Get In lino with other progressive
people and build a sidewalk.
Stick to the truth and endeavor to
give everyone a square deal.
A pat on the back will do more good
than words of criticism often times.
Now if those "Merry 'Widow” hats
are made water proof there may be
more reason in them than appears on
the surface
Wonder where Looney got on at
•nvway? There seem* to have been
many who went before and at least
one has come after.
' Snap Shots denies the proposition
that every roan has his price and In
proof of Its assertion says that some
men gives themselves away.
Attend the Board of Trade meeting
at the Brookstone Thursday night
and be sure to take at least one man
with you. Two would be better.

There are so many people dying
throughout the country these days
whose ages are chronicled at exceed-
ing 100 years that such events are rap-
idly losing their news value.
This talk from Chicago about the
raliroads shortly needing something
over a quarter of a million men
sounds mighty good and indicates
that the prospects of better conditions
are not very far from being realized.
The revival of the workings of the

call for a return to active duty of
some of the old time officers who had
the habit of going out after their man

This Is a free rountry and there are

Mr. Cobbs Is one of Mr. K. H. Hard-
man's able attorneys. He was elected
a delegate at large in 1904 by the very

nounce liarrlman and other magnates
as trust kings and then load down
their attorneys and agents with the
honors of office. The Times Herald
believes in consistency.—Dallas Times

One of the questions that is agitat-
ing a large number of people in the
State Is whether of not this full ren
dition Is going to result in lower tax-
es. If It does not there Is going to
be a road that will be unmistakable In
its meaning—Denison Herald.
That will depend largely upon what
sort of a looking crowd the dear tax
payers are going to send up to Austin
next January to regulate the expendi-
tures.—Laredo Times

A little girl of five who lives in the
south part of town was going away
on an early train one morning last
week. She arose at the, for her, un-
precedented hour of 5, and happening
to look out of a west windovy saw the
moon Just setting. Her previous ac-
quaintance with moons had been lim-
ited to the evening hours, and she
was Intensely astonished. She looked
at it for a moment in amazement and
then burst into a laugh. She rushed
into the next room where her father
was still asleep and pounded him will*
her small fists to arouse him to atten-
tion. “Oh, papa, papa," she shouted
when he showed sign* of waking, "do
wake up. I’ve got the best joke on

en» record straight the Dallas Times
Herald is going back into ancient hi*
tory. It demands to know who select-
ed Hon. T. D. Cobb* of San Antonio as
a delegate at large to the, St. LOtila
convention in 19W. It aiao wanta to
have spent millions of dollars trying
to gain It, but have failed utterly.
Others have won it practically without
the expenditure of a single dollar.
The successful newspapers of today
were not born yesterday. They were
established—the most of them—many
years ago, and have attained their
present position by patient, persever-
ing and intelligent hard work. Good
will Is based on public confidence and
confidence comes only after trial.
Hence no newspaper can expect, un-
der ordinary circumstances, to have
the loyal support of the public as soon
as it 1$ launched. It must be tested
in the crucible of experience; it must
prove Its right to exist. Promises
count for nothing; it is their faithful
performance that Inspires confidence
and wins support.
The newspaper that touches the
goal line is the one that is honestly
conducted in the interests of the
community It serves. It stands for
political as well as moral righteous-
ness. It protects Its public from
fraud, graft, and evil whenever it has
the opportunity to do so. It wears no
collars, is no man's organ, and doesn't
flinch when danger threatens. It does
Its level best to help the people to
think rifrjft, to do right, and to get the
best there is out of life. It supports
good men for office and opposes the
unworthy even though they may be
the nominees of its own party.
A newspaper of this kind after a
while wins the confidence and esteem
of the public. People believe in it, and
take It to their hearts. It comes to
them every morning and evening as a
friend laden with good things. They
feel that the news it brings is relia-
ble, and that its editorial opinions are
honest even though they do not al-
ways agree with them.
Out of this intimate relationship
comes goodwill, that most important
of all newspaper assets, which often
represents nine-tenths of its value.

haw 1 got bar:
I advertised for such a parson as I
hare hare indicated, all candidates to

and hour. When they were assembled
I questioned them In a preliminary
manner and weeded oat all but three
of them. They were all woman. Than
1 gave them the following problem:
“Here is a stery,” I said, “of a dinner
party at whlah there wage, aay, a desen

on her finger a peculiar ring. One alt-
ting pext bar naked .to see it It was
banded to her for eatmination. Her
next neighbor desiring to aaa It it was
passed to him and from him to the next
and the next till it had bean examined
by every ooe at the tnbio. Meanwhile
there was the hum of conversation, and
the ring was forgotten. Than the lady
asked that whoever had it would re-
turn it to bar. No one had the ring. Its
owner looked astonished, then indig-
nant One of the guests proposed that
tha party submit to search. The propo-
sition was adopted, and each guest con-
sented excapt oa# young man, who de-
clarad that be would not submit to
auch ignominy. Then the host said:
“ ‘I will pay the value of the ring. I
do not wish to suffer the notoriety the
bringing of this matter up in the courts
would involve. All except one of us
have proved ourselves Innocent. He la
either guilty or for some reason known
only to himself Is content to remain
considered so.’
“A year after this upon the moving
of a sideboard the ring whs found In
a crevice. There had been no theft
“I will give three different reasons
why the young man declined to aubmit
to search, be being, like the rest, inno-
cent. Each reason may be used aa
the denouement or, rather, I consider
It the motif of the story. I have my
own opinion which of the three ia the
strongest for use. If but one of you
agrees with me I shall consider her tha

will see situations more clearly aa I see
them. If more than one of you choose
my preferred denouement I will offer

I refer to:
"First.—The young man was very
poor and would rather be considered a
thief than have it kaewn that he had
not a cent In his pocket
“8econd.—He bad a sick sister at
home and had taken from a table a
bird to carry to her. He would rather
be considered a thief than have bis
act and the poverty of his family ex-
posed.
“Third.—He considered that an Inno-
cent man would demean himself by
consenting to be searched.”
