BRENHAM BANNER.
,WH* «. IUKRIK,
CMhn, P»t»lkit»«r mmI Proprietor
Brenham, Thar»day, Jan. 26, 1905.
American hens furnished the
markets with 20,000,000,000 eggs
uuring the year 1904.
THE United States Supreme
Court hss remanded the case of
Senator Burton of Kansas for a
new trial
Russian revolutionists deny the
charge that they intend harming
the Czar. They are after the
monied aristocrats, Dukes and
trust promotore.
It has been discovered that the
Russian soldiers are in full sym«
pathy with the strikers at St.
Petereberg and cau not, there-
fore, be depended upon to sup*
pre6S violence.
With the surplus cotton of this
season held by the producers,
and with concerted action in re-
ducing acreage,there is no rea-
son whatever why the South
should not be in control of the
ootton situation.
The offioial records at Ellis
Island show that for the first
month of the new year immigra-
tion to this country is likely to
exceed all records. From the
first to the tenth of January the
arrivals number over 14,000
The most satisfactory reduc-
tion of cotton acreage ia that
which comes from an increased
acreage in other crops, added to
the most thorough cultivation of
She cotton. Full corncribs and
smokehouses strengthen ability
of planters to be independent of
manipulations in the cotton
markets.
A yodng woman writes to ask
us how she may become a trained
nurse, not having the money to
attend a school for nurses. One
of the best and quickest ways
that we can suggest is for her to
marry some healthy young fel-
low, and ten chances to one, in
about twelve months she will be
getting all the training as a nurse
that she desires.—Bonham News
A Paris scientist now comes
forward with the pleasing declar
ation that the generally accepted
theory that kissing is injurious
and positively dangerous to
health is a mistake. He declares
that, instead of being lnjurous,
kisses carry microbes, the inter
change of which is positively
necessary for the best of health
and happiness. He insists that
kissing is not dangerous. The
latter part of his contention will
not always hold good in Texas
It depends entirely on whether
or not the right woman is kissed.
It is still very dangerous to kiss
another man's wife and get
caught at it—Bonham News,
It is the opinion of the Bon-
ham News that the present legis-
lature will either be the most
popular or unpopular legislative
body that has convened for many
years. It is against many com-
plexing problems, one of whioh
is the raising of revenue with
which to supply a $60,000 deficit.
If it solves that complexing prob-
lem by enacting laws providing
for a more just rendition of prop-
erty values, and provides some
way by which the intangible as-
sets of^he country may be more
strictly and accurately taxed, it
will receive the approbation and
hearty thanks of every Texan.
On the other hand, if it fails to
do something similar to the
above, and instead raises the ad
valorem tax on realty, thereby
saddling the burden upon the
farmers of the country—the great
mass of the common people as
oontradistinguised from the rich
—if the legislature be guilty of
such conduct as this, the eov-
ereign voters of Texas wJU rise
up in strength, take the
scalps of the Solons at Austin
and s»ndat%er men in their stead
*wo years hence.
SILSKCES OP LOYI.
Outlook: In all these crisis of
life which bring us face to face
with our mortality the wise are
silent; for in those awful mo-
ments the importance of speeoh
is tragically apparent. A pres-
sure of the hand conveying the
warmth of love in the sudden
chill and the appalling silence id
our recognition that we have
traveled beyond the realm of
speech and have come within the
empire of silence. Later, when
we have returned to our places
and the old duties become blessed
ministers of meditation, we speak
again. For us, as for our re-
motest ancestors, life is still so
much vaster than language that
when its depths are unoovered
we stand silent in a preaenoe in
which Bilence is the highest form
of prayer.
We speak today and tomorrow
it is as if we had not spoken, and
we must begin once more at the
beginning. After the little out-
pouring of yesterday the foun-
tain has filled again. Thus, for-
ever, the lover is haunted by the
feeling that he has not spoken
and that everything remains to
be said; for no words of mortal
making are deep enough to hold
the thoughts and passions that
partake of immortality.
If the silence of love were not
deeper and richer in meaning
than its speech it would utterly
fail of adequate expression; no
sentence would ever form on its
lips that would compass the full
wealth of its thought. But those
who share the division of the
divine in human relationship hold
in common a vast empire of hope
and faith, of knowledge and ex-
perience, which is jointly pos-
sessed in every part so completely
that no word needs to be said
about it; and the hush that falls
on those who climb when, at the
summit, the view opens to the
horizon, often descends on those
who see life from the same point,
and each knows what lies in the
vision of the other. Perhaps the
highest office of speech between
the fortunate who have found
one another is to expand this em-
pire of silence within which all
the highest, finest, most spiritual
hopes and experiences are safe-
guarded against the ravages of
time and fate. AH speech that
is worth while passes into the
keeping of that silence in which
the soul hides itself inviolate;
the greater and deeper the love,
the vaster the world that is held
in common and the more preg-
nant and eloquent the silence be-
tween two souls who have elected
to make the journey together.

