In Louisiana as They Have Near San
Antonio, Says Mr.. HubbeIl,
of Texas.

Yesterday Messrs. L. T. HubbeI, OF
Houston, Texas, and ]. c. Hardison,
of New Iberia, were in town and gave
their views to The Advertiser man on
the boil weevil problem. Mr.. Hub
bell is at the head of Hubbell, Slack
& Co., cotton dealers, and Mr.. Hardi-
son is the Louisiana agent for the
firm. They represent the American
Round Bale Company and are thor
oughly informed on all matters per-
tanning to cotton. Mr.. Hubbell says
that about San Antonio and lower
down the weevil has practically disap-
peared and he maintains that despite
the more favorable conditions here for
Information, the pest will gradually
die out or leave the country. He was
very optimistic as to prospects here
and said his company would proba-
bly enter the corn market next fall
and dispose of the great surplus yield

He lighted cigarette, and settled

She was looking out Of the window

she suddenly burst into tears.

THE King offers you his sinceres1
congratulations on attaining your

the Mazda Vale district the other day.

Then he lit cigar.
The recipient of the telegram, who
could read with ease on his ninetieth
birthday, whose memory was undimm.

cigar, was W. P. Firth. R. A., the vet

the most famous.

many recreations left, but 1 am

MY sight is pretty nearly as good as

to bed with me and read myself to
sleep.
And how many old fellows OF my
age can really enjoy cigar? / can,
though. Nearly always 1 smoke six

seven. Sometimes I tell my house
keeper that ! must really cut down
my smoking allowance. Fancy an old

recreation for an old man, SO long as
he has the use of his legs, is walking.
For an hour after dinner I can still
enjoy a quiet game of whist. No
life's no dreary thing to me.
Il don't want more than two meals
a day now-one In the morning and
one at night" he went on. But

Once Around the Axis


Business on the Big Wheel was
rather slack that afternoon, and she
sat in solitary dignity in her saloon
compartment until, just as the official
was about to close the door, young
man darted In. He was good-looking
and well-dressed, but when she saw
him she started up and rushed to-
ward the door
Let me out I've changed my
mind" she cried. but the man out
side shook his head.
VERY sorry, Miss, but 1t can't be
done. You must wait till the Wheel
goes round; only twenty minutes.

"If 1t is my presence that distresses
YOU" said the young man who had
come in, '1et me assure you l shall
in no way modest you"
your presence is itself molesta-

pretty, very young, and evidently
knew what became her.
IT beg your pardon; perhaps you
were not aware these are public cars"
he said, with elaborate politeness.
Under the circumstances l should
have thought even you would have
had good taste enough to refrain
from intruding on me-"
'Intruding? A mere accident has
brought us together. We shall part
In twenty minutes Let us hope Fate
may not again be so indiscreet."
She made no answer, but was APP
parently absorbed In the view, as their
car slowly rose higher and higher.
The strains of the band, the whirring
rush of the switchback. and the
shrieks Of the passengers. became
fainter and fainter, the elephants and
camels in the court below receded to
the size Of dogs, and the men running
briskly about appeared like some fan
tastic kind OF toys The car was
nearly at the greatest height when
the pause made by the wheel to allow
passengers in the bottom ones to get
in and out grew strangely longer
She looked over the edge. checked
herself on the verge of an exclama-
ton, looked again. hesitated, and final
ly said, anxiously:
