So you are 81?
And you stand up clear eyed,
clean-minded to look all the world
squarely in the eye. You are a
man!
Did you ever think, son how
much it has cost to make a man
out of you?
Someone has figured up the cost
in moneys@of rearing a child. He
says to bring up a young man to
legal age, care for him and educate
him, costs $25, 900. Which is lot
of money to put into flesh and
blood.
But that isn't all.
You have cost your father many
hard knocks and short dinners and
worry and gray streaks i'll his hair
And your mother-ah, boy, you
will never know You have cost
her days and nights of anxiety and
wrinkles in her dear face aud
heartaches and sacrifice.
It has been expensive to grow
you.
But
If you are what we think you
are, you are worth all you cost
and much. much more.

staunch heart he thinks you are
the finest ever. And as for the lit
tie mother, she simply cannot keep
her love aud pride for you out of
her eyes.
You are a man now.
And some time you must step
into your fathers shoes. He
wouldn't like you to call him old,
but Just the same he isn't as young

Doesn't that. sober you Twenty

Your father has done fairly well,
but you can do bettek You may
not think so, but he does. He has
given you a better chance than he

Guatemala PickpoclSess and Thei'
Whirlwind MeShods.


WhirIwind MethOds.
Il once thought the New York
pickpocket about the slickest in tho
world" said a detective just back
from Central America with a pris-
oner, "but the Guatemala operators
have our local artists beaten to an
omelet.
II was standing at the corner Of
one of the main streets of a Guate-
mala city about noon one afternoon
watching the handful Of people
abroad. a prosperous looking man
passed me. 1 took particular notice
of him because he appeared to be
well decorated with jewelry. He
had heavy finger rings, a massive
raw gold watch chain and earrings
of a curious pattern. I was think
ing how he would delight a New
York pickpocket as he halted few
yards away TO look into his wallet,
a fat, bulky affair.
Gust then young man about
six yards distant gave a shout and
ran toward the man with the wallet
and jewelry. The latter started
and stood perplexed for just about
two seconds. In that time l saw
the young man run into him, knock
him down by the force of the col
ision and race toward me. As ne
came I saw him stow away the
mans watch, several rings and the
wallet.
Il shouted and made spring for
him. He ran into me, lodged a
swing l made>at him and was across
the street in an inconceivably short
time. l started after him and saw
him run into a third man. The
third man tried to hold him, but he
might as well have tried to catch a
bunch of forked lightning. The
man was away and up an alley in
two minutes after he had run into
the first of us.
T'When we compared notes it was
found that he had skinned the first
mans fingers Of rings, got one of
the earrings, the wallet and the
watch and chain. Third man had
lost a handsome pin from his tie
and his watch and chain.
"'What did you lose" they asked
me.
"1 haven't lost anything said
Then one of them pointed at my
tie, which had become undone.

wallet, a stick pin, my watch and
chain. I got my property back
through the chief of police. He
sent for the chief of the gang and
made him hold up the young oper-
ator for the goods. The operator

