Another of the “Lost Arts."
A generation ago, when it was
impossible to obtain such elegant
toys at so little expense as they
may be had now, home made ar-
ticles were greatly prized and child-
ren were taught that the work of
their own hands made a far more
acceptable gift than bought things.
The parents who sit at home, after
their children have retired, and with
tender secrecy manufacture toys to
give them pleasure, get far more of
the real joy of the season than do
they who trudge around the stores.

Frying Doughnuts.
When frying dpughnuts have a
pan of boiling hot water standing up-
on the range and as each doughnut
is taken out of the fat dip it into the
hot water very quickly, and observe
the quantity of fat washed off from
them in this way. The grease does
not allow the water to penetrate in-
to the doughnut and the heat of the
cake evaporates the water almost in-
stantly. After the frying is done al-
low the water to become cold and
take from it the lard which has be-

of lard, and in taking the superfluous
fat from the doughnuts you render
them easier of digestion.

Shelling Nuts.
To remove pecan meats whole, pour
boiling water over the nuts and let
them stand until cold. Then stand
the nut on end and crack with a ham-

Two Kinds of Flour.
Always keep two kinds of flour,
using hard wheat for bread and
spring wheat for all kinds of pastry.
Spring wheat requires less shortening
and is especially fine for pies—
makes a short, flaky crust.
Dried Fruit.
To get the best results from dried
fruits of any kind, put to soak in
i warm water to which a generous
pinch of salt has been added.

yolk of one hard boiled egg, three

Piece of butter size of an egg or
still larger, three eggs, well beaten;
half teacupful of sweet milk, half
teaspoonful scant, of mustard, little
salt and black pepper; vinegar to

aristocracy. *
It comes with majestic step through the fruited corn fields,
through the waving wheat, and through the cotton patch. It is
seen in the herd that grazes on the hills and in the creamery
that stands in the valley. It shows in the smoke that rises from
factories and in the revolutions of their tireless wheels. It is
heard in the clink of the dollars at the bankers counter, and in
the touch of the full pails that belong to the tin bucket brigade.
But it means more than this. It means more than the accumu-
lation of wealth. It cannot be measured by mere dollars and
cents. It means a vast structure with justice, virtue, morality,
and intelligence as the corner stones. It means a steady growth
in these great characteristics and principles. Without them any
structure is built upon the sands. It finds its happiest develop-
ment in the school room, where red-cheeked children crowd the
benches, and youthful ardor masters the experience of the past
and aspires to dominion of the future.
Is it here? Is it here in full blown glory? Is its stature
dwarfed, or its splendor diminished? Has it brought contentment
to our people, and are they satisfied with their finances, their
servants, or their government? Is there any spirit of discontent
floating in the air, and if so why? Texas is the paradise of bu-
colic production; is it the "Vale of Avoca” for the contented soul?
I hardly think so and I will tell you why.
Texas surpasses all of her sister states in the production of cot-
ton, rice, cattle and demagogues. Her cotton is largely shipped to
other lands where it is manufactured and sold by the purchasers
at a great profit. Her cattle and rice feed the world. Her dem-
agogues are reserved solely for home consumption and appear to
• be as useless and prolific as the house fly. There is no demand
for them anywhere, because all lands are overstocked, and human
thought stands appalled at an effort to ascertain a reason for their
existence.
Some one has said that the demagogue was created to make
the world humble, because he always endeavored to keep it dis-
satisfied.
He is found in every community, and whatever be his fault he
cannot be accused of a lack of industry. Everywhere he is con-
stantly telling the people that they are being cruelly robbed, that
they are absolutely at the mercy of more favored sections, that
their rulers are corrupt, that government is a farce and that jus-
tice has no temple on the earth.
He has thus talked so often and so long to the people of Texas,
that in many places he has become enthroned as a deity; wor-
shipped as a statesman, and loved as a patriot. Whole communi-
ties listen with bated breath when he speaks, and admiring pa-
rents point him out to their children as the lofty spirit who con-
stantly shields them from the oppression of the world. It goes
so far that many of our people believe that they are in danger
of becoming white slaves and some of them actually glory in the
faith that they are downtrodden and oppressed. There used to
be an old man in Eastern Texas, who when one inquired how he
wag getting along, always answered “poorly, poorly, thank God.”
It is really strange that our people listen to the demagogue but
they do. It is stranger still that they elect him to office, but
they do. It seems clear that they prefer to be told of their mis-
fortunes than to be told of their faults. The demagogue tells them
that they have no faults but many misfortunes, and they believe
him. He weeps with them and they vote for him. He tells them
that the corporations are thirsting for his blood and they fly to
arms in his defense. They do not seem to realize that he is an
18-karat fraud, and a sixteen-to-one hypocrite, and that he is the
most expensive nuisance that ever beset a state. He has cost
Texas more money than all the tariff sheets ever invented. He
has done her more damage than all the armies that ever marched
against her, but “with all his faults she loves him still.”
I assert today that Texas is, in climate, soil and productiveness,
the “Garden of the Lord,” and that if in any particular she is be-
hind any sister state the cause of the default is in her laws or in
the demagogues who make or execute them.
To demonstrate this, I beg you to consider for a brief moment
her unparalleled resources. She produces annually nearly four
million bales of cotton and two million tons of cotton seed. She
leads all the states in the production of cattle and of rice. She can
be put’abreast with any of them in the production of corn, oats,
hay, pork, iron, poultry or dairy products. She produces more
oil than she does milk. She is numbered among the first in the
production of lumber, coal, horses, sheep and fruits. Beyond ques-
tion she leads the world in the production of jaw materials. Other
states may lead in the production of some of the things enumer-
ated, but no other state can produce them all. Illinois can pro-
duce more corn, but she produces neither cotton nor rice. Penn-
sylvania may produce more iron, but she has fewer cattle. It is
one of the strangest facts in the history of our country that, with
such wonderful resources, the people of Texas are constantly com-
plaining that their lot is hard, and that the wealth of the nation
is rapidly concentrating in the bleak and barren states of New
England, where to quote the famous phrase of Governor Coke, in
describing Alaska, “they have nine months winter and the other
three of d----d cold weather.”
A great many years ago Hon. David B. Culberson, one of the
boldest and ablest of our public servants, a man who was not
afraid to think and not afraid to say what he thought, in a speech
at Honey Grove, said: “The North is the main beneficiary of our
crops. We pay out our money for the products manufactured
from the raw material which we produce. The North employs the
great auxiliary agencies of skill and intelligence in the produc-
tion of wealth, while the South relies on muscle and the mule.
