Straw votes and straw hats are
in season. One is recommended
to keep the head cool, the other
usually has the opposite effect.
Honey Grove's houses are num-
bered now, and there is no ex-
cuse for any man with good eyes
being found at the wrong home.
The thing that puzzles most of
us is, how are we going to man-
age to fly high in fly time. A fi-
nancial aeroplane that will solve
this problem is eagerly awaited.
The price of olive oil has advanc-
ed. Be it remembered the price
of cotton seed was very much up
also last season. But why should
the price of cotton seed in Amer-
ica bother the price of olive oil in
Spain? __________
Only seven more weeks until
the nomination of a new Gover-
nor for Texas. It's sad to know
that so many of our good people,
including three of the candidates
for this high position, are to be
proved liars so Soon.
Dallas is to have a new hotel,
which ,will cost a million dollars
and stand twenty stories high.
This will be quite a high-priced
hostelry. However, we have
stopped at Dallas hotels a few
times and always found the price
high enough.
And now it is claimed that a
New York man was poisoned on
a glass of ice cream soda and died.
Some time since the same charge
was made against a glass of but-
termilk. Prove these delightful
beverages poison if you will, gen-
tlemen, but when you have done
so you have only made suicide
easy and a pleasure.
Dallas is now raising funds to
secure the removal of Southwes-
tern University from Georgetown
to that plac6. The Conferences
have as yet taken no action in
the matter, but the sentiment
seems to be growing in favor of
removal. In years gone by the
churches sought small towns, far
away from^the cities and their
many temptations, for their
schools, but a reaction has set up
and the schools are drifting back
to the larger cities. Only a few
weeks since it was decided to re-
move Texas Christian University
from Waco to Fort Worth.
The investigation into the high
prices of living has revealed some
things that furnish much food
for study and have a strong ten-
dency to drive the average citi-
zen to profanity. For instance,
the committee has ascertained
that the average price of coffee
laid down in New York i§ 7\
cents per pound. The cost of
roasting and preparing for mar-
ket is 2 cents per pound. The
coffee is then sold to consumers
at 25 cents p^T pound. Study
the profits a little and you will
cease to wonder why there are a
few billionaires and many mil-
lions wrestling to meet overdue
grocery bills in this country.
A movement was inaugurated
at Dallas a few days since to
have the question of submitting a
prohibition amendment to the
constitution resubmitted to the
people. The leaders say this ac-
tion was taken because some of
the antis contend that the vote
of two years ago will not bind
the incoming Legislature. It
seems that it did not bind the
last Legislature, and yet if a
platform demand is binding at
all it would seem that it ought to
be binding on every Legislature
until the demand is carried into
effect, The only way to make
sure of submission, however, is
elect legislators who will submit
it.
Texas will not get any of the
money Mr. Rockefeller so kindly
gave to eradicate the hook worm.
Just after receiving his Standard
Oil dividends one morning Mr
R. took a million dollars from his
vest pocket, laid it on the table
and announced to the world that
it would go to make the hook-
worm skiddoo. The hookworm
appropriation was hedged about
with barriers and considerations
that Texas didn't care to break
down and sign up, hence all the
hookworm money will go to states
not so particular and more recep-
tive. Medical men say we have
been gnawed upon by the hook-
shaped parasites for centuries,
and perhaps we will have to en-
dure them until buttermilk has
accomplished its perfect work.

CUCUMBER TIME.
Behold the cucumber, it toileth
not, neither doth it spin, but it
causes a greater commotion in
man than a cyclone, and makes
him spin some. See the long,
1 graceful cucumber, as it reclines
in the basket at the grocer's
front door. Rich green and sym-
metrical, it is one of nature's
triumphs in color and shape, and
the eye of man taketh to it even
as unto a pink-cheeked actress
with dreamy eyes. See this
same cucumber when by the deft
touch of woman it has been met
amorphosed into the star attrac-
tion on the menu of the mid-
day meal. How peaceful, how
delicate its beauty as it peeps out
from the scalloped bowl of cut
glass, or a two-bit imitation of
the glass-cutters art. Its cheeks
have been touched with pipper
and salt, and the whole given a
baptism by the immersion route
in vinegar of ripe vintage. Noth-
ing ever fitted a human palate so
well—nothing ever touched into
life an appetite so pure and keen,
and never were there enough
slices of cucumber to satisfy the
cravings of the diners.