Corpus Christi Caller.
THE FARMER SACRIFICED.
Representative Burleson has
raised question at Washington
which will bring about a revolu-
ton in the handling of public
monies. This government of ours
IS a paternal government when the
sgilded butterflies of the stock job
s6ing dens in the east get into
trouble it is as mentionless
as the sphinx when the cry of the
farmer is heard calling for help to
save him from the crafty speculat-
sJrs after the real wealth created by
the industry Of the agriculturists.
Mr.. Bu1leson called the attention
of Secretary Edwards to the provi-
sion of the recent law that the
secretary of the treasury shall
distribute the deposits herein
provided for, as far as practicable,
equally between the different
States and sections, and also to
the policy of the treasury to inter
Dret the provision for security,
by United States bonds or other
wise" so as to permit the accep-
lance of other than United States
bonds as security for deposits.
His proposition was that the
treasury distribute S1O.OOO,0Oo of
deposits among the Southern banks
accepting the banks security of
warehouse receipts for cotton at
Is per cent of the market value.
He represented to the secretary
shat the warehouse certificates
would be much betteE- security
ghau any municipal bonds now &C
cepted to secure deposits, in that
they represented an actual value
tour times greater than the amount
20 be secured, and that by having
She deposits of $1O,0OO,OOO in
Southern banks at this time the
cotton growers might be saved
from making a sacrifice to foreign
purchasers in the neighborhood
of $3.50, 100000.
OF course, the matter will be
taken up by the department, says
the secretary, but as all the ready
money has been loaned to the men
IN Wall street, it is unlikely that
shat any assistance will be given
90 save the farmer.
AS representative Burleson says:
'Ee the cotton producer is forced
30 sell his cotton because the banks
zxfIE no longer longer advance him
Eroney, and for the purpose of
bringing foreign money into this
country for the relief of the stock
market, it will mean that the crop
vii be sold for about $3.50 .OO0,-
900 below what it should bring
aud that the advantage of this
forced sale will accrue to the for
.eign purchaser, and that much
money, which should come to this
country, going into the pockets of
our farmers, will be held abroad.
A forced sale of the cotton crop
at whatever sacrifice of price would
Of course, bring large volume of
money to this country, but it is
very poor economics to force the
sale of a commodity of actual
value by the producer in order to
zucrease the volume of money i'm
znediately available to sustain the
value of the stocks. .

BISBEE mines SHUT DOWN
Fuel Shortage Given as a Cause
Efforts Being Made to Union
ize the Camp.

Bisbee. Ariz.. Feb. 13.-Seven hundred
miners were laid off in Bisbee today. The
reason given was that there was short
age in fuel and lumber and that in order
to make some necessary repairs e was
decided to close down some of the shafts.
Today the Big Spray shaft Of the Copper
Queen company was idle. This is one
of the big producing shafts of the dis
trict and employs about 800 mon. The
announcement is made that in all prob
ability the Car shaft will be idle To-
morrow. There is a general belief that
the situation is directly due 10 the at
tempt being made by organizers of the
Bisbee a union camp. The officials of
the company. however. refuse 20 admit
that this is the cause OF the company
action. The men laid off are leaving for
other camps in Mexico and Nevada.

LITTLE BABY
CURED OF ECZEMA
Parents Applied TO Hospitals and
Doctors but Could Get No Re-
Iief-Grew Worse Under Doctors
Prescription = Friends Recon-
mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

eve express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old We
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each Of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re-
lief. A physician recommended salve
which we threw into the fire after two
days use as the eczema became worse
so that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
US Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
ment, costing in all $l.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead Of
throwing it into the doctors lap. /
myself only make twelve dollars week
as a teamster, but / recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. C. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East

HOW OUR GOOD OLD GRAND
MOTHERS CURED COUGHS AND

Our grandmothers had the right idea:
when any one had a cough or cold on
the lungs in their day, the good old goose
grease and turpentine were trotted out
and the chest was plastered good and
thick and a piece of flannel was put
on: ther d tea was made of flaxseed. with
addition of sugar. hcorice and lemon
juice-pretty good stuff. too Why? Be
cause the principle was all right.
The writer was talking to one Of the
leading local druggists about this the
other day and remarked that they didn't
do things like they used to.
The druggist remarked that there was
one firm that mad started on the right
track and had brought the good old prin-
ciples of our grandmothers down to date
He then went and brought out q pack
age of the BROMO COUGH REMEDY
and showed the writer. Upon opening the
package the writer found a BROMO
COUGH PLASTER and bottle Of
COUGH MIXTURE. The druggist ex-
planned that the plaster was to put on
the chest tc relieve the congestion on
the lungs that usually accompanied
coughs and colds. This loosened up the
cough. just like the goose grease
did. making il easy for the cough mix
ture to do it's work.
The writer thought this a pretty clever
idea and certainly a most practical ono
incidentally the druggist remarked that
the whole package only cost 30 cents, SO
you really get the plaster free.
