An editor was sitting in his
office one day, when a man
entered whose brow was clothed
with thunder.
"Are you the editor?'' he
asked.
"Yes."
"Read that, then," he said,
thrusting at the editor an envel-
ope witn an inscription on it.
"B—p J said the editor, trying
ot spall it.

KEEP WIFE AS '
SWEETHEART
If your wife does not love you
as she did when you married,
you must have fallen off in your
attentions. Remember that a
wife is dnly a sweetheart a few
years'later. Make believe that
t
she is still your sweetheart.
When you go home from bus-
iness have the utsed send your
name up just as in the old days.
A wife likes these little atten-
tions. and if she is the right
sort she will seatf down word,
that she will be .down In a few
minutes. Then put a five pound
box of candy in a prominent
place and wait patiently. When
you hear her coming, run to
meet her and kiss her in a manly
way as if you had waited all
day for the privilege. Then
give her the eandy. If there is
but one ohair in the room let
her sit ia it while you stand.
Now tell her the eyents of the
day in tjhe office in a witty way
that w:ll appeal to her love of
fun.
When the dinger bell rings,
band her a bunch of American
beauties* pull out her chair for
her and tie her Qppkin around
her neck yourself, Then, with
a low bdw seat yourself opposite
her and begin to praise the food.
Ask her to make sprightly re-
marks, and laugh heartily at
them. Urge her to tell you

AMARILLO JUDGE
DEFIES THE STATE
AUTHORITIES
Amariilo Sept. 21.—Defying
the rules of the state comptrol-
ler, and declaring that he would
not rtllow it to override the will
of the people, County Judge
Jetter today issued eight liquor
license for Potter county,? the
biggest stroke yet ia the intense
battle for state, and county su-
premecy that will determine
whether Potter county shall re-
main dry. i
It is probable that the state
comptroller will be mandamus-
sed, as he refuses to send a re
ceipt for the occupation fax. At
any event, the court of appeals
will probably take action on the
old case a week from next Mon-
day.
Judge Jeter consulted both
prohibition and anti-prohibition
lawyers before be issued the
permits.
"I shall not override the will
of the people," he said, "It
seems that the janitor io the
attorney generals office has be en
rendering decisions in the Potter
county case." +'*
All of the antis and fully
per cent of the pxohibAtio.r
of the county are insensed
the action of officials at A
reversing the recent el
when Potter couQty went wet
by a majority of sixty votes.
It ia said openly that (governor
Tom Cambell has dealt another
blow to Amariilo, the town he
hates most in the state. It is
the general opinion that the de-
cision of the state comptroller
has only a retro-active bearing
and that since it is nearly three
years since the former election
the voters have a right to hold
another election.
ONLY JUST BEGUN
MANY MARRIAGE CERTIFICATES
ARE FOUND TO RE IRREGULAR
Have yon ever stopped to
think that the development of
Texas had only just begun?
Have you ever stopped to com-
pare conditions in this State
with conditions in Illinois, Indi-
ana, Ioway or other States of
the Central West whose soil is
no better, whose climate condit
ions are not as good? Uave! marries
you ever figured out what the
possibilities Of Texas ta re if she
keeps right on growing as she
is oound to do? Honestly when
you sit down and put your mind
on the problem it' grows and
grows until! you are almost, un
able to comprehend the possi-
bilities that- are ahead, of this
State. Texians themselves do
*not realize what k change is
going to take place in the next
decade even, —Denis©n Herald.
An exchange says:
An examintaion of the mar-
riage records in the county
clerk's office discloses the fact
that many ministers who per-
form marriage ceremonies fail to
designate their authorities in
returning marriage license for
record, by adding to their sig-
nature their official title. Many
of them merely sign their name
to the minister's certificate,
without stating, as the law re-
quires, that they are ministers
of the gospel or otherwise au-
thorized to marry people. Ttie
importance of this matter be-
comes evident when one con-
ciders the fact that the record
of the lic6usea returned with
proper certificate that parties
have been legally married.
For instance, where a minister
a couple and merely
signs his name "John Jones"
or what ever it may be, fo the
certificate, there is nothing to
show that he was authorized to
perform the ceremony. After
the minister is dead, or moved
away, litigation might come up
in which the legality of tha
marriage or legitimacy of the
offspring would be questioned,
and there might be no way to
prove that the person whose
name is signed to the certificate
was authorized to marry people.
The matter is a very serious
one and all ministers should see
that their oficial title is desig-
nated when they sign their cer-
tificate. Just why some of
them are so careless about the
matter is hard to conjecture,
unless they feel their importance
so much that they think all
posterity will lcuow that they
once preached in this oountry,
and that the courts of the future
in passing on the legality of
soch mariages will take judicial
cognizance of the fact that they
were preachers. Many minis-
ters who are more or less prom-
inent now will hardly leave
their footprints so indelibly
pressed upon the sands of time
that it can be proven fifty years
form now that they were author-
ized by law to perform marriage
ceremonies, hence it would be
best for them to make proper
returns on the licences they re-
turn for record. It is believed
that the county clerk should re-
turn for correction all such
license before he records them.

'Then take the fifth verse. In
the original manuscript it said,
plain as daylight, 'Take away

WHAT EDUCATION
IS AND DOES
Education does not mean the
mere ability to read and write,
nor far less does it mean the
ability to compute and find cal-
culus. Education does mean a
broadening of the mental view,
a widening of the sympathies, a
development of the moral hori-
zon. Education makes us bet-
ter men and women, as well as
richer in worldly wealth. It
makes us more abundantly able
to meet our obligations to our
fellow men and women, to cheer
the discouraged, to help the un-
fortunate. ft does no superfi-
cial luxury, no idle accomplish-
ments. Education is the dividin
ine ~ between civilization an
slavagery. The divilized man
reooguizss education as one of
his dearest posessions. The
savage man neither possessed it
nor does he desire it.—Selected.

Never light a cigar untill you
haveask her whether she objects
to smoke. She may^ always say
nd, but there is no telling when
her taste may change, and no
gentleman will smoke when his
wife objects to it. Give her
twice as much as she wants for
an allowance, a ad always fore-
stall any request she may be
about to make.
WHY NOT KEEP YOUR
MONEY AT HOME?
The people of a town and
country are as a large family,
what benefits one directly or in-
directly benefits all. When we
send money away from our town
t<j> purchase articles that can be
had here, we are not only weak-
ening the merchants who should
recoive this trade, but are work-
ing a hardship upon tbe town as
a whole. The commercial and
industrial worth of a town is
just as substantial as the people
living in and around it make it.
If you will always keep before
you the fact that the more trade
you direct to the home merchant
the better prepared he is toward
assisting with every progressive
movement, you will never leave
the city to trade, no matter il
you believe you oan save a few
cents thereby. The commercial
worth of the local merchant is-
of vastly more importance thjm
any immodiate trade advantage
ycu might reoeivo by going out
from your towu to trad*.—-Ex.
