] was lately told a delightful story
Of great statesman staying with q
humble and anxious host, who had In.
vited party Of simple and unimpor.

The statesman came in late for din
ner, and was introduced to the party;
he made series Of old-fashioned
bows in all directions. but no one felt
in position to offer any observations.
The great man. at the conclusion Of
the ceremony. turned to his host. and
said. in tones that had often thrilled a
listening senate: "What very CON.
venient Jugs you have in your bed.
rooms! They pour well!" The social
frost broke up; the company were de-
lighted to find that the great man
was interested In mundane matters OF
a kind on which every one might be
permitted to have an opinion. and the
conversation, starting from the
humblest conveniences of daily life
melted insensibly into more liberal
subjects.--Arthur C. Benson. In Put

Dene.Hoies. In Enoland.

A large group Of the singular exca.
vations known as dene-holes was re.
Gently discovered in the forest be-
tween Woolwich and Firth. Their po.
sitions we're indicated by cup-like de-
pressions In the ground. Two of the
holes have been explored. Each pos
sesses a circular shaft about three
feet in diameter. with holes in the
sides, apparently intended for the sup.
port of ladders. The holes run down
about so feet through earth. then pass
through four or five feet Of chalk, and
expand into caverns 1S feet in height.
Each cavern has six chambers.
grouped radially round the bottom OF
the central shaft. This ia the ordinary
arrangement found in dene-holes,
which have been thought by archeolo-
gists to be secret receptacles for the
storage Of grain used about the time
Of the Roman occupation of Britain,

upon the people of the community. The

make it success or a failure. They may
now depend upon getting the highest mark

But as citizens of Idaho, great and
growing state, proud of it's resources,
it's people, its good name, it is not
a gladstone matter for even the republi-
can party that cannot help but win the cleo
tion because of the divided enemy. Idaho
is being torn by foolish dissentons that
have no cause. Section is set against sec
ton; factional and religious persecution is
rife, and will be so long as this fight goes
on. Mormon issue is reality only SO long
as it is forced to an issue as it is under the
present agitation. idaho would be better

fist, were free to pursue his religious and
his political beliefs without having them
Jumped together and both tagged as unde-
sirable because, forsooth, some one wanted
to be senator, or governor, or rat-catcher,
as Mr.. Dubois has done.
Mr. Dubois has been prominent citi-
zen of Idaho. He has been an adroit poll
tician, leader in every party that could
of the good name of his Office, and his
cleyerness, he has made people believe in
his religious crusade IF ever there were a
Mormon menace, he has made it certain by
starting his crusade. Mormons do not
normally think alike, any more than Metho-
dists. The Mormon wool grower is almost
bound to be a republican; the Mormon i'm
porter would naturally be democrat; the
Mormon agitator would be socalist--if let
alone. But force him by persecution from
any one party, and he must concentrate his
power in the.other party. The same would
be true of Masons, Odd Fellows, or bod
carriers Mr.. Dubois has made impossible
the normal political rights of Idaho, by fore
ing an issue that is not an issue at all; and
if it were, it would not be reachabe by law
the voting together if people choose to
combine. The bond of Mormonism is not
stronger than that of republicanism, or de-
mocracy, when party measures are taken
up. 1t is not more dangerous, and it is
absolutely unprohibitable by law. Why,
then should he violate the good name of
Idaho, if he is honest and fair and patriot

Southwest Texas
A HOmeSeekerS Paradise.
By Jno. Richey.

Nowhere else in the United
States are such inducements Of
fered the homeseeker as in
Southwest Texas. Nowhere else
except Southern California does
the climate and soil permit such
a diversity of crops. With
healthful climate, tempered sum-
mer and winter by the Gulf
breezes, fertile low-priced lands,
ready markets, Southwest Texas
invites both the investor and the
homeseeker.
Many will ask why, if it is
possible to grow such a divers
ity of crops, many of these yield
ing a return of several hundred
dollars per acre, these lands are
so cheap, when lands n Illinois,
Iowa and many other States sell
readily at from $500 to $3.50 per,
acre, and only one crop can be
produced each year. The expla-
nation of this: Since the control
of this country was wrested
from Mexico by force of arms,
it has been the home of the cat
tie grower. The country is still
very largely in their possession,
and is owned and fenced in large
tracts, generally of many thous-
and acres in extent. Only in GER
tain sections are these large
tracts now being subdivided and
sold to homeseekres, and tbs is
rarely done by the original land
owner. Approach one of these
and suggest that you would like
to purchase a section within the
boundaries of his pasture, and
you would be almost invariably
met with the response that { you
purchased any Of his pasture, you
would have to buy all, whether
t comprised 10000 or $4,000
acres, and n some cases the re-
ply would be that his ranch was
not for sale-possibly it might
be in the future.

in 1908. This March Admiral
Togo" yielded ten pounds of the
finest, silkiest mohair at a six
months clip. This is said to be
the largest crop of mohair of six
months growth ever cut.
This mohair was sent to John
B. Ellison & Sons of Philadel-
phia and was manufactured by
them into the finest of cloth.
This cloth was sent to Owen
Owen at 423 West Eleventh
Street, Washington City, Secre-
tary Taft's tailor, and was by
him made into trousers for that
large and distinguished gentle
man. These trousers, as before
stated, have been presented to
the Secretary, and it is the earn
est wish of his loyal Texas sup
porters that he will wear them
when inaugurated president on
the 4th of March next.
This gift was chosen by the
Texans as especially typical of
their State, being both large,
useful : and beautiful. South
west Texas, of which San An
tonic is the center, is the great
est Angora goat country in the
world, more than two thirds of
the goats raised in America be-
ing in that section. Angora
breeding is essentially the poor
mans business, requiring a
small outlay of capital, but
many poor men who started at
it not so many years ago are
now well off.
Most of the goat raisers in the
hills of Texas are protectionists
and many Of them are Republi-
cans. The Angora industry is
yet comparatively in its infan-
cy and is practically unprotect-
ed. According to Government
statistics the Importation N,Qf
Angora goat skins has risen
from 53,968,000 pounds in 1885
to 111,079,000 in 1906, an in
crease in import value from
$10,954,000 to $31,773,000. In
short, the value of goat skins
imported is about equal to the
value of those raised in the ma
ton. The Angora goat breed
ers are anxious tojhvae their in
dustry protectedAA
1t is probably this reason that
led them to send this fine finish
ed result of the product they
raise to the next president to
bring forcibly to his mind the
needs of their great and grow
ing industry.
