The weeping tree is situated
about one mile east of Howe, Texas,
in COW lot owned by Rube Har-
rold. Thisphenomenon commenced
three years ago, and it has been
actually raining under the tree in
cessantly ever since. In cloudy
weather there is always a heavy
mist falling from the tree, but in
hot, dry, sunshiny weather large
drops come down which would
soon wet ones clothing through
and through. The tree has always
been a profuse bearer of leaves until
this spring, when it did not put out
at all, and now has every appear
ance of being dead, although the
rain, or whatever you may please
to call it, continues to fall from
the branches.

Good G,ollnfr RnnlIa.

Right in the line of some remarks
made by this paper recently ON the
subject Of better roads in West yir-
ginia. the Wheeling Register says:
+ "West Virginia, in common with
most other States, has always been
a sufferer from bad roads. The
reason of this is that she has not had
sufficient money to build good ones,
although good roads are worth con-
siderable sacrifice. But we need not
despair, for, as time goes on, the
cost of road building, through the
aid of science, grows less.
aMr. J. F. Pope, of Texas, has
given the subject considerable study,
and some of his facts will attract at
.tention. According to Mr.. Pope, a
good road, eighteen feet wide, with
four feet margin on each side, can
be constructed for 81, 1904 mile. and
kept IN repair at an annual expense
of $3.50 mile. Such road should
be well drained and covered with
fine broken stone nine inches deep
in the center and four and a half
inches deep on the sides.
1t is estimated that these roads
would save their cost every ten
years and their interest every six
months.
"This is as interesting to West
Yirginians as it is to Texans. We
waste enough money and labor on
bad roads to make fair start to-
ward building goood ones, especially
when we take into consideration the
fact that the highways described by
Mr.. Pope probably could be con
structed in West Virginia for much
less money"

to be thankful for, and if women are
wise they will count their benefits:
They should be thankful that
bonnets are not as high as they
were.
That bustles and reeds are gone
and women can sit down comforta-

That it is fashionable to be clean
and wholesome.
That children in silk are supposed
to be products of the side streets
sensible mothers putting their little
folks in warm woolens.
That buttons are made to button.
That the woman who is the most

That the man who has pleasant
rather than unkind opinions of wo-
men is welcomed everywhere.
That the elderly man with man
ner is not laughed at, but respected.

ANationaI Gerry1nander.

1t is time to look facts in the face
and to call things by their right
names.
The agents of Plutocracy in con-
troll of the Republican party have
formed conspiracy to convert this
Federal Republic of free States into
a centralized despotism and to re-
tain control oft by unsurpation un-
der the forms of law.
The Republican party has lost the
confidence of the people and can no
longer hope for prolonged lease of.
power by the ordinary processes of
election. It was in a minority of
100, 900 in 1888, and the elections of
1889 have clearly indicated a popu-
lar revolt against its policy and
teachings even in States hitherto
Overwhelmingly Republican.
Those who control the party for
their selfish purposes, seeing it's ra-
pid loss of popular support, have
set about to devise means by which
it shall retain power permanently
without popular support.
Advancing step beyond even it's
former proposals of unsurpation the
mouthpiece of the conspirators, the
Tribune of New York, has boldly
proposed that "the Republicans in
Congress this winter" shall gerry
mander all the States in such fash
ion as will secure a permanent ma
jority of Republicans in Congress,
no matter how the people may vote.
The contention is that Congress
can take away from the State the
function they have always exercis-
ed of establishing Congressional dis
tricts, and it is proposed that "the
Republicans in congress" shall usurp
this power, lay out the districts, in
a way which shall "leaye the Dem
ocratic representation relatively
weak" and then by law forbid any
body to interfere with the nice little
arrangement for ten years to comel
That is the programme of the con-
spirators, whose organ insultingly
tells "the impoverished" that they
''have no stake in the welfare of the
country" and ought not 10 be per-
mitted to meddle with elections.
What do you think of it, you
wage-earning American citizens,
and how long will you in considera-
BILE numbers support with your
votes conspiracy which aims, in
the interests of arrogant wealth, to
overthrow popular liberty and con-
vert the Republic into government
by caste?-N. Y. World.

ChiIdren,s Beds.
Exchange

Exchange.
The practice of having the beds
made early in the morning almost
as soon as their occupants are up is
a very bad practice indeed. All
the exhaitations from the skin
during the night are shut in be-
meath the sheets, and are breathed
again when the little ones are once
more put to bed. Let the beds be
thoroughly aired each day. Do
not heap on great loads of comfor-
tables in the winter, as the weight
of them sometimes weakens the
sleepers. / mysel have gotten up
from my bed feeling sore in every
limb just from the weight of the
covers; yet i couldn't have done
without single one. If 1 had,
freezing would have been the
cost. Use blankets. Two light
wool blankets, though apparently
thin, contain more warmth than
three OF four heavy "comforts"
wadded with cotton batting.