Make your boy a confidant.
Be his friend, not his master. It
is, of course, a trifle to you, but
the loss of a favorite "agate" ia
a serious thing to him. If be
does wrong it is seldom neces-
sary to whip all the pantaloons
off of him. Don't humiliate him
when he makes a break. Per-
haps you wasn't any smarter at
his age. As long as he tells you
his troubles .he is safe. When
he doesn't do it he is in danger.
Tell him of these dangers before
he blunders into them. It is not
necessary to flag an old well af-
ter a man has fallen into it. Al-
ways tell your boy the truth, for
if he deteots you lying he loses
confidence in you. Teach him
pure honesty and show him how
happy ha can be when be does
right. Show him the beauties of
life, and how Qod has plaoed
happiness in reaoh of every hu-
man being. See that he knows
how to earn a living at some
honest profession, and I will
guarantee your boy Will grow to
be a bolace to your dealing years,
and an honor to the community
in which be lives. Give the boy a
chance and he will not disappoint
you.— Harpoon.

Kerosene and Lice.
Kerosene is sure death to lioe, if
put in ay ray. Spray walls, roost b,
corners and nestings and it will kill
all lice and vermin as sure as the
work is done. We sprinkle the bot-
tom of the nest with it, and cover
with a heavy coating of soft straw.
If kerosene is used freely on roosts
once a week you will have no Bcaley
legs and at the same time it prompt-
ly works annihilation to the pesky
red louse that preys on the fowls at
night, eapying the very life's blood
from their veins, and retiring to
roost poles during the days.
Kerosene is used ia combination
with lard or butter and applied in
liberal quantities on the heads and
wingB of chicka and turkey poults,
larger number of promiaing fowls
will be brought to maturity, which
otherwise would aucoumb to the
ravages of life.

Hogs and Peanuts.
A. W. McCraery, a leading
stock raiser of Gonzales county,
was in Seguin Wednesday. In
conversation with a Gazette re-
porter he mentioned his exper-
ience in raising peanuts and feed-
ing hogs with them. This year
he planted 80 acres to Spanish
peanuts and fattened 500 head of
hogs on them. The peanuts are
easily raised on poor Bandy land
and the hogs do the digging.
Land unfit for corn or cotton
will raiae the nut and very sel-
dom ia irrigation needed in this
seotion. Some of his hogs gained
a pound per day and they refused
all other feed offered them. Six
weeks put them in prime order.
The Houston packery reported
the clean up from this lot satis-
factory, which means the meat
was of the proper hardnesa. In
feeding, the lot were put on 20
acres first and when they had se-
cured all the nuts they were put
on an another 20 acres, etc. A
fence easily moved was uaed.
Mr. MoCraery says he could have
made more money on the lot had
he known what he now knows
about raising the nuts and feed-
ing. His profits were very satis-
factory.
Mr. MoCraery'0 experiment
opens a great opportunity for
the sandy land farmers of Guada-
lupe county who find cotton un-
profitable. His results were ob-
tained on poor land on which
there was no water. He says he
was offered 70 cents per bushel
for the nuts in San Antonio.
This beats any crop that will
grow on sucb land-—Seguin j
