THE CHURCHES
ANDBUSINESS
A CITIZEN WRITES POINTEDLY
ON THE VALUE OF GOOD
CHURCH BUILDINGS
To the Editors of the Herald
As thereIs a good deal of Interest
being manifested in the matter of
church buildings at this time I have
felt that this communication would
> not be untimely The matter of
churches school houses paved
streets good roads and public build-
ings are of general Interest to all
alike and by no severer standard
than the character of Its churches
and school houses is a town Judged
by investors and homeseekers
In helping to carry through the
building of the Christian church of
this place I have had occasion to
visit a number of Texas cities and
nowhere have I found jis great a lack
of commodious and attractive church
buildings as in Palestine People
fiom North and West Texas come to
Palestine and say that our town
Which Is very beautiful In most re-
spects Is far behind in the matter of
churches and that they have small
towns of only five or six hundred
people that have better church build-
ings than we have and this is a fact
The people have been very kind to
us in helping us build our new
church and for this we are very
thankful Indeed While we havent
yet gotten through we will do so and
when It is finished the Christian
church of Palestine will be a building
that will be a source of pride not
only to the members of that church
hut to every citizen of Palestine and
how the Methodist people have un-
dertaken to build two new churches
and every one should fall in line and
help them
It a stranger should come to town
both the members of our church and
of the Methodist church would be
ashamed to take him over and show
him the buildings that we are using
at present and if the same party
should go to Tyler or Marshall or an-
other city of the same comparative
size and wealth he would naturally
think those cities moie uptodate
and progressive than we are It is
a matter of interest not only to such
organizations as religious Institu-
tions but is of general interest to
eery public spirited citizen of Pal-
estine
We point with pride to our school
iea our cHy lfa7n l > ur paved1
eets our Y JM C A but when we
take visitors and homeseekers over
our town we are careful to avoid the
church question When we build up
churches as we have our public In-
stitutions then we will be able to
point with pride to them and you
may expect to see Palestine grow
and become a firstclass city
Every citizen of Palestine is in-
terested in the matter of good church
buildings whether be ls a church
member or not and regardless of any
denomination whether Catholic or
protestant He is interested In it
from a business standpoint
Now let us help the Methodists
build their two churches and when
the committee calls on you dont turn
them down but give them something
Our church will be completed very
soon and we give a special invitation
to come and examine It We feel
that the people have bulit it and that
they have a large interest in It
whether they are members of our
church or noL Respectfully

WOMENS SENSES
Ther Are It la Salil Less Acute Than
TUose ut Men-
The uinn when his tooth wiih pulled
ydled hoarsely The next patient a
woman bore the pain of three extrae
tlouH with silent fortitude
Yen said the dctitlft women en-
dure the pangs of tooth pulling better
thnn men but they deserve no praise
on till account They feel the pain
lets Experiments linw frequently
been made to tent the neilteness of the
masculine mid feminine sense A
fcerles of experiments were made In
New York city and they were interest
lug and conclusive
Tlr t taate was tried The male
suhjcfl iimld detwt In water the
presence of the sixtieth part of a grain
of gall The vionion couldnt distin-
guish the gall lu a smaller quantity
thnu the twentieth or a grain The
mens taste wan three times kteuer
than the womens
Next smell The men studied the
presence of the hnmlrcdth part of a
grain of 11r1iMlt acid Hie women
were unconscious of the acid till a
tttnntity five times greater was set be-
fore them In smell the men were
fie times the womens superiors
Men heard n watch ticking at a ills
tanee of ten yards women could onlj
hear It at a distance of two yards The
males again you see were the times
the letter It was the same thing with
sight and with touch The men saw
five times lMtter They felt live times
more kepnlj and delicately
These experiments explain In a way
theappnrent anomaly of womans won-
drous fortitude to pain Womaus

Humble Ile
The term humble pie originally car-
ried no opprobrium with It It wai a
pie made out or the humble or
numble from the Norman French
uoiulirll I v tho ttitrallic of a deer
To till tiny It Is highly esteemed In
Scotland ami In northern pact of Eug
Intnl So late a the time of Pepy
umble pie was served u part of the
menu of n gentleman table on an ex
traonllnury occasion Some writer
derive the contumelious use of the
phrase to ent humble pie from an al-
leged custom of serving umble pie be-
low the suit or nt the second table
Cut till I not supported by authortty
It more prolmbly caum Into use simply
thruush the similarity of sound there
being no similarity of meaning what-
ever between the nimii umble or num
ble ami the adjective humble

