ORANGE FOR ORANGES..
They tell us Orange got its name from its fa-
mous Orange groves. - Why not cultivate this de
licious and beautiful fruit again, on a large scale
and a better method? We are advised that the
orange growers on the Louisiana coast have
reaped a harvest this season. The yield has
been large, and the prices realized for the fruit
have been higher than any time within the past
ten years. The growers have learned by past
experience to protect their orchards, with the re-
sult that the cold snaps of winter cause very little
damage. Hundreds of new trees will be put out
during4December and January, and the yield next
year promises to be much greater than that of
the present season. That is the secret of success.
Protect the trees. The climate of Orange is as
well or better adapted to the growing of oranges
than the Louisiana coast, and there are only oc-
casional cold snaps, when protection forthe trees
is required. How many people in Orange will
plant an orange tree each and take cake of it?
In the meantime let us get ready for Arbor
Day, and while we are planting trees, remember
to plant an orange tree.
An orange tree is a thousand times more orna
mental and altogether more useful than pot
plants, and yet people will worry all the winter
to save the latter, when only a fraction of the
care and labor will assure a beautiful, healthy,
luscious orange tree.
ulator out, but if we give the devil his dues we
must acknowledge that without the speculator
large tracts of rich and productive lands would
remain undeveloped. His money and energy is
applied to rendering great tracts habitable and
inviting, and to make the fact known and bring-
ing the people to settle the land. Instance JT. B.
Watkins. What would Southwestern Louisiana
be today if it had not been for his money and en-
terprise? He bought immense bodies of swamp
lands for a bit an acre, and made it worth from
ten to fifty dollars an acre. Without the magic
touch of capital this lAnd would have remained
absolutely valueless, and Lake Charles would
still have been a small country place instead of
the proud little city it now is, one of the best in
the state. We need money, and energy to develop
the waste places and prepare them for the indus-
trious farmer, who, in turn may put out rich
lands in the highest state of cultivation and ob-
tain the best possible results.

HARD QUESTIONS.
Some of the Bump* a Query Bdltor
Occasionally Gets.
A correspondent writes a sorrowful
letter regarding his experiences In run-
ning “a correspondents’ column” In a
weekly paper. After he had written
both questions and answers for awhile
the public finally became warmed up
to the idea and begun to send In ques-
tions in whose presence the encyclope-
dia itself was all nerveless and trem-
bly. In one Saturday’s mail the follow-
ing letters were received addressed to
‘‘the editor of the correspondents’ col-
umn:”

as to the bustling little city of Orange.

Orange is not afflicted w.ith burglars like some
of our neighboring cities. Wonder if these train-
ed bloodhounds are not entitled to tmuch of the
credit? If Beaumont had a brace of good hounds
and some officers, things would happen in that
town right speedily.
The Western Publisher of Chicago, in its De-
cember issue has this neat compliment, which,
from so high an authority, certainly sounds good
to us: “The Daily Tribune of Orange, Texas, is a
crisp daily publication of merit. The editorial
page is especially bright, one ol the departments
of interest being ‘With Our Friends of the Press, ’
under which head many bright things are said in
the way of comment. ”
We shouldn’t be in the business we are in if
we didn’t thoroughly believe in the virtue of
printing.” Its efficacy in the development and
advancement of all business, public and private,
cannot be disputed. No successful business can
exist without godd printing and plenty of it. The
Orange Business League should be supplied with
the best literature obtainable. A prize might be
offered for the best vest pocket write-up of Or-
ange, and thousands of them be printed tor free
distribution, especially to the home-seekers who
are now coming by the hundreds from the middle
west to Texas. A hundred thousand good envel-
opes should be printed with a brief write-up of
Orange, its Resources and opportunities on the
reverse side, and an appeal made to the public to
use them in all correspondence, as a patriotic
duty. There are many ways in which the inter-
ests of the city could be advanced by a liberal
use of printer’s ink. /

Fifteen hundred more home-seekers arrived in
New Orleans on Thursday. They came with in-
dustry in their muscles and money in their pock
ets, and they are looking for homes. The South
ern Pacific Co. has them in charge, however, and
they will doubtless be hurried through southwest
Louisiana in the night.—Lake Charles Press.
Just so as to reach the Sabine by sun-up. We
believe that is the idea. The excursionists can-
not afford to miss seeing any of Texas.

