Timothy Dexter.

Whether Lord" Timothy Dexter, that
most grotesque figure in New England's
annals, was mailman, an imbecile or
simply a humorist who delighted in ex-
citing the wonder and indignation OF
his staid Puritan neighbors is ques-
ton that never received the attention it
deserves. Most of the things which he
did would pass well enough for jokes
nowadays, and perhaps they would have
done so i'm his time had he lived in a
region where anybody who did not take
himself and the world with deadly seri
business was regarded as hardly entitled
TO be called human.
Dexter had at least the money get
ting and money keeping faculty, and it
was developed to such an extent that
even the shrewdest of his Yankee rivals
could not often claim the glory of get
ting the better of him in business
way. That he put new names OH the
statues in his dooryard whenever the
fancy to do so seized him may have
been merely a yelled criticism of New
England sculptors, and his book with
the punctuation marks all collected on
the last pages betrayed originality rath
er than mania, if one looks at it in the
right light His expectation of warm.
ing pans to the West Indies turned out
too profitably to have been prompted by
sheer ignorance 1t is at least possible
that Dexter was an early Pudd 'nhead
Wilson who rather enjoyed the derision
Of his contemporaries. This theory
would have stood better the test Of ex-
if he had not drifted into
ways in his later years, but
perhaps that was due to evaporation
over the refusal Of his fellow townmen

"Iwould like to ask You a question or
two"
$50 on. "
Il have noticed that when oil sells
high there is great deal of activity in
well drilling, Why is that"
That question is easily answered.
We want to take all the advantage we
can of high prices. That is natural
enough, isn't it?''
mo doubt it is, but when the price
OF oil is low again prospectors are busy
putting down wells. How do you ex-
plain that?"
The explanation of that question is
quite as simple as the other. When Pc
troleum sells at low price, we have
to produce more to obtain the same re-
turn In dollars. "-Pittsburg Chronicle.

It is doubtful if there is any man
who has not at some time in his lie
been a hypocrita.
There can be no true and abiding
comfort and peace that is not rooted
and grounded in faith.
The man who has never used his
eyes to consider the mercies of God,
has used them to small purpose.
Turning a mad dog loose is trif-
ing thing, compared to what the
devil can do with gossiping tongue.
In the very same breath with
which Jesus said, "Let not your
heart be troubled" he also said
"Believe."
The man who refuses to walk in
the light es God gives it, has only
himself to blame for what happens
in the dark.

portunity, and the Lord will see,to it

HOUSTON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10.
AN OBJECT LESSON.

The hauling OF cotton long distances to
market on wagons, rs noted in Tho Post
some days ago. was somewhat remarka-
bic circumstance and involved food for ma
tcriei consideration.
The most important suggestion about
the affair is that the good roads. problem
enters directly Into The Issue. II II can
pay man to haul his cotton by wagon
some fifty or sixty miles, rather than ship
tho freight by rail, the question OF good
roadways certainly amounts to something.
IL tue railroad or the highway cheaper
and better means OF getting to market
II with such roads as We have now, and
no further thought for the morrow, II Ia
still possible to reach Houston By dirt road
cheaper than by rail-. what can not Le
done II tho county roads arc what they
ought to be?
II has long been demonstrated that where
on bhd roads It costs 30 to 10 per cent to
get to market, on good roads It IL not ac-
tually cost Of 20 per cent. and that any
shipper can take his own horae and wagon
and get to the railroad station, IL tho road
DO at all good for from 80 to 100 per cent
less than under other circumstances.
1t may be possible that some OF these
days tho people In the rural districts may
learn these facts. but they are slow about
It.
Good roads mean cheap and easy hauling.
they mean no hrcakago Oh the team or run
ming gear; they mean the hest possible
terms on which a countryman can get to
market. aud this simple circumstance OF
farmers driving through 10 Houston with
their Gotten ought to be full loaded argu-
msnt In behalf OF good county roads.
