PALESTINE, TEXAS, SEPTEMBER 70, 1903.
STAND BY HIM.

Newspaper men are not so bad;
they are possibly as generous as
any set of men, and certainly give
as much in time and labor as any
people. The following from the
Cherokee County Banner OF Jack
sonville in reference to Mr.. Man
delstamm marks the general feel
ing of newspaper men:
The supposition is that financial
trouble caused him to attempt
suicide. He has sold a world of
goods here and at Frankston on
credit, and collections have been
very slow on account of the late
ness of cotton. There is no doubt
that he has more than enough
owing him to pull through all
right, and it is certainly to be
hoped that he will soon recover;
and that his customers will come
to his speedy rescue.
A. B. Mandelstamm is worthy
man, and deserves a much better
fate than to have to end his own
life because of business troubles.
This is the time of all times when
his friends should stand by him
and give him the assistance need
ed. It is indeed a sorry specimen
of humanity who will turn his
back on him in this hour of
trouble.
He was married only few
months ago to Miss Bella Maymon
PALESTINE, who was visiting her
mother at the time the news was
received. Her father was in this
city at the time, but left at once
for Eagle Pass, and was joined at
Palestine by Mrs. Mandlestamm.
1t is hoped that he will be able to
return here in few days, and
that his affairs may be satisfactor-
lily adjusted.

WIRES CROSSED.

The Tyler Democrat-Reporter
mans wires were evidently crossed
when he got off the following two
comments, one following the
other:
"Thank God for a country
where every man is free, and has
the inalienable rights of free
born American citizen"
"Any sensible, moral man can
stand ga great way off, and see
that there is something rotten
with a government where "trusts,

KNOCKERS.

Every community has its share
of "knockers," and Palestine is
no exception to the rule. They
are now busy saying money spent
on the Carnival is money foolish
ly spent. That the $500 spent
on the Carnival would have been
better invested in some permanent
improvement.
Let us see. That $500 invest
ment brought to Palestine people
who spent in Palestine at least
100000, besides nearly all the
$500 subscribed was spent in
Palestine, to Palestine mechanics
and others. This same pitiful
amount gave Palestine an adver-
tisement which cannot be esti-
mated in dollars. This $500
provided entertainment for 40, 900
people. and brought the attention
of the world to the fact that Pal
estine was not only on the map,
but was in the midst of the great
est fruit and truck country on
earth.
The Herald does not know OF
any investment that that money
could have been put to for greater
returns.

FOLLOWING up the favorable
impression made by our late Car

actively hustling to bring new
people here. 1t should be the
slogan of all of our people to
strive for 500 industrious farmers

them.

wall and opened our book and umbrel-
la, for it had begun to rain a little.
Sitting on an evidence of civilization
we endeavored sincerely to contemplate
savagry. 1t was not difficult to pick
out the eact spot where had once stood
the old arrow makers. tent. It's at the
top of the ravine, just to the right of
the falls. After we had gazed at the
| spot for five minutes, we opened the
book of poems and read with satisfac-
ton the following:
There the ancient arrow maker
Made his arrow heads of sandstone
Arrow heads of chalcedOny
Arrow heads of flint and Jasper,
Smoothed and sharpened at the edges,
Hard and polished, keen and costly"
Looking back at the falls it sug-
geSted, of course, the arrow makers
beautiful daughter and the next lines
had unusual significance:
with him dwelt his dark eyed daughter,
Wayward as the Minnehaha.
With her moods of shade and sunshine.
Felt as rapid as the river,
Tresses flowing like the water,
And as musical a laughter.
Just at this point our meditation was
interrupted by steps on the park path.
Looking back we saw the young person
with the yellow pompadour and the
soldier.
81 never could abide that falls"
said the POmpadour pettishly, turning
hastily back.

through the park there and you will
see the falls" said the Scandinavian
proprietor Prepared to find the Land
of the DakOtas" it was a shock to find
we were still merely in Minneapolis.
I'VE sell soft drinks here" observed the
man casually as we turned our faces
toward the park. The suggestion caus-
ed us to hasten our journey. A very
neat path led through the park and
though the grass was park grass it
was pleasing because of its fresh
greenneSS. We knew perfectly well
that we would not see the Dakota
maiden,
See the face of Laughing Water
Peeping from behind the curtain
Hear the ruStling of her garments
From behind the waving curtain,
AS one sees the Minnehaha
Cleaning, glanCing through the branches,
AS one hears the Laughing Water
From behind its screen of branches"
For we were aware of course, that
Mr.. LongfellOW'S poem was about a
people that had passed away. But we
wished we had not seen the very blond
young person who was sauntering
along with a soldier and humming I'm
der the Bamboo Tree" Her pompadour
was so very yellow and so very high,
her hat so absurdly modern, she was
so much twentieth century and not of
the best type of the twentieth century,
that she was more Earring than the
scandinavian proprietor, the neat park
path or the park grass. Besides it
would have been much pleasanter to

expressed in the poets lines was in his
face:
And the arrow maker
Turned again unto his labor
Sat down by his sunny doorway
Murmuring to himself and saying:
Thus 1t is our daughters leave US,
Those we love and those who love US.
Just when they have learned to help us,
When We are old and lean upon them,
Comes a youth with Haunting feathers,
With his flute of reeds, a stranger
WanderS piping through the village
BeckonS to the faireSt maiden
And she follows where he leads her
Leaving all things for the stranger"
The shadows grew thicker The
features of the old Indians face be-
came vague and finally indecipherable
Only the water cleaned with the gloom
But still it was the land of the Da-
kotas." pleasant land and peaceful
Boom, boom, BOOM
1t was the Fort Smelling sunset gun
Even two miles and a half off it was
boastful, insolent, victorious. 1t van
quished the spectres of long ago. The
tepee on the right bank faded, the for
est became scraggy oaks, the orange
peel cleaned red on the park path, the
greasy paper shone impertinently I'M
der the tree. The whites were again in
possession of Minnehaha.

