An 0ctogenarian

The veteran blacksmith. J. Por-
ter, is celebrating his SIND birthday
today. Although four score years
and more have passed over his head,
leaving their impress in a snowy
beard and hair, Mr.. Porter is hale
and hearty and gives indication of
many more years of life. While
he, of course, to some extent feels
the burden which these years have
brought, he is more springhtly han
many much younger men, working
at his forge almost daily enjoying
fair share of health and activity.
Mr.. Porter came to the Rio Grande
in 1865 and with the passing
years has noted many changes.
He has heard the roar of cannon
when the invader would make him.
self too numerous, and again the
COO of the dove of peace as it set
tied down over a reunited country.
Mr.. Porter came to Brazos Santiago
in Jan. 1S47, and.wa a steamboat
captain for a good many years.
Coming TO the Rio Grande in 1868
he has remained here ever since,
with the exception of about two
years spent in New Mexico, engag-
ed in putting in mining machinery.
He says he is in the best of health,
sleeps well, eats we'll, and can see
fairly well. He has seen many
changes on the Rio Grande since
landing here, and is a most inter-
estingtalker on early days in this
section. THE HERALD congratul-
ates Mr.. Porter on his continued
good health and hopeshe may live
to celebrate many more birthdays.

What Advertising Means.

Advertising is. to the merchant
what blowing and sowing are to
the farmer. Imagine d farmer try
ing to raise crop by sitting on
the fence looking over his farm and
wishing for a nice crop of wheat or
corn to spring up on ridiculous,
isn't it?-but not more so than the
merchant who hides a stock of
goods away i'll a storeroom and
then sits down on the counter,
hoping that the people will come
in and buy.-Denison Herald.

The Absent Minded Man.

My old comradc. Adolph Strodtmann, might
have served as the original to many carcatures
Of the absent minded professor" who 10 a favorite
subject OF funny pictures in German periodicals..
Now and then he was seen on the street smoking
a long German students pipe. as he had done In
Bonn. In Paris the passershy would stand still
with amaZemcnt when they bcheld so unaccus-
toned an appartion, and soon he was known in the
attn Quarter as |'homme a la Tongue pipe" ono
day he came into my room with a hair brush Under
his arm. and when I asked him: "Strodtmann.
what are you carrying therei" he looked at the
thing at nrst with great surprise and then laughed
boisterously and said. with his loud voice: why,
this Is my hair brush. | thought II was q book
from which | wished to read to YOU"
Another time when he visited me ! noticed that
his face bore the expression Of extraordinary seri-
business, II not trouble. Il have only one pair OF
boots" he said: "one Of the boots is stu good, but
the other you see"-and here he pointed at his

This sound boot ] gladly put at Strodtmann's dis
posal. When we undertook 70 make the exchange
we noticed at once that the two good boots, his and
mine. belonged TO two different fashions. His
was pointed at the toe and mine was broad cut,
and both were for the left foot. These unfortunate
circumstances did not disturb Strudtmann In the
least, and although he may have suffered a, times
considerable inconvenience he walked about In
those VOL left boots, one OF which was pointed and
the other broad. until his own ~footgear had had
the necessary repairs.

The Parks and Their Care.

That a policeman's lot is not a happy
one was illustrated in a familiar way in
the Yorkville police court when Magis-
trate STEINERT discharged several per-
sons who had been arrested for sleeping
out on the inviting sod in Tompkins
Square, that great breathing space on the
lower East Side among the tenements.
The policeman who arraigned them in
court explained to the Magistrate, who
of course did not need the explanation,
that there was a rule of the Park De-
partment prohibiting the use of the
lawns for sleeping purposes.
Magistrate STEINERT discharged the
misdemeanants, and for the benefit Of
the gallery he exclaimed. "The rules Of
the Park Department are idiotic. The
parks are for the use Of the people. 1t
is all humbug to say they cannot go and
lie down on the grass" The wretched
policeman pleaded that his orders we're
10 arrest persons who violated the law.
"Humbug!" retorted the friend of the
pee-pul on the bench. Il don't consider
it any crime for the poor to be or the
grass in the parks. The parks are for
them, and they are entitled to the benefit
of all the fresh air they can get"
Thus the old question was raised
again: When h a policeman not a police
man? He is plainly not a policeman
when a Magistrate repeats a statute or
revokes an ordinance and is a law unto
himself. 1t is this attitude Of the police
bench which makes patrolmen and their
officers indifferent to their duty in a
hundred and one little matters that are
vital to municipal government. 1t is
no crime per sc to violate a great many
ordinances, but If they are not enforced
the man in the street might as well be
allowed to legislate for himself without
regard to the existence Of the city Char
ter and a Board of Aldermen.
1t is no crime to use Tompkins Square

