A LESSON FOR BOYS.
George H. Hermann a plain un-
pretentious pioneer of Houston has
just presented that city with a site of
285 acres of land worth half a million
dollars for a park. It was a princely
gift and a great public demonstration
was held at the city auditorium last
Sunday afternoon when Mr. Hermann
formally delivered the deeds to the
property to Mayor Campbell. To look
at Mr. Hermann a plain dignified old
gentleman no one would Imagine he
waa a man of large affairs yet he Is
several times a millionaire. In his
presentation address the following
words in regard to himself are an In-
spiration to all young men who will
give them heed:
VI am tbe son of a man who was
" born at Davos Switzerland In 1791
who afterward went to France and
-erred under Napoleon the First
Jello Ice Cream Powder
Sliced Pineapple
Grated Pineapple
Welch's Grape Juice
Doyle's Pineapple Juice
32-386
When Napoleon called for troops my
father Joined the army and fought at
Waterloo where be received a saber
wound. In 1821 be came to Norfolk
Va but returned to Davos where he
married my mother. They came back
to this country went to Vera Cruz and
later returned to New Orleans.
"My parenta landed in Houston with
$5 and three children. My mother
pawned ber Jewelry and" my father
bought a little flour and sugar and
established a bakery on Main street
where the Postal telegraph office now
is located. I guess be was the first
baker in Houston. In 1841 be bought
the block bounded by McKlnney Bra-
zos Smith and Walker and built the
bouse in which I was born. It was
while living there that my mother
taught me economy which I have
never forgotten. I aerved in the army
when the war broke out and there
were two things that I learned there.
Instead ot 'I won't' and 'I can't' I
learned 'I will' and 'I can.'
"When I returned from the army 1
found that both my parenta were dead.
I had to go to work. I bad no experi
ence. They say the old fogies don't!
know anything. But I went to the old
fogies Bagby Fisher Andrews and
others and got their advice. After
listening to them I did my own think-
ing and formed my own ideas and car-
ried them out."
The United States will not demand
indemnity nor reprisal ot Mexico. This
may be all right but it looks like our
effort at "benevolent asslmmllatlon"
cornea a little high. Is it Just to the
taxpayers to burden them with an
expense ot many millions for the sake
of quieting the internal strife of an-
other Nation? If our movements In
Mexico were to redress wrongs and In-
dignities suffered at the hands of
Mexico then the expense could go to
the limit and the people would never
murmur. But after having received
' the Indignities and our demands for
redress utterly Ignored and no move
whatever made to enforce them It
looks a little hard and unjust to go to
all this expense In order that Mexico's
troubles may be settled. Besides we
have no assurance after the troubles i
' are settled that peaceful conditions
! would continue for thirty-six hours.
The Constitutionalists say "If the
mediators want to settle the question
they should Invite all parties and not
impose restrictions. Surely they know
that nothing can be settled in Mexico
without consulting the Constitutional-
ists. We are willing to talk matters
over but we want to know first whut
we are going to discuss and seuond
tlmt there was no promise asked for
us to stop our revolutionary advance
and wreck our cause." In other words
if they can get what they want
through mediation they will be glad
to bave it. If not they will fight it
out on present lines It it takes all
summer.
That was a pretty compliment the
alumni of the A. & M. College at its
session Tuesday paid Mr. C. K. Lee
ot Fort Worth president of the State
University alumni Mr. Lee has been
confined to his bed by illness for some
time and the A. & M. people sent him
a telegram of sympathy. Acts of this
kind will bear fruit in blotting out the
semi-unfriendly spirit that has existed
between the two schools for some
years.
At this writing Senator Morris
Sheppard has not accepted Little
Oscar's challenge to resign and go
with him-before the people In a race
for the Senatorshlp. At the next
writing he will not have accepted nor
at the next or even the next and then
some.
With the return ot sunshine some
ot the papers are already harping on
the great crops Texas Is going to
make. They should not count the
chickens before the eggs hatch-
drouths and boll weevils are still
ahead of us.
Saturday June 13 Is the last dny a
candidate for a county or precinct of-
fice can get bis name on the July pri-
mary ballot You'll have to hurry It
you want to see hikl.
To swat tbe fly is good but to swat
the fly's breeding place is better. Ditto
the mosquito.
Cupright Hart bcbkCocr A Man
Many are worrying about where to
spend the summer but a dlngbusted
sight more of us are worrying about
where to get something to spend dur-
ing the summer.
We thought when it came to a show-
down Huerta would want to dictate
"the man the place and the time."
Wonder what part of the cost of the
mediation Mexico will pay? We pause
for reply.

