The raindrops cling along her dress;
her scarlet cheeks and lips are wet:
And she hath twincd violet,

Like hail against the window pane,

The echo of sob is rung

OUR WARSHIPs TO-DAY.
The warships Of to-day are. as most people
know armored, but. contrary 70 the popular
idea they are not protected all over
a recent authority has said that the improve
ment In rapid firing guns in late years has re-
suited in armor protecting more Of the side Of
the ship and in increasing the number OF guns
protected by the armor. The armOr is not so
thick formerly, but this is made up for by
improved kind of material whose resisting
power is greater. The modern battleship is in
tended TO combine IN one vessel the most power
full offensive and defensive weapons OF floating
warfare These batteshIps may be divided into
three portions namely, the part under water.
the part near the Waterue and tho upper
works In the first named parts carried
the machinery ana boilers coal, the steering
gear, the submerged torpedo tubes, the ammu-
milton and the greater part of the stores These
parts are the most vulnerable parts of the ship.
Attempts have been made to armor the bot
toms Of battleships against explosions Of tor
pedoes but they have not been generally sue
cessful. owing to the fact that TO have the
armor effective fl would have to be very thick
and therefore very heavy objection that en-
gineeTs have not successfully overcome.
To prevent the penetration of prOjeCties from
above there is a protective armor deck. usually
from two TO four inches thick, the middle part
OF which is little above the waterlne. This
deck slopes down at the sides 10 the bottom
edge of the arrnor belt from four TO six feet
under water. There is sometimes a second pro-
teotive deck below the first one to catch frag-
ments which might pass through the first and
this is sometimes called the Splinter deck"
The part or the ship Immediately above the
protective deck in the vicinity Of the water
line. is sometimes called the raft body" It
is protected from the enemys proiectiles by a
heavy arrnor belt. In modern battleships this
armor belt extends over the whole or over the
greater part OF the length. The gun positions
are all well armored, so is the coming tower.
which is the place from which the captain di-
reefs the fighting. This tower IS connected by

Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages Of Kidney
IIIness.-PrOfit By Brownsville PEG.
pies Experiences.

Occasional attacks of backache,
irregular urinatlou, headaches and
dizzy spells are common early
symptoms of kidney disorders.
It's an error to neglect these ills.
The attacks may pass off for time
but return with greater intensity
If there are symptoms of dropsy-
puffy swelling below the eyes,
blcating of limbs and ankles, OF
any part of the body, don't delay a
minute. Begin taking Doan' s
Kidney Pills, and keep up the
treatment until the kidneys are
well, when your old time health
and vigor will return. Cares in
Brownsville prove the effectiveness
of this great kidney remedy.
w. A. Rutledge, the Elizabeth
street jeweler, living on Levee St.,
Brownsville, Texas, says: MY
wife thinks and speaks very well
of Doau's Kidney Pills. the only
remedy that ever helped her dur
ing two years of suffering from a
bad back. The pain in her back
in the region of the kidneys was
very severe at times and the least
cold or excitment seemed to make
it worse. When I heard of Doan S
Kidney Pills at J L. Putegnat &
Bro drug store, I Immediately
got box. That one box was all
that was necessary to remove the
trouble and since then we nave al
ways kept this remedy in the
house. "

A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE
Voices of Famous Singers Recorded Or
Talking Machine Discs and Buried.

There was unique ceremony on
Christmas eve in the subterrauean
passage of the opera house in Paris.
It consisted of depositing in a
specially prepared vault talking
machine and a number of discs
bearing records of the voices of the
greatest singers of the Twentieth
Century. Tamagno, Caruso. Scott,
Plancon, Patti, Melba. Calve and
others are represented in the selec-
tions. The discs are in double
boxes, each separate from the
other. Neither light nor air can
penetrate the coverings, and it
is believed that they can be thus
preserved for a century. At the
end of a hundred years they will
be opened and the people of that
age will have the opportunity of
hearing the voices of this age, as
well as seeing the talking machine
as manufactured today.

