Palestine, Dec. 3. A frail
chise was granted Ijy the City
Council to Mr. J. V. Watkins,
general manager of the Central
Texas Traction Com pan y of Cor-
sicana, to build and operate a
street car system in the city of
Palestine and an interurban from
Corsicana to Palestine. Mr,
Watkins and associates’ propo-
sition was a strictly business one,
and they will put up in the hands
of the city secretary of the city
a forfeit of $1000 that they will
begin work in 120 days from
granting of franchise and that
the street car line will be com
pleted in 1H months. This is
the second franchise asked for
by these gentlemen, as the first
was turned down by the council
on the grounds that it was not a
business propositi an.
The proposed interurban line
between Corsicana and Palestine
will no doubt be pushed more
rapidly now. A cofps of 14
surveyors left Corsicana about
two weeks ago and am expected
to arrive in Palestine about the
tirat. of January. This line Will
bo built, via Fairfield to Pales
tine, and will pass through a
rich belt of both fruit and tim-
ber land. It will also giVe Pal-
estine closer connections with
Corsicana, and will build up the
.surrounding country. Houston

Palestine, Texas, Dec. 4.
A citizeto of Palestine has re-
ceived information that two pre
liminary surveys have just been
made between Wortham and
Fairfield, and that it is general
ly understood that the survey-
ing corps belongs to the flows
ton and Texas Central railroad,
and that a line is to be run from
Wortham to Palestine. The
surveyors have left Fairfield tor
the second time, and the suppo
sition is that they are some
where between Fairfield ‘ and
Palestine. This is good news
to the citizens of Palestine, if
D’uc. For some time past there
have been rumors of this con-
templated extension. From
Wortham to Palestine, via Fair-
field is almost a bee line, arid if
the line is built it would greatly
buildup the surrounding coun-
try.—Houston Chronicle, Dec. 4.
Sui veyors in the Field.
WjACO, Texas, Dec. 2.- A so
cret surveying party has been
seen by several parties a short
distance east of Waco recently,
but the business of the survey
ors was kept a secret, and there
is nothing but speculation as to
the road which is doing the sur-
veying.
Stakes have been driven, the
grade marks, etc., put on the
stakes, and two or three lines
were run. There were six men in
i,ht- surveying party.
It ip'Burmjsed here that these
mo/Twere either the Trinity and
Brazos Valley people, who pro.
ject a line from Palestine to-
wards Waco, or else the Katy is
coming in from its Colmesnei)
line in East Texas.—Houston

THE WORD “NITSHERO.”
TIs Kind You HieWwira 8l#l

Does Mora Servico Than Any Other In
the Russian Language.
The one word Unit does more
6ervide than any other‘in the Rus-
sian language, says a writer in the
Contemporary Review, is nitsliero.
It means “nothing,” or. rather, “it
is nothing.” Most often it is heard
as a deprecatory rejoinder to an ex-
pression of thanks, like the English
“Don’t mention it.* But there
seems to lie no situation in Slavic
life that does not resolve itself into
nitshero.
A Russian diplomatist once said
that when Bismarck served as Prus-
sian ambassador in St. Petersburg
lie wore an iron ring with nitshero
engraved on it. Somebody asked
him what the word signified to him.
Count Bismarck replied, “All Rus-
sia.” Asked to explain himself, ho
fold this 6iory:
One time when he was driving to
u hear hunt over a mountainous
trail the muzhik who held the reins
drove so wildly that he 'came near
dashing the sleigh to pieces. “Look
ouf there,” said Count Bismarck,
“or you will kill us!” The muzhik
oniv shrugged his shoulders and
said, “Nitshero;” His driving be-
en; more furious than ever.
“if you don’t take more cure,’’
shouted Bismarck, dinging fast for
dear life, “I shall be tossed put of
the sleigh!”
“Nitshero,” responded-the driver.
Presently one of the ruifners
struck a rock, the sleigh upset, and
the horses, shying, backed the over-
turned sleigh into a deep ditch,
where it broke through the ice.
Count Bismarck rose from the
wreck, Ins face bleeding from
bruises. In hip wrath he turned on
the muzhik attil tliFeatened to thrash
him. But as he advanced on the
colpr** with uplifted whipstock the
man met him with an apologetic
smile and, wiping the blood from
Biamarek’s forehead, said soothing-
ly, "Nitshero, barin.”
Count Bismarck burst out laugh
ing. lie considered the incident so
characteristic of the Russian charac-
ter that he had the ring made from
some of the wreckage of the sleigh
and henceforth adopted the word
“rutthero” for his talisman while ip
Russia;
Condolence.
One of the hardest things in the
world is to condole with anybody in
a misfortune or a bereavement.
If it were not that the matter is
generally serious a great many fun-
ny stones could IV- printed about the
condolences people, offer to the be-
reaved. But at Manchester some
time ago a hardworking Irishman
fell out of a fourth story window
and broke his neck.
Hip wife was of course in great
distress.
After the funeral a neighbor call-
ed to offer her sympathy and con-
dolence.
“Tt waa n very and thing iniWd “
“Indeed it was. To die Tike that—
to fall out of a fourth story win-
dow.”
“An’ was it so bad?” asked the
visitor. “Sure, an’ I heard it was
only a third story window.”
Tho U*» of Metaphor.
A speaker who attempts to use
nautical metaphors should be thor
oughly familiar with the sea and
tiie working of a ship or he will
strand his speech. A clergyman w as
supplying a pulpit by the seaside.
Thinking to impress the truth more
distinctly upon the congregation,
many of whom were seamen, he
drew the figure of a ship trying to
enter a harbor against a head wind.
Unfortunately for the success of
his metaphor, he knew little of sen
manship. After putting the ship
into several singular positions he
cried out in a voice intended to be
emphatic:
“What shall Vo do next?”
“Goodness only knows.” exclaim
cd a disgusted old tar, “unless you
let her drift starn foremost!”
the water contained below the sur-
face of the earth that if it should be
poured out upon the land it would
cover it to a uniform depth of about
4,0QQ.£eet,” is the remarkable asser-
tion of a geologist. “Below a depth
of about six miles it iB believed that
no water can exist in the rocks, be
cause the tremenA-us pressure prob-
ably closes all pores, but above that steUcMty- A G. Scruggs; Petty-
