IT'S Just the Way You Say 1t

When the millionaire's. son arrived at
the important age of p his indulgent
father called him from his play and ex-
pounded much knowledge of the beautiful
world and it's golden opportunities. The
pouting offspring was cordially invited to
work for his daily bread in the future or
to leave a trail of dust in the rear Dust
without the necessary automobile did not
appeal to the young man, so he accepted
position in his fathers twenty-three-
story office building.
About 8 o'clock the following Monday
i i-orning he reported for duty and was
placed in charge of elevator No. l.
He looked rather uncomfortable in his
'bby blue uniform embellished with two
rows of brightly polished brass buttons
and much glistening braid His jaupty
cap was made of excellent material and
bore the mark of a fashionable halter
despite the fact that the words elevator
boy were daintily worked across its
front.
After adjusting a new pair of kid
gloves and brushing few stray locks
from his forehead, the new employe
walked to the door of his car and said,
in a sweet tone, Ascension"
When he became strong enough to wan
der about without the assistance of a
nurse, his father gave him a mere mil
lion and his paternal blessing and sug-
gested lnat he take the fastest train
for the most distant point this side of
the heavens. This time the dust did not
bother him.-Harper's Weekly.

A representative of The Herald had the
pleasure of a visit to Beaumont last week,
and to say that he was pleased with what

ness of soil in way which left little to

mas not taken the trouble to reread the
advertising matter to see if it is correct
in every detail, because he is satisfied with
what he saw.
The evidences one may find regarding
the productiveness of the soil are quite
convincing. You may go up the canyon
