NOW FOR SOMETHING ELSE.

Texas has just emerged from the
most protracted, strenuous and eX-
hausting political contest that the
present generation has yet expert
enced. In Brazos county the heat of
the strife was intensified by the des'
perate struggles of well matched can.
didates for nearly every one of the
county offices. Happily 1T is all over
and the result in every case is de-
cisive. There is therefore no reason
for keeping up the agitation. Now
let us turn to the other and more
important duties that confront us.
PROFESSIONALLY the first of these
duties is to perfect organization for
the development of the resources of
Brazos county, the promotion of exist
ing institutions and the establishment
of new enterprises that make for the
upbuilding of Bryan.
The Commercial Club is yet in its
infancy. AS yet only the hustlers, the
"live-wires,' the men of alert percep-
tons and enlarged ideas, have been
brought to a realization of the advan-
tage of cooperation and of the truth
that cooperation without organization
is impossible There are yet many
who do not appreciate the Importance
of this work There is also the shirk-
man who makes excuses for
failing to do his part He can only be
reached by creating public opinion
that will compel him to come out of
his shell of prejudice and selfishness
and bear his part of the expense.
Thorough organization and hearty CO.
operation, will speedily bring such inn
portant results that the man who holds
back will find himself in an ever de-
creasoing minority, and as a matter
of policy will fall into line. The
of every enterprise promot-
ed by the Commercial Club will not be
Durdensome to anybody if everyone
will bear his share of the burden ac-
,ording to his means and to the bene-
fits he receives from it,
The failure of enterprises for the
public good heretofore has been caus-
I'd by personal spite and factional !
ealousies Thorough organization
will remove these obstacles by bring |
ng together the factionists and max
ng them acquainted with each other. |
Organization means education, it re-
moves false impressions and broadens |
knowledge of men and things, with
tut which cooperation is impossible.
The Eagle again calls attention to
lmerson's maxim that no great I'M
iertaking can be accomplished with |
cut enthusiasm. In order to keep the |
'ervor at a working heat, every meet
ng of the club should be made inspi- !
rational. This can be done by short. |

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS.

The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year,
The boy that made the fatal run.
To him the world seems drear
Heaped in the bosom of his gloom
His prospects now lie dead,
His voice most silent as the tomb,
He scarcely lifts his head.
That happy smile of hope is gone
He's in a different mode,
Would scarcely now shake hands with
you
Though meet you in the road.
For mercy's sake don't joke him now
He has no heart for fun
| But kindly let him tell you how
He thinks the trick" was done.
Where are those smokes and free
drinks now,
That lately were so good,
Which brought all men of every class
Into one brotherhood?
Alas! we pause just here to think
They've sadly passed away,
And were you now to smoke or drink
You'd have the bill to pay.
The picnic and the barbecue,
They persisted with the rest,
That ardent love for public stew
Now slumbers meath his breast.
He courted favor with the pro-
With anti" just as well,
But now with him they both may go
To Houston or H-Hempstead.
And now when come the calm mild
days
For sure such days will come,
The bill collector calls around
Presents his little sum.
The new church man he calls also.
With his forgotten list.
And if your name is not on that
You'll find it sure on this.
And now he'd gladly kick himself
If he were but a mule,
Yes KICK himself almost to death,
For being such a fool.
Yet still, when come those hopeful
days
Those days Just two years hence.
Wen find him for a month or so
A-sitting on the fence.
Just then the heeler comes around
Whose friendship once he bore,
And says, old boy you must get down
And make the race once more.
And then Wen find him on the track
His pockets full of chink,
The smile of hope has now come back,
Come boys, and take drink.

NAVAJO BLANKET TIME
 WILL NEVER BE BETTER
Some Remarks as to "Oiseounts" and
 Other Inducements.

Though this is not the best time to buy Navajo blankes there has ever been. it is a better time than there ever will be again. They were cheap CT q year ago. still cheaper two, five and ten years ago, but they will be much costlier a year, five or ten years hence These remarks have reference 6f course, only to good blankets, the kind which has made the Navajos famous, the kind sold at Balke's Big Curio store.
 The inferior kind will probably not advance in price. The dealers who have them made only to sell. will prob ably arrange that they shall be made little more inferior. But that is not the kind of a blanket one will buy if he knows it.
 Some dealeSs seek to stimulate the blanket business by offering discounts, but no dealer offers discounts on the good kind of blankets which are al- ready being sold at as close d margin as can be afforded and which could norbe replaced next week at the same prices.
 The discount dealer in blankets is either knavfsh or foolish. He may have loaded himself in his ignorance, with the, kind of blankets which he is now trying to get rid of by trying to find some one who knows still less about blankets than he did and he presents the lure of the discount. Or he may have bought the blankets with malice aforethOught. deliberately in tending to lure his customers with the discount.
 The Big Curio store holds outian- othr kind of an inducement-the stand ing guarantee to take back any of its blankets at the price paid for it by thepurchaser. The discount dealer of fers no such guaranty. He wants to see neither the blanket nor the pur- chaser again.
 Attention iS called again to the Big Curios stock Of penny apiece post cards which visitors say is the largest best selected and most beautiful they have seen. Yet they are only a penny apiece

MINES AT M0HAVE
 IN IMPENDING DEAL
Negotiations Resumed Between Own. CTS Of ei-Metal and John Hays
 Hammond.

