BEEF took great tumble, but
the consumer noticed no change
in the price of .beefsteaks. Now
they tell us wheat has taken a big
tumble, but a sack of -four costs
just as much. Strange, isn't it?

PALESTINE, TEXAS, MAY II, 1905.
HE NEVER BLAMED THE BOOZE.

He took bottle up to bed,
Drank whisky hot each night;
Drank cocktails in the morning,
But never could get tight.
: He shivered in the evening,
And always had the blues
Until he took bowl or two
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full of rheumatic;
His appetite was slack;
He had pains between his shoulders;
Chills ran down his back.
He suffered with insomnia;
At night he couldn't snooze.
He said it was the climate
But he never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down
ct was overwork he said);
His legs were swelled each morning,
And he often had swelled head,
He tackled, beer, wine, whisky,
And if they didn't fuse
He blamed it on dyspepsia
But he never blamed the booze.
He claimed he hardly slept at night,
And always had bad dreams;
He claimed he often lay awake
Till early sunrise beams.
He thought it was malaria
Alasl twas but ruse.
He blamed it on most everything
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping,
And his kidneys had the govt;
He swallowed lots of bitters,
Till at last he cleaned them out.
His legs we're swelled with dropsy,
Till he had to cut his shoes;
He blamed it on the doctor
But he never blamed the booze.
Then he hah the tremens,
And he tackled rats and snakes;
First he had the fever,
Then he had the shakes.
At last he had funeral,
And, to give him his just dues,
The epitsph carved for him was
"He never blamed the BOOZE"

THERE is no reasonable excuse

THERE is no reasonable excuse
for any man living in a town he
does not like. Even business
motives should not prompt him to
live there. Better make a little
sacrifice, and get out than live on
in a place you do not like. Of
course this advice does not apply
to anyone in Palestine, for it is a
good old town, and most people
who move away come back again.

An Alleged Contract.
In the latest issue OF the Tar Heel,
weekly Republican publication of
Greensboro, there was published on the
front page an alleged contract entered
into between five leaders of the machine
and one H S. Anderson. in which the
former agree TO secure him a position
in Washington. The contract is as fol-
lows:
We agree: First, to do all in on
power TO secure II s. Anderson the
position of assistant attorney In one of
the departments at Washington. at
salary OF not less than s.. 500 per annum.
Failing in this We will secure him some
other place equally as good: that We
