Cl!LATEST HONEY MARKET.
Uvalde County, Texas, is the great-
est honey producing region in the
world. All’native honey produced
from native growth. Other counties
In this section are great honey pro-
ducers. Roe County receiving its name
from the fact that it Is a great feed-
ing ground for bees. The splendid
honey gathered from the cat’s claw,
a native plant, lias made the Texas
j product a much sought deliency at
all market centers. The fact Is that
Uvalde County and those adjoining
it have become so famous for the
production of honey that this part of
the state is sometimes referred to as
the "honey belt." Recently Mr. A.
T. Root of Medina, Ohio, the best
known bee keep, r in the world nml
an authority of International reputa-
tion. published a volume of his ex-
periences extending over a period of
thirty years. In this he devotes much
space to the bee industry of Texas
and predicts that the southwestern
part of the stale will be In the uoar
future be the greatest honey produc-
ing section on the continent. Al
Uvalde, the shipping point of the
"honey belt." It Is not an uncommon
llilng for several carloads of honey
to be shipped In one week. As a rule,
this goes direct to the great market
centers of”the north and east where
it sells at the top price and Is ad-
vertised ns Texas honey, the best In

MACHINES MILK 100
COWS IN TWO HOURS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Consular
dispatches say that milking ma-
chines, Invented In New ZenlanJ
about four years ago, and since Im-
prove (land much developed In Aus-
tralia, are coming Into quite general
use In Iho antipodes for milking
dairy herds, saving much time nml
labor for those engaged In dairying.
Demonstrations of these machines
have been among the Interesting and
popular features of agricultural
shows in Australia In recent months.
Records are known of over 100 cows
being milked by one of these ma-
chines In less than two hours. They
possess the advantages of speed and
economy nnd have also made the
milking operation cleanly and more
sanitnry than when done by hand.
They are all made and worked on
the natural principles of suction and
compression, copying nature In the
calf as closely as possible. One of
these milkers Is fitted with an auto-
matic device called a "cut-out,"
which la a float suspended on a valve
Rplndlo. Should the pall become full
of milk this device conies Into action,
shutting off the power and ceasing
to milk until the pall Is emptied.
Milking machine outfits In Sydney,
suitable for milking about twenty-
five cows at a time, coet about 9110.
WIIAT IS TRUK IX)VK?
By Beatrice Fairfax
A Chicago man wauts to know
"What Is True Love?"
His Is not s solitary quest.
A good many people In Chicago
aud In New York, and In Shanghai,
would like to know just what Is true
love.
It Is an eternal question, and It
will last just as long us the good old
world shall lust; and then It will
lake up its endless refrain on some
other planet.
Those who have found true love
will tell you Ihut It Is the best, the
only, thing In life; but you will not
believe litem until you find It out for
yourself.
Then you will know that, until that
time, you have been a poor, ltalf-
lledgetl thing existing, not really
living.
What True Love Means.
True love Is not passion, though
passion is a part of true love.
True love lusts, long after passion’s
vivid flame hns burned down to a
tender glow.
It means companionship, sympathy
ami an Intuitive knowledge of each
nlher’s needs.
There Is no real love that Is ab-
solutely free from Jealousy; lull lit
a love that Is truly great the jeal-
ousy may he emit rolled.
Wonltl you wish tin* man or woman
who loved you to look with com-
placency upon another’s monopoly of
your Interest and affections?
If you can do that, then you do not
know the Hist rudiments of true
love.
The seeker after knowledge asks
"Can true love ever die?"
True love cannot die, hut il can be
killed by cruel, ruthless hands; and
hundreds of men and women have
dellb< r.ilelt, wantonly .lain it.
Even then its memory cannot die.
Again. 1 lie seeker asks. "Do not
most marriages come through propin-
quity?"
Marriage must come, through pro-
pinquity because propinquity means
being near a person, and naturally
one does not marry an utter stranger,
llot propinquity spells danger, and
! ‘I plays many a sorry trick upon un-
! suspecting young people.
They Mistake Infatuation.
Propinquity tricks young people
■ into mistaking a passing infatuation
| for real true love.
Through propinquity a man will
fall In love with a woman whom he
never In the world would have rared
for otherwise.
The match maker knows that noth-
ing helps out her scheming so well
as throwing two young people con-
stantly together.
Propjnqulnty is an - Indispensable
factor in every match; in some It is
almost the entire factor. The mar-
riage of propinquity alone Is not apt
to last.
In the average woman’s eyt s the
most desperate calamity that can fall
to her lot Is to remain unwed.
Society’s general attitude toward
old maids Is that of pitying tolera-
tion.
The very children become imbued
with this Idea and hence the average
girl's fear of being an old maid.
In her eagerness (o escape this
•iwfal fate slit' marries a man site
does not love.
To her true love remains nn un-
known quantity, .lust its many women
marry for a home, so do many men
marry for a passing Infatuation.
In both oases the experiment Is a
failure.
Marriage Is an experiment; only
one tiling can make II a success, nnd
that Is true love.
True love must he founded on re-
spect and congeniality. Without these
il will crumble Into the hitter ashes
of dislike, boredom and disappoint-
ment.

