They Acre Kitting In a ditch, or
rather, Teddy mux altllng. and Phyllla
wan slrDrhed luxuriously at full
length, with her nhlny brotirw to***
presneil hard aealnat a tree at the hot-
totn of the hank, and her back propped
against a moss covered trunk at thv
top.
| Teddy, on the other hand, looked de-
cidedly uncomfortable.
Teddy waa an ordinary clean-looking
boy. He wan Jant drifting through the
second year of hla happy go lucky ca-
| reer at college.
Phyllla had always been accuxtomrd
to a willing army of male slave* and
admlrera, and found undiluted femi-
ninity rather oppressing at tlmex. Ho
she welcomed an occasional meeting
with Teddy and kindred undergradu-
ate spirits.
Teddy waa In a decidedly had tem-

her photo taken recently: he had. In
fact, seep Ihe proofs, which were
charming, and of course, he had ex-
pected one to put on his mantelpiece,
there to create an Impressfou among
his friends.
"Why the deuce she won't give tne
one beats me,’* he thought gloomily to
himself.
I Phyllis hnd relapsed Into silence,
; and wan ruminating on things In gen-
| oral.
I r.vervmie had always considered
I that Teddy and Dorothea, Phyllis'
j younger sister, had been cut out for
each other from the cradle. Since
their nursAry days they had roamed
about the countryside, blrds-nesllug,

Phyllla relaxed the tension of her
limb* and altd rapidly to the bottom
or the ditch. Her dress bunched up
round her, end her ehln, on a level
with Teddy’a, rested on her two
hands.
Her brain worked rapidly.
She must tide over this phase of
Teddy'■ till he aaw Dolly again; then
she would bring oil soinethtug defi-
nite. and It would come all right.
Phyllla eudeavored to make her aoft
blue eyes look hard; she failed utter-
ly, however, from want of practice.
She also tried to smooth out her dim-
ples, which ahe had frequently been
told were bewitching, but ahe only
succeeded, although ahe did not know
It. In pursing up her ted llpe Into their
most Inviting shape.

showed themselves In a smile, and
then peal after peal of tippling laugh-

uchcil and tears stood In her eyes.
Now, disdainful eyes, even absence
of dimples. Is ho barrier to love's ar-
dor; but h lover, particularly If he be
very youthful, can never survive ridi-
cule.
Teddy suddenly felt he had made
n fool of himself. Awful enough at
any time, hut lit the presence of a
girl—above all, of Phyllla. He was
furious with himself, furious with her,
ho became more and more crimson.
"Teddy, dear," Phyllla at last man-
aged to gasp out, "I'm really awfully
sorry; J, wasn't laughing at you,
bill—”
Perhaps you'd rather he getting
back as you seem to find my pres-
ence so odious”—a scrap of eloquence

in which he was to act In the ap-
proaching commencement—came to

Phyllis rose, shook out her crumpled
skirt and eettlcd her Panama hat.
Wichita
the state
at the great Alaska-Yukon-Pa-
cific Expoaition at Seattle?’' is
the question put to the citizens
of Texas by the Texas Commer-
cial Secretaries' Association, of
which the Exposition Committee,
through the chairman, F. H.
Gohlke of Wichita Falls, is charg-
ed with the task of bringing to a
successful issue.
Texas realizes the value of
publicity and that the coming
year is one of the most oppor- j
tune for expansive exploitation
work. The commercial secreta-
ries of the entire state are being*,
urged to do their part in solicit-
ing contributions of $1 to the
fund. $6000 is all that is need-
ed and the prorata share of each
community is but a pittance of
the immensity of returns which
cannot fail to accrue from the
comprehensive exhibit of pro-
ducts and resiuiMJS which are
available.
At the St. Louis exposition
the grand prize was captured by
Texas. At the Seattle Exposi-
tion Texas will be a winning card.
This exposition will cost$10,900,-
000 and a number of states will
have state buildings. The influx
of visitors will pour in from all
over the the United States, but
ii
chiefly from the Central West
ami Middle Atlantic States. \
These are the same people Tex-
as is trying to attract to its di-

traced back to about 1050, hut there
the antiquarians had to give it up.
At thut time, most of the houses ill
the west end of 1/indon had a horse-
shoe nailed over the door as a protec-
tion against witches and evil spirits.
It was believed that a witch could
not e^jter a house ao protected. Many
houses in this country have a horse-
shoe attached to them in some way,
and sailors, who are nearly all su-
perstitious, nail the shoea up in their
ships for “luck.” Out of this old
sujierstition grew the notion that it
is “lucky” to find an old horseshoe,
and it ia said that the more nails

WHO KNOW*
LESS BEEF, MORE BACON.
Shortly before Christmas some
one poisoned Rev. U. W. Jarrell’s
buggy horse, and last Saturday
night the same thing happened
to Mr. J, M. Liles’ animal. Mr.
Liles and family were away from
home in the early part of the
night, but on returning the ani-
mal waa as well as usual. ^Next
morning he went out to jfeed,
and found him dead. Upon ex-
amination particles of strychnine
waa found in the trough where
the horse had eaten, and to be
doubly sure that it was poison, a
chicken jumped in the trough
and began to eat. and in a few
seconds fell over in convulsions.
Mr. Liles always feeds com to
his horse, but the trough con-
tained that morning the remains
bf a feed of bran, meal and
chops. Upon drawing a bucket
of water, the well was also found
to have had kerosene oil poured
into it.
Now. this thing is getting too
numerous. No man knows who
I will be next to lose his horse. It

shipments of refrigerated beef fell
off 404,479 hundredweight (of 113
pounds each), compared with the
1907 period, while the topd increase
of 30,889 was due to the heavy con-
signments from Argentina. A sub-
stantial increase of 337,338 hundred-
weight in the weight of bacon is due
to the heavier shipments from the
United States, the supplies from
Canada and other countries being
