GKEAT IS TEXAS.
The Lone Star State is the World's Great
Store'Housc Supplies Every Want
of Man.
When the people of the northern
states want cotton out o which to
make clothing they look to Texas
to furnish it; when they want early
vegetables and the finest berries
and fruits that grow Texas is call-
ed on and responds. When lumber
is wanted to build northern houses
Texas mills furnish it; when oil is
needed Texas pierces her bosom
with iron drills and it gushes forth
in untold quantities; when the vast
wheat supply in the north runs
short Texas comes to the rescue;
when the rice crop of other coun-
tries fail Texas is "Johnnie on
the spot" with rice for the whole
world; when wool is wanted Tex-
s sheep shed their fleece and sup-
ply the demand; when leather is
wanted to make shoes for the peo-
ple of the north Texiis cattle give
up their hides for the public good;
when there is a call for quicksilver
Texas answers "here;" "when
horses and mules are wanted to
restock the farms and randies of
devastated countries Texas fur-
ntehes the best; when men are
wanted to defend the flag of the
country there is a stampede of
Texan to get to the front first;
when the Democratic party needs
spellbinders to the Democracy and
good government to the benighted
people of the north Texas sends
her gifted sons to the stump; when
turkeys are wanted for northern
Thanksgiving dinners just after a
Presidential election and eggs to
make a Christmas egg-nog Texas
poultry yards are equal to the de-
mand; when northern bees quit
work and go on a strike Texas
bees rush to the rescue and furnish
the finest hotiey the world ever
saw; and in fact when anything
is wanted by the people of the
north that they haven't in stock
they turn to Texas and she does
not disappoint them. If the devil
should run short of sulphur all he
would have to do would be to draw
a requisition on gfcuid old Texas
and he could get all of that article
he wanted. The fact of the matter
is Texas is the storehouse of ' the
world' and only theu door of one
room in it has opened. Let's nn-
lock another floor ' and shovwhat
the old commonwealth.has. Long-
view Times-Herald.
Pays $500 and Takes Bride.
Chicago 111. A. C. Tisdelle
head of a banking institution at
94 La Salle street today paid to
the West Side Bachelor Club a
forfeit of $500 for marrying. He
led to the altar at St. Jarlath's
Roman Catholic Church this morn
ing MissLoretta Cantwell daught
er ot l nomas A. Cantwell. Mr.
and Mrs. Tisdelle left for an ex
tended tour of the East. Before
going Mr. Tisdellesaid:
I could hardly have believed it
was I who was going to lend that
pretty girl to the altar if I hadn't
seen a reflection of myself this
morning dressed in a frock coat in
business hours. There was a time.
about seven years ago. when I
promised myself and a lot of my
bachelqr chums I never would
many. A score of other chaps
were foolish enough to entertain
similar notions and we got up the
Bachelors Club and made it a
rule of the organization that any
man of us who should take oiv
matrimony should be summarily
expelled after having been com
pelled topay S500 into the treasury
of the club. ' x
"Claude (D'wcns .former' secre
tary of the club was onejjf. the'
men .who fell from gracea few
months ago. Of sourse he be
came an immediate exile and I
pitied him but -well I guess it
is not for me to tell the rest excent
that here I am married short
500 and quite the happiest bach-
elor traitor that the sun shines
on."
Mr. Tisdelle met Miss Cantwell
at a dinner given by Mr. Owen.
It was not fate but Mrs. Owen
who decreed that Mr. 'Tisdelle
should be seated at the table next
to the girl he married today. He
quickly discovered that Miss Cant-
well was good to look upon. Be-
ing a woman of many graces and
highly educated at a seminary for
girls on the Hudson as well as at
Northwestern Uniyersity Miss
Cantwell also convinced Mr. Tis-
delle she was unusually interest-
ing. There were furtive glances
between other guests at the table
and significent smiles and nods
but Mr. Tisdelle di$ not under-
stand until he had gone home how
he had fallen in love.
Being former president and one
of the founders of the Bachelors'
Club Mr. Tisdelle knew he would
be an arch traitor if he should
desert the ranks. Other members
of the club chaffed him recalled
his pledge of seven years ago and
pleaded against disloyalty but it
was no use. The wedding today
was his ultimatum and his $500
will go toward furnishing a dinner
for members of the club in good
standing and those who have been
dishonorably discharged.
Don't Be Discontented
The married woman nowadays
is frequently the discontented wo-
man. And the reason is that she
has ma'cle the great mistake in al-
lowing herself to say discontented
words and think discontented
thoughts until imaginary griev-
ances have become genuine ones.
In all the world there is nothing
so precious as a good man's love;
nothing can equal that; and the
woman who cries out because her
home is not so fine as her neigh-
bor's or because she has not so
many dresses and is discontented
with her lot will find that she will
gradually estrange the love that is
hers.
Make the best of things. It is
homely advice but as valuable to-
day as ever it was. Shake off your
discontent. Put it behind vou as
ignoble and unworthy. Remember
'that one optimist is worth a dozen
pessimists.
Think always how much worse
off you might have been not in-.
cessantly how much better off you
"ought to be. You might have mar-
ried a millionaire! Just so but you
might have married a mendicant.
Show a smiling face at home and
a tranquil one abroad: be too proud
to complain if you have cause of
grievance too wise to affect cause
if you have none and above all
take a lesson from the most human
of poets and the most poetical of
human beings and "thank heaven
fasting for a good man's love"

