OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

Judge VIM. Poindexter of
Cleburne, has an article in the
August Lantern dealing in no
uncertain way with what be
Justly terms our patched judi
ciary system" The view be
takes of it, as it now stands,
and the remedies be proposes,
in the main, are not new by any
means, but they are we'll along
IN the line of betterment AMI
therefore worthy of thoughtful
consideration by the citizens of
Texas. That our readers may
Judge of this matter The News
gives Judge PoindeXter' : meth
DDS of treatment As follows:
/. Change the system of
pleading in the trial courts.
Require the plaintiff to state
each ground upon which he re-
lies for recovery in separate
paragraph of his petition, and
under the pains and penalties OF
perjury, require HIM to make
oath to the truth of eacn para
graph. Require the defendant
in his answer 10 reply to each
paragraph contained in the petit
tion aud TO admit or deny each
under oath. and if be seeks to
avoid any part of it, require
same to be made under oath.
Let this rule apply 10 pleadings
in every kind and character of
spit in the county and district
courts.
The effect of this would be
far reaching. 1t would mater
rally reduce the hum Der OF suits
brought, it would force the par
ties and their attorneys by their
pleadings TO define and single
out 10 advance the issues to De
tried; it would lessen the evil
dence TO be introduced and limit
the trial to the real issues thus
made. This would simplify and
shorten litigation, and enable
trial courts to dispose of twice
the amount of civil business
they are able to under present
conditions, and make it pc: sible
10 reduce instead Of increase the
number of district judges.
?. Limit reversals on ques-
tons Of law 10 those raised at
the time by bills of exceptions,
and prohibit the Supreme Court
from reversing any case on any
such question not thus repre-
scented. This would decrease
the number of appeals and ma
terially lessen the number Of re-
versals.
g. abolish the present ex
pensive and bunglesome method
of appealing cases and require
all appeals to be prosecuted by
petition TO the Supreme Court
for writs of error, allowing so
much OF the record to be sent
up as is necessary 10 make plain
the question on which the writ |
is sought.
4. abolish the Courts Of
Civil Appeals and increase the
number of Supreme Judges,
making the Supreme Court large
enough TO hear and determine
promptly all cases brought J

CHANGE THE MENU,
Don't Have the Same Thing Owe
art. Over In the Same way.

DonHt Have the SHINE Thing Over
and Over In the Same Way.
SO many housekeepers make the mis-
take of having regular schedules which
they follow for the week. Yet too much
Importance cannot be laid upon con-
slant change.
Mutton Mondays, beef Tuesdays, and
so on, coming regularly, week after
week, certainly isn't conducive to ap-
petite, especially If it's at all finicky.
It's bad enough for the house mother
to know every one of the "twenty-one
meals week. in advance, but unless
It's absolutely necessary the same Sc
quences of meals should be avoided.
Boarding houses nearly always have
regular meats regular nights-a mis-
take that is got into by the effort for a
system. But system isn't in having the
same things over and over again in the
same way. There's system in constant
change, especially in constant change
in menu.
Another mistake on the same lines
Is made usually by the very young
housekeeper, and that is in dishing up
the left overs" at the very next meal,
instead of giving the palate time to for
get.
Change, change, change. Doctors and
taste agree in preaching that, for
health and strength have their founda-
tions in appetite, and appetite depends
largely upon change.

Seed Corn Special Assured.

1t is officially annon need that ar
engagements have been completed for
the corn special to be run over the
Northwestern lines in Iowa some
time in March. The Northwestern
company will give this train stops
OF thirty minutes each being made
at every station on the Iowa North
western lines. Prof. P. G.. Holden,
Secretary Wells and others will
lecture to the farmers on the value
OF good corn and good seed in gen.
eral. Superintendent Whalen, local
newspaper men, representatives of
the Des Moines dailies, the editors
of the three agricultural papers in
Iowa and such business men as the
special can accommodate will accom-
pany the train on its tour of this
state. The special will be made up of
three coaches and a business car and
the trip will require several days.
The farmers along the Northwest
ern line will be notified of this train
and a schedule will be published
broadcast so that all will have an
opportunity of listening and thereby
profting by these lectures. A year
ago this was tried on one of the Iowa
railroads and was very successful
the farmers showing their apprecia-
tion by turning out in large num-
bers. Much good was the result.
Next spring if all the railroads fol-
low the plan of the Northwestern
practically every farmer in Iowa will
be given an opportunity of hearing
these lecturersandan untold amount
Of good will be done.

