Not game played in the Texas
league yesterday—rain.
j® With a bumper small grain crop
karvaatad and Baved, with a record
oorn crop now in sight and practically
MMrared, and with cotton fairly out-
growing itself—verily "we should
| Worry."
A fO-bushel oat crop, a 40-buahel
\eorn crop, and a 3-4ths of a bale cot-
>H crop this year would tide old Bell
county over very comfortably, thank
70tt-«-a&d it's a pretty safe bet now
t&at the makes It.
Yesterday's Telegram contained
news items telling of two different
new railroad offices opening up in
Temple on the same day—the T. N.
W. 41 O., and the Waco-Temple-Aus-
tin intarurban. Sounds pretty big,
doesn't it?
''A man's a dern fool," say* G. Wil-
lleus Wopp,
"Who goes through his lifetime un-
married;
It's easy to get you a sweet honey-
drop, • ■ « < ^
Provided you ain't went and tarried
Oh, men talk to m» about having
too much
To think about while they are
single.
And ain't got the time to talk mar-
riage and such,
As long as they've money to jingle."
The saying ot WUlicus Wopp ig the
truth
If ever a mortal has told it;
A man never thinks of a wedding, in
sooth,
Until his distresses unfold it.
As soon as a man gets the idea he's
fulled
To gobble the kale and swing to it.
He's willing to have hia account-book
femaled—
A woman to tame and subdue It.
"The year that I married," says one
simple mutt,
"I hadn't » dash bliggered penny;
But after my lady took charge of the
hut.
My cash has been twenty percenty.
You see," he goes on, "my , wife she's
a bird,
A regular four-ply peacherino;
She makes me save money—and I
will be blurred
If hers ain't the plan with the
keno!"
Oh, tt ever was thus since the first
fall of man,
That men have belittled the wo-
men;
They figure them into the Ultimate
plan,
If the plans ain't already a-brim-
min'.
The ossified sen of a sea-serpent who
Can't figure them in but to use
them.
"Had oughter be shot," says old Billy
Ballew,
"Just to furnish some fun to amuse
them!"
PLEASANTRIES.
(Kansas City Journal.)
Not NoUocable.
I saw the mother of the bride
Xdorned with ropes of pearls. .
I viewed the bridesmaids with much
pride,
For they were pretty girls.
I'saw the curate in his gown,
The bishop in his robe.
And other folks of great renown
Upon this mundane globe.
I couldn't see the groom, although
I used to be his pal,
Nobody sees the groom! he's so
Infinitesimal.

Stab Received by Becker-Roe*®thai
Witness Proves Not to Have
Serious.
j KEW YORK. June 17.—"Bridgie"
Webber wae able today to leave the
hospital where he has been since Sat-
urday morning when he was stabbed
in the back under mysterious cir-
cnmstances. Fears that the knife
Wight have been poisoned were
and It is believe.d there is
no danger of complications.
Webber has steadfastly refused to
tell anything more of the stabbing
than that it was some unknown "kid"
who attacked him on the Btreet just
after he had left the party with whom
he had been on the East Side. Many
ef hie Bast Side friends, however,
hold the belief that Webber's life
waa sought by some of his enemies in
revenge for his testimony in the
snant Charles Becker trial, in-
f volvlpg many members of the gamb-
Iraternity.
It is Bad to Spread.

quaintance who can eat chocolate

Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face.
Thy Naiad airs have brought me
home
To the glory that was Greece
And the grandeur that was Rome.
Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche
How statue-like I see thee stand,
The agate lamp within thy hand!
Ah, Psyche, from the regions which

[Editor's Note.—In this space each j
day will appear a brief biographical j
sketch of some citlsen of Temple or j
Bell county, giving a short record of
the past and present activities of the I
subject, without personal laudation or
complimentary "boost." Selection of
subjects will be made by the author:

J. L. Taylor.
Mr. Taylor was born in Barry i
county. Missouri, October 1 8, 1839. j
His schooling was very limited and
i that was in a log house which had
'a dirt floor. At the ago of 11 he
j began farm work by running a bull- j
j tongue plow with which he had to
jmake five tripa to a middle. There
i was plenty of game in that country,
j such as deer and turkeys. His father
would make turkey traps by building
a pep of logs about eight feet long,
four feet high and covering with
logs and brush; he would dig a
trench running from some distance
I outside to the inside of the pen.
I Then he would scatter shelled corn
1 throueh the woods The turkeys
i would follow this trail of corn into
! the trap and would never find the
! trench to get out again. There were
i no churches In that commurlt> but
: the preachers would often stop at
; his father's bouse and pr°ach there
! One cold Sunday a Methodist prea^h-
j er was there with no chickens handy;
; so Mr. Taylor, then about 11 years
(old, went down to the turkey pen
i and found three old gobblers In it.
It was about a mile to the house and
they needed the ttirkey. So down
into the trench he went and into the
♦ 'pen with the turkej-s. He thought