ASIMIALT ON TIIK t’OAST.
For years it lias been known that
beds of asphalt lie along the gulf
coast of Texas at a number of places.
This has been used for paving pur
poses and found to be of excellent
quality. It Is maintained by some
that It Is quite ns good as Trinidad
product, hut has to be worked by
-lightly different processes. While
these beds have not been worked
commercially as extensively ns they
might have been, the growing demand
indicates a more general use of this
material.
It is believed now (hat great beds
of this mineral so far untouched,
exist near the mouth of the Ulo
Grande River. Some days ago while
a company of engineers from this
city were at work near the mouth of
the river they found snnd bars cov-
ered In places with chunks of asphalt,
some of them weighing ns much ns
fifty pounds. With the company were
a number of men who have had wide
experience along geological lines and
these pronounced the specimens
found equal In every particular to
the best Trinidad asphalt.
So far no effort has been made to
develop the asphalt beds In that part
of Texan, tmt It is understood that
the recent discovery made by the en-
gineers will lead to more thorough
investigation and an uncovering of
the deposit from which the samples
mentioned In the foregoing came.

SOUTHWEST PROSPEROUS.
U. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
board of the St. Louts & San Fran-
cisco railroad, after returning from a
trip ovor the system to New York,
stated that the Southwest was grow-
ing rapidly and that the people In
that section of the country' were do-
ing their own work and not asking
help from outsiders. The people are
all working hard with a firm belief
In the future of the Southwest. He
Bald In part:
"There seems to be but little stock
ticker prosperity In New York, but
there Is u good deal of real pros-
perity 111 the Southwest. After
crossing the Mississippi River one
rarely hears the New York stork
market referred to. Trailing in se-
curities Is not the business of the
West, and securities listed oil the
stock exchange are not tho collateral
offered or generally used by the hank-
ers in the West. The people there
are busy with their work and care
little about Ibc stock market. It
may rise or fall ten points nml few
know It, or nt least pay attention
to It.
"The country Is going ahead In a
substantial way nml there need he no
fear of a disastrous falling off In
(he general business of the country.
While business Is not going on with
a rush, there Is a gradual upbuilding
which Is hotter and more permanent
than booming methods. I look for
good, steady liuslness.
"Public feeling Is growing more
friendly toward railroads they pre-
fer to see otir present laws made ef-
fective and given a fair trial. Every-
body realizes that we have enough
new laws to last us for some time,
and I do not think we will have,
either through State or Natlona.
legislation, further laws that will
have a tendency to retard growth
and development,"

