One of the reasons why "R. J. & R." shoes wear longer
and hold their shape to the very last is because they are

Anton Eggel
A man comes into this world
without his consent and leaves it
against his will. During his stay
on earth his time is spent in one
continous round of contraries
and misunderstandings by the
balance of our species.
In Ills infancy he is an angel;
in boyhood he is a devil, in man-
hood any thing fro a lizard up; in
his duties he is a fool; if he rais-
es a family he is a chump; if he
raises a small check he is a thief,
and then the law raises the dev-
il with him; if he is a poor man
he is a poor manager if he is rich
he is dishonest but considered
smart; if he is in politics he is a
grafter and a crook; if h.e is out
of politics yofi can’t ploaso him,
as he is undesirable citizen; if hie
goes to church he is hypocrit; if
he stays away he is a sinner and
damned; if he donates to foreign
missions he does it for show; if
he does not he is stingy.
When he first comes into this
world everybody wants to kiss
him—before ha goes out they all
want to kick mm. If he dies
young there was a great future
before him; if he lives to a ripe
old age he is simply in the way
and is only living to save funeral
expenses. Life is a funny road,
but we all like to travel it just
the same.—Ex.

Points Regarding the Census.
Pecans.
I have arranged with Mr. Geor-
ge the popcorn man, to handle
my choice paper shell pecans at
eating prices. These pecans are
fresh and sweet as when taken
from the trees. H. X. Halbert.
Just received 300 bushels o
Big German millet seed. — J. M
Crawford. 2tw
The census begins April 15th,
and must be completed in two
weeks in cities and in thirty days
in all other areas.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed “United States
Census, 1910.”
The law requires every adult
person to furnish the prescribed
information, but also provides
that it shall he treated confiden
tially, so that no injury can come
to any person from answering
the questions.
The president lias issued a pro
damation, calling on all citizens
to cooperate with the Census and
assuring than that it has noth-
ing to do with taxation, army or
jury service, compulsory school
attendance, regulation of immi-
gration, Or enforcement of any
law, and that no one can he in-
jured by answering the inquir-
ies.
It is of the utmost importance
that the census of population and
agriculture in this state he com-
plete and correct.
Therefore every person should
promptly accurately, and com-
pletely answer the Census ques-
tions asked by the enumerators.

Fifty Patients are Now at State
Pasteur Institute at Austin
Several Bitten by Homs.
a;JL
Austin, Tex., April 7.—There
are fifty patients at the State
pasteilr institute taking the treat-
ment to defeat possible hydro-
phoia. Last week there were
fifty-five patients in the institute,
which made a new record. The
patients come from everywhere,
and-Recently it has been noticed
that qtfrt^a-fewTiave bMwhitten
by horses supposed to have the
rabies. This last is unusual for
the majority of those bitten were
victims of a mad dog, or a skunk
or a mad house cat, with some
few bitten by wolves. In the
cities Ifnd towns of Texas there
.are always .a number of. “ Man-
biting” horses tied to the posts
along the sidewalks, and these
equine cannibals ill owften take
nips out of pedestrians. as they
pass. Now that the victims at
the pasteur institute attribute
their afflieitons to the horses, peo
pie should take care and watch
equine cannibals will often take
ance anyway ,and often inflict a
very painful bite. It is apparent
that their bite may be very dan-
gerous.

ing 'so bad that he had to have
it removed, for which purpose he
was staying with the specialists
at Brownwood. Now word com-
es that lie has been taken down
with the fever and in his feeble
condition it is going to/ go very
hard with him. Air. Garrett is
well known over the county and
numhers his friends bj* his ac-
quaintances all of whom are very
enxious for his recovery.