The Copper Age.

Twenty-Five years ago the United
States produced 27,OOO tons of copper.
The production during 1905 was prac-
tically 400, 900 tons, or more than half
Of the worlds total supply. The value
of last years output may be given as
$3.50, 900, 900.
The uses of this metal are steadily
growing. 1t is estimated that by 1920
the requirements of the world will reach
1900, 900 tons. The United States will
probably hold it's present place in the
market. New deposits are opened from
time to time. There are known districts
yet undeveloped in the Western NOUN
tains, and Alaska is rich in copper. Mex
leo and Canada are copper countries
end send the United States ore and matte
for smelling, and pigs, bars and ingots
for manufacture.
The increasing supply Of the metal
promises to keep prices within reason-
able bounds, while the increasing de-
mand fairly assures ample profits 10
the owners Of copper properties. No
available substitute has yet been found
for its Use for electrical purposes, and
the employment Of electricity increases
from year to year. The day of copper
has come, and there is every reason to
believe it will be a long day.

Survival and federation,

r THE EDITOR or THE SuN-!Sr: Your readers
may be Interested In the two facts following. one
from my own experience. the other one related on
FIRST authority:
Having occasion To visit the hourshlng village
OF Gettysburg yesterday. | found TO my great sur.
prise that all the principal places OF business were
closed. and a card In the window stated that this
was on account Of It's being Ascension day.
But one Gf;h OF the people % this historic town
are Catholics, and It was not n religious motive
that kept the shops shut. II was a social holiday,
perhaps n tradition Of Catholic days In Germany,
whence most OF the aCrtysburgcrS derive their
ancestry. But think OF IT. This is a very busy
season OF the year. and here are many pretty large
business houses that let profits 20 to enjoy n day
at ASKING, Do you know a parallel to this In the
United Sta,es' Is II not a wonderful relief amid
all the matcrallsm'
Another fact: Three lepcrs are reported cured at
the louisiana Lepers' Home. Asking who man
aged an institution producing such marvellous
results, ! fnd that the physician In chief Is a JeW.
DR.. lsldore Dyer. and that the nurses are Sisters
OF Charity from Emmitsburg. Md. About fourteen
years ago the latter took charge OF the new estab.
lishmen,, and bid good.b TO the world In a very
poignant sense, for they can never leave the leper
house once they volunteer and enter the service.

evils Of the railroad business, rebates
and unfair discrimination The restora-

vision taken out Of the Interstate
Commerce act by the Elkins anti-rcbate
law the amendment providing for the
forfeiture by n shipper, asking for or

value involved; the subjection Of sleep
ing cars and express companies and oil
pipe lines to the jurisdiction Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission; the
amendment requiring carriers, on APP
p~lication from shippers, 10 furnish neces-
sary switches, terminals and connec-
tons: these all make for justice. The
purpose of all of them might have been
obtained by amendment Of the Inter-
state Commerce act and the Elkins
law; but the pother over the question Of
fixing rates has had the merit of inducing
the Senate to add these safeguards for
the protection of the public.
Any bill that tried to withdraw from
the common carriers the fullest right of
Justice in the courts would have been
a delusfon and snare. The Senate has
done its best TO make the bill constitu-
tional; and il has done far more than
the House thought of doing to frame a
measure that should not be futile and
illusorv, but efficient and addressed to
actual needs.
Whether or not the Senate has tried
to do too much is another question. For
the present it is enough to mention the
obvious and not wholly unamusing
fact, in view Of the many miles of
