Seeing Ourselves.

The man who can pick out the best
picture of himself is n rare bird" said
a photographer. Even an author
who is reputedly II poor judge Of his
own work, exercises vast wisdom in
selecting his best book compared with
the person who tries to choose his best
photograph. Every famous man or
woman who has been photographed re
peatedly has his favorite picture.
Usually it is the worst in the collec-
ton. 1t shows him with an unnatural
expression sitting or standing in an
unnatural attitude
1.-The inability to judge Of his best
picture must be due to the average
mans ignorance as to how be really
looks. or perhaps 1t can be partly at
tributed to a desire to look other than
he does. A stout man will swear that
the photograph most nearly like him
is one that makes him look thin, thin
man the one that makes him look
stout The solemn man selects the jol-
Hest picture. the jovial man the most
cadaverous.

HUMAN CARELESSNESS.

The human family Is a species of
strange inconsistencies and contra
dictions. The good and the bad mix
intimately. A carelessly thrown Gig
arctic cost Chicago recently a mil
lion dollar fire, and the carelessly
thrown cigarette landed in baby's
| go-cart, and igniting the coverlid,
burned the little one badly before
the mother discovered the fire. Hum
an carelessness started fire in
northwestern Canada which has left
thousands homeless, destroyed towns
and forests and cost millions of dol
lars, and then human courage
necessitating entire forgetfulness of
personal danger cause one to rejoice
that the days OF genuine heroism
are not yet dead, and human SYM
pathy and helpfulness has divided
its comforts, its bed and board with
the homeless almost before they
have realized that they are home
less. There is much to honor in old
human nature after all, but 1t would
be pretty bad lot if it were not
better than its worst phases.
But even all the good and brave
and sympathetic which CLEANS
through the smoke of the Canadian
! fire canot reconcile the onlooker to
the fact that the whole deplora BILE
thing came from the lack of little
care. There is no cause given for the
start of the fret is never possible
TO trace the origin of forest fire
but the cause is always the one same
| thing -carelessness. Campers in the
| dry midsummer woods leave uncov-
cred embers which presently the
wind fans into a glowing flame, or
! the traveller drops a match or a cigar
stub and goes on his needless way.
A few hours afterward tiny fire has
started, and a little later still the
whole world seems aflame with no
place of refuge and safety remaining.
The terror and panic of those driven
from their homes under such stress
can only be imagined by those who
have not experienced it. For days
the awful inferno RACES. and then a
black, desolate waste stands forth

TRANSPORTATION FOR ADVER-
Using.

The fact that the Georgia railroad
commission has ruled that newspa-
pers in that state may accept trans
portation from railroads in exchange
for advertising is attracting atten-
ton, more particularly as the fed
eral court of Chicago has just ruled
that such contracts are Illegal. With
all due respect to the federal iurist,
the Herald believes the Georgia COM
mission is right 1t surely is not in
accordance with the constitutional
rights of citizens to restrain publish
ers by debating how they shall be
paid for services performed. 1t ap-
pears that newspaper should have
as much right to accept railroad
transportation for advertising as it
has to accept any commodity for 1t.
Still, 1t must be admitted that the
principle of accepting nothing but
cash for advertising is a good one.
The grounds upon which the rule
prohibiting publishers from accept
ing transportation for advertising
was based-that of preventing the
press from being influenced in favor
of the railroads by the fact of hold
ing such contracts-may or may not
be well taken. 1t is considered by
many publishers as a REFLECTION upon
the integrity of the press as whole
to take 1t for granted that editorial
expressions may have been influen-
ced. 1t is fact that most men in
business Will, as a rule, refrain from
giving offense to influential patrons
by criticising them or holding their
defects or sins up to public condem-
nation. A newspaper is only a bust
ness institution after all And yet, it
can be truly said that the results of
the new rule in Texas have hardly
sustained the charge that the press
was influenced by railroad patron
age. If anything, the papers of the
state as a rule appear, even more
liberal towards the railroads than
before.
Be that as it may, the country
publishers have been losers by the
new rule. for the railroads are still
advertising in the city papers, but
have cut out the country weeklies
and dailies. Many country editor
and his family have been deprived of
their usual summer outing on ac-
count of the transportation being
cut off. The patrons Of the railroads
have also been put to more or less
inconvenience by the discontinuance
of the publication of railroad sched-
uIes, which the publishers naturally
do not feel inclined to publish graf

