If the people of the State of Texas
will keep abreast of the newspapers
of the State there will be no question
about its becoming an empire in a
very few years. No State In the

dailies to ihe small weeklies will
compare favorably with papers pub-
lished In tbe oldest States In the
country.—Denlson Herald.
Young tiian be loyal to your em-
ployer's interest, or quit his service.
To be otherwise, is to be a traitor
in camp betraying confidence impos-
ed in you. If you are loyal and true
to duty, the matter of wages will ad-
just itself. Don't worry about the
size of your salary, study your em-
ployer's interest and nine times out
of ten your employer will be only
too glad to n< knowledue Ills appro

tia! manner.

trouble is due to a diseased condition of

The press everywhere. It seems. Is
giving what it Is pleased 'o call the
lesson from the recent death of the
novelist, "Ouida." The truth about
the matter Is that the greatest les-
son of it uil is summed up by the
great writer. Washington Irving.
This writer in speaking of the muta-
bility of affairs says; "The Idol of
yesterday Is succeeded by the. Idol of
today, and this In turn will be sup-
planted by the idol of tomorrow."
That Irving spoke the truth is found
in the death of "Ouida." She at
once was the favorite of the reading
public, "on Fortune's cap the top-
most button," but in the twinkling
of an eye things changed, and she
was left alone. Happy the person
who does not lunik too much or
make too much depend on what the
favor of the public is, for that Is
liable to change without a moment's
notice. Terrell Transcript.
Advertising In newspapers Is more
than ever accepted as the best way
to get the public eye and make known
th" desire of the merchant and
patron, to tell the stwry of manufact-
urer. jobber, retailer, school, steam-
ship. government work, amusements,
pleasure resorts, lectures. etc.
Sherman Democrat. This is all to
the point and well said, especially
the 'etcetera " It pays to adver-
tise whatever there is to sell and
whatever Is wanted to buy. If you
have anything that Is worth while (o
sell it will pay you to advertise both
the fact that you want to make a
sale and what it is you want to sell.
Likewise If you want to buy any-
thing It will pay you t<> let that fact
be known. A man wanted to buy a
pair of mules nnd a wagon, lie
bought and paid $390 for a pair of
mules and a wagon. The day after
he made the purchase he ascertain-
ed that another man in that same
neighborhood bad a pair of mules
and a wagon thai be would have
much preferred to those he purchas-
ed that were for sale at $310. Had
the man who had the mules and
wagon for sale advertised the fact
he could have sold them at the price
lie fixed upon them: If the man who
wanted to buy mules and a wagon
bad advertised that fact he could
have procured preferable ones at a
saving of several hundred times
what the advertisement would have
cost him. It pays to advertise; y u
bet you.— Austin Statesman.

'Push your business," does not
mean, "knock your neighbor or corn1
petitor." A knock sometimes evolves
Itself Into a boost for the other fel-
low.—Western Light.
The old idea of "knocking" com-
petitors Is on the wane. If competi-
tion is the life of trade, then your
competitor deserves better than a
"knock." from you. Legitimate com-
petition will help draw a larger vol-
ume of trade in your line and in that
way is beneficial.
An eminent Baltimore physician
has made the discovery that grip Is
contagious and that it is transmit-
ted chiefly through osculation. This
being true, all young ladles suffer-
ing from the malady should be pro-
hibited from receiving company, and
men so afflicted should be allowed to
see no one save their mother-in-law.
— Honey Grove Signal.
Grip Is awful. Smallpox or yellow
fever is preferable if Its coming to
that.
It Is Intimated by the Houston
Post that it Is unseemly for members
of the legislature to represent, In a
legal capacity, the text book compa-
nies before the state board. If this
sort of tiling keeps on there will be
nothing left for a legislator to do
but legislate and. goodness knows,
Texas has had enough legislation and
to spare already. --San Antonio Ex-
press.
There seems to be in some quar-
ters a sentiment to allow legislators,
state and natloual, to take employ-
ment on the side, provided such em-
ployment docs not Interfere with
their time v\ue their constituency in
actual service in the halls of the leg-
islature or congress. There are oth-
I ers who oppose this view particu-
larly do they oppose their legislat-
ors. congressmen and senators tak-
ing employment from public service
corporations. The latter view Is the
best democratic doctrine.

If is a somewhat curious fact that
Napoleon laid in Frame the founda-
tion for its good roads, an instlutton
that has foP the past fifteen years
saved France from Industrial decad-
ence, and one that is of perhaps
more Interest iu the United States
than any other institution of France.
The system of national roads which
Napoleon founded is the most per-
fect iu the world, ami it is (Ids that
has made of France the headquart-
ers of the automobile industry of
the world, that keeps tens of thous-
ands of rich foreigners in France at
all times to enjoy the pleasures of}
touring. It is tills system which is i
to be the model on which the roads
of the I'nlted States can be develop-
ed and perfected.
Compared with the old world, in
no other phase is the United States
so far behind as in her country
roads. The State of Texas, In com-
mon with many others, is sadly lack-
ing in good highways, and until there
is concerted action and a determina-
tion upon the part of the people to

strongest and crooked. The little
man who appeared to be the boss of
the Job saiil when they got it all re.
moved they intended to build a good
comfortable storm house for the
County Judge and Commissioners,
so when they passed that way they
could have a good stopping place to
warm up and clean up from the wet
nnd bog. The people in the Cope-
ville country (we mean the farmer)
are fully up with their work, the
land is in fine condition awaltlug
planting time. The merchants and
business men of Copeville are clev-
er, are energetic and seem to be get-
ting along splendidly. We stopped
with the village blacksmith. J. W.
Cralt, who treated us In a royal man-
ner. Mr. Craft has an industrious
wife, who keeps the yard, house, etc.,
in applie-pie order, and is a desirable
stopping place for the traveler, for
you are made to feel at home the

This section of the country Is press-

which we have recently visited are
jumping ami by the light of the
moon are leaving the old folks to
cook breakfast. We can see no
earthly lvason for these old folks be-

Citizens in baffling numbers re-

people have spent more than $6U0,-

a bagatelle. France does not have
the best roads because of special

build them, li is not a national mat-
