Next Years Carnival.

The heat of the political cam
paign being over, San Angeloites
eau allow their minds to revert to
matters concerning the Carnival
of 1905.
The Press believes that instead
of having a 3 days Carnival, such
as we have hitherto had, it would
be n better proposition for this
city and section to have a six
days Fair. Tie reasons for this
belief are that:
G) Carnival finds too many
contests and attractions crowded
into one afternoon,
(2) There are not enough
events, such as racing, roping and
tournament riding, these things
being the principal attractions to
West Texans as we'll as their
visitors.
(3) Three days does not give
prospectors time enough to get
around and see the country's
natural resources. They have
their tickets extended and re-
main longer anyway. They might
as well have a Fair to visit at any,
time during their STAY.
CD A full week of the FAIR
would balance things up, afford
merchants each forenoon for the
transaction of business, and hold
the crowd longer in San Angelo.
(5) 1t would be worth the
while of exhibitors to stay the
week through, as we'll as afford
better pay for those who make
special preparations to entertain
during the carnival.
There are other reasons which
may be mentioned in some future
article.
The proper thing to do NOW is
to organize a Fair Association on
the basis of an incorporated in
stitutiop.
Instead of soliciting donations
from the different people in San
Angelo, who are benefited by
having such an event, let stock in
the association be sold to them
Let those who work for the good
of the show, profit as the Fair is q
success. Let the man who holds
stock in the association receive
his profits as well. In short, let
the thing be conducted as one
would conduct the affairs of O
bank or any other business insti.
tuition.
Let something along this line
be done NOW. We began early
this year but found in the course
of events that we should have
begun still earlier

President RlpIeY,s Visit.

The visit TO this city Of Presi-
dent Ripley of the Santa FEE sys-
tenn and his party of assistants in
that roads management was one,
as u result of which, much good
may come to San Angelo and
West Texas.
The committee Of business men
who entertained the party while
in this city took advantage Of the
opportunity TO remind President
Ripley Of San Angeles need Of n
double daily passenger service
and n new depot The Press feels
confident that it is only II matter
of time until both these improv-
ed facilities are afforded San
Angelo.
President Ripley is the sort of
man one is compelled to admire.
He is at the head of one of the
greatest railway systems in the
world, yet he is neither naughty
no excessively imbued with feel
ing of superiority. lie is demo-
cratic in the extreme. He gets
out of his travelling palace to take
the hands of those of his most OBJ
scure workers. He visits the work
shop, foundry, round house, sta
tion and cab, just the same as he
doesgeneral and division headquar-
tiers. He has a kindly smile and
and a hearty handshake for all of
the great SYSTEMS employees
from the general manager to the
boiler maker.
Mr.. Ripley's kindly face is an
inspiration. lie looks at the
bright side of life, is conserva-
tive yet optimistic in his appraise-
ments of the value of man or
of n city. His lines have fallen
in pleasant places yet only 10y
dint Of hard work and keeping
everlastingIy at it is he where he
is today.
Mr.. Ripley acknowledges the
justice of San Angeles claims.
He thinks two trains II day will
come in but a short time. He
would say nothing definite on the
subject yet there is a feeling
among those who saw him and
talked with him that President
Ripley's visit to San Angelo will
be worth much to this section,
The Press shares this feeling anC
firmly believes that by May 1
1908, two passenger trains day
will be running between Brown
wood and San Angelo. AnC
when this is done a better depot
will come as a matter of course
You may look for it.

Want 10 Talk TO the LADIES'

Women buy the greater part of
things for the home, groceries,
dry goods, furniture and stoves
and crockery and are the ones
whom dealers in such wares
should direct their store news
The women Of San Angelo and
the Concho Country almost in
variably prefer The Press to any
other newspaper circulating i'll
this section. This is no idle
statement. 1t is deliberately
made and will stand the test &.
Ask your lady customers, Mr.,
Merchant. They will tell you
and you will have the satisfaction
of knowing directly from them.
When you have done this you
may profit by use of the columns
of The Press, This paper has a
circulation in San Angelo and
Tom Green county greater than
any other advertising medium
circulating here. There certainly
must be u reason for this, and
and there is. You don't have to
search far to find 1T.

A Tobacco Legend.

An ethnologist tells an interesting
story as to how tobacco was first OBJ
tained by man, according to the tra-
dltions of the Menominee Indians
Zone day the god hero, ManabOzo,
was on journey, when he perceived
a delightful odor. 1t seemed to come
from a crevice in the cliffs high up on
mountain side. On going closer he
found cavern which was occupied by
giant. In fact, the giant was the
tenant of the mountain, and from the
mouth of the cave passage led down
into the very center Of the hill, where
there was large chamber. Around
the chamber were stacked great guam
titles of bags filled with curious dried
leaves. From the leaves proceeded
the delicious fragrance.
"These leaves were tobacco. Once
year, the giant explained, all of the
spirits came to the mountain for the
purpose Of smoking this exquisite weed.
But it was not possible to give any OF
it away" said the ethologist. "Nev-
ertheless Manabozo watched for an
opportunity and, snatching up one OF
the bags, fed, closely pursued by the
giant. The thief leaPed from peak to
peak, but the giant followed so fast as
to finally overtake him. So ManabOzo
turned upon him and, upbraiding him
for his stinginess, transformed him in
to grasshopper.
"That is the reason why the grass
hopper is always chewing tobacco
Manabozo took the bagful of leaves
and distributed them among bis
friends, the ancestors of the Indians
of today. Since then they have had
the use and enjoyment of the plant. "

A Rip-Van-WlnkIe incident.

