HOW THE TEXAN LIVES.

]. P. Vaughn of Reinhardt,
Texas, writes the Record the fol-
lowing description of how the av-
erage Texan lives. The same
story might apply to Arkansas:
"The average Texas citizen
imagines he lives at home, but he
doesn't. He gets socks made in
Boston, pants made in Ohio, and
then slips on pair of Connect
cut suspenders over his shoulders.
He dips water from a Missouri
bucket with a Chicago dipper,
puts it in an Illinois pan, and
washes his Texas face, using a
cake of st. Louis soap in the op-
Grafton. He dries his face on a
Rhode Island towel and reaches
his hair with a Vermont comb.
He then drinks coffee from an In
diana cup and saucer, sweetened
with Louisiana sugar, and stirred
with a New York spoon. His
knife and fork, plate and table,
cloth were made in the North and
he eats a piece of Chicago ham,
fried in Kansas City lard, sops
his st. Louis biscuit, seasoned
with Boston soda and Michigan
salt, into Louisiana molasses.
He wipes his mouth with a Yer.
mont napkin, shoves back his
Michigan chair and gets up from
a Michigan table. His meal was
cooked on a St. Louis stove, with
wood cut with a st. Louis ak, and
hauled on an Indiana wagon. He
then puts a Boston bride and
harness on a Missouri mule and
gets out his Georgia plow and
works all day in the field, incum-
bered in all probability with a
New York mortgage. He returns
at night and satisfies his appetite
with another imported meal. He
then fills his Indiana lamp with
Pennsylvania oil and lights it
with a New York match. He
then fills his pipe with North
! Carolina tobacco, and settles down
for comfortable smoke. When
bedtime comes he takes down his
family Bible, which vas printed
in Massachusetts, reads a chapter
and in his prayer he repeats the
sincere desire of heart, and then
retires to his bed, slips under his
imported covers, and is kept
awake for two long hours by his
Texas dog, which is about the
only home product he has on the
place.

the 9th day of June, 1902, pawne1

What is Plasmon2

Plasmon is the result of prolonged
investigation. 1t is the albumen (pro-
teiO of pure milk, containing its most
important original salts, prepared by a
process which does not alter it's vital
and physical properties or in any way
lessen it's nourishing effects. The al
bumen (proteid) as in fresh milk, re-
mains absolutely pure and soluble,
though in dry, granulated form, and
retains the properties unchanged for
an indefinite period.
Plasmon is the pure, -unadulterated
albumen and not a substitute for any
thing, and therefore, without flavor or
odor. 1t may be added to food as dry
powder, sprinkled on like salt or sugar
or dissolved in liquid or other foods. In
fact. it can be advantageously added
to any food that can be prepared. No
matter how il is employed, its nutritive
properties remain unchanged and it is
quickly digested and absorbed into the
system, nourishing the strong and
healthful as well as the weak and all
ing.
Plasnror stands pre-eminently alone
In the high approval accorded to II by
elnlnent medical authorities and meol-
cal journals.

The New York Post hears that Con-
gresham Payne. leader of the majority
in the House of Representatives, is con-
sidering means for preventing the use
of the House roll call for fllibustering
purposes. During the last session of
Congress the Democrats, for the sake
of obstructing legislation. insisted upon
roll calls whenever possible under the
rules. They also refrained from voting
on the first call. involving more delay
on the call of absentees. AS result, a
large proportion Of the time of the
House was thus taken up. This caused
a revival of old suggestions for saving
time on the roll call. among them the
plan of electric recorders to be con-
nected with the desks of members
This. is it said, Chairman Payne is

estimated that the roll could be called
and the vote recorded within the space

A New Orleans paper has discovered
that the first colored regiment in the
Civil War was on the Confederate side.
and that it's members enlisted Of their
own free will, the ranks being filled by
the descendants of the colored men
who were made free for their service in
fighting under jackson at the defense OF
New Orleans in 1915. This is an inter-
esting contribution to history, and if it
is true it adds still more heavily to the
later years in depressing the colored
man and depriving him Of his rights.

doubt. there are many colored men in
Arkansas who are far better fitted in
every respect to be governor of the