But—there is never a day so
sunny, but the night must come.
The cucumber is all right for day
time use, but if there are nights
in the country where you live,
shun it as you would shun an ad-
der or a millinery bill.
There ^ere two more trials of
strength in Texas Saturday be-
tween the prohis and antis. Such
contests are not new to Texas,
but are as common as picnics irf
summer and colds in winter. But
they do not lose their exciting
features on account of their fre-
quency; like dog fights and mar-
riages they are always new and
exciting. Cooke county has been
the scene of many battles royal
over this question. Up to last
Saturday the antis had always
succeeded in overcoming the cold-
water cohorts, but on this nota-
ble day the prohis made a charge
that could not be withstood, and
when Saturday's sun took his
daily plunge into the Pacific they
were in charge of the citadel of
John Barleycorn. The majority
was 399. Gainesville has twen-
ty-eight saloons, which no doubt
will be sadly missed by many of
her citizens and visitors. In Palo
Pinto county the result was dif-
ferent. Mineral Wells is the
principal part of this county, and
the town is supplied with an
abundance of mineral water,
which creates quite a disturbance
when taken into the innards.
Evidently the people do not take
their mineral water straight, as
they returned a handsome ma-
jority in favor of the sale of in-
toxi cants^
Illinois seems determined to
eclipse all her sister states in
bribery scandals. Others have
furnished sensations in high of-
ficial life that caused the people
to sit up and take notice for a
time, but Illinois comes forward
with a bribery scandal that, in
the language of the late Oom
Congressman Gordon Russell,
who was recently appointed to
the federal bench, is a splendid
orator and an effective cam-
paigner. His appointment recalls
to our mind the first and only
time we ever saw him. It was at
the State Democratic convention
in Dallas when Culberson was
nominated for governor the first
time. Free silver was then an
issue and there was a battle royal
over making free and unlimited
coinage of silver a platform de-
mand. One night was given to a
discussion of this plank in the
platform. The discussion began
at 8 o'clock and a vote was not
reached until 4 o'clock in the
morning. The speakers on the
gold standard side were Judge
W. L. Crawford, Judge Aldridge
and Judge Fleming, of San An-
tonio. The free silver champions
were Gordon Russell, Dick Wyne
ami John Duncan. It was a bat-
tle of the giants.
Don't disturb the dead,no mat-
ter how small a portion of a per-
son the dead may be. Because his
arm which was amputated was4-^ur(ien upon
taken from the grave without his
consent, for use in the trial of a
damage suit, A. B. Jones, of
Greenville, filed suit in the dis-
trict court there for $25,000
against W. T. Wagoner and the
Vernon Cotton Oil Co. The arm
was lost while he was an employe
of this company. Leave the
grave alone, with all its terrors
and secrets.
The cow that is to supply Pres-
ident Taft's table with milk and
butter is valued at $10,000 and
was donated by a Wisconsin man.
We are not informed what par-
ticular point makes this bovine
lady so valuable. If it is the
quantity of milk given she must
contribute a water-tank full of
the lacteal fluid at a milking; if
it is the quality of her product
we judge that a glass of her milk
is equal to a New Orleans gin
fizz in flavor and exhilariting
properties.
A WISE TEXAS STATUTE.
When the Legislature of Texas
enacted a law removing taxes
from all useful occupations the
effect was almost immediate.
Now a man can go into business
in Houston or any other city in
the state knowing that there is
no tax except that of competition
against his efforts.
In other states it is different.
In Mobile occupation taxes are
almost prohibitive, and that old
Alabama seaport is about as dead
as cities can be made to be and
still claim life. There, it is stat-
ed, the development of business
activity is seriously hampered by
the method of taxation.
The law removing taxes from
useful occupations did more than
lift a handicap; it encouraged
business. It gave a free start
and was an invitation to the es-
tablishment of enterprises of the
right character. — Houston Chron-
icle.
When the above was said a
high compliment was paid cfur
townsman, Mr. S. L. Erwin. He
did more than any single man,
yea more than all other men in
the state to have this tax blotted
out- And but for his work this
efforts to., make a
living would be upon the 'people
of Texas to-day. The business
interests of Texas owe S. L. Er
win a debt they will probably
never pay.
