Good Roads Constitutional
Amendment.
Austin, Texas , June—Every
county iu the State of Texas where
good roads are needed, and it is
probable that every c ninsy in Tex-
as could improve its road system,
is vitally interested iu special elect-
ion to be held throughout the State
on Saturday July 19.
At that time an amendment to
the constitution will be submitted
which seeks t > permit a majority,
vote instead of a two-third voté on
good roads bond issues as at pres-
ent.
By the majority plana handicap
of considt rabie voting strength is
removed, for the majority in a pro-
gressive community is usuallv
favorable to progressive ideas and
are willing to spend money to pro-
mote business. They are imbued
with the idea that a dollar not
Working depreciates in value to
zero.
All sections of the State are
seeking to get out an immense
vote and practically every news-
paper, commercial club and the
progressives of each community are
urging the votsrs not to overlook
this opportunity to increase the
business poss bilities of the State.
You are Right Brother.

1 a man had a fifty dollar pup,
lie would look after it carefully and
not let it have the run of the town
day and night. But if he has a
child, it is different, They are
turned loose at a tender age t> go
where they will and do what they
please. People wonder where the
great army of tramps, dead beats,
gamblers, and disreputable women
come from. They are germinated
from the seed gathered in countless
homes and sown bf>adcast upon
the streets of our cities and towns.
There are thousands of children
who are heading in that direction,
who. as far as care is concerned,
are not given equal showing with a
.valuable pup.—Somerville Tribune.
Now you said something, brother
quill driver! It w« uld be a fine
thing for every medium sized town
to have a curfew law, for young-
sters have no business prowling
around on the streets at n^ft.
Most of them are none too good at,
ifcest, and, the average boy can
learn more downright devilment on
the street in one night, than the
m
ents can work out of him in three
weeks, for it is the dirt that always
stick* worst. In many of the towns
there are boys loafing on the streets
who can simply out cuss lots of
grown people. This should not be
so, and the best way to remedy the
trouble is to keep youngsters off the
streets and out of bad company as
much as possible.

OF THE
Fnm Tyranny a#
and the of
Pleasure Seeker .
We Enpliah ahmad are perhaps too
apt to think of the good we do br
being there. "Our money," we aar,
looking at the shops in the Plaxa di
Spagna, and the huge gimcrack ho-
tels, where, not long ago, ancicnl ar-
chitectural gardens and vineyards
lav out in the sun. And the con-
sciousness of benefactors enjoying
themselves makes us amiable. But
we are not doing good so universally,
as we suppose. The fox huuting on
the Campagno, for example, writes a
correspondent in Rome, is little less
than disastrous to the difficult at-
tempts at cultivation made by the
poor people living half the year in
their savage huts. They are very
forlorn people, but they have a most
intelligent hatred for the luxury as
well as for the oppression of tliis
most inconsiderate sport.
They have, however, no redrew .
How many English spectator* of this
vas: old desert plain, with its aque-
ducts and its few shepherds, anil its
singing carters far apart—tins fa-
mous solitude- know that it is prop-
erty. that some five or six great land-
lords own it. and that the handful of
scattered peasants are in their most
eager pav? No land ever looked less
suggestive of landlords, says a writer
in the London Chronicle. The
wretched people live in uninhabitable
lints because stone houses are taxed,
and Uve owners of this desert will not
suffer a tax for their <ake. It is too
"true that an Italian spending a holi-
day in Whiteehapel might have some
fault to find with the state of our
London poor.but then Italians d i not
pay visits of pleasure to Whiter Impel,
and we do pay visits of pleasure to
Home; and we ¡ire born crities, any-
way.
ANOTHER THING
\
"What did you mean by tel'ing rnf
that coal merchant was handing nut
his stock gratis?"
"1 didn't say that. I sail he was
giving it a weigh."
CHICKEN THIEF'S QUERY.
District Attorney Whitman of
New York, discussing certain vicious
members of "the system," fund:
"These fellows are so corrupt that
in the most innocent proposition they
see corruption. They resemble old
Wash White.
"There wus once a missionary out
west trying to educate the ignorant
mountaineers, and he was hard put
to it for a suitable schoolroom. Me
heard one day of sn abandoned hen
house that, being unusually roomy
and light, would serve his turn. Ho
he said to Waah White, an aged
loafer:
" 'Wash, my good man, here's n
dime for you, and I want you to go
up this afternoon and clean out that
old hen house behind McWade'a
barn.'
"Old Waah, with a look of aston-
ishment, pocketed the dime.
" 'But surely, boss,' he said, Vurej v
you wouldn't clean out a hen house
in the daytime!'"
GENIUS ANO FAMft.
Governor Sulaer defined genius in
New York the other day as the de-
velopment of the three faculties of
observation, concentration and analy-
sis.
"Genius," he added, smiling,
"leads to fame, and what is fame's
definition ?
"Well, fame may defined as n de-
vice on the sordid world's part where-
by a man is kept poor, and whereby
at the same time his creditors are
kept po-ti d as to his whereabouts."
HE ALWAYS LAUGHS LAST.
"TTe laugh* be*! who laugh* last."
"T-hen what a hearty laugh the
Englishman who is ¡in Letting to th«
anecdote must get."
