POLICEMEN WITH EYEGLASSES

Attention was called some time
ago to the fact that policeman in
uniform carrying baby in his arms
was fairly rare sight. There is an
other almost as rare. Very few per-
sons have seen policeman on duty
who wore glasses and no one has seen
a policeman who sported spectacles.
In the station houses occasionally
the desk man will use eyeglasses as
he is writing up his book. 1t is a
good deal like looking for bearded
policemen. There are few of them.
Indeed, in the new generation of po-
lice officers even the mustache is un-
usual.-N. Y. Sun.

TRUE SON OF NEW ENGLAND
Skipper Pinned His Faith to the Cod
Under All Circumstances and
Conditions.

Kate Field once visited the Isles
of Shoals, and went fishing with an
New England skipper. During the
voyage she interviewed the old salt
on the fish question, with the follow
ing result:
Said [ to the skipper:
''What do you consider the best
fish for boiling?"
Skipper-Boiling? Why cod, to-
be-sure.
And what is best for baking?
Skipper-You couldn't have no
better fish nor cod for baking.
How is it with broiling?
Skipper never tasted no better
fish, for broiling than cod.
What is your opinion about
frying?
"Fryingw repeated the skipper,
scratching his head; ''why, what
would you fry but cod?"
What fish is best for general
purposes?
Skipper-General purposes! Cod
can't be beat for general purposes,
tell you!

HISS MCCALL, HOSTESS.

Miss Pauline McFall was hostess
to the Junior Musicians Club on
the afternoon of the twenty third.
On account of the change of time of
meeting, number of the members
were absent; which necessarily
made the programme short. Those
who participated, rendered their
parts beautifully and reflected
much credit upon themselves. Ap
"Operetta" was discussed, much
interest and enthusiasm being dis
played in same. 4.
Immediately after the rendition
of the programme, dainty refresh
ments were served by the hostess,
who was gracefully assisted by
little Miss Rubye Hargis. Dur
ing the social hour, Misses Ida
Tarpley, Ruth Haley and Ellen
Lewis delighted all with beautiful
piano numbers. The visitors were
Miss Laura Black, Mrs. Tarpley
and little Miss Margaret Hargis.

hostess and all were sorry when

MEN AND WOMEN.

Father Vaughan of London,
preaching on marriage, remarked
that woman said to him: "When
you have seen one man you have seen
them all, in all their moods and
lenses. They are all alike" His
reply was: "It may be so, but wom-
an is like an irregular French verb
and unless man studies her in all
her peculiar moods and lenses he will
misconstrue and so misinterpret her,
much to his disadvantage"

DEAR EDIToR:-

very tired after finishing the long

p. m., lying over there until 500
p. M, giving me a few hours to
see some of the city and get lit
tie rest. | think Fort Worth a
grand city. 1t has population
of $40, 900 and one of the finest
union depots south of st. Louis.
The building has all the conven-
fences necessary for the travelling
public. Good artesian water is
furnished which you know is a
scarcity in Texas. Fort Worth
has the best record for health and
less percentage of deaths. of any
city in the state. A fine country
surrounds the city.
Crops look very we'll, but small.
saw several farmers yet blowing
in their cotton.
Austin is very nice city, but
will not compare with Fort Worth.
Austin is the Capitol of Texas and
has one of the finest state capitols
located here of any state in the
| Union.
| made trip through the build
ing this morning and must say it
is a grand structure. l managed
to get up about 200 feet and get a
good view of the city and sur.
rounding country. Will give you
a description of the building,
which is of brown granite stone,
and the cost of same, which is as
follows:
Length, east to west, 900 feet !;
south to north, 800 feet; heigth
from ground to top of dome, 313
feet; heigth Of Goddess of Liberty
IA feet; Texas emblem, the lone
star which is secured in the hands
of the Goddess of Liberty, is 81
feet in diameter; number of doors
in building $50; windows, 900;
rooms, 258. The building, proper,
covers 81 acres of ground. The
amount of stone required to build
the above was 100000 tons, or
%, 900 car loads, which was ship
ped 700 miles. The state gave
for the building, 100000 acres
of public lands, valued at $500
per acre, making the building cost
the enormous sum of $4,000, 900.
Well, Walter l don't know just
what will do as yet, or where l
will go, but anyway l will remain
here until I get rested up and re-
ceive my mail. The water here is
not very good. You may imagine
how unpleasant it is, after drink
ing good water like we have in
Arkansas. l will keep you in
formed asto my whereabouts SO
that you can mail me the News,
which I appreciate more than ever
before.
will close for this time but
will write you again. With best
wishes for you, the NEWS and all
my friends, l am, \
