Editor of the Gazette.
SIR-Seeing that our county papers
are misrepresenting the sentiment of
the country folks on the free-grass
question. and that the question was
not made an issue in our primary
election on the 10th, we take this
method of telling all concerned now
how we stand. We propose to stand
by our white brethren Of Western
Texas. We wish the grass to be free
to all except temporary herds in
Eastern TeXas, where the range Is too
scarce for the people already.
We are very anxious for the plat
form at the head of this list to go be-
fore the people-nine out of every ten
farmers will vote for IL.
We live on the line OF Lamar and
Red River counties. Precinct Seven
of Lamar county and Deeport. Lamar
county, and Halesboro, Red River
county, are our post-offioes. We
believe the publication of this list will
have Il good effect in these two
counties.
The Standard of GAINESVILLE SAYS 1t
does not know six men l., Red River
in favor of free grass. We will send
1t "a copy of this, but dare say ID Won't
publish without pay, and 1t won't get
that, certain.
We will add that Mt least half of
these names are those of land owners,
some very prominent.
We are Democrats, every one; we
did not allow any Radicals or negroes
to sign. Like The GAZETTE, we have
enlisted for ninety-nine years or the
war. on this free-grass question.
With the greatest respect for and
confidence in the Fort Worth esA-
zETrE, we remain its firm friends.

Unity in Marriage.

Not only seIf-respect, but respect ior
the individuality of the husband and
wife, is at the basis of true happiness in
marriage, the acknowledgement of the
right to that freedom of the one individ-
nal which does not affect injuriously the
freedom of the other; regard for iden-
tity and idiosyncrasy, and study and
understanding of such idiosyncrasy,
must be implied in this mutual respect,
and unity in all things must follow, OF
course, where it can be had; and where
such unity cannot be had, then forbear-
ance on either side must take its place.
With this mutual respect and regard for
the rights of one another comes the
principle of unselfshness and unselfsh-
ness, we maintain, will make marriage
an utterly happy thing under almost
any conceivable condition, if thoroughly
practiced by both parties. The trouble
is that it is usuaSly only one of the par
ties that is called upon to exercise this
virtue, and when the habit of the exact
ing side is formed, the exactions are apt
to grow beyond the endurance of the
one that has to meet them-the cord is
stretched sometimes till it snaps

sewing. Also 1 went pass through the

write very fast, and read, and was glad.
Now, this is the thing what we send you
here for, to learn white mems way.
There is two roads, one is good and one
is what we call devil road. Another
thing is, you know, if who do nothing,
Just put his hand on his back and lie

pocket itself, so you must do something
with your hands. Now you must not
home-sick any; but you must try to be
good and happier. ."-St. Nicholas for

The Dishonest Partner.

One of the most frequent and deplor-
able agents of sudden ruin is the dis
honest partner. No business can be
managed without mutual confidence be-
tween those who conduct it; and though.
when we hear that commercial man
has brought himself within reach of the
law, we are inclined to doubt if his part
ner can have been unaware of his NAL
practices, yet it must be obvious that
the dishonesty of one partner too often
arises from the unsuspicious simplicity
of the other. There are even instances
in which no amount of sagacity will
save man from the enterprises of
roguish partner. The following is
very common case: A and B being
partners, A dies, and his son succeeds to
his share of the business. So long as
A was alive the speculative tendencies
of B were kept in check; but young A
has not the same experience as his
father; he has learned to respect B; he
looks to him for guidance; and if B has
uldN6 up W CAlChu lHC
of the firm by new methods, now that
he is head partner, the junior partner
will generally be a mere tool in his
hands. If young A be more fond of
pleasure than business he will of course
be even less than tool-a mere cipher,
and B will be left TO manage matters as
he pleases, until he succeeds in his
schemes, and proposes to buy A out of
the business; or fails and brings A to
poverty and disgrace. 1t is cruel
thing that if B has absconded, A will
have to bear the entire brunt of credit
ors' wrath. and perhaps be criminally
punished for his innocence. But part
ners have learned this lesson SO often
that it is almost wonder how any sane
man can assume responsibilities without
ascertaining the nature and extent of
them. 1t is certainly not for the public
interest that the sudden ruin of an hon.
est partner should be pleaded in exten-
uation for his ignorance.-U Utamber8's

WHEN BESSIE DIED.

['R from your own the dimpled hands had

And ne'er would nestle in your palm again;
If the white feet into the grave had tripped-"
When Bessie died
We braided the brown hair, and tied
1t Just as her own little hands
Had fastened back the silken strands
A thousand times-the crimson bit
OF ribbon woven into it
That she had worn with childish pride
Smoothed down the dainty brow; and cried,

We drew the nursery blinds aside,
And, as the morning in the room
Burst like primrose into bloom,
Her pet canary's cage NE hung
Where she might hear him when he sung
And yet not any note he tried.
Though she lay listening folded-eyed!
When Bessie died
We writhed in prayer unsatisfed;
We begged Of God, and He did smile
In silence ON US all the while;

Enfolding that fair form of hers,

The kisses we had nothing of,
And death to us He still denied

Admits His Guilt.

A dispatch from Salem, N. j., says
Howard Sullivan, who has been in jail
there for nearly month, charged with
the murder of Ella Watson, sent for the
sheriff and made full confession of his
guilt. The sheriff told him that any
confession he might make would be
used against him in court, but he re-
piled that he did not care. He said he
killed the girl to get the money which
she had, so that he could go on an ex-
cursion to Atlantic City, but he denied
the charge of outrage which had been
added to the crime of killing the girl.
Sullivan says he came up behind her
and killed her with a club before she
knew of his presence.

