It Js bad enough to wound the feelings of a grown per-
son but It is outrageous to speak harshly to a child.
Jn the first place you wrong the child and In the next
place ho wll never foiget you for doing it. Some day
ho may have an opportunity to turn tho joko. Tho young

I)r Harpei's dying jirayor was "qod give )ne life after
death and gnint that r may be busy." The gicat man
asked for tho very host gift that the human mind can
conceive of. So few In this life live up to what tills
man asked to bo permitted after death.. Tho way to be
hnppy is to keep busy and the way to keep busy is to bo
happy nnd boosf and not knock. Tho sour cross hateful
man is good for nothing on tho face of the Lords green
earth.
Civic attractiveness was tho theme at most of the
churches of Ahilonq at tho oloven q'clock hour Sifnday
morning. Id is well that our people nre taking an inter-
est in tho towns welfmo along this line. If Ablleno 1b
mado beautiful as it can bo easily then people who are
Brcklng pleasant towns for permanent residences Will be
attracted to our city Ablleno the most attractive town

Tho man who makes a bill and pays it recluctlantly and
grumbles about it Is eithor a'vory mithoughtful man or

of good nianuors avUI mistreat a gentleman who has
shown him a courtesy. Good manners common sonso

Between tho street car track and tho vehicle because there
nre so many standing between tho track and tho curb.
1 am sorry to say that some business men actually feed
their delivery horses on the sidewalk. Nearly all or thorn
koop thoir wagons in front when most of thorn could bo
kept at tho side or roar. I think it should bo unlawful
for a team or auto to stand longer than n given number
of minutes (not hours) on Pino or Chestnut strcots for a
distance of two blocks from the railroad. Something
will surely Juivo to bo done when tho streets aro mado
narrower and it seonis to mo that now is tho proper
timo to inaugurato tho move. I am quite sure tho wide

The Reporter most heartltyagr0cs with every sugges-
tion mndo by tho writer above. M
Tho time lias como when wo must cease to make pub-
lic hitching plots of our two main business thoroughfares.
It is inconvenient unsanitary and unsightly. Sonio-i
whore among tho city laws in an ordinance which pre-l
scribes thp time a liorso shall bo allowed to stand mti n
rcl In one nl.we. but it has become lost in dust and cob
wobs. But it is eWdent that the old law even If it were
dusted ofr and put into full force and effect would not
meet tho present domands and the need of new oidl-
minees stilctlv enforced is apparent The Reporter will
have more to say along those linos hjit it is of the opin
ion that little agitation will no rcqmreu hi awitw mo
citizens of Abilene to the importance of tho suggestions
mado by a "Citizen and Well Wisher for Amiem'.

Hero's a shock from tho Austin Statesman; "In n liado
journal a few days ago was a small Item which ought to
bo brought to the attention of every woman in America
ir morolv recited" tho fact that in tho human hair market
thq prico per hundred pounds had suddenly slumped from
700 tn 4fiFn on account of floods and other disasters
in tho Orient. Thoso who aro unfamiliar with the human
hair trade might be at a loss to find tho connection be-
tween tho prico of false puffs ''rats" and- curls nnd
Mongolian fatalities but lit is plain enough whon it is
undnrntnod that much of tho hair now being worn by
whlto women tho world over comes from tho heads of
Chinese corpses."
