AMERICAN EMPRESS.

When the Trinity and Brazos Val

into Houston the express service will
be under the auspices of the Ameri-

ment in an afternoon paper to the
effect that another company would
operate over this road is denied by

The American Express Compan

Mexia for period of two years, an
Mr. Teetshorn says that simply be
cause the road is to be extended i
no reason for another express com

have originated Mr.. Teetshorn was
unable to say, but he was positive in
his affirmation that the American

No Cause For Complaint.

Gently retired, was talking one day at
League Island navy yard about dis
content anon gthe soldiers and sailors.
Men are often disconnected with
out reason" he said, "but oftener they
have good ground for their grumbling,
and it is because their officers are
stupid or lazy that conditions do not

II remember once visiting a POM

During my visit private approach
ed the officer with full cup and sau-
Ger in his hand.
"'Well, Binks, my man" said the Of
ficer in a condescending tone.
Captain said the private, salut-
ing, "Ill ask We to taste this here.
won't make no complaint. I'll just ask
We to taste this slop, and If We don't

That will do, Binks,' the captain
interrupted in his dignified way, for
Binks was getting very angry; and
he took the cup from the man, bent
forward stiffly, and swallowed a cou-
pie of mouthfuls of the liquid.
Then he looked at the private.
calmly.
"'This is not bad,' he said 4 can't
taste anything wrong with this, links.

A Doubtful Compliment,

]. Adam Bede, the witty congress
man from Minnesota, whose wife, py
the way, bears the name of Eve, is the
seventh son of a seventh son, but
his attempts at prophecy are infre-
quent. He is among the more indie
pendent republicans of the house, and
found full play for this characteristic
in the recent discussion of the state
hood bill, which he vigorously op-
posed. His speeches on this subject
attracted crowds to the gallery, though
some of his auditors declare him more
witty than wise Major Mcdowell,
clerk of the house, paid Mr.. Bede
doubtful compliment few days ago.
Adam" he said. "that was a mag
nificcent speech of yours on the rule
sending the statehood bill to confer
ence."
Thank you major" said Bede.
Praise from Sir Hurbert, you know.
Yes said Major Mcdowell, again.
1T was magnificent speech. But. by
the way. what side Of the statehood
question are you on?"

In the Lions Skin.
Wilton News.l

AS the, critical observer watches the
antics of the so-called Good Govern
ment league throughout the state, and
the wiggle of its tenacle within this
county, he cannot help but be remind
ed OF the above fable. Arrogating to
itself the lordly mission of purifying
the political atmosphere of the state Of
North Dakota. it no sooner gives
tongue than, its real nature becomes
apparent. Its sponsors have affiliated
with the machine since statehood, and
they did not discover anything wrong
in its acts until they suddenly wake up
and find themselves outside the breast
works. Then they suddenly see things,
but what they see they have yet failed
to point out They, simply content
themselves with the cry of "gang,",
Now everyone knows that there is al
ways leadership in political parties.
And there will be. And before set
OF individuals should set themselves
up as reformers they should point out
what the reforms are that are needed.
Thus far they have failed to do SO.

When Thieves Fall Out.
[Kulm Messenger.1


Several weeks ago the Valley Citv
Times-Record-no doubt in an un-
guarded moment-promised to unyeil
some irregularities in connection with
the state treasurer's office-"as soon
as its editor could get time to compile
figures and data" 1t was the opinion
of the Messenger at the time that Edit
tor Nye was talking through his hat"
and we never expected him to fulfill
the promise, although we have watch
cd the paper closely-more for curio-
sity's sake than anything else. Now
comes the LaMoure Chronicle with the
following-which is portion of a.
strong article against the present ad-
ministration: There have been ru-
mors and threats of exposure, but can
dor compells us to admit-and we
cheerfully do admit-that little which
Is discreditable to the present admin-
istration has been brought to light."
Now, there you are. The positions OF
these two champions of political re-
form" CD do not agree on one vital

more breaks like this will bust the
"reformers'" organization. They had
better get together and agree on their
fairy tales"

In an open letter to his political
friends, which appears in todays issue
of the Normanden, Prof. Tinglestad
announces that under present condi-
lions he does not feel warranted in
allowing his name to be used as the
insurgent candidate for governor.
While disclaiming any alliance with
or adherence to any political faction
Prof. Tinglestad insists that he is in
favor Of a government by and for the
people. but that until there appears
to be united demand on the part of
the republican electors for him to act
as their standard-bearer he is
in nowise to be considered as being a
candidate.

grams We're being sold by Miss Lillian
Russell, Miss Ethel Barrymore, Miss
Anna Held. Mrs. Edna Wallace Hop

other actresses.
"A stunning table it was, undoubted-
ly. A young bluejacket passed before
it. He stood quite still for some min
utes, with his bronzed young face and
his neat nautical togs, staring with
the most ardent and respectful ad-
miration at the young ladies before
him. Then. with half sigh, he laid a
piece of silver down and turned away.
Won't you have something for
your money! one of the ladies called.
THE gallant sailor smiled and an
swered:

worth, already, thanks"

ShiDwrecked Homes,

Sometimes world-weary hearts will
turn
TO Il land where ghosts of their
youth abide.
A land where sunset memories
glow,
And shipwrcckcd hopes drift in with
the tide.
Where sad eyes strain through the
Straits of Death
For Ship that sailed to an Unknown
Sea,
Laden with laughter and love and faith,
Bringing answer to wistful prayer:
JOY or Sorrow for days to be.
But never the brave Hope-Ship comes
home,
Nor. ever out of the darkened west.
Clean of far white sail shines
fair.
Alas! We stand on wide gray beach.
With empty hearts where joy has
been,
And outstretched hands that cropping
For the shipwrecked hopes that the
tide brings in.

to whom you pledge your support to

There is new gang. composed of

THE PARTING or THE WAYS.

Those who have for the last two
years been deliberately planning the
disruption of the republican party.
lacking an issue which would appeal
TO the reason and intelligence of the
people, attempted to create an un-
warranted prejudice in the mind of
the public by the epithet of gang. Bv
this phrase they meant to place an
odium upon every man who refused
to bow the knee to the political golden
calf which they were creating. The
gang was intended to mean those who
were patriotic enough to refuse to Join
In an attempt to overthrow the re-
publican party in this state, thereby
securing the election of a democratic
state administration, and at the same
time helping to turn both the house
and senate of the national congress
