THt, Even SCALES.

The basic principle o. Saxon JUS
tice is that a man charged with crime
shall be held innocent until he has
been proven guilty In France Grim
inal jurisprudence assumes the con
trary. There the accused must prove
his innocence. In TimbuctOO it is
.srll different. In Timbuctoo TO be ac-
cused by the state is merely a brief
preliminary TO the attendance of the
eXecutiOner
This republic is neither darkest
Timbuctoo nor savage France. Judi
ciallv 10 stands for even bit more
than the square deal It's common
law sups all its inspiration from a
race which fights fairly and rather
likes the under dog
The common sense OF q fair-fight-
ing race has imbedded itself in our
criminal practice. Both our primary
principles and our general statutes
, hold fast to the theory that in order
to secure conviction the state must
prove crime.

THE VALUE or 4 NOBLE itfE.

There are men who live SO WORTH
ly and bear their part IN sife so
hrayelv and modestly and faithfully
that when they pass away and go TO
receive the reward reserved Tor those
who are faithful unto death the
memory they leave behind Is rs the
SAVIOR of sweet incense lingering To
bless those who breathe the atmos-
phere in which such a life has dwell.
The authorities of the University
OF Texas follow the most commend
able custom Of preserving and per
petnating the tributes paid after
death 10 those who have been con
nected in any responsible capacity
with that institution. and many such
tributes are most worthy of preser-
walton, says the Houston Chronicle.
Though several years have passed
since Judge Robert s. Gould died
nothing OF the beauty and force and
worth of the verbal offerings laid
upon his bier, and the loving tributes
paid his memory. has been lost by
the lapse of years, nor has the value
of such life been lessened
The example of such life is a
heritage of all the people of Texas.
for that life was in most part spent
here. He served Texas in various ca
pacities. and it can but serve use
ful purpose to recall the outlines of
a career so marked by truth, courage,
fidelity, conscientious discharge OF
his duty, and withal by such sincere
shrinking modesty.
To contemplate such a life can not
fail to encourage aspiring youth,
confidence of man in his
fellow man, and prove that modest
merit. scrupulous cleanliness of iiV-
ing and proved capacity can not fail
OF recognition.
1t is never too late to pay tribute
TO such a character or hold up such
a career as an example to those who
are heirs TO the inheritance of its
memory and influence.
From a poor, struggling lawyer in
country village he rose by sheer
force of merit to the chief lusticeship
OF the supreme court of Texas, ana
between the beginning of his career
in Texas to the day when he reached
the Hottest position in the line OF his
profession lay quarter of century
of arduous service, of poverty, hard
ship and danger.
At his country's call he girded on
his sword and for four years was on
the fighting line an shed his blood IN
defense OF the land of his birth, and
whether on the bench, at the bar or
the battlefield, or in private life, he
was the same modest. courtly
clean. courageous, knightly, honest,
Christian gentleman, without fear
and without reproach.
Blessed is the state which had so
worthy son, and she will never be
able to present TO her sons who shall
come after him worthier exemplar
than Robert Simonton Gould.

rNDERGRDUND WATERS OF
TEXAS.

| The underground waters OF the
/ Texas Coastal Plain, which during
recent years have become OF eonsfd-
terable economic Importance. Tor the
subject OF paper just issued by the
United States Geological Survey as
Water Supply Paper No. lso, The
author is Prof. Thomas L Taylor. of
the University of Texas. who has
spent q number Of years fnvestigat-
ling ground water conditions In that
state.
The Coastal Plain OF Texas is 4
continuation of the Atlantic Coastal
Plain, although ii differs from that
area in many important features, II
consists in general of gently Stop
ing plain, about $50 miles wide. ly-
ing between the Gulf Coast and a
line connecting TeNarkana with Del
Rio and running through Cooper,
Greenyille, Corsicana. Cameron. Ell
gin and San Antonio. On the west,
from Del Rio TO the Colorado river,
lit is bordered by what is known as
the Edwards Plateau" and from
the Colorado river 10 the Arkansas
state line by the BLACK Prairie. Its
area is about 5.0o0 square miles.
In eastern Texas the Coastal Plain
has the general character of that OF
the Southern states; but in its south
western extension that character is
more or less modified and ii wild
ems in the vicinity of the Rio Grande,
where there is great embayment
similar to that OF the Mississippi.
The surface rises gradually from the
sea level to an elevation OF 500 TO
900 feet along the inner margin of
the province. The region is traversed
by many rivers, the largest being
Neches. Trinity, Brazos, Nueces, and
eos enters the Gulf directly, all the
others empting into lasoons or bays.
Notwithstanding its many streams
much of the region is poorly drained.
and in places water stands in lakes
or ponds throughout the year.
Ground water, which is usually
abundant throughout the district,
has been used there for many years
for general domestic purposes, and
a few small irrigation plants have de-
rived their water supply from this
source Within recent years artesian
wells have been obtained in various
parts of the region, the depth at
which the water is found ranging
from a few feet to over 1000 feet,
with the average at about 600. Three
of the largest cities in the region de
rive their entire city water supply
from artesian sources. The flow of
the wells varies from 90 to 1900 gal
Ions per minute.
Professor Taylor's report discusses
the various water resources OF this
| important district by counties and
gives all available information, col
/ lecred from many sources. concern
| ing both shallow and deep wells. The
many chemical analysis included in
dictate that. while the water of the
! Coastal Plain wells is more or less
mineralized. the dissolved salts are
as rule neither objectionable for
| domestic purposes nor deleterious to
plant growth. The report may be OBJ
tanned by applying to the director Of
the United States Geological Survey,

THE ART OF TALKING.
Things That Are Essential to a Good
Converse tiOnalist.


Conversatio
To be good conversationallst you
must be spontaneous, buoyant, natural,
sympathetic, and must have spirit of
good will. You must feel a spirit of
helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest others.
You must get the attention Of people
and hold it by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by warm
sympathy-a real, friendly sympathy.
If you are cold, distant and unsympa-
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be good conversationalist you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow,
stingy soul never talks well. A man
who is always violating your sense Of
taste, Of justice and of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, and when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut off, and the con-
versation is perfunctory, mechanical
and without life or feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
to you, must open your heart wide and
exhibit a broad, free nature and an
open mind. You must be responsive.
so that a listener will throw wide open
every avenue of his nature and give
you free access to his heart Of hearts.

BnNs a Million Apple Trees.

The Washington Nursery company
at Toppenish has just closet con-
tract with the Arcadia Irrigation as
sociation Of Spokane for the sale OF
| 200, 000 apple trees. This is believed
to be the largest single sale of apple
trees ever consumated by any nurse
ry.
The Arcadia company is develop
ing and planting an immense tract OF
land near Spokane.
The Northern Pacific Is building a
large icehouse above town for use in
icing refrigerator cars. The quantity
Of fruit shipped from Toppenish
makes this action necessary. The
company is also building a large ware
house adjoining for hay and grain
storage. The railroad company is al.
so bnilding an ice plant at North
Yakima.
Five below zero Monday and
Wednesday mornings of this week
marked the lowest record of the cold
snap at Torpenish thus far. This
morning the record was two above
and indications now point to an early
change fol the warmer. The seven
inch snow as we'll as the extreme cold
are both very rare In this locality, it
being several years since either have
occurred to such an extent.
The thompson Fruit company OF
North Yakima who are extensive
packers and shippers and have two
hundred acre ranch across the river
In Parker Bottom, are about to build
large packing plant and warehouse
