Lack of Courtesy.

Tri1ing discourtesies of speech and
manner constantly INDUCED IN do
more to destroy the peace of a house
hold than an occasional war of words
which lasts for brief period and is
then at an end. Chief among the
causes to create murky home at
mosphere is the habit OF "nagging"
one another. Husbands and wives
give expression to every petty feel
ing OF irritation, and handy words
back and forth till some molehill as
sumes the proportions of a noun
tain. A tendency to nag goes IN :
checked among the children, and al
most before the parents are aware
there is u chronic condition CT un-
pleasantness in the home. Young
married people, especially, need TO
learn control in this direction An
other disagreeable trait to be guard
ed against is the habit peculiar to
some people. of always being on the
opposite side of a question. Call at
tention to the good points book, q
person, a public movement or work
of art, or what not, and this individ-
ual is ever ready tolnterpose, Yves,
but. Conversation in such a home
gives one the chiIls.

T0RRECILLAS, TEX.

TOrrecillas, Texas, Dec, 10th 1909
Dear Editor and Read ers-I will
send little Texas wind with these
few lines, The wind came from the
north this week and was cold enough
to hug mesquite GOALS, bit we did
not have any frost. There has
been IS inches of rain in the last
two months here and it is sure fine
for winter gardens. Some folks
have roasting ear corn to eat now
out of the field. [ have too, but get
mine out of the can | have my
well completed. it is 128 feet deep,
with 60 feet of water in it. | have
windmill put on it to pump and
tank that will hold $50 barrels of
water for irrigation purposes.
My Father-in-law, J. S. Smith,
was here last week and we enjoyed
a good hunt; 10 wild ducks was our
game. We shot a big deer but he
got away. Over in my neighbours
pasture are more deer than cattle
tracks.
! A most awful accident happened
here on Thanksgiving day. A little
boy and girl Is years old were fool
ing with rifle which went off, kill
ing the girl in five minutes time.
The bullet entering the right side,
blowing through the body and left
arm, afterward through bed board
and house wall into the outer world.
A sad affair indeed. A blooming
young lady in the prime of life to be
called so suddenly into an unknown
world. The only words that were
said were: Brother you have kill
ed me Let this be a lesson to old
and young, be careful with a gun,
ind more, be we on the watch. God
is at all times ready to take any or
all our lives, and more, won t 1t be
just rwful to lear, Go | have never
known you.
Well this is indeed healthy coun-
try, my boys are getting as tat as
pigs and my wife looks better and
feels stronger I myself can work
every day ] have good neighbors

half miles from here
Anyone interesed in this count try
write to me- | know of some good
improved places for sale at low
prices. L nd is going up fast, and

won't be any more cheap land for sale.

Meandering.

A city girl writes It's a fond
dream of mine to become farmers
wife, and meander with him down
life's fowery pathway All yes,
that is nice thing to dream about,
but when you have lived on the farm
and followed this meandering bus
mess for a month or so, you will
discover a wide chaSm between the
dream and the reality. You will
think of this about the time your
husband meanders off and leaves you
without wood, and you have to me-
ander up and down the lane pulling
splinters off the fence with which to
cook dinner And when you mean
der around in the wet clover in
search of the COWS, you will have a
dim perception that fond dreams do
rot alwaps pan out ID hundred cents
on the dollar and that there are sew
eral meanderings in farm life that
are not listed in the dreaming cate
CORY. The meandering business on
the farm is not what it is cracked up
to be,

EDITORIAL

Its to be hoped that the session OF
the Legislature early next year will
be abbreviated as much as possible.
Twill be far better to have lack OF
legislation than q surfeit of it. There
is but little business beyond the or
binary routine, few reform meas
ures and perhaps some corrective
acts, that can not carry over till the
regular session. Constitutional Pro
hibition by an Amendment enacted
to be submitted to the people, will
come in the second class and should
be soon disposed of, for if there be a
ny question about the people want
ing Prohibition written that way in
their laws, let them have chance to
settle it at the polls.

