Our business is to supply the demand for medicines,
and we handle only the best proprietary remedies and

"Absolutely sir," said Secre-

"Because it's rather impor-

•Aiimnda'a hard," said Mury Tyr-
•ell. "She's an hard as nalla. And she's
>een watching na like a lynx ever alnoe
e got to know each other so well."
"No worse tlian Bob," said frank Ar-
told. 'That hoy's got eyes In the hack
>f his head. He watcher rue llkfr—
Ike.a bob-eat."
"It's hard that our own children
ihoiUd turn agaliist us," sighed Mary.
'I suppose they think we're a pulr of
ild fools who can't be trusted."
It certainly was hard on their ro-
nance. Mary was two years younger
'huti Frank, and Frank was—well, of
hat Indeterminate age when the Imlr
s as uiueh white ns black and the
tailor sighs reproachfully when he
passes the tape-measure round you.
They had been sweethearts in youth,
lad drifted apart, and each hud mar-
ried and been left alone. Now, with
i growfi up son and daughter, they
found themselves neighbors In the Ut-
ile town.
Bob Arnold and Amanda Tyrrell
were engaged to be married. Boh had
i flue position, and it was only a mat-
:ar of a few weeks till the ceretpony.
jLnd the old people, fearing the lone-
liness that would follow, had found
:on*olatloii in each other's society.
"Mary," I've got a scheme," said
Frank one day. "Let's—let's get mar-
ried tool"
"Frank!" she was staggered by the
proposal. "You mustn't joke about
[hat. Tiiose memories are too—too
wcred."
"J mean It, dueling. Why shouldn't
we have a little happiness In our old
*ge? After all, we've always cared
for eaob other, haven't we?"
It took a long time to persuade her.
It was not that Mary Tyrrell had
ceased to care. She had loved Frank
ever since their meeting with all the
ardor of tbelr youth. But she hud
grows "settled."
Frank did persuade her. And It was
a difficult courtship that was carried
op under the eyes of the young couple.
They feared their children's opposi-
tion Intensely. A dozen times Mary
declared that she dared not do It.
Then Frank hit ou a plan.
"•What d'you say to an elopement,
darling? Itemember how we'd planned
to elope In the old days?"
"Frank, I—I couldn't. It would be
—Improper, at our age! Besides—"
"Leave It to me," said Frank.
A week later he came to her again.
"Come along, Mary!" he said. It's
ill ready. The Judge will tlx It for
us as soon as we can get to Ills house."
"Frank, don't be absurd! Why, I—
I'm not dressed, and there's the pud-
ding to make, and—"
"And Bob and Amanda on their way
up the hill. It's now or never* moth-
er!"
Somehow—Mary never knew how
afterward—Jie persuaded her. And at
the back of the house, not near enough
to arouse suspicion,# the buggy was
waiting. Frank helped her In and
took up the reins.
Half an hour later they emerged
ffora the judge's house, man and wife.
Judge Emgrew had chuckled and
beamed, and seemed to be enjoying
the Joke Immensely.
"I guess there'll be surprises when
you get home," he said.
"I guess there will," said Mary
mournfully.
All the way home her despondency
Increased, In spite of her husband's
protestations.
V Amanda will never forgive me, and
Bob won't forgive you," she said.
"If that young scoundrel tries any
of his tricks on me, I'll break hi*
teeth!" said Frank Arnold severely.
"I'll let Mm know I'm his father."
"A couple of old fools we are," said
Mury, as* he kissed her.
At the door, waiting for them, were ]
Amanda and Bob. Mary descended
with trembling limbs and turned to
her husband.
"You tell them, Frank," she sold.
"Well, you see, folks, It being a tine
day, we thought we'd go buggy-riding,"
began Frank Arnold.
"Hope you enjoyed yourselves," an-
swered Amnnda.
"I thought you might like to know,
mother, that that cake you were mak-
ing burned to a cinder In the tven."
Mary ran forward impetuously, but
Frank cheeked her.
"See here, folks," he said, "you may
as well know we've Just got married.
And we aren't going to stand for any
nonsense, either."
And he awaited the storm with fold-
ed arms. But before any one could
speak Mary came rushing back In wild
incitement.
"Frank! Come In and see!" she
cried.
The table was loaded with a wed-
ding feast. There were four places,
and the roast ham sent forth a dell-
clous appetizing odor.
"Whnt—what—" stammered Frank.
"Your wedding breakfast, Dad," said
Bob.
"How d'you know—?"
"JUdge Emgrew tipped us off. You
see, we'd been hoping for It, only if
we'd encouraged you you wouldn't have
been so keen."
They stared at each other. "I
guess that's what the Judge meant by
his surprises," murmured Mary.
"No, Amanda and I got married half
an h ur before you did. That's the sur-
prise, Bob chuckled.

