Meridian was well represented at
the Queen’s Ball given at the Cotton
Palace on Tuesday evening. Those
who attended pronounce this one of
the most elaborate and interesting
events ever staged at this exposition.
In last Saturday’s Lampasas Daily
Leader appeared! the following article
concerning J. E. Hooper, father of
Mrs. Ralph Wingren, of this place,
and the Tribune takes this opportu-
nity of joining Mrs. Wingren’s many
friends in extending to her our
sympathy in her sad bereavement:
“For several days death had been
hovering near, the beside of J. E.
Hooper, and at 12:30 Saturday morn-
ing his spirit took its flight and left
the body ‘which had been it home for
68 years. The deceased was born in
Coffeyville, Texas, in 1856, and in
1900 he came to Lampasas and dur-
ing these twenty-four years he has
been engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness where he built up a remunerative
business, and has occupied the same
building practically all the time.
The deceased was not a man who
took active part in the affairs of life,
but he was always found on the
right side of moral questions and he
possessed a kind heart that respond-
ed to every call of need and his quiet
influence was felt and respected. He
was a member of the Methodist
church and held membership in the
W. 0. W. lodge.
“He is survived by his wife and six
children, as follows: Mrs. Benton
Roberts and Mrs. Kyle Oliver

THE TELEGRAPHY TOUCH.
There is a magic association with
telegraphy that few men and beys
are able to resist. The people who
follow the impulse to take up teleg-
raphy as a profession usually make
good beyond their expectations and
claim that reward which accompanies
the knowledge of this profitable vo-
cation. 6
Every successful railroad man has
sometime in his career worked a tel-
egraphy trick. This explains why
there is a wide open field for teleg-
raphers. Operators are promoted to
other branches of railroading. They
don’t remain telegraphers for long.
The absolute accuracy they learn
while operating the key places them
in direct line for agencies, chief dis-
patchers jobs, and positions in the
operating department of railroads or
executive positions.
The railroads are showing unusual
interest in the Telegraphy Depart-
ment of Tyler Commercial College,
at Tyler, Texas. One of their local
railroads supplies messages to the
advanced students. The main line of
St. . Louis Southwestern Railroad
Company Dispatchers’ train order
wire, running into the Telegraphy
Department, supplies all messages
transmitted from station to station.
The College is supplied with every
book, tariff, report blanks, and every’
form that is used in the railroad
office.
Soon after the Cotton Belt began
to supply the College with regular
railroad blanks, a wire to receive real
messages and began to assist the in-
structors in the teaching of station
work, the Manager of the Tyler Office
of the Western Union Telegraph
Company visited the Telegraphy De-
partment and arranged for similar
work to be done in the Westen Union
line. The General Western Union
Course is offered to all young women
and / young men interested in Com-
mercial Telegraphy’ and likely to
enter the employ of the Western
Union Company. Tariffs, books,
blanks, Daily and Monthly Report
Blanks and all other supplies are fur-
nished by the Western Union. Type-
writers, files and complete instru-
ments are in the Western Union De-
partment at Tyler Commercial Col-
lege.
By having the Western Union Tel-
egraph Company to advise’ the stu-
dents causes the Tyler Commercial
College to have more calls for oper-
ators than can be supplied. Gradu-
ates of the General Western Union
Course can be placed in positions
promptly.
The General Railroad and General
Western Union courses are described
briefly in the 208-page book, "Achiev-
ing Success in Business.” A copy of
this book is yours if you are interest-
ed in courses offered. Clip the cou-
pon which is below and send it to
Tyler Commercial College.
You may take the course of Teleg-
raphy in combination with the Gen-
eral Secretarial, General Business,
To break up a cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe,, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calotabs, the nausealess
Calomel tablet, that is purified from dan-
gerous and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it .acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style calomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians.
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of water,—that’s all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morn-
ing your cold has, vanished and your sys-
tem feels refreshed and purified. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family pack-
age. Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists. Your money back if you are not
delighted.—adv.
A GIFT THAT IS A COMPLIMENT.
In the gift you receive you’can some-
times see yourself as others see you,
and the view is not always flattering.
It may be a jazz record,- or a gaudy
tie, or a book that you would hate to
have found on you if an auto bumped
you into dreamland. And you can’t
really blame the giver. Knowing
you well he concludes that you crave
that sort of thing. On the other
hand his gift may convey a subtile
compliment—a gift of The Compan-
ion for instance. It is a tribute to
your good taste, to, a certain idealism
he has perceived in your make-up, to
the impression you give that life is
real and earnest and not merely a
game of skittles. You may be sure
that anybody who thinks slightly of
The Companion as a gift is himself
making life a game of skittles—and
very little else.
