THE TWO PATHS.
Prom time immemorial, it has
been customary to speak of the
young, at a certain critical period
in life, being confronted with
two paths. One of these paths
is pictured as smooth, level, and
having on either side fragrant
lowers, sparkling streams and
sweet-throated songsters with
vari-colored wings. To many a
youth, the temptation to follow
that path is almost irresistable,
“but the end thereof is death.”
The other pathway is pictured
as being stony, infested with
thorns and thistles, and leading
thro’ sloughs of despondency, in-
to valleys of sorrow and oven
the rugged crags of difficulty,
but finally ending upon the moun-
tain top where a vision may be
caught of the Canaan land.
One of the most simple, and
yet, the most striking and force-
ful of such illustrations to be
found in literature, ancient- or
modern, sacred or profane, is
that given in the Memorabilia of
of Socrates, being a description
of the choice of Hercules. The
great philosopher quotes another
Greek in substance as follows:
“When Hercules was advanc-
ing toward the period when the
youn£ begin to give intimations
whether they will enter life by
the path of virtue or by that of
yice, be went forth to a solitary
place and sat down perplexed as
to which of these two paths. he
would persue. Two maidens ap-
peared before him. One in
gaudy attire, and with froward
manner said:‘Hercules,if you will
follow the path that I point out
you shall taste of every species
of pleasure, and lead a life free
from every sort of trouble.
Your whole time will be occupied
in considering what meat or
drink will please you, and what
will most delight you.’ Hercules
asked her name, and she replied:
‘My friends call me Happiness,
but those that hate me give me,
to my disparagement, the name
of Vice.’
“The other maiden, more re-
served in manner and more mod-
est in demeanor, said: “Hercules,
I shall not deceive you. The
path that I point out is full of
labors, full of troubles, full of
trials, full of difficulties, but it
is the path thnt leads to immor-
tality. If you seek to be beloved
by your friends, you must serve
your friends. If you desire to be
honored by any city, you must
benefit that city; if you wish to
be admired by all Greece for
your merit, you must endeavor
to be of service to all Greece.’
And her name was Virtue.”
The choice of Hercules is
knows to every student of his
life. _He chose the thorny, rug-
ged path pointed out by modest
Virtue. As a result, so many
marvelous things did he acheive
that his name has been heralded
down the ages, and bis glorious
deed»have upon them the seal of
immoftality.*
What was true in the days of
Hercules is true now. The same
paths stretch out before every
youth that comes into this world.
As the choice is, so will the life,
the character, the destiny be.
Choose the way pointed out by
the maiden. Happiness, who is
reallmVice, and life, for a time,
may seem to be “one, grand,
sweef song.” Pleasure may pour
at your feet her wealth of flow-
ers and golden fruit gathered from
the rich gardens of this world.
With her gay votaries you may
laugh and sing, engage in the
facinations of the dance, and
rich clusters of grapes. But
some day the flowers will fade.
The fruit, like that which grows
upon the banks Qf the Dead Sea,
will turn to ashes upon the lips.
All the facinating music of the
dance will, as if by magic, call
from the tombs Of the past
ghostly spectres to mock and
haunt you.
Upon the other hand, should
you choose the path pointed out
by the maiden, Virtue, you will
find, as she told you, that it “is
full of labors, full of trials, full
of difficulties.” But if you faith-
fully perform those labors, if you
undergo those trials, if you over-
come those difficulties, Success
will crown you with her fadeless
laurels. Yae, as the maiden,
Virtue, promised, the path, as in
the experience of Hercules, will
“lead to immortality.”
The first bale of cotton has
been picked in Texas and put
on the market. It was raised in
in Starr county. Quite appropri-
ate that it should have been
grown there, for by so doing,
that county “starred,” a> those
in the theatrical world would
say. It sold for 30c per pound,
and was shipped from Galveston
to some point in France. Here’s
hopin’ that Texas will have sev-
eral more bales of the fleecy sta-
ple for the markets of the world.
If the farmers get as much as
one-third of the above
amount per pound, they will
doubtless have enough “free sil-
ver” with which to pretty well
hold down one pocket in thei r
jeans.
A petition has been filed with
the Commissioners’ Court of
Grayson county asking that an
election be held to determine
whether or not the county shall
be wet or dry. The petition was
signed by 900’persons. On March
7, 1903, upon the face of the re-
turns held in that county, there
was a pro majority of 535. The
law, after a very exhaustive le-
gal fight, went into effect Janu-
uary, 17th, 1904. The election
petitioned for i» to determine in
which column, anti or pro, the
name of Grayson shall be placed
for ttoe next two years.

