As little as has been said of it,
there are thirty-four millionaires
in Texas. At the beginning of
the Civil War, we doubt if there
were that many in" the United
States. But how insignificant is
this when we look east at New
York with her nine hundred and
thirty-six princely millionaires.—
Panola Watchman.
IIow proud we fellows of the
tripod and paste pot should be
when we reflect that one of the
above thirty-six is a newspaper

The supreme court has decided
that the M. K. & T. Ry. was re-
sponsible for the spread of small-
pox in Hunt countv, by letting
one of their employes, who had

There is a lot of slush finding

PREVALENCE OF KIDNEY
TROUBLES.
So prevalent and deceptive is
kidney trouble that it very often
becomes well advanced before it
is even suspended, therefore, it
behooves all to be on the lookout.
Should you be ill. or not feeling
well, it would be wise to first pay
attention to tha kidneys and as-
certain if they are the cause
your trouble.
A simple method of finding out
if your kidneys are at fault has
often been called to the attention
of our readers through Dr. Kil-
mer's Swamp-Root advertising
in the columns of this paper, and
it is now repeated for the benefit
of those who may be interested.
Viz: "Fill a bottle with urine
ad set asids for twenty-foun
hours or so, and if it shows a
brick-dust sedime t or cloudy
appearance, or if the urine is
scanty or profuse, or if it is found
necessary to go often through the
day, or get up many times during j
the night, you may be sure your
kidneys need attention.
After careful inquiry we' find

WAS IIER LIFE A FAILURE?
There wag a woman loved by
the poor who knew her. One
who spent her last days in an
alma house It was evening—a
calm still evening in early autumn
and she v as sitting by the win-
- alone.
She was old, old, old. Her
hair was as white as the driven
show, but her eyes were soft and '
tender.
Back, back, through the veil,
time had drawn over the pa9t,
her thoughts wandered. She was
a child again. A girl with a
sweet fair face and dark passion-
ate eyes, kneeling at her mother's
grave. And the memory of a
wild prayer arose before her :
"Oh, God, make me all my
j mother would have me, Help
me to do and live so the world,

"Here lies the mother of a noble
| woman." 'Help me, O God, to
