MIGRATING TO TEXAS.
MRS. COMER'S BEST JUDGMENT.
Significance of tJio Great Movement
From the Northwest.
Concerning the St. Paul dispatch
to the Houston Chronicle in reference
to the exodus to Texas from the
Northvrest Frank Putnam tells me
that the dispatch from St. Paul was
authentic but that the meaning with
reference to the rendezvousing of peo-
ple In St. Paul during the past 60
days had been misinterpreted. He
says that instead of the entire crowd
stopping there for CO days the facts
and the intention of the article are
that during the CO days these several
j j tm;iioc tuiKRprl through ot.
Paul and in the case of each stopped
from one to several days there get. j
ting ready for the Texas trip.
The movement into Texas is prob-.
ably one of the greatest migrations'
the human family ever made m all
history It is estimated on more or .
less authentic information that some- i
thing like 200000 neople" have come
in h re each year for the past two
tarstnow to get' at exact flg-

Like That of Others It Occasionally
Was at Fault
The mistakes which were plentifully
sprinkled along Mrs. Comer's career J
were never regretted by any one mora j
than by Mrs. Comer herself. "1 usefrj
the very best judgment I had" she
said referring tc one unfortunate oo-
currence "but as usual everything i

went wrong.
"You see I went to Greenville in the
morning with Mrs. Hobart intending
to go on to Nashua; but I changed my
mind when the weather turned cool
and spent the day with Anna Woods
going home -at (kjsk. I'd forgotten my
little bag with my key in It so I went
right ovei to Mrs. Hobart's.
"She'd gone down the road to Mrs.
Cole's but I found her key behind tha
left-hand blind and went right in.
"The house was dark but I said to
myself: T won't light a lamp for fear
of scaring her a timid woman living
all alone as she does.' So I sat in tho
dark till I heard her coming up tha
walk.
"When she found the door "as un-
locked she gave a kind of a gasp; so
I stepped forward and then long as
I had a cold so my voice didn't sound
natural and I was afraid 'twould
scare her she being so timid I put out
ray hand and laid it on her arm.
"And If you'll believe me" finished
Mrs. Comer plaintively "she fell right
over in a faint and cut her forehead
on the edge of the rocking chair and
I thought I'd never bring her to!
"There's no use trying to be -careful
with a woman like her." Youth'B
Companion.

der the foregoing name for the trans-
action of our law business in the Low-

Parrots on Automobile Fad.
The latest automobile fad is a par-
rot in the place that has been filled
for a few months with a hanging
vase for flowers. The parrot idea
originated in New York and is due
to the fact that the long rides in the
machine with no one to talk to have
bored the lady and the chatter of a
blue red and green parrot is a wel-
come diversion. Of course if one
prefers for the parrot may be sub-
stituted some other kind of bird. The
parrot is not in a cage but is al-
lowed to sit on the tonneau door and
is naturally much observed.

New York. Henri Gauliard an ea-
official of the French government has
written to Secretary Loeb offering his
services to President Roosevelt as
guide cn the hunting trip the latter
has planned in Africa after his retire-
ment from the White House. Mr.
Gauliard during his stay in the French
' colonies was himself something of a
Nimrod. He shot seven elephants and
many hippotami although he modest;
ly disclaims . any great prowess and
speaks gently of hungry cannibals who
prefer white men to feast on.
1 After leaving the French govern-
' ment service he traveled around tha
' world in the search of health and is
now In the employ of the Chateau Dea
Beaux Arts at Huntington L. I.
Altogether in Mr. Gauliard's experi-
ence the most dangerous animal in his
part of Africa is the buffalo. But if
there is not much risk from the ani-
mals there is some from the natives. In
his district they were all cannibals.
"They eat human flesh every day"
he said. "They keep slaves and eat
them when they are ready. Have I
seen them? Only once. It is diffi-
cult very difficult to assist at their
fetes. But I know that many white
men have been eaten. They prefer a
white man when they can get him. If
I had not had many soldiers with ma
ihey would have eaten me."
Making Record as a Traveler.
Ward Miller late of Wausau Wi3.
Is making a record for himself as a
traveler. He went south with the
Cubs in the spring and when waivers
were asked on his services Pittsburg
stepped in and took him. He posed
as a sub-swatter with the Pirates for
a short time and Barney Dreyfuss
finding he could make a deal with
Clark Griffith turned Miller oyer to
the Reds for Blaine Durbin whom
Dreyfuss has been after for many
moons. Durbin who is a southpaw
never had a fair trial while he'
was In Chicago Chance having too
many good pitchers. Dreyfus thinks-
Durbin is a wonder and will help the
Pirates to many victories this season.
