Couldn't Fool Him Twice.

The heavy CLOUDS were massing in
the west the lightning was flashing,
and the thunder was rumbling ON
inously.
The fond mother gathered her young
hopeful to her, and tried logically to
calm his fears.
There's no danger, dear. God
sends the thunder storm to clear the
air. water the flowers, and make
things cool. You mustn't De fright
ened. 1t won't harm you, ana every
thing will be better when it's over"
The little chap listened intently,
and when his mother finished he look
ed at her quizically.
No, no, mamma" he murmured;
you talk exactly the way you did
last week when you took me to the
dentist to have that tooth pulled"

that you understand the Browns do

Yes" replied the other matrOn,
with a sigh. Yes, my husband does
all of these things. I do not have a
happy life because of his prejudices
in such matters. Say that an init
mate friend of mine comes to see me
and we talk in the library, where he
apparently is deep in the newspaper.
We are immensely interested in our
subject. when | hear faint cough.

that Mrs Robinson plays bridge every

After my friend goes l receive the
most awful lecture about the abyss

that the end of all scandal-mOngers is

be no grief to a man like knowing
that he has a gossip for a wife.

panion, in anything but an amused
manner. Tell you why. The other
evening Ned and one of his friends

ostensibly reading in the drawing
room. | wish you could have heard
their conversation. I listened with de-
liberate intent. and l distinctly heard
them declare that a Mr.. ArrOwrOot
could not meet his obligations. Ned
said he had indorsed one note for him
and had to pay it. and he never in
tended to indorse another. They said
his business would go into the hands
of a receiver. They talked also of a
Charlie somebody who was
going to the bow-wows by the race
horse route, whatever that may mean.
The other man said Charlie was a
plunger, but he wasn't in it with his
brother Frank and thus the talk went
on.
After the other man had gone I
went and sat on the arm of Ned's
chair and spoke to him like mother.
DO you approve of backbiting. Ned?'

sonal gossip is either right or elevat-
ing?'
He said he did not, and that he was
glad I had commenced to see the mat
ter in a proper light.

What lie Kicked About.

Sometime since a burglar rob-
bed a house near here and was
afterward captured and identified
by the man whose house he had
so boldly entered and ransacked.
At the trial he was easily convicted,
and when it came time to impose
the sentence the judge commanded
him to stand up.
Prisoner at the bar said his
honor, have you anything to say
before the sentence of this court is
passed upon you?"
Yes" answered the prisoner
with show of indignation. I
don't mind going to jail, but hate
like blazes to BE identified by man
that kept his head under the bed
clothes all the time I was in the

Baptist Churches for Mer-

From Rev. w. H. Petty, who
returned last night from visit to
Mercedes, THE HERALD learns
that S. P. Silver, manager of the
American Rio Grande Canal Com
pany, has given two lots in the new
town of Mercedes for Baptist
church, and also probably will
donate lots for a parsonage. Mr..
Petty also reports very gratifying
success at Raymondville, where lots
have been donated by the Raymond
vile Town and Improvement COM
pany for a church, besides which
S765 in cash has been subscribed
towards the building. OF this sum
$500 was the gift of DR.. G. F.
LeGrand.
Mr.. Petty naturally feels much
elated over his success and the
Baptists deserve congratulations
upon possessing such an active
promoter of their interests in this
section.
Plaus will be prepared fer the
churches at both of these places,
and the buildings viii probably be
begun early in the spring.

ALL WRONG.
The Mistake is Made by Many Browns
vile Citizens.

Don't mistake the cause Of
backache.
To be cured you must know the
cause.
1t is wrong to imagine relief is
cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You must cure the kidneys.
A Brownsville resident tells you
how this can be done.
A Sergeant retired U. S.
A, living on Fifteenth ST.,
Brownsville, Texas, says: For
several years past I had trouble
with my kidneys. 1t took the form
of excessive and too frequent pas
sages of the kidney secretions. l
often had to get up four or FIVE
times during the night to urinate.
I tried different remedies, but
found no relief from any of them
until I got Doan's Kidney Pills
from J. L. Putegnat & Bro. S
drug store. Before 1 had taken one
box of this medicine the action of
the kidneys had become quite
normal and regular. From this
experience 1 believe that Doan' S
Kidney Pills will cure any body
afflicted with kidney troubles.

