Mike Reddy was a railroad man
at Boise, Idaho, we'll known and
we'll liked by everybody. One
night Mike fell beneath a train
and had both legs cut off.
He was taken to the hospital
and recovered in a course of
time. His accident cost him his
savings as we'll as his legs, and
after he got around again his
friends subscribed several humid
red dollars and sent Mike to Chi
cago to get two cork substitutes.
He came back in a month or
two. walking spryly. but he didn't
seem to be the same old Mike.
People looked at him as he
creeped down the street and
wondered. Finally, committee
Of his friends asked him about it.
Mike" they said, what did
they do to you up there in Chica-
go besides making you a pair of
legs?"
Nothing that I know of, "
Mike replied.
Eyes, they did. You look diff
ferent than when you went away.
What was it?"
'tOh," said Mike, grinning,
II know what you mean. / was
always a short Teller with me own
legs, and when the man was
making the cork ones I just told
him to make them four inches
longer than the old ones were, so
Icculd get up in the world a bit. y

THE WINTER and PRICES.

AS the winter has been very
mild there has been more than
the average supply of eggs on
the market, those contemplating
a corner" with high prices, be-
ing compelled to sell at a sacri-
flee, the hens breaking the ''cor-
ner" Unexpectedly. Those who
were fortunate in having good,
well-cared-for stock have not
been disappointed in their ex-
pectations. The winter had its
influence on poultry as well AS
on everything else, but the poul-
trymen no doubt have come
out successfully. Prices will con-
tinue up to the average, for those
who wish to have that which
they desire in the poultry line
will buy it at all times, and while
the chickens and eggs are as
good as cash money, the farmers
who keep thier hens in laying
condition will fully realize all
tn E i r expectations. Pure-bred
fowls will pay at all seasons of
the year, and there is no reason
why farmers should continue to
breed only the common kinds.

The in0rdinate love of the dol
lar too often makes men unpa-
triotic and disloyal to the town
and community in which they
live. To save a little they will
send away from home for sup
plies, refuse a dollar toward pub
lie improvements in their own
town, belittle and degrade home
enterprise and yet be the first to
advance the price of thier pro-
perty as a result of the patient,
self-sacrificing work Of others.
Loyalty to your own town is
just as commendable a type of
patriotism as one can find and,
no matter how much your patri-
otism boils over on Fourth of
July in a general way, if you
are disloyal in little things to
your own town you are a poor
citizen Of the republic. You are
likd him who makes long pray
ers in the church and jaws his
wife and neglects his children
at home.

It is highly interesting infor-
nation that the President is pre-
pairing a special message recon-
mending legislation in restraint
of trusts. Not because this {, n
gress is likly to enact any meas
ure that will have the desired
effect. The trusts are too firmly
intrenched in Congress to justify
the belief that any legislation
that will be adequate will be
able, to run the'gauntlet. But the
mere recommendation will ap-
parently be a confession that the
campaign against the trusts, OF
which we have heard so much,
has proved a failure. The decis-
ion of Judge Humphrey is cited
as a reason for more legislation.
But the decision of Judge Hum
phrey was based on clause OF
the Constitution, and no legisla-
ton can repeal that. Another
clause in the Constitution pre-
vents, so it is said, an appeal
from the Chicago decision. Ii
this is true, no sort Of law can
remedy this trouble, though,
doubtless, a law might be made
to enable the Supreme Court to
pass on the law, without SUBJ
jecting parties to a new trial.
But is it really necessary that
this be done?
The packers and others who
have been violating the anti
trust law may have obtained i'm
munity for all past offenses. That
at least seems to be the official
view, and it is likely to prevail.
But does anybody suppose that
these offenders intend to respect
in future the law which they
have so long violated with i'm
punity? If they do, the country
might we'll agree to let bygones
be bygones, especially as no ex-
post-factolaw can be passed. If,
however, they do not obey the
law hereafter, it will be possible
to get other indictments, not
based upon testimony obtained
by the Bureau of Corporations.
This can be done without any
new legislation.
No doubt it would be we'll for
the country to get a better anti
trust law. But there is no pros
pect that such a law can be had
speedily. It is better, therefore,
that the Department of Justice
should look to the enforcement
of existing law than to mislead
the public into the belief that
some proposed legislation will
make the convictions of trusts
easier. That legislation will only
be possible when we get a Con-
greSs that does not belong to
the trusts. -Courier Journal.

AN OLD TRAGEDY RECALLED.

