ttennan, Tex., Dec. 8.—At a ma as
faeetln* of citizens at the courthouse
last night to discuss the question of
11 commission form of government,
IctL J. Z* Oaston of Houston delivered
|a wry Interesting and Instructive
Lft on the subject, after F. G. lCd-
wds had been chosen ahalrman of
tu meeting and Hon. B. P. Gafford
lid F. G. Dillard had each made> a
[ lirlef talk.

Interest, Formerly the treasurer re-
ceived a salary of fc>,000 and had an
assistant who received $750, whereas
it Witt. be seen that in addition to the
interest received on deposits the city
makos a saving In this department
alono of $2,150 per year. The head
of each department is held absolute-
ly responsible for his employes and
for all funds and duties intrusted to
,hirn or his deputies. The city of
Houston has an assessed valuation of
|f2,600,000 and the bonded indebted-
ness when the commissioners took
c harge waa $2,500,000, which Indebt-
edness had been accumulating since
the days of the carpet-bagger. We
charge for every franchise granted
by the city and recently received
$100,000 for a terminal franchise
granted to a railroad company. Even
a franchise for a new switch Is
charged for, nominally, of course.
The receipts for the city of Houston
in taxes amounted to $1,121,651.70,
and the annual budget was a more
liberal one than usual this year and
yet only took $756,420 of that sum,
ieaving a balance of $355,000 In tho
treasury at the end of the year, which
will be used for street paving and
purposes in tho way of improvements.
The various departments of the city
government are getting fiiong better
now than ever before and at the re-
cent carnival, held In tho city of
Houston only one robbery was re-
ported, which speaks well for the po-
lice department. There are, I believe,
a few more police now employed than
formerly. The old Offices of mayor
and alderman were made vacant by
the special act of the legislature that
granted the new franchise to tho city
of Houston. People who fought
against the adoption of this new form
of government are nearly all of them
in favor of it now. We have no va-
riety theaters with saloon attach-
ments. It is possible, of course, that
you might elect bad men to these
offices, but if you should the people
would rise up and put them out, that's
all.
"The referendum means this. If
the council should refuse to grant a
franchise or otherwise go against the
will of the people a petition of 500
names will compel them to order an
election or the councilmen can order
an election themselves whenever they
desire on any special matter. The
council slta as a board of equalization
for sixty days after the tax rolls for
the year are completed, but the body
Is always ready to hear grievances or
attend to matters of taxation."
At the conclusion of Colonel Gas-
ton's address a resolution of thanks
waa tendered him for his presence
and hl8 talk and Mr. Dillard read the
following resolution, which was unan-
imously adopted by the mass meetr
lng:
"Resolved, That It. i3 tho sense of
this meeting that this city should
adopt the commission form of govern,
ment; that with this end in view the
chairman of the Business Men's Club
appoint a committee of five, to be
later named, to confer with the coun-
cil and request it to appoint a com-
mittee to act with tho committee ap-
pointed by the chairman of the Busi-
ness Men's Club to prepare a charter
embodying this Idea of government
and bring it before the legislature."
Much interest was manifested in
the mass meeting, thero being a largo
attendance and Colonel Gaston was
asked many questions on tho subject
he was discussing, each of which ho
took time to answer In his talk. Mem-
bers of the Sherman city council
were present, one of whom expressed
the belief that tho council as a wholo
will look favorably upon tho proposi-
tion to change the form of tho city's
government.
Several representative Denison
citizens wero present at the meet-
ing.

