The Democratic landslide took

Hopkins counter is the home of El-
berta peaches, nbbon cane syrup, yel-
low yams, cotton and corn, and a
prosperous and happy people.
The fonr amendments to the state
constitution, to-wit: for home rule;
for a prison commission; for hoards
and for pensions carried by good
majorities.
Roosevelt and William H.

to the new-made president, Woodrow

The prohibition vote in Hopkins
county was light. In Dallas county
they voted less than 1,000. This
showed that many prohibitionists
sidetracked and jroted the Democratic
ticket.
SAYS GIRLS WEAR FOOLISH
CLOThTES.
Corvallis, Ore., Nov. 6.—“Girls wear
foolish clothes and for that reason
more frequenUy have spinal curva-
ture than men,” said Prof. Miriam
Thayer, director of physical training
for women at the Oregon Agricultural
College in the first of a series of
health talks before the young women
of the institution.
Miss Thayer explained to the girls
the sort of shoes they should buy for
winter y wear and why some styles
cause "flatfoot,” of which she has
found many cases in her examinations
of the physical condition of the stu-
dents under her care.
Tight belts and tight clothing ot all
sorts, especially corsets, were con-
demned as the great cause of much of
the spinal curvature which occurs for
more frequently among women than
among men.
In the last few days a number of
more or less serious cases of such
spinal trouble have been discovered
among the girl students, and special
treatments are beingprescribed in the
gymnasium to correct the difficulty.
In order to give the director more
complete information upon which to
base her prescription of exercises for
the individual girls, each one was giv-
en two cards to be filled out, one to
contain the personal and family his-
tory, the other a schedule of exer-
cises to be taken regularly.
GIRL STARTED FIRE.
f
Now, since the Democrats are driv-
ing the National band wagon, it is to
to hoped that President Wilson will
fallow the example of “Old Hickory,"
the hero of the Battle of New Or-
leans, and make up his household
with his own faith. To the victor
the iboilf.
Our sister town, Clarksville, has
grown tired of the liberality bf Mr.
Carnegie in providing for the educa-
tional uplift of their city, and have
■old his investment of their library.
This is a novel way of disposing of
one's bequest—we thought Uncle An-
dy had some strings on his advances.
The youth who was smoking a cig-
arette opposite the monkey’s ca(ge
look another from his pocket.
“Would it do any harm,” he asked,
“if I offered him one of these?”
“Not a bit,” responded the attend-
ant, "he wouldn’t touch it. A monkey
Jan’t half as big a fool as he looks.”—

