The baby-kissing tour
will
start in dead earnest on January
1—when the candidates come
from out of their winter hiding
places.—McKinney Courier-Ga-
zette.
The man who makes his living
in Corpus Christi and yet never
misses an opportunity to knock
the town, is an “undesirable citi-
zen” as T. R. would say.—Cor-
pus Christi Herald.
There are about one thousand
less inmates in the Texas peni-
tentiaries now than there were
ten years ago. ThisJ looks like
Texas is getting better.—Tyler
Courier-Times.
On account of the scarcity of
seed, and more especially the
disasters of the last few years,
the acreage of wheat is not large
in this section, but the farmers
procuring the wheat and risking
the sowing are jubilant over the
prospects.—Plano Star-Courier.
It is a fact capable of mathe-
matical demonstration that the
single state of Texas, if all its re-
sources were organized for the
production of food, would pro-
duce enough to feed the whole
present population of the globe,
and feed them well.—Amarillo
Panhandle.
Texas was admitted into ‘the
Union in 1845, nearly ten years
after she declared her independ-
ence. Today, over a half a cent-
ury later, she is practically un-
developed and her resources are
unlimited. Come to Texas, where
you can eat vegetables out of
our own grrden the year around.

The great number of accident- j
al shootings, in which men and J
boys lose their lives, or are for- I
ever maimed while out endeav-
oring to kill birds, ought to in-
duce parents to teach their chil-
dren not to go ..shooting. Bird
slaughter is a cultivated pas-
time, for little children do not
naturally delight in bloodshed.—
Brownwood Bulletin.
Confidence Almost Beyond Belief.
To illustrate the simplicity and
honesty of some of our old-time
German citizens, a well-known
notary public relates the follow-
ing: Some land papers had been
fixed up, and one of the neigh-
bors had signed a $1,000 note for
half the purchase price of the
land. The question then arose
between the two neighbors as to
which should hold the note. The
man who signed the note said:
“Veil, you lets me keep it so I
know ven to pay you,” and this
seemed perfectly satisfactory to
the other, and it is needless to
say the note was paid when due.
—-^Devine News.
Isn’t it beautiful? Such inno-
cence, such faith and trust are
almost too rare to be believed in.
We often hear the old-timers say
that in other and better days
neighboJS lent to and borrowed
from one another without the
formality of written contracts or
other security than their pledged
words. But jit is not so now;
business is business today, and
there is no softer name for it up-
on the popular tongue. But pos-
sibly*the change is not as bad a
recommendation for modernity as
it looks like. It is suspected that
many free lenders of ye olde
time got stung.—Dallas News.
Captain Acker, whq has been
spending some months on the
coast of Texas, is here for a few
days. He appears to be in better
health than usual. Mrs. Acker
is with him.
Rev. T. F. Sessions has gone
to Temple to assist the pastor
there in holding a meeting. Rev.
Jerome Haralson will occupy the
pulpit at the local Methodist
church next Sunday.

ments known as Eastside Park
will be sold to the highest bidder

sales will also be made, all of
them being under orders from
the district court.

The town people wishing to

Will Mine Gold Near Llano.
Llano, Tex., Dec. 5.—McCarty
Moore of Dallas, head of a mining
company which owns the Heath
gold mining property five miles
east of Llano, arrived this
week. The company has had a
mining engineer here for three
months, and has now decided to
put in a 50-ton plant for reducing
the ore, as well as considerable
A man in France a few days machinery of various kinds,

He was thirty-five miles away, interested in mining enterprises,

RACE WAGERS IN INDIA
Native’s Distinctly Novel Method of
Choosing a Winner and
Making Bets.
The native of India wagers his
money according to the colors worn
by the jockeys and takes no heed of
the merits of the horses, or he will
back a horse ridden by his favorite
jockey, no matter whether the ani
mal is a rank outsider or not.
His ideas of gambling, in fact,
are distinctly novel. Some of the
more wealthy Indians form rings
and back every horse in the race,
thus gaining the satisfaction of get-
ting a winner every time. It is
really only of late years that the na-
tive of'’India has become an habitual
gambler on the turf, and nowadays
the bulk of the betting of the vari-
ous racing centers in India is done
by natives. Indeed, the authorities
are becoming somewhat concerned
about the growth of the betting
which takes place among Indian na-
tives, it being asserted that as many
as 30 lacs of rupees (about £300,-
000) is lost and won in the course of
a season.
The ignorant masses have not a
great deal of actual money to wager,
but so badly bitten are many of them
with the craze for betting at race
meetings that they frequently wager
what little property they possess on
; a horse, and if they lose they simply
replace their loss by stealing a
neighbor’s goods. The consequence
is that when the racing season conies
around the police are kept very busy
dealing with cases of petty larceny
and other crimes involving loss of
property.