If the bens are either "sitting" or
"setting" this weather we are sorry
for them.
BUSINESS DEPRESSION AND THE
RAILROADS.
President Wilson as usual when It
conies down to a debate and the1 te.t
of logic emerges from the conflict of
ideas with flying colors. Discussing
the superficial criticism of bis asser-
tion that the business depression Is
largely "psychological" lie proves the
truth of it by such witnesses as Chair-
man Gary of the steel trust and other
representatives of the steel Industry.
Statistics show that the new tariff
law Is in no way responsible for pres-
ent conditions and that timid business
Interests which protest against trm-t
legislation are the victims of their
fears rather than of the facts.
In one direction however the
President does see a concrete and real
cause for slowing down In the general
business gait and that Is In the cur-
tailment In expenditures which the
railroads have been forced to make
because of their Inadequate revenues.
The economy which they have been
compelled to practice has affected the
activity of the steel Industry which
is largely dependent on railroad or-
ders. This has been felt to a certain
extent. In all other branches of busl-
ness as well aa In financial circles
all keeping pace with the railroads
and awaiting the action of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission with re-
gard to the Increase In freight rates.
The remedy for the depression so far
as It is due to the handicap placed
on the railroads is obvious and In
our Judgment should be applied with-
out delay by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The reaction from de-
pression to confidence would be al-
most Instantaneous If the railroads
wure put in the position to increase
the efficiency of their service and to
develop their plans for betterments
and extensions. The "psychological"
depression would take wings and fly
away like a nightmare If the energies
of the country were relieved of the
load put upon them through failure to
permit the railroads to earn a fair
living. Baltimore Sun.
Proposed rate increases on coke
from Chicago and Peoria III. to St.
Paul Duluth and other cities ln that
section over the Wabash Railway
have been suspended Indefinitely by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

DR. ELIOT CHOOSES POEMS.
Names Thrte That Ha Saya Evsry
Child Should Know.
Supplementing his famous "five-foot
shelf ot books" the reading of which
be said would give anybody a liberal
education Dr. Charles W. Eliot presi-
dent emeritus of Harvard baa selected
three poems which he says every child
should know. Tbey are "The Village
Blacksmith" by Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow'; "Abou Ben Adhem" by
Leigh Hunt and "To a Waterfowl."
by William Cullen Bryant Dr. Eliot
quotea the verse:
He hears his daughter's Voice
Singing In the village choir;
And It makes his heart rejoice.
It sounds to him like her mother's
voice
Singing In Paradise.
"Now any child 8 or 10 years old."
he adds "will take that all In and will
learn from it that the balcksmlth hud
a daughter who could slug and that
she sang sweetly In the village choir:
and the blacksmith hud had a wife
whom he loved most tenderly and she
was dead and she Bang with him and
now she was singing In a happy next
world In Paradise and the blacksmith
liked to go to church because he heard
his duughter who reminded him of
her mother. All that is In that little
verse and it Is a beautiful picture of
some of the best parts of human ex-
perience. "Take another poem very well
known to us all but seldom used It
seems to me for children Leigh
Hunt's "Abou Ben Adhem" ("May His
Tribe Increase"). There Is a poem
that any child of 10 years will take in.
and It presents a series of delightful
pictures and at the end comes a very
compact settlement of the' whole Uni-
tarian theory about character.
"Another Invaluable poem for re-
ligious education Is Bryant's "Water-
fowl." The whole Unitarian view of
the providence of God la In the guid-
ing of the bird through tbe pathless
air and Just as He guides the bird He
will guide me. It Is the simplest pos-
sible presentation to a child's mind
ot the loving fatherhood of God."

"ONLY A STAB." .
Though Ty Cobb has been the sub-
ject of thousands of storlefV compara-
tively little of tils acal Versonallty
ver baa been conveyed to the public.
This is because he Is averse to person-
al mention statement that doubt-
less will excite astonishment and in-
credulity and perhaps derision among
those who have deemed him a "swell
bead." . But It la an actuality. Perhaps
no better proof of it can be offered
than the course ha took when he waa
stabbed by a highwayman In Detroit
on night In 1912 when be waa on bis
way to catch tbe Tiger car for the
East.
Ha proceeded to the depot and went
to hla berth without saying a word
about the affair to anyone except the
Tlgor trainer Harry TuthlH. He men.
tloned It to the trainer because be
thought the wound might need atten-
tion. And verily it did! Tuthlll dlscov.
erod a wound In Cobb's back more
than two Inches deep by about three
Inches long! Trainer Harry applied
antiseptic solutions and when they
reached Syracuse a prominent surgeon
waa called who regarded the wound
as so serious that It must not be sewed
up at once owing to danger of In-
fection. So with a yard and a balf
of gauze he bandaged It and left it
open to drain.
That aame day Instead of being In
a hospital Cobb played a full game
with the Tlgera against the Syracuse
team. As an exhibition ot grit. It waa
without a parallel. He supplemented
It tbe following day by playing In a
championship game against the Yan-
kees In New York with bla wonted
energy and dash. - Almost any other
player similarly wounded would bave
been out of the game tor two weeks.
By continuing with his team not
missing a single game on the Eastern
'trip he convinced the public that tbe
stab bad been merely a scratch not
worth bothering about The Popular
Magazine.
