Louis Jaehn of Springfield spent a
few days with his folks this week.
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1907-09-26
(COntinued from last week.

1t is easy or some women to be
interesting, and it is easy for 9th
ers to be good, but it seems to be
the most difficult thing in the
world for woman to be continu-
ally irresistible, but Ruth possessed
this attractive quality.
Fred spent the afternoon with
the billiards on the wide veranda
of their coy dwelling, forgetting
time in the enjoyment of the sur
rounding scenery and his compan.
ions. The sun went down behind
the western mountains, leaving the
beauty Of an afterglow reflected
on the hills and on the waters OF
the mountain broolzlet. The moon
climbed the eastern sky and threw
its rays among the clinging vines
that grew in profusion about the
billiard home.
A feeling of peace and content
ment-possibly dangerous-stole
into his heart. The unseen, potent
force that sooner or later binds us
with silken cord, was tllrongine
him to future destiny--a destiny
wherein God would make him a
party to the most sacred covenant
among the children of men.
When it is all said and done,
the only real happiness the world
affords men is the companionship
of a sweet and noble woman clever
and sensible, a compromise, not a
comedy, one who understands life
and accepts it with the salute OF a
princess and the shrug of philos-
opher.

THE STAGE DRIVER.

scriptiye letters. The inspirat!an

mountains, smell of pines, beautiful

MANY MOoRS SLAIN.
Sultan's Troops Defeat Large Force
of Moroccan Rebels.

The Sultan's troops are reported to
have feated again large force of the
knass tribesmen, in whose territory Caid
Sir Harry MacLean has bean held cap
tive. Six hundred Moors were killed and
several of their villages were burned.
In Paris the Moroccan situation is re-
garded as having assumed a distinctly
more serious aspect. The ferment in the
interior of Morocco, the proclamation of
Mulai Hafiz, the Sultan's brother, as sui
tan by a section of the rebels, and the
appearance of a new Moorish army before
Casablanca have created fear that the
whole country soon will be ablaze with
fanaticism.
More than 1000 colonial infantry, cav
airy and troops of other arms have been
modified at Oran and are ready to EN-
bark on board transports, and other trans
ports and warships are in readiness at
Mediterranean ports to sail for Morocco.
Public sentiment is becoming stronger
against the halfway measures, which, it
is feared, will lead to disaster. The Paris
papers assert that the world must sup
port France if it is decided to send
military expedition to Fee, as in no other
way, the newspapers say, can the state
of anarchy in Morocco be ended. The
government, however, is resisting this
pressure, desiring to keep within the
bounds of the ,Algeciras convention, and
reports that negotiations are under way
Cor an enlargement of the mandate of the
powers are emphatcally denied. Never
theless it is admitted, even in official cir
cles, that something might happen which
would place an entirely new complexion
on the situation and compel France, in
the name of the powers to chastise Mo-
rocco

FIRES DESTROY FORESTS.
About 1880 Acres of Timber De-
stroyed in New England.

Unusually dry conditions in the forests
throughout Massachusetts, caused by the
absence Of rain during the last month,
shave been responsible to a large extent
for the great damage by forest fires, which
have swept through southeastern Worces-
ter county, across the Cape Cod district
and over Bristol and Plymouth counties.
About 1900 acres have been destroyed,
and in several cases the flames have not
been checked, despite the fact that $500
men are engaged in fighting them.
The extensive fires which have devas-
tated the Cape Cod forests had their
origin in small blazes caused by sparks
from locomotives, while various causes
have been responsible for the others.
Blackened trunks and smoldering embers
are all that remain in many places where
formerly were forests of marketable tim
Der and heavy underbrush.
The most extensive fire is tina: raging
IL the Douglas woods, one of the richest
areas of timberland In the State. The
flames there have devastated 5000 acres
in Massachusetts and have spread into
Connecticut, where the damage is believ-
ed to be about one-ffth as great. Begin
ming in Douglas. the fire has eaten its
way through the forest land in the towns
of Sutton. East Douglas, Webster, Mill
bury, Oxford and Bridge, and is still
spreading.

he had filed with the clerk of the court
motion for the dismissal of the suit.
Mr.. Chandler said that there We're many
reasons for this action, but that the prin-

any immediate result of decision in our
favor upon the exact issue as now framed,
compared with the burdens and disadvan-
tages to be endured by us, both before and
after such decision"

Uncle Sam is successful publisher.
He issues annually the horse book"
which has an enormous circulation. Over
million copies of the book have been
printed, and still the public demand for
it is not satisfied. Another edition of
100000 copies Of this famous volume, the
full title Of which is Special Diseases
Of the Horse" has just been ordered. This
makes over a million copies ordered, but
before the demand is supplied these will
be exhausted and Congressman will find
il necessary to go down in their pockets
to have copies Of the book printed for
constituents after using their congress

of the work may be formed from the state
ment that the first edition Of 361, 900

PlENT YoF LAW.

Mr.. Hartman thinks there is plenty
or law on the statutes of the states
and nation to direct the railroads in
the way they should go, and that any
more would simply stall the compa-
nies. This has a funny sound coming
from a man whose chief business, as
a director and owner of railwats, has
always been TO defeat. ignore, Or cir
cumvent the law: and the only reas-
enable inference is that more and new
er laws would simply increase his
task OF negativing the codes and make
him amplify his legal departments
throughout the country until the
cream of the profits would be engulfed
In the cost Of anti-legal campaign.
A closer adherence to the plain re-
quirements of the laws of the land
by the railways is the only alterna-
tive at hand for the predatory COM
bines since it Is only because their
justice has been spurned and iistort-
ed, that the railways are being snub-
bed up to newer and harsher edicts.
1t is we'll to let well-enough alone

companies are beginning to realize it,

PUTER AND HERMAN.

Our distinguished fellow citizen, S.
A D. Puter, is now at the
national capital telling his In

thievery out here, and incidentally
naming names and places and dates
and partners in the great scheme Of
which he was the mastery leader for
SO many years. "Set thief to catch
a thief" is all very well If you can
trust him to make the "bagging," but
the word of a thief, has a lacking,
hollow sound, as though there was not
mucn to it but sound. S. A. D. Puter
is raw thief, and his word Is the
word of his kind, and must be treated
as such; it is worth no more than Pu-
ter intends it to be worth, and the de-
sideratum he employs Is Puter. He
never worked for any one else in his
life, and is not now giving testimony
for any other purpose than to
smooth the way. for Puter. He may
convict Binger Herman but it will not
be in the interest of justice, but sole
ly to expedite the release and mimify
the burden of penalty for Puter. We
should hate to see even guilty man
dragged down to the laws reprisals
on such testimony as Puter's and we
believe all such convictions are tine
tured with injustice whatever the hy-
pothesis of necessity may be with the
prosecuting powers.
