A TRuE so1p1ER,s BOOK.

The impression that the enlisted men of the regular army are ne'er-do-wells who are in the service because they
 are incompetent to earn the wages of civil employment is a vulgar error that dies hard. Every one knows that skilled workers and even professional men are and ever have been found in large numbers in the ranks of volun- .teer regiments. Theodore Winthrop described the versatility displayed by the Eighth Massachusetts on it's march from Annapolis to Washington by say ing that had its colonel ordered poets and composers to step two paces to the front he would not have been sur prised. That the present day regular regiments have their full share of men who are clever at crafts and trades is evidenced by a book recently issued, The History of the Thirteenth Regi- ment United States Infantry" It was written by Captain McAlexander of the Thirteenth, and bears the imprint of
 the "Regimental Press. All. the type
 setting and other mechanical labor in- cidental to it's production was done by the on-commissioned officers and en- listed men of the regiment, who re- verted to their old civil callings for the occasion, Few other armies raised by voluntary enlistment could probably make such a demonstration of indus trial skill, The "regimental press is a good idea An army with printing presses is more terrible than an army with banners Boston Transcript.

Three constitutional amend
ments are to be voted upon at
the next state election by the
people of Texas, action to that
effect having been taken by the
recent state legislature. One
of these amendments provides
for the increase of the legisla-
tive salary to 81, 900 per annum,
and the way the people of Texas
will tlatten out that proposition
will be a holy caution, and it
will be a fitting rebuke to the
men who sprung it. AS an ex-
ira inducement to have the peo-
pie adopt this amendment, it
provides that members of the
state Legislature elected under
the provisions of the proposed
new amendment shall not accept
free passes from the RAILWAYS.
To man up tree it looks very
much like an effort on the part
of the members of the state leg
islature to have the people pay
them to be good.-Fort Worth

a VERY GOOD INVESTMENT-A HOME IN RANDALL
Home of Alfalfa.

w. S. Marshall, proprietor
Willow Springs ranch, near
Charming, favored us with
sample of alfalfa showing roots
as grown on his ranch in Hartley
county, and corrects the erron-
eous idea held by many that al
falfa does not grow well in
country where the roots do not
reach water. He says the plants
sent US, and now on exhibition
in the Herald Office was taken
from among Johnson grass,
grown in the typical deep mari
soil of the plains, and was grown
from seed planted April, 1900.
The land was never inoCulated,
yet the plants showed, when
freshly dug, the characteristic
nodules of the nitrogen gather
ing bacteria, demon ting that
the soil is natural alfalfa soil.
One acre of alfalfa will pasture
and cut hay for ten hogs, which
thrive finely on it. One acre of
alfalfa, properly set and we'll
cared for is worth to a ranch
man in this county, $40. The
sooner the ranchmen and farm
ers become convinced that al
falfa is at home on these plains
soil, the sooner will this Pan
handle country be better ap-
preCiated and come to its own.
Mr.. Marshall is thoroughly con.
vinced that alfalfa is one of the
most profitable and useful crops
Of this county, and advocates it
on every occasion. He has one
of the prettiest and most pro.
tita BILE ranches and herds in the
Panhandle, and we'll deserves
the success he has attained
