What They Think.

The past year has been good one
for the farmer and the ranchman, and
while rejoicing in this fact, they are
jubilant over the prospect that is be-
fore them during the coming year,
but prospects are not always realized
and some are anxious about the future
because the danger ofruinous drought
Is before them. There is, however,
one class of men who rest satisfied in
the present, and who do not fear the
future. These are the farmers and
ranchmen who are provided with
water i'm apparently dry sections by
appliances furnished by the f. f.
Collins Manufacturing Company of
Houston street, San Antonio, Texas,
and who therefore thrive when others
fail. In conversation with LIGHT
reporter, a prominent merchant of
this city said: "The day is over when
the prudent ranchman and farmer
will be content with the uncertainty
of the water supply. They have dis
covered the important fact that SCI
ence, ever the handmade OF Nature,
can rectify apparent natural failure,
and they practically use this knew
ledge. AS result everything is pros
perIng better. OF course these appli-
ances cost money, but the return on
investment is good, and, If I could not
get another outfit I would not part
with the one that now use. 1 have
no sympathy with men who have the
means to avert the dangers of drought
and will not use them" What this
merchant-ranchman says is quite true
and is generally endorsed, but for
tunately the improvident men refer
red to are decreasing gradually, for
self preservation, the first law Of
Nature, makes them wise.

His ladies', misses and children's

thing ever offered in Texas and far
superior to most. The reputation of
these goods is we'll known to those
familiar with them and they will pur-
chase no other if they can get them.
They can get them at Wolfson's,
where special attention has been paid
to children's school shoes. For COM
fort and durability they surpass all
understanding.

DON'T SPOIL THAT HAT.

If you see your wife, sister, daugh-

a parasol or silk umbrella to keep the
rain from spelling the fine hat or bon
net they have just purchased at Wolf
sons, do not let them do it. Go to
Wolfson,,s yourself and buy one of his
Lyons silk umbrellas, the best in the
market, warranted not to split and
you will save that hat or bonn ct from
spelling. These silk umbrellas make
the incest kind of a Christmas present
and these parasols, same material,
are just as nice. Either one will do,
but buy one or the other, and save
the hat.

1t Was a Pretty Foot.

Gath" in Cincinnati Inquirer,
The funniest incident of my trip
was in a sleeping car. 1t wa 'in the
morning, when most of the passen-
gers had got out of their berths, and
only several sets of curtains were
drawn tightly in front of still slum-
berous persons. Suddenly a foot was
thrust out between two curtains.
1t was small, white and symmetri-
cal!-not more than feminine No. 3
and the merest bit of ankle looked
soft and fine. The men glanced at it
from the corners of their wicked eyes.
The women deprecated the exposure.
Then a bold, brazen fellow went right
straight to the pretty foot, grabbed
the ankle, and flung the whole men,
Der rudely into the berth.
"He wouldn't treat his bride so,"
said a woman close by. "It must be
his sister,"
Then the head of a ten-year-old ur-
chin emerged where the foot had
been, and q sleepy, angry, boyish
voice said: "Look here, Sam, you let
me alone. Next time you ketch hold
of my foot that way I'll kick the giz-
zard out of you"
There was a subsistence Of senti-
mental interest and a visibility of
mirth.
