Yon can do a little every day fori
the welfare of humanity without i
"doing" your neighbor.
Submission is dead but in kill-
Ing it the amis have made thousands!
of prohibition votes that will have to j
be reckoned with in the future. j
Religion is righteousness anil
righteousness does not need a regi-
ment of soldiers nor a special stat-
ute book to make Itself felt in a com-
munity.
If demands for legislation contin-
ue to progress in ilie same direction
it will not be long until we are burn-
ing disbelievers and witches in
Texas. Surely the ministry must be
getting weak when legislation rath-
er than the persuasive power of the
gospel is necessary to hold human-
ity in subjection to the church.
The whole thing in a nutshell.
Judge Robertson of Travis county
in discussing Sunday legislation at
Austin said: "While 1 am in favor
of remembering the Sabbath day
and keeping it holy. 1 am not in fa-
vor of legislation to that effect be-
cause our constitution provides for
the separation of church and state
I don't believe we can legislate re-
ligion in any people or community
A Kansas farmer in a letter to the
Topeka Capital 011 the good roads
question says that it is the makers
and users of automobiles who are
creating all this talk about good
roads He says that the farmers are
not kicking about the roads and that
they are good enough for them.
This is the kind of spirit that is
largely responsible for the fact that
we have so few miles of good roads.
The Herald does not believe that
there is a farmer in the country who
would not deep down in his heart be
glad to see a road that is good the
year around leading from his front
gate to his nearest trading point.—
Denison Herald.
Here is a good problem. The Gen-
eva ι Neb. t Gazette says: "J. X. Tay-
lor brought to this office a copy of
his ild-hom· paper the Adams
Count > Record. published at West
t'ni >n. Ohio in which a fish story
tli.it lias caused considerable 'fig-
gerin' is published. The problem is
as follows: Work out the following
problem without any help and re-
port to this office. Charley met his
friend James upon the street and
told him that he liad been fishing
'How many fish did you catch?' ask-
ed James. Charley leplied: If to the
nimber of the books of the Old Ten- f
anient you add (he number of books I
f the New Tostaiuent; multiply that j
iy the number of apostles who were
iresent at the transfiguration; di-
ide by the number of books writ-
en by Luke; subtract tlie nuttiber of
inies the Israelites marched around
ericho; multiply by the number of
litres of silver .ludas received for
>etraying Christ; divide by the num-
1er of spies Moses sent into Canaan;
idd the number of letters in the
lame of the city iu which a man
■limbed up a tree to see Christ; di-
'ide by the number of apostles that
vere called the Sons of Thunder'
he answer will be the number of
ish I caught.' The problem has
•aused all bible students in that vl-
•initv to sit up and fret busy and the
laper has a column or so of ans-
wers to the same. If you are good at
lible lore and also at mathematics
çet busy 011 this one."
Mr. Roosevelt has one particular-
ly interesting offer. The story is
old in a Bridgeport Conn. dispalch
is follows: "Professor James M. At-
ns of this oil y has written President
Roosevelt offering liim an engage-
ment of thirty weeks at $ 10M00
per week ($300000 in all) to head
ii wild west show to be known as the
Theodore Roosevelt Rough Riders
Congress of the World.' In case the
president accepts Atlas declares he
will guarantee liini all or any part
nf the money before the show starts
and he will he ready to take the
road by May 1 1909. Atlas will put
several special cars at the disposal
af the president in case he desires
[0 continue his literary activity
while on the road."

