Little Visits with "Uncle By."
Senator Culberson is spend-
ing his vacation looking after the
interests of the people of Texas
endeavoring to promote the suc-
cess of the Democratic party in
the national election this year.
"Our Charley" made good when
as Governor he stopped the prize
tight in Dallas and he has been
making good ever since.
The Prohibition party of Tex-
as has nominated as candidates
for governor and lieutenant gov-
ernor of Texas Judge E. C.
Heath of Rockwall and Ed Rogers
of Ilillsboro, the latter an old
Tennessee neighbor of the editor
of this paper. They are both
tine men but they will show up
with a very small vote this fall.
LEFT MONTE CRISTO BEHIND
A. J. McCaulky, a prominent
negro lawyer of Dallas, an-
nounces that he will vote the
Democratic ticket hereafter. He
calls the Republican party the
Roosevelt-Taft-Hitchcock society.
McCauley has found out at last
that the only use the Republican
party has for the negro is for
his vote.
Mesquite always pays the
highest market price for cotton.
The "Boss of the Rio Grande,"
James B. Wells, is evidently
leading the simple life these
days.
It is generally admitted that
the plank in the Republican state
platform declaring for local op-
tion was put there for the ex-
press purpose of catching votes.
A party platform ought always
to represent the honest views of
the people who constitue the
party but the Republican party
of Texas is foolish to do other-
wise, since they will not catch
enough votes to do any good, no
matter how they frame their
platform.
Col. Simpson, the Republicn
candidate for governor used to
be a Democrat, but now he is
just an autocrat.
For a sublime example of op-
tomism, commend us to the Pro-
hibition candidate for pi-esident
who says, "If I am elected pi-es-
ident, etc."
The fact that Richard Croker,
the former powerful leader of
Tammany Hall, is coming home
to help Bryan shows how the
Democrats are getting together.
c*t cost Governor Campbell
nearly half a year's salary to se-
cure the nomination for a second
term over an unknown. Glory
costs something these days, it
appears.
Political friends and enemies
alike of Senator Bailey hope that
the report that he is afflicted with
a fatal malady, cancer of the
throat, is exagerated and that his
ailments is not so serious.
The Fort Worth Record says
that if an effort had been made
at the State Democratic conven-
tion to especially indorse Attor-
ney General Davidson something
might have happened. But Dav-
idson didn't need it; the people
have already spoken.
Harry K. Thaw's lawyers saved
his neck but they didn't save his
fortune, as Thaw i s r.ow a bank-
rupt. In Texas Thaw wouldn't
have needed to much expert
testimony and so many lawyers.
He would never have been in-
dicted for tha killing of Stanford
White.
ijj Commoner Clippings. j£
From Bryan's Commoner:
The tilt of Mr. Joseph G. Can-
non's cigar is steadily down-
ward.
Mr. Roosevelt may not, after
all, need to go to Africa in order
to have a difficult search for an
elephant.
Following precedent the Re-
publican managers announce
they will make public the source
of campaign contributions "after
the election.
If the Republican vote falls otf
as great a per cent as the cost of
living shows an increase, Mr.
Taft will have to hustle to carry
Pennsylvania.
"The business of the country
is largely dependent upon a pro-
tective system of tariffs," says
Mr. Taft. "The victim of"
would have come much nearer to
the facts.
Senator Bouree of Oregon,
who offered a prize of $1,000 for
the best essay urging the re-
nomination of Roosevelt, is now
wondering whom he will hold re-
sponsible for the gold brick he
acquired.
Some of the administration
organs are visibly offended at
the prominence of Oklahoma at
the Denver convention. They
should bear in mind that the
Democratic aggressiveness of
Oklahoma at Denver is a sample
of the aggressiveness that made
Oklahoma a great state despite
Republican handicaps.
Excellent Health Advice,
Mrs. M. M. Davison, of No.
379 Gifford Ave., San Jose, Cal.,
says: "The worth of Elictrie
Bitters as a general family
remedy, for headache, bilions-
ness and torpor of the liver and
bowels is so pronounced that I
am prompted tc say a word in
its favor, for the benefit of those
seeking relief from such afflic-
tions. There is more health for
the digestive organs in a bottle
of Electric Bitters than in any
other remedy I know of." Sold

Chapman's drug store. 50c.

