welt was invited to ride behind them
and as Mr.. Knox was driving away
from the White House the group OF
newspaper men fell to speculating as
to why one Of them had not had his
wits about him enough to ask the
names Of the horses. One of the party
said their names were Highball and
Siphon. A serious minded chap there
upon wrote story about 1t and sent
II to his paper. When it appeared
Knox was very angry and the upshot
of 1t was a retraction by the news
paper.
Another story that angered Knox
was to the effect that he had told the
late Senator Hoar that Of course he
had quit the employ of the Carnegie
Steel Company before accepting Presl-
dent McKinley's offer of the attorney
generalship. He regarded It as an insult
to Mckinley to imply that he would
appoint man who would sconsider 1t
necessary TO give assurance that he
had observed the ethics of the profes-
sion.
Senator Knox bought his magnifi-
cent home in Washington from Mrs.
G. w Childs. It is one of the finest
houses in Washington and is well
adapted for receiving the diplomatic
corps on New Years day, according
to custom.
Mrs. Knox is considered one of the
most charming women Unofficial life.
Her entertainments are among the
most elaborate in Washington.

Three JerichOs.

Did you know that there have ex-

Jerichos? Perhaps everyone did not
know this before, and those who had
not yet stumbled upon the fact may be
interested in the following bit of in

The report of the discovery of the
walls of ancient Jericho by German
excavators leaves one in some doubt
which Jericho is meant There are
three JerIchos, or the sites of three.

miles away, at the entrance to the

which is all that is left of the Old

suppose is the scene of the excava-
ton. A mile or two in another direc-
ton are the remains of the splendid
Jericho of Herod-the City of
Palms, which Antony gave to Cleo
patra and which Herod made mag
nificent. This was Jericho as it was
known to Christ-the Jericho of Fac
chaeus and blind Bartimaeus. One
might even add a fourth-the site

arrived here by special train last
night about one O'Clock. Mrs. Albert

companied the party. The train con-
sisted of four private cars, and a

the exception of Mr. Rodgers, was
taken in automobiles by E. F. Row
son and Co. over the line of the
proposed extension of the road to the
Piper plantation and Chicago Gar
dens, east of Brownsville, the party
returning to the city about ten
o'clock The route gone over was
that which is in contemplation for the
proposed extension to reach the sugar
plantations in that region, and osten-
sibly the trip was made for the pur-
pose of deciding whether to build this
extension from the terminus of the
Blalack spur, or from the Browns
vile station. 1t is generally under
stood, however, that this visit is real
ly made for the purpose of finally
deciding upon the location of the
bridge site.

all leaving on the special train about
half past ten o'clock for trip up

kins and Edwin F. Dyer, the party
will return to Houston tonight.

FRIDAY. MARCH II. 1909.
4 MAGMZF7cENT SHoWYNG.

Much has been published from
time to time by various newspapers
and other periodicals regarding the
tremendous development that is in
progress in the Lower Rio Grande
Valley setting forth the number of
irrigation enterprises that have been
established or are now in course of
construction here, telling of the great
strides that are being made in the
transformation of this region from
wilderness of brush and cactus to
garden spot but none perhaps
have covered the ground quite so
thoroughly and comprehensively as
the article on this subject by Albert
Phenis, which was published in the
Manufacturers Record of March 4.
This article will be published in full
in tomorrow's Herald. Setting forth
in detail, as it does, every one of the
"a irrigation enterprises which Mr..
Phenis found in the valley on his
recent visit here, giving names of
owners, capital invested, land hold
ings, ETC., and coupled with state
ments relative to the productive ca
pacity of the lands so irrigated, this
article makes a magnificent showing
for the valley. 1t will undoubtedly
be of great value to all who are in
terested in this valley, and it would
be well for all such to secure in adj
vance copies of The Herald contain
ing it.

God of our fathers. known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet
Lest we forget-lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart.
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget
Far called, our navies melt away;
On dune and headland sinks the
fire.
Lo. all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Ninevah and Tyre
Judge of the nations. spare us yet,
Lest We forget-lest we forget,
If, drunk with sight of power, we
loose
Wild tongues that have not thee
in awe
Such boasting as the gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the Law
Lord God of Hosts, be with US yet,
Lest we forget-lest We forget
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding, calls not thee to
guard
For frantic boast and foolish word.
Thy mercy on thy people, Lord,
Amen.

Il SIGNIFICANT AcE.

The significant fact that the bridge
to be built across the Rio Grande at
Brownsville by the St. Louis, Browns
vile and Mexico railroad and the
merged National and Mexican Cen
trail lines of Mexico will be draw
bridge is announced authoritatively
in The Herald today. A draw bridge,
of course. means that the Rio Grande
is still treated by both governments
as a navigable stream, and indicates
that no abrogation of the old treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in which it is
so treated, is in contemplation. The
noble old stream on which many a
steamboat has carried cargoes of
freight and passengers for more than
a hundred miles inland, on which all
of the supplies for General Taylor's
army when it was campaigning in
Northern Mexico. were transported,
may yet be preserved to fulfill the
destiny for which nature designed it.

countries which border upon its
banks.