IN IMPORTANT RAILROAD DEAL
Brazos Valley VIII Handle Rock Is
lands Tonnage via Waxahachie.

| Several months ago this paper
was the first newspaper in Texas to
give publicity to a deal between the
| Trinity and Brazos Valley railroad,
! the Fort Worth and Denver, the
Rock Island and the Frisco, where
/ by the former road would handle
F., tonnage for the three latter roads
I out of Fort Worth and Dallas via
| Waxahachie to the gulf. The details
as given by this paper were verified
! by Col. w E. Green, vice president
and general manager of the Brazos
| Valley. Now comes the Fort Worth
F! Telegram with story to the effect
that these arrangements have about
| been completed in so far as the
Brazos Valley and Rock Island are
concerned. The Telegram says:
Arrangements are rapidly being
completed whereby the Trinity and
Brazos Valley line will use the Rock
Island terminals at this point, and
also the Rock Island line to Dallas
An agreement also has been made
whereby the Denver is to install a
transfer track between the Denver
and the Rock Island, whereby the
be handled more expeditiously, es-
pecially relieving the interlocker of
a mass of work. This transfer track
will cost at least 10000.
In this connection it would appear
that the T. and B. V. is amassing a
lot of contracts. During the days
when NJ. Sweeny was at the helm of
the T. and B. V. a contract was en-
! tered into between that line and the
Santa Fee where the T. and B. v.
:; agreed to pay 2 IL per cent per
! year of the value of the Santa Fee
/ line between this city and Cleburne,
and also to pay wheelage charge
! to keep the track in repair. This con-
/ tract was originally for forty-nine
years. On the strength of this con-
tract the Santa Fe went ahead and
constructed a lot of passing tracks
and side tracks on the line to Gle
burne.
When the present management Of
the T. and B. V. assumed charge
it was found that owing to the high
grade between Cleburne and league
that the work of hauling tonnage
was quite an expensive one In fact,
owing to the lighter grades it has
been found that / 500 tons of freight
! can be hauled from Fort Worth over
| the Rock Island, thence over the
Katy to Waxahachie, thence over the
| T. and B. w., Waxahachie to league
cheaper than 1000 tons could be
| hauled from Fort Worth to league
| over the Santa Fee and the T. and B.
v. tracks.
| On this account 1t Is natural to as
sumo that a considerable amount of
tonnage destined to southern Texas
will be sent by the T. and B. v. out
of Fort Worth via Dallas and Waxa-
hachie, provided the Katy prepares
! to handle the tonnage out of Dallas

DIXON MAY TRY ACTING.
Author of 1.-THE Traitor VIII Prob

ably Appear In His Play.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of the
famous reconstruction trilogy THE
Leopards Spots" The Clansman"
and The Traitor" has become in
fected with the acting microbe and
play the role of Dan Wylie, mount
aineer member of the Ku Klux Khan
in The Traitor" the dramatic sequel
to The Clanmsan." Mr. Dixon's his
trionic aspirations began during his
college days in North Carolina but
like Charles Dickens, he has here
tofore confined his efforts in that d.
dection to amateur affairs. AS
preacher and lecturer Mr.. Dixon was
supremely successful so that it would
be no novelty to him to face an audi
ence over the footlights.
The character which has appealed
so strongly to Mr.. Dixon is one of
the most interesting in the new play
In fact it is absolutely unique in
being a type never before presented
on the stage. There is no gainsaying
the fact that Mr.. Dixon is physically
the exact embodiment of this char
acter and as his early youth was spent
in the mountains of North Carolina
his Interpretation of the role should
be faithfully realistic.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the first tour of The Clans
man was the series of curtain
speeches made by Mr. Dixon in many
of the southern cities. This season
he will probably be seen in the triple
role of author, dramatist and actor.
AS Mr., Dixon is probably the best
known writer on the problems of the
south it is safe to say that the south
will hear a few talks between acts
that VIII create as much discussion
as the play itself While there may
been y1any actors who have turned
dramatists, it is exceedingly rare for
the playwright to turn actor. Mr..
DiXons experiment will doubtless
prove most interesting to his CO.
laborers in the field of dramatic
writing.

