Pictures Governor Hogg in Knee Breeches.

II notice that Ex-Governor Hcgg, of our
State, would not rig himself in knee
breeches, even to meet King Edward VII"
said Mr.. C. E. hampton, of San Antonio,
at the Ebbitt.
Governor Hogg, IL such array. would
be a sight to make the gods on high
Olympus weep, as he weighs about 800
pounds. and his legs are as thick as
milI-post. No wonder he wouldn't get in
abbreviated trousers!
But he is not in England for society.
neither for his health He is after the
almighty dollar, and it's a sure shot that
he will not come home until he has made
a deal with some OF the sons OF Albion
that will add to his already huge bank
account
Z" Jim Hogg, as he is familiarly styled
down our way, is one of the luckiest men
ever created. He was lucky in politics.
and when he wearied of that game his
good fortune followed him in his quest
after coin He struck some of the Eaavi
est gushers in the Beaumont field, and 1t
is TO get English capitalists interested in
Texas oil that he is now in London Be
fore he became rich he used 10 be a cham
pion howler against plutocraey. but now
his former opinions have undergone con-
siderable modification"

NeUer Too Late TO Lean.

Once upon a time there WAS a ma
tion. 1t was smarter than q great
many other nations. 1t was also very
strenuous. This nation had legisla-
tors who were men of great ideas and
prodigious activity. These legisla-
tors were filled with knowledge on
many abstruse topics.
Once upon a time there came before
these legislators-or rather few OF
theni-a short, pudgy man who had
wonderful fingers. He was a presti-
digitator He did queer things. With
out seeming to have anything con-
cealed about the clothing which he
wore, he pulled rabbit from the back
of the coat collar of an astute Sem
ator and took brick from the hat
of an effervescent Representative.
He had queer things galore and mys-
titled the legislators exceedingly
much.
Even when the short. pudgy man
was blindfoIded he procured a pack
OF playing cards and did mysterious
things with them-things that were so
puzzling to the astute and remark
able legislators that they were al
most on the point Of crying: "a
miracle!"
And then the short, pudgy man went
away, leaving the astute Legislators in
great amazement.
All of which teaches this: No mat
ter how humble a man, he knows
something that the smartest man on
this terrestrial orb does not know.

Nameless Pleasure Club.

The "Nameless Pleasure Club" was en-
tertained by Miss Bessie Floyd at her

Value of College Education.

"a college education is technically a
good thing and he would be a rash man
who would decry its utility" said Mr..
Henry NJ. Allen. of Chicago at the Airing
ton.
"At the same time I find there is a
growing amount Of skepticism as to its
value. 1t all depends. For one thing,
modern experience has amply proved that
the lads who go no further than the
grammar grades, or at most the high
schools. more often get the biggest prizes
in the business world. A knowledge Of
higher mathematics and ability to read
Sophocles in the original do not help
a man in the practical pursuits Of life.
Often as not they are handicaps-
University training has been boon
TO many man, but the boy with native
good wit and fair hold on common
school education need not despair should
he fail to get collegiate course. Skill
in calculus will not help him to earn a
dollar outside of pedagogy, and familiar
ity with a typewriter is worth all the
Greek known of scholars"
