Pity They Can't See It.

The Dallas News does not believe
that the commercial secretaries should
open headquarters in Austin during
the coming session of the legislature
Why should they? To prevent legis-
lation has. been the end and aim of
the commercial secretaries, and their
influence while at Austin during the
Thirty-first legislature was so mega
tive as to make it doubtful if their
presence there did not help rather
than hinder the passage of bills. We
do not now recall single measure
that that organization opposed that did
not become a law. OF course, few
bills were defeated, but they would
have been defeated if that association
did not exist.-Tyler Courier-Times.

Stood High as a Third Class Fiddler

Walter Evans, correspondent of the

more about Kansas politics than any
man alive. He thinks Kansas is one
of the greatest states in the Union.
Speaking of fiddling," he said, 81
knew four brothers once that went to
Kansas and took up four adjacent
quarter sections. Each built a mud
house on a corner of each section, so
that their homes were close together.
Then they proceeded to plant all four
sections with wheat. They didn't get
grain that year, because of the
drouth.
They were up against it hard when
winter came. So two of the brothers
went to Mexico and worked in the
mines. The other two stayed behind.
the miners sent them money to live
on. Next spring the two brothers re-
manning again sowed wheat They
had a bumper crop, and the miners
came home. Wheat was way up
then, and the brothers made barrel
of money. Now they own land in
Kansas till you can't rest. They don't
live in mud houses any more.
Talk about fddling; one of these
brothers, even after the bumper crop,
would ride to a dance at night, play
till morning and then ride home and
go to work. He got dollar and a hall
for his playing. He didn't stand very
high in the third class. either

has appeared at Smith Center and is
causing much concern among tree
growers and property owners The
ants are white and about the size of
the common black ones They already
have killed hundreds of fruit and for
est trees and done considerable dam
age to floors and window frames in
buildings. They work on trees just
beneath the surface of the ground, and
in many cases have completely girdled
a tree in one day. In buildings their
work is not detected until they have
the floor honeycombed with holes and
it is then too late to eradicate them.

Mr.. Nissen naturally values this book

LIFE OF A SEA DIVER
Captain Stone Has Had Some
Thrilling Experiences.
Seeks Dead at Bottom of Sea for More
Than Half Century-fias
Close Calls for His
Life.

Boston.-After 81 years spent in Wis
iting at frequent intervals that mys-
terious realm which lies at the bot
tom of the sea, during which long pc
Rod of time he has fathomed many
secrets of the deep, Capt John Stone
of Boston is still, at the ripe old age
of II. actively following the occupa-
ton of q submarine diver.
He is not only the dean of all the
divers of New England and the mari
time provinces, but is doubtless the
oldest active diver in the United
States. He says that he knows of no
man of his years in the country who
is in active work as diver.
Captain Stone has done about
everything that diver is called upon
to perform under water, but his work
has been largely in the line of wreck
ing operations and in searching for
the bodies of drowned people. He has
worked not only on the oceans bed
from Labrador to South Carolina, but
in fresh water as well, beneath lakes
and rivers and large reservoirs in diff
ferent parts of the country.
Captain Stones most narrowing ex-
perience as diver followed the aw-
full disaster that occurred in the