ACROSS THE ISTHMUS.
How 1t Is Proposed to Take the Great
Ship over Land.


The great problem of the proposed
ship railway across the Tehuantepec was
the raising of the ship from the water
The question of transporting it across
the country was not SO difficult, as it
was well known fact that three modern
railway engines could easily haul the
the largest vessel extant over the Union
Pacific Railway. But the removal of
ship from water has always produced
more or less damage. Several years
since some one conceived the idea of ex-
hibiting monster right whale over the
country. One was consequently cap
tured, killed and dragged into the harDor.
Some bright mind devised pontoon to
raise the animal from the water to car
and then the problem of transportation
was easy. take it that some London
engineers got an invention of the Yam
they suggested to Eads the advisability
of raising his ships from the water by
pontoons, and the idea notes great ad-
vance in modern ship handling and
building. have the technical explana-
ton and sketch of the $12, 900 model of
this wonderful pontoon, but the Yankee
showman's elevation of the whale forms
simpler means to account for the same
thing.
The whale was floated into drydock
over a frame chained down to the
bottom. Then the water was slowly
drawn off until the animal was lowered
and exactly fitted into the frame. The
chains were loosened, the water let in
and the frame and whale rose to the
level of the dock, where the derricks
soon hoisted it without damage to the
flat car. Now the Eads pontoon is
repetition of the same thing minus the
derrick. In its place substitute the end
of the railway. The frame on Top of
the pontoon is really great car, which
runs off the pontoon on to the railway
with the ship perfectly upheld, just as
any railway car runs from the transfer
ship of the Detroit River on to the rail-
way. What does it matter whether the
ship is five tons or five thousand? Hun
dreds of car wheels, rolling on a half
dozen tracks, easily bear the ship away
upheld on its carriage by complete
system of truss-bracing, supported by
heavy steel springs which give it an
easy, dreamy motion, if you please,
with not SO much damage as the pound
ing of single great wave of the ocean.

continued, as he put on his coat and

dead darling the most honored place In
my own home. The place would have
been yours had our Carlos lived, and it
is none the less yours now that he can
never more be with us. Dear Mrs,
Filmer entreat me not to leave you."
All unconscious, sweet Ruth was
heaping Goals of fire upon the stricken
head of the enemy. Mrs. Filmer made
no response. She sat with her. face
averted and the slow tears falling down
her cheeks. Even in the poignancy of
her distress she vaguely wondered how
she could have blundered so unaccount-
ably, or how such an enviable possess
sion as riches could have been so
strangely concealed and undervalued by
any sane or intelligent young lady. Still
her obdurate and ambitious heart had
been softened and humbled by the SYM
pathy and generosity of the amiable
girl.

two who loved him.
"You have been needlessly alarmed"
he said, with an attempt of the careless
and cheery. ST have come back to you
rather bruised and battered, but I am
safe, nevertheless, as you will observe" ~"
And while Ruth clung to him with
happy tears and shy caresses, Mrs. Fill
mer regarded them with a digni6ed ap-
proval that was rather puzzling to the
young man. He had yet to learn that
the ''mere nobody" had been trans
formed to a person of consequence in
the sight of his naughty mother.
''She is a superior girl of good
family, and she is surprisingly rich,"
the mother said afterward. "But I
shall never understand why she allowed
us all to believe her moneyless."
81 never had any liking for display"
sweet Ruth once said to her husband;
''and abhor the sycophancy and insin-
cerity that surround the rich. Ienjoyed
best an independent quietude in a
where no one was aware
of my wealth."
''You certainly have the satisfaction of
knowing that you were loved for your
own sweet SELF" her husband answered
with happy laugh.

them ready for market when the price
is lowest" He elaborates his idea as
follows in The Farm Journal;
"It will always pay to begin to fatten
animals in warm weather; they will gain
almost as fast again. This has. been
demonstrated great many times, and it
means all the difference between loss
and gain. know it. Any farmer can
better afford to pay the interest on
money aud buy feed to push his animals
ahead in warm weather than wait till
his corn crop is available. There is
another important fact which is part
Of the science of it; in warm weather
there is plenty of grass, or other succu-
lent food to go with the grain and SO
promote digestion and health. ALI such
meat is better as well as cheaper. A
hog which has nothing but corn to eat
does not make such good pork ae one
which has grass and other foods with
their corn. Grass is the best of all
foods to make flesh, or milk, or good
butter"
Mr.. A. B. Allen, another authority on
all such matters, urges, in letter to
The National Live Stock Journal, be-
ginning to feed corn as soon as it reaches
the milk state, being then highly SER
viceable in fastening the fattening of
steers at pasture. Mr.. A. s. Fuller
adds to the weight of his opinion to the
same effect:
sit has been claimed, and we think
with good reason, that an acre of corn
in this condition will make 20 per cent.
more beef than when fully ripe. Tt is
also better to feed to young and growing
pigs than ripe corn, as it is all digested,
as may be seen by an examination of
droppings of animals fed upon it.
Farmers who have plenty, of corn can
not do better than to begin feeding it
while it is in succulent state"

of the most gigantic of its day, and was

by draining off the water, which would
otherwise have to be pumped out, at a

ventilation. Better facilities are offered

Trades Unions.

The first we hear of trades unions in
America was in 1906, when a trial Of
eight persons was held on the charge
of combining to increase wages, to
keep Others from working, aud to es-
tablish arbitrary rules over working
men," A combination of this sort
had been practiced for some years pre-
viously, and some remarkable cases of
the pursuit of those who had not joined