MUSIC \ S. BIG HATS.
We have heard of hats which
were symphonies in color, hut nt tht
present time it Is said that the city
of Boston Is greatly puzzled to know
whether to choose between a millin-
ery symphony or a musical sym-
phony. An eastern paper says that
this involves the Symphony society,
the mayor and council nml some of
the fashionable ladies.
noston passed an ordinance forbid-
ding women to wear big hats at pub-
lic performances, hut the women
have persisted In wearing their large
hats during the whole perfo-mance
of the symphony and now the mayor
threatens to revoke the license of the
Symphony society unless it compels
the women to remove their big hats
In accordance with the city ordinance.
The managers are pelading. the ush-
ers are urgent, but the women calmly
wear their big hats. We wait the
result, for it will be rather interest-
ing to know Just which the modern
New England Athens prefers, .Music
or millinery.
WOMEN STOP VICK.
SEATTLE, Wash.—Mayor Hiram
C. Gill, elected last March by a plu-
rality of 3500 votes, was recalled
recently for alleged misconduct In of-
fice by a plurality of 4000. George
Dllllng was eletced mayor to succeed
him.
To the votes of women, who were
enfranchised by the election last fall,
Is due the downfall of Mayor Gill.
Hundreds of women turned out to the
polls nml nlmost without exception
their votes were east against him,
although the men who placed him In
office last year were still support-
ing hint.
The charges against Mayor Gill
were that he had permitted various
forms of vice to run openly through-
out the city.
It was alleged by the recall leaders
1 hat Gill and Chief of Police Wap-
pensteln had farmed out the vice
privileges to n syndicate nnd had col-
lected a large percentage of tho re-
ceipts therefrom.
A surprise of the day was the
heavy Socialist vote, which reached
5000.
Mayor Gill's troubles began when
lie appointed Charles Wnppcnstelu
chief of police. Wnppenstcln had
been dismissed from the office of
chief detective In Cincinnati and
Inter had been dismissed as chief of
detectives in Seattle. He had also
been Involved In the srandul that led
to Hie shooting of former Chief of
Police Meredith In a street duel.
When Gill was first nominated for
mayor he was president of the coun-
cil. His business outside of the coun-
cil wns that of a lawyer. Much of
his practice was among the disorderly
element of the city. It was common
practice for him to leave a meeting
of the council to go to the aid of one
of Ills clients who had been arrested.
In the race for the nomination GUI
had as nit opponent a man of foreign
birth, now to polities, a poor cam-
paigner, and by many considered
dangerous because of bis radical
opinions.
Gill wns a good campaigner. He
wns hail fellow well met. People
who despised nnd abhorred his prin-1
riples liked tho man. All down town
Seattle knew "111" Gill. He was the ,
hero of the underworld, the toast of i
the midnight cafes.
And Gill, when speaking in the J
residence districts, promised well. A
good “business administration," se-
gregation of the redlstrlctod district,
efficiency In all departments—this |
was the pledge made by GUI uptown \
—his bid for respectable votes. I
Under a provision adopted by the J
people last March, Seattle will elect'
on March 7, a council of nine mem- j
hers chosen from the city at large to
succeed the present council of four-
teen chosen by wards. The new I
councllmen are to be well paid and to !
devote all their time to city aftalrsj
and the scheme Is a modification of
the commission form.

TIIE VALUE OF AN EYE.
A jury in Ellis County, Texas, will
be ealled upon to fix the value of an
eye. Juries have been asked to set
all kinds af valuations from that of
a frayed reputation to the price of a
drink nnd In some Instances conclu-
sions have been so startling tho pub-
lic hns wondered what law of math-
ematics was applied to the case. But
the task set before the Kills County
Jury will he Hint of determining how
much a railroad company should pay
mnn for the loss of nn eye while
in Its employ. Frank Slay had the
sight of nn eye destroyed by being
pierced by a silver of steel while In
the employ of the International &
Great Northern, Slay thinks the eye
worth $20,000, hut the railroad com-
pany cannot look at the proposition
from the same angle and will con-
test the case in the courts.

TEXAS WILL GAIN TWO.
WASHINGTON. D. C.—The pass-
age by the House of the Crumpncker
apportionment hill is a fairly safe
indication that Texas will gain two
Congressmen. The hill provides for
membership of 433 In the Sixty-
third House, nn Increase from 391,
which means, under the recent Texas
census returns, that that State will
be entitled to eighteen Instead of six-
teen Congressmen. It Is generally
believed thnt the bill as passed by
the House will be passed by the
Senate. Representatives Dies and
Slayden of Texas were two of five
Democrats who voted against any
Increase In tho size of tho House,
their reasons In substance being that
a larger membership would be awk-
ward. *
