A LETTER FROM TEXAS
  Two Former Newark Boys Visit the Texas State Fair and
 See Historic Places.

Bettie, Tex, Sept. 30, 1902 Editor Newark Journal.
 On Saturday, Sept, 27, Oscar Williford and the writer boarded an excursion train at Bettie, bound for Dallas, Tex, where the state fair was being held. The first town of importance we passed, af- ter Gilmer, was Tyler, which is the county seat of Smith county. Tyler contains 10, GOO inhabitants and some of the noted men of the state have lived there, among them being ex-Governor Hubbard, who died there last year. Ex-Senator Horace Chiffon resides there at present. The next town of i'm portance we passed was Athens, the county seat of Henderson county. Next was Corsicannia, county seat of Navarro county. Corsicania contains 13,000 inhabi- tants and is the home of ex-Sena- tor Roger Q. Mills. At this town we changed cars. Not making con- neetion. we lay over here Saturday night. Sunday morning at 6 O. clock we boarded the train and ar- rived at Dallas, the metropolis of Texas, at g o'clock. Dallas claims q population of 65, ,000. It is the county seat of Dallas county and is situated on the Trinity river. I expected to see large river. but it is not much larger than Dota creek. Dallas is the home of sey- eral noted men of Texas, among them being ex-Governor and pres- ent Senator Culberson, who for merly lived at Gilmer, and is ono of the state board of examiners. After arriving at Dallas we took refreshments and then boarded n street car for the fair ground. l shall not attemt to describe what we saw after entering the fair grounds; space will not permit. ] have mentioned briefly few things in connection with the towns and will now give brief sketch of the country. A short while after leav- ing Tyler the lofty pines began to disappear and for short distance we had country timbered with scrubby oak, elm, etc. Near Cor sicania we struck the prairies. The prettiest country we saw was in Ellis county, 12 or 15 miles east of Waxahachie. Cotton on the pra- fries is short and corn is q com- plete failure.

THECOUNTRY BOY WINS
Why The Country-Raised Boy With Ambition Rises in
 The World.

A country boys lack of oppor> tunlty is his best equipment for the serious struggle of life. This sounds paradoxieal, but it IS true. 1t IS just as true as the opposite proposition, that the greatest blndrances Il city boy has to cons tend with Are the opportunities which beset him when young and pursues him till he begins the real business of life-a business which each individual must carry on tor himself. For the city boy everything is made as easy as pos slble. Every pleasure becomes to him an old story before he is out of his teens. Brought up in the feverish rush of d place where great things are happening day by day, he sees the world with Il cynic's eyes and despises the small things which, like the brick ln q house, go to the upbuilding of characters and careers. He believes in using large markers in the game of life; for pennies and small units of value he has little taste and saant regard.
 The conditions surrounding the country boy are as different as possible. There is d great deal of regular work that every coun- try boy must do, and this regu- iarily of employment, mostly out of doors, inculeates industrious habits, while 1t contributes to a physical development which i'll after years l. just as valuable as any athletic training that ean be had. He cannot run as fast, pes- haps, as those trained by Il sys- tenn he may not he ahle to jump SD Ligh or sa far, or excel i'll any If the sports upon which We be- stow so much tune and from which we get so much pleasure, but his development enables him to buckle down to the hard work ii which hours are consumed and frcm which very little or no lm- mediate pleasure is extracted. His strength may ty something like that of the cart horse, but the cart horse is to be preferred where q long and steady pull is required. The thoroughbred race horse has fine flight of speed and eanters with delightful light ness and grace along the park hlidle paths, but the heavy work

 President Roosevelt has decided to intervene no further in the coal strike situation. He believes he has done all in his power as an in- diyidual and that it is within the province of the governor of Penn sylsania alone to take official ac- tion.
 If the average farmer would plant more hogs and less cotton, more peas and potatoes and corn raise more hams and less shades he might act as his own banker and supply merchant, with out being forced to mortgage his crop before it was planted.
 Every newspaper man has at some time in his experience met the man who takes more papers than he can read. He was in New ark a few days ago. He wiped his nose on his coat sleeve, asked the druggist for some almanacs, put q half-dozen in his pocket and paid ten cents for bar of five cent soap. He turned up later at the postofiice, asked for mail for the whole family and kicked be- cause he got nothing. Still he takes more papers than he can read. We think he does.
 H. A. Gire, who returned q few day ago from an extended trip through the upper counties, re- ports that when he got to Gush- man C. L. Pearce invited him to attend church that night, and fur nished him with a lady. After church three couples, including Mr. Pearce, Mir. Dave Johnston and himself, went ssrolling down the railroad. At q given point they stopped and Esq. Pearce an nounced that a marriage would take place between Mir. Johnston and Miss Bettie Evans, and in q few appropriate words pronounced them man and wife. The roman tic turn of affairs was a complete surprise to the entire party except the squire and the happy bride and groom.

