WILLING TO END THE GRUDGE
SaIoonkeeper Would Bury Ratchet
After He Had Failed to Get
the Buttons"

There is an old German saloonkeep-
er in this city who takes pride in his
record as an obedient child of the law
He boasts of driving the human
braces away from his bar promptly
on the stroke of II and a Sunday
drink at his place is as unknown as
baseball at the north pole. Just the
same, he got in bad with the police
department a few years ago. 1t was
said that he was not selling the right
brewers beer, so a policeman was or
dered to keep an eye on his place for
violations of the law. He was to be
jagged instantly.
The old man discovered that his
place was under surveillance. 1t made
him rabid. He blew the foam to the
clouds every time he slaked his thirst
He couldn't breathe easily, so great
was his anger. He got sore at the
poor policeman who was detailed to
watch him.
watch me if you like" he said to
the policeman, who could only smile
watch me if you like, I'm an obedi-
ent obeyer of the law. Sometimes
will get your buttons, you sneak
watcher. See if don't get your Job
away from you"
The policeman did not lose his but
tons" however, although the irate sa
Soonkeeper made a good strong cam
paign against him. At every turn ht
knocked the policeman, but without
avail.
One day, not long ago. the saloon
keeper discovered that his war against
the policeman was ineffective. The
blue clothes man was too strong foi
him. He might as we'll give in, he
thought So he sought the policeman
and, in his most atfable tone, unbos
omed himself.

to get your buttons for three years.

AN OLD TIME DRoUTH.

While some of our people are feel
ing little bad over the dry spell that
has prevailed practically all over Tex
as this year, they should think of the
following account of drouth that
prevailed in the state about forty
years ago. 1t was written by B. W.
McMurray, editor of the Denison
Gazetteer:
Forty years ago the writer was in
the employ of the International and
Great Northern railway, that was
building from Hearne to Longview.
We were stationed at Navasota river,
where Golfer dam was being put in,
also inspecting and receiving piling
and stringers for the bridge.
Up to the latter part of May rain
had fallen frequently In the months
of June, July, August, September AMI
October not drop of rain fell, and
there was not day, that the Their
mometer did not register above 100,
A very singular feature in connection
with the drouth was that nearly every
afternoon clouds covered the sky and
rain seemed almost certain. In July
the water supply gave out and the
Navasota river was as dry as bone,
causing the suspension of railroad
work All neighboring wells, streams
and even springs gave out. The peo-
pie began to haul water and many cat
tie persisted, and the living cattle de-
serted the range and wandered away
in search of water. Every growing
thing was blasted by the drouth PEG
pie closed up their houses and went
to water The terrific heat and bad
water Frustrated many with fever,
and number died The earth cracked
open in many places and it was not
safe to travel in the dark.
Hogs and other stock fell into
large openings and persisted and the
stencil that poisoned the air was aw-
full. The nights were tropical hell,
the whole country was listless and a
dead calm rested over all. Cattle went
mad for the want of water and their
believing was heart-rending Great
forest trees bowed their heads and
died. The land was deserted and sill
ent as the desert. Every living crea-
ture that had not persisted disappeared
and you might look in vain for the
birds. Even rocks cracked open.
There was phenomena that occurred
on the river An immense rock, with
noise like discharged cannon, was
rent asunder and twirled into the bed
of the river
Cool weather brought rain. 1t came
gently, and through the winter there
was copious supply, and people re-
turned to their homes and work was
resumed on the railroad.

TREAT THEM RIGHT.

The editors of the East Texas
papers are to. be guests of Palestine
Friday and Saturday of next week,
and it will be up to our people to
show the visitors a good time and
make them glad they came to this
good old town. The average news
paper man is good fellow when you
know him right we'll, and East Texas
has some very progressive and able
men in the newspaper work. They
are devoting their time and talents
to boosting their section, and Pales-
tine should be happy 60 entertain
them. Let's all make up our minds to
give them a glad hand while they are
here, and make their visit so pleasant
they will be glad they came and will
want to come again. The Board of
Trade will look after the entertain
ment of the visitors, but all of US can
give the visitors pleasant word and
warm welcome, making them know
they are welcome in every way. The
modern editor and newspaper man is
a business man, with business ideas in
his head, and not hanger on in any
sense. These are the men who are
coming here to be our guests and to
discuss their business affairs and the

Speaking of pure foods, etc, some
people are so careless or Indifferent
Take the habit of many, for instance
of putting the milk tickets in the re,
ceptacle intended for the milk. In
the first place the tickets are usually
germ-laden and filthy; besides, the
man who delivers the milk usually
thrusts his hand into the receptacle
to secure the ticket, before pouring

driving lines, working with his bottles

attract attention. But by looking
over the weekly we are forced to the
conclusion that our local business
men are overlooking a very fine OPP

DR.. Cook has made about three

which is vastly more important when
he submits his case to the people of