THE NATIONAL GUARD.

I0y> ~
5 The fourth annual ;eonvention of the
interstate National Guard association
will convene at Columbus. Ohio. on
Monday. May A. The Great Southern
hotel will be headquarters. Theses
sfons will be presided over by Mai. Cen.
Charles Dick, of Ohio. They will be
held in the Board of Trade building. A
one and a third fare for the round trim
meeting will probably not be very
largely attended this year. as the
guard now has nearlyfadl it can ask for
at present, but nevertheless there will
be doings, and some of the national
officers who sold the association out
to the war department will be made to
feel the shame they deserve. 1t is
probable that Minnesota will be repre-
scented.
Surgeon General A. J. Stone was to
have been seen in the saddle last We'd
nesday afternoon, getting himself in
readiness for the trip of the governor
and staff to st. Louis. The general
felt the effects of his ride more when
he later discovered that the staff will
ride in carriages while in st. Louis.
1t is not known how many of the
staff will accompany the governor to
st. Louis. but the party will leave next
Wednesday. The parade will occur
next Saturday. The National Guard
of every state representing the Loui-
siana Purchase section will be repre-
scented.
E. A. Brown, st. Paul ieweler, has
offered a medal to Company c, to be

highest score on the home range will

erty of the man winning it. Company

Nor me either" agreed the soldier
gallantly
But the young woman was not look
ing at the falls when she spoke and it
occurred to US that it was something
entirely different that she couldn't
abide. But we had come quite a dis
| lance to contemplate the falls and did
not find it necessary to vanish for a
pair of lovers.
Gazing steadily at the white veil of
spray we became conscious of a pc
culiar impression. A leafy forest took
the place of the occasional denuded
oaks. A tent suddenly appeared on the
spot above the ravine, and to the right
of the cataract. In front of that tent
sat the old arrow maker bending grave
ly over broken arrow. Beside him
was an Indian girl, her brown hands
busted with an unfinished rush mat.
And there to the left, walking proudly
and firmly toward the lodge, a great
buck, and on his shoulders came an In
dian youth. Surely it was
1T would never do to go back home
and say we hadn't seen it," said a firm
voice.
The forest, the lodge and the Indians
istantly vanished. we looked back re-
proachfully. Two women were stand
ing on the park path, contemplating
through lorgnettes the falls.
SO that's Minuehaha Falls" ejacu-
lated the younger of the two. Fancy
calling it Laughing Water Why it
sounds just like the breathing of a fat,
asthmatic old man."
We'll, you know. my dear, Mr.. Long
fellow described it before he saw it,"
said the older lady alphabetically. It's
really very neat though, don't you
Think"
'Ye-es," assented the other indiffer-
emily, and presently they disappeared.
The rain ceased and We put down the
umbrella. Down in the gorge the shad-
ows began to deepen. Gradually the
forest and the lodge came back, but
now the old arrow maker was sitting
alone in front of his door. The sorrow

''Take the poem, Hiawarha' out to
Minnehaha Falls and read it there, "
said the editor. Contrast last condi-
lions with The present."
The suggestion was an inviting one
all the more 50 because we had never
read the poem, never seen the falls.
The experiment would be almost as
unique as hanging up all original sun
set beside the painting and comparing
the two. 1t looked like rain so we Dor
rowed an umbrella. There are many
ways Of acquiring umbrellas but we
borrow on general principles
How you get to Minnehaha depends
entirely upon the weather. If the day
is pleasant and your shoes are built
for walking you go by way of Fort
Smelling. If it looks like rain and you
value your hat, you go first to Mime
apolis and then come back half way
again to st. Paul in a car that makes
the trip every fifteen minutes
A brief glance at the poem on the
way out had led us to believe that We
had merely to look out of the car when
1t had reached it's destination and be-
hold the very spot.
Where the Falls of Minnehaha
Flash and CLEAN among the oak trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley"
We looked instead on a pavilion.
'Just two minutes and a half walk

have approached the falls as did Hi
awatha
Through interminable forests,
Through uninterrupted silence"
AS we stepped down to read a taste
full placard that said: This way to the
menagerie" we became conscious of a
strange sound that resembled nothing
so much as the buZzing of a myriad of
angry bees and we knew that, like Hi
awatha, we had
heard the cataract's laughter,
Heard the Falls of Minnehaha."
Our eagerneSS was further stimulated
when we realized that the buzzing was
in the opposite direction to the men
agerie. Mr.. Longfellow, speaking of
Hiawatha, tells US that
Pleasant is the sound he murmured
Pleasant is the voice that calls me-
Our emotions were somewhat similar
and they increased as we beheld the
sheer fall of the white water even
though we saw it still from the park
path. We regret that we were not able
with Hiawatha to say,
"On the outskirts of the forests
Twixt the shadow and the sunshine,
Herds of fallow deer were feeding"
The most conspicuous things beside
the falls themselves was the rustic
bridge, some orange peels on the path
and a greasy paper package that had
very evidently once held ham sand
wiches at the foot of a dignified oak.
We turned our back on all three, picked
out dry looking stone in the retaining

Oh no, This Is no Grass Country!

John Hanson has just cut his first
crop of hay. John isn't farmer,
but he has lot and a half of va
can't property on east Third street.
The lot and a half is equal to about
quarter of an acre Of land and he has
just cut a ton ard half of clover.
That is equal to six tons to the acre.
The clover stood high and thick ard
prettier grass never grew any
where. Now John will grow the
second crop and expects to get
two-thirds of a yield, or in all at the
the rate of ten tons Of hay Ito the
