FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1914
It takes some people a long
time to find out wliat they don’t
knowr.
* * #
About the worst thing that
can happen to a man is to be ap-
pointed on a committee.
* * *
At least the Benton probe will
determine who is real boss, Car-
ranza or Villa.
* * #
It’s nearly time to take the
lawn mower from the shed and
push it till you’re nearly dead.
* * *
An optimist is one who can
look pleasant when he fishes all
day Sunday and don’t get a
bite.
* * *
Mexicans are fairly representa-
tive of progressive republicans.
They all wrant everything differ-
ent:
Some of the people up north
believe the only desirable time
to shovel snow is in the sum-
mer.
* # *
The reformed bandit who is run-
ning for governor of Oklahoma,
is probably better than some of
the unreformed candidates.
* * *
While scientists tell that every
seven years a man rebuilds him-
self, they are mum as to how of-
ten to expect a new woman.
* * #
Corpus Christi is paying the
penalty for becoming metropoli-
tan. The killing of Saturday
night gave it a record of four
murders in eight days.
* # #
The jobless are not joyless in
California. They are being furn-
ished -with first-class railroad
tickets and passed on to the next
town.
# # *
Judging from the large number
of recent appointments, Texas is
full of good democrats who are
eapable of holding down in a
most satisfactory manner almost
any job in the country.
# * •
the thought that the old-fashion-
ed snow drift, in which they have
to wade waist deep, is as beauti-
ful as a rose garden and that a
crystal of snow is as fine as the
flora of the sea, and that it is as
pleasant to kebp a hammer near
the bath tub to break the ice
when they bathe as it would be
to take a dip in the surf.
* * *
In ordering the trash can re-
moved from in front of the post-
office, the city fathers evidently
did not want the good people of
Aransas Pass to contract the hab-
it of Houston citizens in dropping
letters and other mail matter in
the cans instead of the mail box-
es. The unsophisticated of Hous-
ton, according to the Post, are al-
so guilty of depositing letters and
parcels in the wmste paper cans
in the main lobby of the postof-
fice. As Aransas Pass is becom-
ing quite a Mecca for Houston
people of late, the drastic action
of the administration is to be
commended.

Volume 1, No. 1 of the Hustler,
of Mineral Wells, Texas, with S.
E. Miller as editor, is the latest
addition to. the exchange table.
| In offering the publication to the
public, Mr. Miller emphatically
states that the Hustler is not a
political paper, and takes a broad
view of the province of a newspa-
per when he says: ' “Preferably,
we would rather tell about the
building of a new home, or the
painting of an old one, to that of
lauding some man or men for lo-
cal office. We would rather fill
our columns with schemes for
beautifying our town, or building
better roads, or getting more visi-
tors, or a new railroad, than to
burden them with sonorous plati-
tudes about some popular politi-
cian. Controversies of whatever
kind or character can find no
place in our pages, even on an ad
v ertising basis. V
It is said that boys raise mus-
taches and girls experience them.
* * *
A boy dreams of the day he
will smoke and the girl of when
she will smell it on his mustache.

No matter how badly a wo-
man got fooled on the hero she
married, she is always ready to
help her daughter to get taken
in the same way.

One of the biggest trusts on
earth is the country newspaper,
omments a contemporary, as it
rusts everybody, gets cussed for
rusting, mistreated for trusting,
and if it busts for trusting, gets
cussed for busting.
* # *
The number of farm sales being
advertised in the North and the
fullness of homeseekers excursion
trains to the Gulf coast country
indicates that sunny Texas is
looking mighty good to the deni-
zens of the frigid North.
* # *
Women who believe themselves
strictly up to the minute im
adopting the style of the hobble
skirt, are only 3,000 years behind
the times according to Prof. Max
Muller. Egyptologist at the uni-
versity of Pennsylvania, who says
the tight fitting narrow-bottomed
skirt is the fashion depicted in all
ancient Egyptian paintings and
statuettes representing women.

Some of the Northern papers
are consoling their readers with
Be sure your sins will find you out
At forty-five or thereabout.
The shiny baldness of your head
Will show what kind of life you’ve led.
The candid lines about your eyes
Will tell no charitable lies.
Your pudgy face will testify
To idleness and living high.
A pallid cast, to beauty’s cost
Will tell of slumber that you lost.
A not infrequent little line
Will say you looked upon the wine.
Approaching age, too swiftly met,
Will tell us something of your set.
A sea of troubles from within
Will babble of what might have been.
The graying hair behind your ears
Will quite epitomize the years.
Be sure your sins will find you out
At forty-five or thereabout.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A good husband is a man who
is not allowed to spend any mon-
ey on himself.

The first time a woman marries
it is the man’s fault; the second
time it is hers.

When a sensible girl marries a
sensible man in a sensible way,
her wedding is unromantic.

It is a pretty good evidence of
heart trouble when he keeps
sending her a bouquet every
evening.

It is rather discouraging to
marriageable girls and widows
when a dot of happy bachelors
now and then cast peaceful
glances at each other.

A widow can make people be-
lieve she could learn a whole lot
from a young girl.

A man with a nagging wife re-

If a man has a little horse sense
he is only fit to work like a truck
horse and if he has none at all
he is considered a genius.
Houston Post: We do not care
to inject any embarrassing con-
siderations into the controversy
at all, but we think it is due the
eternal verities to say that Texas
alone can lick Mexico, to a tessel-
lated finish.
# # *
Corpus Christi Caller: The
Mexican revolution has suffered
its first, severe naval engagement.
Horrible slaughter was only
averted by the fortunate fact tha
the vessels taking part were well
out of range. Such battles go a
long way toward bringing about
an era of universal peace.

Galveston News: We are told
by a. Spanish scholar that the
proper way to pronounce Villa is
“ Veeyah,” but we prefer to stay
with the majority, for whom Vil-
ler is good enough.
* * *
Houston Chronicle : Villa seem
to be the only party that has the
correct idea of elimination.
* * #
Sioux City, la., Journal: Titles
are curious things. Carranza is
“supreme chief,” but Villa seems
to be the supreme IT.

Washington Post: Perhaps Pan-
cho Villa has read somewhere
that ancient superstition the
effect that the wounds of a mur-
dered man open in the presence
of his assassin.
