FOURTEEN YEARS OF DROUGHT

Austin, Tex.-Captain Wash Shelly,
sheriff of Starr county, was here today
and called on Governor Sayers and laid
the details of the distressing situation
before the latter.
There are more than II. 900 people in
Starr county and 5000 in Zapata
county" Sheriff Shelly said "Of this
number, more than one-half are either
in destitute condition at this time or
will be very soon. The poor people are
fiocking into the settlements along the
Rio Grande from the ranches They
have absolutely nothing to live upon.
No corn has been raised for two years,
and in fact it has been that long since
any rain has fallen. The drought real
ly began fourteen years ago and has
been growing worse year by year.

Measured by results accomplished.
Andrew Carnegie has been the most
successful business man
CARNEGIES the world has known.
BOOK. No man should be so
we'll qualified, therefore,
to prescribe the qualities necessary to
business success, or to define the lines
on which the business of the future
must be conducted. For these reasons.
as we'll as for the genuine literary merit
of the work itself, Mr.. Carnegie's new
book, The Empire of Business" will
have large circulation The follow
ing extracts from the book give a fair
idea of Mr.. Carnegie's estimate of the
conditions which the young men of to-
day must meet:
The young practical man of today
working at the bench or counter, to
whom the fair goddess Fortune, has
not yet beckoned, may be disposed to
conclude that it is impossible to start
business in this age. There is some
thing in that.
1t is, nc doubt, infinitely more diff
cult to start a new business of any
kind today than it was. But it is only
difference in form, not in substance.
1t is infinitely easier for a young prac-
teal man of ability to obtain an inter-
est in existing firms than it has ever
been.
The doors have not cloaed upon
ability; on the contrary, they swing
easier upon their hinges. Capital is
not requisite. Family influence. as be-
fore, passes for nothing. Real ability,
the capacity for doing things, never
was SO eagerly searched for as now.
and never commanded such rewards.
Every employer OF iaDor is studying
the young men around him, most anX-
ious to find one of exceptional ability.
Nothing in the world is SO desirable for
him and so profitable for him as such
a man.
Every manager in the works stands
ready to grasp, to utilize the man that
can do something that is valuable
Every foreman wants to have under
him in his SsDartment able Elen upon.
whom he car rely and whose merits ne
obtains credit for, because the greatest
test of ability in manager is not the
man himself. but the men with whom
he is able to surround himself.
These books on the shelves will tell
you the story of the rise of many men
from our own ranks. 1t is not the
educated, or so called classically edu-
Gated man. it is not the aristocracy, it
is not the monarchs, that have ruled
the destinies of the world, either in
camp council, laboratory or workshop.
The great inventions, the improve
ments, the discoveries in science, the
great works in literatur ehave sprung
from the ranks of the poor.
Mr.. Carnegie does not fear the eff
fects of trusts on the business of the
future. On this topic he says:
The people of America can smile at
the effort of all her railway magnates
and all of her manufacturers to defea
the economic laws by trusts or COM
atoms. or pools, or "differentians, "
or anything of like character.
:, Only let them hold firmly to the doc
triue of free competition. Keep the
field open. Freedom for all to engage
in railroad building when and where
capital desires, subject to conditions

Private" John Allen told this story
in Washington the other day: There

of his prowess in two battles. A little

Both those bottles were fought on the

A Bet md It's Odds.

A notorious gambler, who died some
time ago, once wagered thousand dol
lars to one that six would not be
thrown with n pair of dice ten times
In succession His offer was taken up
by fellow clubman. The dice were
brought, and his opponent actually
threw six nine times In succession. The
gambler then offered S470 to be free
of the bet. The other man declined,
had his tenth throw and failed to get
another six.
Just to show how very little the av-
erage man knows about the doctrine
of chances a well known mathematic-
ian has pointed out the real odds about
this bet. The chances were no less
than G0,466,175 to l against six being
thrown ten times In succession; there
fore the real bet should have been
about 100000 to l cent against such
thing appening.-Pittsburg Gazette.

cold Pntch.o the Forger.

1t was about the year 1884 that the
first forgeries on a very large scale
were discovered by the Bank OF Eng
land, and these were done by one man
known from his favorite disguise as
"Old Patch" By a large issue OF
notes spread over long period he de
frauded the bank of more than f200,-
600, and, having only one confidant,
his mistress, great difficulty was ex-
perienced In tracing the source of the
forgeries. "Old Patch" in his check
cred career of lottery Office keeper,
stockbroker and gambler had give
banknotes careful study and acquire
a knowledge of engraving, paper ma
ing and printing. He made his ow
ink, manufactured the paper and print
ed the notes on u private press. In va
rious DISCUSSES he hired boys from the
streets to present the notes. Suspicion
was at last aroused by his movements.
He was thrown into prison, where he
cheated the law by hanging himself in
his cell.-London Chronicle.

felt that fearsome sensation of sudden
removal from earth TO some distant
point in space. Then you have never
been, by the turn OF an eye, plunged
into that spangle OF liked stars which
we call the Milky Way. 1t is an ex-
perience to be thrust into such con-
fusion OF great knobs of light so sud-
denly that YOU are impelled to duck
and dodge lest you bump against them.
Lifted so suddenly into these yellow
galleries you forget how, from earth,
the region seemed only belt of golden
web and wool.
Without sound or any jar you have
been lifted of the earth. The earth
has softly fled from beneath your feet,
like when you rise 10 balloon. The
distance you have gone through space
is wholly contingent upon the optical
power of the telephone. But YOU have
travelled out through the dark skies far
enough TO see Jupiter close in front Of
you, and apparently as large as earth S
moon to the unaided eye. The belts of
Jupiter are now clearly in view, and
you are tempted to poke one OF his
four moons with your finger, just to see
IL it would move.-From "a Journey
