WE MEET AGAIN ?"
George D. Prentis, the poet editor
ol the Louisville Journal wrote many
pretty things, but nothing finer than
the prose-poem reprinted below In re-
sponse to a question. “Shall we Meet
Again?” Cut this out and paste it in
your scrap-book.
"The fiat of death is inexorable.
There is no appeal for relief from the
great law which dooms us to dust.
We flourish and fade as the leaves
•Of the forest, and the flowers that
mafi'f bloom, wither and fade in a day have
Mife bo frailer hold upon life than tin'
thightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps. Generations
pi men will appear and the multitudes
throng the world today will dis-

appear as footsteps on the shore. Men
seldom think of the great event of
death until the shadow falls across
their pathway, hiding from their eyes
the faces of loved ones whose living
smile was the sunlight of their ex-
istence. Death is the antagonist or
life, and the thought of the tomb is
the skeleton of all feasts We do not
want to go through the dark valley,
although, the dark passages may lead
to paradise; We do not want to go
down into damp graves, even with
princess for bed fellows. In the beau-
tiful drama of "lone” the hope of im-
mortality. so frequently uttered by
the death-devoted Greek, finds deep
response in every thoughtful soul
about to yield his life a sacrifice to
fate, his Clemanthe asks if they should
meet again, to which he responds: I
have asked that dreadful question of
the hills that look eternal—of the
clear streams that flow forever—of
stars among whose fields of azure m>
raised spirits have walked in glory.
All are dumb. But as I gaze upon
thy living face. I feel that there is
something in love that mantles
through Us beauty that cannot wholly
perish. We shall meet again. Clem-
anthe.”

A bridge workman named white, re-
ceived injuries which later caused his
death, and two other workmen were
seriously injured, when the M. K. & T.
bridge over Turkey creek, near Cle-
burne collapsed Monday afternoon.
The three men were members of ihe
bridge crew which was repairing the
bridge. The collapse occurred while
a freight train was passing over the
bridge.
White. In a dying condition was
rushed to Alvarado, for medical as-
sistance in an automobile. He died a
few minutes after reaching that place.
One of the other men suffered Internal
Injuries, his ribs being crushed in
and may die.
All three of the workmen live at
Chicago, where White's body will be
sent for burial. >»
_ all men the newspaper
are to select- from the world’s doings
ihat with which the public la to be
made familiar, heels to be wise and
judicious, and to lay aside his dis-
likes and clear himself of all malice.
If the newspaper which you take is
to decide what information concetn-
‘•:g the dolng3, good an) bad. in the
world and in the community, you and
your family are to be made familiar
with have you not also, a duty as to
th kind of newspaper you take-
whether it be one that parades and
patronized vice and crime, and sneers
at goodness and decency, or one that
does the reverse of this? Does it make
any difference whether you admit,
daily or weekly, to your hosehold, a
paper which has regarded for thuta-
fulues and fairness, or one which will
lie and slander at any time to suit
its purpose?
To the newspapers are committed
great responsibilities, and of It there
must be corresponding demand. The
responsibility of the paper, of those
who make it and giye it its charac
ter, is great and this responsibility
ought to be exercised under the powoi
and guidance of noble principle. They
who select the paper which they will
take and patronize have a responsi-
bility for that selection. He who sup-
ports a paper in any way is responsi-
ble in a measure for the character of
that paper. This community is re-
sponsible for the kind of papers vvhicu
it encourages and supports; and es
pecially is there a responsibility as to
the home—a responsibility for admit-
ting it. There is no place where a
man should more carefully and more
firmly exercise his moral and Chris-
tian principle than in the selection of
his paper.—Exchange.

Boquel, exposition avlati
hundred feet ti Instant death Monday
afternoon. ,
A great crowd in the Panama Cal-
ifornia Exposition grounds witnessed
thtj crash.
With smoke pouring from vapor
tanks on the tips of wings, Boquel
wrote the word “Farewell” in the sky
just before his machine plunged earth-
ward. He was to conclude his engage-
ment In San Diego Monday.
Boquel’s plane drove nose foremost
into the ground with a smash audible
half a mile. The aviator’s body was
hurled from the seat and driven into
the earth.
Having completed his afternoon
flight, Boquel was performing a final
series of aerial gymnastics while cir-
cling down. Suddenly his controls
seemed to stick. The machine swayed
and lurched forward. For a moment
Boquel struggled to wright himself.
Then his aeroplane pointed straight
downward and fell like a rock.
Before beginning his career. Boquel
was mechanician for Aviator Art
Smith, from whom he learned many
of him most spectacular feats.

