The country prees of Texas which
Bailey says in effect that he despises
is the power that made him a United
States senator at a time when he was
deserving. It will be the power that
will unmake him, now that he is not
deaerving. The fact that nioe-
tenths of the country press is against
* 'serving two masters,” may have
something to do with Bailey’s lack of
appreciation of the press of Texas.

The wax seems to worry a greet many
people, and la their concern they usual-
ly manage to seriously Interfere with
its functions. In tbe healthy ear the
wax, or cerumen, la a thin, yellowish
fluid that thickens into a paste as It
dries. Nature provides for Its natural
exit from ihe ear passage by uniting
It with tbe tiny flakes of dead skin,
which fall outward unnoticed either by
seeing or feeling. Thus wax does not
accumulate in a behlthy ear, which-has
just enough to make sticky tbe stiff
little hairs that grow In the passage.
Instruments should never be poked
Into tbe ear by tbe inexperienced nor
wads of ms tonal continually mopped
and squeezed into the opening for
cleansing. Usually such treatment In-
duces an ioi-rease or caking of pax.
Hot water is toe best solvent for wax,
105 to 115 degrees F. If tbe need of it
Is imperative, gently syringe tbe ear
with it. Cotton plugs in the ear are
useful at times, but should be used no
more than absolutely necessary, for
they obstruct tbe canal and Interfere

An official of the National museum
at Washington who bas made many
trips abroad iu tbe Interest of that in-
stitution states that in South Ameri-
can forests the butterflies ami the birds
are equally brilliant in tbelr colors, but
that the butterflies, being Weaker, fail
a prey to the birds. One very,bright
hued species of butterfly, however, ts
not disturbed Jy tbe birds on account
of tbe disagreeable odor thgt it emits,
singularly enough, some other groups
of butterflies, which resemble in color
tbe species Just described, also escape
persecution by the birds, although they
emit no odor. It Is evident that tbe
similarity of color deceives the birds,
and thus serves as a shield for tbe but-
terflies. This sort of mimicry of color
and form, which naturalists call “pro-
tective resemblance,” is not very un-
common among insects.
Another form of "protective resem-
blance” which exhibits much contriv-
ance and skill is sometimes found
among birds. Some birds 'hide their
eggs among stones that resemble tbe
eggs in form and color. The little "bot-
tle tit” In England weaves a bottle
shaped nest out of moss, lichens and
spiders’ webs? and when placed in a
tree or bush the nest so closely resem-
bles Us surroundings that it can hardly
be detected. The color and appearance
of the nest are imitations of tbe pre-
vailing color and appearance of the
particular tree in which it is placed.

DESTINY OF THE JEW.

Senator Bailey has left the state,
declaring that he has whipped the
tight. If he means that he will be
elected again he is probably correct,
for he bas no opposition, nut if he
means that he has silenced the criti-
cism against him he is much mis-
taken. In this section, at least,
there is a stronger anti Bailey senti-
ment than before the senator came
to Browowood and delivered his ad-
dress and this feeling probably pre-
vails in other parts of the state. The
senator’s friends in their enthusiasm
have inspired him with too much
confidence in his ability to lick all
who do not agree with him. Nov-
ember is nearly half gone and there
are still a great many “honest, but
misguided,” Texans who have not
been driven into the Gulf of Mexico.

The next great western
fair is to be held at Seattle, Wash-
ington, io the summer of 1909. It Is
to be called the Yucon-Pacific Expo-
sition and will aim primarily to ex-
ploit tbe resources of the great north-
ern territory of Alaska, of which so
little is known, yet which has fur-
nished in the last few yeasr over two
hundred million dollars of refined
-gold and has made Seattle a city of
two hundred thousand population, to
say nothing of for the time settling
the great political question of free
silver by furnishing an amount of
gold eqoal to the demand for tbe re-
quired inflation of the currency of the
United States. Work oo the grounds
for the exposition has already begun
and it is expected that a greater
number of people will visit the city
•f the great northwest in 1909 than
bas ever before visited tbe section in
all time.

In this clannishness of the Jew, en-

find the philosophy of conditions that

a preparatory experience. The strong-

today Is that of Jewish blood. It is
the red badge of a freemasonry found-
ed on a community of suffering, and