Christian EndeayOr Picnic

For some time the members of this
society have had some sort of a cele-
bration under consideration, and on
last Saturday the pleasant function
was carried out. Mr.. Orvar's fine new
launcn was engaged and Harry Hoop
er, with his gas boat, was placed un-
der requisition. About thirty young
people gathered at the park at s a.
M, loaded down with baskets and
packages filled with sundry good
things. The trip up the lake was
ideal. Mr.. Orvar's boat runs with
perfect smoothness, is perfectly safe
even in rough water, and is an orna-
ment to the lake. The ride up and
back in the evening was thoroughly
enjoyed.
The camping ground for the picnic
ers was on the east side of Diamond
bay, at the extreme head of the lake,
beside beautiful spring of water, of
which there are so many on Sauk lake.
The social committee at once got
busy preparing for dinner, while the
others engaged in various sports or
strolled through the fine woods which
cover the hills at this point. In the
afternoon, boating, fishing, ball play
ing and sundry other sports were on
the program. Lunch at 6 o'clock was
heartily enjoyed, and by 7 O'Clock the
Iarty was ready to start home. No
accident marred the day and all voted
the picnic grand success. With the
boating facilities now at the disposal
of Sauk Centre, the upper lake de-
serves to become more popular re-
sort for our people.

DETERS WINS OUT
He Is Granted a Liquor License by a
Vote of 4 to 2 Over the
Mayors Veto

At special meeting of the city
council, held Friday morning at
O'Clock, the applications of Matthias
Heimer and Henry A. Deters for
liquor licenses were taken up for con-
sideration again. By vote of 4 to 2
a license was granted to Mr.. Deters.
During the day Mayor Minnette Veto
ed this action. In the evening the
council met and passed the
Deters application over the veto
by vote of 4 to 2. Those voting
in favor of passage over the veto were
Bergman, Miller, Richards, Pang-
burn. Those voting nay were Boutell
and Irish. The mayors veto message
was as follows:
To the Honorable Council of the
City of Sauk Centre:
Gentlemen
l hereby return TO you: without my
signature as mayor, the liquor license
granted by our body to Henry A.
Deters. / thus am compelled to veto
your action.
There have been two applications
for this license: one the gentleman
you have signally favored, the other
Matthias Heimer, whose license just
expired. The ordinary principles of
justice would require some good rea-
son for the rejection of the applica-
tion of the latter for renewal of the
license previously granted to him.
There is not even hint that he has
not been law abiding. No charge of
any kind having been preferred
against him, it gives color to the ac-
cusation which is being made in our
city that the public service is being
used by certain ones to promote their
own personal and business interests.
1t should never be forgotten that
honors of Office are bestowed upon in
dividuals with the expectation that
with all firmness and good judgment
they are to serve the public, and that
their personal interests are not to en-
ter into nor influence their actions
as servants of the public.
For these reasons / am obliged to
enter my protest against the issu-
ance of this license.
Respectfully,
F. e. MINNETTE, Mayor.

stanzas of america. Rev. j. f. B.
Smith pronounced the benediction
and the audience dispersed.
The annual Memorial sermon to the
G. A. r. post and the Woman's Re-
lief Corps was preached on Sunday
morning by Rev. S. L. Mitchell, rect
er of the Church of the Good Samari-
tan. Both bodies attended and oc-
cupied reserved pews at the front Of
the church. The music was furnish
ed by the regular choir and was of a
high order. The boys surpliced choir
gave one selection alone which was
very we'll rendered and greatly ap-
preciated by the old soldiers and their
wives.
Mr.. Mitchell's text was Psalms
CXLIV:1, BLESSED be the Lord my
strength, which teacheth my hands
to war and my fingers to fight. The
speaker emphasized the idea that this
life is a continual warfare. Paul re-
ferred to the spiritual warfare and
gave thanks that through God he won
great victories. We do not fight in
our own strength, said Mr.. Mitchell;
if we did we could not conquer. We
should not be ashamed to stand and
fight for the right. The soldier bears
scars, he has the wounds upon him,
marks of the toll, the hardships he
endured, the sacrifices he made. So
every man bears marks, either of good
or of evil. A mans thoughts and
actions are written on his face. The
soldier who wears medals had to suf-
fer to get them. For every medal he
bears some scar and many of them are
on the inside.
The good soldier of Jesus Christ is
recognized by the the scars he bears.
He must sacrifice and suffer if he
would win. The number of privates
is far greater than the number of
officers; it Is in the rank and file that
the heroes exit. Gods heroes fight
in a way we know nothing of; their
battles are with self and their evil
natures: their victories are known
and read of all men.
At this point Mr.. Mitchell, while
emphasizing the importance of chari-
ty, digressed little to remark that
not all virtue exists in any one church;
that each denomination should be
charitably inclined to others.
A mans faith should be proven by
