At no time since wa lft baro wa fait batter. Tbebeaw and thick weather ot Taxat did not aoit ot. It made as liok Many othera were affl ctei aa wa were. Oaa morning wa began a tramp of eeven eqoaree to the church aud the eon waa ahiniog beaotifollf. A lovelv day waa an ticipated. Era wa reached the chnroh theky waa overcast with lowering o oudi. In a few miu- ntee the wind blew roriooily aud tha rain fall in torrent. With greatly radoced temper tore the aan reeamed ita abining iu ao hoar. There it no foretelling what Texas baa in atora in tba mater of weather. We crawled into oar berth at Fort Worth at 10 p. m Friday night and in leaa than an hoar the lightning began to flub, the thunder roar, the wind to blow and rain poor. And we bowled along over northern Texaa and In- jdian Territory to Sooth McAleater at 5 a. m. in a whole night of ' wreatling with a atorm on the windward aide of the ooacb. In the weit one naturally con cludes that it is the people who hare little of tbia world'a gxda and know leaa how to aelect, make and don enoh tbinga aa they wear that do nearly all of the travel ling. The well to do aa it la writ ten and the better educated atay at home. Oar sympathies are evoked at the Bight of each ignor ance and poverty aa crowd tba traina Education ia in demand A great field lor philanthropy apreada out before the eye. How great the benefaction, ahoold sev eral of oar many multi-million-airea oombineand with munificent gift provide for their educational advancement. The leaaoua of econ omy which he at the base of mak ing provision for aelf-oom fort have not been learned. A more wasteful generation is rarely aeen. The forelookings that prompt economy in the present are absent. Life ia more like that of the hog that waits in idleness till the acorn falls. The name of Ex-Governor Bob Taylor, of Tennessee, appears in the papers often as a lecturer. He is in the field much of the time. It ia a paving business for him no doobt. Newspaper articles praise him highly. Good orowds greet him. We availed ourselves of the oDDortunitv to hear him in Das vilie. Arkansas, last week. It waa a disappointment. Perhapa we ex neoted too much. Bat there waa really almost nothing in his lec tare that was above the common olace. His statements of propo aitiona were looae. Maoh of what ha said waa not tree to life and maoh was strained to fit in con sistently with the soope of hit address. Hit word painting on whioh he evidently relies no little is overdone. It no doobt phases certain classes. The, more ignorant and the sophomoric enjoy it and apeak well of it. The beat parte of the leotare were the stanzas he aang here and there. He u bpyond doobt a musical spirit and has a voioe of pleasing qualities. 'In neither the management of bis roioe nor in his acting wis there any quality one might net expect to hear from hondreaa. And in it all there was no moral nph'ft whatever. Kecks Fell a rWe. tt;fcfa Cf. Swept y lt4 tad rtJ. The folloiog etoty appears to I vS a have recently een reiwrte of I Mount Olive. N.
