You never know how small
and insignificant you arc until
your last dollar is gone.
How much did tho Stato of
Texas receive per ucro for tho
rich lands in the black belt?
Yea, wo will'rejoice to nee that
day—when tho Stato of Texu3
retires front the real estato busi-
ness.
lie went to the West when his life was young,
And now he was old and wrinkled and gray,
Yet still he wunderod the hills among,
Prospecting for gold in the old, old way.
4 ‘1 hain’t got money, ” to me he said,
* ‘But 1 allays cun g't u grub stake or so,
An’ I don't mind saym’ just on the dead,
That the richest rock of it all I know;
An’ when 1 have sold that claim," said ho,
“You bet I’ll be rich as tho richest be. ’ ’
I met him again in a later day—
I have met of ft is kind a hundred or more—
A little more wrinkled, a little more gray,
Yet seeking for gold in the gray rock’s store.
441 know where it is, ’ ’ he said to me;
"The secret is mine, an’ I guard it^well
An’ you safely can gamble when ine you see,
You’re viewin’ a nabob, a positive swell.
For I ’ll sell it soon”—how his eyes would shine! —
"An’ tho world’ll bo pleasant for me an* mine.’’
I wandered that way in a later time,
But tho old prospector was there no more,
To cheerily chat on a mountain climb,
Or bill me partake of his frugal store.
"lb; passed, they said, 4 4at the break of day,
And his last words were: *1 will patient he,
For, (hough I am worn and battered and gray,
There five riches untold awaiting me. ’ ’ ’
And, knowing his kindness w’as ever the same,
1 judge that Up There he has sold his claim.
The hills of the West are trodden by these,
Tho ancient prospectors, both worn and gray,
Who are 4 ‘staked for grub’ ’ ere their picks they seize
And toil and hope till they fade away;
And each of them knows where the hills are lined
And seamed and streaked by a svoaltli untold,
And each is rich in his simple mind.
As ho dreams of tho day when his claim shall be sold;
And I have a notion these children of hope
Are the richest of all on any slope.
—Alfred J. Waterhouse, in New York Times.

Marfa was caught unprepared
for so much water—not a boat in
town; a large wash tub was tho
only substitute found.
At one time Texas was a ten-
der nurse to her pioneer settlers.
However it is sometimes difficult
to toll who are pioneers.
J. Gordan French of the West
Texas News, after driving the
raxorbaoks out of Marfa, is now
after tho mossbacks of Del Rio.
The waterworks located nortli
of Marfa opened up Saturday
last and some thought a second
deluge had made its appearance.
Ir is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to make something
put of nothing, but it is very easy
to make a great deal from little.
Dr. Hensley in the Light has
expressed our sentiments about
the professional and salaried
booster. Still there is consola-
tion thut a prophet is not without
jiouor save in his own country.
Should the capital building at
Austin be called a million, three

During the past wook two rul-
ings havo been announced by the
attorney general’s department.
One is that that law prohibits
moviug picture shows on Sun-
days. Numerous inquiries rela-
tive to this have been received,
so that tho ruling will probably
settle a number of doubts.
The other ruling is that masseurs
do not come within the purviow
of the one-board medical bill, be-
cause masseurs are not physicians
and must not attempt to practic
medicine or usurp the place of
physicians in curing diseases.
Osteopaths'however, are consid-
ered physicians and arc subject
to tho provisions of the act.
Estimated county valuations
continue to show few variations
from last year. Some are slightly
higher and others lower, but the
total for the state will not differ
materially from last year. The
returns must all be in by August
15, and the State Tax Board will
meet to fix the “kd valorem rate
for the year.
