vinegar, or in other
words, if it is not better to be
sweet thqp sour.
Don’t find all your “good p20-
ple” among the departed, bul
seek to discover a few among the
living. It will make you and the
world happier to get into this
habit.
A Model Home.
We often wonder why there
are no more homes that can safe
ly be spoken of as models. I
would seem as if those who pass
their lives in the country—whose
daily occupation brings them in
constant contact with the varied
beauty of field, and forest, moun
tain, and plain—who are con
stant witnessess of Nature’sgreat
mysteries—-.would, of necessity
be filled with noble thoughts
that their eyes would gather con
tinual delight from the beauties
about them; and^their whole
lives shape themselves in grand
er forms as a natural result of
their surroundings. Yet it is un
deniably true that in gathering
up riches for the future—which
after all they may never behold
they forget the claims of the
present, und allow their souls to
grow less instead of greater. So
it comes to pass that the children
going out of these houses, and
finding themselves, as they often
may, in refined and polite society
which they suppose they cannot
obtain in the.coui try. Is it not
folly to be so intent upon the
things which perish with the us
ing, as to forget higher aims? Is
it not an evil when parents allow
themselves to be so absorbed by
cares that they neglect to in
struct their children in the pro
prieties of every day day life, to
say nothing of the small sweet
courtesies, the little acts of grace
so fruitful of good? A brief no
tice of a Model Home points out
the effects of a better way.
The Boy and His Mother,
One of our young men asks us
the following question:
“What do you think of a young
lady while in the company of a
dude masher, remarking of an
old schoolmate of hers, that 'he
is a good boy, but tied to his old
mother’s apron strings, and is of
no good on earth.’ Will not the
boy come out ahead if he sup
ports and cares for the mother?”
Come out ahead? Well, of course
he will. A girl who would make
stysh a remark is not worthy to
blacken the shoes of a boy who
is kind to liiB old mother. Suoh
a girl has no more heart in her
than a turpi p, and is only fit—oh,
she isn’t fit for anything. She
ought to be taken across the knee
of her own mother until she
thinks it is about the middle of
August. The meanest men
the world are those who have alt
lowed themselves to drift away
from their mothers and forget all
about them. The best and brav
eat men in the world are those
who have never been so proud as
when doing something pleasant
for the kind old mother. The
most heartless th’ng in the world
is for a person tb make such are-
mark as that quoted above about
a young man who is proud of his
mother, and loves her so that a
tear in her eye is like a drop of
melted lead on his heart. The
young man who heard of such a
remark being made about his re
lations with his mother no doubt
felt that he had .rather not have
heard of the remark, but it is
lucky that he did, if he thought
he had any affection for that girl.
She would not have said it in his
hearing, which shows that she is
a hypocrite and a two-sided per-
If he married that girl he
would have a little hell of his
own. Such a girl would make a
man wish he had never seen any
woman except his own mother^
No matter how close the relation
between a mother and son, a day
is liable to come when the son
will find a girl that he will mar
ry, and though he may not think
less of his mother, he will not
have quite so much time to de
vote to her, but if he Jis such a
son as the one above mentioned,
there will never be a day but he
wall think of pomefhiflg that can
be done for his mother. His good
wife, if she is good, will join him
in' any thiug that can make the
mother who bore him happy.
And a day will come when the
mother will lay down her knit
ting, and take off her spectacles,
and her burden of life will be
laid down, and her last prayer
will be for the son who has been
joked by a fool girl for being tied
to her apron strings, and she will
close her eyes in death with the
feeling that of all God’s best
! gifts to 11 mother, a dutiful, lov-
lug son is the greatest. Thoso
sons who have followed the coun
sels of a loving mother, and who
have, perchance, followed the re
mains of that mother to the grave
and heard the cold clay rattle on
her last resting place, and who
have gone away from the scene
with hearts bowed and broken,
will never, in their choice of a
partner for life, take one who
has ever spoken unkindly of a
son whp is kind to his mother.
No boy need evrr be ashamed to
be called his mother’s boy, and
no person with a soul to save will
ever make trifling remarks ou so
sacred a matter as the love of a
son for a good mother.
Thinks It Saved his Lite.
I.oster M. Nelson, of Naples, Me.,
says In a recent letter: “I have used
Dr. King’s New Discovery many
years, for oougliB and colch, and I
think it saved my life. I have found
It a reliable remedy for throat and
lung complaints, and would no more
be without a bottle than I would be
without food.” For nearly 40 years
New Discovery has stood at the head
of throat and lung remodios. As a
preventive of pneumonia, and healer
of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold

