IF I HAD ONLY KNOWN.
I would not have bruised the baby heart
Nor marred its face witli tears ;
I would not have hushed the baby voice
I have not heard in years—
If I had only known.
I would not have been so stern and harsh
To those who went astray,
I would have gone in tenderest love,
And taught a better wav—
If I had only known.

Worn there by work and tears,
I would have smoothed in tenderness
And lengthened out her years—
If I had only known.
So many lives I might have blessed,
So many burdens lightened,
So much of helpfulness have brought,
So many homes have brightened—
If I had only known.

The needy cross my way ;
Help me that through the coming years
I may never have to say—

When a Lie is Excusable.
Henry Waldorf Francis, in the
Pacific monthly, says a lie is pop-
ularly considered justifiable on
the following cccasions:
Why They are Written in Latin.
The use of Latin by physicians
in prescription writing is com-
monly regarded as a harmless
survival of medievalism. Occa-
sionally a lay writer suggests its
abandonment. In commenting on
a recont note to this effect in a
daily paper, which advocates the
compulsory use of English in
prescriptions, the Druggist’s Cir-
cular and Chemical Gazette takes
occasion to make a strong de-
fense of the time-honored prac-
tice. Says this paper:
“Suppose the sapient writer quoted,
whose utterances may sound all right
to those who know no more of his sub-
ject than he does, should fall sick and
his physician should decide that the

When a mother asks you what you

When your best girl, whose hair is

lock got on your coat shoulder.
Most any time when the truth would
be embarrassing and you are sure a lie
will not be found out.
A Hindoo Proposal.
The following is a selection
from a proposal received by a
Hindoo father for the hand of his
daughter:
“Dear Sir: It is with a flattering
penmanship that I write to have com-
munication with you about the pros-
pective condition of your damsel off-
spring. For some remote time past a
secret passion has been fired in my
bosom internally with loving for your
daughter. I have navigated every
channel of the magnitude of my ex-
tensive jurisdiction to cruelly smother
the growing love knot that is being
constructed within my inside, but the
humid lamp of affection trimmed by
Cupid’s productive hand still nourishes
my love - sickened heart. Needless'
would it be for me to numerically ex-
teriorize the great conflagration that
has been generated in my head and
heart. My educational capabilities
have abandoned me, and here I now
cling to those lovely long tresses of
your much coveted daughter like a ma-
rine shipwrecked on the rock of love.”
A Cornelll student has invented
water shoes and walks on water
with ease. The shoes are of tin,
five feet long and fourteen inches
wide, with air chambers to buoy
up the walker. We know people
whom nature lias equipped with
an air chamber. It is for hot air
only, and is on the wrong end.
They ought to walk on water all
right by changing ends.—Van Al-
styne Leader.
English names for this drug. Suppose
he chose ‘redshanks’ and so wrote the
word in his prescription. When the
druggist went to prepare the medicine
he would find that ‘redshanks’ was the
English name of at least four entirely
different plants, namely, the one al-
ready mentioned, Polygonium amphi-
bium, Polygonium persicaria and Eu-
mex acetosa.
“As with redshanks, so with hun-
dreds of other drugs. Aaron’s beard
may be Cotinus continus, Cymbalaria
eymbalaria or saxifraga sarmentosa.
Of snakeroots there are numberless
kinds. Suppose the English-writing
doctor wanted to be sure of getting the
right kind, so specified black snake-
root, then is the druggist to dispense

