Mr.. Fcx's Toilet.
Magazine.

On one trip through the Ken
tucky mountains performed by Joho
Fox, Jr., in pursuit of local color
he stopped overnight at a cabin,
where be slept up next to the clap
boards and went down a ladder to
breakfast. He washed his face in a
creek below the house and died it
on a siding of coffee sack hung
against the logs for family use and
combed his hair with his own coub
before piece Of broken glass stuck
between the chinking ard daubing.
As be was making his toilet he
was closely observed by. the small
boy of the family, who was clothed
in 8 pair of cottonsde pants hitched
to hickory shirt. with one 'gallus
fastened by a nail. Shoes and hat
we're lacking, and bis hair hadn't
been combed for six weeks. he
watched the visitor 80 closely that
Mr.. Fox thought be was making an
excellent impression on the young
barbarian. As be put on the last
touch the boy, unable to contain him
self longer, broke in.
"Say, mister" be inquired, "ain't
you a good deal of trouble to yer.

a kentucky Heroine.
She Got Her Hero Out Of the
Army and Married Hin.

MacoH leieSIdpn.
a recent Washington dispatch
contains the brief outline of one of
the pretsiest love stories of real life
shat has come to our notice IN some
time. The two principals ere young
Kentuckiaos of good family. The
man wanted to bs q soldier, and as
he failed to get commissiop,. be
enlisted anyhow, hoping to rise from
the ranks. But there was not much
fighting and little chance for dis
tipction, and after a fair trial of the
dull routine as q common soldier in
barracks, be saw that he had made a
mistake and decided to come home,
choose more attractive and profta-
BILE career, and marry the girl he
loved.
But owing to the diff Guilty of
inducing young men to 60 to the
Philippines and the increasing num-
Der OF desertions from the army, his
application for discharge was refused
as is the almost invariable rule for
the reasons stated. Here the girl ia
the case made herself felt. She
boldly announced her determination
to go to the Philippines, marry pher
colder and share with him the hard
ships of his life there. Being of age
and girl of her word, this caused
Consideration among the members OF
her family. The rest of the story is
thus told:
Her father, in panic, wrote to
Senator McCreary, stating the case,
assuring the Senator that he could
not control his daughter and saying
that the rash determination must be
thwarted at any cost. The senator
posted to the war department as
soon as he got the letter, and laid the
matter before Secretary Root. The
secretary delibersted for while and
called in Gen. Young and they read
the letter together. e.
''We're not granting discharges"
said the secretary, slowly, but this
seems to be a case where we can't
help it."
"sApd it is case of such urgency
that it demands the use of tbe-cable
instead of the mails said Gen.
Young. This young woman seems
very determined. She might not
wait
"Whereupon the cablegram was
sent, and at the same time Senator
Nc Creary telegraphed his friend in
Kentucky that the daughter need
not CO.
A girl who is ready to leave luxu-
ries behind and 20 to the Philippines
to share the lot of a common soldier
is a girl really in love-thsn which
there is nothing sweeter in all this
world of selfshness and greed.
There is go much marrying for
money, position and fear OF hard
ships, that the story of this Ken
tucky heroine is inspiring. We hope
her released soldier is worthy Of her
and that they will soon achieve their
hearts desire and be happy ever
after"

TOYS and CHRISTMAS GOODS FROM THE old TOWN DRUG STORE CHRISTMAS
Madame Is Here.

Madame, that beautiful magazine
"for women who Think put in its
appearance today, aud is a welcome
visitor to the homes of hundreds of
Herald readers. The Christmas num-
Der eclipses all others, and is trimming
over with all sorts of things of es-
pecial interest to women, and many
features of interest to men as well.
The Christmas number of the Pic
torisl Review has also arrived.
These two publications are the very
best Of their class, and the two are
sent to Herald subscribers for one
year absolutely free. The only string
to this proposition is, you pay $50 for
six months subscription to the Daily
Herald, and you get as a premium
$3.50 worth of magazines.
These would make elegant Christ
mas presents.

A Cutting Scrape.

A cutting scrape took place last
night about nine miles out on the Ten =
nessee Colony road, in which two
brothers named Graham were both
seriously cut. A companion on the
trip with them has been arrested.
1t appears that the three boys had
been to sawmill together, and were
on the return trip when trouble grew
up between them, and this led to the
cutting.
DIR. Ed Link went out early this
morning and dressed the wounds. Cne
of the boys was cut on the neck and
face and the other was cut on the arm.
Neither is fatally hurt.

NOTHING is
The MATTER
With Palestine as Shown by the
HeraId's Annual Holiday
Edition.

