Some men are so constituted that

It will be a long time before the

Fort Worth seems to be having

Trlnce llelle deSagan Is arranging
for an early departure from this coun-
try and states that he hopes he will
never see America again. Too bad
he has formed such a bad Impression.
The man who takes the world as
he finds It gets along through life

his efforts to have things run In a
different channel.
In going after the anarchists with
the Big 8tick the President will find
that he has the backing of all the
good people of this country. That is
one thing that ought to be stamped
out for all time to come.
Now that the Texas coal miners

their good example will have a ten-

tween the miners and the operators of
Oklahoma.
Governor Johnson's opening speech
has a good ring to It and will inspire
confidence In his ability and bis po-
sition. At this distance it looks as if
be was leading a forlorn hope but It
may be that those In closer touch
with the situation have a better point
of vantage.
Editing a paper for the readers of
the paper and with a view to pleas-
ing them is one proposition and edit-
ing a newspaper with the sole view
to attracting the attention of other
newspapers is another proposition.
It doesn't take the seventh son of a

Those who figure that the primary

the primaries of July 25 at which
state and county candidates will be
nominated.
The man who Is reported to be en-

If the taxpayer was half as jealous
of his money after It Is paid Into the
public treasury ns he Is before he pays
it, he might find his burdens a little
lighter. He might ask that the courts
that he pays for be a little more
prompt In disposing of business.—
Beeville Bee.
There is a world of truth in this
paragraph. Every once In awhile a
community wakes up to find that they
have been done good and plenty. It
pays for the people to keep In touch
with the expenditures for which their
money la spent and know what is be-
ing done. It is usually a case, how-
ever, of what's everybody's business
Is nobody's business.
. There should be a closer relation
existing between the farmers and the
business men of a town. Their Inter-
ests are one and whatever has for
Ita end the cultivation of a closer
relation between farmer and merchant
should be welcomed. Sales Day has
this very idea in view and for this
reason it should have the hearty sup-
port of every one.—Terrell Tran-
script.
The sales dsy plan as inaugurated
and worked out In Denison by the
Denison Board of Trade has proven
a good thing along the lines suggest-
ed by the Transcript. It is only one
of several good movements Inaugur-
ated by Secretary Larkin that have
helped to bring the people of the
town and country closer together tuid
lo a realization of mutual Interests.
Steer clear of notions In fanning.
What does that mean? Just this:
Have nothing to do with Belgian
hares. Leave the ginsing fad out.
There is nothing In them for the ev-
eryday farmer. Same way about frog

and energy. When the spirt moves! sort of thing. Be enterprising, but
let It be along lines of legitimate
farming.—Home and Farm.
The esteemed Gazetteer suggests
that the Herald get out a split-log
drag and try its effect on Woodard
Street. It would be waste of time
the commission it will be attended
to and not before. Pending this if the
people don't like It they ran lump It.

The publishers of this country suc-
ceeded lit getting the attention of
Speaker Cannon to their fight against
the paper trust, and he himself intro-
duced a resolution calling on the At-
torney General to transmit to the
House papers and data in his posses-
sion showing what had been done
with reference to investigating the
said trust. His position is that the
trust is amenable to the laws and
should be attacked In that way rath-
er than by tariff reduction.—Denison
Herald.
No doubt the foxy old gentleman
who holds the House of Representa-
tives in the hollow of his hand Is so
thoroughly embittered against the pa-
per trust, and all the other trusts,
that he thinks they will quit tl^elr
meanness and be good just as soon as
they hear that he thinks they sre not
always above the lair.—Dallas News.

