A Lad, His Father and A Lesson.

A lad was in the field with his
father and they had stopped a
moment at the end of the row to
rest. Down the lane came a cover
ed wagon and the driver drew rein
and the boy saw it was a neighbor
with his family. The driver said to
the boys father: Well, l am
going to leave this country and l
am glad to get out of it. There are
50 many mean people here that, |
am going to shake the dust of this
neighborhood off my feet forever. "
The father leaned OH his hoe mo-
ment and said: well, friend, you
will find mean people wherever
you go. You cannot get rid of
them" And the toilers went on
with their work, and later, when
they were at the lane again yet
another covered wagon came along
the dusty way and the driver stop
ped to speak to them. He said:
NeighbOr, l am leaving this coun-
try with heavy heart. There are
so many good people here and they
have been so kind 20 me and mine
that it Is a sore trial to leave. "
And the boy 5 father smiled and an
swered: Never fear, good friend,
you will find good people every
where. They will gather around
you in your new home and you
will find them just as true and
good as you have here among us
Goodbye, and God bless you"
The lad has long reached the years
of maturity, but he has never for
gotten the lesson taught him that
fine June morning when his heart
was young and the birds sang in
the trees and the smell of the young
corn filled his nostrils. And the
lesson is, You find what you
seek" The lad, now a man in the
battle of life. finds a friend on
every hand for he keeps his face to

A GOVERNOR IN VAUDEVILLE
Tenne0ee's Former Leader. Bob" Tay
lor. to Make Stage Debut.

The appearance of a former Gov
ernor of one Of the largest Statei
Of the Union on the stage of ;
music hall is the startling and orig
inal feature which will be present
cd for the edihcation Of New
York's theater-going public in the
near future. The former holder oil
/ Democratic Gubernatorial honors
is Bob TAYLOR of Tennessee, whose
career in Western politics is well
known.
As a violinist with a bright mon
ologue called The Fiddle and the
Bow, he is billed to appear in
true vaudeville style on the stage
of the Colonial Music Hall, at
Broadway and Sixty Second street.
This is perhaps the first time that
any politician as well known as
Nj. Taylor has had the temerity
to face the white lights in a TIE
alter, but when the offer was made
the former Governor accepted il
with delight His first appearance
will bp made on the evening of
February 20.
Bob" Taylor was born in Ten
nessee and was twice elected Gov
ernor Of the State, defeating his
brother, Albert, who ran against
him on the Republican ticket. At
the same time his father was the
nominee of the Prohibition party,
presenting a situation unique in
the politics Of this country. Our
Bob, as he is known throughout
Tennessee, won his first campaign
by the aid of The Fiddle and the
Bow" This he delivered from
platforms where his brother had
pleaded the Republican cause but
a few seconds before. The former
Governor is also well known to
patrons of the turf in this city, as
he owns a large racing stable and
rides his own mounts in the
steeplechases, having won a race
at Bennings in April, 1904, on his
horse Tireless. That same year he
was thrown at Morris Park and
severely injured. New York Even

a prsPArcn from Corpus Christ

A DISPATCH from Corpus Christi
to the Galveston News, says II may
be an item of news to state that ar
rangements are about perfected for
building a canal from Rio Grande
Ci1, on the Rio Grande river, TO
Raymondville, that will nearly
treble the Panama Canal in length.
The main line of the canal will be
IN length l24 miles and the various
laterals viii aggregate about eight
hundred miles. This Is a mammoth
undertaking, bat that is the scale
on which things are accomplished
IN the lower Rio Grande country.
You viii hear more Of this and
other important enterprises a little

cheaper than a wife. If this is all,
when a young man calls to see a
lady, send him into the pantry to
taste the bread and cakes she has
made; send him 10 inspect the
needlewOrk and bed-making, or put
a broom into her hands and send
him to witness its use. Such
things are important and the wise
young man will quietly look after
them. But what the true man most
wants of a wife is her companion
ship, sympathy and love. The
way of life has made dreary places
in it and man needs a companion
to go with him. A man is some
times overtaken by misfortune; he
meets with failure and defeat; trials
and temptation beset him, and he
needs one to stand BY him and
sympathize. He has some stern
battles TO fight with poverty, with
enemies and with sin, and he needs
a woman that, while he puts his
arm around her ind feels that he
has something to fight for, will
help him fight; who will put her
lips to his ear and whisper words
of counsel and her hand to his
heart and impart new Inspirations.
All through life-through storm
and Though sunshine, conflict and
victory; adverse and favorable
winds-man needs a woman's love.
The heart yearns for it. A sisters
and a mothers love will hardly
supply the need. Yet, many seek
for nothing further than success in
homework. Justly enough, half
of these get nothing more. The
other half, surprised above meas
ure, obtain more than sought.
Their wives surprise them by bring
ing a nobler idea of marriage and
disclosing a treasury Npf courage,
sympathy and love.

AFTER a thorough trial, the pub
lie schools of many of the larger
cities of the North have discarded
the vertical system of writing and
will return TO the use of the slant
ing style. The vertical system has
been found wanting in several ways.
1t is not so practical as the slanting
method, as il cannot be written so
rapidly, and il has been found so
easy to initiate that banks are re-
fusing TO accept signatures written
in vertical letters. II has the effect
of destroying all individuality Of
style in writing and make il very
difficult to identify the writing of
any individual using that system
SO the vertical method is being
counted out and it appears prob
able that il will be generally dis
carded in favor of the slanting
characters. This does not mean
that the system known as the
Spencerian will be re-installed, as
some changes of a practical nature
are evident in the new style of
slanting penmanships. 1t is re-
grettable that the change to the
vertical system was ever adopted
in the public schools, since it must
now be discarded. 1t has been in
use Just about long enough TO
cause the present generation of
school children TO become thor
oughly accustomed 10 it, and it
will probably be very difficult for
them to change. The handwriting
of most these children will doubt
less be more or less marked for life
by the training which they have
had in the vertical style.

THE following from the Corpus
Crony is about our ideas on the
subject mentioned.
Every nostrum patented and sold
in Texas must be labeled with its
formula, that is a list of the drugs
in il and how they are proportional,
If House Bill No SO, introduced
by Withcrspoon Of Quanah, be-
comes law. The Crony has rcceiv-
ed a number Of requests 10 oppose
the bill because il would stop the
sale of patent medicines in the
State and thus deprive the country
papers OF the revenues now derived
from advertising them. A country
paper that cannot get along
without the paltry cut-prices it gets
for patent medicine advertising,
should be stopped. If the propos-
ed law will bankrupt every paper
which charges its local merchant
more for space than it charges any
alien quack, the bill should become
law just for the benefit of decent
journalism.

Did Lincoln Say III

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer can
not find any authentic record that
! Lincoln ever made the remark
Familiarity attributed to him about
the impossibility of fooling all the
time. Col. Hay, who went over
Lincoln speeches, papers, letters
and recorded sayings with minute
care while writing Lincoln's bio
graphy, is quoted as saying that
he never came across that remark.
Librarian Spofford, a great re-
positary of detailed knowledge
about American statesmen, believes
that the man who said what was
said about fooling the people was
not Lincoln at all, but Phineas T.
Barnum, who had a long and
eminently successful experience
with the people and was entitled to
rank as an authority on popular
gullibility. II does not matter. The
thing said was a good and useful
thing who ever said il. Deserving
remarks are apt to be attributed TO
deserving men who might have
said them. Harper Weekly.
