Some Difference,

"There is a remarkable differ.
ence between Texas and New
Mexico " remarked a passenger
on the south bound train last
week, in the hearing of this re.
porter. The event that prompt
ed this soliloQuy was the anus
ing incident that occurred at the
first stop al a water tank just
after crossing the Texas line
into New Mexico. Several So
called cowboys had alighted
from the car and proceeded in
the dicer's vernacular to start a
a dice game. A nearby wash
tub was appropriated for 4 table,
and the rolling of the bones,
in the tin tub seemed TO furnish
inspiring influence tor the par
Elephants. Several dollars
changed hands in a jify and
they seemed to regret hearing
the ''all aboard, of the conduc'
tor. Nov, in Texas" remark
ed the passenger, ait is the pre-,
vailing sentiment of the people,
that is fast placing the liquor
traffic with its influence away
back in the rear. Not SO how
ever. in New Mexico. But Their
it is a blessing so ordained that
we do not see all things alike.

The Panhandle A Farming
Country.

Will 4. Miller came in Thurs
day from trip to Dallas and
Sherman. He says the best
crop of corn he saw was in Arm
strong county, just the other
side OF Claude. In Grayson
county wheat will make about
half a crop. Some OF the oats
never came up on account OF
the dry weather, and those that
did come up are only about six
inches high. People in Dallas,
Collin. Grayson and some of the
other famous black land coun
ties are in distressed circum
stances, this being the third
year of crop failures. Yet the
people OF those counties are
afraid to come to the Panhan-
die tor tear they could not make
living. They work hard all
the year, the girls hoe and pick
cotton, and with all the family
working, they live in the same
old houses, use same old teams,
20 TO church and other places
in Il wagon, are as rich ard no
richer, many not so well off as
they were five years ago-what
have they to fear by moving TO
the Panhandle: They could
not lose, the vast majority of
them would be benefited For
ty years ago lands were as
cheap iE those counties as they
are here, and crops just as IN
certain. 1t does occur TO us,
that common sense would teach
them that this country would
continue 10 settle, land advance
in price, and the same old pro-
cess be gone through with in
this country that has been gone
through in that. Western Ad-

They are easier and more

more reliable, as they can al

Things Quaint and Curious
Gathered Here and There
A BARON AS A wArTER.
He Is a Son Of an Austrian Arehduks
and Cousin Of Francis Joseph.

He Is Son Of an Austrian AFchduks
and Cousin Of Francis Joseph.
Baron WaIIbuFg. though the eldest
son and heir to the title and great es-
tates Of his father. the late Archduke
Ernest, cousin Of Emperor Francis
Joseph Of Austria, is forced to work
as a waiter in a restaurant in Buda-
pest This necessity comes to him
because his father married for love
and not for rank.
When Archduke Ernest chose a
wife he selected a Hungarian girl Of
common rank. He bought an estate
IN Carinthia and he and his wife lived
there in retirement from the world.
A few years ago the Emperor, in
recognition Of the way in which the
archduke had kept the disgrace" Of
his marriage for love from the world
at large. conferred the rank Of baroI-
ess on his wife, who thereupOn as
sumed the name Of Wanburg. The
imperial decree made no mention Of
her children, but it was assumed that.
as in all cases Of morganatic mar
rage, they would inherit their moth
er's rank and title.
Archduke Ernest died in 1899, and
his wife followed him into the grave
a few months later, but the Austrian
authorities refused to acknowledge
their eldest son as Baron Wallburg.
On the contrary. Efforts were made
by the legal Representatives Of the
Austrian court to deny the legality OF
marriage on the ground that no mem