ISLAND KINGDOM AND DRAGON.

ISLAND KINGDOM AND DRAGON.
 A Kansas man who has been making a study of China and Japan gets off this epigramatic expression; When the dragon stands up the Island King dom will be lost in the shadow" This would be obscure to one who doesn't know what the key is. By Island Kingdom" he means Japan. and by the dragon" he refers to the awak- ening of China. The meaning. there fore. is that when China fully awakes to her opportunities and stands at full height the little nation of Japan will be so overshadowed that it will no longer be visible.
 As an epigram the remark is good, but perhaps 1t is nothing more, though we may admit that there is at least a thread of probability In it. Unless we are mistaken, history has no record of sucb a marvellous rise by any peo- ple or Kingdom as has taken place in Japan. When. but little more than half century ago Commodore Perry conducted naval expedition to the little island and established treaty with the government it was almost like discovering a new people. for the Japanese were almost unknown to the outside world. Even after that the rise and awakening was slow up to a very recent period. But within de- eade or little more the growth of Ja- nan in both civil and military life. ir commerce. manufactures, influence and mower, has been without a psrallel ir the history of nations. From being ar insignificant little island and an al most unconsidered people, the Nippor Empire has become a power in the family of nations.

ONE OF THE OLD GUARD.

Another representative of & fast dis appearing type of Alabama citizenship, which honored the State disappeared when Colonel Sutton s. Scott passed to his reward at his home in Auburn. He belonged to the older order. whose integrity and purity of life made for the Southern leader the fame which stiu endures. Colonel Scott brought from another generation an exempli- fleation of the graces of a scholar and a gentleman.
 His was a long and useful fife, and he lived 1t according to the high ideals of that class which he so fttingly rep resented. There was never a stain upon his name. He made it stand for culture, for integrity and for service. It was we'll that he was spared so long, for his life was an example for the young men of Alabama, one they might we'll emulate.
 A half century ago Colonel Scott was a member of the Alabama Legislature and honored by his fellows. He served ably and well the Confederate gov ernment as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. When the white men of Ala bama came into their own after re- construction. the wisest and strongest men of the State were sent to frame a new Constitution and Colonel Scott was among them. In after years Col onel Scott was honored by President Cleveland by an appointment as Com missioner of Indian Affairs for the United States.
 In the midst of busy life he found time to make noteworthy contributions to the literature of Alabama. His de- clining days were spent restfully and with dignity at Auburn. An honored name. a life of service and stainless name, make a legacy that is better than great riches.

THE rARmrns PROSPERITY.

Certainly no class of men have brighter prospects just now than the farmers. No matter in what portion of the United States they may live, the indications for at least average yield from their land are good. The prices they receive are far above those pre- yailing a few years ago, as every non producer can feelingly testify. The cotton grower in the South even with smaller crops will receive almost as much as for larger crops. Comment ing on the agricultural situation The Boston Globe says:
 "Al1 the news that comes from the farms of the country in these piping times of prosperity tells Of greater and greater earnings for the American farmer. It is said that these earn ings for 1907 will amount to upward of a billion dollars more than last year. Marvellous as the gains in ag- riculture have been, The American Ag- riculturist predicts an even better era of good times.
 "rhe vast industrial prosperity of the last ten years has been based on the great agricultural revival of 1s97 Since then the farmer, who for six years of indifferent crops had worn a somber visage, has, with reason, been chuckIing softly. Last year was the bumper season for farm productions, which will be 10 per cent less this year, but the crops of 1907 will equal fully the average yield for five sea- sons previous to 1906. -.
 'NThe yield of corn this year prom ises to be, with two or three excep- tions, the largest in our history, and there will be nearly the usual quanti- ty of rye, barley. buckwheat, flaxseed and potatoes, while there will be a heavier hay crop than last years. and anples will be much more plentiful than in 1906, But it is the increase of value, 4ofgsetting the decrease in vol ume In such crops as wheat and oats, which will make the total value of each crop considerably larger than last season.
