true it*is alright all the time.
It would take a whole issue of
rour paper to tell what I think of
so I shall i>e brief and send it

The first thing about California
will usually impress a new
is that it is altogether dif-
tfrom anything he has ever
before. .

The country is quite different
rom what I expected. People
_jld me when I came here that a
rock had to be moved for even
planting a tree.
There are rockf here but there
are valleys also among the moun-
where there are no stones,
r iese valleys' ve fairly fer-

Texas Possibilities.
According to the most reasona-
Texas is now approximate!^^!
000,000 and will show up in the
next census as the fifth State in
point of population.
In acres Texas is equal to South
Carolina, New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Ohio, Delaware. Tennessee and
Conneticut. It contains 295,790
square miles; 170,400,500 acres,
and 246 counties. It beats the
Austrain Empire by 34,400 square
miles and is 62,365 square miles
larger than the German Empire.
In fact they haveh’t go t done
measuring Texas yet. —Colum-

Kisses on Credit
A Father talking to his care-
less daughter said: MX want to
•peak to you of you* mother. It
maybe that you have noticed a
care-worn look upon heir face,
lately. Of course it has not beep
brought there by any action of
yours, atill its your duty to chase
screamed, and there was a mad
rush to the little narrow doers
with which such buildings are
provided. In these doors the
writhing mass of human beings
was soon so jamed that no one
could get out.4
To give the public a faint idea
of the horror of the occasion, we
mention one incident of the
many. G. A. La?t«r, who is six
feet and whcse weight we guess
at 200 pounds, was thrown down
in one door, and unable to extri-
cate himself,, was trampled on
by those who pushed ^others be-
hind.' Fortunately-he fell with
his head and arms out of the
door, and people on the out side
managed to puli him out, but no
sooner was he extricated than a
woman went down in his stead,
faster seized iher by the arm
and pulled htr out,—Gordon Cu-
rior.

Comes and begins to express her
surprise go up and kiss her. You
can’t imagine how it will bright*

owe her a kiss or two. Away
back, when you were a little girl,
she kissed you when ho one else
was tempted by your fever-taint-
ed breath and swollen face. YjoU
were not so attractive then a** you
are now. And through those
years of childish sudshine and

Bailey Did Good Work.
Wu are glad that Senator Joe
W. Bailey took a hand in prevent-
ing the Senate from increasing
t he House appropriation for the
wider promel^ation of the official
cotton standards and for more ex-
tensive, inspection of grain in
transpotation. ■*
It is quite the fad these days
to raide the federal treasure—to
‘ draw on that institution for every
conceivable purpose, thus mak
ing soft places for a lot of dron-
es at the expense of the active
workers. IK*
The official cotton standards tired eyes will open
will take care of themselves; the
exchange will adopt them with-
out contest. ’ Wt . *
J here is no need for grain in-
spection save at the ports and
this last is amply provided for. j
We do not ait up at nights to
write eulogies of the junior Sena-
tor from Texas, but we can nbt
withhold a word of praise when
he creditably performs as in this
instance.—\Vaco Tiipes-Herald.

| whenever they were injured in
those first skirmishes with the
rough world. And then the mid-
night kiss with which she routed
so many, so many bad dreams as
she leaned over your restless pil-
low, have been on interest these
long, long years. • Of course she
is not as pretty and vki3sable as
you are but if you had done your
share of work during the last ten
years the contrast would not
have been so marked. Her face
has more wrinkles than yours,
far more, and yet if you were
sick that face would appear more
beautiful than an angl’s, as it
hovered over you. watching
qvery op* rtunityto minister to
your comfort, and every orte of
those wrinkles would seem to be
bright wavelets of sunshine chas-
ing each other over the dear face.
She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens, if not lift-
ed from her should ?rs, will break
her down. Those rough hard
hands that have done so many
necessary things for yon, will be
crossed upon her lifeless breast.
Thos* neglected lips that gave
you your first baby kiss will be
forever closed, and those sad,
in eternity
and tbdn you will appreciate your
mother; but it will be to late,*'"-*-