A new ordinance regulating the
liquor traffic in an Illinois town
forbids any table or chair in the
saloon, any free lunch, any loit-
ering on the premises, or any
treating. Every man must pay
for his own drink and when he
has quenched his thirst must
move on. This appears to be a
good plan. The drinker would
have little chance to get drunk,
as he would wear himself out
walking around the block be-
tween drinks.
Paul Kruger, staggers humanity.
Representatives have stood up
before the grand jury and testi-
fied that they were paid large
sums to vote for William Lorimer
for U. S. Senator. Mr. Lorimer
denies all and says it is only a
scheme of the newspapers to ruin
him. The public must wait and
see.
The School Board of Kaufman
has adopted a resolution to the
effect that no teacher will be em-
ployed who dances. No ban has
been placed on playing skip-to-
my-lou or forty-two, and even if
the Kaufman county pedagogues
and pedagoguesses can't engage
in the dreamy waltz and lively
two-step, t they can have a real
good time.
In the appointment of Gordon
Russell to the federal judgeship
President Taft gave Cecil Lyon
his first slap in the face. Cecil
has been patted on the cheek so
long that a blow full in the face
will likely give him the pouts.
A recent convert is alright pro-
vided we like him and he is con-
verted to the thing we want him
converted to. There are four re-
cent converts in the present race
for Governor, and each conver-
sion has been attributed by many
to a desire upon the part of the
converted to warm the Gover-
nor's chair. But you'll hardly
find a man who does not swear
that at least one of the conver-
sions was genuine and patriotic.
No Prohibition Ticket for Lamar.
The momentous question of
whether or not Lamar county
Prohibitionists of the genuine,
dyed in the wool, blown in the
bottle brand should have a ticket
in the field during the approach-
ing campaign was settled by a
mass meeting held in the district
court room in this city Saturday
afternoon. The decision was to
the effect that no ticket will be
put out.
Hon. C.^W. Howell, chairman
of the Lamar County Prohibition
Executive committee, issued a
call for the meeting about ten
days ago and had it published in
every newspaper in the county.
He presided at i!he meeting and
there were 000 delegates present,
representing the various pre-
cincts of the county, showing the
great interest in a straight Pro-
hibition party that the anti-liquor
men of the county are manifest-
ing.
The audience consisted of one
lonely newspaper man, who was
spitting cotton and frothing at
the mouth, the janitor having
forgotten to provide even ice wa-
ter for. the meeting. After a
considerable amount of argu-
ment, the newspaper man won
out, as he was an anti, and pre-
vailed upon the chairman to call
off the proposition to name a
Prohibition ticket in Lamar coun-
ty.—Paris Advocate.
Mortimore Case Reversed.
The case of state vs. R. W.
Mortimore was yesterday revers-
ed by the Court of Criminal Ap-
The County Attorney of Hunt
county has placed a ban on the
sale of flavoring extracts. He
announces that henceforth all
persons who sell these extracts
will be prosecuted for violation of
the local option law. These ex-
tracts contain a small per cent of
alcohol and certain lovers of the
drunk have formed the habit of
tanking up on the mild decoctions
that were intended as flavoring
for ice cream and fruit cakes.
Congressman Gordon Russell
was appointed to the federal
judgeship made vacant by the
death of Judge Bryant. Mr.
Russell is an able man and his
appointment will give general
satisfaction. In Fannin county
the people had no idea there was
any chance for the appointment
of a Democrat, and they made a
strong pull for their^fellow-coun-
tian Hon. Gid McGrady, of Bon-
ham.

peals because evidence against
him did not and was not sufficient
to sustain the verdict of the jury
and the judgment rendered
against him by the District court
of Fannin county at the February
term. Mr. Mortimore is to be
congratulated on the result of
the appeal as it is a proof of his
innocence. The reversal of the
case virtually disposes of it and
exonerates a worthy young man
from a charge which all who
knew him believed to be false.
Several cables and telegrams from
Europe and America have been
received by Mr. Mortimore con-
gratulating him on the result.
His friends rejoice in his success
knowing him to be a thoroughly
upright and honorable man in
every way and are glad that jus-
tice has prevailed.—Greenville
Banner. ^
Dr. Cook Again.
Dr. Cook has been found, so
the papers say.