heart in letters of pain. And this it is
that at last will weld the world to-

BavarU's Fa mod* Hotel la the Oltl-
eat In Enrope.
The Goldenes Kreuz (Goldeu Cross,
at Regensburg (RatJsboni,. in Bavaria,
is tbe oldest hotel In Europe. King
Ferdinand I. halted at it on his way
to his coronation In 1531. and no oilier
hotel in Europe possesses records of
such great antiquity as the Golden
Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast of
having had so many royal visitors as
have enjoyed its hospitality. The ex-
isting visitors' books, which date from
1819. contfiin the names of more than
500 imperial, royal end prim-ely per-
sonages. The room is shown where in
18C5 the iate grince Bishiarvk. at that
time Prussian premier, slept when he
came with his sovereign to hold tbe
conference which was the last attempt
to prevent war between Austria and
Prussia. Tbe negotiations were held in
the “small hall” of the hotel, under
the presidency of King William of
Prussia. The host is equally proud of
the autographs of Schiller and other
men of letters which he possesses.
The author of “Wilhelm Tell” wrote
the words’ "U'nd eine heimath ist es“
(“It is indeed a home!’), in memory of
his stay there, and no landlord could
wish for a better advertisement.—Lon-

placed between two heavy wet sheets

ty-four to thirty-six hours. When re-
moved they are spread out on specially
prepared rails in a drying room heated
by steam pipes, where they are allow-

next process is to place the lengths of
the flannel in folds between layers of
glossy paper and subject It to a press-

In tbe court of sessions in Scotland
the judge® who do not attend or give
a proper excuse for their absence are
by law liable to a fine. This law, how-
ever, is never enforced, but It is com-
mon on the first day of the session for
tbe absentee to send an excuse to tbe
lord president. Lord Stonefleid hav-
ing sent such an excuse, onAthe presi-
dent mentioning it , the late Lord Jus-
tice Clerk Braxfleld said In his broad
dialect, “What excuse can a stont fel-
low like him ha’e?” “My lord,” said
the president, “he has lost bis wife.’
The justice, who was fitted with a
Xantlppe, replied: “Has fie? That is a
gnde excuse Indeed. I wish we had a'
the same.” /

“My only objection to tbe young

“Is that he doesn’t seem to have the

“But,” answered, the mother, “he has
as much sense as yon had when you
asked for my hand.”

A plutocratic American of the last
century who had seen the green ucres
and stately castle of an Irish estate
sought out Its impecunious owner
with an offer to buy. Lord Blank,
eager enough to transmute his profit- j
less lauds into pregnant gold, named a
considerable, but reasonable, price as
one he would be willing to take. "Very
well,” said tbe American. ’T’U give
that if the pictures go with the House."
After a little reflection his lordship an-
swered. “Yes, you can have the pic-
tures except, of course, the family por-
traits.” “It's the portraits I wgnt.”
said the other. “I wouldn't give a
eent’for the rest of ’em.” “My proper

tions,” said his lordship, turning on bis
heel and walking away, to the aston-
ishment of the parvenu, who flung a
“Stuck up beggar!” after tbe retreat-

There were few frenzied financiers in
England at the beginning of the eight
eenth century if the banker Bulliot, of
whom the following story Is told, cau
be taken as an example: The feast of
St. Hwltbhi, July 15. 1725, was a par
ticnlariy wet and stormy day.
Trusting implicitly iu the old super-
stition, which says that if it ralus on
St. Swithlu's day it will rain for forty
iluys thereafter, Bulliot opened a pool
for every one who was willing to bet
against him. The affair attained so
much notoriety t'liat the wager was re
duced to writing.
"If dating from St. Hwlthln's day."
reads the memorandum, “it rains more
or little during forty days successively
Bulliot will be considered to have
gained, but if it cease to rain for only
one day during that time Bulliot glut*
lost.”
For two weeks it contained to show-
er every day. aud so confident did the
banker become that lie accepted as
stakes not only money, but gold head-
ed canes, jewels, snuffIsixes and even
clothes. When his cash gave out he
offered notes aud bills of exchange.
Another week passed, and Bulllot's
star was sttl! in the ascendant.
But when the twenty second day
sank into the west bright and cloud-
less the unfortunate banker was ruined.

that the Apaches had planned to am-
buscade them at a certain pass. The
young Indian volunteered, to guide the
wagons by another route, and when be

to go home.
"See here,” saUl the leader of the
train to the young Maricopa, “you have
done us a good service. What Is your

“My price?” repeated the astonished
Indian.
“That Is what I asked.”
“I have no price. Had gain been my

As a rule, fish couie out of the water
only ut the end of a line or by other
involuntary process, but the climbing
perch of the East Indies thinks noth-
ing of leaving a pool with which it is
not satisfied and starting overland in
search of one more to its taste.
This usually hapjicns as a result of the
evaporation of a pool In the extreme^
ly dry season. When the fish decide
that the water In the particular [tool
formed during the rainy season is In
danger of drying out completely they
make all preparations for moving and
late at night or early in the morning
deliberately climb the banks and start
off In search of some more commodious

They travel by means of the strong
bony fins which are full of sharp
spines, like those of the common perch.
They have a receptacle in which they
carry water with them to moisten tbelr
