POLLS
TODAY
Special Election on Constitutional
Amendments held in Tews.
SIX QUESTIONS FOR VOTERS
Many Interesting Propositions to Be
Disposed Of, Including Matter ot
Salary of Legislators.
Today the voters of the State
of Texna will have an opportuni-
ty to ozpraoa themselves upon
■ix suggested amendment* to the
the Constitution of the State.
These were all proposed by the
reoant State Legislature, Ae
they appear upon the official bal-
lot the mattora submitted for ao-
oeptanoe or rejection ae followe:
1. The establishing of a home
for dieablad and dependent wives
and widowe of Confederate sol-
diers and sailore, and the pro-
viding of a maintainanoe for the
home for all women who aided
the Confederacy.
2. The establishing and main-
taining of a Department of Ag*
rioulture and a Bureau of Labor.
3. The granting of a salary to
members of the Legislature.
4. The granting to oitieg of
more than 6,000 population a
right to oreate taxing dietriots
for publio improvement! to be
charged to abutting property
bwneri,
6. The establishing of a State
printing effloe.
0. The allowing a county or a
district to designate an improve-
ment district by majority vote
The family Itlble, with He genealog-
ical record, served a useful purpose
In its da/,” aald tha librarian, "and I
don't aee that, with all cur boasted
advance In civilisation, we have de-
veloped anything quite U> take Us
place. Of course, nowadays, cities
and lawns pride themselves on the
accuracy of their vital statistics, and
we have whole libraries of genealogi-
cal works—dry enough moat of them
are, too. Hut the Individual faintly
record, such aa was kept a few gen-
erations ago, la very decldeSly miss-
ing, and It's a pity that such Is the
case.
"For ene thing, the list of births,
marrisges and deaths that were kept
In the ponderous volume of Holy
Writ operated to keep the members
of the family close to onq another; It
was, In a way, a centra) polnL val-
uable for sentimental realms aa well
ns for reusons more distinctly utili-
tarian. As scribe succeeded scribe,
the family continuity waa emphasised
and the entries were slgulflcunt of
the growth of a clannish feeling,
which is too little In evidence at the
present time. There are not, 1 ven-
ture to say, very many people In this
year of grace who know anything or
care anything about their relatives
further removed than the degree of
first couslnshlp, und even first cou-
sins are frequently out of mind. Of
course, our tendencies are responsible
largely for this state of affairs, but
often wish that we had reminders of
our kin, such as were furnished by
the family Illble of pust days with
their direct personal testimony,
amounting to messages from parents
to children. Whenever I see one of
these pages filled with careful en
trie*—entries made In Joy and In sor-
row, In the confidence of pride of life
or by the trembling fingers of old age,
It seems to me that we have lost
something In our hurried existence
that Is to be regrettod, We can go
to the city or town clerk or, perhaps,
to the public library for Information
as to our unccstry or our relatives,
but this Is u rather cold and formal
method of procedure. Certainly, we
do not find In official records and In
books the handwriting of our fore-
bears.”
A rostfum. as you all know. Is n plat
form! for public speakers. Did you
ever|hear how the name originated?
It's rather a queer story. In the days
of old Rome it was the custom to
fashion the bow of n war vessel like
the beak of a bird, and one of these
bows taken from a ship’captured by
the Romans, was brought to the city
ns a trophy and placed In the Forum,
where l| waa subsequently used by
speakers when they addressed the peo-

Tillman Is Idsntlflsd.
Senator Tillman tells a story on
himself as to how he was Identified by
a post office money order clerk when
he first arrived at the capital city.
After being In the city a few days
ho dropped In at the post office to cash
a money order.
"Do you know any one hero who
could Identify you?” asked the clerk.
“Well, no,” the senator answered.
"Is that necessary? I am Hen Till*
man of South Carolina."
The clerk smiled, then asked the
sonntor If ho didn't have some letters
or lepers that would make him known
to the post office authorltlee.
The senator had on a new suit that
morning, an^ had neglected to trans-
fer his letters, but he had his pocket-
book with him. Digging down In his

I nothing but u small photograph of

"Why, sure. That's you, all right,”
remarked the man behind the coun-
ter, handling over the cash.—Roches-

To Pot Plants.
When transplanting or repotting
plants remember that a plant loosely
potted rarely thrives. Firm potting
must be Insisted upon—not hard
pounding or the earth, but sufficient
firmness about the roots to allow
them to obtain a good hold In the
sin.

A direct route from Manchester,

there to the open sea. This canal Is
fitted with hydraulic locks.

Draw Lots for Homes.
Houses are in great demand In
Buckingham, England, hut owing to
tho high price of land and the taxes
building operations are limited. Re-
cently half a dozen new hoimes were
erected, and the applicants received
a circular from the agents, of which
the following Is a copy; "With refer
ence to your application to hecoino
tenant of one of the new houses, we
hog to say that the number of applica-
tions we have received (ell of which
wc would readily comply with If we
had vacant houses for them) renders
tho task of selection so difficult that
tho owners havo decided that tho lots'
shall ly* drawn for. If, therefor*, you