An Important Interview.
One day a well-known politician
was enjoying a chat with a friend at
a London hotel, when a strange
young man came up and said:
“Can I see you for a moment, Mr.
Dash?”
“Certainly," answered Mr. Dash,
rising.
The young man led him across a
big room filled with people and seem
ed to have something important to
say to him. Arrived in a corner, the
stranger whispered in the politician's
ear:
“I am on the staff of an evening
paper and f should like you to tell
me what you think of the situation
in the east.”
Mr. Dash looked a little puzzled at
first, then lie said:
“Follow me.”
And leading the way, he walked
througli the reading-room, down
some steps Into the drawing room,
through a long passage Into the din
ing room, and drawing his visitor in
to the corner behind the hat-rack, lie
whispered:
“I really -don’t know anything
about it.”
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve Wins.
Tom Moore of Kural Route 1, Cocli
ran, Ga., writes: “I had a bad sore
come on the instep of my foot and
could find nothing that would heal if
until I applied Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve. Less than half of a 26c box
won tiie day for me by affecting a
perfect cure.” Hold under guaran

Good and Bad By Turns.
At the banquet given by the
business men, -liev. Dr. G. R.
Hudson told the following story,
which made a fcig hit: He said
two men, who had not met for
many years, but who had been
warm friends, were talking about
how things had been with them.
Each said he had had the usual
ups and downs, some good and
some bad.
“Well, I was married,” said
one.
“That’s good,’ 1 * said fhe other.
“Well, it wasn’t to good. The
woman was awfully mean.”
“That’sjbad,” commented his
friend.
“Well, it wasn’t so bad either.
She had a lot of money.”
“That was good,” again re
marked his friend.
“Well, it wasn't so good, ei
ther. I invested the money in
sheep and thev all laid down and
died.” ;
'That was bad.”
'Well, it wasn’t so bad, either,
I pulled off the wool and sold it
for more than the sheep were
worth.”
“That was good.”
“Well, it wasn’t so good, ei
ther. I put the money in a house
and one night the house burned
down.”
“That’s bad.” x
“Well, it wasn’t so bad. either.
The woman burned to death in
it.”
A woman wants her ne : ghbors
to think her husband is a good
man even if she knows he isn’t
A Great Family Medicine.
“It gives me pleasure to speak a
good word for Electric Bitters,"
writes Mr. Frank Conlan of No. 480
Houston, St., New York. “It’s
grand family mediclne for dyspepsia
and liver complications; while for
lame back and weak kidneys It can
not bo too highly recommended.’
Electric Bitters regulate the diges

No humbug claims have to he made for
Foley's lieney and Tar, the well known
remedy for coughs, colds and lung trou
bles Tiie fact that more bottles of Fo
ley’s Honey and Tar are usi d than any
other cough remedy is the best testimon
ial of its great merit. Why then risk tak

and is safe and sure. Coopers drug store.
The Heart-Makes The Wish;
Two little Indian boys, to whom
the missionary, going back and forth
across the plains on bis errands of
love, was a familiar figure, were talk
ing tiie other day as to what they
would like to bo and to do when they
were men. One exclaimed:
“I wish to lie a preacher. Then I’d
go and tell everybody all tiie good
things I know."
The other hesitated for a while
It seemod to him tiie very best wish
had been made. But suddenly Ills
face brightened, and Ids shrill llltle
voicerangoutwith auoteof triumph:
“I wish I could be a horse and
buggy; I’d carry the preacher to tell
tiie good tilings.”
Those who heard it didn’t laugh
They knew tiie earnestness of tiie
heart from which it had come—a
heart willing to'be anything or do
anything so that tiie “good things ’
might “go” to others. Willing to be
even the preacher’s horse and bug
gy if lie qpuldn’t be the preach

We do not care to continue to worry 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 house, that they perhaps do not know
about, and to warn them ot the consequences.
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 can sift the ashes
and get it again, and that the .United States gov
ernment will make it good to them. 1
There was never a greatqr mistake good friend.
If you have gold or silver hid about youy house
and the house burns down you may dig around in
the ashes and finally get 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 20
cents on the dollar. The reason we know this to
be true we have recently seen it tried. A party
brought in $12.50 in dollars, halves and quarters
that had betfn picked from the ashes of a building
that had burped. The house was a small two room
house. The coins were disfigured and 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 sav 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*4% on
it, and get it any time you may need it.

It's Wagon Wisdom that prompts a farmer to
select 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.
