Staha, a farmer living on Rocky,
south of town, started home
Thursday night with a load of

was discussed and a committee
appointed to look into the propo-

Once upon a time there was a dog i
whose delight it was to bark at the j
moon. He knew nothing discreditable
concerning the moou> but felt that i
he just naturally must show his su-

and called it names, and made faces at
it by the hour. All this caused the [
other animals great annoyance, and at
last they held ah indignation meeting, j
“Something must be done!” was the]
general opinion. “Let us do it by tak-

Representative W. T. Bagby of
Hallettsville, was in Kenedy sev-
eral days this week, making
headquarters here while engaged
as counsel in an important case
in district court in Karnes City.
When asked concerning the pos-
sibility of his entering the race
for congress to succeed George
Burgess of the Ninth District,
Mr. Bagby said he was yet unde-
cided. His indecision, he stated,
was on account of the state of
bis health, which, however,
seemed to be' improving. He
said he was being importuned by
friends from various parts of the
district to make the race, and
that later on. if he thought his
health would permit of an active
campaign he would in all proba-
bility be a candidate. Mr. Bag-
by said he was looking for a
special session of the Legislature
to be called in January at which
time the congressional re-dis-
tricting bill would be enacted.
In that event Karnes county
would be eliminated from the
Ninth District and possibly be
included in a district with Bexar
and Nueces counties.—Kenedy

The Stenographic Art has Again
Been Revolutionized by Henry
Edward Byrne, President of
the Tyler Commercial Col-
lege of Tyler, Texas.
Some seventeen years ago' he
invented a system of Shorthand
known as the Byrne Simplified.
This system possessed such won-
derful advantages that seven
large editions of the book have
been printed and there are now
over 30,000 writers of this fam-
ous system. The system was
controlled in this section by the
Tyler Commercial College and it
did much toward making it the
largest training school in Ameri-
ca. Recently Prof. Byrne ap-
plied the principles of this Short-
hand system to the typewriter,
using the regular typewriter that
is found in the ordinary business
office, using the same type, but
printing the characters in plain
type instead of using crooked
marks made with the pencil.
This system is called Stenotype-
writing. The Byrne Simplified
Shorthand was mastered in half
the time required of other sys-
tems, and Stenotypewriting is
mastered in almost a month less
time than the Byrne Shorthand.
It can be written at a higher rate
of speed than Shorthand, can be
read like print because it is print
and so simjple that a child can
learn it, sto thorough and com-
plete that it will record anything
in the English language. It is
absolutely7legible; there is no
guess work in ‘the reading. , It is
capable of taking the most rapid
speakers; it is truly the steno^
graphic marvel of the age. It
not only means a saving of much
time and expense to those who
desire to become efficient ^steno-
graphers, but it means better
stenographic service for the bus-
iness office. The stenographer
does not have to fool with tablet,
pencil or crooked marks, but
simply takes the dictation on any
ordinary typewriter and when
the dictation is finished he be-
gins transcribing on the same
machine without removing the
hands from the keyboard except
to change the paper.
The Tyler Commercial College
will control the teaching of Sten-
otypewriting in this section as it
has the Byrne Simplified Short-
hand. Young people desiring to
make expert office assistants or
to prepare to go into business for
themselves, should write for cat-
alogue of the Tyler Commercial
College, read of the advantages
they offer to energetic young
people who desire to become thor-
ough lv qualified as a business
man, bookkeeper, stenographer,
operator or secretary. Their
course of Business Administra-
tion and Finance embraces twelve
heavy subjects calculated to. pre-
pare young men and women for
heavier duties of the more exact-
ing business offices. Their
course in Cotton Grading is ab-
solutely thorough and complete

Helena was patting the strange dog
while she spoke to him in a soft tone.
His big brown eyes looked appealing-
ly at her; his plumy tail, snarled with
burs and briers, thumped th$ ground.
“He’s an Irish setter, Biddy,” said
Helena.
“Shure, he’s no credit to the racei
mum! Here, ye good-for-nothing beg-
gar, drink all the water ye want!”
Biddy’s attitude toward the dog
changed at once. She petted him and
fed him, and even scrubbed him until
the silky coat glistened.

pletons’ gate ajow-swung, wicked-look-

two numbers of figures each, viz.:
36 and 27. Then adding the two fig-
ures of each number, viz.: 3 'plus 6
equals 3, and 2 plus 7 equals 9, he
gets the ninth day of the ninth month,
viz.: September 9, the date when
peace was signed.
.JhsMsame result is obtained in the
case of the Franco-Prussian war, be-
gun ip T870 and ended in 1871. In
fact, 1870 plus 1871 equals 3741, or
S7 and 41, and 3 plus 7 equals 10,
while 4 plus 1 equals 5, so that the
date of peace was May 10.
Assuming that the present war ends
this year then 1914 plus 1915 equals
3829, or 38 and 29; hence 3 phis 8
equals 11 and 2 plus 9 equals 11, and
the result is November 11.
Supposing, however, the war lasts
until 1916, then peace will be signed
on April 11.