Campaign for Building Fund Will Be
Prosecuted Until the Required
540,000 la Raiasd.
Sherman, Tex., Dec. 8.—The Y. M.
C. A. headquarters have been moved
from No. 121 North Travis to Allen
H. Chambers' store. No. 139 North
Travis, and hereafter Secretary Shipp
will be found at this nmber. All thoso
interested in any way in the associa-
tion movement and desire informa-
tion in connection with same or wish
to talk over any matters concerning
the Y. M. C. A., are invited to call on
Secretary Shipp, who will be only too
glad to be of service in these matters.
Although the public campaign clos-
ed last Wednesday night the workers
are still soliciting for funds in a quiet
way and will continue to do so until
not less than $40,000 is raised. If
anything there is a greater Interest
now on the part of the public In gen-
eral in the building movement than
thero has been at any time since the
building campaign was Inaugurated.
Several business men as well as a
goodly number of the young men have
said they would gladly Increase or
even double their present subscription
if necessary in order to raise the
amount of money required for the
erection of a suitable building In
Sherman.
Every assurance has been given that,
a total of not less than $40,000 will
be subscribed: within a few weeks. A
large number of the citizens have not
yet subscribed who have promised to
aid in tho building movement and even
a larger number who have not yet
been approached will contribute to-
wards the Y. M. C. A. building when
asked to do so.
If, during tho building campaign
which closed last Wednesday night,
the business men of Sherman had
taken as much interest and contribut-
ed as liberally as the young men did,
there would have been raised in tho
neighborhood of $75,000. Because of
tho interest taken, the enthusiasm
| manifested and the generous giving by
j our young men there ought to remain
j no doubt, in the minds of anv one as
to the appreciation of a Y. M. C. A.
j building on the part of the young men
of our city.
Just as soon as tho $40,000 has been
subscribed steps will be taken for the
erection of the building and same will
bo pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.

To tho County Judge and Members
of the Commissioners' Court of Gray-
son County: We, the undersigned
teachers, wish to extend our sincere
thanks and hearty appreciation to
your honorable body for the comfort
able quarters which you have recently
provided for us. The superintend-
ent's office ha3 recently been enlarg-
ed, carpeted and furnished with
chairs and tables so that we are now
enabled to conduct our examinations
in the office instead of going from
place to place, as has been the case
heretofore. This room is so elegantly
arranged and furnished that it has
elicited tho praise and admiration of
all who have seen It, and even one of
tho commissioners, C. W. Batsoll, has
been In to admire It and to express
his hearty good will toward the teach-
ers of the county. The county has
low; needed a room of this sort for the
teachers and your honorable body Is
to be complimented for Its work In
this line. It makes the teachers of
the county feel that they are appre-
ciated and also makes them feel more
like Independent citizens to have their
own "little cozy corner" In tho coun-
ty eapitol. Signed by Tom Smith,
county superintendent; Thos. E. Goff.