Every man is somebody's boy,
and somebody, somewhere loves
him. It may be a mother, a
father, a brother—or it may be
only the gray-haired veteran who
used to go fishing with him when
they were boys, but somewhere
there is someone who has not
forgotten, who will never forget.
Recently, while visiting in
Michigan, a gay young bride-to-
be lost her diamond ring while
playing tennis. A diligent and
tearful search availed nothing,
and the grieving woman went
ringless to bed. The next day
the farmer killed several chick-
ens for dinner, and almost the
first thing ho struck in the craw
of the largest of the birds was
six grasshoppers, a tumblebug,
a measuring worm and a blue-
bottle fly.

C. F. Jones of Hot Springs,

J. Jones.
Times seem to be improving,
J. W. Walker is building a new
addition to his residence.
Gus Lindsey is building a new

There was a candy breaking at

"Though not a rich man and not
over-inclined to waste money, never-
theless I spent cash with a reckless-
ness that was of the Monte Cristo
order while on a tour of Latin
American countries recently," said
Prof. P. C. Everett of Harvard uni-
versity.
"It was in the United States of
Colombia where my prodigality
reached its zenith. Meeting an old
friend, I asked him to dine with me,
and when I came to settle cheerfully
paid a check that called for $980.
Then I tipped the waiter to $10, and
paid $100 for two extra fine cigars.
"These figures are absolutely true,
but it is proper to state that the cost
of my dinner was estimated in the
currency of the country, and that it
stood me in reality only $9.80, one
dollar in our United States money
being worth $100 of the Colombian.
So is was that the waiter got at a
right valuation, only 40 cents, and
the two perfectos were 50 cent#
apiece on onr Yankee basis."
THE KHEDIVE as a POET.
It is not generally known that the
khedive of Egypt is a poet of no
mean order—in Arabic, of course.
Those who have read his verses speak
of them with enthusiasm. Abbas,
Hilmi's poetry is melodious, lofty in
theme and full of allegory, as are
most Arabian poems. In the course
of a former visit to England the
khedive sent the late Queen Victoria
a magnificent bouquet with one of
his poems. Here is a rough para-
phrase of one of the verses ; "I send
you this bouquet as a testimony of
the love of the Egyptian people.
Each rose, each lily, each jasmine,
represents the heart of an Egyptian,
and its perfume is the incense of a
prayer which mounts to heaven for
thee, O powerful queen, O flower of
queens."
last great canadian raft.
I ______
News comes from Ottawa to the
effect that a large timber raft is now
on its way down to Quebec, having
arrived at the capital from Desch-
enes. The raft was built on the
Coulogne river. The raft method
of transportation is fast becoming
'obsolete and it is thought that this
jmay be the last raft that will be
Iseen.
The raft is manned by 80 men,
with Noe Valiquette as head pilot.
■To get through any rapids it lias
been divided into separate cribs, the
cribs going down individually. The
value of the raft, which comprises
about 150,000 feet, is estimated at
from $80,000 to $100,000.—Quebec

An evangelist was holding a
revival meeting in a small south-
ern town not long ago. The con-
gregation was worked up to the
shouting point, when one of his
workers approached a boy with
whom he had often labored be-
fore.
"My boy," he said, "Don't
you want to go to Heaven?"
"No sir," replied the boy sol-
emnly, "not tonight."
Betty (who has just heard the
story of Gelert)—And did the man
really kill the dog, daddy?
Daddy—Yes. You see, he thought
it had killed his child. '
Betty—Would you do the same if
Don killed baby?
Daddy—Certainly.
