The Right Idea.

One would think the Laxative idea in

Vanced long before it was. Itseems the
only rational remedy for Coughs and
Colds would be to move tho bowels and
clean the mucous membranes of the
throat and lungs at the same time

Mrs. Jewel Maddux, who departed this
life August l, 1906. She was forty
years and six months old. She had
belonged to the Baptist church since
1886, being there twenty years. She

kind to all whom she met She al
ways had a sweet smile and kind word
for you. I had known her ever since

give her up, but God knows best. The
Lord gave and the Lord taketh away:
blessed be the name of the Lord. She
will shed no more tears, see no more
troubles. She is at rest. We ought
to submit to our Lords will, for He

THE NIGER AND THE MULE.
General Freight Agent of Santa Fe

General Freight Agent L. J. Polk of

in Dallas the other day, and he told
this story: "One New Years eve night
a long time ago | was at the house Of
friend of mine in the Mississippi
river bottom. 1t was not a warm,
balmy day like we are having now, but
one of those snappy, moist mean, cold

he called old Joe, the darkey, and told
him to saddle up his mule and go and
get the jug filled. In a moment of I'M
due pride he said: I'll bet / can tell
where that niger is, describe his
movements, and when l call him he
will answer So he began like this:
Now he is going through old Browns
gate. now he is on the leyee and old
Nellie is going at pretty brisk trot.
Now he is outing across Johnson's
field, now he is going through the
skirts of the woods. Now he is at the
store. The jug is under the faucet.

good as It gurgles out. / hope that
old Joe won't stay too long at the store
and get drunk Now he is getting back
on his mule and is coming on past the
woods; now he is in Johnson's field. |
do pray the mule won't fall and |
break the jug. Now he is on the levee !
again. coming home, and coming fast. |
Now he is at Browns gate and Brown
is asking II anything is the matter.
believe Joe has sense enough not to |
tell Brown what he has been after,
because if he does it is all up with us.
Now he has passed the gate, and is
on the big road. Now he is coming
the quarter, and now he is at
the back door" He called: "JOe?"
The answer came: Vas, sahl"

The Herald would like for some
good, level-headed business man, one
who practices the habit of sending out
of town for his stationery and print
ing, to tell us why It is that fully one
half of the printing money is sent
away from this town to outside print
ing concerns. If there is a good, or
even a sensible reason for it we would
like to have it explained. The Herald
has as good machinery as most any of
the big concerns, can do as good work
as the average run of them, and can
meet the outside prices. The money
spent with the Herald for printing, as
for everything else, is paid out to men
who spend their salaries here, and
goes into the betterment of a concern
that is working constantly for the
good of the town. The money that is
sent away does nc $ceGurn, and is of
no benefit "a local tra circles. -
is nothing saved to the mar who
sends his money away. Still there
must be a reason or good business
men would not do it. There is more
money sent away from Palestine for
printing than any town of like popula-
ton in Texas. This money could do
good service if kept at home. Why is
it sent away?

In Song and Story
Will Live Forever the Memories Of

Especial Correspondence.)

Charming the senses with the har-
mony OF its proportions and of its ex-
quisite decorations and by the spirit
of repose found in its gardens, cham.
bers and courtyards, the Alhambra
palace in Granada is well worth a voy-
age across the Atlantic to see.
Not only is II the finest example of
Arabic architecture in Europe, but
il IL also storehouse of romantic me
les, from which has been drawn a
wealth of song and story by the writ.
ers of many lands. An American,
ma'e than any other person, has made
th6 Alhambra famous in these later
day', and the name OF Washington lrv-
ing is indissolubly associated with the
ruins of this famous palace of the
Moorish kings OF Spain, while his mem
o,y is revered in Granada like that
of patron saint.
The traveller who has been charmed
by lrving's Tales of the Alhambra'
approaches the palace as one about to
sit down to Il rare feast. The strong.
est imagery of romance has prepared
him to behold the remains of what
once was probably the fairest royal
residence OF modern times.
The first strong. deep impression of
tie charm of the Alhambra and its en-
vironment is received when, having
catered the grounds by low Moorish
gate in the thick walls, the pilgrim
looks out from the top of the watch
tower, the Nela of the Moors. across
the city at his feet. the rich green val.
