The Southern Pacific Railroad is
seeking permission from the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to ex-
tend its line 28 miles to Brownsville,
and it is stated that this will be con-
tested strongly by the Missouri Paci-
fic on the ground that the territory
is already served by the latter road.
. In other words, the Missouri Pacific
claims that it got there first and there

- Speaking of Jasper—the city voted
last week to incorporate. That was
a progressive step that should be giv-
en proper recognition. Jasper at the
time of the election possibly was the
largest city in the state that was not
'incorporated. Certainly, it was the
most progressive. The step will
mean the rapid advancement of that
city, and. should result in the even
greater strides than Jasper county
has made in the past. It was a trib-
ute to the citizenship that undaunted
by two failures of incorporation elec-
tions a third was held, at which the
step was finally taken.

The Waco Times-Herald says that
bootleg liquor in that city has advanc-
ed from $4.00 to $10.00 a gallon, and
that by January bootleggers in Waco
will be so scarce that the liquor will
bring $15.00 a gallon. In other words
bootleg liquor is scarce ad hard to
get, and therefore bringsv a fancy,

this year will eclipse anything ever
seen in this district.
In the way of entertainments, some
unusual stunts have been provided,
the secretary promises that no mat-
ter what visitors may have thought
of past performances, the Fair this
year will eclipse anything they have
ever seen in the way of education, en-
tertainment and excitemnt.
Advance sale of tickets will start
in Beaumont within the next few
days, and it is believed that attend-
ance at the Fair this year will be
greater than ever in the history of
the organization. The people of
Southeast Texas and Southwest Louis
iana are especially invited to make
it a point to visit the Fair this year
on the promise of every official that
the visits to the Fair heretofore,
while interesting in many details, will
be more so this year than ever before
in history.

How the late Dr. Charles W. Eliot' |
weighed the advantages of hardship
in a boy’s early life is indicated in the ! —
following, which was taken from one
of his valuable volumes, “A Late Har- '
vest:” |
Every normal boy, like every man '
who is worth his salt, likes productive 1
labor: first, because there is pleasure
in the bodily and mental exertion it-
self; secondly, because he takes an in-
terest in the product of his labor; and
thirdly, because he values what that
product yields for the family. The
boy’s productive work is done immed-
iately for his family, but it also gives
him useful training in earining capac-
ity.
The country-bred child who has tak i
en active part in the defense of the,
family against the rigors of nature,
and in the support and care of the
household, has learned lessons in co-
operation and loving service which
have high moral value, and promises
much for the adult life.
The thoughtful son of a poor man
is sure to learn early two lessons
which will be useful all his life. The
first is to avoid unnecessary spending
and the second is to save money or
goods for future use. He distin-
guishes between transitory and dura-
ble satisfactions, avoids spending his
earnings for the unsatisfying gratifi-
cations, in order to use his money
later on the satisfying. This is first-
rate practice in discrimination and
self-control.
Poor men’s children receive a val-
uable training in going without super-
fluities and in avoiding excess; and
this training comes in a perfectly na-
tural and inevitable way, and not
through artifical regulation or discip-
line. Such experience heightens the
enjoyment of necessaries and com-
forts not only in childhood but also
a grave!
error to suppose that luxurious living ~
is more enjoyable than plain living.
On the contrary, plain living is much
the more enjoyable in the long run,
besides being more wholesome.
Thoughtless people are apt to pity
poor men’s children because they
have few objects with -tfhich to play.
They imagine that rich men’s children
who who have expensive "toys enjoy
themselves better at play. ’
is without foundation, in fact, and is
altogether wasted. .... . c <
It, is just as true of children as it
is of adults, that wealth of precious
material is not necessary to keen
enjoyment of play.—Farm & Ranch.

near Pearsall, which he irrigates from
two shallow wells. This year he mar-
keted 900 crates of lettuce from
three' acres, 1,750 crates of cauliflow-
er from 7 acres, and 531 crates of
onions an acre from 16 acres of early
Bermuda onion, cabbage, tomato,

growers and plant dealers in other
places, and has an acre and a half
