“Excessive talking is a danger-
ous disease,” says a Russian
scientist. Certainly, but he is
far behind time in trying to tell
us so. American politicians beat
him to that discovery many years
ago.
“How long since you have seen
a woman darning a pair of
socks?” asks an exchange, thus
offering an admirable topic for
the historical societies.
Touching on the topic of lan-
guage reforms, although not an
authority on the subject, we per-
sonally are of the opinion that
there are too many commas in
the English language.
“With seven stolen bases and
only two men left on bases looks
like the locals are after a record
on the paths this season,” says
the Sealy News. A pretty fair
showing, indeed, but what’s the
use, Dickerson alone stole 7 from
the Mattress Boys, when the
contest between the Sealy stars
and the locals was pulled off on
the local diamond Sunday before
last.
Fritz Fuchs, the new oil king
of Texas, does not seem to culti-
vate the ambition of becoming a
money baron. He not only shares
his prosperity with all his rela-
tives by placing them in comfort-
able financial circumstances, but
also donates to churches and
other institutions, designed for
the benefit of the public general-
ly. Fritzie doesn’t believe in lay-
ing up riches and losing his old
time friends, probably knowing
fullwell that a man without
friends is miserable and poor in
deed, no matter how much gold
one might be able to claim.
The Successful Farmer.
The happiest man in the land
today is the successful farmer.
He sits under his own vine and
fig tree undisturbed by the mad-
dening noise of the great city.
Banks fail, railroads go into the
hands of receivers, booming
towns collapse, all business stag-
nates. But the wise farmer can
snap his finger at these things.
He is the monarch of all he sur-
veys on his broad acres. And
the honesty of his boys and girls
is guarded against temptations,
and in them he is giving the
country its best manhood and
womanhood. The farmer is to
be envied, and, if he is not con-
tented with his lot, his is lacking
in wisdom.—Johnson City Enter-
prise.

A German soldier in Belgium
was one morning wending his
way to camp with a fine rooster
in his arms, when he wa« stop-
ped by his colonel to know if he
had been stealing chickens. “No,
colonel,” was the reply. “I saw
the old fellow sitting on the wall,
and I ordered him to crow for
Germany, and he wouldn’t—so I
just took him prisoner.”—Ex.
An Irish-American Opinion
About a German-American
Editor Wilke of the Cat Spring
Courier says he is going to make
a weekly out of his little paper,
which has been hitherto publish-
ed but twice a month. We com-
mend his purpose, and courage.
We yield, the limit of admiration
to any American born boy who
makes his own print shop—
everything but the type—and
even makes part of that. A
youth of seventeen who can build
a print shop plant and print a
paper in a language which is
almost foreign to him is entitled
to the admiration of civilized
mankind.
Young Mr. Wilke has built up
his paper without much support.
He has fought obstacles that
might stagger a professional.
We take off our hat to him and
commend him to his people as a
youthful genius well deserving
of their support.—Sealy News.

NATIVE LIFE OFTHE FAR PACIFItt.
The photograpn shows the belle
of the interesting Samoan village at
the Panama-Pacific International Ex-
position at San Francisco. The struc-
tures in this village, comprising the
native thatched huts of the Samoan,
or as they were formerly called, the
Navigator islands, were brought In-
tact from the native villages and are
absolutely faithful -in all their fea-
tures. There are many native fam-
ilies living in the village who for
the edification of visitors perform the
aquatic feats in which the islanders
excel, and dance the rhythmic native
dances. The life of the people of the
Pacific ocean is wonderfully illus-
trated at the Exposition, and of all
the races none are more interesting
than the Samoans who exhibit many
traces of Aryan descent. No Exposi-
tion visitor should fail to see these
unique tribespeople.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
i—Introductory
“Know America” is a slogan that
should ring out from every school
room, office, farm and shop in this na-
tion. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable citi-
zen, and no one can merit so dis-
tinguished a title until he is well in-
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is a commercial age and civ-
ilization is bearing its most golden
fruit in America. We are noted for
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa-
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewiise we have men who will
go down in the world’s history as pow-
erful products of their age. For, stand-
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the com-
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil-
osophers, architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.
As Michael Angelo took a rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
of an angel that ever beckons man-
kind upward and onward, Hill took
the desert of the Northwest and with
bands of steel made it blossom like a
rose, dotted the valleys with happy
homes and built cities in waste places.
As Guttenberg took blocks of wood
and whittled them into an alphabet
and made a printing press that
flashed education across the con-
tinent like a ray of light upon
ft new born world, McCormick took
a bar of iron and bent it Into'
a reaper and with one sweep of
his magic mind broke the shackles
that enslaved labor of generations yet
unborn, and gave mankind freedom
from drudgery, and lifted the human
race into a higher zone of life.
As Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,-
enabling the British Isles to plant her.
flog upon every continent washed by
the ocean’s waves, and to make foot-
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that has made America master of the
world’s finances, brought Kings to our
cashier’s windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
There is no study quite so interest-
ing as progress; no sound so magic
as the roar of industry and no sight
so inspiring as civilization in action.
A full realization of America's part in
the great events of the world past,
present and future will thrill every
human heart with pride, patriotism
and faith in Republican institutions.
Through the courtesy of the Agri-
cultural and Commercial Press Ser-
vice, the readers of this paper will be
permitted to study America; her ag-
ricultural, manufacturing and min-
eral development, mercantile, bank-
ing and transportation systems which
are the wonder of the world. The
first article of the series will deal
with transportation and will appear
at an early data
