Twas the days Of the hedge-school;
Mullarky was then
At the side of the ditch the most
dreaded Of men.
Sure the flight Of the bird, or the
speed of the hare
To watch for moment there's no one
would dare
An when circles and squares on the
dirt he would trace,
Twas amazin the larnin' that showed
in his face.
While the thoughts that revolved in
his towsy ould head
Were deep and tremendous, himself
often said.
Religion, of coorse, was a thame he
well knew,
Not your new-fangled notions, but stun
that was true.
Wild that he taught love for the sacred
ould sod.
Thus helpin' his kind, an so plasin his

The jewel OF days in the darling ould
isle,
Was approachin an so the good mas.

Women Not Humorous,

Ida Rose McCabe says that women
are lacking In humor and that most
OF them either take a hyper.serious
view Of life or look at 1t from an ultra
frivolous standpoint. Women are too
highly conventionalized to be able to
appreciate humor with the keenness
OF men from their broader outlook.

where over the union, for it, is
true that the Panhandle is des-

of the world through it's splendid

and thousands more of them to
be established.
1t could, if it cared to grow,
furnish enough broom corn brush

ing green until late in the season.
The Panhandle can furnish
and will furnish ere long hun
dreds of car loads of sugar from
the sugar beet, that vegetable
growing to startling size in this
soil and containing an unusually
large percentage of saccharine.
The Panhandle can furnish,

reds of cities and those in other
states higher grade creamery
butter and cheese, and from
COWS not reeling with tubercu-

The Panhandle will soon fur

The Panhandle is furnishing

The Panhandle is growing

WON OVER ALL.

Thousands Of Natures Lavish Gifts
-Scme Vital Facts.

Grand sweepstakes, blue rib
bon and prize of one hundred
dollars for the Panhandle ex-
hibits over all of Texas at the
State Fair at Dallas:
Thirty separate prizes won by
Panhandle counties in strenu-
Gus contest at the State Fair at
Dallas:
And now the Eastern Texas
populace will stand agape.
Now the Texas text book board,
which orders biographies for
the children of this state which
declare that no crops can be
raised in Western Texas except
by irrigation, will please go and
dip in the river seven times and
ask forgiveness.
Now will the people of other
states who have lately made their
homes here hug themselves and
congratulate each other on the
wisdom of their choice.
Now will hundreds of eastern
Texas people pay scant attention
to the pessimistic illusions of
their local newspapers and of the
Texas text book board and pre-
pare to go to the great Pan
handle. Such loading up of
odd hair trunks" will occur in
Eastern Texas this winter as
have never occurred before.
1t was splendid victory. The
Daily Panhandle hereby and
herewith congratulates all the
people Of the plains; congratu-
lateS those citizens who furnish
the productions; congratulates
itself, and congratulates and
thanks Mayor Lon d. Mars and
the tireless workers of his staff
at Dallas on the splendid work
done for this, the richest, the
most healthful, the happiest,
most prosperous land in the
American union.
The eyes of the whole country
are on the Panhandle of Texas,
an empire in itself, and the Pan
handle of Texas never disap-
points those who come to this
fertile and progressive land.
This popular country has been
settling at rapid rate for several
years, and now that this browning
prize has been won at the state
fair we may look for a larger inn
migration than ever before.
Hundreds of substantial men
will return to their homes after
viewing the Panhandle exhibits
and the grand prize blue ribbon
and thirty other blue ribbons,
and prepare to migrate to this
favored land.
Property values, already on
solid basis, will stiffen materially
during the next six months.
The middle states, the southern
states and other portions of
Texas will furnish new citizens
by hundreds, and one year from
this date the population of the
great Panhandle, already far be
yond that of one year ago, will
be largely increased from the
present satisfactory conditions.
The Daily Panhandle, with
profit to the man looking this
way repeats with pleasure an ex-
cerpt from an editorial in this
paper of the issue of October 8,
and the facts contained in that
article are given "a splendid en-
dorsement by the decision just
rendered by the officials of the
state fair in awarding the grand

handle exhibits. The editorial