VICTOR AND. VANQUISHED.
Henry Cunningham, who was
nominated for County Judge by a
handsome majority at Saturday’s
primary, is one of Fannin coun-
ty’s finest young men. He is an
able lawyer, a close student of
law and affairs and all who know
him are predicting that he will
make a fine record as judge. He
is well-poised, is the owner of a
happy, sunny disposition, makes
friends rapidly, and a friend once
made is never lost. We were not
for you, Henry, but we like you,
and congratulate you upon your
clean campaign and splendid vote.
Mr. T. E. Thrasher, who was
nominated for Commissioner Sat-
urday, is no stranger to this peo-
ple. He served one term and was
defeated for the second term by
the narrow margin of two votes.
His popularity was manifested by
the fine vote given him Saturday.
He carried six out of a total of
seven boxes.
Rosser Thomas, who was de-
feated for the important position
of County Judge, is a man the
Signal believes in thoroughly. If
he is not one of nature’s noble-
men he has had this writer fooled
for more than a dozen years.
Like many other candidates, he
was the victim of campaign re-
ports, and doubtless lost many
votes upon charges of which he
is as innocent as a babe. But
such is politics. Rosser Thomas
is an able man, a true friend, and
will be heard from again.
Frank Blair, who met defeat at
the hands of Mrs. Cope, is a very
popular.man, and it is doubtful
whether there is another man in
the county who could have made
a stronger race with a lady for an
opponent. He is a man of many
fine qualities and enjoys the con-
fidence of all.
The Marrying Squire.
Justice of the Peace W. F.
Boyett has been named by his
companions around the county
courthouse the “marrying
’squire.” This is indicative of
his proneness to perform wedding
ceremonies. Wednesday after-
noon Mr. Boyett celebrated his
300th wedding. He has been in
office since Nov. 17, 1904, and
during that period has adminis-
tered matrimonial vows moreoften
than any half dozen men in La-
mar county. On one occasion he
married three couples in his office
with a single ceremony. His best
day’s work was more than twelve
months ago, when he tied four
knots in less than fifteen hours.
—Paris News.
An old West Texan said to the
News man in Dallas Monday:
“You can say to prospectors that
this is the worst possible time for
them to look at western lands.
Rains have been plentiful, crops
are good, land is advancing rap-
idly, but I have tried the west
three times and have seen the hot
winds blast the finest crops in
twenty-four hours. Better wait
a little later before investing too
much.” This is from a reliable
man, and parties contemplating
moving to the west can take it
for what it’s worth.—Ex.
Is Disease a Crime ?
Not very Ions ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as crimirtal.
Certain it is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Nature’s-laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must, appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
It would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal,-to condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak-
nesses, various displacements of pelvic
organs and other derangements peculiar
to her sex.

Mrs. Mary Cope,., nominee for
District Clerk, is the first woman
ever nominated for an official po-
sition in Fannin county, and, so
far as we are informed, in Texas.
Her nomination is an innovation
in Fannin county politics and
many fear that a bad precedent
has been set. All speak in high-
est terms of Mrs. Cope. It is said
that she spent all her means in
settling the debts made by her
late husband during her long ill-
ness,and like the true good south-
ern woman that she is, is making
a brave fight for herself and little
ones. All sympathize with her
and congratulate her upon her
splendid race.