IS the work most in demand, and for that we want the draft ani- mals every time.
 Enthusiasm is the spur to en- deayof, and ut the same time it IS tie savor of fife, says Brandur's Magazine. The country boy whose ambition has taken him to town comes filled with enthu- siasm. Even the the little things are novelties to him, and as he aeeomplishes this or that he feels that he is doing something not only interesting, but valuable. His simple tastes have not been spoiled by J multiplicity of grati- fieations, anu so he is glad of everything good that comes hIs way. AL 30, if he leads clean life, he has more of the boy in him than his city cousin has left at b. He does what IS before him because it is his duty, while the other is too apt eynleally to question the value of doing any thing aud ask, "What Is the use.n
 Of the men who have achieved great prominence and high in fiuenee in our affairs of state, the country boys are at least twenty to one over the city lads. Nowa- days indeed, ou1 cynical city lads look upon men who take an act i've interest in pubic affairs as rather low fellows and quite be- meath their association and notice. Bat the country boys are at the top in other lines of endeavor. In finance they are pre-eminent, and the great bank presidents today Tn the great cities nearly all learn ed to read and 10 cipher III coun- try schools, where birch and fe- rule had not sutenmbed to the eivilizing influences of scientific pedagogy. Our great railways were in the main built by them, aud today the administration of these great companiesare in great measure from farm and country villages, from places where work begins in early infancy, and a sense of duty developed while st.ll the lisp of childhood finger ed.
 Some city boys, however, are of such sturdy stuff, and endow- ed with such natural gifts, that they succeed by reason of their inherent superiority: others suc- ceed abundantly because they have used their opportunities wisely, and in real life have per sued the same course which en- ahles so many country boys to win fame and fortune. The more honoi to them for having surviv- ed their too great opportunities. But the country boy when he comes to town reaches out for the high places though not all find seats of the mighty, nearly all of the exalted stations are filled in the end by men of country birth and country rearing, tor they usually start out with the sound theory that what Is worth having is worth working tor.

Lambeth Water Works, and is well
and favorably known. He has been a
night Waterman for many years, in the
course of which he has undergone many
experiences. What with wet and cold,
he contracted rheumatism and sciatica,
which fairly doubled him up, and it
began to look a serious matter for Old
foe whether he would much longer be
able to perform his duties, on which
his good wife and himself depended for
a livelihood, but as it happened a
passer-by, who had for some nights
noticed Old Joe's painful condition,
presented him with bottle of st.
Jacobs Oil, and told him to use it..
Old Joe followed the advice given; he
crawled home the next morning and
babe his wife rub his aching back with
the st. Jacobs Oil ga gentleman gave
him." and undoubtedly his wife did
rub, for when Old Joe went on duty at
night he met his friend and benefactor,
to whom he remarked: "Them oils
you gave me, Guv'nor, did give me a
doing; they wuz like pins and needles
for time, but look at me now," and
Old Joe began to run and Jump about
like young colt. All pain, stiffness
and soreness had gone; he had been
telling everybody he met what ST..

says now he has but one ambition in
life, and that is always to be able to
keep bottle of st. Jacobs Oil by him,
for he says there is nothing like it in
the world.
St. Jacobs Oil serves the rich and the
poor, high and low, the same way. 1t
has conquered pain for fifty years, and
it will do the same to the end of time.

but simple facts like the above tell an
honest tale with which nothing on
earth can compete.

this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to
women, and long ago he reached the
conclusion that woman entirely free
from catarrhal affection of these organs
would not be subject to female disease.
He therefore began using Peruna for
these cases and found it so admirably
adapted to their permanent cure that
Peruna has now become the most fa-
nous remedy for female diseases ever
known. Everywhere the women are
using it and praising it. Peruna is not
palliative simply; it cures by re-
moving the cause of female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured
more women of female ailments than
any other living physician. He makes
these cures simply by using and recon-
mending Peruna.