Preachers Fall Among Thieves.

Two of the city pastors were in
hard luck recently. They did not ex-
actly go down from Jerusalem to
Jericho and fall among thieves who
beat and robbed them, leaving them
half dead, but one of them vent
from Dallas down to Epwo -th-By-
the-Sea, and light fingered gentle
man extracted $25 from his pockets
The other one fell in with a visitor
to the city. drove him round for an
hour or so, showing him back to one
of the banks, endorsed his paper for
$50 and babe him brotherly
adieu. In the course of a few days
the said paper came back to the said
bank unhonored, and the said
preacher went down and paid OF
the bad paper. Moral: Better keep
your hand on your purse when you
travel, and you had better not en-
dorse paper at the bank. Preachers
are the best men in the world and
the easiest imposed upon. They are
good themselves, and go on the sup
position that all other men are good

THE JOB OF LIVING.

1t is mistaken idea of many
that in the good old times men liv-
ed longer and stronger lives than at
present. AS matter of fact, the re-
verse is true. The average length OF
life in the sixteenth century was but
twenty-one and a que rter years; now
it is forty and a half, because man,
In his wisdom, has learned to con-
quer and prevent many of the ills
which formerly preyed upon the
race. The mortality in diptheria, for
instance, has been reduced from SO
possible to prevent typhoid, although
not all families or communities take
the necessary precautions. In the
Boer war. says the Atchison Globe,
the British lost more men from this
disease than from wounds received
in battle, while in our war with
Spain. one-fifth of the soldiers in our
camps had the disease, and possibly
we haven't learned enough precau-
ton to prevent recurrence of a
similar epidemic in the event OF ano-
Their war. But the japanese have.
General Oku, in an active campaign
of seven months, had but 1877 cases
among 100000 men. Another dis
ease which plays havoc with armies
is dysentery, and the Japanese have
practically conquered this Since the
manner of transmission of yellow
fever has been discovered, the dan
ger of an epidemic of that disease is
practically past. In 1878 yellow fe-
yer ragged in the South; Memphis, a
city of 1880 people at the time,
there were 1900 cases, and 5000
deaths. Such a record will never be
repeated, because it is known the
mosquitoes spread it, and the doctors
know how to fight mosquitoes Vac
cination has greatly removed the
dread of smallpox. In Prussia, where
vaccination is compulsory, the fatal
tiles from the disease have been re-
duced to about one in 100000, and
the very few cases are usually near
the border. The deaths from bubonic
plague have beel. greatly reduced by
the discovery OF serums to counter
act it, The per cent of deaths from
this dread disease was formerly over
so. And a number of other ills have
been conquered by the scientists,
while the homes of today are, taken
altogether, much better fitted for
human habitation than those OF an
earlier period. Gradually, mankind is
learning the Importance of fresh
air; it is taught in our schools that
all may know, as is also the folly of
gluttony, the need of exercise, and
what is wholesome food. The average
span of life will yet be greatly
lengt hened, for all that it has been
nearly doubled within three centur-
les. 1t pays TO know the wonders OF
the human system: to know how to
care for life and health 1t is foolish
to claim that haphazard living and
eating what, and when, and where.
you please is the best assurance of
health. Now and then some vigorous
constitution withstands that system.