Harry Thaw, who deliberately
shot Stanford White to a finish in
New York a few weeks ago, is a
victim of the rotten social condi-
tions prevailing in upper-tendom
of Pittsburg—the rottenest of all
our cities socially. The young
man was spoiled by an indulgent
mother, who loaded the cub with
coin, and he in turn filled his
head with cigarette smoke, cham-
pagne corks and visions of
nymphs in short dresses. Instead
of feeding him on bacon and
mush and training him to play
solos oij a buck-saw, he was al-
lowed to go his own wicked way,
and a more accomplished master
of vice was never turned out. Of
course he had to marry an ac-
tress with a stain upon her soul—
one who had been caught with
the bait of gold wielded by a con-
summate scoundrel. The only
good deed credited to Thaw is the
killing of White, but his coward-
ly way of doing the job stamps
him a cur. The young degener-
ate will not be punished to any
extent because the power of mon-
ey is so great in the courts of our
country. He ought to be hanged
for his crime and left hanging as
a warning to all rich men to make
their sons earn their living in-
stead of throwing their money at
wine, cigarettes and fast women.
Joe Parrish, who was defeated
for Commissioner, served the peo-
ple of this precinct about six
years and it is general talk that
the county never had a better
Commissioner. He is a man of
sound judgment, is active, and
there’s no power that can turn
him from what he believes to be
right.
The Signal tenders congratula-
tions to all the successful and
sympathy to the unsuccessful.
May the good fortune of the for-
mer continue and the bad luck of
the latter make a decided change
for the better.
The Dallas County Convention
indorsed the courses of Senators
Bailey and Culberson in their
work for rate bill legislation. The
Texas Senators did not work or
vote alike on the rate bill, but
when a convention starts up its
work of endorsing it generally
endorses everything in sight.
And this reminds us that the Fan-
nin county convention endorsed
the splendid work of Barrett in
the Senate and Randell in Con-
gress. During the campaign Bar-
rett charged that Randell was a
very poor Congressman and Ran-
dell charged that Barrett was
strictly n. g. as a Senator. The
convention practically declared
that Barrett and Randell didn’t
know what they were talking
about by endorsing both.
The Houston Chronicle offered
a cash prize of $10 to the person
making the most correct estimate
of the vote for governor in his
county on the eve of the election.
That prize was won by a woman.
She disclaimed all knowledge of
political conditions, but shut her
eyes and guessed exactly the
number of votes each candidate
received in her county. Here-
after when you want to know
who will be elected ask a woman.
Brains His Wife and
Shoots Himself.
One of the most sickening trag-
edies ever reported in North Tex-
as was enacted at Tom Bean,
Grayson county, Sunday. J. C.
Wilder, who lived about one-half
a nthe from the town, killed his
wiffpby braining her with a
smoothing iron and immediately
afterward walked out on the
orch of his house and shot him-
lf with a shotgun, inflicting a
|gl wound. The charge of shot
en||red his left side, midway be-
twqRn the lower rib and the top
Jtthe hip bone and a little to the
mint and ranged upward, disem-
boweling him.
The tragedy was witnessed by
small children. The room where
it took place was spattered with
blood and presented evidence of
a struggle. The remains were
gashed apparently with a knife.
Wilder lived only a few hours.
The children, the oldest only 7
years old, were crazed with fear
and distressed beyond pacifica-
tion. They finally made their
way to a neighbor’s house and
gave the alarm.
William Randolph Hearst.
Dr. R. B. Sellers, of Comanche,
Texas, has been making an ex-
tended visit to New York City.
Being a man of affairs, he has
taken much interest in the great
American City. and has been
writing to the Chief some of his
observations, the last of which
refers to Hearst’s success in news-
paper work, and his wonderful
works of charity, the following
being an excerpt from Dr. Sel-
lers’ last letter:
“Three or four years ago he
was laughed at and called the
rich young fool, and it was said
that he was trying to buy his way
into political power. He came
here from San Francisco and be-
gan a daily paper, the A*meric,an.
For a few months he lostf^SOOO a
day, then $2000, then $1000, his
losses decreasing each month,
till Aow his papers netted him
clear last year over five million
dollars. WR&K Iras he done to
bring about this change ,of|ttpin-
ion as to his standing,., throne
hears on all sides? Theulerks in
stores talk about him, the street
car conducters swear by Hearst,
the daily laborer on the street
thinks he is a great man. He is
the poor man’s friend, Jerome
and the trusts hate him like sin.
He was elected Mayor last year
and cart loads^of ballots were
thrown into the river and he was
defrauded out of the office.
“This is what he is doing for
New York: For three years he
has kept a wagon on 5yj*Avenue
and Broadway, in "front of the
Flatiron building; during the
winter months each night, this
wagon is loaded with hot coffee
and bread, which is distributed
free to any who wants. Every
hour all night long a new wagon
with a fresh supply is brought
and thousands of poor, hungry,
cold men and women, boys and
girls, take advantage of this great
man’s goodness, and stand in
line to be fed. Then again dur-
ing the winter, hundreds of poor
families who are not able to meet
their rent “are turned out in the
street with nowhere to go. Last
winter Hearst rented homes for
three hundred of these families
and supplied them with food for
three months. He has in his of-
fice a free employment bureau,
where thousands are furnished
work each year without any cost.
He stays in his office and works
hard. There is no man in New
York who works harder than Mr.
Hearst, and the people as a mass,
the poor people, the honest peo-
ple love him and he will be the
next Governor of New York,
which will be a step to the Presi-
dency. New York would like to
give him that honor, for a man
who has so much of the milk of
human kindness in his heart to-
gether with his ability and money
would make a good leader of the
nation. No other millionaire L
doing one-tenth as much as he to
alleviate the sorrows and suffer-
ings of the poor.”
Rich Johnnie Brown.
Little Johnnie Brown, the
world’s richest child,lives at Prov-
idence, R. I., and is worth in his
own name fully ten millions of
dollars. He is but six*years old
and has inherited the principal
part of his father’s and uncle’s
estates. His mother has been so
worried over the fear that the
little millionaire will be kid-
napped that she has a force of
special detectives to guard his
every step. He has a small en-
closure in which he takes outdoor
exercise, but never knows the
freedom of the lawns and woods
like thousands of other little fel-
lows. His mother is spending
$50,000 a year to keep him from
being stolen and held for a ran-
som, and still she is reported as
being a nervous wreck, caused
by living in fear of his disap-
pearance. However, if little
Johnnie lives to man’s estate he
will have plenty of time to spend
his money and see the world
without fear of anyone stealing
him. As he will be worth at lest
$50,000,000 when he is twenty-
one years old, he will have a hard
time keeping some beautiful girl
from robbing him of his freedom.

