Why Texans Are Proud

II Is gratifying to realize as
we journey from home, not alone
in this but in foreign lands, the
degree Of respect now received
by a Texas gentleman.
We say now from the fact that
heretofore, through ignorance,
doubt and Misrepresentation, the
greatness Of Texas was not
known and the high excellence
not appreciated.
But as the calcium has gradu-
ally been turned % so as 10 won
der and admiration taken the
place of prejudice and skepticism
The mingIing Of strangers with
Texans invariably works q rcve-
.ation especially upon their be-
coming conWncaao of the chiyaIr'c
spirit culture. refinement e.e-
gance and superiority of Texas
men and women. This is why
homage Is now paid them You
are no sooner known in New
York, Paris or London as "a Tex
an than you become q guest of
welcome.
The reason OF our great state
is signaied out as the grandest In
the union is because she leafs
every state in the union iu near
ly every money-produciug pro-
duct known % commerce. and
yet She is only in the cradle of
her agricultural industrial. and
financial Development
With her matchIcss domain of
over 2JO. 900 square miles OF ter-
rIlory

Live Stock Market.

13 Cattle here this week 36.100, last week 34,S00, same week last year 40,700 The market opened Monday strong to 15 higher, and has remained firm each day since, except for a slight weakness on steers Tuesday, and a decline of 10 to 20 cents on hpifers since Tues day. Odd head of steers reached $8.50 this week, but top on loads on different days was from $7G0to to $775, pointing to a lack of prime finish. Bulk of steers sold between $6.5O and $7.50, top cows $650, top heifers $7.00, bulk of cows and heifers $4.25 to $500, bulls at $40 to $5 S5, veal calves un- changed from last week best at $9.0O. Stockers and feeders are in strong demand, prices firm, stock CTS at $4.25 to $600, feeders $5.25 to $6.50, the latter price for extra good fieshy steers, Quarantine re- ceipts increased little this week and the best price on record here was paid for top steers, at $40, other sales of steers ranging from $5.25 to $7 %, fed Colorados from the Sugar Mills at $700 to $7 50, and hay fed Utahs and Colorados at $5 S5 to $6.65
 Hogs this week 3S, 700, last week 38,200, same week last year 73,900. The market went up sensationally almost every day this week, but is quiet to-day, at slightly below the top reached yesterday Best price to-day is $1O5O, bulk of sales $1010 to $lO.40, weights under 200fb atS1000 to $103G. The main incentive for the sky rocket ten dency of the market is, of course, scarcity of hogs, but speculation also cuts some figure. Chicago took off a quarter on the price since yesterday morning, when the sensational figures were reached indicating sensible reaction. For tunately for consumers, cattle anC sheep receipts so far this year ar' very little below the normal mum Der. feature tnat puts some sor of bridle on the 6ighty hog mar ket.

Home Mission Meetings.

Four speakers from out of the
State were in Skowhegan October 81.
They were all experts in the work of
missions in America. One of the
speakers. Rev. F. A Agar was from
Idaho, where he is superintendent OF
missions. Mr.. Agar is man of wide
experience in mission work. For a
time he was In Africa. He readily
drew from his large fund of expert
ences among the Indians.
Miss Emma Anderson, who has had
several years of experience in New
Mexico and Arizona, was fluent and
interesting speaker. She portrays her
missionary experiences in a graphic
way. Her story was thrilling one
which revealed her conservation and
her many narrow escapes.
Mrs. Bishop. the New England Sec
rotary of the Woman's American Bap-
list Home Mission Society, told
picturesque story of trip to Cuba.
She possesses an excellent faculty of
telling what she sees and of making
it all very real to her hearers.
The fourth speaker was the Rev.
James E. Norcross, the District Secre-
tary of the American Baptist Home
Mission Society. Mr.. Norcross has a
fine vision of the greatness of the
work of home missions and presents
nuggets of truth and fact in crisp
'erse direct way. His addresses are
always models of eloquent directness.
There were two meetings held. AT
three o'clock in the First Baptist
church and at 100 in the Bethany
church.

