WHAT is the use of having a
special session of the legislature on
the re-apportionment issue as asked
by some with the present legisla-
ture in power? What we want to
do is to elect a re-apportionment
pledged legislature and senate and
make that the main issue and not
fiddle away so much time on anti
cigarette measures and such other
time killers. The present 1egisla-
ture has gone on record as being
opposed to giving anything to any
body north of a certain imaginary
line dividing the northern end of
the state from the southern end,
and special session of this body
would only be an aggrevation.
Let us in the north get busy and
do a little towards getting law max
ers that will do something to give
our people at least part representa-
ton for the amount of taxes we
pay.

COLLIE DIED OF GRIEF.

A handsome black collie, belong
ing to Robert Boyle, merchant in
Chester, Pa, died of grief the other
morning. Several weeks ago Mr..
Boyle's 14-month-old son Robert was
taken i'll. At first the collie simply
played about the child, its evident
purpose being to amuse the little
one. Finally the child became worse.
and from the time the dog heard its
little master groan with pain it re-
fused food and drink. The collie
would lie for hours beside the child's
bed, and when put out of the room
would crouch at the door and whine
piteously. The dog become a mere
skeleton and starved itself to death
through grief.

the crest of a rise, the swivel search
light can be depressed to throw the
light down the incline on the other
side, while the fixed headlights are
still projecting their rays uselessly
into the sky. The searchlight is of
the greatest convenience, too, in
reading crossroads signboards at
night when, without the swivel fea-
ture, it would be necessary either to
maneuver the car into an awkward
position to throw the light of the fixed
lamps upon the sign, or for some
one in the machine to get out and
light a match in front of it-a pro-
ceeding that has its difficulties on a
windy night.-Recreation.

PARROT SAVED MISTRESS.

italian sailors engaged in rescue
work among the ruins of Messina
were crossing mountain of masonry
when, near a spot where two houses
had mingled their ruins, weak, raul
cous voice was heard calling, sorrow
fully, "A1aria p Picks and spades
were quickly in action, and there ap-
peared parrot, which tapped its
dusty green wings and still dolefully
called its mistress, maria! Maria !"
Marie was near the brave bird, and
was rescued. She had tainted, but
was still alive.

THE government has signed the
bill providing that all railroads
must have full length cabooses with
rear steps. The bill has been urg-
ed by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen. The other bill releas-
ing railroad employers from the ac-
lion of the fellow servant" con-
struction in damage suits, has pass
ed the senate and is being held up
in the house judiciary committee.
That body was twice on the point
of reporting the bill out, but each
time it has been held up.

MANS life is full of trouble and
temptation. He comes into the
world without his consent and goes
out of it against his will. His
journey through life is rocky and
beset with strange and contradict
ory experiences. When he is little
the big girls kiss him and when he
is big the little girls kiss him.
When he is child he wants candy
but he can't get it, and when he is
a man he can get candy but don t
want it. When he is boy he
wishes he was man, and when he
is man he wishes he was a boy
again. If he raises a family he is
a chump, if he raises check he is
a thief, if he is poor he is bad
manager, and if he is rich he is dis
honest. If he is in politics it is for
graft, and if out of politics, you
can't place him and he is no good
to his country. If he gives to
charity it is for show, and if he
does not he is a stingy cuss. If he
dies young there was great future
for him, and if he lives to an old
age he has missed his calling. If
he is active in religion he is a hyp-
ocrite, but if he takes no interest in
religious matters he is a hardened
sinner. If he shows affection he is
a soft specimen, if he has none he
is cold blooded proposition. In
order to be entirely healthy he
must eat nothing, drink nothing,
smoke nothing, and see that the
air is properly sterilized before
breathing Elk.

PROPHECY OF CLASS OF 1910.
One afternoon on a cold winters
day, when after long storm, the
sun shone forth with chilly bright
ness, l found myself in a strange
but beautiful house. 1 heard some
melodious music and my eyes soon
fell upon two gypsies, each playing
a either. They did not only play
play we'll but sang with remarkable
sweetness many ancient lays. They
sang so beautifully that I became
enchanted with the music, and be-

Preparations are being made foI
bringing an enormous pressure tx
bear at the coming special session oi
the Legislature, to bring about an
appropriation for the three state nor
NAL schools. Such action, while no
doubt prompted by motives entirely
right, is i'll advised. The coming ses-
sion Of the legislature was called for
the purpose solely Of correcting old
errors and any effort to bring up new
questions Of legislations or in fact
any Legislation foreign to the purpose
for which the session has been called,
will be promptly land rightly sup
pressed. Again, the normal schools
like the poor, we have had "always
with us" (how unfortunately exact the
analogy and they have never been
rated, by the people as a whole, at any
thing like their real value. To allow
them for a time to drop out of the
niche In oureducational temple, which |
they have filled 30 long, unostentati-
ously and pitifully unappreciated,
may have a really beneficial effect in
awakening the people to their real
Importance in the state. The cure is a
trllle harsh perhaps, but If it will
bring about a complete regeneration,
it will prove ultimately to have been
superior to the policy OF eking out a
9cant and begrudged existence
nothing more-as the schools have
been obliged to do in the past.

ton may be secured, etc., the last two
pages containing a map giving the
exact location of Dallas and the most
direct routes by rail thither.
The leaflet is Of a convenient size to
fit an ordinary envelope and the plan
is to have copies of it distributed
among the people OF Dallas so that
every letter mailed from this city to
the East in future, may contain one.