The following from the Hus-
tonville correspondent to the
Danville Advocate will interest
many of our readers over in Ca
sey, and along the boundary line:
There died a few days ago on the
Rolling Fork, in Casey, an aged
man, =: q: Thos. I Evans, "a, whose
death recalls one of the fiercest
and bloodiest tragedies ever wit
messed on the streets of Liberty.
On that day Bell and Magofin,
candidates for Governor, had an
appointment to speak in the
town. This was in the Spring or
early Summer of 1860. The vot-
ing population of the county as
sembled as well as great numbers
from this county, among them
Bill Owsley, who hadssmoved to a
fine farm near here a7few years
previous from Lancaster. Ows-
ley was a bad man in liquor and
would fght:his weight in wild
cats when insulted. + On this day
red liquor was much in evidence
in Casey's Capital. A difficulty
sprang up between Owsley and
Granville Johnson which ended
by Owsley drawing his trusty
Colts and killing him in his
tracks. Evans, the subject Of
this sketch, and a brother-in-law
of Johnson, sprang at Owsley
with a knife and he was shot
down: one hip broken. Pande-
monium reigned after this shot.
Val and Tuck Peyton, ssfneighbors
and kinsmen of Evans and John
son, then engaged Owsley, who
shot at every one who menaced
him. Tuck PeytonX was soon
disabled, but Val, a man of cour-
age andsss. wonderful physique,
went at Owsley with a barlow
knife, his only weapon. 1t only
required a few minutes for him
to finish the fight. Owsley was
literally hacked to pieces and
was carried into a room OF the
Napier Hotel, where he lay for
weeks before he could be brought
home. In due time Evans recov-
cred, entered Il the Union Army
under Col. Wolford, was severely
wounded and was discharged.
Tuck Peyon likewise joined the
same command, was shot in the
neck at the battle of Mill Springs
early in the war, was brought
home paralyzed, but lived about
forty years afterwards a mental
and physical wreck. During all
these years he drew a pension of
seventy-five dollars per month.
Owsley sold his farm near here,
moved back to Lancaster and af-
forwards entered the Confeder-
ate army. dying soon after the
close of the war.

At a recent public sale of
horses in New York twenty three
head Of Kentucky saddle horses
brought the aggregate sum of
$13, $50, an average of 1858.
This shows Enthusiastically that
the influence of the American
Saddle Horse Breeders Associa-
ton is being felt in the East
where a few years ago the for
eign idea as to mounts seemed to
prevail. The American Associa-
tion has offered a prize of a 500
silver cup to be awarded to the
best three gated saddle horse to
Durland's to which entries clos
ed March 31st. A good number
are entered and show will prove
to be a feature of this great show.

While all this controversy about
Bailey is very entertaining and offers
great opportunity for eloquence and
street corner argument, it is none the
less a most deplorable incident in the
political history of the state. Texas
Democracy has been accustomed to
hold up its head proudly in any kind
of company and feel honorable under
all circumstances. It is unfortunate
that a United States senator from this
big Democratic state has come under
suspicion, and it is worse that he has
been charged with things that he has
never been guilty Of The people
making these charges against Mr..
Bailey's personal integrity should be
ignored and condemned. And Mr.
Bailey should say to his people who
have honored him in many ways, If
any of my methods are distasteful to
my people or bring my good name
and that of my state into question /
will leave of such practices and be
only your senator If he cannot do
this and do justice to himself and his
family. then he should resign his Of
flee and devote his great talents to a
calling more remunerative This con-
should not be perpetuated in
the state until it has worked stand
ing injury to the cause of good De
and brought our state into
ridicule by the rest of the nation
Let every one reform first himself:
then work on the other fellow.

PALESTINE, TEXAS, OCTOBER s, 1906.
sAILEY-cRANE DEBATE.

The question involved, and which
was discussed by Senator Bailey and
Hon. M. NJ. Crane in Houston Satur-
day night, is practically unchanged by
virtue of the debate. Mr.. Crane
asked the senator the same direct
question that has been asked him
from hundreds of sources, namely, If
he believed that it was good policy
for a senator of the United States to
accept professional services for pub
lie corporations or trusts while serv-
ing in office, and Mr.. Bailey, as he
has done on every other occasion,
evaded the question, and gave no an
swer. And the people are in the
same attitude as before the debate.
1t is not a question of whether Mr..
Bailey has or has not been Influenced
by such connections, as he persists in
denying. 1t is a simple question OF
whether or not 1t is a safe principle
in government The bar of Texas,
removed from political alliances,
would not hesitate to answer this
question in the same way that
Reagan, Mills and Culberson have an
swered it for themselves. Mr.. Bailey
is either hard to make understand
simple proposition or else he realizes
that the answer of the question so
much desired would be against him
self Let's not discuss the Grapevine
ranch, or whether or not Mr.. Pierce
is a gentleman or the other thing, but
let us keep an eye singly to the one
Can Mr.. Bailey serve
two masters? Can he ride two horses
each headed in opposite directions?
Let's not lose sight of this one prop
osition, for in it is all that has been
seriously charged against Mr.. Bailey.