Sunday afternoon the regular four
o'clock service followed by the Bible
class was held. A new departure was
undertaken by the chairman of the re-
ligious work committee, Gerald Mar
BILE, and Mrs. J. Palmer Merrill was In
yited to speak before the boys. That
the idea of a lady speaker was a sue
cess there could be no doubt as was
shown by the many remarks of APP
probation heard following the SERVICE.
Mrs. Merrill, always an original
speaker, took for her theme Christie
pher Columbus" After telling of the
most interesting way of studying his
tory, Mrs. Merrill proceeded to illus
trate by recounting the story of Chris
tcpher Columbus. She then read a
poem by Miller the Californian poet
on Columbus. The idea that was fl
nally left with her audience was not SO
much an outline of interesting his
torical facts but the central point that
impressed all was: Whatever
your vision or ideal press toward it
regardless of the besetting difficulties
or in the words of the poet, Sail on,
sail on, and on, and on" Mrs. Mer
rill emphasized very strongly the
need of every young fellow having
some goal or point of attainment to
ward which they must live their lives.
Every Sunday afternoon the club
holds a service at four o'colck All
men and boys are most cordially in
yited to attend. Following the SER
vice short Bible class is held with
Emmons Head in charge.
The business meeting followed by
the Mock Congress, came off Tuesday
evening with large attendance. After
the party caucuses the House pro-
ceeded to elect it's officers for the fol-
lowing month, the results were as
follows Speaker Fred Richardson;
vice speaker Elliott Spear; clerk, Err
rol Chase, reelected; assistant clerk,
Linwood Jewett; sergeant-at-a
Carroll Flanders.
Several new bills were introduced at
this session by Dyer of Michigan and
Spear of Indiana. The bill introduced
by Sheaff of Maine was laid upon the
table until the next session that more
information might be obtained. This
bill called for an appropriation for
enlarging the fortifVations about
Portland harbor. 1t is expected that
this and several other bills calling for
appropriations will receive strenuous
attacks from the leaders of the Mug
wump party as this party is pledged
apparently to an economical session.
Several members with musical abil-
ity are to meet in the rooms at some
near date to form club orchestra

The New President of the
Maine Central

"The corporation of which am the
executive head, will not play the dog
in the manger. Where we are not
prepared to provide facilities we will
cheerfully stand aside and allow 9TH
ers to do so," said Charles S. Mellen,
president of the N. Y, N. H. & H. r.
R., addressing the railroad committee
of the Connecticut Legislature in
1904. When put to the test week
later, his word proved as good as the
proverbial bond.
Some few months before, the writ
er with others had petitioned for a
flag station to accommodate the peo-
pie of his native town. The General
Manager of the road turned the re-
quest down, after more or less per-
functory investigation. Subsequently
promoters had sought legislative per-
mission to build a trolley parallel to
that branch of the railroad, and it
was while appearing in their behalf,
that we learned of the remark by Mr..
Mellen quoted above
Attorneys for the New Haven OPP
posed the trolley people before the
committee and the day following We
took the train for New Haven. We
laid the situation before Mr.. Mellen,
illustrating 1t with map, and after
looking it over for few minutes,
he called in his stenographer, and
dictated instructions for the erection
of the desired station.
The above is but one of numerous
examples. No man takes a genuine
grievance to c. s. Mellen without get
ting satisfaction SO far as lies In his
power to grant 1t. Maine people are
to be congratulated on having him at
the head Of their principal railroad.

HARTLAMD HAS BUILT
NEW GRANGE HALL
Equal, ii Not Superior, to ANY Other
In County.

A new Grange hall has just been
completed In Hartland 1t is equal
If not superior to any in the county,
and represents careful planning and
much labor of love. For the patrons
who come from near and 8far to at
tend the meetings of East Somel Get
Pomona. there is ample room in the
assembly hall upstairs, w&:le the IA
cilit!es of the kitchen and dining room
below give assurance that none are
permitted to depart unrefreshed.
Hartland Grange was among the
last to be organized in Somerset coun-
ty. and for considerable time the
old town hall furnished ample &C
commodations. Late years, however.
the organization has so t1ourished that
more room became an imperative ne
cessity. Agitation in favor of building
became acute something over two
years ago, and committees was final
ly raised to carry out the complete
plans. Lamont Robinson, Orlando
Brooks. and Charles P. Barnes were
duly appointed and the finished hall is
ample evidence that the choice was
wise one.
The present roster shows men,
bership of over two hundred, making
Hartland Grange the tenth numerical
ly in the county. Charles P. Barnes Is
the present Master; Mrs. Nora Chase
Lecturer and F. II. Farnum, Secre-

A Nice Outlook

The news comes leaking along the
highways from Augusta, that the
close of the Fernald administration
~ill show a deficit of a million dol
lars as compared with the beginning.
Fine large joke. When the Democrats
made their charges TO that effect.
Governor Fernald met them with the
statement that the treasury at the
close of his term would be in as good
condition as at end of Governor
Cobb's. Fernald may think he is a
Republican, but few more of his
kind will be the death of the party.
A prominent Republican comment
ing on this nice mess says: III we
had told the truth and taken the
licking. we would have been In good
shape to come back two years hence.
But where in thunder are we at now?'
Echo answers where?
We can stand mistakes. errors of
judgment, and even a certain amount
vi iulS6uluCu Ltdi iOi llt parry but
for lying, never. Deliberate false
hood is inexcusable in boy. unpar-
donabe in a man, and in the chief
magistrate of state beyond the ca
pacity of language to fifty condemn. So
long as the gang that ran the last
campaign is in control of the party
machinery, Republicans are likely to
appeal to the voters In vain.
Yet we hear that Fernald hobs up
serenely with the opinion that he was
merely the victim of circumstances,
and ought to have another nomination
in 1912. Will somebody please take
a large club and wake the dreamers
up. Do it now before they have slept
too long. Well be in the midst of
another campaign soon enough in
spite of ourselves.
