Do You Want the Law?
I have been the subject of some
criticism recently for data I
furnished the late grand jury.
Ever since I have been in office
I have been trying to enforc the
Sunday law and the law against
gambling.
I take dates and names given
me, or as I observe suspected
violations of the laws, and then I
turn them in to the grand jury,
as the mayor has no criminal
jurisdiction, and yet is under a
severe oath to see that all laws
are enforced.
I expect to continue to do my
best to see the laws enforced.
I am not mad, nor am I writ-
ing a threat or an apology, but a
mild warning all data I get will
go before the next grand jury.
If there are enough people in
Belton who want the laws en-
forced we will have it done, and
if not, then repeal the laws and
let the old town go to the bow-
wows.
I will give $20.00 each Monday
morning for evidence that will
convict any person for violating
the Sunday law.
D. E. Patterson, Mayor.

PROCESS OF MAKING DOLLS
Important Industry That Is Conducted
In the German Town of
Weimar.
Consul Will L. Lowrie of Wei-
mar furnishes the following infor-
mation concerning the different
stages by which dolls are manufac-
tured in that important German
city. He says:
Only the assembling of the vari-
ous parts of the dolls, painting the
bodies, arms and legs, and sticking
on the wigs is done at the factory.
Each figure passes through about 20
hands before it reaches completion,
the raw material being taken to the
homes of the work people and then
returned to the factory. The work
1b all specialized, and.each time a
new process takes place in the evolu-
tion of a doll it is done by certain
employes who are more or less ex-
perts. Bodies are made mostly of
paper, although kid is also used ex-
tens Wei y. They are molded at the
homes or stamped out in heavy iron
molds at factories devoted entirely
to this feature. All sizes of dolls
are made, from a few inches in
length to more than three feet Tho
hair is Angora wool from England,
which also supplies the rubber (elas-
tics), stretched to keep the arms and
legs in place. Styles change each
year and the n^anufacturers must
keep in touch with the modes.
Salt Of The Earth.
I have just received a car load
of Michigan salt, the Kind they
salt down hog meat with, and I
find that I have too much and
somebody must buy some of it.
I am selling it at a bargain for
a while till I reduce my stock.
Come early if you want it cheap.

CROWN TO HER HUSBAND.
An old-fashioned English stone-
mason is employed in a yard in
upper Hoboken to chisel tombstones.
He makos $3.40 a day as against
$2.33 in the old country. He lost
his job recently, and there was some
protest, to which the manager re-
plied : "He is a splendid workman,
but he is always getting us in trou-
ble. Why, the other day a party or-
dered a headstone with this inscrip-
tion—'A Virtuous Woman la a
Crown to Her Husband.' You see,
ha wanted something for hia depart-
ed wife's grave. What do yon aup-
poae our Englishman did! The atone
being a little narrow, ha contracted
the sentence thua—'A , Virtuous
Woman ia Se to Her Huaband.' Am
W9 couldn't stand the fivs-ahilling
business be had to drop him."—N.

NEW YORK PIRE BOATS.
The new fire boats James Duane
and Thomas Willett, built for the
New York fire department, enjoy the
double distinction of being the
largest boats used for this purpose
and the first boats of this character
fitted with turbine-driven pumps.
They have a deck length of 131 feet,
beam 27 feet and depth of 14 feet.
On a high steel water tower aft, on
the two deck turrets and above the
pilot- house, four three-inch nozzles
are mounted, from which a total of
12,000 gallons of water per minute
can be thrown while the boat ia mov-
ing at full speed. When only one
of these nozzles is left open and the
pumps are oonnected in series, a
pressure of 315 pounds at the pumps
and of 230 pounds at the nozsle
throws a stream of water of 300 gal-
lone per minute to a height of 300
feet and a distance of over 400 feet
about vegetables.
It is safe to sny that it is rather a
new discovery that vegetables are en-
dowed with qualities which are
transmitted to those who feed upon
the kindly fruits of the earth. These
qualities are physical, moral and in-
tellectual. If we desire to develop
the reasoning powers and to endow
the equilibrium of the mind with
calmness and concentration we must
eat potatoes, but we must at the
same time remember that overindul-
gence in that succulent root may
produce apathy and indifference.
Carrots produce good temper and
are strongly recommended to peevish
and bilious poople. French beans—
the haricot vert of our French friends
—lead to day-dreaming and artistio
thoughts and sentiments, and no
better food for authors and journal-
ists can be found.—Lady's Pictorial.

BIG CIRCUS AT WACO.
Barnum & Bailey Show to Exhibit
There October 8.
The Barnum and Bailey Greatest
! Show on earth will give two perfor
I mances in Waco, October 8, thus af-
fording an opportunity to the people
I of this city to visit the greatest
| amusement enterprise the world has
j ever known.
I For fifty-four years the Barnunr.
' and Bailey show has led the world,
in all matters pertaining to big,
amusements. There is not a coun-
try on earth where it is not as well
known as in America, nor a city of
any size in -the world where its mam-
moth tents have not been pitched-
Royalty has applauded it and the
peasantry has marveled at it, and all
the world, civilized and savage, has
contributed to Its multiplicity of at-
tractions.
The spirit of its great founder, one
one of the most wonderful men in
all history, P. T. Barnum, still lives
in the policy of the present manage-
ment, while the perfect system put
into operation by the great James A.
Bailey, is still in operation. This
season the show is much larger than
ever before, and additional Interest
attaches to it because the parade, a
feature which for several seasons has.
been missing, is again in its cus-
tomary place.
For four years artists, sculptors
and mechanics have been workingr
day and night at the foreign work-
shops of tho show at Rtock-on-Trent,
England, building this great street
pageant, and the result of their la-
bors now is expressing itself in the
most costly and longest street parade
that ever passed through the streets-
of any city.

DANCING GOOD EXERCISE.
Mr. Gilbert, speaking to the stu-
dents in the summer school at Har-
vard college, recently, said that the
waltz was the typical American
dance, but that all dancing had de-
teriorated within the last few years.
Dancing he considers the best form
of exercise, as all others become tire-
some, while music makes the dance
a pleasure, and besides the hygienio
effects are of the best Of course
dancing is only good when not car-
ried to excess.