YE8, IT PAYS.
It pays to raise cattle and horses
and hogs and sheep that are the best
that good breeding and careful feeding
can produce.
Take the example of Lee Bros., who
live near San Angelo. They had a
Hereford steer at the recent Feeders
and Breeders’ show which weighed
1,440 pounds less than three years
old. It was highly bred and carefully
The steer took first prize In Its
class and was declared grand cham-
pion of the show. After, that Lt&
Bros, sold him to Armour & Co., for
$172.80. They had already taken
$1»0 premiums with him, making the
returns from the single steer $362.80.
It would have taken eight ordinary
steers weighing over 900 pounds, and

The eldtor had occasion this week
to pass over several miles of public
road. AH of the road was In very
good condition. It was just following
rain and he expected to find the road
In very bad condition but he was sur-
prised and It was a very pleasant sur-
prise too, to find the roads as they
are. A part of the road, however, had
been dragged. The split-log drag
had been used upon it and there is
where the great difference was ap-
parent. The road which had been
dragged was altogether different It
was much better preserved and
smoother. The ruts were gone and
the team had no difficulty in going
along. It was also a pleasure to the
traveler. Hunt County roads should
more often than they do have the
drag used upon them. What a splen-
did thing It would be! The convic-
tion is growing everywhere that the;
drag is the thing to use on the roads
and nowhere more than in Hunt Coun- wintering
ty. The Banner is glad to see it This j monastery of the Benedictines,
course will give the county first class
roads in every particular.—Greenville

The champion steer was a Texas
product, Texas bred and Texas fed.
It killed out over 70 per cent, one of
the highest records ever established
by a steer anywhere in the United
States. That, shows that in feeding
Texas can equal any state of the Un-
ion.
Suppose a feeder sends to market
100 steers, averaging 900 pounds and
gets $4.50, a very good price. He will
get only as much as another feeder,
who sends In 64 steers averaging
1,200 pounds and getting for them
$5.25. Not only has the second man
received the same money, but he has
haved freight, commission and cost of
feeding on more than a car load of
steers besides.

how would it do to hare all theown-

on them, Just like the dogs? .One
great advantage over this is the fact
that the chickens do sleep at night,
while the dogs, licensed to go about

their devilment at all hours. It would

Mrs. Gothora entered a trolley car
and while getting a nickel out of. her
portemennale laid her mink muff oh
the seat between her and, a lady who
sat next to her. Having paid her fare
and looked out of the window, meditat-
ing on something she had on her mind,
she suddenly remembered her muff.
It vw hot where she had left it, but
reposing on the lap of the lady next
to her. who sat as composedly ns If
■he bad not appropriated, it
"Pardon me, madam,” said Mrs. Go-
thorn, “you have taken up my muff by
mistake.”
“Not at all,” replied the lady. “I
have my own muff.”
Mre, Gothora was simply stunned at
this assurance and was thinking what
to do when the lady motioned to tbe
conductor. Tho car was stopped, and
■be got oat Mn. Gothora got out too.
She followed the thief till she cam* to
a police man.
“Arrest that woman,” sho said to
him. "She has stolon my muff.”
“Can you (wove it?" ho asked.
“Yea. Don’t you see that It la the
same far aa my tippet—mink?”
The poUcemai did not look especial-
ly convinced. Indeed, he did not know
tbe difference between mink and aable.
Ha went up to the woman with tbe
muff and told her ah# was charged by
the other lady with stealing her muff.
“Do take bin away,” said the thief.
“She’s crasy. She’s been following
me nil over town, thinking I have her
muff.”
That ended It The policeman look-
ed from one to the other for a few
momenta and, see lag that they both
appeared to be ladles, declined to havo
anything to do with the case. Tbe
thief went on, and Mn. Gothora, real-
ising tho futility of following the mat-
ter up, abandoned the chase.
A year later Mrs. Gothora attended a
dinner given by her friends, Mr. and
Mrs. Amea. She waa Introduced before
going to the dining room to several peo-
ple ahe did not know. One of them, Mn.
Flaber, waa the woman who bad ap-
propriated her muff.
Now, Mrs. Gothora bad thought a
great deal about the clever trick by
whkh ahe bad made her loss and aa
to what aha would do In cue she ever
again met the thief. One thing ahe
had determined upon—that she Would
not, figuratively speaking, “buck up
against a atone wall” by accusing her
of the theft She would use stratagem.
If Mn. Flaber remembered ber as the
woman she had despoiled, she gave no
evidence of the recollection. Before
tbe party moved to tbe table Mrs. Go-
