NO DOUBT THE KING WAS BORED.

Prophesies regarding the browning of King Ed
ward VII did not come true. Atropos, grim sister
of the fates did not make the promised quick snip
with her shears at the thread of Edwards life.
Along with the mummeries and comic opera tea-
lures of coronation exercises many superstltlons
have been preserved Ancient practices which lost
all their significance centuries ago still kept up
to please the imagination of the people; to convey
the impression that monarchy is supported by d.
vine right and that its power is perpetual. Time
was when the ceremony of the challenge meant
something. A knight in full armor, mounted on
charger caparisonsd for battle has, during many
coronatiOns ridden into the center of Westminster
hall and challenged to mortal combat any person
present who dared dispute the title of the royal IN
cumbent to the crown. 1t is not matter OF record
if any rash person ever took up the challenge. In
order to makeit IN toerably ridiculous, some urchin
armed with bean-shooter ought to step forward,
pick up the steel gauntlet that the challenger filings
upon the floor, and dare the canned goods gentle
man to come out into the alley.
Edward VII is a modern man IN every sense of
the word He is the leader of fashions and he hates
the mummeries and circus parades of the royal
household but is compelled to crafty his subjects
by going back INTO the centuries for few days and
reviving obsolete practices He realizes quite as
we'll as anyone that the king has become a sort of
lay figure which serves to centralize patriotism and
please the imagination of the people. That being
the case he must consent to engage in the show bus
mess and then merely to give pleasure to his
subjects. No doubt Edward was dreadfully bored
by the proceedings of the day. but the people of all
nations will unite in congratulating HIM for his
good luck and safe deverance and that another SUI
nerstitiOn has baeD laid ont cold

WOMAN AND vIoLINs.

The other day in Chicago the wife of working
man of one of the suburbs was found dead in wine
room. She lost her head by drinking too much
with friends and then fell into bad hands. The
woman was innocent as child.
One day last week the wife of university profess
sor the daughter of cultivated parents, found
in strange hotel, drunk
But the stories of the lives of these two women,
at opposite ends of the social SCALE are widely diff
erent The one was ignorant of wrong doing knew
but little of the ways of the world and was ruined
in an hour The story of the other is story of the
retrogresson of delicate, fine nature through
years.

Some women certainly like violins-higt

make ravishingly sweet music. But they cannot

NOW BUYS CATTLE.
Britain Makes Contract for Texas
Steers for South Africa.
The Boer Farms to he RestOcke d with
Animals from the Great South
westera RAAehsS-Fifty Thou
sand Head Purchased.

One of the most comprehensive
deals in Texas cattle had its initia-
ton in the shipment of $50 head m
stock from Pensacola, Fla, partlcu-
lars of which have just been gwen
out, at Forth Worth, Tex. The ship
ment was made by Maude 4 Carrew
and is the beginning of shipments OF
thousands of Texas cattle to be used
in restocking Boer farms in South
Africa.
Walter D. Maude was at one time
a member of the SiKty-seventh High
landers, later the owner of the Moon
ranch in the Texas Panhandle and
later lieutenant in British regi-
ment in the Boer war. At present he
holds majors commission in the
British army. Richard Carrew, the
other member of the firm, is the own.
err of the Windhorst ranch in Clay
county.
1t is understood that these two
men have a contract to supply the
British government with breeding
cattle in South Africa. The ship
ment from Pensacola consisted of
blooded stock, none of which was
over three years old. The animals
were purchased at various points in
Texas in small lots.
1t is the purpose of Maude & Car
rev to follow this shipment with 9th
ers aggregating $4,000 head. The
point of debarkation will be Natal,
and the point of shipment in this
country in future will be Galveston,

GOVERNMENT MONEY, ANYWAY.

The government of the United States has decided
to locate a sugar experimenting station at Hunting
ton in this county. DR.. Walker of that place, it is
said will be appointed agent of the government to
look after the conduct of the station.
These facts should not needlessly alarm the peo-
pie. Agricultural department sugar is harmless
article when taken in moderate doses and the brand
that DR.. Walker may reasonably be expected to turn
out will never come into any general USE
The station is established not so much for any
good it may accomplish in the way of new discover
les in the science of sugar making, to assist the
agricultural department agriculturalsts in making
bluff which it is hoped will be construed eff
fort in the interests of the sovereign squats who
make their living by farming, and at the same time
furnish Job to badheaded, specialized and be-
whiskered yap, who, since his naturalization, has
been flirting with the republicans with this some
tother job in view.
The station will bring some government money
into the county, and in this respect will do good
But means of procuring tangible results in the
science of sugar making, the thing is simply not
possible under man of Walkers caliber. What
is needed at the head of such station is practical
man of some scientific training, and not superan-
uated and superficial agricuturalist who can't farm

A NATIONAL DISGRACE.
AND ADVERTISER

Some lose change, amounting to $780, and few
odd dimes and nickles, were taken from the trunk
of C. F. w. Nicely when he arrested for his con-
nection with the Cuban post office frauds. When
the officers had recovered this money they did not
know what to do with it. The secretary of war did
not want to soil his fingers it it was turned over
to the post office department of the United States.
Neev has been released by the Cubans after having
been convicted of charges of fraud and mlsappropri
alton of funds This was the peculiar way the Gu
bans had of showing gratitude to the United States.
Upon being released, Nicely demanded the money
taken from his trunk and the postal authorities
cannot prove that it part of the stolen funds,
the money will be returned to Nicely. In the course
of his career as postal official Mr.. Nicely has been
put to some shame and not little Inconvenience,
but since there has been recovery of funds 1t
probably that he will clean up nicely on the deal
There is also a suspicion that others who were Access
series and accomplices behind the scenes will now
count their profits and draw long breath of relief
since it is all over
The bald scheme of it all is exposed and accentu-
ated by the acknowledged fact that when Nicely
went to Cuba as postal employe he was not worth
q cent.