TEXAS FOURTH IN CONTRIBU-
TION S TO CAMPAIGN FUND
The report front
ional headquarters
Democratic uat-
Saturday night,
giving Texas fourth place among the
states in campaign contributions, was
highly pleasing to R. Bonna Ridgway,
ihe chairman of the Texas neutral
finance committee. According to Mr.
Ridgway, Texas is in reality in the
third place, as the report showed lit-
tle more than $41,000 from Texas,
only $42,000 from Ohio, which had
third place. .Mr. Ridgway believes that
Friday's mail from Texas'will run the
.state ahead of Ohio, and for that rea-
son claims third place. He bases his
figures on the fact that Ohio is one
day nearer national headquarters in
mail facilities than is this state.
Toyah, in Reeves county, sent in a
contribution of $20.30 this morning.
A note was appended saying that this
was the first time in history that
Toyah had ever contributed to a na-
tional campaign fund.
Mr. Ridgway said Thursday that he
was extremely anxious that Tarraul
county make a better showing in the
matter of contributions and is anxi-
ous that some of the more wealthy
citizens, who can afford large contri-
butions. give amounts ranging from
$30 to $100. Many such contributions
have been received in other towns of
of the state, it is stated.

It is one of ihe time-honored habit*
of men who write to deplore some
element of decency in the age in which
they live and to point with pride at
the nobler lives of the preceeding gen-
eration. But the amusing fact about
all this is that you may pick up a
book which calls attention to certain
faults and foibles of the human race
at almost any particular age and find
that the author might as well have
been writing today about a scene on
main street in Waxahaehie. Iu his
comedies, which by the way are most
delightful reading. Oscar Wilde uses
the ward "nowadays” very frequently.
He makes many ironical comments on
how- conditions have become "nowa-
days.” Butif you.live in Dallas or
Des Moines, you will laugh at his com-
ments because they fit your town to-
day just as they fit the London in
which he lived. And contemplate
this little comment wich closes Ba-
con’s essay on death: "Death hath
this also that is closes the portals of
envy and is a passport to good fame."
It was true in Rome when the Cae-
sars ruled and it is true today in
Brownsville.—Texas Weekly Review,

A WARNING
In these days of indigestion,
It is often quite a question
As to what to eat and what to leave
alone.
For each microbe and bacillus
Has a different way to kill us,
And in time they claim us for their
own
kind,
There are germs of every
In any food that you find,
In the market or upon the hill of
fare.
Drinking water's just as risky
As the so-called deadly whiskey,
And it's often a mistake to breathe
the air.
The inviting green cucumber
Gets most everybody's number,
While the green corn has a system
of it's own;
Though a radish seems nutritious,
It's behavior is quite vicious,
And a doctor will be coming to your
home.
Eating lobster, cooked or plain,
Is only fitting with ptomaine,
While an oyster sometimes has
lot to say.
But the clams we eat in chowder,
Make the angels chant the louder,
For they know that we ll be with
them right away.
All these crazy foods they mix
Will float us 'cross River Styx;
Or they'll start us climbing up the
Milky Way.
And the meals we eat in courses,
Mean a hearse and two black horses,
So, before a meal, some people al-
ways pray.
Lucious grapes breed ’pendicitis,
And the juice leads to gastritis.
So there’s only death to greet us
either way.
And fried liver’s nice, but, mind you
Friends will soon ride slowly behind
you.
And the papers then will have nice
things to say.

CAMEL CREATES PANIC
IN BALLINGER
SILVER BULLION BY THE TON
BEING LOADER ON DEUTSCHLAND
Six and one-half tons of silver bul-
lion from the mint at San Francisco
were unloaded at New London, Conn.,
Tuesday at the railway station by an
express company and transported to
the German merchant submarine Dtaet-
schland. moored at the state pier, for
shipment across the ocean. The metal
was conveyed through the streets in
five open wagons without armed
guards andtfew persons who saw the
wagon suspected that $150,000 worth
of property was being moved in ..hat
fashion.
A runaway camel belonging to a
carnival company which was exhibit-
ing in Ballinger last week created con-
sternation when it broke loose from
its keeper in the papade and playfully
ran through the streets. The camel
frightened the horse of Miss Irene
Kober, a young woman contortionist
who was riding in the parade and the
horse threw teh young woman to the
ground and stepped on her chest, in-
flicting serious injury. Miss Kober
was hurriedly taken to the sanitarium.
The camel was caught in the residen-
tial section of the city and returned
to the show.
An exchange remaks: “When every
farmer in the south shall eat bread
from his own fields and meat from his
own pastures, disturbed by no creditor
and enslaved by no debt, shall sit,
amid his teeming gardens, and or-
chards, and vineyards, pitching his
own crops in his own wisdom and
growing them in independence, mak-
ing cotton his clean surplus, and sel-
ling at his own time, and in his chosen
market, and not at a master's ,bidding
—getting his pay in cash and not
in a receipted mortgage, which dis-
charges his debt but does not restore
his freedom—then shall be breaking
the fullness of our days."
