fresh flowers on the library table since
she was very young girl. and discovered
that her father thought he could transact
his tedious duties more adequately under
their benign influence. She has said that

not help but admire the cleverness with
which the youth who marked up the quo
tations did his work. The market was
active and the ticker was spinning out
the fluctuations at its highest speed. but
fast as they came the young man kept
pace with them. With either hand he
worked with equal facility, never making
an error. never getting flustered marking
the eighths, the quarters and the halves
with the same regularity that the ticker
worked and never making a false motion
and never making an unnecessary step.
Bright young man that" remarked
the senator to a member of the firm.
Yes" replied the broker. Il think he
is the best board boy in the street"
That evening the senator was a guest
at the house of the head of the banking
and brokerage firm. Next to him at din
ner sat young gentleman who bore
striking resemblance to the quotation
had admired earlier in the day. The
youth seemed to be perfectly at home.
He called the daughter Of the house

After dinner there was game of bridge.
The senator did not play. but as he and
his host sat smoking in a side room he
kept looking at the youth at the bridge
table.

were introduced-bad habit I've got OF

one of the young men in your office to be

Mr.. Duncan smiled mo" he said.
Bob isn't a twin. He is just himself.
He works for me. I give him SIS a

The senator looked at Bob again. The
young mans irreproachable evening
clothes and general appearance indicated
familiarity with company like that he
was in at the moment.
"And-er-is-is he able to do this on
er S. week?' inquired the senator.

banker, Bob has more money than

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.
The --latest Explanation is That
Microbes Cause Badness.


Professor Unna of Hamburg,
Germany and DR.. Sabourand o.
Paris, France, share the honor of
having discovered the hair mi
crObe.
Badness is not caused through
a few weeks work of these hair
microbes, but is the result of con-
ditions brought about by their
presence. Badness may not occl
until years after the microbes be-
gan work but it is certain to
come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood
supply. They feed on the fat
ty matter about the root of the
hair, through which the blood is
absorbed. Finally the fatty mat.
ter is wholly consumed, the food
supply of the hair is gone and
1t starves and finally dies.
ResOrcin is one of the most eff
fective germ destroyers: Beta
Napthol is both germicidal and
antiSeptic; Philocarpis, though
not a dye, restores natural color
to hair when loss of color was
caused by disease. These cur
atives properly mixed with alco.

BEN. y. CABLE, PROMINENT CHI
CAGO ATTORNEY,
Resigns as General Attorney of Rock
Island to Devote Time to Extensive
Interests in This Section. Means
Much for Coast Country.

The Chicago Commercial Chron-
icle of recent date announces that
Benz. S. Cable. who for a number of
years has been general attorney for
the Rock Island system, has resigned
that position in order to devote his
time exclusively to the development of
the lands owned by himself and as
sociates in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley The Commercial Chronicle
prefaces its article with the following
significant comments upon the con-
ditions which have led Mr. Cable
to arrive at a decision to do as stated:
THE industrial awakening of the
Southwest is one of the most signifi-
cant developments of recent years.
1t would take long history to enter
into a review of all the causes that
have combined to retard the growth
of that section of our country but
now that the people there have be-
come aroused to their opportunities
and the people of the North are join
ing in with their energy and capital
we find an awakening that bids fair
to literally revolutionize the indus
trial and commercial life in Dixie
land
".This significant feature is the at
tracing of northern men with north
ern hustle and ability for getting re-
suits on large scale. They are IN
PRODUCING modern methods and we
find idle acres are poisoning forth
into cotton and sugar-cane and as
gardens of fruits and vegetables.
This is beside the point, but it is
brought to mind by the resignation
of Benjamin S. Cable as general at
torney for the Rock Island road in
order to devote his time to the devel-
opment of his interests in the Gulf
Coast country of Texas"
The interests referred to include
extensive lands owned by the Gulf
Coast Irrigation Company, in the
vicinity of Raymondville, Sebastian
and Lyford in Cameron county. Mr..

MANY COMING IN THIS
EALI


There seems good reason to be-
lieve that the influx of homeseek-
ers and prospectors to the Browns
vile country will be as great if not
greater than that of the past two
seasons. Not only will great
many who have already bought
land in the valley be coming to
locate on their purchases and build
homes for themselves, but thous-
ands more will be coming down to
seek to make investments here.
This great section mas been receiv-
ing TO end of advertising of kind
that is drawing the attention of the
northern homeseeker this way. The
larger newspapers and magazines OF
the North have discovered the i'm
portance of the great development
here. and one after another has sent
down representatives during the
past spring and summer to look
the situation over and report upon
it through their columns Probably
without exception, the reports made
by these cool, wide-awake investi-
gators have been most favorable
The result will undoubtedly be that
thousands of the readers of those
periodicals will visit the valley the
coming fall and winter The
Brownsville railroad is already pre-
pairing to accommodate a greatly
Increased traffic The hotels and
rooming houses of Brownsville
should also be preparing for the
rush that is sure to begin early in
October.

Commenting further, the CONNER
cial Chronicle gives the following biz
of information concerning Mr.. Cable
and his prospective work in this sec
ton:
benjamin s. Cable is one of the
best known lawyers and citizens of
Chicago He was born at Rock Is
land in 1872, and graduated from
Yale in 1895, later taking his LII. B.
from Columbia. He came to Chicago
and was admitted to the bar in 1898,
entering the office of Lowden, Esta-
brook & Davis. A year later he en-
tered the law department of the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific, serving
as clerk, local attorney, attorney for
Illinois and general attorney. He is
member of several leading clubs
and has wide acquaintance with
the prominent business and profess
sional men of the city. The activ-
tiles of Mr. Cable in Texas will mean
much to the Gulf Coast country, for
his company does things on an extern
sive basis and the most scientific
methods of irrigation and agriculture
will be employed in the development
of the properties.

Trouble in the Royal Palace.

Trouble in the Royal Palace.
The Shakespeare Club of New
Orleans used to give amateur theat-
rical performances that were dis
tinguished for the local prominence
of the actors. Once a social celeb
rity, with a gorgeous costume, as
one Of the lords in waiting had only
four words to say: 1.-The queen has
swooned As lie stepped forward,
his friends applauded vociferously
Bowling his thanks, he faced the
king and said, in very high
pitched voice. The swcon has
queened. ="
There was a roar of laughter, but
he waited patiently, and made
another attempt:
The sween has cOOned.
Again the walls trembled, and the
stage manager said, in a voice which
could be heard ali over the house:
Come off, you doggoned fool
But the ambitious amateur re-
fused to surrender, and in a rasp-
ing falsetto, as he was assisted off
the stage, he screamed: THE coon
has sweened. Success.

Manager Cummins said this morn
ing that, in case he should be unable
to attend, Brownsville would be rep
resented by someone else at this
meeting. He is greatly in favor of
organized baseball in Southwest
Texas. Manager Cummins, as well
as those who have been supporting
the team, realizes that a league would
be distinct advantage to South Tex
as teams. Under a league the teams
would not only be protected from
raids from other teams which might
wish to lure their players from them,
as players in league teams would be
bound by contract for the season
and no team taking players from
other teams would be permitted to
play a league team, but the umpire
question would to a certain extent
also be adjusted satisfactorily
1t is very important that such a
league as is proposed in Mr. Fenner's
letter should be organized for there
is no way in which any section of
the country could be better advertised
than by having a Glass d baseball
league and it is to be hoped that,
when the meeting is held at Beeville,
it will be definitely settled so that
there will be a Southwest Texas base
ball league next season.
