Where wealth accumuiates and men decay.


II we have not reached the last condition. we have
certainly arrived at the hrst"where wealth accumu-
lates" The bureau, which has just begun to
issue farm statistics reports total of 220 80S farms
valued at s152, 907 900, in Mississippi That is con-
siderable asset, though 1t is trhng compared with the
farm values in some other States but it isn't the ac-
emulation to which this comment refers.
These 100000 farms represent several hundred
thousand people and constitute the chief industry of
great State Yet their total value is not more than
the fortune OF several men of America. There are
dozen individuals in the United States worth

RAILWAY MILEAGE OF TEXAS AND THE UNITED


The United States has 900 miles Of
railway. When 1t is considered that all OF Europe has
only 1882 miles, the meaning of the figures Is
clearly understood.
The figures for Europe for the year 1900; the
figures for the United States for the 1902 and
are taken from the Railway Age. The exact figures
for the United States 1899 miles
The q ihstcs of railroad building for the nrst six
months OF 1902 show that 1t is going at faster
pace than during last year The increase in the rail-
road mileage of the country during the past ak months
was 2314 miles which is 500 miles ahead OF the record
Of the first months of 1901 If the present rate Of
construction continues the record for the year 1902
will be 5000 miles against 1922 miles in 1901
The South and the Southwest still lead with total
1893 miles of the total OF the 2Sl4 constructed
during the past six months Texas as in 1901 is ahead
of all the other States, with increased mileage Of
291.3 mes. Oklahoma and Indian Territory are next
with 211 miles increase each
According TO the figures Of the Interstate Commerce
commission IN 1900 the railroad mileage Of Texas was
only exceeded by that of the States OF Pennsylvania
and Illinois the figures being 9Sss,49 miles tor Texas
TO- 80 miles for Pennsylvania and il ,002.93 miles
for Illinois, Since 1900 the railroad mileage in Texas
has increased so rapidly than in any of the
other States that the Of increase, If continues

TAMPERING WITH TRrFI q
A PANAMA.

m,
Have felt II biting deep and felt II gnaw,
Have walked with head downcast, in deepest ruth
Az thought II was surmounted by "strawi"
cheap and common ev'ry-dsy chapeaul
While other ones did pass and scoff-they didl
Meath rare and high priced shape from Panama B.
Oh, how longed and longed for such lid
For such a crown sheet had given muchi
Sweet Panamas seductive to the eye
So smooth they feel to the caressing touch
So flexible and light they seemed to lie
Like eossamer within my itching palm
I'd look and turn awsy--then look askanee;
/ think would have sold with neer a qualm
NV soul for one butt did lack the chance
lacked the ehancei and-worse-I lacked the cash
To buy me one--ah, time and time again.
A-wrthe meath Povertys deep biting LASH
I've stood nose iattened ganst the crystal paus
OF haberdashery, and gazed within,
And lacked the strength to leave the wchnp ni,..,
But vet did leave when longing grew to sin,
And when my nose was spread across my facet
One hopes cen when his better sense doth tell
There is no room for hope, and bids it die
Rut I-you know couldn't say FAREWELL
That hope had grown till it were than II
And So in waking longing filled my days;
And dreaming, sweet fruition, broad and deep,
Came to me- and walked in Dreamland ways,
And did wear Panama--in sleep.
And Andrew Jackson Houston, let say,
AS boys catch butterflies meath hats of straw
You've caught my heart, in much the selfsame way
BY dropping DER my head Panama;
Some occult fash from my heart to your heart
Conveyed you knowledge of my longing plight;
And through the space that keeps us two apart
Quick you replied and, say that hats all right
