MONDAY DECEMBER 19 1910.
One of the canned editorials' sent
out hy the commercial secretaries to
the newspapers of Texas says:
"It Is the custom for members of
the legislature to look upon platform
demands with as much sacredness as
the children of Israel regarded the
Ark of the Covenant and have we in
the Thiftysecond legislature an Uzzah
who will dare to lay hands upon It?"
Whence this new zeal for platrorm
demands? Is the platform of 1910
more sacred than those of 1904 and
1908 which these same commercial
secretaries repudiated? Is Is more Im-
maculate than the national platform
still In force upon which leaders of
the cabal favored by the secretaries
laid unholy hands?
The Artificial Life.
"The life that exists about us is un
natural" says Thomas A. Edison
"New York Is unnatural. Everywhere
there is a constant change In the man'
neV of living. There must be a reason
It Is just a matter of evolution. We
change with the conditions. The city
of New York Is like a great big pond
Physical changes in the lives of the
pond's Inhabitants go on always. Con
st ant physical changes are taking
place in the city too and what is the
ultimate result? In order to exist we
aJapt our manners; custom and even
senses change. We have become arti-
ficial creatures of environment As the
world changes so shall the people. It
will be only a matter of time when we
shall develop new senses. The five
senses that we have will grow keener.
We shall need more to cope with the
artificiality of the world."
It has transpired that Governor-
elect Colquitt named one more director-of
A. & M. college than he will
have authoirty to appoint the law-
requiring that the commissioner of
agriculture shall be a member of the
board ex officio. To relieve this em-
barrassing situation Hon. Charles Ro-
gan who was to be president of the
board has announced that he will de-
cline the appointment. This is a dis-
appointment to many friends of the
college who expected great good from
Mr. Itogan's service he being an
alumnus of the institution.
The Missouri pro3 are letting it be
understood that they don't want any
more of the help of the Anti-Saloon
League but will manage their own
affairs in their own way. Texas pros

Turkeys in Burleson County.
As Christmas draws near the tur
key is making his appearance upon
the market in great numbers the
prices being good. It is amazing how
many of them there are in the country
and the industry 13 admitted to be a
lucrative one. There Is said to be
more than one woman in the county
who raised more than $100 worth dur-
ing the past year and this does riot
sound extravagant when the prices
they bring are taken Into considera-
tion. For instance a Santa Fe brake-
man the other day bought an extreme-
ly large gobbler and paid $3.23 for
him. As the years go by people are
beginning to realize the fact that the
poultry busienss is one of the safest
and best paying of the small indus-
tries of the country. Caldwell ew3-Chronicle.
Williamson County Farmers.
Williamson county farmers are do-
ing some figuring. They claim that
their land is more valuable than here-
tofore and that they should realize
Interest on the increase in valuation
all the same like the railroads and
trusts. They want S per cent on the
salable values of thejr lands and the
renters are asked to contribute from
$10 to $13 an acre next year. That Is
more than the land cost many of the
owners but the big Industrial com-
panies have some name which they
give to. that kind of capitalization

FORMER BRYAN BOY WEDDED.
The Eagle lias received the an-
nouncement of tiie marriage of Mr.
Terry L. Loubrldge formerly of
Bryan now of Eagle Lake to Miss
Jim demons of Runge. Of the con-
tracting parties the Eagle Lake Head-
light says:
"The bride is one of Runge's sweet-
est and prettiest young ladies. She
has frequently visited in Eagle Lake
and has many warm friends here. The
grciom is one of our city's sturdy
young men being assistant cashier at
the Farmers & Merchants' State bank.
He is a young man of exemplary hab-
its sober industrious and attentive

