The landlord used to come around
As regular a clock.
Upon the door we’d here him
pound —
Oh, ’tw&s a glad and joyful sound
To bear the landlord knock!
He knocked upon the entry-way,
He knocked upon the door;
He came around the first of May
And saw the poppies at their
pi»y,
• And then he knockeP some
more.
That landlord us to hand ns
knocks
Because we had a cat,
A bird, a rabbit in a box,
And half a hundred Plymouth
• Rocks—
What think you, now, of that?
But when he acted meanest yet
Was over Gwendolen;
When she was born, the little
pet,
He growled and said, "You
musn’t let
This thing occur again. ”
We have another landlord now
And he is different.
We’ve bought a parrot and a
cow—
He doesn’t holler, anyhow,
Or press us for the rent.
Now Gwendolen has sisters four
And she has brothers two;
They pound the walls and pound
the floor,
And still this landlord doesn’t
roar
Like that one used to do.
We've put that landlord mean to
rout,
And I will tell you how:
We have a a cottage farther out,
With vines and roses ’round
about,
And I’m the the landlord now.
—Prom the Lumberman.
Some men are born with ugly
faces, others acquire them.
Suppose you try going to Sun-
day School and church again
Sunday; it lias been several Sun-
days since some of you were out.
According to the way some
people talk, cotton was injured
half by the wet weather in the
spring, half by dry weather in
the summer, and half by the
boll weevil in the fall, which
prompts us to arise and ask“how
many halves are there to a cot-
ton crop anyway.”
The man who has made a fail-
ure in a crop, Is ready to swear
that the crop is a failure, and
a man who doesn’t advertise and
do a good business is also ready
to swear that business has all
gone to the dogs. Even the
man who sits on a goodsbox and
whittles white pine, growls about
poor business every time he
strikes a knot._
The Port Worth Star, a strong
whiskey paper, seems already to
are the shadows that coming
•vents oast before them. The
Star says:
"Of course there is no telling
just how many will squeeze in

mission, nor what sort of a gum-
shoe stampede will be made for
the ballot box next November. *’

NCLE MM’S JOI OFFICE.
The Times doesn’t believe that
it co'mes properly within .the
province of the national govern-
ment to enter into competition
with the printing offioes of
the country, and furnish en-
velopes to customers at cost.
It is not enough to say that it
gives the people cheaper enve-
lopes.
The government could, if it
wanted to, furnish the people
with cheaper hate aud shoes
than the merchant can* furnish.
But that is nob the governments
business; netbier should it be
the business of the government
to furnish stationery.
Besides knocking the printer
out of his just dues, it caste a
kind of odium ou him as to other
work, and he is often reminded
of the fact that Uncle Sam great-
ly underbids him on work, and
the idea obtains that, it would
be a good thing if the govern
ment would do all kinds of print-
ing, and the printer already as
poor a church mouse, is looked
upon as an extortioner of the
rankest sort.
Many people forget that a
printer has to make at least a
small profit, with which to buy
stock, pay rent, with living on
the side, while your uncle Sam
uel can feed at the peoples crib
and lunch at the pie counter, and
snap his lingers in the face of
profit.
E. W. KIRKPATRICK RECLIRES.
McKinney, Tex., Aug. 15.—It
appears that the Independence
League of Texas has duplicated
the honor and distinction confer-
red upon us by our Populist
friends by naming the writer as
candidate for Governor of Texas.
The expression of such partial-
ity and such confidenoe is not to
be lightly dismissed nor rudely
turned away. Notwithstanding,
we are hurled upon the necessity
of declining this nomination.
Having never affiliated with the
Independence League and not
being en rapport with its prin-
ciples, its practices or its leaders,
it would not seem entirely ap-
propriate for us to accept either
membership or leadership. Mod-
ern political methods are too
strenous for us.
We hope under Mr. Bryan’s
administration to see more unsul
lied integrity and more business
economy. It is beginning to be
well understood that all party
politics is-nothing except organ-
ized appetite conspiring for
spoils. We snpport Mr. Bryan,
hoping that he, like Roosevelt,
will try to uproot the tree of mod-
ern partyism.
E. W. KIRKPATRICK.
Referring to the above The
Times is glad indeed to note Mr.
Kirkpatrick’s declension of the
preferred honor. We have known
him long, and know him to be
one of Texas’ best and most use-
ful men. We were surprised to
see him named as standard bear-
er of that northern montebank,
Hearst, and his handful of fauat
ical followers, and glad to see
that he refuses to be used. The
democratic party, the party that
is to settle and does settle all
questions of importance in this
state, and Is really the arbiter of
the State’s fate, can ill afford, to
lose from her councils such men
as E. W. Kirkpatrick of McKin-
ney.
people than
irtb white.
Every one who meets nU
with a smile end e bee
handshake is s good person to
have in town.
So is every one who has some-
thing good to say about the town;
not neoesaarily a braggait, bob
by all moans not a pessimist.
Tha man who attends church
and Sunday School regularly Is
a good man to have in any city.
The man who leads the Wed-
nesday night prayer meeting,
with only two other men, four
women and three small boys, is
a born hero, and would charge
San Juan hill.
Every man that is truly glad
that he is living, makes others
glad that he is living.
The more a man loves his fol-
low-man, the greater a blessing
lie is to his town.
And even the meanest of men
always do at least one good tarn
for the town In which they live,
and that is to die and^et out of
the way.

" I have used Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy since it was first intro-
duced to the public in 1872, and
have never found one instance
where a cure was not speedily
effected by its use. I have been
a commercial traveler for eigh-
teen years, an never start out on
a trip without this, my faithful
riend,” says H. 8. Nichols of
Oakland, Ind. Ter. When a man
has used a remedy for thirty-
five years he knows its value
and is competent to speak of it.

FEOFIE WHO ARE WORTH WHILE.
Every man who builds a pret-

So is every man who builds
pretty sidewalks or has a pretty

When a young man calls a
young woman "dear” and she
doesn’t resent it, he should know
that the hunting season is over.
Sometimes in after life a wo
man wonders why she didn’t be
lleve the man she married when
he told her he was not worthy of
her.
I have often wondered what
enjoyment a nice girl got in kiss-
ing a young man who chewed to-
bacco and dosn’t wash his teeth.
When a boy begins to wash
his neck and ears without being
told to do so, you may depend improved in health,
upon it that he is in love for the
first time.
Evidently the flying machines
have not yet reached that acme

comend them to egg shippers.
When a young man begins to
hang around the grocery store
and ask what things cost, it is a
safe conclusion that some girl
is going to get married. ’

This would seem to be the ap-