♦ GOSSIP OF NEW YORK. ♦
Ity (>l<-nn Guernsey.
New York. Feb. 13*.—"Roses are
red and violets blue; sugar is sweet
and so are you."
Such saccharine sentiments
slightly changed to meet modern
conditions but still sufficiently redo-
lent of the happy memories of youth
and calf-love as to be recognizable
are to be seen in thousands of shop
windows today. Their influence is
'evident in the glowing faces of
thousands of pedestrians who smile
at the display with all the blase
worldly wisdom of Manhattanese
and are yet made glad by the mem-
ories the tender messages invoke.
St. Valentine in the annual visita-
tion of his tender spirit supplies
the incentive for a million fond rec-
ollections that otherwise would
sleep soundly in the cemetery of
memory. From the limbo of the sub-
conscious mind stalk the ghosts of
millions of dead loves clad in cere-
ments of filmy lace embellished
with hearts.
That the rising generation of
New Yorkers is not lost to senti-
ment. is abundantly proven by the
throngs that today surround the
counters where are sold the offer-
ings which will be placed on the
shrine of St.. Valentine. The swollen
mail bags and the heavy burdens of
(he letter carriers also tell their
story. It is a. safe prognostication
that many thousands of maidenly
hearts will be a-flutter tomorrow
with the joy that comes of a protes-
tation and a promise half-revealed
and half-concealed in the flowery
versification affected by St. \'alen-
tine.
While the day of St. Valentine
the able ally of the pagan Cupid is
essentially a festival for the young
there are many to be found among
his devotees who are gray of hair
and fat of paunch and years. Shame-
faced business men and financiers
whose lives are devoted to a quest
of dollars and who would not be
suspected for a moment of any emo-
tion resembling tender sentiment
are mingling today with the callow
devotees of the good saint at the
valentine counters of the depart-
ment stores the stationers jewelers
and florists.
The Valentine counters this year
are indicative of a change in artistic
standards that speaks well for the
esthetic and sentimental growth of
til.· people. Those pictorial horrors of
past years the comic valentines
have almost wholly disappeared from
the New York shops and while their
place is to some extent occupied by
the alleged "humorous" post card
the latter are lacking in the extreme
vulgarity that was the distinguish-
ing mark of the old "comics." Deal-
ers say that there is no demand for
the indecent caricatures with their
disgusting doggerel in any part of
the country and the valentine print-
ers have ceased to make them.
Some of the valentines on sale to-
day are more expensive than any
ver before produced. Heart-shaped
bon bon and jewel boxes inlaid with
precious stones and costing hun-
dreds of dollars are among the of-
ferings. Many novel and expensive
designs are offered by jewelers and
silversmiths to gladden the hearts
of the cepients. The stationer no lon-
ger has a monopoly of the valentine
business and in New York the pa-
per lace creations are decidedly out
of style except among the poorer
classes. Flora! valentines made of
roses carnations violets and other
flowers woven into heart-shaped
wreaths are extremely popular
among the young men who hope to
make a "hit" with their lady loves
and the florists are doing a rushing
business. The confectioners have
enterd the field with elaborate val-
entine like boxes tilled with choic-
est bon-bons and thousands of
youngsters will reverse the old rule
and attempt to reach the hearts of
their best girls by way of the palate.
Books are increasingly popular as
St. Valentine tributes and New
York publishing houses have brought
out many volumes of sentimental
veise especially suitable to the oc-
casion.
The annual St. Valentine's kettle-
drum entertainment will be held at
Sherry's this evening and many
other social affairs in which high so-
ciety will participate are scheduled
for the night.

Waxahachie Has to Bow to tin» In-
evitable—Scores of Citizens
I'rove It.
After reading the public statement
of this representative citizen of
Waxahachie given below you must
come to this conclusion: A remedy
which cured years ago which has
kept the kidneys in good health
since can be relied upon to perform
the same work in other cases. Read
this:
J. D. Nelson farmer living seven
miles r rn of Waxahachie Texas
says: "Whenever I hear anyone com-
plaining of backache I advise them
to try Doan's Kidney Pills as I know
this remedy is ono of merit. In 1905.
I i»»'i a pain and lameness across the
small of my back and when I would
stoop or lift these pains were made
much worse. I tried several remedies
but nothing helped me until I
bought Doan's Kidney Pills at B. W.
Fearis' drug store. I used only the
contents of two boxes but that was
sufficient to effect a cure that has
remained permanent up to this
date."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50

many valuable ingredients of Foley'»

text books and authorities as a uric
add solvent and antiseptic for the
urine. Take Foley's Kidney Remedy
as soon as you notice any irregular-
ities. and avoid a serious malady. Β