Kingman. Ariz-. Jan.7 22.-(Special Correspondence to The Republican.)- E. NJ. Lamont, manager of the Bi-Met- al mine, has again been called to Los Angeles by a telegram from B. F. Keith, engineer for John Hays Ham mond. The Bi-Metaf is a large deposit of low grade gold ore about three miles south from Kingman and has been un- der bond to MT. Hammond for several months past.
 Mir. Lamont returned from a confer ence with the Hammond representa- tfves in Los Angeles only about week ago with the information that the deal was off. The mine had been held up to a most rigid examination of several months by corps of expert engineers and geologists. but the price had been the obstacle to the conclusion or the transfer. With the idea that the deal was indeed off, MT. Lamont was busi- ly engaged in preparations for the im- mediate enlarging of the Bi- i-Metal mill by thirty stamps and four Hunting tons when he received the Keith message. When seen just before he left for, Los Angeles, he was confident that the object of the call was the ad- justment of the price question, and he believed it would be satisfactory.
 The erection and operation of the To- cal power plant, which was expected to solve the transportation problem, has seemed only to add to it. Work in the San Francisco district, to which most of the hauling is done, has much more than doubled since it's comple- tion, and freighting has increased cor respondingly. Two new 14-horse strings' were added this week by one of the local freighters. so that there are now in and around Kingman more than 200 head of stock used in freight ing.

|0NLY THE YOUNG
 FIT FOR cHAuFFEuRs
A View of the Case Cleaned From
 "Fitz Mae"

"FitZ Mac" is inclined to the auto mobile as means of pleasure and as a. facilitator of business, but he believes that he has passed the age when he could undertake to be his own chauffeur. A time comes in the life of every man when he ceases to decide things quickly. and prompt de- cision is one of the functions of the chauffeur.
 ''Fitz Mac" does not mean to con- yey that a chauffeur, that is, one who has become a chauffeur before caution had developed. abnormally, becomes useless as a chauffeur at a certain age. and must give way to a younger man. On the contrary his efficiency may ripsn with age. He has long since acquired the art of deciding promptly and it has grown into a habit which wih serve him until he becomes phy- sically delinquent by age.
 "Fitz Mac" illustrated his views re- garding the necessity of promptness in deciding what to do. by mathematical proposition: chauffeur is approach ing a post or other stationary object at the rate of forty miles an hour. He is within forty-five feet of it. Ii can be easily figured out how soon he will decide on which side of the post he will pass. The. experienced chauf- feur would make up his mind in the fraction of a second. Even the novi- tiate chauffeur, if young man, would consume less than a second in the solution of this problem.
 The elderly man. or one whose hab- its of thought have been formed by deliberation, would not at once recog- nize a situation in which he would need to hand down. an opinion. before Christmas. He would thus find him. self forced into the middle course of passing, or trying to pass. on both sides of the pest, to the detriment of the radiator, the carbureter and the chauffeur. to say. nothing of the head lights.

COWS NEVER TASTED
 ALFALFA BEFORE
Two Cows in Wisconsin Ate Ten Bales of the Bartlett Heard Ex- =. hibit and Gained 2Ia Pounds
 a Day.

A good example of what alfalfa will do in the land where it does not grow is reported from Amherst, Wis, where ten bales of the exhibit of the Bart lett Heard company at the Land and Irrigation congress held in Chicago were sent.
 A letter was received yesterday from G. w. Cate of the Dwight B Heard office from his father. A. G Cate of Amherst. Ten bales of the hay were sent to him and he tried il on his cows. They had never tasted anything like it before. The two cows that fed on the alfalfa were weighed each day and found to gain two and a half pounds every day that they were on the alfalfa diet. The wonderful fattening powers of the clover astonished the farmers in that district The alfalfa was from the fifth cutting and was harvested No- vember 8.
 One of the authorities on alfalfa is F. D. Coburn. secretary of agricul- ture for the state of Kansas. In his book on the subject he refers to all falfa as the hogs idea of heaven
 Some pertinent extracts from the book are printed below for the inform ation of those who may not be ac- quainted with the properties of this best of all folders.
 ''The cultivation and feeding of al- fslfa mark the highest development of modern agriculture. Alfalfa is one of natures choicest gifts to man; it is the preserver and the conserver of the homestead. It does not fail from old age. It loves the sunshine. con- verting the sunbeams into gold coin in the pockets of the thrifty husband man. It is the greatest mortgage litter yet discovered"
 Wherever alfalfa grows the land is not only enriched but the grower~as we'll, for it not only fills the soil with valuable plant food. but as hay and pasture it brings large returns that substantially increase the owners bank account. Through its wonderful root-systeul alfalfa restores. enriches and improves rather than depletes the soil to the great benefit of other sue ceeding crops. It makes poor land good, and good land better"
 'As feed stuff. particularly it's leafy portions. alfalfa is estimated to have value closely approximating that of wheat bran. It is proven far superior to the justly prized red clover as a soil restorer. and its annual hay yield per acre is from two to three times greater. Besides one to three cuttings of hay in the same season, a seed crop harvested is often found a source of greater profit than if hay alone was the consideration"
 Alfalfa is exceedingly rich in pro- tein. the element in which corn and other crops are deficient, and hence it serves admirably as balance to the feeding ration, saving the purchase of high priced feedstuffs, such as wheat tran; it is this quality that makes it especially prized as a factor in dairy husbandry"
