of the publishers.
DOWN IN MEXICO.
Mexican presidential candidates do their run-
ning after they are elected.—Toledo Blade.
NEWSPAPER MEN 10 MEET
IN GREENVILLE IN JANUARY
The largest number of empty buildings in
its history; the heaviest floating debt in the
state; the biggest tax hills in the state, and
a wharf less deep water channel. These are
the Christmas gifts Houston found in its
stocking, along with a bundle of Pastorfea tax
system literature.—Houston Telegram.
Judging from the Telegram editor’s remarks,
old Santa Claus “most nigh” ruined his town.
“REMEMBER ME.’
It would be fine if the folks who write sug-
gestions for good dinners would quit giving
advice to plutocrats who have beef, and de-
vote some attention to the plain people. We
want to know how to make dainty dishes from
brown beans and evaporated apples.—Claude
Cullan, in Ft. Worth Star-Telegram.
Use plenty of pure water and we will guaran-
tee a full stomach after each meal made of evap-
orated apples.
There are not two other words in the English
language that call back a more frightful train of
past remembrances than these: “Remember Me.”
Look through your library and when you cast
your eyes upon a volume that contains the name
of an old companion, it will say, “Remember Me.”
Have you an ancient album, the repository of
the mementoes of early affection? If so, turn over
its leaves, stained by the finger of time; sit down
and ponder over the names enrolled upon them.
Each one says, “Remember Me.”
(!o into the crowded cemetery among the mar-
ble tombs, read the simple and brief inscriptions
that perpetuate the memory of departed ones, and
each one seems to speak, saying, “Remember Me.”
And this is all that is left at last of the wide
circle of our early friends. Scattered by fortune,
or called away by death, or thrown without our
band by the changes of circumstances, or of char-
acter. in Lime we find ourselves left alone with
the recollection of what they were.
How many remember their first Santa
Claus? Ours was a handful of raisins, three
little sticks of striped candy and an orange.
It seems insignificant now, but then it was
greater than a golden argosy.—Bryan Eagle.
Our first Santa Claus experience was about
the same as that of the editor of the Eagle, and
we made more noise over the little gifts thun we
would now make over the g seven passen-
ger automobile.
Which was yours, a Christmas present or
a Christmas “package” ?—Dallas Times-Her-
ald.
Ours was a well wrapped package delivered a
little ahead of time by an “M. I).” with instruc-
tions to remain indoors for at least six days nnd
have our wife to feed us seven different kinds of
dope” every thirty minutes until further instruc-
tions. Yes, we had a glorious Christmas. Glad
we are still living and able to he out once more.

Ex-Senator Bailey declares that he has not
yet fully made up his mind whether or not
he will enter the next campaign for the sen-
ate. Neither have we.—Waxahachie Light.
Should Senator Culberson announce for re-
election. it is tiie Favorite’s opinion that Mr. Bai
ley will not be in the running. Not from fear of
defeat by Senator Culberson, however, but from
the (act that there would be no necessity of his
making the race under those circumstances. If
Mr. Culberson does not run, there will be reasons
a plenty why Mr. Bailey should make the race.

The earnings of the average southern farm
er—the man who works between the plow
handles—is $150 per year, according to sta-
tistics gathered by the Rockefeller farm
Ismrd. In the south the main crop is cotton.
In the state of Iowa, where there is winter
weather about six months in the year, but
where no cotton is raised, the farmer earns
♦1.000 per year and more. And Iowa raises
little that Texas could not excel her in.—Siler*

The Texas farmer is learning. Another greet
and lading lesson was taught him this year in
reference to tin* “one crop” idea. The landlor<i-«|
have also to learn a few things by experience.
