The Houston Post was twenty'one
years old on April 5, 1906. That
splendid paper observed the anniyer.
sary by putting on what printers call
"a new dress" The post has always
excelled from typographical stand
point and this time scores a new tri-
umph. The width of The Posts col.
umns has been increased, with larger
type to set off the reading matter,
giving metropolitan appearance to
the paper that would do credit to the
biggest journals of the country.
The tendency Of all the leading news
papers now is to adopt the larger
faced type and construct their columns
so as to put the reading matter as
clearly before the eye as possible,
showing the most at a glance, and
thus minimize the tax upon thereafter.
The Improvement in The Posts ap'
pearance demonstrates the wisdom OF
this tendency and its friends every
where will observe the change with
satisfaction. The news service OF the
Post not only covers Houston and
Texas like the proverbial "wet blan'
ket," but stretches over the entire
globe, giving Texas a newspaper thai
has every facility OF modern journal
ism that the big dailies Of the biz
cities possess
May The Post grow on in its great
ness.

Fifteen 90 to Lewis County in
Ten Days
CRUSH ROCK INSIDE OF THE STOCkAoE
MEN WITH FIVE AND TEN YEAR
SENTENCES ARE TO BE
CHOSEN.

Warden KEGS, who with J. H. Da-
Wis a member of the state board of
control. went to Chehalis a few days
ago to arrange for shipping a number
of convicts to that city, in accordance
with plans formulated by the state
board for experimenting with convict
labor in crushing rock for public high
ways of the state, is expected to ar
rive home tomorrow morning from
Olympia.
Lewis county will be ready for the
first shipment of convicts in about 1O
DAYS. A stockade is now being built
within which the prisoners will work
and practically live. The stockade
which is about II feet high, encloses
less than an acre of ground but Mr.
Davis says there is sufficient basalt
rock in it to- keep the convicts busy
for several months.
The stockade is a tight board fence
with barbed wire strung around the
top of it.
A railroad switch runs alongside the
stOckade and the bunkers form a part
of one side of the stockade. 1t is not
necessary to take cars within the
enclosure to load them. The rock will
be crushed by machinery which the
county already owns.
Work Fifteen Convicts.
At first fifteen convicts will be
worked. 1t will take three guards to
| watch them, one at night and two in
| the daytime. The experiment is be-
ing carried on by the board of con-
troll. The county is to pay the state
the cost price of the crushed rock, the
pay of the guards and transportation
being included in the cost.
Mr.. Davis says convicts will be Sc
lected for the work that have five or
| ten year sentences and have about a
| year yet to serve. Such cOnvicts, he
points out, will not likely take the risk
of escaping and losing all the good
time to which they are now entitled
Regular prison fare will be supplied
to the convicts by cook from the
prison.
1t is likely that if the experiment
in Lewis county proves successful
other counties will ask for convicts

Did Not Appreciate
Advice Offered Him

NJ was on an open street car, and the
passengers put it down that the
man with his jaw tied up had the
tOothache. One of thea was not sat
isfied with inference, but leaned for
ward and solicitously inquired:
Does she lift you when she aches?"
The sufferer glared at him. but made
20 answer. and he presently continues:
''I'll bet it's a double tooth and that
he dentist will have to yank three
times on it."
You villainw shouted the sufferer
as he wriggled around, while three Or
four others ylade indignant protests.
"All right. all right; won't say any
more" said the stony hearted man as
he sank back, "but for the information
of the crowd in general l will observe
that toothache is caused by the cold
air striking an exposed organ. You
probably never gave thought to 1t,
but there are exactly $500 nerves IA
dating from your gums, and the ex-
posture of any one of these causes pain.
Speaking of teeth. do you know what
the strength of the jaw is? 1t Is COM
puted that when a full grown and
healthy man shuts his teeth down as
hard as he can on pine board he Is
eXerting a force of one horsepower
Every time you bite into sandwich
you use enough force to open door.
Should you yell Police" at the top of
your voice the air pressure would be
sufficient to lift one of your shoes sew
en- inches high. Should you sneeze
you waste power enough to pull tur-
nip out of the ground, and the force of
a hearty laugh would drive a brad awl
halfway through raw potato. That's
all. ladies and gentlemen and no col
lection will be taken up or vote Of
thanks looked for."-BroOklyn Citizen.

SONORA, Cal. Aug. 1S.-A destruc-
