Brownsville is getting into the
championship class. She has quite
a respectable hospital list. but the
club physician promises they will be
in good condition by the end of the
week. By the way the doctor had
busy day Sunday. 1t is hoped the
Corpus players who were injured will
recover soon.
1t reminds us of our early baseball
experience to see a player take his
departure and refuse to play. Only
the absolute fairnss of Umpire Baker
toward the visiting team kept him
from FORGETTING the game to Browns
vile.
McAllen has a strong team of play
ers most of them college boys. Man
ager Whitaker says they need a good
pitcher and work can be found for
such a man with some of the firms of
that city McAllen will be given the
first open date with the local team.
Score cards are being prepared by
the printer and will be on sale at the
next game. The names of the play
ers, their positions and a few of the
scoring rules will be given.

MOMEY IS NEEDED.

Money for the work of developing
the vast possibilities of the Lower
Rio Grande Valley is still in great
demand Millions have been poured
into the valley during the past two
years, vast canal systems have been
constructed, and thousands of acres
of land put under irrigation and
are now being cultivated. But there
are still many thousands of acres of
this same rich valley land which are
still awaiting the construction of
more canals to be put under cultiva-
ton and opportunities for the use
of capital in such development are
still almost unlimited here. Many
are borrowing money at eight and
even ten per cent here, while capital
is going begging in the congested cen
tiers of the East at four and five per
cent. There should be some means of
getting the men with the money and
those who need money together here,
so that thevalley developers might OBJ
tain the necessary capital to continue
the work of putting water on the land
making it productive The one item
of sugar mills alone should enlist
abundant capital in the valley at
once. Thousands of acres are now
planted in sugar-cane here, and there
is so far only one mill of large proper
tions in operation in the valley,
while one other will be ready for OPP
Grafton by fall. with perhaps three or
four more to be built by the fall of
next year. Yet the present acreage of
cane would furnish sugar for num-
Der of mills, and the outlook for
1910 is that there will be far more
cane ready for the mills in the valley
than there will be mills TO handle it.

Its Value Increasing

About a year ago, r. J. Creyeling
who owns a we'll improved farm of 100
acres just across the line in Guthrie
county, said he thought he would sell
it at $75 an acre; but when somebody
came along and offered that amount,
he wisely decided he wouldn't sell just
yet. This spring another man said if
he wanted $S5 an acre for it, the papers
could be made out right away; but Mr..
Creveling concluded that $40 an acre
increase in a year was pretty good
and at that rate IL wouldn't take long
to bring it up to an even 800, which
it is easily worth in the market.

Senator Pc zbodB "boSs o( the senate" rather lives by that antiquated stand ard. That's where we get him. He owes everything to me, you see, so naturally he'll do anything l want him to. By the way, there's Norton now. Perhaps he can tell us something"

 Norton had been strolling about the lobby. hoping to be noticed The flame had lurcd the moth. and 1t liked the manner of the singeing. The con- gressnIan hurried precipitately across 1t Stevens summons.
 i've been wanting to speak to you, gentlemen" said Norton, full of the cnod trick he had turned. but didn't like to interrupt you. I think I've ,Yne a big stroke for Altacoola to- I.ay"
 Even Peabody pricked up his ears.
 Yes" said both senators together.
 With a keen sense of the dramatic, the congressman let his next words drawI out with full effect.
 i've got Senator Langdon interested financially interested" he said.
 His two hearers exchanged a signifi- cant glance.

 Norton smiled shrewdly

 Il sure have, senator" chuckled Nor ton. Hes in to the extent of fifty thousand, and I've promised that the fifty shall make a hundred by spring."
 "It'll make three hundred thousand at least" snapped Peabody. Morton, you've done a good days work. By the way, New York client of mine has little business that cannot at- tend to handily. Doesn't involve much work, and aSyoung, hustling lawyer like you ought to take charge of it easily. The fee, I should say. would be about S1G,0O0. Have you the time to undertake it?"
 The congressman drew a long breath. His eyes beamed with gratitude.
 Il should say I have, senator. Of course 1t won't interfere with any of my duties as a congressman"
 Peabody smiled.
 Of course not, Norton. I see that your sense of humor Is improving. If convenient, run over to New York the last of the week. I'll give you card. My clients office is at 10 Broadway"
 The ruler of the senate nodded a curt dismissal.
 '"Thank you, senator; thank you very much" And Norton bowed and left, rejoicing.
 Peabody turned to Stevens.
 You see, even a congressman can be useful sometimes" remarked Ste, vens dryly.
 Keep your eye on that young man, Stevens. He's the most valuable con- gressman we've had from your state in long while. Does just what he Is told and doesn't ask any fool ques- tions. This was good work. Lang don's on the naval committee now sure. Come. Stevens: let's go to some quiet corner In the smoking room. want to talk to you about something else the Standard has on hand for you to-do."
 Hardly had they departed from the lobby when resounding commotion at the entrance. followed by the rushing of porters and bellboys and m expect ant pose on the part of the clerk. indi- cated that the new senator from Mis- sissippi had arrived.

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER 1-Congressman Charles Norton visits the new senator elect from Mississippi, Colonel William H. Langdon. He is in love with Carolina, the oolonel's eldest daughter.
 II-Colonel Langdon begins to feel the burden of political duties. Martin Sanders, cog i'll the Mississippi politi- cal machine, endeavors to make a deal patronage, but Langdon as serts that public policy and not political expediency should govern his actions.
 III-The scene changes to Washington. Two reporters. Budd Haines and Dick Cullen, are awaiting Langdon's arrival at the International hotel to interview him. They conclude that he is ma chine made senator because he was elected by Jim Stevens, senior senator from Mississippi. Congressman Norton leads Randolph Langdon, who had al- ready arrived in Washington, to invest $50, ,000 of his fathers money in land at Altacoola, where Norton and the "in- side" crowd in the senate are endeavor ing to place naval base.

 he chuckled.
 The boss nodded.
 And it's likely that a man like Langdon. new to politics-a simple gentleman of the old school, as you de scribe him-might have considera ble influence on opinion throughout the country"
 Langdon's colleague grasped the arm of the senatorial dictator
 Hes just the man we want, sena- tor He's one of those old fellows you just have to believe when be talks He'll do what I suggest, and he can make the public believe what we think
 "Then you guarantee himY' snappe,. the boss.
 "Unreservedly, senator"
 "All right" said Peabody. ''He goes on the naval committee. That ought to be enough honor for a man who a year ago was growing cotton on an old plantation miles away from civili- zation."
 we have control now of all the land about Altacoola that can be used," said Stevens. II have had Norton, the con- gressman from Langdon's district, working on it. There isn't a foot of land there which we do not now con- trol under options, and," he added, with a chuckle. "the options were dirt cheap"
 Peabody grunted approvingly.
 "There won't be any New York for tune in 1t, but it ought to be a pretty tidy bit" he said. Now. if we could only get Langdon interested, directly or indirectly, in a financial way, that would clinch everything"
 The senior senator from Mississippi shook his head.
 Its too risky. He's old fashioned, you know-has about as much idea about practical politics as-well, as we have of the Golden Rule. Fact Is, he
