Ar IT never hear any talk about di-
viding up Texas except when 1 come
up north" said Mr.. James B. Wardle
of Galveston, Texas, to a New York
Telegram reporter. THE people of
Texas would never consent to the di-
vision of their state, no matter how
many Democrats the split might
make. They think more of the honor
of being the largest state in the Union
than they do of any political party in
the market. The sole aim of every
real Texan is to make his state first
in everything. She is now first in cot
ton, sheep and cattle. AS soon as the
Panama canal is completed Texas will
have the first and the finest city in the
south. We fully believe Galveston
will soon contain a million people.

WHOSE DUTY IS
 THIS REAL eUTY?
Residents of West Third Avenue Say
 Railroad Officials and City Are Re. spoDsible for Rad Conditions There.

Pne Puff, May 2. 1909. Editor Graphic:
 Through the medium of your valu able publication I wish to appeal to our City Father and the Officials of the Cotton Belt railroad, to improve the bad conditions that now exist on West Third avenue. For distance of six or eight blocks west of Wal nut street the gulleys on either side of the Cotton Belt track are filled with grass, trash and other rubbish to such an extent that the water can not run off, and as a result there $ much stagnant water and filth. The hot weather is approaching and un- less conditions are improved there will be much sickness as result.
 Residents in that district are good people, large taxpayers, and feel that they are entitled to some cc0sidera- tion, and that right now. Railroad Officials, when approached, advised 1t was the duty of the City to keep the ditches, open: City Officials have been contending it was the duty of the Railroad people. We are certain it is the duty of one or the other, and your assistance in helping us to se- sure the relief will be appreciated.
 Respectfully.

fishing or skating, and getting into q
thousand scrapes together. Teddy, in
his boyish way, was DolIy's devoted
adorer, and she had nearly wept her
eyes out when he went to school for
the first time. She was a lovely girl
of 16 when the young man came from
college for his first vacation. and even
Teddy, the unsentimental, felt a sud
den thrill when he saw her again after
a considerable lapse OF time. With
the advent Of manhood his devtion had
increased. His succeeding vacations
had been spent in Europe or with col
lege friends, and consequently Teddy
had not seen much Of Dolly, while he
and Phyllis had met at all kinds OF
college functions and festivities.
Proximity is an all-powerful influence
with a young man Of Teddy's suscep-
tible age, and Phyllis, thinking over
his manner to her Of late, came to the
conclusion that it was decidedly I'M

have to DO 1t for him"
So when Teddy begged for her new

Phyllis had never seen there before

shortly: mo, l can't Teddy" and
took refuge In a hAlf-real, half-studied

Teddy's seldom-rufiied brow.

However, she merely supposed thai

CRIME IN CHICAGO.
Sentenced to Serve Two Years In Gov

Chicago, Feb. 2.-The story OF q
beautiful girl lured to the United
States from Paris resulted Monday in
the conviction of Henry Lair, charged
by the government with being a pro
moter Of the so-called white slave"
traffic in this country. Lgir was SEN
fenced by Judge Lands to serve two
years in the government prison at
Leavenworth, Kan, and to pay $500
fine.
The next case to be tried Is that OF

charges Of importing French girls to
this country in violation Of the immi-
grafton laws.
Marie Peuroy, 10 years old, was the
chief witness for the government
When IA years old, she said, she was
met on the streets OF Paris by Julius
Dufour, who later introduced her to
Louis Paynt, now in the government
prison at Atlanta, Ga. Paynt induced
her to come to America and brought
her to Chicago, where she, she said,
was taken in charge by Lair, who had
come from San Francisco. Informing
the immigration officers, she was res
cued. This started campaign by the
federal authorities to break up the
white slave syndicate. Jules Dufour,
who met the girl in Paris, is a brother

dance, and his >fickle allegiance re-
turned in full force. Teddy's be.
havior during the afternoon was ex-
emplary. He devoted himself to Mrs
Bletchwood, arranging her cushions
and assuring her they were not in i'm.
minent danger of twigs and spiders,
"How college does improve young
mans manners!' she remarked ap-
provingly to Dorothea.
How much a few weeks can accom-
plish in young mans education
could have been gathered from the
adroit' manner in which he preached
a certain topic.
Dolly was gazing pinkly into her
billowy parasol when, after a pro-
longed absence, they Joined their
party.
Nobody could have said" Teddy re-
flected to himself with considerable
satisfaction, as he was settling his tie
for the dance. Nobody could have
said didn't take the thing coolly."
The only approach to hitch in the
proceedings had occurred when she,
though merely for the sake Of not ap-
pearing to let him have It all his own
way, had said demurely-
"Are you quite sure you want me.
Teddy? Sometimes l have fancied
that you were fonder Of Phyllis"
Phyllis" cried Teddy. "Of course
rye always liked Phyllis. She'll be q
corking sister-in-law."
I'VE are not at all too young"
purred Dolly to Phyllis that night aft
err the ball. Mamma was only 16
when she married. And Teddy thinks
you'll be an ideal sister-in-law."
And Phyllis was ungracicus enough
to make no response.
