When a woman of 30 looks in-
to the future it eeems as brief as
a rabbits tail.
All men arip born equal, but
some are eqqtal to the occasion
and become political bosses.

Kefugio could be made one of
the prettiest towns in the state
of Texas, if the inhabitants
would only inane an effort to
have it so. Don’t start in and
talk some enormous project for
a month or so, and then let the
whole thing drop. This seems
to be a great failing among our
people. For instance, about
four years ago King’s Park as-
sociation was organized in this
city, for the purpose of having
the grounds, dedicated to the
noble defenders of the old “Miss-
ion”, improved and beautified.
There is only a slight improve-
ment now over the conditions as
they existed then. The commis-
sioners court has donated $900
toward the park improvement,
and this with the funds already-
had, ought to pay for a whole
lot of good ^ work being done.
Bet’s have the park fixed up at
once.
If a man’s children turn out
half as bad as he was at their
age he thinks the world is grow-
ing worse.
In times of improvements and
new enterprises and it is left to
some men to “put up” or “shut
up,1’ the usually do the later.
It is economy to be truthful
It pays, ft is dignified. It fnay
offend a few to refuse informa-
tion desired, but it will offend
more to pervert verity.

Here ia a snatch of the song
the editor has beep singing since
Thanksgiving dinner. “The
hawk and the owl and all other
fowls, look like chickens to
me.” Dou’t like turKey.
People lyon’t think of going to
a dance or party without an in-
vitation, but they will trade
with a merchant who never in-
vites their patronage nor asks
them to visit his store. Trade
with the merchants who are in-
viting you to patronize them
through the columne of yont
home paper.
The esteemed Kenedy Advance
flings the following appreciated
boquet at us: “Taking into
Consideration all the circumstan-
ces under which it is published,
the Kefugio Review is the best
country paper that reaches this
office. The good people of “The
Mission” have cause to feel proud
of their paper and its young
editor, Jim Gaffney.”
Parents should indelibly im-
press upon the minds of their
children wheb~TJjey' are sent to-
school the imperative importance
of studiously obeying the teach-
er.' Auv school where the schol-
ars are not under the conlrol
of the teacher is a dismal failure.
It is impossible, also, for a
teacher to control your children
if you listen to their little petty
grievances or the imagined par-
tialities shown others of their
class. It is far better for the
child, even if the teacher should
be a little unjust, to inane it un-
derstand that the teacher must
control. Uphold the teacher
and you build up your school;
visit the school whenever oppor-
tunity affords and thus show
that you taxe an interest in the
education of your childreu.—
Texas Coaster.
The annual report of the third
Assistant Secretary of State
makes some useful suggestions
looking to the improvement of
our consular service. The re-
commendations are of some
length but show ch*arlv that this
service is in need of careful revis-
ion, commencing with the selec-
tion of consuls with regard to
their training aiid fitness rather
than their political influence.
This service is particularly im-
portant since one of its main ob-
jects is the extentiou of American
trade abroad.

More than half the cotton of
the country is now produced west ■
of the Mississippi. Texas leads
all other States, with a crop of
2,500,000 bales. As this is
worth $50 a bale it will be seen
what a “pile of money” will be
brought into the Lone Star
State bv this single product.
With all her prolific sources of
wealth, cotton, cattle, oil, rice,
corn and timber, what an em-
pire Texas is destined to become I
before the twentieth century is j
hall finished.—American Farmer.
