SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION.

Tomorrow a school board election
will be held to elect four members OF
the board, the ballot box to be at the
recorders office, city hall. Only four
candidates are in the field, and they
are pretty apt to be elected. But
this should not keep you from voting
and giving the men to go in your
backing. The men accepting these
offices do so at sacrifice of their
personal time, and on them deyo!vcs
the duty of looking after the interests
of the schools, seeing that the people
get the best service possible for their
money. Messrs. ]. w. Nance, Geo.
Barnes, F. C. Eason and c. F. Nc
Whorter are all good men, and will
give the schools their best energies
and thought. Messrs Eason, Nance
and Barnes are at present members
of the board, and have already rem
dered good services. Go to the polls
and show them that their work has
been appreciated.

their purpose the advancement of the
community. The other ninety-nine per
cent are content to remain in their
stores, shops and offices, and let the
public good take care of itself in the
best way it can. And then some of
these same attend to my own bust
ness" brethren wonder why Palestine
does not boom more. The answer is
not hard to find, nor does such an in
quirer have to go far for the answer.
Instead of one in a hundred working
for the public advancement there
should be one hundred to the hun
dred doing things that count. And
Palestine will never grow as it should
until more of the men in business get
ON the firing line and take up the
work. The ninety-nine have no right
to expect the one per cent to do all
of the public chores, beside the one
per cent, even if willing, could not do
the work necessary. The town needs
all of the workers it can get, and
every man should deem it privilege
to get into the work, and every man
should be willing. to bear his part of
the burden.
We have going the best town on
the map and it is up to all of US to
keep it going.

FOR YOUR HEALTH's SAKE
HEALTH OF SCHOOL chill.
DREN.

1t is stated that during the late
Russian-Japanese war the gen.
erals of the Japanese army were
not permitted to pitch their
camps until the sites had been
approved by their medical Off
GERS.
Do school trustees always con-
suit with medical men or trained
sanitarians before purchasing a
site on which to erect a school
building7
1t too often happens that thou
sands of dollars are wasted on
useless ornamentation of school
buildings that would better have
been expended for additional
ground for light, air, and exer-
else.
If Japan looks so carefully aft
ter the health of its soldiers in
matters of camp sanitation, sure
ly we should go as far in proVid-
ing for the health and comfort of
the vast army of school children
in this country.

Many so-called "bitters" are not
medicines, but simply liquids dis

Object to Strong Medicines.

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in
any case of muscular or chronic rheu-
matism, and more than nine out of
every ten cases of the disease are of
one or the other of these varieties.
When there is no fever and little Gf
any swelling. you may know that it
is only necessary to apply Chamber
lain's Liniment freely to get quick re-
lief Try it.

1t is probable that Governor Has
kell and his own tribe held their fea-
tiVal dance just a little too soon.
Uncle Sam is not satisfied to let the
land fraud charges go without further
inquiry. And this action comes, too,
right on the heels of a declaration
from the main corral at Washington
that no cases will be undertaken by
the government unless the indications
are pretty good for a conviction. The
next number may be a war dance.

Figuring on the most liberal basis

There are apparently quite as many
distinguished gentlemen in Austin
just at this time who are interested
in building little political castles as
there are statesmen interested in CIV

loyal Turks in the whole world.

Yesterdays Houston Post published
a cartoon showing some seventy-elev-

PUSHES on the capitol, on paper, for
one of these days it may result in a
riot and several million people killed.

For many years it has been the
popular belief that Hannibal Hamlin,
vice president with Abraham Lincoln
in the latter's first term, was not re
nominated because Lincoln did not
believe Hamlin to be his friend, and
therefore favored the nomination of
Andrew Johnson Charles e. Hamlin,
a grandson of Hannibal Hamlin, has
collaborated in work entitled Life
and Times of Hannibal Hamlin," and
he produces a mass of evidence which
discloses that Lincoln was really de-
sirous of Hamlin's denomination and
that the stories to the contrary were
merely newspaper gossip and were
without any substantial foundation.

Politicians in New York are greatly
concerned over the future of Governor
Hughes, whose term will expire De-
cember 81, 1910 Some are OF the
opinion that he will be a candidate
for third term, while others incline
to the belief that he would like to
succeed Mr.. Depew in the United
States senate. Still another rumor is
current to the effect that eventually
President Taft is to appoint Governor
Hughes an associate justice of the
supreme court of the United States.

DAY IN LAKE DIDN'T
HURT THIS WATCH
1t Was Still Ticking When Park
Policeman Fished 1t Out
of Mud.

This is not a fish story. This, dear
reader, is a watch story. Watch it.
1t Is the weird and miraculous tale
of a solid gold, screw back, seventeen
jeweled watch. which, after being
dropped in ten feet of water, buried in
the mud, rescued by a heroic cop, and
taken once again to the fair light Of
day, was found to be still ticking. Its
once saddened,f but now delighted
owner is Joseph A. D~ernberger, of "a
Millington avenue; it's heroic rescuer is
that premier swimmer and diver of the
Branch Brook Park squad, one Thomas
Brodesser, and the scene of it's terrible
adventures is thelower end of Branch
Brook Park, near the boathouse.
1t happened on the night before last
that the watch was dropped. Dern-
berger Lad peer out rowing. Just how
he lost the watch he Is not quite sure.
but lose 1t he did, and saw it SIM to
the bottom of the lake with many a
Dang in his heart. He reported his
loss Immediately; but as 1t was TOO
dark to do anything then, Dernberger
went away with a sad, sad heart.
Yesterday morning Brodesser was
told of the accident. Downing his bath
ing suit, he hunched his shoulders, felt
the water with his foot, and then
dived. Reports as to the length of mis-
immersion are conflicting, but after n
while up he came, holding aloft in his
hand a muddy gold watch
He handed it to the sergeant. The
srgeant held 1t for a moment; a look
of wonder came over his features; he
held the watch close to his ear and
listened.
TON. as l live, it's ticking.." said he.
Yes" said Brodesser. Eyes, that's
how l found it," . = . e?
But when Dernberger wanted to re-
ward him for his excellent hearing
Brodesser modestly refused.
