COME AS

The "Lone Star'' is waving-the star of the free; Then strike for Texas, if men you would be. No idlers are wanted, the thrifty and wise, To wealth and high station can equally rise. Where corn, oats and cotton; the richest of
 loam,
 Which yields to the settlers provisions and
 home. Trees of every description arise on each hand, From alluvial soil to the rich table land. Here springs are exhaustless and streams never
 dry,
 In the season from winter to autumn's bright
 sky,
 A wide panorama of prairie is seen; Of grass of all kinds perennially green. Here millions of cattle, sheep, horses and goats Grow fat as if stall fed or fatted on oats. No poverty is found in the mighty domain, To the man who exerts either finger or brain. Here are homes for the millions, the rich and
 the poor, While Texas opens wide her hospitable door. She has thousands of acres-yes, m1llions-to Yet can point without cost where pre-emptors Her terms will be easy with those whom she
 deals,
 While security, all in their title can feel. Buy land while 'tis cheap, and the finest select, Twill, young man, prove fortune when least
 you expect. Old man. tor your children, buy. file 1t away; A Godsend twill prove on some rainy day. For pamphlet fully descrl ping this wonder full country address Gaston Meslier, General Passenger and Ticket Agent Texas and Pacific Railway, Dallas, Texas.

shaped like fans and have some of the

Some of the most admired gowns for
bridesmaids, which will be worn ere long,
are of white satin, lined with pink glace
With these gowns will be seen rose pink

When Mrs. Astor's grandniece. Miss
Ethel klngsland, is married this week the
pathway to the altar will be strewn with
roses by two maids of honor, who will be
attlred IL true Marie Antoinette costumes,
and will wear the hats in vogue at that
period.
So many of the old South ern homes
have fallen into decay that it reads like q
page OF an old romance, the desert ption of
the wedding which took place about two
weeks ago at Buckland, the picturesque
and spacious manor of DR.. Richard G..
Smith of Gates County, North Carolina
In this old home is a historical Colonial
staircase. and as writer in Vanity says:
"a subject for superb picture was
formed when, to the strains of Men
delssohn's march, the beautiful bride de-
scended the famous Colonial staircase,
preceded by dainty little girl scattering g
flowers, while the old colored nanny,
who has been in the family forty years,
carried the long court train, her head
aloft with dignity and pride, increased by
the Joy of wearing a rich red silk turban.
1t was a typical Southern country we'd
ding, and Southern hospitality was dis
pensed generously and luxuriously"
Next autumn in New York series of
dances will be given called the Roger de

worthy of consideration.
Mrs. Hearst has been entertaining on a
large scale in Washington and has just

Nine. Nordica sang most charmingly, so
it is reported Mrs. Hearst has taken a
great fancy to the songstress and has in

in her private car, and it seems likely
Nine. Nordica will accept the invitation,
as she has mining property out West.

club bows are to be very wide and the
deepest of dark blue, the most vivid of

With a frock coat an Ascot or four-in-
hand tie in white is worn for receptions,
on other occasions any dark-colored tie
such as an Ascot puff, in some handsome
material, or four-in- hand.
A useful suit recently seen was of one of
the new checks in rough bubwn Scotch

brown Derby completed good ensemble
In Vogue occurs an excellent remark !:

not make any very lavish display. This is

So commonplace and familiar has
the lucifer match become IN this clos
ing decade of the nineteenth century,
that very little thought is bestowed
upon it's origin. Without imputing
ignorance to anyone or rejecting In

public, the Atlanta Constitution be.
lieves, it may safely be assumed that
scarcely one person i'll hundred pos
sesses any definite knowledge of this
important subject. 1t was not until
1927 that the first box of matches was
sold in England. Such, however, was
the universal need for something of
this kind that no sooner had the
match receive its introduction than its
success became instantly worldwide.
Some few people were disposed to re-
gard il with suspicion and to ascrlbe
it's origin to the evil spirit, but these
objections were speedily overcome.
For this wonderful invention, which
is none the less marvellous because of
its simplicity, the world is indebted to
John Walker, of England. A metallic
plate on the door of his shop is all
that remains to-day in the way OF
monument to his memory. In order
to rescue his name from oblivion 1t is
now proposed to erect handsome
shaft at some place in England, which
will bear fitting testimony OF the es-
TEEN in which his great invention is
held. In spite of its frail proper
tions the match has been source OF
infinite blessing to the human race.
1t has carried warmth and cheer into
countless homes, and has lighted the
gloomy ways of the world with lt'
ruddy lare. Surely the inventor OF
the match should have secure place
in the worlds remembrance.

The horseless carriage seems, to the
New York Dispatch, to be coming
along fast to join the bicycle and
drive the horse out of business. The
nu mber of horses driven out of work
by electric trolleys, etc., will be small
compared to the hauling of the coun-
try by the carriages without horses
There have been several successful
trials of the horseless carriages in the
last three months that are said to have
fully demonstrated their practicable
ity. The carriage and the bicycle
should compel good roads. The
National League for roads should en-
roll the l.. A. W. and other bikers and
the moter men in a great concerted
effort for good roads at once.

The pure food question is rapidly
coming to the front, notes the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. Public sentiment
against food adulteration Is stronger
than ever, and there is tendency to-
wards more effective legislation
against this evil. States where moth
ing has been done in this direction
will, many of them, make beginning
this winter by special legislation.
Other States, like New York, Penn
sylvsnia, Ohio, Connecticut, ETC.,
which have we'll established inspection
of food products, are disposed to
make that service still more effective.
There is strong sentiment against
this meanest of all frauds.

MAKING A MODERATE ONE
The New Dingley Tariff Bill NOW
l., D,ocass of COnSt ruCtiOD,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 15-The new
Dingley tariff bill, which is to be passed at
the extra session Of Congress, is already in
process of making indeed, it was outlined
at the conference between Chairman Nelson
Dingley Jr., and President-elect Mckinley
at Canton, and the work will be carried
steadily on by the republican members Of
the ways and means committee daily until
it is completed.
Chairman Dingley and the other republi-
can members of the committee will stay here
right through the two weeks Christmas
holiday recess, which the rest of the House
will take, and, by the time that is over, they
will have the bill completely planned and
partially finished, so that the hearings which
will follow will probably be confined to
those schedules which have not been closed
by that time.
The cotton and the metal schedules of the
present law will, for example, probably be
adopted, with no other material change
than the alteration of the ad valorem and
specific rates, and there will be no occasion
for giving hearings on them
