The Boy Told the Truth.

Justice Brewer of the United
States Supreme Court says that
it is usually an easy matter tc
pick out the truth among lot OF
conflicting evidence. BY way OF
illustration he tells the following
incident, which took place in a
little village near New York:
a house hunter, who had just
got off the train, stepped up to a
boy hanging around the depot,
with this salutation;
My lad, | am looking for Mr..
Smithson s new block of semi
detached houses. How far are
they from here?"
About twenty minutes walk,
the boy replied.
Twenty minutes exclaimed
the house hunter. Nonsense.

believe me or you can believe the
advertisement, but | amt trying
to make sale. Judge.

Cramped Quarters.

William a. Maxwell, the sup
erintendent of New YOrk's pub
lie schools, has brought the
school buildings under him to a
pitch of cleanliness rarely to be
seen.
Discussing school sanitation,
Mr.. Maxwell said the other day
Nothing is more important
than that our well-ventilated and
spacious school-rooms should be
kept free from dust. w. H.
Marsh of the Buckinghamshire
educational committee, recently
made tests showing that a pound
and a half of school room dust
there are 1000, 100000 mi
crobes.
Mr.. Maxwell smiled whimsi-
callv.
Think, he said, 100000,
900 microbes! It's wonder
they don't walk off with that
pound and a half ism it?"

What He Meant.

Nathan Straus, discussing the
absurd difficulties that confront
sanitists in their endeavor to
pass laws compelling the paste
irritation of milk, said
The legislators who oppose
this law bring forward argu-
ments about as week as that of
the Maine milkman.
"A lady summering in Maine
said to her milkman, severely:
Look here, this milk of yours
is half water and half chalk.
What do you mean by advertis-
ing it as pure?'
Madam" said the milk man
ufacturer, with reproachful dig
nifty, to the pure all things are
pure.

This determination to pur,
chase lands while they are yet
within the reach of the man with
small means has led to great
| Investment in Texas lands, which
has grown more acute each year.
From every part of the United
States there are coming those
who have heard of the value of
the lands in Texas and the cheap
ness at which they may be ac-
CURED. Millions of dollars of
outside capital has been put into
Texas lands during the past five
years, and for a while it looked
as if the Texan would let his
birthright be sold for a mess of
pOttage. But the change has
come-the Texan is as keen as
any body for his rlghtful share
in the naturally accruing veal tn
of Texas lands. Unlike Colora-
do, where the topography of the
country makes such frauds as
as have been perpetrated quite
impossible for an investor in
Texas lands not to get the worth
of his money and more. Fort

Robin Grattan 36198

ROBIN GRATTAN is handsome bay
stallion, with dark points, stands 10 hands
and weighs l,225 pounds; foaled 1902.
Bred by Mcneil Bros, Bowen. Ill.
During the past history of the light
harness turf, different families have, in
different years. says the Horse Review,
made some remarkable showings -but it
remained for the Grattan family. in 1905,
to eclipse everything of that nature in turf
annals. 1t was "Grattan year from
start to finiSh-a and when the returns were
all in there was Just one universal verdict:
that nothing like it had ever been heard of
before.
Had Grattan's fame as q sire to rest
upon 1908 alone. it would secure him place
among the greatest of progenitors. But it
is of no such sudden, spasmodic growth.
1t was established years ago, and has ever
since been steadily growing, like the snow
ball of the adage growing, growing,
growing. until now it has assumed such
proportions as to dwarf that of all but
scattering two or three other living stall
ions
Robin Grattan individually is horse
of grand finish and plenty of substance,
with fine disposition, deep, strong Shout
files. strong bone, with good feet and legs.

Democratic Caucus Action.

The following is sent US as an authoriz-
edistatement of the acton OF the Demo-
cratic Senate caucus IN. regard to the
Prohibition Amendment:
The Democratic members of the Sen
ate, with the exception of Senator's Fisher
and Smith. voted against submitting the
Prohibition Amendment. The special
form of the amendment had somewhat to
do with this action. The Democratic
minority in caucus approved of Senator
Silver's position one year ago and to sup
port the time honored principles of the
party, to.wit; the principles of elocal self
government, and. therefore, decided to
vote against the submission OF the amend
ment in the language proposed. Sena-
tors Fisher and Smith did not dissent
from the position taken by the other
members of the caucus on the broad prin-
ciples of local self government. but fel'
themselves under obligations in this iu-
stance, having received certain support
and incurred consequent Obligations
which compelled them to ACT as they did
and while so acting, declared themselves
| in favor as aforesaid OF the principle:
embodied in the proposition to let each
community govern itself in relation te
this question. as ,t;may deem best. Ever,
member of the minority will support
well considered local option law. one
which will secure the right to the people
who desire to abolish the saloon. The
action os the Minority in refusing to vot'
on the first three roll calls in this question
compelled the Republicans to show thei
position also. There are twenty-thre'
Republicans in the Senate. Twenty
them could have submitted the amend
meut. but that number at no time coul'
} be marshalled on that side OF the propc
sition. This action exposes fully the IL
sincerity of the Republicans in their pla
form declarations of last year. and ais
of the numerous declarations other car
didates and public speakers. Every on
q remembers how vociferously they were
flavor of submitting the questions OF pre-
g hibition to the people. and now ever
o one is made fully aware of their duplici'
aud insincerity, The action OF the Den
= ocratic members of the Senate makes tt
l. course of Senator Silver on this questic
" a year ago unassailable from par
lstandpoint.

Atlanta. Handsome postoffice.

Capt. Julius c. Holmes OF this place.
United States Inspector of Public Build
inss. (who. by the way. isconsidered one
oF-the most competent aud trusted OF
Uacle Sans oHicials.) has been kept
pretty busy in his line OF official duty,
especially in the west and south. OF q
recent official visit by him to Atlanta,
Ca. the Journal of that city says;
Despite repeated delays. Atlanta's new

within the time stipulated. September !,
1910. and. according to ]uliusC. Holmes,
inspector OF construction. who has just
completed an inspection of the building
as il now stands, will then be one of the
best built and best appearing postofice
buildings in the United States.
Inspector Holmes arrived in Atlanta
Monday from Washington and spent
Monday and Tuesday in careful inspec
ton OF the building. Heis highly pleased
| with both the architecture and The
MECHANISM. ne says that tho
is of the very best; that the construction
so far could not have been surpassed. ant
that the indications now are that the new
pos,office building. when completed. VII
be one of the best constructed and hes
appearing government buildings in thu
country
| The fear that the new building woult
be delayed in completion is now felt NJ
longer. A year ago it seemed that tn
TING of actual completion would be
least six months behind the timehtipuiat
ed for completion. But it is now certain
that the new postoffice will he ready 10

By May Ist the shell OF the new post
Office will have been finished. Four storie
