a Record of 150 Years Showing Seasons of
Tern.
Old citizens, great grandfath-
erp, and local wiseacres not em*
braced in either of these cate-
gories, have had mueh to Bay of
late about the unprecedented
rainfall in this section the past
two months. And they have all
declared with superlative vehe*
menoe that the present season it
"the worst they ever saw." This
propensity to superlativeness is
not oonfined to the weather, It
is generally "the worst" when
we have a bad cold, a boil or any
of the other ills that flesh is heir
to. indeed, there are perhaps
some who will declare before
they have perused this article
much further that it "is the
worst" they ever saw.
Judge Beauregard Bryan of
Brenham is the custodian of a
very comprehensive sorap book,
containing many interesting
soraps of Texas history culled
from the press of the Lone Star
state from time to time. This
scrap book will throw some light
on the present horrible weather
All old Texans know that we
have cyoles of wet and dry years,
and on this subjeot Col. Guy M
Bryan several years ago wrote
an artiole, in whioh he cited a
treatise on the olimate of Texas,
written by Mr. I. Kuohler, a sci
entitle German farmer of Gilles
pie county. Mr. Kuchler had
compiled a table giving the sea*
sons of Texas for 150 years past.
His table was made up from an
examination of the rings in the
growth of aged trees. By long
and careful study of the subject
Mr. Kuchler oonceived the be
lief that these rings of annual
growth furnished unmistakable
indications whether the year of
the growth was wet or dry. By
examining the rings in post oak
trees that had reached the age of
200 years, his table was formed,
extending over a period of 150
years back. During this long
period Mr. Kuchler found but 19
dry years, 11 very dry and 12
extremely dry. During the same
period there were 22 average
years, 11 wet years and 59 very
wet years.
Col. Bryan adds: "When this
table was published I compared
it with the experience of several
old settlers, and its statements
corresponded with our knowl
edge of the seasons as far back
as our recollections could carry
Mrs. George Pettus returned
to Georgetown yesterday after a
visit to relatives in the city.

"the Smart Set" For August.
The leading story in The Smart
Set for August is entitled "The
Master Chivalry," and is by
Margaret Lee, whose novel, "Di-
vorce," was some yeara ago re*
viewed at length by Mr. Glad*
stone and exoited discussion on
two continents. Miss Lee de-
clares that "The Master Chiv-
alry" is the best and strongest
story she has ever written. Its
"motif" is the moral salvation of
a beautiful New fork society
girl by a man who has the cour-
age to rise above social preju-
dice. The theme and the situa-
tions are wholly new in fiction,
and the story is startling and ab>
sorbing. * * * An article of sen-
sational interest is "The Secret
of St. Jame's Palace," by Allan
Upward, a revelation of what has
been the greatest mystery in the
history of the royal family of
England. This article was sub-
mitted to The Smart Set, it is
•aid, because English publishers
dared not print it, and the state-
ment may well be credited. " * *
The other features of the August
number are as varied as they are
sprightly and fascinating. The
breezes of mountain and sea
blow through the pages, which
contain uever a dull line. One
marvels where The Smart Set se-
cures all its brilliant contribu-
tions. It was freely predicted
that the standard of the first
numbers could not be maintained
—that there was not enough suoh
bright literature written in the
course of a year to fill twelve
numbers of 160 pages eaoh of
this periodical of cleverness; but
•very suooeMive number has
been more interesting, more
witty, more vivacious than the
last. The Smart Set, in half a
year, has come to be reoognized
in both the literary and society
worlds as the smartest and most
entertaining magazines of this
day.

In selecting these goods the best
good taste has been used. Oar fig-
ured lawns, for instance^ are exhibits
of the weaver's art, and in his treat-

harmonious is the result that no color
obtrudes itself more prominently than
the other, aad the entire arrangement
creates a most dainty effect.

Clothes that Fit.
Who does not envy that man
who is perfectly at ease with himself
sad the rest of the world? If his
coat crowded his back, his trousers
polled his leg, his vest squeezed
him, his necktie played horseback
with him, or his shirt persisted in
twisting him around, he wouldn't
be so easy. Details and fit go a
long way toward putting confidence
in a man. That's our long rait.
We look to details.
