Skaggs, secretary of the Texas Real Estate Association, inviting him to at- tend the regular semi annual meeting of the association to be held at Waco, June 18th and 14th, and to deliver an address on that occasion. The topic assigned him is "Port Arthur" and the letter requests that a complete copy of the address or at least synop- sis of It. together with a portrait of the speaker be sent in advance for the use of the press. Our local manager is proud of his ability as public speak CT, but is a little modest about giving the public the bcnefi of his oratory,- Port Arthur News

Tom McNeal in Topeka Mail.
 A foolish Kansas fish, which lived in the waters of the Wakarusa, noticed a tempting piece of meat hanging from q line stretched across the stream. And the fish, which was gay and alecky said: 'Some fool put that meat here to cool, suppose. and went off and for got it. It is soft snap for me; l will just take it ip." Afterwards, a wise old catfish swimming by saw the fool ish fish with hook fast in its jaw, wearing itself out trying to get away and said: Young fellow, it is harder apparently. hustling round catching a feed of bugs and flies than it is taking in what belongs to somebody else, but is blamed sight safer"

Three Sets of Pay Rolls.

The clerks in the railway offices at division headquarters here have had a busy time during the last month, being compelled to make out three distinct sets of pay rolls for the month of April, for all the employees. This was made necessary on account of the changes in the management of the road owing to two sets of receivers having been appointed. The first pay roll was for one day under the old management, then roll had to be made out for the time that the first set of receivers had charge, and then a third for that portion of that month after the present receivers were ap- pointed.

THE PROGRESSIVE ERA.

The Arkansas Gazette, referring editorially to the action of Attor- ney General Davis in bringing quo warranto proceedings to pre- vent the state house commission from proceeding with the work of erecting the new state house, says:
 "The progressive era in Arkan- sas has been inaugurated, and the man who can suggest the greater number of improvements that will rebound to tho benefit of the pub lie and will take his coat off and labor faithfully and earnestly to secure them will be greatfully re- membered by all who have any interest in the welfare of the state. The man in greater demand in Arkansas just now is the one who builds up; not the one who tears down. If the tax payers of Ar kansas had not been in favor of a new state house the bill authoriz- ing its construction would never have received the sanction of their legislature"

NOT IN GOOD TASTE.

Individuals and newspapers all have a perfect right to their opin- ions regarding what should or should not be done in honor of our war heroes, but in our opin- ion it is not wise or in good taste to start a subscription asking money donations for Admiral Dewey. The Kansas City Star, speaking editorlally of efforts be- ing made in this direction, very correctly says: ''If Admiral Dewey's actions are any indication of the character of the man he will not view with complacency money subscriptions for his benc- fit. Admiral Dewey is already we'll off in this worlds goods and is Tn receipt of a very handsome income, far more than he is able to spend upon himself, from the United States Government. This income will continue until his death. Resolutions, personal tcs- timonials, handsome swords and other things valued more for the sentiment than for their intrinsic worth would undoubtedly be more appreciated by him and received with less embarrassment"

Bermuda Grass.

Why don't you SOW your poor land in Bermuda grass and make pasture? More old hill sides and wet land in Se- vier county is left to grow up in sedge grass and bushes than one could ima- zine. Farmers could put this in Ber- muda grass and raise cattle and sheep enough to make them rich. One-half acre in Bermuda grass would keep one COW fat all the time, and if it was very good it would keep two. Some men live long time but never learn to take advantage of these little things, which really are the big things. De Queen Bee.

KILLING THEMSELVES.

Whether trusts are a good thing or a bad thing, trusts have un- doubtedly been multiplying too fast for their own good. It has set number of state legislatures at work creating antitrust legisla- tion, and popular prejudice has been aroused to such an extent that threatens to make the ques- tion a leading one in national pol itics.

STRAWBERRIES FOR MARKET.

The De Queen Bee reports an extensive strawberry grower of that place as saying: "The great CT the number who grow berries the greater will be the profit of each one engaged in the business. If only a few raise berries we are compelled to accept the shipping facilities afforded by the regular trains. The result is that our ber- ries get to market in the middle of the day, or later, after the morn ing market has been supplied. We are then obliged to accept ped dler's prices. On the other hand, if our shipments are large enough we can readily secure special ex- press trains. or fast freight with refrigerator cars. enabling our berries to reach Kansas City in the early morning, in much better condition and in time for market ing hours.
 "A good many talk of planting this fall. It is better late than never, but to get results next sea son the planting should be done right away. Any of this seasons growers will supply plants for fifty cents per thousand, and those who contemplate raising berries for market next season should lose no time in getting their plants set out"

SURELY, WHAT HARM?

SURELY, WHAT HARM?
 Several days ago we called at tention to the fact that the trusts as fast as they become sufficintly, well established to control any particular line of business, were discharging their drummers, and that the services of fully 10000 had all ready been dispensed with Tn varions lines, now controlled by trusts. We have just received from a subscriber in New York a copy of the Evening Journal-W. k. Hcarst's paper-containlng marked editorial on this subject from which we clip the following which substantiates the position we had taken:
 "The New York Sun begs to be told what harm the trust do, and particularly asks. 'Who actually suffers through the trusts or has any genuine grievance against them?" An ordinary newspaper, asking such a question, would not be answered; but the Sun. possess. ing the combined ability of Messrs Laffan, Clark, Paul, Dana, Lord Rewey, amazes us, and, because of its importance, must be ans wered.
 We think the Sun will get one very satisfactory answer to its question if it will write polite note to any one of the five hund- red drummers who have just been thrown out of work by tho To- bacco Trust. These five hundred drummers constitute very small element in the throng deprived of work by that one trust; but drum mers are good takers, and prob ably the Sun can learn from any one of the five hundred a good many things.
 We feel sorry for the five hun dred drummcrs individually, but not collectively. We are glad to know that those five hundred men will soon be engaged in produc- ing something useful, instead of spending their nights in parlor cars, their days and energies in persuading little shop-keepers to buy of them.
 ''Incidently, when trust de- prlves five hundred drummers of a living, it adds to the number of the actively discontented, five hundred very energetic men. Those five hundred men in the past have talked great deal about prosperity, etc., but now that they are laid flat on their backs out of work, with a dollar and half daily ahead of them, and no better prospects than the prospects of ordinary workmen, they will probably take broader view of life and politics, and be- gin to know that true prosperity is the prosperity of the whole people and not of any class.'
 In talking with an intelligent drummer, recently, upon this sub. iect, he remarked that heretofore he had looked upon the strikes of mechanics and working men in the various occupations with total indifference, deeming them of no interest or importance to him. Now, however, when he saw great corporations and trusts deliber- ateIy planning to dispense with his services and the services of his fellows-planning to destroy the means by which he made living for lis family-he began to sympa, thize with other workers who were having the means taken from them by which they were expected to earn bread for those dependent upon them, and, says he, ''I feel like fighting"