The annual holiday edition of the
Anderson County Herald, our weekly
edition, came out of the press yester-
day, and we think it effectuslly an
swers all inquiry as to what is the mat
ter with Palestine. The answer, too,
is a most favorable one, and the old
town seems to be all right.
The edition consists of sixteen pages,
all home print, and is printed in five
colors, making handsome paper. In
it there are forty-one columns of good
reading matter, including the tele-
graphic news of the world, miscellany
reading, editorial, local and two spicy
short stories.
There are FIFTY-FIvE COLUMNS of
live, new and seasonable advertising,
eighty-six Palestine firms being rep
resented. These ads are from the
representative firms of the city, and
from people who want your business
and who will appreciate it.
The HERALD is proud of this edition,
and believes it is one of the hand
soonest publications ever turned out in
East Texas, and we are not afraid of
comparisons or criticisms.
In the meantime our daily edition is
doing a good business, and offers an
inviting field to the holiday trade. If
you want to reach the people of Pales-
tine you should get in the HERALD
the paper with the circulation.

Funeral This Afternoon.

The remains of little Helen Fore
were inferred this afternoon at 5
O'Clock, and a large concourse of
friends were present and followed the
corpse to the cemetery.
"Another little lamb has gone
To dwell with Him who gave;
Another little darling babe
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst His shining band,
And so He bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand"

An investigation recently made by
a praticsl sociologist with reference
to the average value Of estates is inter
esting. The investigation covers
about half Of the state Of New York.
From 10000 persons above 26 years
Of age who died during three months,
6,649 left no estate. OF the remain.
ing 1851 only 1874 left an estate as
much as 5000. The average value
Of the other estates was $l,202. 1t
will be seen that over sixty per cent
left no estate whatever, twenty-five
per cent left less than IS, 900 and less
than nine per cent left as much as
$751; Surely an investigation of
this nature is the strongest kiud Of
argument In favor Of life protection.

E. w. Hoch; ''Without reference
to party or faction, every one whose
bosom throbs with the common hui
man sympathies must feel sad over
the fate that has befallen Senator Bur.
ton. He was gifted man. He is al
most brilliant In his intellectually.
TO see such a star eclipsed is painful
to every normal soul. To witness
such calamity to brother man is &C.
casion for profound sorrow. Only
ghouls rejoice in such castrophies.
Only those capable Of worse crimes
than they condemn are glad when
such fate bsfalls an erring fellow
being. Especially will all be sorry
for the accomplished and lovely lady
who bears the Senator's name and
must bear, also, full share Of his
shame"

Persecution and Prosecution.

The Wichita Eagle voices q very
common impression in Kansas that
Senator Burton, no matter how guilty
he'msy have been, did not get fair
deal at the hands OF prosecution.
The Eagle starts with the statement
that 1t believes "a big percent Of all
the congressman and senators for q
hundred years have been guilty Of the
act for which Burton is the first to be
convicted. 1t is possible, 1t says,
that many Of them did not receive
money for their services; that they
were oftener paid in political favors.
But wherein, it asks, should it be
more criminal for a senator to tske
money for bis influence than to use
the sane influence for pay in the form
Of political support Continuing,
the Eagle says:
"The Eagle has never been Bur
ton advocate. 1t has, in fact, been
against him and his whole crowd.
But admitting that Burton Is guilty
as charged, his con viction should have
been regular and without prejudice.
Dragooning a jury won't 60 down
with the average American, even
where q real crime has been COM
mitted. There is always plenty Of
time for new trial. Burton's crime
was more a violation OF the letter
than Of the spirit Ct the law, and no
extra spirit should have been inject
ed into the case by the prosecution,
much less by the presiding judge.
This is not intended as defense Of
Burton. We say it because Of the
impression that in Burton's downfall,
involving humiliation, ignominy aud
life disgrace, there seems to have
been too much OF persecution mixed
up with prosecution"

Of by cordially. 1t was in the air. In
the atmosphere. understood from one
end Of this big country to the other,
that his conviction was desir d be-
cause 1t was Burton and for the
salutary effect it would have on other
senators and representatives who
might be guilty Of similar practices
in order to piece out meager salaries.
Guilty? Probably he is guilty. A
fair jury presided over by fair court
has said that he is and that will settle
IL In the heart and mind OF the coun-
try. And yet the court seemed need
lessly harsh. 1t seemed from the
start that the court was eager to con-
vict, and its last talk to a juror who
was slow to capitulate was mandatory
as to him. On the same evidence a
charitable court, charitable jury,
jury probably in any other city in the
United States than St. Louis, would
have given the defendant the benefit
Of the doubt and acquitted him. He
had been punished enough; he saw
through different lenses. We believe
he intended to 60 just as far as he
could but never to overstep the law.
He needed the money; was frank to
say SO, but In taking it asked the
good offices Of Kansas friend in the
department to warn him if he was in
danger Of going too far. He over
stepped and now comes the penalty.
Whether it was intentional or not is
neither here nor there except SO far
as the public is concerned. II the
public thinks him the victim OF un-
Just circumstances it will override
the mandates OF all the courts and
give him another show. He is still
able, PLAUSIBLE, and il courageous
to the end, no one can prophesy as to
the final outcome. This part OF the
state is his home. The Times circu-
lates largely among his old friends,
neighbors and acquaintance. Let
US be charitable and kind, extending
to him and his strong little wife the
free hand Of friendship. They may
need it later even more than they do
now. Show them that where best
known there is still coincidence. Be
their friends in stormy as we'll as
pleasant weather.
