The Old and Young.
There'is nothing in the world
more pathetic than the meek,
timorous, shrinking ways of cer-
tain old people—we have seen
them—who have given up their
homes into younger hands, and
subsided into some out-of-the
way corner of it, to sit by the
fireplace and table henceforth as
if afraid of “making trouble,
afraid of being “in the way,
afraid of accepting half of what
is their due and going down to
their graves with a pitiful, dep-
recating air, as if constantly
apologizing for staying so long.
There is no scorn too deep nor
sharp for,the sons and daughters
who will accept this attitude on
the part of those whom they owe
so much.—Vernon Call.
This is a timely blast from the
watchman’s trumpet. We have
all seen the old folks give up
their home to the second genera-
tion and then witness the gradu-
al elimination of the rightful
owners from the picture. It is
not always that the young ones
choose to be selfish or inconsid-
erate or mean. They just assume
that because the old folks are
old folks they have no senti-
ments worth considering nor any
feelings but those of senility. It
is a bad day in the life of any
old man or old woman when he
or she surrends his or her all to
even a beloved son or daughter.
Let the parents keep for them-
selves that which they need and
let the children be those who
must be needy, if so be it any
must need.—Dallas News.
Earthquake Affects San Antonio Wells.
San Antonio, Tex.,—The re-
cent earthquake in Mexico has
had a serious effect on the arte-
sian wells of this city. The water
level has been ten feet lower
since the quake. Those who
have made examinations do not
hesitate to say that the disturb-
ance in Mexico caused the lower
level.
Children that are affected by worms
are pale and sickly and liable to con-
tract some fatal disease. White Cream
Vermifuge expels worms promptly and
puts the child on the road to health.

First Bale Makes New Record.
Houston, Tex., June 12.—The
first bale of cotton for the season
of 1911 was received at* the cot-
ton exchange this morning. It
was grown on the Ernest Martz
farm, near San Benito, in Cam-
eron county, and the claim is
made that a new world’s record
by eleven days was made for
earliness.
The bale sold for $1015, which
is the highest ever paid for any
bale on the Houston exchange.
It classed as strict middling,
weighed 493 pounds, and experts
said it was composed entirely of
new cotton. B. Jesse Jones who
is not in the cotton business and
says he hasn’t yet decided what
he will do with it, was the suc-
cessful bidder. He paid a frac-
tion over $2.05 per pound. Had
three competitors who dropped
out when the thousand dollar
mark was reached.

year in savings, besides the crops
made.

When Lampasas Citizens Show the Cer-
tain Way Out.
There can be no just reason why any
reader of this will continue to suffer
the terrors of an aching back, the an-
noyance of urinary disorders, the dan-
gers of diabetes of any kidney ills
whea relief is so near at hand and the
most positive proof given that they
can be cured. Read what a Lampasas
citizen says:
C. A. Howard, 403 6th St., Lampasas,
Texas, says: “I suffered off and on for
nearly a year from a lame back. Al-
though I was not compelled to quit
work, the trouble was very annoying
and when I had much stooping to do, I
was in misery. A neighbor finally ad-
vised me to try Doan’s Kidney Pills
and I did so, procuring them at
Schwarz & Hoffmann’s Drug Store.
The contents of three boxes relieved |
me so thoroughly that I have had but
little trouble since. I always keep a
supply of Doan’s Kidney Pills on hand,
however, to have in case of need.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50cts.

Remember the name—Doan’s —and
take no other. 32