He is in Scotland preparing for
his trip to Etah, whence he plans
to bring back his records of his
discovery of the North Pole and
his instruments, which are cach-
ed there. He also intends to
bring back the two Eskimo boys
who accompanied him on his
dash to the pole. Dr. Cook's ob-
jective point when he shall have
recovered his records and instru-
ments, says the newspapers, will
be Copenhagen. There he will
present his completed proofs to
the scientific body before which
he appeared when he first return-
ed from the far north.
The Signal does not guarantee
Dr. Cook to 5e in Scotland but if
he is, and goes back to Etah, re-
turns and gets his records okd,
nobody in this section will be
sorry. Cook is one liar we would
all be glad to convict of the truth.

Card of Thanks.
To the many friends who so
tenderly and lovingly ministered
to our husband and father during
his recent illness and death, and
to those whose hearts beat in
sympjathy with ours in this dark
hour of God's providence, we de-
sire to take this method of thank-
ing you and of expressing our
deepest gratitude for every act
of kindness. No one save those
who have had a similar expe-
rience can know how to appreci-
ate such loving ministrations of
geeat and generous souls. May
God's richest blessings rest upon
you all.

Wants to Help Someone.
For thirty years J. F. Boyer,of
Fertile, Mo., needed help and
couldn't find it. That's why he
wants to help someone now. Sui>
fering so long himself he feels for
all distress from backache, ner-
vousness, loss of appetite, lassi-
tude and kidney disorders. He
shows that Electric Bitters work
wonders for such troubles. "Five
bottles," he writes entirely cur-
ed me and now I am well and
hearty." It's also positively
guaranteed for liver trouble, dys-
pepsia, blood disorders, female
complaints and malaria. Try

A $50 Speech in Five Minutes.
Speeches eloquently delivered
in great emergencies come at a
high price. President Harrison
received $100,000 for a talk be-
fore the Venezuelan commission.
Daniel Webster acquired a Mass-
achusetts mountain by his fam-
ous "murdfer will out" speech,
and Abruzzi all but won a West
Virginia fortune with a tete-a-
tete in Italian. But it remained
for a ComaKcKaTady*"to make; a
$50 speech in five minutes. The
venerable board of equalization
sat in its robes of dignity enjoy-
ing the torture of mental anguish
which their victims one by one
exhibited. The autocrat of all
the Russias is not more autocratic
than any board of equalization.
Their fiat is as inexorable as any
ukase or irade or firman ever is-
sued from St. Petersburg or Con-
stantinople. Only one other dic-
tator in all the world enjoys equal
absolute power with them, and
that is a base ball umpire. They
do not assume this authority; it
is affixed to their position by the
law and they cannot help it.
And so this omnipotent board sat
at the rack and watched the ex-
pressions of terror-stricken awe
that opened the hopeless argu-
ments of their victims and the
sable dismay that closed their ap-
peals, when a handsome woman
suddenly appeared, all wreathed
in confident smiles and armed
with magic weapons that few can
resist. The triangle of stone be-
came a trio of responsive human
beings, and in a feyr minutes
they announced a unanimous ver-
dict. The lady had won her case;
a $50 reduction in five minutes,
which is $10 a minute according
to all the arithmetics. Cyrus
changed ^he course of the Eu-
phrates, Dutchmen dammed the
ocean, Joshua halted the sun,
Jonah made a submarine boat of
whale, and Franklin broke the
wild electric colts of the skies
and put them in harness; but
here is a greater miracle than all
these — a woman convinced a
board of equalization. — Comanche
Chief.
Red Noses in Red River.
Detective Wallace, of the*Tex-
as & Pacific railroad station,
picked up a fine alligator skin
bag lying upon the lawn in front
of the station Wednesday after-
noon. It had evidently been tak-
en there and examined and if
any valuables were found in the
bag they were taken.
Inside the grip were two neatly
bound pamphlets each labeled,
"List of whisky drinkers ^n
Clarjcsville, Red River county."
In the two pamphlets there were
exactly 2,160 names written neat-
ly in ink. There was also a war-
ranty deed issued in Red River
county. Besides the papers, two
shirts were all the grip contained.
The bag itself is a handsome
affair of real alligator skin lined
with leather. The detective is
unable to figure out whether it
belonged to a whisky drummer
or a prohibition worker, but is
holding it at the station awaiting
a claimant.—Fort Worth Record.