The Honey Grove Signal is out in a
prophecy that r. M. Bralley, -State Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction,
will succeed O. B. Colquitt as governor
of Texas. What is the matter with
Will H. Mayes, Lieutenant -Governor.
Mr. Mayes made the run and stayed at
home; he is known all over Texas
as full weight and capable of any
trust Moreover the press of the state
i? behind the man from Brownwood.
The best is none too good for the
fanner. He produces this nation’s
wealth; he maintains our balance of
trade abroad; he makes it possible
for our country to take the initiative
in peace and good will. Why should
act the farmer enjoy the best this
country affords? He may when he
makes up his mind to have the best.
But those who are contented with
lesa will never have any more.—Farm
and Ranch.
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. &—Barbara
Gladys Arnold, an 18-year-old nufrse
girl, was arrested yesterday and
charged with having set fire last Fri-
day night to the Berlin Hotel, in
which three persons lost their lives.
Heir arrest followed the discovery
of a fire in the Windemore Hotel ear-
ly Tuesday. Her employer, Rev. N.
J. Adamson, had moved his family
and the girl to Windemere, after the
Berlin Hotel was destroyed.
The girl said, according to the po-
lice, that she fired the Berlin by scat-
tering paper through the halls of the
second and third floors, and igniting
them. •
The girl later made a written con-
fession, in which she said her name
was Baraba Gladys Arnold. She con-
fessed that she started a fire in the
Windemere by throwing a lighted
towel over the transom of her room.
The flames were extinguished by Mrs.
Williamson, whose husband later call-
ed the police.
RECORD PRICE FOR COTTON. „
Harry Page a Siganaw farmer top-
ped the cotton market in Tarrant
county Friday, selling a good middl-
ing bale of cotton to Jake Greines, a
North Fort Worth cotton buyer, for
11 5-8 cents.
This is the record price paid for
cotton in North Fort Worth. A good
cotton market has been built up on
the North Side this year, and the
North Si^e yard is getting lots of cot-
ton this season that has formerly
been marketed on the South Side.
This season the North Side yard has
received about 350 bales more than
had been received at this yard this
time last year.—North Fort Worth
Sunday News.
RATTLESNAKE 8TORY.
One night last week on his farm
neetr the old Sixshooter Ranch, A. M.
Chapier arose from his cot on the
porch to covef* up his child which
was sleeping on a bed on the floor.
When moving the cover he moved
it with a rattlesnake snugly curled
up on the quilt by the child. No
sooner had he discovered the danger
than he flung the cover from him,
grabbed the child and bore it to safe-
ty. The household was aroused, the
lantern hurriedly produced and the
snake, which had been sleeping in-
definitely on the same bed with the
little girl, made harmless. The rep-
tile was of considerable size with
seven rattles.—New Braunfels Her-
ald.
TREATMENT OF THE DUMB.
We are fully persuaded that our
sense of obligation to the dumb
brutes that serve us is poorly devel-
oped, and that we need to educate our
hearts and hands in this particular
line of duty even more than we need
to grapple with problems of science.
We would rather be able to alle-
viate the suffering of those who can-
not speak for themselves than to look
into the arched vault and call all the
constellations and all the minor
twinklers by name. Just a few hours
ago a man passed by driving a horse
to a wagon, and how the man did be-
labor the poor animal with a cutting
whip for no other cause than that the
animal had slightly slacked his pace—
and that horse is the principal bread-
winner of the family. Not two hours
ago we saw a man jerk a mule until
the bits badly cut the mule’s mouth.
The mule had worked hard all day
and the offense which called forth
the punishment was moving a few feet
in order to nibble a mouthful of grass.
Dozens of such instances of cruelty
come under every man’s notice every
week, yet few voices are raised in
protest. Can we really establish claim
to the proud cognomen of gentlemen
and gentlewomen, while we allow
mean, petty tempers to lead us to
gpeh barbarities? Kindness to dumb
brutes should be taught in the public
schools, it should be thundered from
the pulpits, and given especial atten-
tion by the press. And to these agen-
cies should be added the strong arms
of the law. The present administra-
tion has come nobly to the relief of
the persecuted convicts—let us hope
that the next will thunder a “thou
shalt not” to those who would abuse
man’s faithful servant, the beast of
burden.—Honey Grove Signal.
LADS HALTED ON ROAD TO FAME
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 6.—The stories
that have been coming down from
Warren and Venango counties re-
cently about "bears and other “var-
mints,” so stirred the imaginations of
John Miller and Anthony Bass^,
each aged 14 years, of West Home-
stead, that they determined to become
mighty hunters.
Accordingly they armed themselves
with two shotguns and a rifle and 100
rounds of ammunition, packed extra
clothes^nd shoes and hit the trail for
bear meat. They were run to earth
by Chief of Police M. Dean, who lo-
cated them under a railroad bridge
near Hayes Borough.
The fathers of the boys became sus-
picious of their sons’ actions and. ask-
ed the police to hunt them down. Be-
sides the supply of clothing and arms
the boys had $20.50 in their posses-
sion. They were waiting for night-
fall before going to Hayes Borough
and purchasing tickets for the bear
country.
The youths told the police that after
they had satisfied their desire for
bear meat they had planned to go To
Mexico and offer their services to
the insurrectos. The lads work in a
West Homestead mill and purchased
their outfits with'the wages they had
saved.
LYON GATHERS HOPE FROM THE
ELECTION.
