FATHERS LESSON.
The Trick of Teaching as He Tried I.

''Don't lop down on the couch
that way, Bobby" the tired little
mother implored. "Stand up and
pull down your sweater and try to
remember. Henry" she added,
lifting a flushed, almost fearful face
to her husband as he entered the
room, S'this boy simply can't learn
anything by heart, do you know it?
It's a physical impossibility. Here
his teacher has assigned two pages
of the Lady of the Lake to be CON-

book. Probably you haven't the

thing. Here, son, come in the 9th

A half hour followed, during
which the paternal voice grew loud

wife grew first tranquil, then merry.
At last the folding doors opened.
"Come, son" said Bobby's father in
q voice that cracked the whip.

"All he needed was to have it i'm

he added as he placed the open book

DEATH OF SENATOR GREEN.
Prominent San Antonio Jurist Died Sud-

! San Antonio, Texas. Dec. p
/ State Senator Robert B. Green, ont
of the best known men il this state
died suddenly last night of hear
disease while in camp on a hunting
trip with his brother-in-law, Georgt
Maverick, near this city. DEATH
came swiftly and painlessIy while
he was on his cot. Mr.. Mavericks
drove twenty-five miles in the dark.
ness and brought his brother-in-
law's body into this city late last
night.
Senator Green was native Of
this city, being forty-two years old,
and comes of a distinguished fam
iIy of lawyers. having won an en-
viable reputation at the bar. He
was for six years county judge of
Bexar county and won reputation
as an upright judge who fearlessly
enforced the laws. His greatest
work was in the campaign for good
roads which he led. Through his
efforts bonds were issued for $500. :
600 and $50 miles of splendid roads
built out of this city,
As county judge, too, he was
instrumental in breaking up gam
bling in San Antonio and trans
formed wide-open" town into
one of the most law-abiding in
Texas. Notwithstanding the bitter
euemies he made in his fight, he
was one of the most popular men
in this part of Texas. and has been
frequently mentioned as a candi-
date for encouragement and for
governor. He was considered one
of the ablest and purest members
of the state senate.
AS a young man he first came
into prominence as captain of the
Belknap Rifles, one of the most
famous military organizations this
state ever had. He was a man of
6ne physique with a military bear
ing. As public speaker he was
and forceful. His integrity
and his courage were alike unques
toned. He was cut off in his prime
in the midst of useful public ser
vice, and his death is widely mourn
ed in Southwest Texas.

When they fail to do this tn,

Backache and many kidney i'll:

Urinary trouble. diabetes.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure them
all.
Jacob Hirsch, Custom House Of
fcer, Guadalupe Street, Port La
vaca, Texas, says: L was greatly
annoyed by severe pains across my
back and kidneys for several years.
When I would stoop over, I would
have to put my hand across my
back as sort of support which
would help me to endure the
intense pain. The action of the
kidneys was at times too frequent,
then again too scanty and highly
colored. Having read about Doan's
Kidney Pills in the newspapers,
I procured a box. Since using
them, the backache has entireley
gone and my kidneys now act cor
rectly. 1 recommend Doan's

MzP0RTANT PUBLIC MOVE.

IMPORTANT PUBLIC MOVE
Next to a good school and col
Sege education, ranks the education
shat may be obtained from read
ing good books. For a POSTCARD
uate or supplementary course Of
study. a good library is next best
20 the college or university. There
fore every town that can possibly
do SO should have a public library,
not merely a stock of works of fc-
ton, but a library that shall con-
Hain carefully selected works of re
ference, encyclopedias. histories,
etc, from which useful infOrma-
sion of wide and varied nature
may be obtained when wanted.
This is what is now offered to
Brownsville, the Brownsville
Library Association having under
taken to establish a circulating
library and reading room here
To accomplish this very important
-0biect, naturally. the association
kill require the substantial assist
-auce of the citizens of the town,
and it is to be expected that every
person residing here who is of aver
age intelligence and at all interest
ed in the welfare and progress of
the town will give to the move as
liberal a support as they feel that
they can afford to give. This
move has in view the good of the
general pnblic of Brownsville. It
IS on a firm basis, and is not for a
day, or a week, but for as long as
Brownsville will give it sufficient
support. 1t is the hope of the as
ISOLATION that the library may soon
become self-sustaining. but of
course, until such time as it does
Become so, it will be necessary to
have the necessary amount to sus
tain it subscribed voluntarily by
the citizens of Brownsville. That
a sufficient number of citizens who
are able and progressive enough to
pledge this sum monthly SO long
as needed will easily be secured.
there can be no doubt. Another
subscription will also be necessary
for the purpose of furnishing and
stocking the library, and this also
without doubt will be obtained
without much difficulty. It IS
needless to say that the larger the
fund raised the better beginning the
library will make. THE HERALD
understands that considerable
amount has already been promised
and that as soon as the list is cir
cuIated it will grow rapidly and
bat sufficient sum to furnish the
library and reading room neatly
and substantially and to stock it
with several hundred volumes, be
sides most of the leading magazines
ard periodicals, will be obtained il
\ very short time.
THE HERALD has no hesitation
IN saying that this move is one of
Gfse-most important for the public
good Of Brownsville that has ever
been launched, and it also believes
