THE ROOSTER.
I wonder why the rooster throws
such fervor in his tooting. At dawn
he breaks up my repose and sends
sleep callyhooting. I lie and listen to
Ms noise, and wonder, While I’m wait
lag, what sort of wlerd ecstatic joys
the rooster’s celebrating. To me his
humble journey seems not worth prune
or( prism; what hope insipres him as
he screams? Why all his optomism?
Oh, I can understand a dog that howls
his hideous dirges through all the mid-
night murk and fog; like me, he just
insurges. He sees so much of ill and
wrong, so much ''bf woe and sorrow,
he must uplift Ms grewsome song,'
and hope he’ll dje tomorrow. I symr
pathies with those who howl, with all
things sad and brooding, the dog, the
raven and the owl, penned in a world
deluding. But, ah, I cannot under-
stand the rooster’s joyous carol, an
anthem in a sombre land that has
grief by the barrel! He lives in dark
and gloomy pens, where biddy clucks
and hatches, his life is spent with sil-
ly hens for whom he digs and scrat-
ches. To earn his harem’s daily
bread he’s busy as a weaver; and then
at last his silly head is whacked ofT
with a cleaver. The rooster should a
cavern seek, a hermit life pursuing;
why give a loud, triumphant shriek
when there is nothing doing?—Walt

the church. Nobody who knew him

WHEN FOREIGN AGENT8 GET
BUSY.
Every year when crops are in sight
the county Is overrun with agents who
o#tr for sale at a long price and “easy
terms" almost anything from a paper
of needles to a wagon. To their sor-
row, the “easy term” feature catches
many, for in a large majority of cases
the goods they bay are ready to go
to the junk pQe before the note is
paid. Not only that, but the notes
usually faB into the hands of a local
banker or speculator, who buys them
at a. big discount aim if the goods
bought fail to come up to the “com-
pany’s guarantee, they have no re-
course whatever. How much better
it would be for the credit and safety
of these people and how much more
interest they would show in the wel-
fare of the business people who lend
them every possible assistance year
in and year out, and who help to de-
velop the resources of the county and
support Its local government, if the
agents were ignored.
The local business man can supply
the prospective buyer with anything
he needs at a lower price than the for-
eigner and extend him a degree of
courtesy that will mean far more to
him (had jbe passing acquaintance of
an agent whom he will never see

August 30.—At 6 p. m. on the 26th
Inst:, the Death Angel entered the
home of W. W. and Effie Ewing, of this
place, and wafted the sonl of Little
Boyd Ewing from its earthly home to
mansions in the skies. After eleven
days of intense suffering, which, he
bore with the greatest patience fver
witnessed in a child of his tender |ge,
he succumbed to. that dreaded dis-

JUST AN ORDINARY KID.
It makes us “sore” to have so much
fuss made over the John Jacob Astor
baby. The intrinsic merit of that
baby ain’t one whit greater than a
million other babies, properly averag-
ed up; then why a lot .of these Ameri-
can people go crazy over a baby be-
cause he is unfortunate enough to heir
three million dollars. We never was
a hero worshipper. A lot of noise
like this makes us have mighty little
confidence in the equilibrium of the
American people.—Cleburne Review.

coiild, yet
which God giveth, in His own spod
time. He taketh it unto Himself again.
On the 27th at 4 p. m., the remains
of Little Boyd were followed by a
large crowd to the Christian church,
at this place. The funeral services
W®re ably conducted by Bro. Gough
of Commerce, Texas; then his little
body was laid to rest in the Peerless
Cemetery, until “that great day when
the trumpet shall sound and the grave
give up its dead.” ;
Boyd was two years, three months
and twelve days of age, yet he was
loved by all who knew him for his
sweet little ways and pleasant dispo-
sition. His pain was awful to wit-
ness all through his illness, yet he was
conscious, obedient, never refusing to
take his medicine or anything his de-
voted mother gave him. On the sec-
ond night of his illness he called for
all his loved ones and embraced-them;
It seemed as though he knew he would
soon leave them, and desired that
they stay by him during the short
time he remained on earth.
Wte extend our hearfelt sympathy
to the bereaved parents, little broth-
ers and “Cousin Louella. We know
the vacant chaff will ever be empty;
hte sweet kisses and loving embraces
of Little Boyd will never be forgot-
ten; yet. we would say, “Weep not
as those who have no hope, for we
believe in the existence of a living
Savior, and He said, ‘Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven.’” Oh! blessed promise,
that babes are the heirs of heaven.!
Little Boyd has gone to join the
little brother and sister who passed
on before, and three precious jewels
are waiting and watching at the pearly
portals of heaven with their little
hands outstretched to welcome papa,
mamma, brothers, and loved ones to
that celestial city of gold, when God
shall call them home.
“And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes, and there shall be no
more death; neither sorrow nor cry-
ing; neither shall there be any more
pain^ for the former things have
passed away.” COUSIN SALLIE.

Little James, while at a neighbor’s,
was given a piece of bread and butter,
and politely said, “Thank you.”
“That’s right, James,” said the lady;
“I like to hear little boys say ,Thank

“Well,” rejoined James, “if you want
to hear me say it again, you might put
some jam on it.”—Pittsburg Dispatch.