Sherman, Tex., Nov. 6.—Col. Cecil
A. Lyon stated this morning that the
returns from yesterday’s election
clearly show that the country is not
Democratic. In every state except
these here on the gulf, which have
always gone Democratic, the follow-
ing of the Progressives and the Re-
publicans are the greater. He pre-
dicted that the Republicans would
take on the garb of Progressives,
throw off Taft and finally unite with
Roosevelt as a leader. The result
of such a union, Col. Lyon thinks,
would tend to make Wilson go back
to teaching school. ,
He was aBked if he had any addi-
tional knowledge of the campaign than
the press has, and he remarked that
his reports were about the same.
When asked if he entertained any
hope of a turn being made for Col.
Roosevelt he said, “Didn’t I tell you
yesterday that I thought Wilson
would be elected?”
Wilson’s Electoral vote 410.
New York, Nov. 6.—Overturning
big Republican majorities in states
never before captured by Democrats
in a presidential election, the Wilson
and Marshall ticket was swept into
office yesterday on the wave of vic-
tory that carried with it state offices,
congressional seats and* control of a
number of legislatures that will have
the chance to oust Republicans from
the United States senate and add to
the Democratic strength of that body.
Second only in interest to the ov-
erwhelming victory of Wilson and
Marshall was the strength shown by
Roosevelt in Illinois, Pennsylvania
and other states. Today’s returns in-
dicate that Wilson will have 410 of
the 531 votes in the electoral college
and that Roosevelt would have more
than 100. President Taft has receiv-
ed 12 votes—those of Idaho, Vermont
and Utah.
GIVE THY BEST.
Give, give thy best, if thou would’st
win success
And make thy life what God would
have it be; xj
The best of all thou hast, and nothing
less,
Is what the world in justice asks of
thee.
Give and the world will give thee back
again
Rich gifts in measure running o’er,
That brighten life and clear the heart
of man,
And fill the soul with pleasures ev-
ermore.
Give toil, give earnest toil wthout re-
serve,
And soon the toiler finds a rich
reward,
For nature loves a man of iron nerve,
And ever holds him in supreme re-
gard.
Throughout this world, look where we
may,
Rewards of toil are seen on every
hand;
This good old world is lavish with its
pay
For earnest labor f.nd the toil of
man.
Give thought, give earnest thought,
and thou wilt see
That nature true will multiply thy
gift
And then will bring the world to hon-
or thee,
While laggards all are sent adrift.
Give thought, give earnest thought,
nor let thy mind
Withhold one jot of what thou canst
bestow;
And for this free investment thou
shalt find
The world will open wide her rich-
est store.
In exchange for thy gifts of thought
and toil
The world will pour her treasures
at thy feet—
The best in thought and richest of the
soil,
And make thy mortal life with good
replete.
Gve love, in all thy giving give thou
love—
The best and richest boon to mor-
tals given,
A precious treasure from the realm
above j
• To make this lower world akin to
heaven.
(jttve love, the world will glve it back
j to thee, , -
JPWith merry smiles, and measure
. multiplied;
With ravish hand and open heart and
free,
The world will be thy friend what-
e’er betide. • '
Give, give, give thou the best of what
thou art;
Increase thy meager store by giv-
ing all;
Give toil and thought and treasures
of the heart, ,
Anfi thou shall stand Becure what-
e’er befall. *
F. A. Lockhart.
Pittsburg, Texas, Oct 12, 1912.
PEOPLE DIE TOO YOUNG.
What is in sight in the way of pro-
longation of life? Is there any hope
to be offered to man of greater free-
dom from disease and longer life?
I answer unhesitatingly in the affirm-
ative. Why should we be content
with an average life of forty-four
years? There is historical. evidence
to show that man’s greatest activities
that the age between rixty and seven-
ty is more productive for one who has
lived in accordance with nature.
It is shown from statistics that we
die sixteen years before we reach the
maximum usefulness of man. I would
like to see more old age. I would like
to see more men and women with
gray hair and wrinkled faces than I
see today.
We have room in ths country for
millions more of people. We welcome
the Infant and the child, but let us
keep the man and the woman. There
is room for all.-—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley.
North Texas seems to be undergo-
ing regular old Pharaoh, Egyptian
plague siege. Not long ago the flies
were so bad that the farmers h^d to
work at night in order to avoid them
and now the fleas have appeared In
such vast numbers that barns and
feeding places have been abandoned,
horses and cattle refusing to eat in
them because of the torture inflicted
by the little pests.—Houston Chron-
icle.
We are at the present time under-
going a norther that has driven the
above pests down towards Houston,
where we are mean enough to hope
they will stay. The farmers are pre-
paring to eat rib roasts and sausage
and ride in their autos during fine
weather. There are no flies on North
Texas just now.—Bonham News.

FOUND RING IN WATERMELOb
A group of friends were tellinj
stories at a reception the other evei
ing, when one of the guests relate
the following incident:
"“I was in Georgia, near Barnet
ville Springs,” he said, “and to me
watermelon field in full bloom is on
of the prettiest things I ever saw.
went out into the field and picke
some of the blossoms. When I rc
turned to the house a ring that wa
highly prized, but'a little loose on m;
finger, was gone. We searched ev
erywhere, but could not find it. Las
summer I bought a watermelon a
the Center Market, and when I cu
it the knife struck something han
at the end of the melon. Investiga
tion revealed that it was my los
ring. It had dropped in the cente
of a bloom and the melon had forma
around it.”
