I have my troubles, like the rest,
and anguish sometimes rends my
breast, and then I up and say, "Of all
tny blessings let me sing! I am glad
I wasn't born a king—Geewhlllikens!
Jlooray!" I grew up In a humble
shack, and had no ermine on my back,
no scepter In my hand; I lived ln no
ancestral hall, and had no vassals at
my call, and no surroundings grand.
And there were times when I was
prone to look with envy on the throne
that Kaiser Bill held down; It made
me sorer than a boil that one anoint-
ed me with oil, or handed me a crown.
I said, "It Is not right or fair that one

had been chilling meat for farmers

since brought in ,0.000 pounds of,

Thus an advance.has been made ln

There is no reason why th«' farmer!

done. The entire project is a saving

A Fable.
Once Fpon a Time a Beaiiliful
Queen was strolling down the Avenue.
A man, spying the Queen, started to
Chase her. When the Man had
Chased the Queen for a Block or two
she stopped and said to the Man:
"Why are you Chasing me?"
"Because," replied the Man, "I have
Fallen ln Hove with you."
"Why Fall in Love with me?"
laughed the Queen. My Sister, who Is
Just behind me, Is Prettier than I am."
The Man Immediately turned back,
and »oon saw a Dame with a Face
like a Concrete Mixer. Enraged and
Disappointed, the Man hurried back to
the Queen.
"Why did you Ue to me?" he de-
manded.
"You are the Liar," smiled the
Queen. "If you were In Love with me,
why did you look back for another
Woman?"

I wandered back to the old town
Jack,
That sheltered you and I.
It was Christmas Kve, and. would you
believe,
The old town had gone dry!
And there, Oh, Boy! was that place
of Joy,
The "Burning Stump" Saloon;
But there was no cheer, Just a sign
"Near-Beer."
And I felt great gobs of gloom.
In my mind once more, as In days of
yore,
Ah, the memory brings no regrets;
The bunch I could see, the beer and
the skec,
When the worW was safe for the
Wets.
The fellows that roam would all come
home,
And on Christmas Eve we would
meet
Along that bar with the old pretzel
jar,
And laugh, and sing, and treat.
To my eyes comes a haze as I think
of those days,
For a social drink did no harm.
You can't make me believe there's a
a real Christmas Eve
Without a shot in the arm.

There Isn't much oratory in Con
gress to-day as there was fifty years
ago. But there Is more talk.
Our Idea of an Optimist Is a soldier
who can realize how lonesome he
would be If It wasn't for the Cooties.
A Princess Is a person who knows
more than her mother about every-
thing In the world but housework.
If Juliet lived to-day she wouldn't
waste any time on a Romeo who
spent hie evenings singing under her
window. She would dig np a live one
who owned a machine and would take
her out Joy riding.
Many a fellow who bragged that he
would rather fight than eat got mar-
ried and got his wish.
We do not know much. But we do
know that a man doesn't wear a wrist
watch so he will know when he has
held a girl's hand long enough.
There Is no harm In telling another
man Just what you think of him as
long as you pick out a man who Is
smaller than you are.
Disgust Is what you see expressed
on the face of the man who has been
married fifteen yeare when he hears
the man who has been married fif-
teen days bragging about the Joys of
Married Life.
A girl sees no harm In marrying a
man who is pretty well on ln years as
long as he Is pretty well off financial-
ly.
A man wouldn't suffer all day Just to
be In style. But It is different with
a woman.
You may not realize It. But most
people dislike to receive charity Just
as much as you dislike to give It.
This Is a queer world In which the
man with a wooden head thinks It is
up to him lo laugh at the man who
has a wooden leg.
We see the knockers have started
In on the Y. M C. A. Well, It was to be
expected. Can you remember the
knocking Clara Barton got when she
started the R*d Cross? Every big
organization that tries to handle thou-
sands of men and millions of
dollars is bound to make some mis-
takes. But In the case of the Red
Cross nnd the Y. M. C. A. If you deduct
the mistakes from the amount of good
done, humanity has been benefited at
least 99 per cent.

Red Cross Manager
Will Go to Siberia
(Temple Telegram Bpert.il,)
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 29.—George W.
Simmons, manager of the southwest-
ern division of the American Red
Cross, has been appointed a special
deputy of the War Council of the or-
ganization, and will go to Siberia to
determine the future expenditures of
the Red Cross In that country. He
will leave San Francisco on a United
States government ship early ln Jan-
uarj'. He will be absent from St.
Louis for about six months. Henry
Davison, chairman of the War Council
of the organization. In appointing
Simmons said he considered the St.
Louisian the best man ln the entire
organization to undertake the work In
Siberia and praised him for the un-
usual showing made by this division
under his direction.
A process for the purification of

