Cooperative House
keeping.

Cooperative housekeeping on
a large scale is the latest plan on
smoothing out the work and
worry of life to be inaugurated
in San Antonio. The originators
of the scheme are w. H. Dee and
James N. Tilton, both eastern
men, who intend to build a gun
galow city on South Heights, a
hilltop suburb of San Antonio.
A plot of ground about thirty
acres in size is being laid out as a
park, with winding streets,
fringed with shrubbery, flowers
and semi-tropical plants. Be-
tween forty and fifty bungaloes
of four, five and six rooms will
be built and furnished. At a
convenient point in the center of
the bungalow village will be con-
structed community kitchen
and dining rooms. Each family
will order what it wants for the
day and the company market
man will make the purchases and
the company cook will prepare
the meals. The residents will
then have the choice of dining in
one of the community dining
rooms or having their meals de-
llvered at their homes in vehicles
especially constructed, with heat
ers to keep the viands hot. Com
immunity laundries will do the
washing, and community gar
deners will attend to the grounds
and plants; in fact, all the
drudgery of housekeeping will be
provided for by the community.
AS every winter from $4,000
to $4,000 northern and eastern
tourists winter in this city, such
a plan will especially commend
itself to those who do not wish
to go to the worry and expense
of putting up their own estab-
lishments. 1t is also claimed
that this manner of housekeep-
ing can be made as reasonable
or as expensive as the individu-
ais desire.

pants For Taft
When He Visits Texas

San Antonio, July -.(Spec-
lal. announcement has been
made by Col. Cecil Lyon, the
head of the Republican party in
Texas that Secl etary Taft had
promised to make a number of
speeches in Texas between now
and election time in the interest
of the Texas Republican ticket.
1t is also generally admitted that
Chas. w. Ogden of San Antonio,
one of the leading attorneys of
the State Will be the Texas
nominee for Governor. There is
widespread displea5ure in the
State towards the Campbell ad-
ministration, and already Dem
ocrat known as honest Bob Will
liams, the village blacksmith, is
contesting with Governor Camp
bell the Democratic nomination
for reelection. The Republicans
believe that this will breed
enough faction to make possible
the election of strong man like
Mr.. Ogden.
The gift of the pair of pants
made from mohair arranged for
Secretary Taft has aroused a
lively feeling of interest in that
candidate in Texas, and plans
are being made for presenta-
ton of the pants" when he Wis
its San Antonio. AT the same
time N. R. Powell, a cattle raiser
of Tettus, Tex, will have ready
for presentation to the Repub--
lican candidate an enormous
chair made of horns from the
longhorn cattle thte used to be
so common in Texas. This chair
will be eight and half feet tall
by about five feet wide, and will
certainly be large enough to hold
the big candidate arrayed in that
pair of pants" made from
billy goat, which are unquestion-
ably mans size.

In a young woman vanity is
apt to prove dangerous; in an
old one it's merely ridiculous.
That girl is essentially mean
spirited who at a wedding, makes
it a point to look happier than
the bride.
When a woman thinks more of
a mans intentions than of his
attentions she is either very
young or 'approximating ma
turity."

would do had she her life to lead,

Hon p A Hodges, Marlboro

much encouraged over the outlook
for his chances for success at the
primary. He has bocn out of the
district for the most part in other
sections Of the state in the inter

been writing to him Offering him
their support and talking enthusi-

which his candidacy is being met
with tic voters.
Mr. Hodges is peculiarly quail

He is a broad man, well versed in

HUSBAND RETURNING FROM
NIGHTS WORK.
Mrs Jesse Webster Died While
MIR Webster Watched at the
Oil Mill.

Last Saturday morning when
Jesse Webster returned home
from his duties as night ~watchman
at the oil mill, he found his wife
lying dead on the bed. Their five
weeks old baby was with her in
the bed, and a larger child was on
the floor, crying. Mrs. Webster's
arm and leo were partly Off the
bed and her mouth and eyes were
wide open, as if she had endured
great suffering before the end
came.
On Friday Mrs. Webster did
some washing and ironing and
complained of being very tired at
supper time. She ate quite heart
lily Of canned beef, canned salmon
and broad. After supper Mr..
Wcstcr went to the oil mill, where
he spends each night as Waterman.
When he returned home at the
usual time in the morning, he
found his wife dead.
Coroner Mccall and DIR. MAY
made an examination Of the body,
but did not think it necessary to
hold an inquest. DR.. Mays opin-
.
ion was that she died of heart fail
ure, caused by acute Indigestion.
Their home was in West Ben

oil mill, where the husband spent
the night on his lonely watch, little
dreaming that his wife was pass
