The outcry of the public libraries
against the women who mutilate or
steal the periodicals In the reading
rooms reminds one that in the eight-
eenth century the public newspaper
reading room was an illegal in»titu-
tion. In September, 1790, three pro-
prietors of such reading rooms were
prosecuted by the stamp office author-
ities and were each fined £5 for al-
lowing the useot their rooms and
newspapers to the public on payment
of Id for admission. The stamp office

It Is the letter you write to people,
after you have been a guest at their
house, telling them what a delightful
time you had “under their hospitable
roof,” and thanking them for all the
generous favors you enjoyed at their
frlendly hands, and expressing the sin-
cere hope that the baby has got over
her cold. Nowadays, Instead of writ-
ing this graceful letter, you generally
call your friend up on the telephone,
you tell him that the train made good
connections, and you add: “My that
was a bully time I had out there, old
man!” Not so nice as the old episto-
lary way, but better than nothing; for
when you have had a friend at your
house and he has taken his departure
you do not like to feel that he has
gone into the outer void that he has,
fallen off the edge of the world into
echoless space. That is what It
amounts to when he gets home and
writes not nor telephones and gives
no sign.—New York Mall.

Unable to Prevent Theft
Despite the precautions which are
taken to prevent theft, it is said that
gold to the value of $5,000,000 is an-
nually stolen from the mines on the
Rand, South Africa. This thievery is
done systematically, and although a
corps of detectives are employed for
the purpose of detecting theft, there
have been no convictions for a long
time. There is a woman who has
grown very wealthy In the business
of buying gold, and although the of-
ficials are sure of her nefarious call-
ing, all efforts to trap her have been
unsuccessful. Special laws have been
.passed to meet the requiremc of
the gold mines, but even that has been
ineffectual.

with his adored one in the sign-las-

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE.
To the Hon. Frank S. Roberts, Judge
of the 22nd Judicial District of Texas:
We, the Finance Committee, ap-
pointed by your Honor at the January
Term of your Court beg leave to re-
port as follows:
That we have examined' all the
books, vouchers, accounts, reports and
orders of (he Commisioners’ Court of
Austin county, relating to the finances
of said county that have not been ex-
amined and reported upon by a pre-
vious committee, and find them correct,
with the exception of a few immaterial
errors and omissions which we believe
will be corrected by the proper officers
We have also examined the balances
as shown by the books, and reports of
the County Treasurer to October 31,
1912, and find them to correspond with
the balancesin the County Depositories
at that time,
We further beg to report that we
have examined the books, and reports'
of the available State and County
School Fund for the year ending
August 31, 19)1, and have compared
' the balances as shown by said books
and reports with the balance to the
credit of said fund in Depository, and
find them correct
Respectfully submitted.

Children, as a rule, have a natural
sense of courtesy too often misunder-
stopd or deprecated by the unthink-
lug adult. For some strange and in-
comprehensible reason therehild who
is brusque and blunt la apt to be
dubbed “natural," while the budding
man or yoman of gentle tact and
sweet politeness sometimes ie-aTs-
couraged by the prexallmg belief that
such conduct must be ipsincere. Yet
the simplest “little, citizens" not In-
frequently rise to an unexpected or
trying situation with surprising, but
quite untutored, gifts) and grace." A
pretty little tale is told, for Instance,
of the time when the present dowager
queen, Margherita of Italy, was' the
lovely young bride of the youthful
crown prince.
Her majesty, phasing through one of
the hin towns, was accorded the usual
reception by the residents. A little
boy was to present the usual bouquet,
and he, coming of fine literary family,
had been taught a brief poem offering
graceful praise.of the princess. But
when came the moment for delivering
flowers and vrses the little fellow,
overcome by nervousness or some sim-
ilar emotion, stood mutely gazing at
the great lady, saying, never a word.
After a few moments thejympathetie
princess, seeking to relieve the situa-
tion, extended her hand for the flow-
ers.
The little fellow, waking to Uto
suddenly, yielded them gracefully, ex-
plaining confidentially the While: '

you are so beautiful that I can't re-

At the end of a day's journey on
horseback he stopped at a small but
occupied by a man and his wtfe,the
pride of whose lives was a cow named
Clarice. Now it so happened that at
the time of Farnum's Visit .the cow
dountry was in the grip of a disease
peculiar to the bovine species. Hun-
dreds of cattle were being mowed
down monthly by its terrible ravages,
and the farmer and his wife were hap-
py that so- far their beloved Clarice
had escaped.
But, alas! Their joy was short-
lived. On the very night that ar-
num put up at the hut Clarice suc-
cumbed and lay herself down on her
pallet of straw with every indication
that she was resigned to journey into
the great beyond. (
The farmer and his spouse work in
despair, and Farnum was called'on
for help. He suggested that they
make a large poultice, apply it to the
afflicted parts and cover Clarice with
blankets for the night. This was done
and the rurals retired to pray.
But the cow country supports a
band of' men who make it their busi-
ness to find stricken cattle, strip them
of their hides and sell them, and a
pair of these nocturnal visitors found
Clarice—dead. They deftly removed
her hide, replaced the blanket around
her nude form and departed in search
of the next victim.
At sunrise the farmer got himself
out of bed and went to see how his
beloved Clarice, was faring. Lting
the edge of the blanket he uttered a
cry of horror. Out of the hut rushed
his wife, followed by the actor.
“What’s the matter?” asked the lat-
ter.
"Mater," shrieked the farmer, “by
heck, you made the plaster too
strong!”
Plant an acre of cucumbers and earn

Good roads are less expensive to the
farmer than bad roads They give a
longer life to vehicles, teams and
harness and at the same time make it
possible to draw heavier loads to and
from the farm and thereby greatly fa-
cilitating the work imposed upon the
farm team and laborer. Bad roads
are expensive in more ways than one
and the longer they are maintained
the more they cost the county and her
people. There is no good reason why
any county should have anything ex-
cept good macadamized highways.—Ex.

Jefferson interrupted the stream of

much. You are very kind." If the in-
cident had only ended here! But the
Terre Haute gentleman went on: “I

People with kidney ills want to be I
cured. When one suffers the torture A
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve, but not permanent-
ly. Doan’s Kidney Pills have brought
lasting results to thousands Here is
proof of merit from this vicinity.
John L. Perry, Columbus, Tex., says:
“About a year and a half ago I was
taken with with what I believed was
kidney trouble. My limbs and feet
bezan to swell and the doctor I con-
sulted said I had Bright’s disease. I
received no relief from his treatment
and consulted another physician. He
told me I had dropsy and that my
death was only a question of months.
A friend, bearing of my condition,
advised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills.
I procured a box and they brought
prompt relief. After taking the con-
tents of a few boxes of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, I was able to get around with
ease. I can say I owe my life to the
curative powers of this remedy. I
always keep Doan’s Kidney Pills on
hand and take a few doses occasionally'
with the best of results.” 1 _
