IMPORTANT OMISSION.
j&aredo Times:
Editor of The Times: I beg to
.sail attention to the most important
nrt of the translation handed to
ytu for publication several days
ago.
By inadvertence on your part I
Resume it was omitted. After
aaentioning the fact that certain
iirds became infected with yellow
jlprer and cholera the reason for
such migration is given viz: "That
3S the swallows and other birds
2ed on insects (moscas) which
come in contact with the germs of
i&e disease and become infected
t&ereby these birds instinctively
avoid the germ taking flight from
.tjie infected places and especially
Ifcom the insects which transmit
&he disease."
Will you kindly give place to
tie above in your issue?
In this'connection permit me to
jay that certain localities in Laredo
ire usually infested with bats in
gsmi numbers. There birds (?) or
Sttimals feed on insects. Has any
ne discovered the fact that the
fcats are not now so numerous? If
30y have they also forsaken the in-
fected city and taken up their
abode where the subtle germ does
stot exist? If birds and bats refuse
live among us how long Oh
ow long shall we bohottldd up(?)

The editor of the Chickasha Ex-
press who is religiously inclined
was away from home last Sunday
3nd before he left he requested the
sporting editor to attend church and
sjeport the sermon and the follow-
ing was the result: "The weather
??as perfect and the grandstand
und bleachers were packed. The
ev. Dr. was in the box for the
Christians and he certainly had
Qvorything in the book. When he
tackled the New Jerusalem he used

Robert Russell Brakeman.
This is a glorious age in which
we live. Old men thank God that
you have lived this long to be a pari
of it; and young men let your
hearts be grateful. that your coming
was delayed until this generation.
Our men are glorious.
Our women are glorious.
And so are our aims and achieve-
ments. The glory that ?7as Greece and
the grandeur that was' Rome! True
true in their arts and their letters
and their semi-barbaric civilization
but for the heroism of lowly ones
God bless and keep them let us
look to America and the rest of
Christendom and to the Twentieth
century. There are marble remem-
brances for those of us who in a"par-
ticular field rise above our fellows
but we are helpless in keeping green
the niemory of our humble men and
women whose spirits are chivalrous
and gallant and whose hearts are
strong and brave.
One instance from tens of thou-
sands. JRobert Russell was a brakeman
on the New York New Haven and
Hartford railroad. He was not yet
twenty years of age but already he
was a thrifty industrious wage-
earner and in New Haven he had
a girlish wife and a cosy home.
Russell was going to this girlish
wife and cosy home one evening
riding in the cab of a switch engine
when he slipped and fell under the
merciless crunching wheels. He was
crushed horribly and when the
doctors came they shook their heads
and said that death would come in
a few moments. Russell had not
lost consciousness and looked up
and asked:
"How many minutes?"
The question was put in such a
way as to preclude the usual con-
soling white lie or evasion and
one of the surgeons replied:
"Twenty at the outside."
Russell tnrned his eyes toward
one of his friends a fireman and
said:
"Go get the little -wife Jack. It
will take you thirty minutes even
if you rush. Bui I'll live the extra
ten. Tell her I will. And-you other
people won't rou pray with me that
I may live to see .her?"
And the other people did pray
and when the little wife reached
Russell's side she saw that he had
kept his promise. He struggled to
hold out his mangled arms to her.
Mrs. Russell of childish face and
form but womanly spirit nestled
close to her loved one who was go-
ing away. Russell smiled tenderly
and whispered faintly:
"I lived the extra ten didn't I?
Good-bye sweetheart; I'm going to
sleep."
And brave Bobbie slept and the
one who was left to battle alone had
the blessed knowledge that her lad
with the blue overalls and the dust
and grease on his face wag as good
and as worthy as any of the states-
men and warriors and men of let-
ters who contribute to the grandeur
of nations.
Robert Russell was an American
citizen one of eighty millions a
Godworshipping man one of hun-
dreds of millions.
This is indeed a glorious age in
which we live. Houston Post.