A BACHELOR'S VIEW |
. This was told mo by a bachelor and
a woman hater. It's Just too cynical
for anything.
The honeymoon had waned; the brldo
and groom had returned from their
trip and started on the humdrum of
life. The morning after their arrival
tho young husband gave bla young
wife the connubial kiss prescribed for
such people und went his way to busi-
ness. When he returned in the even-
ing there were several letters for him
that had been brought by the postman
during the day. They lay on tho little
antique desk in the library, every one
opened.
He frowned, but, picking them up,
perused them without saying anything
to his wife, who was the only persou
Who would have opened them. There
were a-.few facetious remarks lu oue
from a bachelor friend upon the loss
of liberty consequent upou marriage.
Tho rest were on ordinary affairs. He
looked up at his wife. Kho was pout-
ing.
"I don't HLo those remarks of Ned
Stuart," she said.
He thought a moment and then re-
plied In a soft tone, "If a wife Is to
read her husband's letters, K.lie must
expect to liud occasionally something
that doesu't please her."
"Do you object to my reading them?"
"Not at all. 1 suppose I'm to take the
same privilege with yours?"
She said "Certainly," but there was a
very doubtful tone to so pronounced a
word.
"Of course if you happen on any con-
fidences intended only for me you must
keep them strictly to yourself," he
said.
"Of course. Husband and wife aro
one persou even In the secrets of their
friends."
There was a sound of the postman's
whistle in tho street and a sharp ring
at tho doorbell. He went to the door
and brought b* k a letter for her. He
handed it to her. Sho read it lie
reached out his hand for It. She held
the letter tightly clasped In hers and
drew back.
"Aren't you going to let me bco It?"
be asked.
"This Is a peculiar case. It's from
Bertha and contains information In-
tended, for the present, only for me."
"But are we not. one, even iu tho se-
cretR of our friends?"
"Yes, unless our friends say In their
letters that any Information they con-
tain Is only for the one to whom the
letter is written."
"But If we oiien each other's letters
how can such information bo guarded
from the one for whom it Is not In
tended ?"
"You wouldn't wish to know what
Bertha doesn't wish you to know,
would you?"
"I know It already—she's engaged."
"I'm not going to deny all your sur-
mises. Of course you'd strike the right
one In tho end."
"She's engaged to Tom Fletchor. 1
noticed his attentions to her at our
wedditiK."
"It's not Tom Fletcher at all. She
wouldn't look at Tom Fletcher."
"Then who is it?"
"That's oue of the tilings you'ro uot
tp know."
"Bob Arbuokle?"
"I didn't say so."
"But you don't say to tho contrary."
She was silent,
"What do you think of tho plan of
our not opening each other's letters?"
Sho thought a long while, then said,
"Suppose you don't open any of mine
addressed in a woman's hand."
"But you continue to open any or
all of mine?"
"Yes."
"Do you consider that an equable
agreement ?"
"Certainly. Men haven't tho sensi-
tiveness that women have."
"Do you think Ned Stuart hasn't any
objection to your knowing what he
says about my loss of liberty?"
"He has no business to tuy such hor-
rid things,"
"He didn't Intend the remarks for
you."
"I should think not. I shall take es-
pecial pains to open any letters he
may write to you hereafter."
"Do you think It would be houor-
ablo for you to possess yourself of
what he aays Is only Intended for mo
—not for you nt all?"
"Of course I do. What an Idea! It's
proper and necessary that I should
know what Ideas he puts Into your
head—Ideas that tend to break up
happy domestic 1 if«• "
The husband frowned.
"How do I know," he said after a
pause, "what Ideas your friends are
putting Into your bend to destroy our
domestic happiness?"
"I have no friends to do any such
horrid things."
"But you a«k me to take your word
for that, while v " won't tako my
word that my friends won't"--
"Has It comi* to t.iis so soon? Oh,
that I should have ma-Tied a man
who won't take my word!"
"My dear. I didn't"
"Yon did."

Plea for a Commission.
Tho Herald, as usual, has struck
the kcynoto In Its advocacy of a com-
mission form of government for l)en
ison.
Tho old aaying that "the L>rd
helps those who help themselves" up
plies to cities as well as individuals.
If wo are going to accomplish any-
thing this year we will have to "get
busy." The legislature meet* In .lan.
uary, and wo should havo our < bar-
ter before It early to have it ueted
upon before adjournment. The com-
mission form of government has In en
so thoroughly discussed and explain-
ed by the Herald and other papers of
tho state that the people understand
it. Everyone approached on the sub-
ject says It Is a good thing and wants
to see It put to a voto of the peo-
ple. .a-
Our council, which should ho the
first to act In this matter, seems to
bo reluctant to tako It up. although
several members have expressed
themselves In Its favor privately. It
the council does not act very soon, it
Is up to our efficient. Hoard of Trade,
which has already done so much for
tho city, to get this before the peo-
ple. Tho future of Denison looks
very bright. With-Denison's advance,
ment will come many and fcreat. re-
sponsibilities which must he met
squarely and promptly. To cope with
those we need and must' have a re-
sponsible commission. To get this it
only needs action by the council or
Board of Trade, The citizens are
ready. Which will get to it first?

"The cholera belt," said a pale Anglo-
Indian. "is not an Imaginary girdle,
like your pie belt, but n roil girdle,
which every foreign resident of Iudia
wears day and night. Iu winter tho
belt is made of heavy wool. In tho
summer It is made of light wool. It la
never taken off. Even when you are
sleeping in a t em peril t tiro of 103 de-
grees, tossing and moaning and per-
spiring, despite the punkah that fans
Vdii i'i >m above, you still keep on your
cholera belt, no matter what else you
shed. Every Ar.g o Italian has a couple
of dozen cholera belts. They are suid
to prevent cholera, and I have no doubt
ill v do so At any rate, I never beard
of any wearer a cholera belt whom
cholera ever seized upon."
