! The Fort Worth Register states solemn
truth In the following reference to the here
OF DEVILS island:
Tho admirable manner In which Captain
Dreyfus carries himself In his present trying
situation compels the respect of the world
There ia so little of the ordinary French atti-
tudenizng and mouthing about him that pun
lie estimation of his character is greatly In
creased.
The more n person thinks about this extra
ordinary man and the cruelties which he has
endured, the more puzzled he Is to account
for the singular criminal romance OF which
he is the victim. There must be some great
and mysterious purpose behind the wrongs
ard sacrifices he suffered, and It requires no
wide stretch OF religious conviction to feel
and believe that. with his coming trial and
yindcatlon. Providence Will, In some way or
other. reveal that purpose and demonstrate
ito wisdom. There has never yet boea a
martyr without its compromising results, and
those who watch the Dyoyfus episode TO the
end will see that the wrongs he has so pa
hcntly but triumphantly borne will yet he
instrumental in achieving a climax that could
not otherwise be reached.
GOD works In a mysterious way
His wonders to perform
He plants His footsteps on the sea,
And rides upon the storm
And from amidst the cruelties and fortunes
TO which Dreyfus was subjected. who can say
that he may not yet emerge as the champion
of a regenerated France--aye, and perhaps the
savior OF his own persecuted race?

compliment to The Post artist:
The cartoon In Wednesdays Houston Post,
'Waking Up to the Situation. Is about the
most realistic portrayal OF the facts in the
case yet produced regarding Uncle Sans con-
dition as to the Philippines. II represents
Uncle Samuel sitting against fence post re-
covering from the effects OF a great Tag"
produced from draining to the dregs large

towers over our uncle in most threatening
attitude.
This Texas stockman and Farmer felicitates
itself and the public upon the fact that:
Five years ago the people of Texas did not
know that all the staple grains. as well as
cotton and corn. were natural products OF the
great Texas coast country that peaches
pears, figs, grapes and all small fruits do bet
ter than in California, with less than one-half
o. the freight and six weeks earlier in the
market.
Our Country cousins" are exceeding kind
and we esteem as a high compliment to Hous-
ton the following from two of our most valued
exchanges:
The Houston Post says that within three
years the people of Houston will see ocean
going vessels at the wharyes OF that city. We
do not doubt it, as Houston always gets whnt
II goes after. And We take this occasion to
say that Houston is now the largest town in |
Texas.--Welcome Visitor. Comancho
Very well said, Brother Visitor: but the next
time you try could you not give incidental
mention of the work OF that great motor, The |
Houston Post? 1t has been powerful auXili- |
airy to liouston's growth.-Erath Appeal.
Thanks. The Post has worked for the up
building OF Houston, and it has striven earn
estly for the general development of Texas,
but in each case 1t was labor of love-" and
n the progress and Advancement OF both 1t
Ends its highest and most substantial reward
The Austin Tribune facetiously remarks that
"a factory for turning out fat offices is about
he only kind that will flourish in Austin"