Col. Haywood has watched mill
lions of dollars worth of oil spout
from the ground, with the crafty
ing knowledge that it was his, but
his pride in that event, although it
made him a millionaire, was per-
haps not so great as that which he
felt today, when he stood on the
bank of the Rio Grarde and watch
ed the water boil up, geyser-like,
from the river, under the force of
the big pump at the San Benito
plant. Here. he is not only laying
the foundation for future dividends
of most generous proportions, but
he is also doing something to be
doubly proud of, for he is helping
to make glad the waste places. He
is now going to be something more
than an oil magnate, capitalist;
he is going to be a benefactor of
mankind, by making two blades of
grass to grow where but one grow
before-that is, he and Sam Robert
son together are doing it, for as
he says, Sam Robertson is the man
who has done the work at San Be
nito, who started the great enter
prise and who is justly entitled to
be called the Father of San Be-
nito." THE HERALD congratulates
both OF them. as well as others
who are interested in the San Be
nito proposition, upon the sue
cessful Inauguration of the first
pump today.

amounts to $1,000 per week, de-
spite the money panic. Large
gangs of hands are at work, some
engaged in dredging on the canal,
some putting in the head gate on
the river front, some building
locks. and some clearing. It will
probably be some months before
the main canal is finished, " he
added, as We have enlarged the
system SO greatly beyond the orig
inal plans.
The pump that will be turned Oh
tomorrow" he continued, will fill
one of the laterals which is about
six or eight miles long, and which
will carry water to the Landrum
and Hicks farms. -
Col. Haywood announced that
the depot building at San Benito
will be finished by Jan. Is. 1t is
the largest depot building on the
Brownsville road, being forty feet
longer than those at Kingsville and
Brownsville, although similar to
them in design. It includes both
freight. passenger and express de-
partments.
The handsome residence which
Col. Haywood is erecting at San

rounded by several acres of beauti-
full lawns and orchards.

The Other Side.

In the last issue Of the Journal
Prof. o. +. Morton is out in q card
in which he denies the authorship
of certain editorials appearing in
the Journal for the past two
months. Our information is dia-
metrically the opposite and the
phraseology decidedly Mortonian.
Further, Mr.. Morton cannot deny
the authorship Of certain vitriolic
and vituperative editorials which
were defamatory of The ARGUS
and its friends during the absence
of the editor of the Journal. While
penning those editorials he took
refuge behind the armor of the
Journal. When THE ARGUS re-
torts DIR. Morton objects to taking
dose of his own medicine. Even
in his card he displays his venom
and endeavors to create that preju-
dice against THE ARGUS which he
alleges is the intention of THE
ARGUS in its editorial paragraphs.
This we most emphatically deny.
THE ARGUS would not, if it
could, do an injury to any person
in Preston county. What it has
said about Prof. Morton and the
Journal has been said in accord
ance with the ethics of politics
and in defense of its friends and
the political party which it repre-
sents.
If Prof. Morton, who admits
that he has done editorial work
on the Journal, will refer to the
files of THE ARGUS and the Jour
nal, he will discover that the for
mer has been more temperate in
its language in the discussion OF
politics than the Journal. THE
ARGUS does not discuss politics
with any personal feeling toward
its contemporaries, but in the
game of politics we may expect
to receive an occasional solar
plexus blow that leaves its mark.
THE ARGUS can bear testimony to
the excellent Workmanship OF
some of its contemporaries.
But so long as the game of pol
tiles continues and the Journal in.
dulges in its TRADE of abuse OF
THE ARGUS and its friends, it can
not reasonably hope to be placed
on the immune list. In an open
field and fair fight THE ARGUS
is willing to bow to the verdict Of
the people.
The ARGUS does not mean to
question the veracity of Prof. Nor.
ton, but it must confess that il
thinks the gentleman has been
unusually slow in publishing his
denial.

The Slush Laden Waste Basket.

If some day a newspaper man
should print the contents OF his
waste basket there would probably
be riot. There wonld certainly
be war in many homes, arrests in
some districts, shotguns IN others,
trouble all around. But the patron
of newspaper never sees the waste
basket. He only glances at the
beautiful printed pages-complains
if one letter in fifty is upside down,
growls his disappointment If one
name in five hundred happens to be
spelled wrong, frowns because they
didn't take his advice about publish
ing the names of those not keeping
snow off the sidewalks, and is gen
orally disgruntled not so much at
wha, he finds as at what he fails to
find. He knows his share of the
waste basket, but If he could have
one look at the contributions made
to that recepticle by his neighbois
and friends he would thank God for
the existence of some one who would
not print all he knows aud to tenn.
per even that which he does print.

Looks Like an upheavaI.

There is evidence cropping out
that lthe Republicans Of Taylor

itiated Of the fold The surface
buildings would indicate to the
scientist that there is an upheaval
close at hand on account Of Knots
avenue. The Sentinel and Re
publican have begun fencing pre-
paratory TO inserting the lance into

lican painfully alleges that the

is not altogether ia The hands Of

Atone time the old town, which
hangs on the side Of the bill, was

but since they got The marble

temporaries showing signs Of i'm
