Settling a Bot.

The quiet of the room in which
the answers to queries editor sat
was disturbed by the entrance of
two half grown boys. One of them
pulled off his hat and addressed
him:
"Me and this Teller have made a
bet" he said, "and we've agreed to
leave it to you. He bets that if all
the turkeys that was EFT last Christ
mas was placed in a line they would
reach around the world, and I bet
they wouldn't. Who's lost?"
'You have, my son." answered
the man in the chair. ''They might
be placed a mile apart and they
would still be in a line, you know. "
As they turned and went out of
the room the boy who had acted as
spokesman was seen to hand a
small coin over to the other with
great reluctance and distinctly
heard to say:
"Well, I can lick you, anyhow"
'EBet you a nickel on that, toe"
replied the other boy.

TUESDAY MARCH II, 1907.
THE WATERWORKS DUES
TON.

From present indications, 1t
looks as if the parties who are sup
posed to be figuring on the Browns
vile water and light franchise will
fall down" on the proposition.
As there never was a fairer propo-
sition, especially with the citizens
putting up $500 in cash to back
up the franchise, it begins to look
as if the private ownership idea is
going to be a failure right at the
start. If so, then after all the peo-
pie of Brownsville will have to
come to THE HERALD's plan of mu-
nicipal ownership, and the sooner
that is done, the better. 1t IS GER
tain that our people can not en-
dure. to be without waterworks any
longer than is absolutely unavoid-
able, and, with private ownership
abandoned, there will be nothing
else to do except for the city to go
to work and build system. To
do so, of course, would require an
election by taxpayers to authorize
i bond issue for that purpose. The
HERALD is getting information on
the subject which will be-published
shortly, to show that such pro-
ject is both feasible and practical
BILE. A letter from a prominent
civil engineer giving some strong
arguments in favor of city owner
ship will be published in tomor
rows HERALD.
Meanwhile, it may as well be
understood that Brownsville must
and will have waterworks and
lights, and anyone who opposes it
will be branded as an enemy of the
public welfare, and a drag on the
wheels of progress.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


The following helpful hints for
housekeepers have been especially
culled for THE HERALD:
One of the best preparations for
taking out grease stains is made by
mixture of one pint of deodorized
benzine, one-half dram each of
chloroform and alcohol, and few
drops of clear cologne. Apply to
the garment with a silk cloth.
This mixture may be used in water
in which delicate colored silks are
washed, since It will not injure the
finest material.
Powdered alum applied to fever
sore will prevent it from becoming
unsightly or noticeable.
A patent for paper waistcoats
has been taken out in Switzerland.
They will cost only 4 cents, and
are said to be warmer than a
wooden garment.
If little -four IS sprinkled in
the pan when eggs are being fried
it will prevent the hot grease from
suffering on the stove!
Ivory knife-handles that have
grown yellow with age or bad usage
may be whitened by rubbing gently
with fine sandpaper, and then
polishing up with clean chamois
leather.
To quickly remove ink stains
from any fabric, place the stain
over steam and apply salt and
lemon juice. The stain, whether
old or new, will be removed almost
Immediately.