How Tillman Lost His Eye.
Most people know that Senator
Tillman has lost an eye, but few
are aware how he sustained the
injury, Although his brothers
were old enough to serve in the
Confederacy, Benjamin was a
school boy of 15 when the civil
war began. He knew that at
16 he must join the Confederate
forces, and his brothers wrote
him from the fields entreating
him to get as much education as
possible, because the war might
last so long that he would never
again be able to go to school.
Even at night young Tillman
would continue his studies, fre-
quently carrying a lighted pine
knot into the woods and lying
down with his books beside it.
He was a lank, tall, silent boy,
dictatorial aii^ brusque, but a
natural student. The heat of the
pine torch injured his left eye,
and a plunge in cold water
brought on a tumor that destroy-
ed it. It was the two years’ ill-
ness. following this mishap that
prevented the youth from serving
in arms against the union.
Denaturized alcohol will prob-
ably become another great prod-
uct of the southern states. It is
claimed that cotton seed oil ma-
chinery is perfectly adapted to
making industrial alcohol from
the potato. If this is successful-
ly proven, the many cotton seed
oil mills of the south, which are
idle each summer for lack of ma-
terial, will be able to operate all
the time and keep all their em-
ployes together. Furthermore,
being already equipped with the
machinery they will no doubt be
able to manufacture the alcohol
very cheaply. Farmers would
also be benefited by the immense
demand for potatoes that would
result.
We’ve had the double primary
again. It was expensive, annoy-
ing, and prolonged the suspense
for two months, but it failed to
make a single change. The ques-
tion now is, do we need the double
primary any more?

‘‘Old Oaken • Bucket.”
A teacher once read “The Old
Oaken Bucket” to one of the pu-
pils, a little girl named Mary.
After he had finished the story,
he told Mary to draw a picture of
it. She drew a circle, three buck-
ets and ten or twelve little dots.
Then she took it up to the teach-
er. He said:
“The circle is for the well, but
what are the three buckets for?”
“One is the old oaken bucket,
another the iron-bound bucket
and the third the moss-covered
bucket that hung in the well,”
said Mary.
“Now, Mary,’’said the teacher,
Sound Sense.
A few days ago a man who had
served for years as a commis-
sioner for one of the most pop-
ular counties in Texas filed a
petition in bankruptcy. His li-
abilities were placed at a little
over $800, and his assets nearly
$2000, all of which he claimed
was exempt. Would not this
shock the sensibilities of any
honest man? Can a man take
advantage of the exemption law,
hold property in value more than
twice his liabilities and be con-
sidered an honest man or one to
be trusted? Yet this man has
held office in Texas for years and
was nominated for an office of
trust two days before he filed the
petition in bankruptcy to avoid
paying debts which are only a
triflle to any man able to work.
Strange it is that the people will
endorse such men. We elect
men of shady character or doubt-
ful morals to office and then re-
fuse to believe grafting possible

Shot a Woman.
A distressing accident occurred
at Fort Worth Saturday. A saucy
negro refused to give a lady a
seat on the street car and Sheriff
Dinwiddie, of Clarksville, who
was on the rear, remonstrated
with him. The negro gave the
sheriff some saucy talk and the
latter, pulled his gun and belabor-
ed the African over the head. In
striking the negro the pistol was
fired and the lady was seriously
wounded, though it is believed
she will recover. Mr. Dinwiddie
is a good man and of course is
deeply distressed over the acci-
dent. It is a matter of sincere
regret that he should have been
so unfortunate in an attempt to
do what was plainly his duty.
A model journal, perhaps, is a
journal that fights for everything
that is good and gives everything
that is bad a knock. It is against
graft, dishonesty, corruption,and
the wrong life always and every-
where. It shows up the evils of
church, state and society, and
fights human parasites that rob
the unsuspecting with the feroci-
ty of a Bengal tiger. It is a
friend to love, mercy, justice,
honor, truth and liberty, and an
enemy to hate, jealousy and gen-
eral hellishness. There are not
many model journals. There may
be some day, after the editors un-
dergo several reincarnations and
poverty skidoos from the edito-
rial sanctums.
When a young woman starts in

A few days since a Kansas couple
eloped to Kansas City to get
spliced. When they called upon
the county clerk for a marriage
license they found that he had
received a telegram from the
bride-to-be’s parents authorizing
him to issue the license. This
took all the romance out of the
affair and the ydung woman im-
mediately refused to wed.
