SPONGE BAG.

as the one shown In the illustration.
This bag might be made In cream serge
or blanket cloth, with silk cord draw
string and tassels In crimson or blue
to match the embroidered lettering
which gives such pretty finish to
the front of the bag. The embroider-
ing should be worked In some kind of
fast dye wash silk, so that the bag
can be washed when occasion re-
quires. In pale blue linen, with white
lettering. this bag would be pretty, or
in leaf green, with lettering in pale
pink.

Gladstone Spoke In the Rain.

One day as Mr.. Gladstone was speak
Ing from the terrace rain began to fall.
With the first few drops came a voice
from the crowd Put on your hat, Mr..
Gladstone" mo- blandly responded
the veteran; "some prefer their hats
on; prefer mine off," As the rain
fell more heavily Mrs Gladstone step
ped behind her husband and held an
umbrella over his bare head. He was
over eighty at the time. Mr.. Glad
stone went fluently on, expounding the
merits of rabbit farming, but after a
time even he noticed the rain and the
umbrella. Turning to Mr& Gladstone,
he said, II will put my own up, my
DEAR" and he did so. Again the elo-
quent voice galloped on, while the rain
became heavier and heavier. Present
ly Mrs. Gladstone threw light mackin-
tosh over her husbands shoulders
The moment he felt 1t he turned quick
ly round and with some asperity said,
II won't have It," He shrugged his
shoulders, the macintosh fell, and
Mrs. Gladstone stepped back. For five
minutes more in a deluge Mr.. Glad
stone went on; then he stopped, and
we all lfled.-Manchester Guardian.

Bedroom Decorations.

Decorations and hangings for a bed
room should be of the daintiest mate
rial both In color and design.
Printed dimity is quite the prettiest
and most inexpensive to use In fur
nishing sleeping apartment. Cur
tains. bedspread, dresser covers and
chair cushions may be made Of it.
though for the latter chintz in the
same design is heavier and more de-
sirable.
In the properly appointed modern
bedroom as little furniture as possible
is used. This insures proper sanitary
conditions, for the less there Is to col
lect dust the better. y rsY

Lost and Won at Shiloh.

Many an amusing incident of army
life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi-
ography. For example, he writes thus
of a tented paradise" which was lost
and won at the battle of Shiloh: with
in our lines there was a drinking tent
on which was written Paradise 1t
was taken by the Confederates In the
first days fight, and the victors wrote
beneath its name Lost BY Beaure-
CARDS order all camp furniture was
left intact, as he expected to possess
the whole field in the morrow's strug-
gle. The Union army recovered their
ground by the second days battle, the
pleasure tent was retaken and to the
two names was added the word Re

when the baby cries, and quarrel with
the street car conductors, and get into
rows at the Office and lose our Jobs,
not because we are naturally sulky or
quarrelsome, but because we are bill
ious. Why are we bilious? Because
we don't eat onions. You never saw a

The VioIin's Scroll.

The Throwing of the scroll, or head,
of violin betrays the masters style
the same as handwriting. To an anna
teur all violin heads may appear the
same, but the connoisseur knows a
"Strad," Amati or Guarnerius at once
from the physiognomy of the scroll.

Fine SUGAR Cane.

Mr. W. S. Williams, a good citizen
of the Montalba neighborhood, called
at the Herald office yesterday, and
after giving us a dollar for his weekly
paper for another year. left us a stalk
of sugar cane about as long as a fish
ing pole, and as big around as the
presidential big stick" and as sweet
as concentrated molasses. In fact,
it was one Of the finest specimens of
cane we ever saw, and we guess Mr..
Williams has a great deal more of it,
as he was in town after molasses kegs.