Of Household Interest.
Housecleaning is not the pleas-
antest of the housekeeper's tasks
but none the less necessary on that
account. In the September Delin-
eator Isabel Gordon Curtis offers in
her series 'The Making of a
Housewife" some suggestions that
will tend to lighten the labor and
lessen the disagreeableness of this
household duty. Other items of
domestic interest in the same num-
ber are illustrated cookery and a
.variety of recipes under the topics
Delicious Cream Jellies" "De
corative Color Salads" and "The
Potato." In addition Alice M.
Kellogg explains How to Select
Finishing Hardware" and Ward
MacLeod writes on "Growing

A NOVEL PROCESS.
Crucial Demonstration That Rubber
Can be Extracted From Guayule.
A very interesting novel and
even instructive scene took place
during yesterday afternoon at an
informal gathering of hotel cor.-
ridor philosophers who were en-
gaged in their usual arduous and
strenuous task of making irrelevant
comment on the passing day. The
tone of conversation drifted from
the abstract to the particular when
one among them who had Just
come from Mexico called attention
to a wonderful herb which grows
in ( large quantities over a wide
stretch of country on the plateau
between San Luis PotosJ and Ca-
torce. This plant is the celebrat-
ed rubber plant or guayule whose
remarkable properties are just be-
ginning to cause it to be exploited
on an ever increasing scale.
The interesting feature however1
was that the gentleman had a
quantity of samples of the highly
gummy or resinous . shrub with
him and that he claimed that the
rubber could be extracted by chew-
ing. He produced a portion f n
cord of the wood and apportioned
it around among those present for
personal test. This was to be done
by chewing. As the woody fiber
is thoroughly macerated by mas-
tication a small pellet of india-
rubber so explained the introducer
of the new industry is formed in
the mouth.
Within several minutes all con-
versation had ceased its place hav-
ing been usurped by an ordeal of
chewing and spitting. Never dicl
a crowd of people become so inter-
ested and involved in a pass-
ing avocation as did thqse cred-
ulous persons in their new o.Or
cupntion. . No one seemed to
mistrust the gastronomical effect
that swallowing the juice of
this unknown herb might have
upon them or that their experi-
ment would be an irremunerative
one. So as faith is said to bring
about all things after about an
hour of hard labor it even brought
about rubber or something very
closely allied to that very useful
substance. Every one of them
finally found hifnself rewarded by
a rich guerdeon of gummy sticky
stuff in the shape of a rubber ball
bouncing about within- a mouth
very tired from loss of saliva and
overwork.
But the practicability of extract-
ing rubber from guayule was de-
monstrated fully and if the severe
and heroic experiment of yester-
day afternoon does not result Jn
bringing about the organization of
a company for the purpose of estab-
lishing a factory for that purpose
at an early date in Laredo it will
be because they don't chdws.La-

DickTurpin's Hiding Place.
Workmen engaged in tearing
down the Plough Inn at Little
Ealing discovered a secret chamber
yesterday. It was elaborately
furnished in old oak.
The house.is over five hundred
years old and at one time beltfng-
ed to the grandmother of Dick
Turpin the famous highwayman.
The chamber is supposed to have
been his retreat when too closely
pursued. London Mail.
The twelfth carl of Derby is un-
known to the reader of the ordin-
ary history book. Lovers of art
know him vaguely as the peer who
married the pretty and popular
actress Eliza Farrtn whom the
young Lawrence painted so bril-
liantly says the London Chronicle.
But the earl had his revenge yes-
terday when all the world and his
wife flocked to-Epsom to see the
race for the Derby stakes. For that
race in its institution in 1780 was
named after the jovial young peer
who was one of the leading patrons
of the Georgian turf.
