Is rr not fact that all the cures for norbid worry, bilious irritability and wayward peltisliness are founded on neglected lighter and brighter side at life? It ia only stupid bovine sullenness that can resist sunny smiles for loa'jr. Well-regulated mlrthfulness, dealt out as it is able to be borne, will find a way ia time to the heart of any man he is an unsouled loul.

Carter, residing with his family at 115 East Gandy street, shot and instaptly killed a young railroad man by the name of Thomas Ash, supposing him to be a burglar. Ash hud been boarding anci rooming at an adjoining building and it ie supposed that whi'e in a state ol intoxication he mistook the residence of Mr. Carter for that of his boarding house. Mr. Carter was awakened by his wife, who told him to get up, as there burglar, in the house.

After securing a pisiol he went out through the ball into the back yard and, looking through the kitchen window, saw a man with a lantern standing by a table. He called on him to surrender but, receiving no response, fired. The ball took effect in the forehead, producing instant death. The man sank down on the floor against a table, in which position he remained until tho arrival of the officers. 1 Mocn of tho blame of broken confi.

i THEEE is a certain indefinite per, centage of convicts who wish to reform. Of these there is a much smaller percentage who can and do overcome all difficulties and reform with, no other help than that of their own experience of the suffering from persistence in evil courses. There are oth- cra, and these are perhaps the Itp at all, to reform and who will do they are favored by ciroum- Finding circumstances against them, they fail. There is still another clau and by no means a small one, In whom the wish to reform is entertained, but is not persistent even under favorable circumstances. WHAT does persist in one class of who wish to reform ia the and lack of self-control that Bent them to prison originally.

They are no worse, perhaps, on their release than many who will never go violate the criminal code as to be imprisoned, but their self-indulgence will lead them to repeat their acta of lawlessness. There yet another and a rery email class who commit crime for crime's Rake. These only are the really "hardened criminali," They are in the last stages of moral idiocy, and the only thing that can be done for them ii to lock them up where ttiejr can do the least harm to themselves and others.

HOUSTON, Jan. Wells- Fargo express office at the Grand Central depot was robbed Tuesday night of a sura that has been variously reported at from $5000 to $12,000. The exact amount cannot be ascertained, because the officials of the company will not say, nor will they allow the employes to state, but it is safe to say that it is close to $10,000. The night clerk in charge of the office had received the sums of money from the incoming messenger that evening, and had it in the office when he closed the safe, but it seems failed to lock it and stopped out for a moment on some business. During his absence some one stepped in and got several packages, which have been found out indirectly to contain the amount named above.

Detectives were at once put to work on the case, but no arrests have been made so far. An Kyc Blown Out. DALLAS, Jan. about 3 p. C- O.

his descendants being all superb spcci- Thcsc nogroos inens of humanity. Knowing of their accomplishments and being much given to flattering each other, they became vary haughty and arrogant. As a punishment for their bigotry the Great Father warnsd the father of the tribes in a dream that a deluge would bo sent to drown them from oH the faco of the earth. In the dream which forewarned the father of the tribes of tho great'calamity inpend. ing there was presented to his Tisioc- ary view the form and outlines of a rath which was to be used in saving a remnant of his bigoted people.

Finally this rudely constructed ark grounded, and the man and hie family and the beasts were again permitted to press tho face of tho earth with their feet But a great and lasting crlarnity had overtaken tho animals. For their murmurs against the man while on the water they were deprived of their power of speech, and have remained dumb from that day.
