lie Didn't Draw.

Sir William Perkins, the inventor
of mauve dye, said at dinner
given in his honor at Delmonico' s
by the chemists of New York:
Chemists, in their research
after new things, have a sorry
time. When success comes, it is
pleasant; but before success nothing
but one disappointment after an
other meets the investigator.
Encouragements but too often
turn out to be really disappoint-
ments, but too many of the stu
dents encouragements are like the
old woman speech to the minister,
but discouragements misunder-
stood.
You know there was an old
minister, a good man, but prosy
and dry in his sermons, who met
an aged women on the road one
day. And this aged woman, after
she had shaken him by the hand,
said heartily:
All, sir, I do like it when you
preach
THE minister, unused to such
compliments, beamed.
Sc Thank you, he said.s 1 wish
there were more of your mind.
And why, my good friend, do you
like it when 1 preaCh?'
" All, sir. she replied, when
you preach can always get a good
seat. - Exchange.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

THE drainage bill which has
been introduced in the House by
Representative Canales and few
other members is a measure in
which Cameron County and other
counties in which irrigation is
practiced to any extent are deeply
interested. Where irrigation is
carried on, there must be drainage.
The lack of provisions for this inn
portant feature has handicapped
greatly the extensive irrigation en-
ferprise of the Brownsville Land
and Irrigation company near
Brownsville, and this proposed
legisla ton was inspired chiefly on
account of the condition here.
The gro wing number of irrigation
enter prises in South Texas renders
some such legislation absolutely
necessary. 1t is understood, how
ever, that the bill as framed at
present is not entirely satisfactory
TO some of those most interested
an the subject and some request
for amendments changing certain
features may be made.

ANOTHER PRETTY
LINEN SHOWER
Miss Matte Hicks Showered with Dainty
Gifts by Friends.

A pretty surprise was rendered
another young bride elect last even
ing, when Miss Matte Hicks, who
will wed Mr.. Grover Wagner to-
morrow evening, was invited to
meet some friends at the home of
Judge and Mrs. Wells, the benev-
client intent being to give the fair
lady linen shower - Only a
few of her intimate friends par
ticipated including Misses Eugene
and Jeanne Brulay, Anita and
Eta Kowalski, Seaman, Rosa
Stowe, Clay, Cooke. Irene and
Mamie Browne, Katie Hicks, and
Marie Browne, besides Miss Wells,
daughter of the host and hostess.
The many dainty gifts of linen
were placed in a white silk para
sol, which was concealed behind
portiere, under which Miss Hicks
was decoyed, thereby upsetting
the contents of the parasol which
fell in a slower about her. The
parasol was a gift also.
Afterwards some music was
enjoyed, both vocal and instru
mental, after which the guests
were served with tempting buffet
supper in the dining room.
Later all assembled around the
wide fire place, the lights being
put out, and had a marsh mallow
roast, which partook very much of
the nature of a schoolgirl frolic.
Each had some marvellous tale to
tell, which all declared, however to
besecondhand.
ALI in all, it was a very delight
ful affair, and will be remembered
long by the young honoree as one
of the brightest events of her girl
hood days.

ANOTHER "SPY.
GETS HOT ONE,
Detective Gets $50 Fire and Goes
to Chain Gang for IS Days.

Joe Walker, alias y. Mcdonald.
n Colorado IL Southern strike
breaker, was given hard dose in
the Pueblo police court Tuesday
for attempting TO incite riot
among the striking trninmen.
Judge Sets fined him 800 for
drunkenness and creating dis
turbance and sentenced linn TO
seventy five days in Jail mt chain
gang labor.
Walker came into Pueblo on a
Colorado. 81 Southern train as a
on.union brakeman He an.
preached several strikers and told
them that he had deserted from
the company. The best way to
help out the strike, he thought,
'1Has to go out a few miles, pull
union brakemen off their trains
and beat them up. If this didn't
suffice, he thought throwing few
switches and ditching trains might
be an excellent way OF winning.
The strikers got an officer and had
Walker arrested.
In court the striking trainmen
appeared against Walker and told
how he had tried to involve them
i'll trouble. Judge Sets compli-
mented the strikers upon the peace
able way they had acted since the
Inauguration of the strike, and said
he was sorry Walker could not be
given harder dose. Walker
claimed to be a Tbiel detective and
a professional strike breaker. He
says he has just arrived ftom San
francisco, where he helped break
the street car strike there.
Colorado Sc Southern men, who
have caused no disturbances of any
kind since the strike, looked upon
the talk made by Walker as an at
tempt to implicate them in ques-
tionable agair and throw appro-
brium upon their cause.
Judge Seits has been mmeber
of the Cigarmakers' Union for
many years, and still retains his
membership. If we had few more
officials like him, the union man
would have more show for square
deal i'm times of labor trouble.
