Rothchilds to His Sons.
One day in September nearly a
hundred years ago, an old Jew
lay dying in a gabled house that
bore the device of a red shield in
the ghetto of Frankfort-on-the -
Main. Grouped by his bed were
five stalwart sons. In a firm voice
the father in Israel admonished
his children to be loyal to the
faith of Moses; to remain united
to the end; to intermarry and to
obey their mother in all things.
“Observe these rules,” he de-
clared, “and you will be rich
among the richest, and the world
will belong to you.”
Such was the earthly valedic-
tory of Mayer Amschel Roths-
child.
As everybody well knows, that
death-bed prophecy came true
long ago, and the world’s billion-
aire dynasty is evidence of its
wisdom and foresight. Premiers,
cabinets, whole royal successions
have arison^had their brief im-
perial day, and tottered to their
fall; kingdoms of trade have de-
veloped and declined; but the
reign of the Rothchilds has con-
tinued. Their scepter has been
gold; their royal decree the
bank-note.—Munsey’s Magazine.

The Tyler Courier-Times thinks
the county coummissioners have
done a wise thing in placing the
county convicts on the public
roads of Smith county. _“This
ought to have been done many
years ago,” says that paper,
“and we are sure it will meet
now the approval of a majority
of the people of Smith county.”
Why should it not? Is it not
much better to give the prison-
ers healthful exercise than to
keep them housed up in idle-
ness in the jail? And what bet-
ter employment could they have
than working on the public
roads?—San Antonjo Express.

J. H. Litton was showing some
fine corn from his Colorado farm
cultivated by his son, J. W. Lit-
ton. The ears are large, grain
well matured and well set on the |
cob. From the samples, the j
corn should yield about 50 bush-
els per acre, and he has near
40 acres of corn good as these
samples. One good shower fell
on this corn after the spring
rains, and surely it fell at the
opportune time.

Claude and Walter Moore, of
the Naruna settlement, were in
town Saturday. They belong to
the class of progressive farmers
who are becoming more numer-
ous each year in Texas, and who
have learned that the soil and
climate of Texas will produce
something more than cotton and
corn, and that there is a great
deal in cultivation.

Attack Like Tigers.
In fighting to keep the blood pure the
white corpuscles attack disease germs
like tigers. But often germs multiply
so fast the little fighters are overcome.
Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt-
rheum and sores multiply and strength
and appetite fail. This condition de-
mands Electric Bitters to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to ex-
pel poisons from the blood. “They are
the best blood purifier,” writes C. T.
Budahn, of Tracy, Calif., “4 have ever
found.” They make rich, red blood,
strong nerves and build up your health.
Try them. 50c at all drugstores.

cows at his “Oak Ridge Jersey
Farm” just east of town. The
Leader is pleased to note every

ing and~~ farming to which this
country is well adapted.