what his prophecy that the war will
end this year is based.—New York

the varmint under discussion is an ;
abomination. Still, he is one of the j
pests to whom all the rest of, creation t
appear to feel compelled to give ear |
and deference—men call them reform- ]
ers or agitators, or statesmen, as the
case may be. As I understand it,
there is no way of stopping his bark-
ing at the moon except by paying him
to quit. And that, alas! would not give
us permanent relief, for as soon as
he had spent our money he would find
something else to howl about, and we
should have to buy him all over
again.”
Moral—From this we should learn
that the average pest secures immu-
nity from retribution because he has
us bluffed.—Judge.
Edward C.. Pope of Manchestei
writes the Kennebec Journal as fol
lows: “In your issue of May 15, un
der Maine Gossip, you tell of a curi
osity . . . somewhat resembling
an alligator . . . nine inches long
with bright yellow Bpots along itt
sides,” found by Mr. Blanding oi
Great Pohd.
This creature is a spotted salaman
der (Amblystbma punctatum) and it
an, amphibian, like the frogs, but i*
much more closely related to th€
newts or salamanders of our streams
commonly miscalled lizards.
The spotted' salamander is not rare

cealed in moist spots during the day

cur in roundish masses of transparent
jelly, resembling frog spawn.
The young, when first hatched, swim
freely in the water, and breathe by
means of fringed gills on the sides ol
the head. When they have attained a
length o( two or three inches they
begin to breathe by means of lungs,
the gills are gradually absorbed and
the youngsters begin to travel about
on land.
I have kept two of these salaman-
' ders in a glass tank in the house for
two or three years past, with plants
and moist moss for shelter. They are
red-brown eyes, jumped out and en-
tered the yard.
As the gate clanged, the dog, lying
at Helena’s feet, lifted his head,
growled delightedly and bounded down
the path.
Helena turned to watch him.
The red-haired motorist opened wide
his long arms and Vchuckled with joy
as the big dog clumsily embraced him.
“Easy — easy — Captain!” laughed
the man. “Glad to see me, eh? Old
fellow, I’ve missed you like the
dickens?” '
■ Captain’s recognition of his master
was most convincing. The dog’s joy
was a most touching tribute to the
young man’s capacity to inspire canine
affection. Meanwhile Henry Dacre was
looking at Helena with frank curiosity
in his brilliant eyes. *
“I believe we are old acquaintances,
after all,” he smiled.
“Indeed?” returned Helena, siffly.
She already hated »him cordially be-
cause he had coma after his dog. “I
do not remember.”
“You used to call me ‘Red-Headed
Hen,’ and once you slapped my face,”
he explained. “I lived next door to
you in Ashley street.”
“Oh—!” There was a world of recol-
lection in Helena’s face. “You were
such a hateful little boy!” she cried
impulsively.
Finally he went away, bearing three
things with him:
One was the joyful dog, another
was Mrs. Appleton’s invitation to din-
ner, and the last but not the least
was the memory of Helena’s lovely,
scornful face as she gave him the Ups
of her Augers.
Fate was so embarrassing at times!
To think she' was compelled to love
a dog when she detested his master!

The Central Law Journal says that
Theophilus Harrington, a Vermont
Judge in the early part of the last cen-
^tury, was a man who loved the right
and cared little for mere legkl quib-
bling. “If justice controls your ver-
dict,” fie would often say to the jury,
“you will not miss the general prin-
ciples of the law.” At one trial when
the possession of a farm was in ques-
tion the defendant offered a deed of
the premises to which the plaintiff’s
lawyer, Daniel Ghipman, objected be-
cause it had no seal.
“But your client sold the land, was
paid for it and signed* the deed, did
he not?” asked the judge.
“That makes no difference,” said
Chipman, “the deed has no seal- and
cannot be admitted in evidence!”
“Is anything else the matter with
the deed ?” asked the judge.
“I don’t know that there is.”
“Mr. Clerk,” said the judge, “give
me a wafer and a three-cornered piefiMjlfc
of paper.”
The clerk obeyed, and the judge de-
liberately made and affixed the Beal.
“There, Brother Chipman,” said he,
“the deed is all right now. It may be
put in evidence. A man Is not going
to be cheated out of his farm in this
court when there Is a whole box of
wafers on the clerk’s desk.”

A Mistake In 8cotL
Novel readers who like to combine
the classic with the topical may be
turning back, now that another great
chapter in the history of Constanti-
nople Is opening, to one of Scott's less
popular works, “Count Robert of
Paris.” And there they will find one
Of those curious slips, analogous to
(he lady novelist's horse that won the
Derby three years running and the
eclipse of the sun in "King Solomon’s
Mines” followed by a moonlight
night. Scott’s slip is more excusable,
seeing that he had not seen Constan-
tinople, but it cannot be explained
away. Sir Edwin Pears, While testi-
fying that Scott’s descriptions are
upon the whole singularly exact, ob-
serves that he makes the Crusaders
wait before crossing a bay on the
Bosporus until the tide has ebbed.
Now there is no tide in eithej the

Eyes Stand the Strain.
The number of persons wearing
glasses is often taken to mean that
eyes are deteriorating. But scientific
opinion does not hold to this view. So
far as science knowB there has been
no change in the structure of the hu-
man body in historic times.
Examination of the eyes of Indian
students in schools shows as large a
proportion with defective vision as of
white pupils. Several years ago an
oculist measured th£ refraction of the
eyes of many wild animals in. the
Bronx Zoo of New York.. Their eyes
proved to be as defective as the eyes
of human beings. Nature is often a
bit careless in its work. But there Is
no evidence that Its optical glkss. is
breaking down under the strain im-
posed by civilization.