That negro rapist who was
sent up for 1001 years should be
watched pretty closely to see that
he does not outlive bis sentence

be pardoned—if he lives until
the expiration of that sentence.
Lawson, of “frenzied finafice”
fame, has accepted invitations to
address the people of Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and Minne-
sota this month. While in these
States, he will be the gues£ of
the respective governors. * We
would not be at all surprised if
he went on the lecture platform,
and if he does the people will
doubtless become so frenziedtbat
they’ll forget about the financial
phase of it and pay most any
price to hear him.
You should not forget the big
educational rally to be held in
Bonham July 10 and 11. At this
meeting, some of the most prom-
inent educators and finest speak-
ers to be found in the State will
be present, and an earnest effort
will be made to raise funds so as
to enable Carlton College to be
rplaced upon a more permanent
basis by selling it to the Chris-
tian church of Texas, and there-
by make it a part of the Texas
Christian University. Every one,
regardless of denominational af-
filiations, who is interested in
the great cause of education,
which really means the cause of
the elevation of ’ the human
specie, is cordially invited and
earnestly urged to be present.
Here is a story for which an
Oklahoma editor is responsible:
A Kansas farmer named Worman,
who lives close to Oklahoma line,
has a badger that he uses in dig-
ging post holes. How does he
get the badger to dig? That is
simple enough. You know the
badger is very fond of bugs. Mr.
Worman has a long iron rod with
a sharp point. When he wants a
hole dug he drives the iron rod
into the ground the depth he
wants the hole and then drops in
a bug. He then takes the bad-
ger to the hole and the arimal
never stops digging until he finds
that bug. The June bug or or-
dinary potato bug are the best.
Today, the glorious Fourth of
July, a red-letter day in the cal-
endar of American history, the
gubernatorial candidates are
making pyrotecnic speeches in
various portions of the State.
The fun is beginning early, and
the time promises to be quite
warm—even a fever heat—before
the end of the titanic contest
shall come. “Lay on; Macduff,
and damned be he who cries,
‘Hold, enough!’ ”
Texas will sell 6,000,0000 acres
of land after September 1. The
price of the land will be $1.00
per acre and up. with only 3 per

be allowed in which to pay for
it. If you think you would be
interested, write Hon. J. J. Ter-
rel, Land Commissioner, Austin,

/While it is true that Honey
Grove has been at a rather low
ebb for the past two years, we
believe that the town is just on
the eve of prosperity, and that
the day is not far distant when
she will advance rapidly in the
way of improvements and com-
mercial interests. The town has
held its own all through the busi-
ness depression, and has had
fewer failures than any other
town in North Texas, which
speaks volumes for her business
interests. With good prospects
for a new railroad within the
nexjt few months and a good crop
coming on, and indications for
good prices, there promises to be
something doing here shortly.
We’ve still got faith in the old
town.—Honey Grove Citizen.
That’s right. Make an honest
confession that you haven’t done
much and are not much ’count.
All at once you seem to have
been given the power so fervently
prayed for by Bobby Burns when
he said: “Oh!4wad some power

selves as others see us.”

The Quarter Century Edition
of the Kaufman Sun, which

It was printed on heavy book

on April 22, from which he has

there was an accident in which
he received a bad jar, which
caused a general break down of
his nervous system. His physi-
cian advised him to return to his
home in Poland, where he will
remain for some time before he
appears in public again. He sued
the road for $25,000 damage but
received only $7000, less than
what he usually received for one
night’s performace.
Of the 3890 convicts in the
state prisons, according to statis-

because newspaper men are so

The Bonham News cbmes out
in a two column editorial on the
right of a man to choose his son-
in-law. The next thing in order
is for him to explain why a man
should choose his wife’s second
husband. It will' work just
about as well.—Denton Record
and Chronicle.
The News took the position
that a man did not have a right
to absolutely dictate whom his
son-in-law should be, and we
stick to it. Yes, it would be
about as sensible as a man try-
ing to choose his wife’s second
husband, or trying to control the
tongue and temper of his mother-
in-law.

Crockett and the Mules.
Harper’s Weekly.
When Davy Crockett sat in the
national legislature as a repre-
sentative of the state of Texas
he had many clashes with men
of more education, but less wit
than himself. It is told of him
that one day while standing in'
front of his hotel on Pennsylvania
avenue, a drove of mules trotted
by under the custody of an over-
seer from one of the stock farms
in Virginia. A congressman from
Boston, who was standing near
by, attracted Crockett’s attention
to the unusual sight, saying:
“Hello there, Crockett; here’s a
lot of your constituents on parade.
Where are they going?”
The celebrated hunter looked
at the animals with a quizzical
glance, and then turning to the
other said quietly, but with great
emphasis. “They are going to
Massachusetts to teach school.”
