Waco Pump Station Wrecked.
Waco, Texas, April 18.—At 8
o’clock to-night the Brazos River
reached its highest point of the
present flood, which was about
thirty-two feet and two inches.

Waco, Texas, April 19.—At 5
oVock this morning the plant of
Brazos Valley. At a point three
miles below Waco 250 hogs were
drowned. About the same time
aixty-tive head of cattle were res-
cued from the middle of the
rushing river.
The greatest damage in Waco
occuredbythe wrecking of the
underground pumping station of
the city waterworks. The big
engines and all the machinery
are deep under mud and water.
This has cut off two-thirds of
the city’s water supply, and will
cause much inconvenience until
the system can be restored,
which cannot be until the flood
subsides.
The Bosque river is out of
its banks for about eight miles,
which has caused considerable
loss to the fine growing crops of
corn, alfalfa and cotton. People
dwelling at the mouths of the
creeks at Waco have b#en com-

Clendenen went to Cleburne as
soon as they were notified of En-
gineer Long’s death yesterday
morning. The funeral services
which will take place at Cleburne
tomorrow afternoon, will be con-
ducted by Rev. Dr. George W.
Trueit, pastor of the first Bap-
tist Church of Dallas.
Engineer Long was a man of
Herculean frame, being nearly
seven feet in height. He com-
pleted his service as fireman on
the Santa Fe system ! about two
years ago, when he was promot-
ed to the post of engineer, to op-
erate a passenger train on the
Dallas branch of the road. The
engine on which he made his last
run Ihe took out of Dallas at 8
o’clock Friday night.—Dallas

Let the boys on the farm have
some animal or plot of ground
which is really their own, and
then let them realize the profits
to be made from it. In this way
they will feel a personal in farm
matters and will learn by prac-

of stockraising and farming.
This will tie them to the farm as
nothing else will.—Nocona News

We sometimes wonder how
many people would . go out to
hear political speakers, if their
platforms were made up ef such
issues as how to build better
roads, how to grow more cotton
per acre, how to secure manu-
factures and how to beautify the
towns. It’s doubtful whether a
corporal’s guard could be in-
duced to hear the most eloquent
speaker in the land on such is-
sues as these, but the average
man will leave his field, shop or
store to hear second-rate speak-
ers discuss abstruse economical
problems that neither he nor the
speaker knows anything about,
and which will not in a thousand
years add to the personal com-
forts of the people or improve
the country’s general conditions.

Once, I was young, but now I
am old and I have never seen a
girl that was unfaithful to her
mother that ever came to be
worth a one-eyed button to her
husband. It is the law of God,
it isn’t exactly in the Bible but it
is written large and in the mis-
erable lives of many misfortu-
nate homes—I am speaking for
the boys this time. If any of
you efiaps ever come across a
girl that with a face full of roses,
says to you as she comes to the
door: “I can’t go for thirty min-
utes yet for the dishes are not
washed.” You wait for that
girl. You sit right down on the
door steps and wait for her be^
cause some other fellow may
come along and carry her off
and right there you lose an angel.
Wait for that girl and stick to
her like a burr to a mule’s tail.—

Running a newspaper may be
a snap in some places, but in
Italy it is a tough proposition.
The editor has baled cotton on
the oldtime presses, fed thresh-
ing machines, grubbed, plowed
and done everything else on a
farm, but running a newspaper
is the worse job we ever tackled.
Hard work does not put a fellow
in a strain like mental strain that
he must undergo in getting out
a newspaper. He really does
more for the town people than
anybody, else, throws more bou-
quets at them, and receives more
licks and less money and less ap-
preciation than anybody.—Italy
