BIxBY TO BE A TOWN.
Former Station of Francisco Now Has
Daily Hack to Santa Maria.

Bixby, which is the new name for
the former station of Francisco. on
the st. Louis, Brownsville and Mex
leo railroad, in the western part OF
Cameron county. gives promise of ad-
ding another town to the county.
Judge E. c. Forto. who returned a
day or so ago from a visit to his
place near Santa Maria, states that
the proposed townsite has been defin-
itely located and that several build
ings will soon be started there.
Bi7by is four miles north of Santa
Maria, and parties wishing to vsiit
the latter place will no longer exper-
fence the difficulty heretofore encoun-
tered of not finding a ready convey
ance to take passengers as Judge
Forto says the new mail contractor
between these points, W. A. Mcneil,
now keeps comfortable conveyance
IN charge of young man, who meets
both morning and evening trains and
makes the distance in just 80 min
utes,
In addition to this improvement
Judge Forto says, passengers going
to Santa Maria will also find a neat
building specially fitted for a restaur-
ant recently erected by r. s. Cham
pion, where the best that the Santa
Maria market affords will be served.
These improvements were badly
needed and The Herald is glad to in
form its readers that Santa Maria,
the oldest little town in the valley,
may now be reached easily by those
who love to see the many model
farms that are located along the river
and canals in that beautiful section of
Cameron county.

Two religious sects who hated one
another bitterly were found by Sven
Hedin in Tibet. Searching for the
cause of this aversion, he found that
one of the sects believed that the
prayer wheel should turn to the right,
while the other was convinced that
the wheel should turn to the left. In
the region of the Bramaputra he
found a mountain which is so sacred
that whoever walks around it thirteen
times has all his sins forgiven. The
result of this belief is that criminals
from far and near infest this region.
When Sven Hedin started to ride
around this mountain on his horse
the pilgrims informed him that that
would do him no good.

AN uNPAYABLE DEBT.
The Late Mrs. Osborn, inventor of the
Shirt Waist.

ShhTt "aISt.
Josefa Osborn IS dead, and if the
! women OF the nation-of the whole
world, for the matter of that-only
knew their unpayable indebtedness to
her they would wear mourning bands
on their arms for thirty days and get
extra allowances from their husbands
and fathers and brothers to raise a
glorious monument over her bones All
the women's clubs, too. from Zanes-
vile to Zanzibar would drape their
halls and put suitable resolutions OF
their great loss on their minutes.
Mrs Osborn invented the feminine
shirt waist.
According to the consensus of femi-
nine opinion, no single article of femi-
nine wear and feminine decoration has
ever equaled the shirt waist 1t is at
once the most comfortable, the most
becoming and the most adaptable ar
ticle in any lady's wardrobe 1t is
capable OF being drawn out to any ex-
tent like an accordion. 1t is formal
and it is informal and everything that
lies between. 1t is suitable for any
thing from seance with the cooking
stove to reception at the Gotrocks,
with footman at the front door.
Its genesis was simple. Mrs. Os-
born saw her husbands soft shirts
and envicd them. From that, as one
who has a surface knowledge of the
sex will testify, 1t was but n step to
annexation. Mrs. Osborn went to the
man who supplied her husband and
told him that she wished n half dozen
shirts built on the regulation mascu-
line working plans save slight diver
gencies here and there and with a de-
cided curtailment in their length. He
demurred. She insisted, and she won.
She wore them herself. She gave
them to her patrons, for she was the
most famous dressmaker in New York,
and from them sprung the millions of
shirt waists that have covered and
made attractive the women of the
world.
Mrs. Osborn was wonderful wom-
an in many ways. With no experience
and only the necessity for action to
inspire her, she left the ranks of New
1ork's -Four Hundred and with only
$500 to start with built up Il bust
ness that took an entire building, EN-
ployed $50 persons and enabled her to
leave an estate Of fully half a million.
This was her material reward, but
the shirt waist, to shift it from its
proper place for a moment, was her
crown Of glory.

One thing which we must. learn to

But to poor blinking tot of a baby

He has neither pigment in his ten

the light rays. 1t is little short of

Something like 100000 letters an

force of clerks to handle these. The
packages that have been received at
the dead letter office have contained
false teeth, glass eyes, brass keys and
thousands of other things that one
would never expect to lind in the
mails.
1t would be interesting to know how
many engagements have been broken,
how many friends have been estrang-
ed, how many fond hearts have not
been reunited, how many deals have
fallen through, how much money has
been lost and how many quarrels have
been prevented by letters that never
came.

The Labor Argus urges its read
ers to make a special endeavor to
patronize its advertisers. By so
doing the unionist will show by
this that he appreciates the pat
ronage of the advertiser to the
paper which advocates the cause
of the unionist at all times. Tell
the merchant that you saw his adj
vertisement in this paper. and
that you appreciate his effort to
secure your trade. If this is done
it will result in mutual benefit all
around. Try it.