It's been a long time since the CIV
il War, but echoes of that great con-
fict are still heard in the land. One
curious incident occurred in Baltimore
only the other day that was a sequel
to another happening of 80 years ago.
1t was Immediately after peace had
been declared that two Confederate
veterans, who had been released from
Fort Lookout, on the Chesapeake,
started to walk to their homes on the
western shore of Maryland. They
walked ali the long April forenoon,
but when the sun got high in the
heavens one of the travellers grew
weary and decided that he would lie
down on the grassy bank and take a
nap.
The other one was anxious to get
home and see the family he had been
60 long parted from, and so he bade
his comrade farewell and went his way.
And that was 80 years ago. In
the Intervening time the soldiers new
er met, but the other day, as the man
who had persisted, foOtsOre and weary,
in going on his way, passed down
Charles street be encountered the man
who had lain down by the roadside to
rest. They were young men when
they parted, and now they are elderly
and gray, but they recognized each
other none the less, and held out
welcoming hands, eagerly to be grasp
ed.
The man who had gone on spoke
first. Ibid you have a good naPY'
he asked gravely.

A Double Resurrection.

General Barlow of the Union army
fell wOulded and, it was thought, dy-
ing during the first day of the battle
Of Gettysburg and within the Confed-
crate lines. General Gordon, canter-
ing by, saw him and recognized him.
DismOunting, be approached the pros
trate man and inquired what he could
do for him.
81 am dying" said Barlow "Just
reach into my coat pocket, draw out a
letter you find there and read it to
me. 1t is from my wife"
Gordon read the letter.
Nov, genera" said Barlow, please
destroy that letter. want You to
notify her-she is in the town over
yOnder-what has happened to me. "
81 will, replied Gordon.
He sent for Mrs Barlow giving her
safe conduct through the southern
lines, and ,hen rode away. certain that
Barlow's death was a question Of only
few hours at most.
But Barlow did not die. His wife
came promptly and had him removed
to the town of Gettysburg where she
nursed him so faithfully that be re-
covered.
Many years passed until one night
both general were guests at dinner
in Washington. Some one brought
them together and formally introduced
them. Time had altered the person
al appearance of both.
Are you any relation to the Gen
eral Barlow who was killed at Gettys-
burg ?" asked Gordon.
"Yes very near relation, an
swered Barlow, with a laugh. 81 am
the very man who was killed. But ]
have been informed that man named
Gordon lost his life in battle later on.
He saved my life at Gettysburg. Are
you any kin to that man2'
Il am he" was the reply.
Both heroes laughed as they gave
each other a heartier handshake.

A Greater Man Than Moses.

Few generals were so beloved and
revered by their soldiers as Stonewall
Jackson, the great tanker, was BY
his His simplicity, strength, daring,
skill and indomitable will endesred
him to his troops, while his successes
reused their admiration. Whenever
great cheering was heard in Jacksons 8
camp those who were detained from
being present at the occasion would
say Here comes either jackson or
an old rabbit r.
While in camp and winter quarters,
Jackson's soldiers INDUCED in iocular
stories-"c camp stories, as they were
called, made up by them about their
general.
"Stonewall died, RAJ one OF these
stories, "and two angels came down
from heaven to take him back with
them. They went to his tent-he
was not there; they went to the pray
er.meeting-he was not there. So
they had to return without him. But
when they came to heaven they found
that he had made a flank march and
had reached heaven ahead of them"
Another story was this:
The soldiers declared that Gen.
Jackson was greater than Moses.
ut took Noses they said, forty
years to lead the Israelites through
the wilderness, with mama to teed
them on; Stonewall Jackson would
have doubled.quicked them through
it in three days on half rations.
At one time, when Jackson's camp
was on the southern bank Of the Rap
pahannock and that Of the tederals
on the northern bank of that river, a
friendly iutercourse-not only con-
fined to the exchange Of coffee and to-
bacco-existed between the outpost'
of the two armies, and friendly greet
ings were often exchanged across the
river. One day, when Jackson rode
along the river and the Confederate
troops ran together, as was their GUS
tom, to greet him with a yell, the
Federal pickets shouted across the
river, asking what it was all about
"Stonewall is coming, was the reply
and Immediately, to Jsckson'8 aston
ishment, the cry "Hurrah for Stone
wall Jackson !" rang out from th'
Federal ranks. Thus the voice o
north and south, prophetic of time
of renewed unity, mingled in accla
nation of a great soldier.