Representative Needham of Cali

Representative Needham of Cali

wagon in Carson City, New, while
his father and mother were on their
way across the plains to California.
When Needham first ran for con-
gress in California he was opposed
by the members of that strong Cali

Of the Golden West. 1t was stated
that Needham was not native Cali

THE CHILDREN.

Try reasoning with children instead
Of scolding them.
A baby's weight ut five months should
be double its weight at birth.
Tell your children white lies and they
will soon hand you back the other
color.
Baby's food should be always admin
istered at regular hours to avoid indi-
geStion.
Spray the children's throats OCCASION
ally with n very weak solution of car
bolic acid and water.
A little application of the old fash
ioned maxim about the wisdom of 60
ing to bed early might do good deal
to solve the problem Of the city child's
nervousness.
When baby pulls at his ear or cries
sharply and presses his head against
his mother let her beware Of earache,
q common but dangerous complaint in
very young children.

M.kine or Marring a Room.

Color makes or mars room, and
many inexpensive houses have been
made successful by the intelligent
use Of this powerful factor. Harmoni-
GUS coloring does not necessarily imply
q room where everything matches. The
blue rooms of the eighties, where walls,
carpets, curtains. lambrequins and up
holstery were all one shade, exist to-
day only in fiction. They were never
cheerful, imparting by some subtle
power their own indigo colorings to
the moods of the occupants.
The blue room pure and simple is
not now in favor. But we are ull fa-
miliar with the very green room. Green
is natures own color, and none other
is SO restful, SO desirable, but 1t can be
abused. Nature makes use of russets,
Of yellow browns. of red browns, of
bronze shades, of grays, of soft pur-
pies, of pomegranate tones. These may
be transferred to the walls Of our
houses, and if rightly placed are very
effective.-House Beautiful.

Two New States In Prospect.

The next important business on
the Senate calendar after the Philip
pine improvement measure was the
bill providing for the admission of
two new States into the Union. Few
people, either in Congress or out
side Of it, seem to understand how
much more important the admission
of a new State to the Union is than
almost any other possible business
that can come before Congress.
Tariffs can be made and unmade,
and most other matters of legisla-
lion are subject to amendment or
repeal from time to time. But
hasty or ill-advised action in admit
ting a State to the Union is irrevoc-
able. At the very moment the
whole moral sense Of the community
is aroused by questions arising out
Of the mistake that was made in ad-
mitting Utah at a time when it
would have been far better to keep
Utah in the territorial condition.
In the Presidential election, in
November, Nevada cast total OF
ll,S26 votes. The admission Of
Nevada to the Union was a fearful
mistake, for which the Constitution
offers no remedy. The present bill
provides for the restoration of the
permanent lines of the Indian Ter
ritory that has been temporarily
broken up by the granting Of a
territorial form of government to a
portion of the Territory ander the
name of Oklahoma. To the area
thus restored the name of Oklahoma
is to be given. There are people
enough and other conditions Justify
the admission of Oklahoma as ar.
ranged for in the Senate bill, which
affords dae protection to the rights
of the Indian tribes. The bill alss
unites the Territories of Arizonf
and New Mexico, and admits them
as one State under the name of Ari
zona. These Territories, it il
true, are not ripe for admission to
the Union, whether separately o.
Jointly; but there are some reasons
why the matter may as we'll be set
tied once for all. The chief ad
vantage in admitting Arizona and
New Mexico now as a single State
would be that this would end the
mischievous political agitation fol
their separate admission,-a schem,
fostered chiefly by selfish privat,
interests. There is now good rea
son to believe that the Statehood
bill, as duly reported from tn.
Senate Committee on Territories
will become a law during the presen
session. From "The Progress o

Don't wear your rings all the time.
Leave them off while working, writing
or sleeping. If worn constantly they
deaden the expression of the hand.
The slightest pressure pushes back i'm
pulse. This is the chief evil of modern
dressing.
Don't, If your past has been densely
populated and your heart sentimental,
make an emotional junk shop Of your
hand with unrelated souvenirs.
Don't wear all of your rings at the
same time. Save costly gems for spe-
cial occasions.
Don't wear too many plain circles.
Complex and pointed effects running
up the hand help expression, while
straight lines shorten the fingers.

CARE OF THE NOSE.
This Feature Needs Special Attentio

that he feels much obliged to the

who is lO4 years old, is feeling very
well indeed. He says he has no de-
