What nobler profession can
there be than that of passing on
to younger human beings the
best there is in us? It is a rather
strange contradiction that while
education is highly valued in our
country, teaching on the whole
has less honor than it deserves.
“It is a pity, that commonly,
more care is had, yea that among
very wise men, to find out rather
a cunning man for their horse
than a cunning man for their
children.” We do not pay our
teachers enough for our own
own good, since a liberal salary
attracts talent not only in itself
but because it is a symbol of suc-
cess. Half a million Americans
are now engaged in doing what
they can with 20,000,000 younger
minds. Surely no half million
Americans are employed in a
more important work. “Teach
self-denial” said Walter Scott
(and something might be said of
other virtues) “and make its
practice pleasurable and you
create for the world fa destiny
more sublime than eyer issued
from the brain of the wildest
dreamer.” Teach anything that
is good, and you touch the
depths. The ablest and truest
men and women are required,—
those who know life and are not
pedants, not machines with
notions of suggestion no higher
than the ferule and the copy
book. By formal and uninspired
instruction, children, to borrow
the rich vocabulary of Milton are
“mocked and deluded with - rag -
ged notions and babblements,
while they expected worthy and
delightful knowledge.” The
teacher works with living minds
and hearts and souls. On no
man oh woman rests a higher or
more inspiring
Weekly.
The Pivotai Points.
The Pivotal points of our lives
are not the great events that
have cast their shadows before
and to which swe come conscious
of their impartance, but the little
things that seemingly come ac-
cidentally and turn the course
from what it would have been to
what it has been and to what it
may be perhaps forever. We
hurry to the train to carry out
plans long considered and to lo-
cate in a distant country, we are
delayed and the, train is gone and
before another, unforseen cir-
cumstances cause us to go in
another direction, and the whole
of after life has been shaped by
this Jjfew minutes delay. Plans
are formed for conjugal happi-
ness in present pleasant sur-
roundings, but at the corner of
the street a personality is met
and the plans and anticipations
go to the winds, and life’s course
changes forever. Some lives lie
in the shoal, others are on the
high waves, one person is given
credit for wisdom and another is
condemned as having little mind,
but after all there may be a des-
tiny that shapes our ends, rough
hew them as we may.—Ex.
Joe J, Smith of Halletsville,
Texas, has just accepted a posi-
tion as ginner for Mrs. Barnes.
Mr. Smith is a man of 25 years
experience and is thoroughly ac-
quainted with every phase of the
business and will do the work in
the best ^possible manner. Mrs.
Barnes invites the patronage of
the cotton raisers of this section
and guarantees them perfect sat-
isfaction. d!9 w51

Z, CL Maxwell & Sons have
canned 550 cases of tomatoes and
have 50,more cases ‘to put up.
This means 14,400 cans. Mr,
Maxwell was in town Wednesday
just after the frost and said they
had 500 bushels of tomatoes in
the field but believed the vines
protected the fruit from injury.
Hon. G. S. Gray was in San
Saba again Wednesday. He
does not know exactly when he
will start moving to Laredo.

from Sam^Whiteley 90 cows and
calves at $8.50.
The S.8fei Saba valley will soon
have no pasture land—it will all
be in fkrms. The small farmer is
getting so presistent, the big
pastures are being cut into fifty
and one hundred acre tracts, and
that means a farm on each and a
further development of the coun-
try.
When slander is getting off his
legs, keep still. When trouble
is brewing, keep still. When
your feelings are hurt, keep still,
until you recover from your ex-
citement, at any rate. Things
look different through an unagi-
tated eye. In a commotion, once,
I wrote a letter and sent it, and
wished I had not. In my later
years I had another commotion,
and wrote a long letter. But
life had rubbed a little sense into
me, and I kept that letter in my
pocket against the day when I
could look it over without agita-
tion and without tears. I was
glad I did. Less and less it
seemed necessary to send it. I
was not sure it would do any
hurt, but in my doubtfulness I
learned reticence, and event-
ually it was destroyed. Time
works wonders. Wait until you
can speak calmly, and then you
will not need to speak maybe.
Silence is the most massive thing
conceivable, sometimes. It is
strength in very granduer.—Dr.
Burton.

Lose
Their
Moneys
By concealing it about their per-
son ; by stowing'it away in mugs,
jugs and jars; by sewing it up in
skirts and ticks; by tucking it
under the couches and carpets, in
cupboards and bureau drawers;
these are some of the ways by
which people lose their money,
and sometimes their lives.