Brer. Easterling, of tte Orange Tribune is one
of the most quoted paragrapbers on the Texas
press, recently, and he isn’t emitting any “flat
earth” hot air from his exhaust, either.—Sabinal
Sentinel.
Got tired of doing missionary work with the
boys, Hal. You know quite well that the earth
is stationary and is an irregular plane, but you
will not acknowledge it.
A membership of 111 in the.Business League is
a very flattering indication of the unity of pur-
pose shown by our people for the upbuilding of
the city. Working in harmony, this body of 111
men will be a mighty force for progress, anil
there are few good things which it will not be
possible for it to accomplish. Everybody should
help whether he is a member of the Business
League or not. Altogether, now.—Orange Trib-
une. >
Such a league should help Orange and no doubt
it will. Orange deserves to grow and prosper
as well as her skeeters.—Austin Tribune.

An editorial writer, having three minutes on
his bands useless, made a very successful effort
to define the term “Sucker. ”
The sucker is a smart Alex at 20 who knows
more than his grandfather at 80.
A sucker is a hoodoo that buys packages of
soap with $10 bills in them for $5.
A sucker is one who buys hid* goods from a
traveling peddler or a curbstone fakir when he
dan buy them of his home merchant cheaper.
A sucker is a windbag that stands around the
corner and abuses everybody and imagines peo-
ple don’t get to hear it.
A sucker is a fool that puts his money on the
wheel of fortune expecting to beat the shark at
his own game.
A sucker is a little fish that is not worth the
worm it takes to catch it, but a human sucker
is generally caught on an empty hook.
There are several other kinds of suckers, but
the Tribune would be a sucker to devote any
more space to them.
These questions may look easy, but ! clothes and shoes has seemed a con-
temptible truckling to the effete cus-
toms of society that was unworthy of
an intelligent human being.
“Suddenly all this Is changed. Some
morning the boy appears abnormally
clean. He develops a mania for scent-
ed soap. His ears are beyond re-
proach, and if be has the malting of a
lover In him he begins to manicure his
uailn. He becomes critical about col-
lars and neckties. His family say,
‘How Tommy is Improving!’ and his
mother congratulates herself that her
lectures are bearing fruit at last.
“In reulity it Is the first premonition
of love—vague. Inarticulate, Intangible,
but unmistakable. No man ever real-
izes bis defects until he sees them re-
flected In feminine eyes. Men do not
dress up for each other; but for wom-
an’s opinion they would still be going
about in comfort and the aboriginal
blanket. The silk hat and dress coat
are a daily offering on her shrine, and
Tommy’s newly awakened desire to flX
up is simply his first consciousness of
lower altitudes. There are many stories
told of the lordly ram doing battle
with wolves, Vliich are on n par with
the story of leaping from dizzy heights.
The old ram* are cunning, and in this
woman. 'He does not understand its
portentousness, and he may still out-
wardly scorn little girls, but for hi hi

POULTRY POINTERS.
Early hatched pullets make the best
winter layers. - I :
One of the most beneficial foods for
poultry is linseed meal.
The laying hens like a variety not
only In the soft food, but In the grain.
The guinea fowl is a great forager
and destroys many insects that hens
will not touch.
The hens will lay better and be better
contented If supplied with a box of
fine dry earth for a dust bath.
The Leghorns are popular with those
who do not desire to raise chicks, they
being nonsitters and good layers.
Poultry farming doesn’t take a great
deal of laud, but with good manage-
ment the harvest comes every day.
In arranging the perches in the poul-
try house have them far enough away
from the doors and windows to avoid
drafts.
Soaked lime placed in the drinking
water will often cure bens of laying
shell-less eggs unless It is a disease of
the egg passage, as Is sometimes tl}6
case.
The Capitol and the White Hoaae.
The street urchins of Washington to-
day would hardly know by the names
assigned them on the original maps the
two chief buildings planned for the
national capital. The capitol was then
the “Congress house” and the White
House the “President’s house." The
exposure Intended for the front in each
building has since become for practical
purposes the back. The capitol was
made to face east, but landowners
pushed up tbelr prices so that the city
grew on the west and is there today.
The White House wns made to face
the Potomac river on the south, after
the fashion of the Virginia mansions of

can people as facing Pennsylvania av-