In charging the new Dallas
County Grand Jury Monday,
Judge Charles A. Pippen in-
structed them to egin an imme-
diate investigation of the charg-
es made by C. M. Smithdeal, Cit-
izens League speaker, in a recent
speech, that gambling clubs,
bootlggiug dives and houses of
prostitution are running openly
in Dallas.#
"You have seen in the papers
certain charges that have been
made against the constabulary of
this county, both the sheriff's and
police departments, that gambl-
ing houes and houses of prostitu-
tion and places where liquor is
sold were being carried 011 open-
ly with the knowledge of both
the sheriff's and police depart-
ments," Judge Pippen continued
"I instruct you that these are
very serious and grave accusa-
tions. I do not express any opin-
ion as to their truth or falsity,
because I want you to act upon
your own judgment and con-
science. However, I instruct you
to make a most thorough investi-
gation of said charges, and I r«-
quest you to report to this court
at such time as suits your conven-
ience, as to wKether said charges
arc true or false. If you find
them to be true, return bills of
indictment, because the people of
this county should know whether
the charges made are as stated."
Sheriff Dan Harston declared
that he welcomed the investiga-
tion and would co-operate with
the Grand Jury at any time.
Mr. Smithdeal declared that he
had appeared before the Grand
Jury, recently adjourned, and
given his evidence, and would ap-
pear before the new body at any
time to repeat his testimony.
F. E. Lytle of Dallas was made
foreman of the investigating
body that will take up the robe.
C. J. De Woody, also of Dallas,
was appointed assistant foreman.
Other members of the grand jury
are: Ruby Young, W. H. Griffin,
George L. Terrell, all of Dallas,
and W. F. Lies of Carrollton,

The State Markets and Ware-
house Department at Austin has
requested publication of the fol-
lowing :
The first examination to quali-
fy individuals to operate as pub-
lic grain classers under the new
ly appointed Board of Grain Ex-
aminers will take place in the
very near future, at a point to
suit the convenience of the great-
est number of applicants. In view
of its location, Fort Worth has
been considered for this purpose,
though should this not suit appli-
cants, the txafhinatjon will be
held elsewhere.
It will be the policy of the
Markets and Warehouse Depart-
ment this fall to insist on the
use of these officially certified
grain classers, and while there
will be some Jeniency shown in
the utilization of unofficial grain
classers until sufficient oppor-
tunity has been given all desiring
to qualify under the law, this
Department intends to insist an
the utilization of officially certi-
fied grain classers, as only in the
way will it be possible to get the
results desired.
These steps are taken that the
classification of the great grain
crops of Texas may be put on a
more stable basis, and the loss
and disatisfactioi} caused by
present existing methods may be
eliminated.
Parties desiring further infor-
mation regardng this matter
should address their communica-
tions direct to the Chairman of
the Board of Examiners for
Grain Classers, Hon. J. F. Ross
of Amarillo, Tex*as, who with R.
R. Travis of Ralls and R. V.
Crowder of Quannah will exam-
ine all applicants for certificate.
Assuring you of our desire to
assist in every way in the ad-
vancement of marketing in Tex-
as, and soliciting your coopera-
tion to this end.

The
Boll Weevil
Problem
Cotton is the great money crop of Texas and it
would mean disaster to the farmer and to all business
interests of the State should the boll weevil destroy the
present cotton crop. That cotton can be grown in spite
of the boll weevil is a demonstrated fact. The Coad
method of calcium arsenate poisoning is a success
where there is plenty of dew on the cotton plant. In
dry, hot weather this part of the State has so little dew
that the poisoning method has not been very successful,
except in some instances where hand machines have
been used and poison applied at nights oply.' At a
meeting called by Mr. Jolley, the county agent, of the
farmers, bankers and business men of Dallas County,
held in Dallas last Monday, the following methods of
fighting the boll weevil were recommended:
It is the sense of this committee that, in view
of the lateness of the cotton crop and the pres-
ent dry, hot weather, it is not advisable to
poison the cotton boll weevil.
It is further sense of this committee that fre-
quent cultivation, once a week, if possible, and
the use of suitable machines for destroying boll
weevils be depended upon this season. It is the
* committee's opinion that there are several prac-
tical weevil-catching machines on the market,
but each cotton grower should be governed in
the choice of a machine by the size and condi-
tion of his cotton crqp. (Signed)
HENRY W. COTT, Chairman;
T. A MOORE, J C. PELT, VICTOR H.
SCHOFFELMAYER, A. R. DAVIS.
The weevil can not live in the hot sun when the
weather is dry; if he is knocked off the cotton stalk and
falls into a fine mulch, where the sun strikes him he
will die. Therefore, frequent cultivation, if the weather
is dry, is very essential. That the machines do not de-
stroy many of the weevils is also a demonstrated fact.
That picking up and destroying the squares that have
been punctured is helpful. Each one of these methods
is beneficial, and while the amount of work is very
considerable, vet it will profit in the end to keep ever-
lastingly at it. Should we have frequent showers, fol-
lowed by dews, and a rank growth of cottpn, then
poisoning will be the most effective method.
