QUESTION OF LUCK.

4 Citation That Clinched the Other Side
 of tho Argument.
 T hate to hear people say there no such thing as luck, , remarked the mel aneholy Mf. Dolittle.
 T don't see why, his wife rejoined.
 Because it ism true, he returned with asperity. "A man can go on try ing and trying and never get along, and some other person will go ahead and tumble into good things without making any effort whatever. D
 Hiram, no great man has succeeded without hard work. J
 That's the kind of talk you always hear But nine times out of ten it is all owing to the opportunity that presented itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait to kidnap some men. Look at Sir Isaac Newton. His name is handed down from generation to generation. And why? Simply because ho was sitting under q tree, and all apple happened Q drop on him. You can't pretend that a man is in position to claim superior plerit simply because, through no ac- tion or preference of his own, he gets hit in the head with an apple, can you?"
 "No, Hiram. ''
 Then don tell me about there not being any such thing as luck.
 It seems to me that you 've chosen a poor example in support of your argu ment. The case of Isaac Newton goes to show that the difference is ill the people. If it had been some men that [ know of instead of Newton, the first thing they would have done after the apple fell would have been to go into the house and moan for tho arnica bot tie; then they would have spent two CT three hours of precious time talliI , about their bad luck '-W Washingto ] Star

 Thirty thousand elk are wintering iD the Jackson 5 Holo country of Wyoming, according to the estimate of the game warden, who says that in one herd which be saw the other morning there were 15, 900 of them, stretching over a distance of six miles. The sight, he said surpassed anything he had ever seen and utterly amazed him. The elk trail over tho snow was like fiintiee, he said, so hard had the snow been packed down The animals are seen by thousands any morning moving along the Snake rivei from the Great swamp to the Gros Ven tro hills, and at night tho walls of the calves ssraying from their mothers may be heard.

eARlsH BOOK BINDINGS.
They Are In Haa Taste and Are Disiiked
 by BooIswnrrn and Scholar.


 Books have | right to he, first of all, books, not purveyors of whimsies in color and design As matters arc at this moment thfee-qaartefs of the new books look more like some strange en. tree at feast than like everyday edi- bles. You take up one, and 1t has tho air Of q curious ragout; there are un- known fragments Of design floating III 2 sapee ef queer elemental color. Tie next one has an air as honest IS apple sauce at first glance; 'tis 6 pale greenish thing, but presently you see that the trail of a serpent is over all it's border And who can hope for content from dish thus gafnished2
 Again q book, and this one burns bright red and yellow, like a pudding on fire with eognao, which is all very we'll for a pudding. Another has cover which looks like resisting beefsteak pounded by the stern hand of fate in a boarding house; another reminds you irresistibly of coffee wherein chickory has too much inserted it's diluting aid and cream is missing But, first and last, the new books are ever more prone to resemble small plots of deceptive stage yerdure than honest simple souled books. It is impossible to holp doubt ing the value of the literary pasturage to be found ill such inclosures. Fortu- nately ono is sometimes most ioyously deceived Authors have little say concerning the garb of their volumes, and often-good luck to them-they rise superior to the mechanical makers of books and rejoice the souls of their readers in spite of the bindings.
 And it must be repeated that in tho present bizarre and excessive fancies iu binding thele is seed of abounding hope for the future. Publishers are groping for something; few of them know what. But they will learn, and the world will be made glad by a genuine revival in the lovely old half forgotten craft of bookbinding, in that happy coming day there will be great honor for the men who lead the taste of this country to. ward better things in boezbinding, sim. pier and saner and more sincere. -Bos. ton Transcript.

BRENNAN ROUND HOUSE.
A FREIGHT TERMINAL AT LAST
SECURED.
EayasOta Machine Shops are Coming Our
Way and we are in the Line of
Promotion for the Terminal
of the "African Pacific"

What mass meetings, tele-
grams, free land and water and
other overtures to Col. Polk
could not secure quarantine has
accomplished. Brennan has got
freight terminal, machine
shops and a foundation for a
round house, and don't you for
get it.
Owing to hostile quarantine
regulations subjeeting the crews
and passengers to troublesome
delays and other inconvenience
the shop men at Navasota under
Foreman R. J. Miller have been
transferred to this place.
The men and their tools ar
rived on the evening train which
came through on its new sched-
ule direct from Springer, reach
ing Brennan at half-past five
o'clock.
The trainmen say that while
the measure was made necessary
by Navasota's quarantine they
have little doubt that the change
will be made permanent, as it
will be much more convenient to
operate trains direct from Bren-
ham to Springer than under the
old regime of operating both
ways from Navasota.

A Sample.

The Houston Post of Saturday
confined the following item in its
railroad news:
The Santa Fe, Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas and International
have been bothered less than any
roads, and as near as can be
learned, Brennan is the only
place on the Santa Fe that will
not permit trains to stop.
If the graphic reporter who
wrote that item from the Houston
end of the line could see the
number of trains that stop here
every day and every night he
would conclude that somebody
had lied.

The crew of the alligator linn

urday night and tied up for ten
days, or until these senseless
quarantine barriers in Burleson
and Grimes counties are removed.
Sillier proceedings than this
would scarcely be encountered
anywhere.
The Montgomery branch reaches
from Springer to Brennan.
There is not a suspicious case of
fever along the entire route. But
In spite of this fact, which none
will deny, the company is forced
to abandon its trains and subject
its patrons to innumerable incon-
venjences and annoyances. 1t
seems that railroad companies
have few rights that county
commissioners and aldermen are
bound to respect.

UNJUST GUARANTEES.
The Embargo Placed on Districts Not
Infected by Yellow Fever Should
be Removed.

be Removed.
This quarantine business is
rapidly being run into the
ground and the manner in which
certain health officers are abus-
ing their authority is becoming
intolerable. The quarantine at
best is only a necessary evil and
the law doesn't comprehend that
it should be used either as a
wilful boycott or instrument of
oppression. Government by in
junction is bad enough but
government by quarantine is
worse. No State, county or
municipality has the legal right
to quarantine against any dis
trict not infected with a conta-
gious disease, and an effort to en-
force an Illegal quarantine is a
movement not authorized by
law. Erroneous reports have
gone abroad concerning the
quarantine now in force in Bren-
ham, and right here the BANNER
wants to state positively that no
quarantine exists here except
against infected districts.
Such is not the case in other
places. For instance Burleson
county refuses to allow goods or
passengers from Brennan to
come into that territory. There
has not up to this time been a
case of fever here that the most
fanatical imaginationist could
think even for a moment was a
suspicious case.
The following telegram from
Lyons was received by Mr.. T. j.
Pampell Friday:
Owing to report of fever in
Brennan, don't come here. The
message was signed W. N.
Krohne.
1t is also stated on good au-
thority that freight from this
place is not allowed to be received
at Caldwell, and on this subject
Health officer Hynes sent the
following telegram to the Cald-
well health officer:
The quarantine your county
has established against BRENNAN
is unjust. There is not even
suspicious case here, nor has
there been. VIII you raise quar-
antine? Answer.
It's time to call halt on such
silly proceedings, and the county
or city that continues to stand
such unlawful restraints will