Publicity, T. F. W. C.)
Not only to pay tribute to the
brave dead, but to pay equal homage
to the living soldiers, was the Idea
promulgated by the leading club
women of Texas at their annual con
ventlon. A resolution presented by
the chairman of the art, clvio art,
civics and subcommittees of the civic
department, was unanimously adopt-
ed. Its purpose was that the federa-
tion should foster a bill before the
next legislature that a state highway
from border to border shall be known
ai the Victory highway, ln com-
memoration of the heroism and de-
votion to duty of all Texas men ln
service In the world war.
Details, of course, would be taken
up later, but It Is recommended
that all counties and cities contem-
plating such memorials, will endeavor
to conform to some such Idea, or
where the need is urgent, public au-
ditoriums or school houses be the form
of memorials. Ours Is the day of
I the practical, based always on high
Ideals without which no lasting good
is ever accomplished.
The Idea of the Victory lillghwsy,
whether It memorallize for the state or
be adopted by separate counties. Is
both beautiful and practical. The(
universal consencus of oplinlon Is
that good roads are an economic
necessity, not merely a luxury. It Is
the Idea of the club women, that
the planting of trees, perferably nut
and fruit bearing, where possible
shall make the highway beautiful
that arches, boulders, tablets of stone
or bronze erected by relatives, friends
or a municipality, record the names
and deeds of Texas soldiers; men of
whom every citizen of Texas Is proud;
men by whose secrlfice and heroic
effort we are to enjoy the fruits of
a lasting peace.
Full text of resolution, regarding
Victory highway, calling also for the
establishment of stato and municipal
art commissions, etc., was presented by
MrB. J. B. Dibrell, San Antonio,
chairman art department; Mrs.
Florence C. Floore, Cleburne, chair-
man civic department; Mrs. A C.
Bewley, Ft. Worth, chairman civic
art committee; Mrs. J. L. Young,
Mineral Wells, chairman parks and
play grounds committee.
Resolution.
Resolved, That our legislative com-
mittee be Instructed to ask of the
coming legislature to pass a bill to
establish an art commission for the
state of Texas, the outline of the
plans to be stipulated by the T. F.
W. C.
Resolved, that the Texas Federa-
tion of Women's clubs, further the
plans for establishing a Victory high-
way, the lines to be determined by
the good roads and art commission,
across the state of Texas. Said high-
way to have Victory arches placed
at border lines and intervals, to be
bordered by nut and fruit trees and
other native trees as testlmon'als to
our Texas soldiers who enlisted ln
this war for humanity; that stones
be placed at Intervals along this high-
way by friends and relatives record-
ing the names and deeds of those who
have given valiant service or made
the supreme sacrifice. The upkeep
of this highway to bo placed in the
hands of a it e forester. We also
Recommend, that no contracts
throughout the state for monumental
or artistic work be awarded to those
who bid for contracts. All plans
should be approved by the stale art
commission, or a municipal p-t com-
mission, selected to serve wi.Vjt sal-
ary and composed of proper art critics
Irrespective of political affiliations.
Artists who bid for contracts should
be placed ln their proper class of
commercial artisians. We further—
Recommend, that in small villages
and towns, parks playgrounds and
avenues be named and beautified by
trees, seats and fountains as tributes
to the heroes who will never come
back and to those who return in vic-
tory. We further—
Recommend, that public buildings
be erected along artistic lines rather
than masses of stone. The Interi-
or decorations of said public buildings
to portray the scenes where our Ameri-
cans have won fame "over there"
to be awarded to high clas. xrtists,
only under the art commission super-
vision and to consist of mjral decora-
tions or other approprla.e themes,
Iiloa of McLennan County.
Following the instructions of the
eration of Waco adopted the following
resolution at their monthly meeting a
few days since:
Whereas, The T. F. W. C. recently
adopted a resolution endorsing a
movement for a memorial to Texas
soldiers, to be known as "The Victory
Highway;" and
Whereas, The plan suggested that
every county through which such
highway should pass should place
memorial tablets, or preferably plant
trees as memorials to Individual!,
therefore, be it
Resolver, That the City Federation
of Waco request the Y. M. B. L.
through Its monument committee to
consider some such plan for their pro-
posed memorial to "Soldiers of Waco,
McLennan County and 32nd Division."
Be -ft Further Resolved, That the
president of the federation Imme-
diately appoint a committee to bring
this matter before the Y. M. B. L.
The resolution was offered by Miss
Decca Lamar West, freely discussed
and unanimously adopted. Miss
Fiiend, president of the city federa-
tion, appointed Miss West and Mrs. W.
E. Spell the committee to take~ the
matter up with the memorial commit-
tee of the Y. M. B. L., of which Mr.
J. B. Fisher Is chairman.

cre had brought to the extremest
need.
"The response lias been most gen-
erous, but now the period of rehabil-
itation is at hand. Vastly larger
sums will be required merely to sus-
tain life in their desert exile.
"It Is estimated that about 4,090,-
000 Armenian, Syrian, and Greek and
other war sufferers ln the near east
will require outside help to sustain
them through the wlnt*r, Many of
them are now hundreds of miles
from their homeland, l'l.e vast ma-
jority of the more helpless women
and children, including 400,000 or-
phans.
"The American committee for re-
lief In the near east Is appealing for
a minimum of $30,000,000 to be sub-
scribed Jan. 12-19, 1919, with
which to meet the most urgent needs
of these people.
"I, therefore, again call upon the
people of the United States to make
even more generous contributions
than they have made heretofore to
sustain through the winter months
those, who through no fault of their
own, have been left In a starving
shelterless condition, and to help
these ancient and sorely oppressed
people ln their former homes on a
self supporting basis.
(Signed.) WOODROW WILSON."
The White House, No. 29, 1918.
A Nation's Safety
depends upon more than
wealth or the power of its
mighty guns. It rests in its
robust children and in its strong,
vigorous manhood.