Congress is busy again, puUterlng
away at the Nations business. From
some reports appearing in the daily
dispatches, it would appear that a
hard fight is being waged for the
overthrow of Speaker Cannon by the
Insurgents. May they succeed IN
ousting that Old ThrottIer OF right

he has made veritable cars, but

Giddiness is habit, the cultiva
tion of which almost uneXceptional
arrests or interferes with the intei-
lectual development. The ennobling
thoughts are pressed back and
drowned out by empty Stiffness, and
the naturnl enlargement of mental
capacit es that should come with age
and experience are wofully retarded.
No one ever looks long at one Of
those brilliant, dashing bu tterfies
of society, without discovering that
gaudiness Of dress, pertness of man
ner and quickness and emptiness of
speech, are about all to be found in
such personalities Real depth and
strength of character and mind are
minus, though the possibilities were
once latent, but more often now frit-

Reading the Presidents Message
to Congress is a duty that nearly
every patriotic American should take
upon himself, for that document is
supposed to give resume in brief of
the friendly or unfriendly relations
of our country to other countries;
the condition .of internal affairs, by
Experimental consideration and other
wise, and really gives to its peruser,
concise recitation of the history
made by the Nation during the in
sterums of Congress or rather mes
isages, with the conjectural matter
incident to that in the making, or
or expedient to be made. Its care
sfnl reading will always repay by the
return of information yielded, and
this one by President Taft early in
December is unusually rich that way
The exact status of pending treat
les and other diplomatic matters
kept as nearly a whole secret, is here
defined insomuch so as international
caution will permit.

Beauty.

Va. What is beauty after all? Each
eye makes it for itself. You think
Smith s lady love raw boned and
hard featured. He calls her a mag
nihcent woman, and wonders what
you see in your little angel with her
baby face and stature. So it is the
world over; and yet, we would each
give something to be beautiful after
our own fashion, How the powders
and lotions which are to hestow
upon poor bilious mort&lS skins OF
satin and snow, and hair-dyes and
pomades. and cosmetics of all sorts,
sell, we need not mention to prove
the facts. { In Franceold ladies are
being made over at the cost of half
their fortunes Yes, we all want to
be beautiful; and if OMIT our ideas of
beauty were what they should be,
we might accomplish our desires
easily. Weakness and love make all
faces pleasant. Were we good we
should be beautiful. We feel this.
There are plain features so charming
with the sparkle of good humor, that
we love them. There are blemished
faces SO sweet that they are pleasant t.
er to look upon than the most per-
feet After all, it is in the express
ion that the actual charm lies. So
that were some one to promise the
secret of beauty for twenty-five
cents and postpaid envelope, he
would scarcely be an imposter should
he return the golden rule with in
structions to learn and practice it.
If we onIS could do this earnestly
and truly for one generation, the
next might wonder whether it we're
not fabif that such a thing as ug-
iness was ever known upon earth.

4 That Senator from Maryland who
wants Zelaya punished for his having
those two Americans shot and other
atrocities which are evidently of an
awful nature, but hide under the
Departments tai veil, voiced our SEN
timents, Such monster should be
stripped of his official rags and MADE
to feel tie weight of law, which he
has so fearfully northumberland.
But it's probable that he won't get
his deserts. Today press despatch
es shows that he has addicated, and
it's likely, that just as did Abdul HUI
mid.-reIieved from Office with its
plunderings, will be the biggest dis
comfiture he will suffer. Nations that
maintain law, should make an exam
nile ofSsome such counterfeit ruler as
Zelaya and Humid. They are not
only mercenaries of the worst type,
but bloody dictators as well. No
Nation is in better shape than this
one to fully carry out some such sal
utatory action. Zelaya and several
of his as guilty lieutenants, ought to
be captured and tried by court COM
posed of internationally appointed
iudres and if the evidence was as the
reports (and the State Department
of this country intimates that they
have documentary proof that It's
worse) they should be hung by the
neck until dead. dead, dead.
