bark to starboard, when, almost stimuli

the whale without delay, and the English

the prize, which, being loose, according

the prize Of whoever secured it.
1t was soon discovered that the English

farther from the game than the Nomad and
the Russian, which made htr chance about

What Shall Become Of Waco?

TO Business Men of Waco: Shall
we content ourselves with being
"way station agricultural town ?
We may holloa our threats hoarse
talking population" If by one
stroke of my pen coold add
10000 people 10 Waco, unless l
could assure some means Of support,
honestly | would not add the popula.
ton.
We need business for our business
men now in business. Why should
more newspapers begin in Waco
when the several we have are barely
ekng out a living9 A big popula-
ton is simply over production nnless
the means for a living comes with
that population. Look at Chicago
or any city or town. When Waco
gets railway shops, more factories,
gets more business, the population
will come.
How many people know of our
need and facilities for fac cries?
How many people know of our fer
tile lands? Thousands of dollars
are lost to Waco every year because
we do not spend little effort and
money inducing country trade and
inducing factories.
Let the men who own these brick
blocks and stores come to the front
and say what they. will do to help
the rent burdened merchants pay
their rents Let us demand that
our railroads do more for Waco
than simply furnish excursions
cheap rates to get out of Waco.
Let US offer our hands in a
friendly, business way to small fac
tories or large-to the people of the
smaller towns, to the farmers, to
visit Waco, to abide with us, trade
with US. Let us keep ourselves in
touch with the wide awake world.
Let Waco Com mercial Club open
a market exchange so that farmers
can plainly see the market value of
cotton, oats, corn, cotton seed. with
a book to register the names of
those who want to buy.
We need some ''home." A place
where parties can meet and learn the
value Of the article offered for
sale.
We need more business. We
believed then-we believe yet-the
free wagon yard would have added
1920, 900 to Waco's retail trade.
This movement was killed by the
mossback croakers, with nothing
suggested in its place, except an
unneeded bridge at the expense of
the many and for the benefit of the
few. Let us do something to in
duce better trade, make better bust
ness, and Waco will soon have all
the population she needs, or can
support.
Let Waco get down off her stills,
stop blowing about big excursions
and natural advantages. Get down
to every day meat and bread bust
ness. Talk less abb big "bridges
ard dust" and talk more about how
to pay our rents, our debts and feed
our wage earners and the hungry.
Respectfully,

NOVA SCOTIA WONEN.

A Nova Scotia correspondent of the
Woman's Journal gives some interesting
facts concerning the municipal suffrage
already possessed by Nova Scotia women.
1t was granted in 1887. She says
Single women and widows, having $3.50
income or $500 personality, may vote for
county councils, mayor. aldermen, etc.
They are, however, not eligible for Office,
nor can they sit on school boards or be
trustees. Married women have no rights,
not even as property holders and assessed
in their own names, unless their husbands
should chance not to possess any means
in fact, to I've paupers-in which case,
if they swear to this fact, married women
may vote for their husbands Gnstead Of
.hem). Thus far the municipal franchise
mas worked we'll in country towns and
districts and among certain wards in the
city. About two-thirds of our women
electors vote, and the list increases an
nually."

THE BIGNEsS OF SLEEVES.

The unobservant average man has at
last come to realizing sense Of the start
ling prevalence of big sleeves. 1t is
almost wornout topic to women; the
biggest Of their sleeves have been drap-
ing their arms for many months, and
they have arrived at the present enor-
nifty of rm-covering by subtle degrees
Of advancement. Two years ago sleeves
seemed ample in the reaction from the
smooth fitting fashions of old, but sleeves
Of gowns made two years ago bring a
pang of mingled sadness and amusement
when they appear nowadays before their
owners, whose arms have been hidden
away in the fulness of time by the adj
vancing seasons style. The unmarried
daughters of the Princess of Wales are
among the few women left in the world
who do not wear diversified sleeves.
These girls must be distinguished in
some way from other girls, and their
mother wisely manages to keep them
always good deal behind the fashions
and at present she makes a stand for
moderate sleeves for the Princesses.
Her own sleeves and those of the Duchess
of Fife are much larger this year than
last; and the most interpretive American

Monuments for the Boundary.

There have recently been received q
the Mexican border two carloads of
Government freight consisting of the
new line monuments and other neces-
saries for the work of definitely marking
the boundary line between the United
States and Mexico. On the old monu-
ments iron plates are to be affixed by
means of bolts, on which is inscribed in
raised letters: "Repaired by the Boun-
dairy Commission, created by the Urea
ties Of 1882-1SS9. The destruction or
displacement of this monument is mis-
demeanor punishable by the United
States or Mexico" The new monuments
are of iron, six feet high from base to
top of square, and six feet six inches
high from base to apex. The shafts are
tapering, being about twenty inches
square at the base and ten inches at the
top of square, the crown tapering to
point. On one side of the shaft in
raised letters is the following: ''Bound-
airy of the United States (under which
an American eagle appears), treaty of
1855, re- established by treaties 1S82-1889.
The destruction or displacement of this
monument is misdemeanor punishable
by the United States or Mexico" These
latter monuments will be bolted on to a
concrete base, two feet thick by three
feet square and placed about two miles
and four-tenths apart. The eastern Tor
Ell Pass end monuments are placed two
miles and six-tenths apart The camp