Mr. Loubrldge began the battle of

Steps Taken Toward Perfecting an
Organiaztion on Broader Lines
Than Ever Before.
Last Wednesday night one of our
hustling traveling men drifted home
from Marlin where they were organ-
izing a $20000 fair association. With
the spirit characteristic of traveling
men in general not to be outdone by
rivals and with the Interest of his
home town at heart the drummer was
up early Thursday morning. A con
sultation was held with the members
of the Bryan Driving Club and two
hours later a meeting was held with
the public-spirited and lion-hearted
men and plans were drawn up for a
regulation half-mile track.
In-the afternoon the grounds were
laid off and more land was purchased
adjoining Dellwood park. Stock was
solicited and thirty shares of stock
were sold.
There Is on foot one of the greatest
stock and agricultural fairs ever
pulled off in South Texas. The nat
ural resources of Brazos county are
something wonderful but they are
largely undeveloped. It doesn't taKe
much money. What we need Is men
of the right spirit the up-and-a-dolng
spirit
Two of the county's leading stock
men and farmers who were In town
Saturday subscribed for stock and
said to the committee: "The greatest
thing that Bryan and Brazos county
ever Instituted was the Central Texas
Fair and what a shame they let it
o down! It did more to encourage
better farming and better stock rais-
ing than any move that Brazos county
ever made." They Bald they did not
appreciate it at the time and per-
haps did not take the interest in n
they should have taken. But they
realize it now and requested If we
needed more help or more money to
call on them for their part.
With this kind of spirit an agricul-
tural fair can not fail. Bryan with a
new railroad and a big fair associa-
tion will In a few years develop into
a city that will surprise the natives.
A HINDU WIZARD. :
Hit Trick That Puzzled an Occidental
Master of Magio.
Someof the tricks of tiio Hindu
Wizards lire pust understanding ac-
cording to ii n occidental ' master of
magic who was speaking of bis orien-
tal rlrnls. This Is what be says lie
saw a Hindu wizard do In u club in
Lucknow:
"He took a bonrd and placed it ou
four glass goblets thus elevating it
from the flow. A youngster sitting on
the board wqs requested to place his
bands together palms up. Then'tho
juggler took n glass of water and
poured It into the outstretched bauds
of the boy. In tho meantime the boy
bud been mesmerized and bis atten-
tion was fixed on a point indicated by
the magician. Gradually the water
turned green iu color mid then devel-
opel into a jelly which increased in
denidty until it became as solid as a
stone.. Out of the center of this ap-
peared tho bond of a snnke which
gradually developed until in tho place
of tho water there appeared a hissing
reptile. I was amazed. I ean assure
you but the trick was not yet com
pleted. Hitting the reptile upon tho
head with his wand the juggler took
it up carefully and placed it back in
the glass. As- we looked it became
transformed into a Jelly which In turn
melted into n greenish colored water.
Clearer and clearer became the fluid
until it was of its original color and
then the Juggler placed It to his Hps
and drank the entire contents. This
was the must wonderful trick I ever
saw performed and It is as mysterious
to me today as it wns then."

Started by London Goldsmiths In the
Seventeenth Century.
The business of banking was not in-
troduced Into England until tho seven-
teenth century when It began to be
undertaken by goldsmiths In Ixmdnii
who appear to have borrowed It from
Holland. It wns attacked as Innova-
tions commonly are. Mr. Gilbart In
his "History and Principles of Bank
ing" quotes from a pamphlet publish-
ed in M7d entitled "Tho Mystery of
the New Fashioned Goldsmiths or
Bankers Discovered " a passage that
may be reproduced:
"Much about the same time the
time of the civil commotion the. gold-
smiths (or new fashioned bankers) be-
gan to receive the rents of gentlemen's
cst.-.tes remitted to town and to allow
them and others who put cash into
their bands some Interest for It If it
remained but a single month In their
hands or even a leaser time. There
was a great allurement to put money
into their bands which would bear
interest till the day they wanted it.
and they could also draw It out by
on one of the park benches "you would
not take me for a member of a million-
aire's family would you?"
"No" answered tho stranger after
sizing him up; "frankly speaking I
wouldn't."
"Neither would the millionaire" re-
joined tho young man sadly. "I asked
him last nlght."-St. Paul Pioneer
