TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue Of the 'FRE1E
PREssE FUER TEXAS" has po-
sitively the largest circulation
OF all German papers published
IN the State Of Texas.
1t has over 400 established
agencies in the State, is mailed
to fully 700 post-offices, and has
an extended circulation in Mexi-
co, in the Indian Territory, and
in Oklahoma.
It circulates from Galveston
to Denison, from Marshall to Ell
Paso and of course mainly in
the thickly populated central
and southwestern parts of the
state.
Two travelling men and our
very active local agents are con-
tinuously adding new SUBJ
scribers to the lists.
In consideration of these facts
the FREE PREssE FUER TEXAS"
claims to be the best adver-
tising medium in the State of
Texas, where it is the object to
reach the German reading po-
pulation.

Price of Steel BiIletS Reduced.

New York. November Sit was Off
cially announced by the United States
Steel Corporation today that the price
of steel billets had been reduced ST a
ton and that the price of steel rails
would not be changed.
This action was taken as a result of
an agreement reached yesterday to re-
duce the price of billetS to S. n ton.
Parties to the billet agreement are
said to include the Jones and Laughlin
company. the LackaWanna Steel Com
pany and the Pennsylvania Sttel COM
IN .
1t vas broadly intimated that the ser
vices of u number of high salarined
employees of the corporation would
oon be dispensed with. This is III
line with the policy of r~etrenchment
to which special consideration has been
given since the inspection tour recent
ly made by leading officials of the
corporation. The plan to effect greater
economy of transportation is receiving
the attention of Chairman Cary. H. G.
Prick inc George w. Perkins.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS.
Marriage Between White Men and
Native Women and Between the
Other Races Commended by Gov.
Dole-Other Matters Referred [ o
i'm His Report.

Washington, November 5.-Gover-
nor Sanford B. Dole, chief executive
of the territory of Hawaii, expresses
the opinion in his annual report to
the secretary Of the interior that IN
less there should be a larger immi-
grafton of American inferiority Of
those who may be classed as belong
ing 10 the TeutOnic race as compared
With the HaWaiians, will in a few
years become a still greater inferior
ity as compared with the then Amer
lean citizens of the Hawaiian, POr-
tuguese, japanese and Chinese races"
The prospect, says the governor,
emphasizes the Importance OF giving
to all children who are American cit
liens a good common school educa-
ton. The association of pupils of the
different races with each other IN
school work and the recreation of
the play ground, go far toward break
ing down race prejudices and tends
TO prepare them for intelligent politi-
cal action in the future.
There are nan marriages be-
tween Hawaiian women and white
men, n a few between Hawaiian
women and Cinnamon. The Off
spring of both classes of marriages
are an Improvement as d rule on the
pure Hawaiian, in thrift and bust
ness enterprise"
The report says the statistics show
a steady increase in the last three
years in the production of sugar and
an. increase in the shipments out
side the territory. Rice, the report
says, is inevitably a diminishing pro-
duct both from the competition Of
the new rice fields of Texas and
Louisiana and the diminishing num-
bers of Chinese in the territory. Gov
ernor Dole says that the majority of
the new settlers on the public lands
last year We're white men.

The "SOft'' Man.

These be hard times; not exactly
difficult times in the sense of getting
on in the world. for any man with
ambition to labor can make a living;
but times for hard men. as opposed
to what the cruel world styles soft"
men, says a writer in the New York
Press. Now. what is a soft man?
Permit me to give a few illustrations:
The liberal-hearted chap who allows
his .'friendS' to work" him for mon
ey is pronounced soft" The chap
who goes out of his way to DO a IA
vor is "sOft.' He who believes the
tale of woe of ar acquaintance or
stranger is soft" He who is courte-
Gus and polite to all corners is soft"
He who patiently waits half IN hour.
or more. for a friend to .meet an ap-
pOintment is "sofe." He who does the
strictly honorable thing in a risky
transaction is soft" He who refuses
to line his pockets with gold by fraud
when the opportunity presents itself
is soft"
The soft" man these days-the
honorable, generous, heightened, COIN
passionate man, liberal to a fault,
conscientious, full of the milk of hu-
man kindness and turned to the loft
lest pitch of honesty; self-abnegating,
self-effacing-is. in the eyes of the
wealth-grasping, money-worsh1pptns
WOfIQ, regarded as an 1IlDSCllG.
''Softness' is synonymous with Grass
stupidity, with Stiffness, with asin-
unity.
If you would skip along through
life with prospects good. never lend
a cent to a friend in distress; lend
only to friends in funds Never CIV
to he poor except through an organ
IZed charity, so that your donation
may be thoroughly advertised. Never
do a favor until you have sent for the
press agent. Never pay attention to
a hard luck story; you know the man
is lying. Don't waste your precious
time in courtesy or politeness. Don't
wait longer than 5 minut on any one
-unles he owes you money, which he
is not likely to do If you are up to
date. Don't be afraid of lying IL sure
you will not be found out. Lying is
the up to date mans privilege. Do
others as you do your brothers. Throw
gratitude to the winds. Never r.
emb a Forget every
thing but your material future.

As They Do in London.

In the dining room of nearly every
hotel in London one fnds a round
table filled with old fowl. old ham,
roast beef, tongue and mutton, cod
lobster and salmon, with m~ayonnaise,
and many .schaufrOids' so MASKED
with jelly and SO attractively gar
nished that one knows before tasting
that they must be good.
At breakfast and lunch time, and
even when in need OF a bite before
going to bed. the true Englishman
makes a tour of inspection around
this table in order to inspect the par
ticular palate ticker of his own fam
cy. But the usual breakfast of the
ordinary mortal is tea. toast, mullins
or very hard cold rolls with eggs or
bacon-and the inevitable JAM. This
jam is always O~btainable at any Eng
Iish table. and it is Of many varieties,
orange, plum or strawberry predOmi-
mating. When the unspoiled Ameri-
can comes along, however, he IS
served with boiled coffee. w~armed-over
rolls. ice water and all the different
kinds of jam at once. He swallows
this with eggs or bacon. and then he
wonders why his digestion doesn't di-
gest. The boiled egg is the true test
Of patriotism. The Englishman eats
his in the proper manner, Of course;
he sets il up in d tiny cup. breaks the
end. adds a dash of salt and proceeds
to absorb it most daintily with a tiny
spoon. But the American asks for
two. and he wants them broken in.o
a glass tumbler or goblet. and he then
chops them furiously, adding salt,
pepper and butter until thoroughly
mixed into a delicious mess which
tastes better than it looks.-Linda