bon cane syrup as is made on the
globe. and it always brings good

LARGE CONGREGATION
HEARD REV. STUART

Conditions were much improved at
the big tent last night, and Rev.
Stuart looked happy. Many new seats
with backs had been placed in the
tent, so that most Of the congregation
could sit down and lean back and be
comfortable. The choir seats had
been raised by tiers. until the back
singers could be seen and heard. And
the people were there, filling the big
tent almost full. Following the song
service. the evangelist made few
more announcements, and laid down a
few rules that he wanted observed
during the meeting. One of the rules
he wanted enforced was the leaving
of the children at home. He said the
seats in the tent would be required for
grown people. and the children would
be in the way. Another thing he
wanted understood was that he did
not want any crying babies in the aU-
dience while the service was going on
He asked that If a baby began to cry
that it be carried from the tent. quiet.
ed and then brought back. Another
thing. he said he would not stand for
any talking or laughing or misconduct
during the services. and that he would
insist on this rule il he had to call an
officer and have the offender OF Of
tenders arrested.
In making the announcements for
the future. Rev. Stuart said the meet.
ings. morning and evening. would be
held in the tent rain or shine, and
that If the weather was good he would
be there. and IL it was bad he would
he there. He again insisted that the
business houses close up for the morn
ing service.
Rev. Stuart preached from the same
text he used the night before. but
preached on an entirely different line.
and his talk was made almost entire
" to young men and women along the
line Of making opportunities. The
sermon was made up mostly of per
sOnal experiences and observations Of
the preacher, and contained some
good suggestions to the young people.
The central idea of the sermon was
that any young man or young woman
could be something in this world IL
they determined they would be. The
sermon made a good impression.

SCHOOL BOARD IN
REGULAR SESSION

The School Board held its regular
meeting on the 22nd inst, and arrang-
ed matters for the continuation of the
Fights months free school. The board
has fortunately secured the services
of Prof. White in the High School for
the term. Prof. White had agreed to
serve for the month during the pay
school, which was expected to give
time to secure a teacher in his place,
but the board, approaching his valu-
able services, has prevailed on him to
remain.
The school board is now confronted
with serious problem. The Regents
of the State University have issued a
circular letter to the high schools, ad-
vising that schools in order to affiliate
with the University, are required to
increase the grade of scholarship. and
for the term of 1908 must complete IL
units. as specified in list of studies.
and for 1909 IA units must be complet-
ed. In order to place the city schools
of Palestine in line to accomplish the
required advance in scholarship will
require an additional teacher for the
studies outlined by the Board of Reg
ents and a room suitable for labra-
tory and recitations. There is no room
available in the high school building
for such purposes, and the matter
will be up to the city council for
prompt action.
The school board appreciates the
Importance of keeping the city schools
in line with the policy Of the State
University and providing educational
facilities equal to any school in the
state.
The citizens of Palestine are inter
ested in this matter and should give
the school board every assistance in
enabling them to establish an addi-
tional grade required by the Univer-
sity.
The report of Supt. King for the
month Of pay school shows that the
white teachers received full salaries
and all expenses were paid. There
were in attendance in all schools 954.
amounting to $2,12450.

HON. c. NJ. KAY GETS
FAVORABLE MENTION

The following was sent by a staff
correspondent from Dallas to the Gal
weston News:
The banquet incident has started a
new line of talk as to the entries in
next years primaries. C. NJ Kay of
Palestine is the latest person to be
mentioned as a probable candidate for
attorney general. Mr.. Kay is in town.
and he acknowledges that the men
ton is pleasing to him. He further
more acknowledges that he may get
in the race. Mr.. Kay is county attor-
ney of Anderson county and is presi-
dent of the Texas County Attorneys
Association. He is a strong Bailey
man, and never misses an opportunity
to sound the praises of the Gainesville
man. But Mr.. Kay. like many other
Bailey men who expect to be candE

people, or rather in making nomina-

the party above the man. to para
phrase one of Mr.. Bryan's famous say
ings. He would have candidates Sc

regardless Of their own personal pref

ably will elaborate in an address

1t is almost past belief that any man
owning land along the route of the
proposed State railroad, from Rusk to
Palestine, could be so short-sighted as
to divert the route of the road away
from his property by a stinginess and
shortsighetdness that will not make
terms possible for such a right Of
way. A railroad through such prop
erty would almost double the value of
the land, and put the owner in touch
with the outside world. a land owner
could well afford to pay a bonus to
have a railroad pass through his land.
Surely the people have not given this
matter intelligent consideration when
they stand up and demand a fancy
price for the right Of way land.

Rev. Stuart in his sermon last night
got right on one of the Heralds hob
bies when he spoke of young men
making their own opportunities. A
man has the power within himself, by
the grace of God, TO be and do that
which he wills to be and do. The
only thing that is usually lacking is
the will to do. 1t is this indomitable
will that will take him over all diff
culties, and will make of him a useful
man, and perhaps win for his name a
place in the halls of fame. It is the
man with no purpose in life that
makes failure.