DACHSHUNDS
A FlRUtrrs of limine Thejr ItaTr ITo
Cnnlnr Kquntn
The good natured philosophic Ger-
man dachshund ha always been re-
garded as more or less of a Joke in
this country Kven in the fatherland
he I a staple for jesting His elongat-
ed body hi crooked legs his animated
tail his resemblance to a sausage
who could fail to make some sort of
joke about n dachshund
But the dachshund has a very seri
ou side and n work In life
Dachshund means badger dog
Xow the badger Is an animal that
generally speaking needs neither game
laws nor sympathy because he Is able
to tnke care of himself and fight bU
own battles Naturalists place him as-
a link between the bear family and
the weasels He has about all the
strenuous characteristic of both with
some of his own In addition
Badger baltiug was formerly a bar-
barous rustic sport that drew trade to
country Inns and taverns A badger
was placed in a barrel and the man
whose dog could bring him out got a
prize A single dog seldom did It A
full pack might sometimes The
badger is a tremendous burrower and
the jolly dachshund of the Jokes has
been trained for centuries In Germany
to go into his burrows like a ferret aft-
er rats and drive the badger out or
tight him In some German and Aus-
trian cities there were formerly badger
halting tourneys la which crack dachs-
hunds entered a pit with an able
bodied badger nbd fought for pont3
It Is said that such contests are still
held in Vlemin For spirit endurance
and agility the daebshuud has no peer
in this work mid a bulldog pitted
against a badger would probably And
himself cutting a poor figure
So make the jokes about the dachs-
hund if you will but give him credit
for his prowess and for that gentle-
ness characteristic also of the best
bulldogs that makes both au affec-
tionate companion to man and a loyal
playmate to children Give the dachs-
hund credit too for Intelligence He
has It In large degree Felv dogs are

COIN CURIOSITIES
A Great Varletr of Materials Ha
Deen Used For Money
Among the early Roman copper coin
was one that weighed nine and one
half ounces and must have proved in-
convenient small change for the Ro-
man matron when she went shop-
ping China of all countries ancient
and modern exhibits the greatest vari-
ety In the matter of coins The earli-
est money on record about 2000 B C
consisted of shells and cowries The
was used for small change
cowry
while tortoise shell and purple cypraea
value A decrease id the supply or
shells and Increasing prosperity called
for a more handy medium of exchange
and cash the coin with a square hole
In the center came Into existence and
remains in use to this day
Among the earlier Chluese coins was
one of porcelain nbout threequarters
of an Inch lu diameter and u quarter
of au inch thick bearing the legend
Eternal Prosperity A very curious
knife money was at one time used in
the state of Tsl It was of copper
shaped like a bill hook about seven
Inches long and fitted at the end with
a ring During periods of metal scar-
city in China Iron lead tin baked
earth grain silk and shells have been
used as a circulating medium v
In Japan an Iron coinage begun
about 1030 has existed up to the pres-
ent day A curious coin made of a
mixture of silver and copper was long
In use In Japan It varied In size from
a small pea to a large bean Lead
coins were also used there for five cen-
turies Glass was employed as a sub-
stance for coin for many centuries In
Egypt while wooden money is men-
tioned in many of the Buddhistic writ-
ings
Russian Superstitions
In Russia much rain is considered a
good omen It is believed that the
downfall washes away the evil spirits
who would otherwise be hovering In
the air ready to work woe to the mon-
arch about to place his crown on his
head the bride on the point of plight-
ing her vows the babe on its way to
the font or whosoever might be the
hero or heroine of the moment Fur-
ther the superstitious moujlk believes
that each stream of water bn its
Husalka or good spirit a lovely maid-
en with yellow hair floating down her
back who spread plenty around but
should the water fall so that her hair
dries she will die and famine or
other disaster ensue
o Homnnce
He dropped her hand with a sigh of
defeat
Mutely she looked Into hi eye as
though seeking in his glance some mes-
sage that would convey the word she
sousht
With one slow look nt her hand a It
lay where he had let It fall he shook
his head slowly and said
Give them the trick You havent a
trump Puck
Unlrersnl Experience
Thp distinguished citizen had return-
ed from a trip abroad
Did the old world give you the glad
hnnil they asked him
Oh ye he said or rather it
gave me the expectant hand It wasnt
the glad band until I had put the tip

In Dresden 300 years ago epicures
used to eat Venetian oysters that had
