Texas Press Association is a
thing of the past, but its pleasant
memories will remain green in the
hearts of our citizens. All the
members of the association who
honored our town by their visit
were as genial. and intelligent a
body of men as can be found, and
leaped from the start right into our
hearts. Business intellect, con-
sciousness of their great task, to
represent public opinion, to in-
struct the popular mind, to lead
raise i;* with themselves into a
er spore of moral existence
d wordly usefulness—all this
could be seen on their earnest
be heard in thei/able
papers from their
eloquent lips. Vyhat better reason

tensively as the stock of^some oth-
er corporations along our line.
Wetmore—The road along the
ine from Lookout runs through a
farming country where large yel-
low pumpkins and green country
bumpkins can be seen along the
road from the observatory car. At
Wetmore, as its name indicates,
the thirsty passenger can secure
more beer (if he has the pricey.
The name of this town was once
Smiley, but at that time it had an
excuse for having that name as it
had but one saloon. -Since that
time it has doubled up on saloons.
Connection is here made with the
International and frequently with
the undertaker.
Horse Shoe Bend—From Wet-
more you are whirled through a
grazing country. From the road
the cow puncher can be seen in-
specting the brands on the cattle
and sometimes inspecting the
brand on the bottle through which
he looks at the cattle. This is on9
of the greatest curves on the road.
You can drop a $20 gold piece at
the entrance of the curve and go a
mile and then reach over and pick
up the money again if the game
has g6ne your way. From the car
window you can see large groves of
Cnristmas trees, but the gifts on
them have either not ripened or
been too previously plucked be-
fore appearing visible.
''Devil's Backbone—The road
hither is a grand ascent, until
reaching the mountain's crest. The
valley is so superb and you can see
so far that the distance makes your
eyes tired to travel over it. Pas-
sengers will find it more desirable
to* look at it through a glass. In
feet several of seven-year-old rye
would be better. You can here
count the vertebrae of the devil's
backbone. He had a great deal
more backbone than a great many
prominent men.
"Bulverde—Leaving the Back-
bone behind vour back the passen-
ger is whirled jrapidly down hilj.
In case anything should break he
is likely to land either in Comal
county Ox peridition. Bets on
this can be made even. In either
case he would have a hot time, es
peciaily if he got into Comal coun-
ty and could not speak German
However, the lati-st safety appli-
ances are used on this line. All
you have to do is to keep your
bead up and your breakfast down
and you will be ready for dinner,
which can be obtained at Bulverde.
The hotel being in the postoffice
building you can drop a letter and
pick up a meal at the same time.
"Vogel's Valley—Between this
place and Bulverde you cross the
raging Cibolo. While shooting its
rapids the other day a passenger
got half shot and shot the conduc-
tor, whose life was saved by taking
the bottle away from the passenger
and applying it wher< it did the
most good to the greatest number

"Spring Branch—The country
along the line from Anhalt here all
along gives evidence of volcanic
action. To the right can be seen a
funnel-shaped mountain and to the
left any number of empty whiskey
bottles, all of which unmistakably
point their origin to the the 'cray-
ther.' Spring Branch is quite a
watering place. More stock is wa-
tered here. The corporation does
not patronize it, however, because
it if too far from town to come for
that purpose. The cow men and
other live stoc': dealers drive their
stcck here ho .. over for water.

San Antonio Daily Express, this

Why I Joined the Odd Fellows.
Where
I was lecturing in a small town
in this state years ago. I had not
a male relative on earth. All had
died during the war. Starved at
Andersonville. Shot at Gettys-
burg. Killed as Cold Harbor.
All were dead. A fearful boiler
explosion occurred and five men
were killed. They were placed in
a vacant store. The coroner's in-
quest was held, and two rude
boxes were made of slabs, very has-
tily constructed. Two bodies were
placed in each box and and they
were loaded on a sleigh, and as the
sleigh moved over the crisp snow,
the owner called out: "Hurry up,
Jim, remember you have got to go
over to D— this afternoon." The
dead were hastily buried and all
was over. The fifth man was an
Odd Fellow, and the members of
the order came in and closed his
staring eyes, washed and clothed
the body, put it in a nice coffin and
buried it with all signs of honor. I
said to myself, "1 don't want to be
juried like a dog, and I shall join
the Odd Fellows." I had no
thought that I would ever need aid*
only a funeral. I saw, however,
that whi n I gave money to the Odd
Fellows it was not wasted. The
deserving -were helped, the sick
cared for, the orphan clothed and
the widow fed. Last summer I
was t&ken ill. My purse was
stolen and was then not able
to work. Then I appealed to
friends, but the only ones who
who came to my aid were my bro-
thers, the Odd Fellows and Knights
of Pythias. They not only gave
me financial aid, but comforted
me. They were my brethren, and
all eum'mer long the members oi
Friendship Lodge No. 5, of Achi-
son, Kansas, cared for me. Alla-
man, Reed, Smith, all were my
brothers. At last I felt «able to
work, but I needed money. Where
to get it I did not know. I had
much property but I could not sell
it. It I could get out on the road
I was all right. I was in despair,
but the members of Friendship
lodge came to ray rejjef in the
darkest hour and loaned me with-
out a particle of security all the
money I needed for a very long
journey. I am not a member of
Friendship lodge but of Banner
lodge, Marehaltown. Iowa. I have
been an Odd Fellow since 1879,
and in all that time I have no rea-
son to believe that I ever met an
Odd Fellow wlm could not get
help, and what is more, sympathy.
1 read my bible, and I love my
fellow man, and have oared for the
sick, no matter whether they were
my brothers or not, and I have
learned to do good from seeing Odd
Fellows practice what they preach.
Odd Fellowship is charity, not
cold, cruel charity, but living kind-
ness, and as long as the Jericho
road is traveled and men are beset
by thieves, so long will Odd Fel-
lowship flourish.—Gen. G. M.
Bailey, in Review.

he doesn't. He gets up in the
morning and puts on a pair of
socks made in New York, shoes
made in Boston, pants made in
Ohio, and then slips on a pair of
Connecticut suspenders over his
shoulders. He dips some water
from a Missouri bucket with a Chi-
cago dipper and puts into an Illi-
nois pan and washes his Texas
face, using a cake of St. Louis
soap in the operation. He then
drinks Cuban coffee from an Indi-
ana cup and saucer, sweetened with
Louisina sugar and stirred with a
New York spoon. His knife, fork
and plate were made in the north,
and his table cloth ditto. He eats
a piece of Chicago ham fried in,
Kansas lard, sops his St. Louis
biscuit, seasoned with Boston toda
and Massachusetts oal| into Lou-
isiana molasses. He wipes his
whiskers on a Vermont napkin,

The citizen then puts on a Bos-
ton bridle on a Missouri mule,
gets out his Georgia plow and
works all day in a cornfield inbum-
bered, in all probability, by a New
York mortgage. He returns at
night and satisfies his appetite with
another nnported meal, fills his
Indiana lamp with Pennsylvania
oil and lights it with a New York
match. He then fills his Indiana
pipe with North Carolina tobacco
and settles down a comfortable
smoke.
When bedtime comes he takes
down his family bible, which was
printed in Massachusetts, Sreads a
chapter, says a prayer composed in
Jerusalem, then retires to bed,
slips under his imported covers,
and is kept awake for two; long,
hours by the howls of his Texasr

product he has in the house.—

average price where they are ship,

income of $40 per acre. How
