cry has revolutionized the science of
naval warfare throughout the whole
world. There are now 270 vessels in

where at n time, in Washington's
administration, there was not one.
OF these there are Is battleships of
the first and second class, carrying
guns into whose mouth this country's

the navy Essex Hopkins, might easily

an outraged continental congress sum-

History of American Navy.
The first appropriation made for a
navy for this country was that Of the
continental congress In 1875, and the
sum of $1,000 was expected to pur-
chase, equip and generally outfit 1S
ships. For the present year, ending
July, 1908, the navy will have needed
$125 041 .399, an increase of SIS, 900, O0C

4 GOOD MOVE.

The example set by the city of
Corpus Christi in endeavoring to
have Mr.. Campbell, the discoverer
of the system of dry-farming,
which promises 10 revolutionize
farming methoGs throughout the
Southwest, to come and lecture on
the subject to the farmers of
Nueces County, should be follow
ed promptly by the citizens of
Brownsville and vicinity.
If Mr.. Campbell visits Corpus
Christi, it would doubtless be an
easy matter to have him come to
Brownsville to deliver his lecture
here. The Caller is urging the
business men of that city to con-
tribute to the fund which must be
raised to secure Mr.. Campbell's
presence there, and THE HERALD
feels that the business men of
Brownsville should feel it equally
incumbent upon them to contribute
towards such an expense in order
TO secure the services of this able
man for the benefit of the farming
Interests of this section.
AS everyone knows, the welfare
Of the business Interests of a COM
nunity depends upon and is very
closely interviewer with the wei
fare of the agricultural interests of
the surrounding country. When
crops are plentiful, the merchants
aud all lines of business thrive,
and when crops fail, they suffer
correspondingiy. Therefore any
move or discovery which may help
the farmer should interest the local
business man or woman. That
Che new system of dry-farming has
already proven a great success in
the semi-arid sections of Colorado,
Nebraska, Kansas and other states
is vouched for by prominent journ-
ais. An article copied. elsewhere
in THE HERALD from the Calves
ton News substantiates the claim.
Believing that the farming inter
ests in this immediate section
might be vastly benefited by the
adoption of improved methods by
which the moisture that is some
times vouch-safed to this country
in too limited. Quantity might be
made the most of, THE HERALD
would urge both farmers and bust
ness people, both town and coun-
try, to pay attention to this subject
and see fit would not be wise
step to follow Corpus Christi ex-
ample. The testimony of F. F. |
Collins of the San,Antonio vicinity, |
who conducts one of the most sue
cessful irrigated farms in Texas, in
favor of the Campbell system should |
have much weight with those who |
are interested in the subject.

iiow Famous Composition Came to
Be Written.
The story of how one of Paderew-
skis most popular compositions
came to be written was told recently
in London by the famous corhpos-
er's wife.
1t was in these early days when
the master pianist was a professor
at the Warsaw conservatoire, and
the scene was the home of the
Polish poet, Swietzochowski, who
had just expressed the opinion that
no living composer could compare
in beauty and simplicity with Mo
Fart. At the moment Ignace Pa
derewsk merely shrugged his
shoulders. But the following even
ing he appeared, asking permission
to play for the poet a little Mo
zartian thing which perhaps he did
not know Then he played his own
now famous minuet.
"Ahw exclaimed Swietzochow-
ski triumphantly as the last note
died away. 'Now you must ac-
knowledge that composition ike
that could not have been written in
our time"
perhaps" came the quiet reply,
''only it happens that 1 composed
it this very forenoon" = Lippin-
colts Magazine.

HOW TO SMILE
Don't Smile at All Unless You Can
Smile a Pretty, Open Smilo.

Don't Smile at All Unless You Can
Smile Pretty, Open Smiie.
Unless you can smile beautiful
smile there isn't much use Of trying
to push your way onward in this world
Of misery. If things come your way,
all we'll and good. If they don't, you
can't make them. A smile is neces-
sary in most cases to right things. II
you don't know how to smile or can't
smile, you are badly off.
Here is the recipe for q smile:
One pair Of red lips that turn up
| ward at the corners, the redGer the
better, and the sharper the upward
curve the pcettier the lips viii be. The
. lips should also Be full AM what is
called ripe. II your lips are not ripe"
You must learn how to ripen them.
For your smile, which is to be
permanent one, always ready when
! wanted, you VIII need a set OF dimples.
One will answer if you have no more
| But it should be located in the chr.
A chin dimple makes all the difference
In the world when one is counting up
ones good looks; in a smile it is hall
the battle.
In your smile you really ought to
have cheek diiIples. But these are
difficult unless your face is fat. Stili
they are not impossible even to the
thin checked girl. Dinlples are SO de-
lightful when you are smiling. They
are cheerful and persuasive.
Dentistry at home seems impossible.
yet there are certain preventives
which may come under the head Of
dentistry. The teeth play a very Inn
portant part in the smile-in fact, there
can be said to be no smile at all I'M
less the teeth are nice; otherwise the
smile is mere grimace. 1t should not
be attempted.
The habit of holding the hand up In
front of the lips when one smiles to
hide a defect in the teeth is to be de-
plored. 1t makes the one who smiles
look awkward, and it defeats itself in
that it merely calls attention to the
fact that the teeth are poor. Don't
smile at all unless you can smile q
pretty, open smile.

Yesterday the Abrams brothers of

went out riding on two cayuses Sc
cured of local livery. Bertie's ami
NAL became filled with an uncontrol-

awhile, and thereby is involved a
misadventure which had it's sequel
at police headquarters this morning.
"Gor blawn mah," said BERTHE, as
the festive animal pricked up it's
ears, emitted cry like that of a
wild zebra let loose from the me-
nagerie, and plunged in the direc-
ton of the barn. 81 do believe, old
chap, that the blawsted critter is go

But advice. was futile. The horse
ran like q favorite at Sheepshead

was to put the spurs to his animal
