An Imnortant Difference.

To make it apparent to thousands
who think themselves i'll, that they

but that the system simply needs

tion is easily cured by using Syrup

A bashful young man went three
times to ask a beautiful young girl
to be his partner in sorrows, Joys
and other household furniture, so
says a Texas paper, but each time
his heart failed him and he took the
question away unpopped. She saw
the anguish in his soul and had com
passion on him. So the next time
he came she asked him if he had
thought to bring screwdriyer with
him. He blushed and wanted to
know what for And she, in the
.tullness of her heart, said that she
did not know but that he would
want to screw up his courage be-
fore he left. He took the hint and
the girl. They are married now.

THE AGONY IS OVER.
Bowie County Democracy Has Given
the Sore Heads Another Lesson.

The election yesterday in West
Texarkana and the entire county
of Bowie passed of without any
bloodshed as far as we can hear of
at this writing.
The voting was spirited, yet
there was not that interest mani
tested as we have seen in elections
on the West Side and the vote was
not as heavy as we expected.
The two tickets in the field were
the results of a democratic primary
on the one side, and an assembly
Of a lot of sore headed "has beens"
on the other side, who nominated a
varigated ticket both in color and
creeds.
The democracy was well organ
lied and held in hand by chairman
W. c. Hardin, and it was a toregone
conclusion that the democratic
rooster would roost upon the citi-
zens trail and be on hand to crow at
the final wind up
In the city, the vote in the vari-
Gus wards was short of the usual
balloting, why we cannot explain,
unless it is because the colored men
have left here in considerable num-
bers to pick cotton iu the west tier
of counties of Texas.
The democrats claim the election
oyer the citizens ticket by majori-
ties ranging from 600 to 1900 ma
iority.

The Wealth of Cuba.

If Uncle Sam should, in the inter
est of humanity, add Cuba to his
domains, it would almost double his
wealth. With Cuba under a stable
government and fully cultivated,
Uncle Sam would soon control the
worlds markets for four great
staples-tobacco, sugar, coffee and
rice. 1t seems a shame to abandon
this rich island to an alien race. 1t
is a greater shame for a man to
abandon his stomach to the ravages
of disease. To strengthen the
stomach take Harter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t is just the thing to
stimulate the appetite. 1t will
overcome dyspepsia. If there is
constipation it will establish regu-
larity of the bowels. 1t makes the
nerves strong and steady, and gives
restful slumbers. There is no sub
stitute for it.

Taxes paid BY Railways.

The preliminary report OF the inter-
state commission for 1897 shows that
last year the railways of the country
paid S40,977, 1913 in taxes. All COM
psnies had not reported, but compared
with the preceding year the report
shows that on about 1000 miles less of
road in 1897 than in 1896 the railways
paid about $1,000, ZOO more of taxes.
The total dividends paid during the
year were S57, 290, $40. Out of
every 81 cents earned by the
railways. therefore, above expenses,
81 cents was profit and 40 cents
went in taxes. In the Central South
western States kansas, Missouri, Ark
ansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Indian
Terr:tories) the taxes exceeded the
dividends by over one million. In
New England and the Northern East
ern States dividends largely exceeded
the taxes. The report shows that in
the densely populated states the rail-
ways could pay more taxes than they
do, but that in the less populous states
of the Middle and West the taxes are
already in excess OF the profits from
the business.-POst.
