President Wilson is about to
lose his patience and put a stop
to the watchful waiting policy
regarding Mexico. He is about
to issue a warning to all factions
that unless conditions improve
soon he will be called upon, in
the name of humanity, to do
something to relieve the suffer-
ings of the innocent people down
there who are threatened with
starvation.
E. H. R. Green, president of
the Texas Midland railroad and
a son of the noted woman finan-
cier of New York, has made use
of a mule for the purpose of lo-
cating a spot whereon to drill an
oil well. We have heard of fork-
ed sticks being used as divining
rods for the location of minerals
but that is the first time we ever
heard of a mule being employed
to the same purpose.—Denison
Herald.
Well, did the mule find the
oil?
The Mexia band went through
Ennis on train 15 Friday even-
ing en route to Richmond, Va.,
to attend the Confederate Re-
union. The band was in a spec-
ial tourist sleeper which was go-
ing through to Richmond and
had streamers nailed on its sides
advertising Mexia as a gas field
and opportunities for manufac-
turing.—Ennis News.
> Of course our boys wer e the
observed of all observers all
along the line.
Twp esteemed citiwns were
walking along the streets of a
Western town when one of the
pair remarked that he was tem-
porarily a bachelor owning to
fact that his wife had gone on a
vacation. i
"I suppose," imilingly re
marked the other, "that you
write to her and tell" her every-
thing that you do while she-is
gone." ^
"Oh, no." was the rather sur
prising response of the first; "I
don't have to."
"Don't have to!" returned the
other wonderingl.v. "Do you
mean to say—"
"1 mean to say," explained
the first.* 'that the neighbors
kindly attend to it for me."—
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The courts of Dallas seemed
to be lagging a little, so the offi-
cers arrested a man charged
with murder committed 32 years
ago and will proceed to try him.
When Governor Ferguson
named Justice Nelson Phillips a
member of the supreme court,
as chief justice, vice Judge Tom
Brown, deceased, he did the
right thing, and although Judge
Phillips is probably the young-
est man who ever held this high
office, as a lawyer and a judge he
will rank with the long line of
eminent jurists who have honor-
ed the supreme bench of Texas
in the past, and he has thous-
ands of warm friends and admir-
ers throughout Texas who will
rejoice in his new honors so
worthily and fittingly bestowed.
The Fort Worth Record con-
cludes a long discussion of the write and read
THE STENOGRAPHIC MAR-
VEIL OF THE AGE.
Stenotypewriting is the writ-
ing of the Byrne1 Simplified
Shorthand with the ordinary
typewriter instead of with a
pencil. The principles of the
Byrne Simplified Shorthand
have been applied to a system of
writing known as Stenotype-
writing. By this system the
stenographer is able to take dic-
tation on the Underwood, Royal,
Oliver, or any other make of
typewriter with greatest speed
and accuracy than is possible
with a pen or pencil. Just as
the typewriter has displaced the
pen and pencil for correspond-
ence in the business office, it
will eventually displace the pen
or pencil for reporting in the
courts and handling the dicta-
tion of the business office.
Our Prof. Byrne again takes
the lead in the stenographic art,
being the first author to put his
system of Shorthand into type
and make it thoroughly practi-
cal on the typewriter. This,
however, was not accomplished
in a day; it took years of hard
work and much careful study
and thought.
Students enrolling in the Ty-
ler Commercial College may
take up the study of the Byrne
Simplified Shorthand, either to
be written with a pencil or on a
typewriter, as they prefer.
However, anyone who has exam-
ined the merits of Stenotype-
writing will never want to spend
the time necessary to learn to
any system of

Judging by some of the en-
tries in the senatorial race, it is
not strange that many people
regard the contest as a comedy,
but if it be true that Cyclone

getting in. then people will re-

joke.—Geo. Bailey in Houston
