__ Chantecler”
TT'DMOND ROSTAND’S wonderful “Chantecler”Is the dramatic sensation
rl of’the world. In it (Rostand proves hiiRself to bo one of the greatest dram-
" A atists of all times. ■“ Chantecler’’ is not only the greatest play of the cen-
tury,—it is the one great play of the ^ •
last hundred years. It is an exqui-
site story, palpitating with human
sympathy and interest. It warms
the blood —stirs the emotions--
arouses every commendable senti-
ment. “Chantecler” sparkles with
wit—counsels with wise philoso-
phy — entertains with fascinating
ldiom^—while the tones of the hour
bell of today, and today’s problems,
are heard through the medium of
“ChanteclCr’s ” deliciously up-to-
date slang. No language contains
sufficient superlatives to describe it.
Only reading and study will enable
you to appreciate it. It has aroused
all France—London has gone,mad
over it. ■ - T *.
The Only English Translation j
Rostand has chosen Hampton’s f
Magazine as the medium through which
to'present “Chantecler” to the English-reading World. I he pi
ments, one act to each instalment, beginning in the June number. The translator is the same
who helped to make “Cyrano de Bergerac ” so fascinating to American' booklovers.
We have made special arrangements with the publishers of HAMPTON’S by which our
readers’may get “Chantecler” and the many other fine features published in HAMPTON’S
in connection with our own paper, practically without cost. Read our offer below.
OTHER EXPENSIVE FEATURES
Hampton’s Magazine every month con-
tains the most costly, morft important, and
most interesting contents ever put betiveen
the cpvers of a general magazine. “Peary’s
Own Story” of the discovery of the North
Pole, a $50,000 feature, is now in its most in-
teresting stage, giving the positive “proofs”
that Commander Peary and no other man dis-
covered the North Pole. “ The True History
of the Southern Pacific Railroad” by Charles
Edward Russell is one of the greatest mag-
azine serials ever published. Mrs. Rheta
Childe Dorr’s articles on the “Power of the
Women’s Clubs” are without an equal in their
appeal to women everywhere. Fiction con-
tributors .....

Rodd is the central character. The only new
idea in detective .fiction since Sherlock Holmes
is provided in the second series of stories about
Luther Trant, the psychological detective,
written by Edwin Balmer and William G.
MacHarg. Other Short Stories are by such
favorites as O. Henry, Gouverneur Morris,

Device Invented by Houston Man on
Entirely Different Plan from
That of Others.
An clKctjr.i^ilY driy,eaca|ton com-
press, iterated" 6i\ ah entire)? differ-
ent principle from that on which the
ordinary compress In use works, has
been Invented by s Houston man,
Lemuel Tanner. -
The compress consists of a movable
platform, which works up and down
on four spiral rods, the motors for
driving the, compress being on the
platform Itself.
The screws, which work up and
down on the spiral rods, work borl-
zontaily Ip the platform, the Joint be-
ta* arranged with halt- bearings.—Thtr
screw extends^wo or three feet above
the level of the p’atform, where It Is
broadened, horizontally, and becomes
a bevel gear. This gear Is driven by
a complementary bevel gear, which
Is In turn ^driven by an endless chain
or belt connected to the main shaft,
the main shaft running between the
two motors located on. the platform.
Beneath the platform thefe is an
offset, the base of which Is the sise
of a bale. The base of this offset is
the part which, comes In contact with
the bale. The offset enables an op-
erator to stand beneath the platform
gnd work there. The four upright
spiral roda are bedded lit; concrete at
the bottom and secured above by
heavy beams.
The coat of the whole affair Is much
less than that of the style of com-
press now used; aud the Inventor main
tain's that It will entirely change the
present system when completed Pat.

This Is one of several patents per-
fected by Mr. Tan hot, who has recent-
ly secured a patent on a track raising

Indigestion Causes Death of Many

(BY MBS. W H Alt VET.)
A great many young ducks are killed
by wrong feeding. I feed mine corn-
meal ground fine, mixed with four
p&rU- cornmeal and one part fine
white shpd, or fine -gravel sifted.
Stir the sand and gravel up with
your meal and water and feed five
times a day. Always give water when
you feed them, as ducks cannot eat
without drinking at the same time.
Takp Aie water away when they are
through eating. •
I tried this plan last year and
raised 44 out of (rO: The year before"
I had 100 hatch hut only raised 13.
I also kept the little ducks shut up
with the old qhlcken mother. They
were a Week old before I let them
out.
GENERAL FARM NOTE*.
fhe breed is of less Importance
than the surroundings.
It does not pay to allow ths pigs to
run through a wet pasture. V
Too rich food and an absence of
lime will cause soft-shelled eggs.
A poor milker Is one of the surest
ways of diminishing the milk flow.
To be successful, a man must be
particular with his breeding stock.
From now until warm weathet
comes again cold-storage eggs will b«
fresh.
Each fowl needs at least three
square feet bf room In ths poultry
house.
Health is natural, disease Is un-
natural; health Is contagious as well
as disease.
Fruit that has been shaken from
the trees should never be stored foi
winter keeping.
Get your clicks out on the
ground as soon as they get thejr leg*
and know their brooder.
To make hogs profitable we must
provide plenty of range, that we may
keep their yards clean and sanitary.
An Indiana authority says that not
one farmer In a thoggsnd in that state
plants an orchard and takes care of It.
To Induce the greatest possible milk
How In heifers their calves should bs
removed from them the first week aft
er calving.
All hens and males not actually
needed, or which have outlived their
usefulness, should be sold or used on
the home table.
When milk Is fed to the chickens
do not neglect to give them plenty ol
fresh water; Neither will take the
place of the other.
It will pay any hog-grower to dig
his grovUIng pigs at least once
to keep their Ainu In good

We have 400 miles of gulf coast and
2,000 miles of inland waterways, tas-
ceptible to navigation. The cost ot
transporting freight over the water,
ways is 2 mills p^r ton per inije.
(
9 Mills Per Ton Per Mile.
This method of transportation is
cheaper than either railroad or public
highways. The principal cost of pub-
lic highways is in constructing and
maintaining the roadbed, and the same
applies to railroads, but nature fur-
nishes a level roadbed for the vessels
and the government maintains the
waterways:. The improvement of oar
rivers and harhors greatly lower
the cost of transportation.
Pipe Lines.
We have 1,500 mile* of pipe line in
transportation service leading from
the oil fields to ^ur refineries, and
^SB
/
Several hundred miles of pipe lines in
the refinery yards.
Pipe lines are primarily city build-
ers. The pipe lines bring the dll field
to the refinery and the gas well to the
city and the factory, and reduce the
cost of transportation as well as pro-
vide a feasible method of distributing
the product of the oil and gas wells
throughout the State.
Aerial Navigation.
We have no aiiships In transpo'rta-
tion service in Texas. This character
of transportation, while experimental,
is nevertheless Important, saya the
