Pears'
Soap
"Beauty is but skin-
deep" was probably
meant to disparage beau-
ty. Instead it tells how
easy that beauty is to
attain. ; • I
"There is no beauty
like the beauty of health"
was also meant to dispar-
age. Instead it encour-
ages beauty.
Pears' Soap is the
means of health to the
skin, and so to both these
sorts of beauty.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.

BRENHAM DAILY BANNER.
J. G. RANKIN, Proprietor.
Amonci his appointments sent by
the governor to the senate Saturday
the railroad commissioners were not
included for the reason that the
commission act provides that the
commissioners nppoiuted by the gov
ernor, the legislature not being in
session, shall serve until the inaugu-
ration of the next governor. There
was some talk Tuesday among a few
senators not over friendly to the ad
ministration that this clause of the
act contravenes that provision of the
constitution requiring the governor
to send to the senate for confirma-
tion during the first ten days of the
session all appointments made by
him in vacation. It was rumored
also that certain senators were a
trill* disgrunted because the gover-
nor failed to include commissioners
among the names sent and would so
express themselves in executive ses-
sion. It remains to be seen wheth-
er there is anything in these floating
rumors.
It has often been said that the
glovemakers of Paris make use in
their trade of the skins of rats which
are caught in the sewers, but this has
been denied. Certainly the material
would not be strong enough to suc-
cessfully counterfeit the kid unless it
were for the thumb part only, which
is generally of a thinner and different
kind of leather from the rest.—Wash-
ington Star.

among the members.

Almost every railroad company
htm a de-dee or motto which is print-
ed 011 tho time table folders, the let-

that hang on walls of station, wait-

devices are usually printed in colors,
and some of them are quaint and
clever. One of the most familiar is
the autumn tinted maple leaf, the
mam arteries of which designate the
route of the Chicago, St. Paul and

The Highlanders are loyal to Scot-

making a tour of the western High-
lands, wrote to the innkeeper of Ar-
roquhar, Loch Long, to have rooms
prepared for him.
On the appointed day it rained
ceaselessly. As Scott drew near the
inn, he was met on the hill near the
house by the landlord, who. with
bared head and backing every yard
as Scott advanced, thus addressed
him-.
"Gude guid us, Sir Walter I This
is just awfu' 1 Sic an a downpour'.
Was ever the like! I really beg your
pardon! I'm sure it's no fault o'
mine. I canna think how it should
happen to rain this way, just as you,
