Why Pay Rent? You Can Own Your Own Home
Just as Easily* as You Now Rent.
There are hundreds of prosperous tenants who read this ad who
pay more than enough rent to own their own homes. I can make it
possible for everyone to own a home, who has only a little money
ahead. I can sell you just as good ard pr ductive land in Brown
county, Texas, as there is in the state, at $10,00 an acre, and ^ai
take a cash payment of only $2.00 an acre, giving long time on tin
balance at 8 per cent interest. This has been the best kind of yeiu
with many to make a start. It is too late to move and make a crop
this year, but by making your first payment now and laying your
plans you can get on your now purchase as soon as your crop is
gathered and be ready for the next season. Do not wait until you
have to pay much more. Write me at once for further particulars,

Texas Sunday
School Convention.
Dallas, Tex,, July 23, '04.
"Mr. Editor:—This is a copy
'of letter we are sending to va-
rious persons throughout the
State. Will you please publish
it as a piece of news.''
Dear, Friend and Co-Wokkeh:
The State Sunday School As-
sociation exists fot the purpose
of helping every Suuday Suhocl
in the State to become a better
one, to encourage them to ag-
gressively go after the children
and young peopia not in the
schools, to encourage the organi-
zation of new schools, to reach
those who cannot attend schools
already organized.
It is absolutely inter •denomin-
ational but not antwlenomira-
tional, nor doe? it stand for the
Union School. It will not how-
ever, antagonize any Union
School in existence, but will seek
to encourage all Sunday School
workers to labor under the di-
rection of some paiticular do-
nomination. A better school can
be made out of nearly every
school in existence if there be
the desire to have one. Our de-
sire is to <ee that the schools in
Texas are second to none m zeal,
knowledge and spirituality.
Our aim is to bring close to ti c
dcor of every church, the great
responsibility of teaching the
Bible to the children of the
ehuveil and bring them to Jesus
while young.
Statistics show that 8iJ per
cent of all those who come into
our churches, come fiom the
Sunday School. They also show
that the vast majority of those
who become christians, do so be-
fore they are 20 years old.
In order to accomplish this
work, it is necessary that we
have a good county organization
in ev^ry county. We write this
latter to ask if your county is
thoroughly organized, if not we
should like to aid you in every
!w.iy possible to organize it.
Whether organized or not, will
you try to furnish this office with
the name of every Sunday School
in your county, and the name
and address of every Superin-
tendent. It will not be such a
task as you may think, (let the
name of every school in your de-
nomination, then go to the most
prominent pastor in each of the
other denominations until you
get the name of all the schools in
existence in the county, then
send to us. If you cannot pos-
sibly do that, give us the name of
the best man in the county to
do it.
If your county is organized wo
will send to you or the Couniy
Secretary, on request, a number
of blank reports on which to se-
cure a report from each school.
At the last State convention
held at Houston, plans were laid
for a vigorous work in the Seate,
and the State Committee was au-
thorized to employ a State Secre-
tary, and we have arranged vpth
C. D. Meigs to begin the work
with us on October 1st.
May we not rely on your help
to bring about the results we de-
sire.
Yours in fellowship.
Executive Committee,
Texas Sunday School Ass'n.

It looks as
if a man's
back is the
center of
strength when
he is straining
to lift or haul a
heavy weight.
But the Cfnter
of strength is
not the back,
but the stom-
ach. There's no strength in
the back oi' a giant if lie's
starving. All strength is made
from food, and food can only
be converted into strength
when it is perfectly digested
and assimilated, When the £
stomach is diseased, the nntri-I
tion of food is lost and phys-1
ical weakness follows.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical j
Discovery cures diseases of the i
stomach and other organs of S
digestion and nutrition. It j
makes men strong and mus- jj
celar, by enabling tlie perfect
digestion and assimilation
of the food eaten.

nate case of dyspepsia,"

How About tho Bait?
Otic of Joseph Jefferson's pet
abominations is a bachelor. Hie
verierable actor believes in cany
marriages and recently advised a
group of Vale juniors to marry as
soon as ever they could afford it.
"Hachelors—why, I have the utmost
contempt for the whole breed of
them," he said. " I'lie older they
gro .v the more conceited they grow.

How Jokai Wrote.
Ore who knew Jokai says that
the novelist never troubled to work
out his plot in detail beforehand.
"He trusted to his imagination for
guidance as to what his characters
were to" do at a g"'veil moment, and
often when he had completed a
chapter ' •ten which half
Hungary wrs ' i\> read he
would reman-- i-i ' - friends, as the
printer's devil ri: .1 • y with the
copy, 'I should like to know what
those people will find to do and say
tomorrow.' Jokai started his char-
acters on their careers, eulogizing
them if -he liked them or caricatur-
ing them if he meant them to excite
amusement or derision, and then let
them work out their own destinies
across the mires of his manuscript."

Judge Parker's Wife.
Mrs. Alton 1!. Parker, wife of
the New V,ork chief justice, is di-
rectly descended from an early
Dturli settler named Sciioonmak-
er. The name is famous in I l-:er
county. Xcw York, and the old
Schounmakcr homestead is now
the summer home of the judge's
family. It is called Ros-emount,
and is a mile and a half from the
village of Fsopus, Judge Parker's
home. The older parts of the
house were standing in 1777, when
the Briti-h licet anchored in the
river before it the night before
Kingston was burned.
Some High-Up Pojtoffices.
Among the Alps there are sev-
eral postoffices at a height of 6000
feet or 7000 feet. A letter bott on
the very summit of the La 11 gaud,
from which the postman makes four
collections daily, is nearly 10,00a
feet above the sea level.
The Pigmy of the House.
Thomas \Y. Hardwick, of the
Tenth Georgia district, is th.e pig-
my of the house, standing but five
feet one inch in his high-heeled1
shoes, and weighing 107 pounds
When seated in the house his toes
just touch the floor, and his head
is barely visible above the desk in
front. Besides being quite dimin-
utive, he is very youthful in ap-
pearalce, looking considerably
younger than 31 years. Mr. Hard-
wick has, however, a vast amount
of energy and ueterminai ion, and
it is probable that he has a long
congressional career ahead iu' , ::.i.
To Tunnel Under tho Channel.
One of the results oi the recent
Anglo-French agreement is a re-
newal of the scheme for tunneling
the channel between France and
England. The London and Paris
chambers of commerce are leading
n the matter. It is nearly fifty
years since the tunnel project was
first put upon a practical basis of
rxperiment, but since then the orig-
inal estimate of cost has been re-
duced from $50,000,00 to $20,000,-

Gould Tested a brakeman.
"This applicant is in an almost
perfect physical condition, as indi-
cated on the accompanying chart.
His biceps and chest measurements
ire above the averagt. I have mark-
ed his eyesight and hearing each
it 100. 1 recommend that the ap-
plicant be passed. He would make
a good brakeman, and after a v. bile
might be trained f >v the post of lo-
comotive engineer. He appears to
have nerve as well as good eye-
sight." This was the official report
of the capacity of George J. Gould
to be a working rai'r< vl man, made
by a medical examiner who did not
know that the man who passed bis
tests was the multi-millionaire. At-
tired in an old Cardigan jacket, an
outing shirt and a cap, Gould, in
order to test the examination sys-
tem of the Wabash railroad, in
which he has large interests, under-
went at Pittsburg the examination
for the position of brakeman on the
road. Gould and President Ram-
sey have been examining the sys-
tem. and Gould underwent the ex-
immation to test the value of the
system.
