q Soft Snaps

There are too many people in
this word who are all the time
looking for soft snaps or easy jobs
They don't like to work, yet they
expect some body to pay them
well for doing some little or moth.
ing
Did YOU ever know boy or man
who was looking for soft snaps
amount to anything He manages
to get along somehow, but he never
rises above the surface in any line
of business. He is always strug-
Cling, most always hard up, and, of
course, always envious of the sue
cess of other men of about his age,
who may be started along with
him and have succeeded in doing
well. He never attributes his fall
ure in life to his laziness.
1t is fault or popularity of hui
man beings to look outside of them
selves for reasons for their failure.
They never think about turning
the light upon their own imperfec.
tions and studying themselves, and
that is really the only place they
ought to look, and the only
place it will do any good to look

Round about town heard good
one this morning. 1t originated
with the Interlocutor Of the "late
Columbian Minstrels. We say late
because we learn the organization
is dead, and not likely to be resur-
rected again. The joke our middle
man sprung on us is too good to
keep DO you know that telegraph
ing without wires was a Texarkana
discovery, made and carried out by
Texarkana man, dailyY We
answered in the negative and he
said: Why we have morning paper
published here full of telegraphic
dispatches and not a wire is used in
its transmission from Dallas. After
the laugh at the reporters expense.
Continuing he said: The only diff
Guilty to overcome in this kind of
transmission is to keep the railroad
bridges from burning between
sending and receiving stations.

STOP THE LEAKS.

Farmers, we know, do not like to
BE- lectured upon the management
Of their acres. 1t is a fact, though,
that the more successful, the more
thorough, the more experienced a
farmer is, the more he does want
to learn, Such men take agricul-
tural papers, they attend farmers
Institutes, take notes of what their
bretheren are doing and then they
undertake to do better farming
next year.
Take the saving in manure,
What is wasted in solid or liquid
manure is money wasted. This by
product from animals has a certain
cash value Just as much as has
wheat or corn. 1t is allowable TO say
that wheat is money for it
amounts to that, so is manure. If
it is all given to the best purpose
larger crops will certainly be gath
ered
We all know how Armour and
other millionaire packers save
every portion of the animal slauEh-
tered, If they did not make a cent
from the actual meat packed, the
money they receive from the bone
meal blood and bone fertilizer, glue,
hair, ETC., would make them rich.

WHEAT CLOSED WEAK

CHICAGO, Jan. Sl.-Wheat lost all SEM

yield of 675,O00,e0o bu of wheat last year, gave
wheat weak start. May opened asQAc low

rendered more unfavorable by sharp slump
at Liverpool. May declined to 75c. The eX-
uemey cold weather, with the unprotected

apprehension OF damage to the plant, and
as there were many reports to that effect,
buying became quite general. while May ad-

slid off to 749s074Ac, where it closed.
The bearsh government figures and lower

from commission houses sprang up, and
the market developed good Geal Of strength.
New York reported an excellent export de-

improvement in the cash business at work
