The Richardson Echo wonders

Postmaster General Burleson
announces that for the first time
since it was established by Ben
jamin Franklin, the United States
Postoffice Department is on
self sustaining basis. Well, we
must remember that Republicans
have been in charge of it most of
the time between Franklin and
Burleson.
The Texas Republic of San
Antonio offers Gov. Colquitt the
office of mayor of that city if he
will move there at the expiration
of his term next month. If Ma

he is able to deliver the goods,
there will no longer beany doubt
about the future residence of

We notice that some of the
men opposing national prohibi-
tion, base their objection on the
grounds that it would be inter-
ference with state's rights. Yet
when it comes up as a state
question these same men say
it is a question for each county to
settle, and then when a county
local option comes on they want
it left to each precinct to decide
for itself.
The new postoffice bill in Con
gress provides for the abolish
ment of the office of assistant
postmaster in the larger offices
If that means that the postmas
ters who get big salaries will
have to do something more to
earn them than they have here
tofore, then it is all right. But
it wouldn't do to abolish the as
sistaut postmasters in many of
the smaller officers. Just as well
to abolish the postoffice. This is
is not intended, however, to ap
ply to Mesquite.

following: "I met a widow with
a grown daughter and I married

step-son.
"Then my step-mother, the

That boy was my father's son.
But he was also the son of my

my grandson. That made me

son.
"Then my wife had a son.
My mother-in-law, the step daugh-
ter, is also his grandmother, be-
cause lie is her step-son's child.
My father is the brother-in-law

His Heart In It
A manufacturer in Philadel-
phia once told a friend the story
of one of his superintendents:
"Twelve years ago a boy ap-
plied to me for work. He was
employed at low wages. Two
days later the awards of premi-
ums were made to manufactor-
ies at the Centennial Exhibition.
Passing down Chestnut street
early in the morning, I saw Bob
poriug over the bulletin hoard in
front of a newspaper office. Sud-
denly he jerked off his cap with a
shout.
"What is the matter?" some-
one asked.
" 'We have taken the medal for
sheetings!" he exclaimed.
"I said nothing, hut kept my
eye on Bob. The boy who could
identify himself in two days with
my interests would be of use to
me hereafter.
"His work was to deliver
packages, I found that he took
a real pride in it. His wagon
must be cleaner, his horse better
fed, his orders filled more
promptly than those of the men
belonging to any other firm. He
was as zealous for the house as
though he had been a partner in
it. I have advanced him step by
step. His fortune is made and
the firm have added to their
capital so much energy and
force." — Cin.innatti Enquirer

When you catch Cold, or begin to
Cough, the first thing to do is to take
Dr. Bell's Pine-Tar-Honey. It pene-

Lungs and fights the Germs of the
Disease, giving quick relief and nat-
ural healing. "Our whole family de-

Senator Vest's Eulogy
On The Dog
"Gentlemen of the jury: The
best friend a man has in this
world may turn against him and
become his enemy. Ilis son and
daughter that he has reared with
loving care may become ungrate-
ful. Those who are nearest and
dearest to us, those whom we
trust with our happiness and our
good name, may become traitors
to their faith. The money that
a man has he may lflse. It flies
away from him when he may
need it most. Man's reputation
may he sacrificed in a moment of
ill considered action. The peo-
ple who are prone to fall on their
knees and do us honor when suc-
cess is with us may throw the
stone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads.
The one absolutely unselfish
friend a man may have in this
selfish world, the one that never
deserts him, the one that never
proves ungrateful or treacher-
ous is the dog.
"Gentlemen of the jury: A
man's dog stands by him in pros-
perity and poverty, in health and
sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground when the wintry
winds blow and the snow drives
fiercely, if only, ho may be near
his master's side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to of-
fer, he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter
with the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his pau-
per mister as if he were a prince.
"When all other friends de-
sert, he remains. When riches
take wings and reputation falls
to pieces he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its journey
through the heavens. If fortune
drives the master forth an out-
cast into the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege that that
of accompanying him, to guard
him against danger, to fight
against his enemies and when the
last scene of all comes and death
takes his master in its embrace
and his body is laid away in the
cold ground, no matter if all
friends pursue their way, there
by the graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between
his paws and his eyes sad, hut in
alert watchfulness, faithful and
true, even to death."
Stockholders' Meeting
Notice is hereby given that the
regular annual meeting of the
shareholders of the First
National Bank of Mesquite for
the election of directors and such
other matters that may properly
come before said meeting, will
be held in the office of said bank
on the second Tuesday in Janu-
ary, 1915.

During a certain battle the
colonel of an Irish regiment no-
ticed that one of his men was
extremely devoted to him and
followed him everywhere. At
length he remarked: "Why, my
man, you have stuck by me well
today.''
"Yis, sorr," replied Pat, "Sure
me mither said to me, she said,
'Just stick to the colonel, Pat-
rick, me bhoy, and you'll be all
roight. Them colonels never get
hurted." '—Pittsburg Telegraph.
Pay the Doctor First
It seems always to have been
the fate of the doctor to be first
called and last paid in a great
many instance*. Naturally the
first thought of the sick is to send
for the doctor. H« is recognized
as a gjod friend, which, indeed,
he is.
After the illness is past the
doctor graciously and consider-
ately withholds his bill for a little
while, to enable the family to re-
cover their financial stability.
Meanwhile many other evont.s
happen in the family existence
and the former grave illness and
the doctor's careful and regular
attendance gradually fade into
the background.
So, when the doctor's bill dnos
arrive, it seems to be too large!
When the person was ailing no
amount of money was too great
to pay for the recovery of the
sick person, but after the recov-
ery things are changed. What,
would we not give for the life of
father or mother, husband or
wife, daughter or son when we
saw the loved one lying next to
death's door?
This is not an unusual instancp
Mankind in a great many ways
s the same everywhere and has
been for ages. We improve ph.v-
chologically only by impercept-
ible degrees, and are prone to
carry with us down the ages cer
trin attributes of character.
This attitude toward the doctor's
bill seems to be one of them.
When some one dear to us bp
comes ill during the night we
cannot get to the telephone quick
enuf and ask the doctor to come
"at once." And as we wait for
him to dress and reach our
house we pass anxious moments
and wish that doctors never slept
and could always beat our call
Then when he has allayed the
suffering and quieted our alarm
we are very quick to forget how
the minutes of his coming seemed
like hours. And when his bill
comes for the service rendered
we have forgotten it entirely!
This goes on constantly in hun-
dreds of homes thruout the coun
try, and the doctors and their
families are put to it, owing to
the slow pay of their patients, to
meet their domestic bills! It is
a case of first in illness, but last
in pay. No other professional
man has so great a number of
bills owed to him as he has the
doctor, and no single fact in our
domestic financing is so thoroly
reflective of our selfishness ard
forgetfulness as this. If the bill,
of any man is entitled to first
consideration and pay at our
hands it is that of the doctor!—

Acted Like Strangers
Aunt Maria had been a cook
in both boarding houses and pri-
vate families, and she had often
commented on how much more
common quarrels, harsh words
and scraps were in the families
than in the boarding houses. At
last she took a job in a private
family where peace reigned. One
day she said to her mistress:
"Missus, is all dese yo' family?"
"Yes, Mariu," said her mis-
tress. Why do you ask?"
"Well, nobody would a tho't
