I am very much in favor of the

afraid tcTamtbv^ it publicly. Not be-
cause I have any ”&ar^of some one
threatening to bust my 'Chamber of
Commerce, but because I possesSvuri1
great influence over Harris and tile
surrounding counties. I could spy
“Vote for the split" and no one (in
Chambers county would vote against
it. I would do this but I believe un
letting them vote as their judgment
tells them. The consolidation .of
Chambers and Harris counties means
that the law to keep the hogs out of
the main street of Anahuac would be
abolished.. \

Elephants That Burn
Mixed metaphors are not by any
means uncommon. Sometimes they
are merely Inept; occasionally they
are ludicrous. In England the other
day the Salford city council emitted
a gem.
The question under municipal de-
bate was whether Salford wanted to
have an exhibition hall. There seems
to have been a considerable difference
of opinion. Said one speaker:
“I do not want the council to get
their fingers burnt with a white ele-
phant!’’

Presidents for a Day
In March, 1849, the United States
had three successive President on as
many successive days. James A. Polk
ended his term March 3. President-
elect Zachary Taylor refused to be
inaugurated on Sunday, and he did
not take office until March 5. As
neither administration was in office,
David Rice Atchison of Kentucky,
president pro tem. of the senate,
served in the interim.

Appropriated Motto
“Ich dien" is a German phrase, mean-
ing literally “I serve.” It was orig-
inally the motto of John, the blind
king of Bohemia, who served in the
army of the king of France and was
slain in the battle of Crecy, 1346. The
victorious English army was led by
Edward the Black Prince, who ap-
propriated the motto, which since that
time has been the motto of the prince
of Wales.

Stone Formation
Stones are fragments of rocks,
while soil represents the complete dis-
integration of rock by the processes
of weathering. Hence, stones are not
formed by soil. However, the stones
and the soil of a certain region may
have the same rock as ancestors.
Stones are transported from one place
to another by water, In which case
'he Soil and the stones bear no
’on to each otiiev.
