that there is entirely (oo mneb

lobbyists down there, anyway.
These excursion parties, planned
for a purpose and costing the repre-
sentatives nothing, afford them
splendid recreation, and an oppor-
tunity for a good time. If the
legislature had been as dUlig$nt in
the discharge of its dutidh at the
first as it has shown in the last
week or two of the session there
would be no occasion for the call
:or ap extra session.

war vessels and seem to be masters
kof the situation.
An exchange says some young]
men think they are so sweet that
they expect a girl to hol^their
hands all the time.
Rev. John Brown, an Indiana
divine, makes the emphatic declar-
ation that there are no plumes in
leaven, and further that no woman
who wears plnmes on her hat can
ever get there. The Rev. is^aedng^ but pleasant,
observations come a little late to
benefit those who are really yearn*
ing for relief—that is those who
have to foot the? bill for expensive
headwear. The spring season is
already here and those who have
not heard of the restrictions placed
upon such habits in^ the heavenly
dty have already placed their
orders and on next Sunday will be
on dress parade with bonnet plumes
and all. Thirty days later if the
Rev. John could only see that evil
expression and hear the frightful
language of the liege lord as the
bill is presented to him for pay-
ment, he would have occasion to
further amend his former statement
and include the husband and father
in his restrictions.
The Austin Statesman is giving
some attention to the pistol toter.
It seems since the legislature has
convened, and even before as to
that matter, there have been those
who, from fear or otherwise, load
themselves to the guard with fire
arms—even so much that the pock-
ets bulge out and give to the walk-
ing arsenals that go up and down
in the streets of the city the ap-
pearance of deformity. So preva-
lent has the custom become of go-
ing about “loaded” that the chil-
dren are suspected, as the follow-
ing from the Statesman will show:
"There are boys in Austin wearing
safety pins who also carry six
shooters. They ought to be spanked
with a barrel stave and put to bed.

ChRONIC BRONCHITIS
CURED.
"For ten years I had chrouic
bronchitis so bad that at times I
could not speak above a whisper,
writes Mr. Joseph Coffman, of
Montmorenci, Ind. “I tried all
remedies available, but with no
success. Fortunately my employ-
er suggested that I try Foley’s
Honey and Tar. Its effect was
almost miraculous, and I am now
cured of the disease. On my re-
commendation many people have
used Foley’s Honey and Tar, and
always with satisfaction. Sold by
Kiudel-Clark Drug Co.
Mrs. E. J. Wilson of Cleburne,
lister of J. L. and T. E Riggins of
this city, died at that place this
morning at about 4 o’clock, after
a serious illness of'several weeks’
duration. Mr. T. E. Riggins
went to Cleburne yesterday after-
noon and was with his sister when
death came. J. L. Riggins went
to Cleburne today.

DREADFUL ATTACK OF
WHOOPING COUGH.
Mrs. Ellen Harrisoo, of 300 Park
Ave., Kansas City, Mo., writes as
follows: “Our two children had a
severe attack of whooping cough,
one of them in the paroxysm of
coughing would often faint and
bleed at the nose. We tried every-
thing we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our
family doctor who prescribed
Foley’s Honey and Tar. With
the very first dose they began to
improye and we feel that it has
saved their lives.” Refuse substi-

Judge Poindexter on Seduction.
In charging the grand jury the
beginning of the present term of
district court, Judge Poindexter
talked plainly of the crime of se-
duction. He said Texas is in ef-
fect without a law for this crime;
a man could wrong a lady or girl,
and when he got his case put off
by the court as long as possible he
couid procure a license and offer to
marry her. If she refused, the
“jig’s up,” and if she married him
its the same. He’ll marry her and
in two minutes desert. This is no
protection to her, but it is to him.'
I have never married but one
couple since I have been on the
bench and I don’t intend to marry
any more. That scoundrel after
solemnly promising to love, honor
and protect the girl, deserted her
before he left the court house. I
won’t be a party again to any such
a farce.
Judge Poindexter expressed the
hope that the legislature would
“have manhood to enact a law to fit
the crime. And in ttyis Judge
Poindexter has all the good people
with him.
