A PITIFUL APPEAL.
Too Much for Manager Hughes of
the Western Union Telegraph
Company to Refuse

This morning, a middle aged wo-
man stepped into the Western Union
Telegraph Office and passed Mr..
Hughes a slip of paper on which
was written:
"Will you send telegram to
Bonham, Texas, for me? am out
of money and choking TO death
with a cancer in my throat. In
Gods name help me-.
Manager Hughes wrote back "all
right" and nodded his head in ac-
quiescence, and the message was
written and sent. The lady signed
her name Kate Shears, and the
message was addressed TO Rev. j..
R. Wagon.
She tried hard to talk but only a
gurgling sound came from her
throat, and she looked the picture
of despair out of pair of eyes
which showed anything but resig-
nation to her fate.

ANOTHER PRIMARY.

Chairman G. o. James, of Sulphur
Springs Texas, has issued his edict
as to the method in which to choose
a congressional candidate to succeed
D. B. Culberson. The call carries
with it the order for all counties in
the district to hold primary cleo
tions and the candidate receiving
the plurality vote Of the district
will be the nominee of the party.
This is we think the falrest way
the matter can be settled and we
hope the primaries will be conduit

owned by the young mans mother is
151, 900 acres. She has refused an Of
fer of half n million dollars for her
possessions. 1t is believed the archi-
pelago is now paying large income
on $4,000, 900.
The life of this young mans mother,
the Queen of these distant islands, is
one OF the wonders of tho South Seas.
She IS the new woman of the South
Pacihc-the one person OF her sex in
that part of the world who has proved
herself the possessor of great business

managing the entire property, which
consists, besides the groups of islands,

years ago. He became American
Consul and married native Samoan
woman, a lovely girl, made all the
more lovely by the fac. that an aimix.
ture with white blood had made her

union was the birth of tho girl who
has now grown up TO be everywhere
recognized rs the most progressive ant
most interesting of island queens.
This daughter of the American Consul
married Captain Farrell, who mad
early made investments in tho Bis

death she assumed the management of
the property, and has had il ever
since, and SO full of tact has been her
rule that her possessions constantly
grew and are still growing, us every
little while she buys another island.
By her second marriage she became
Mrs. Forsyth, and the boy was born,
who is now twenty.three years old,
and just completing his first trip
around the world, After the death OF
Forsyth the Queen married Paul

The Problem in Launching a ship

Impressive as the launch OF great
vessel always is, 1t nevertheless seems
n simple matter. All there is to do is
to build two toboggan slides under
the ship, raise her from the supporps
on which she has been resting, put II
lot OF tallow on the slides. and, when
you are ready, saw loose the thick
plank that holds the ship by the nose.
and let her glide into the water. You
must have the wne to christen her,
and crowd to cheer her, and some
tugs to catch her aud bring her back
to her pier; but all these are mere de-
tails, and it would seem rs ii any ship
could almost launch herself il she had
half chance.
\ launch is simply taking n ship
from the side of stream down to tho
bank, and dropping her in the water
where she belongs. This involves the
task OF lifting n mass of iron, in ship
lik5 the St. Louis, of about seven
thousand tons, aud the work OF lower.
ing it carefully for n distance Of from
twenty TO forty feet. All this has to
be done in the space OF about thirty
seconds, during winch the vessel
moves nearly 800 feet. At once you
can see that this is au enormous task.
1t involves the greatest responsibility
in short tine that the shlpbullder
meets. There is no opportunity to
correct errors. Every mechanical
appliance must work to perfection,
and the manual details must be as
nicely adjusted as the parts of watch.
on can launch n vessel as you eau
build one, on the rule OF thumb CT
the hit-or-miss plan. and you may not
come to grief; but it is best TO put ali
these things IN charge OF that master
spirit called Science, which mas done
SO much for orr physical advance
ment In this world, for then you know
that 1t will be done properly. 81
