The possibilities of the lands OF
this county are almost limitless, but
the possibilities of the men seem to
be limited. If the men and resources
were as limitless as the lands in get
ting results this would indeed be a
garden of plenty.

1t would be serious reflection UP
on the intelligence and refinement of
Texas to elect a man of small calibre
as lieutenant governor. In casting
your vote do not lose sight of the fact
that governors sometimes die, and if
such man was lieutenant governor
just think what fix the state would
be in.

Palestine nestles in the garden spot
of Texas, but the gardeners are not as

should be. This fact is keeping Pal

agree with me. He thought 1t more
than likely his bride would balk at
such unceremonious haste.
But, by Jove! l know a girl who has
no such foolishness about her
When l married Dearest-who had
been the Hon. Agatha Wyckhoff, you
know-she did not make me wait for
anything We were married at the
questionable hour of seven in the
morning in a certain little well-re-
membered chapel in the village of
Wye, with Mrs. Armistead her aunt,
as our only attendant. And then
but | forgot am not telling our
story, but Terhunes Poor old chap!
IF you could have seen mimi" l said
70 Dearest, throwing myself on the
terrace at her feet. Never saw him
in such a state! He was in the wild
est hurry to begin his record break
ing campaign for a wife, but didn't
know how to go about it at all And
couldn't blame him really. Twenty
thousand dollars year would make
all the difference in the world to
him!"
The Celina Democrat. (Celina, O. [Ohio]) 1895-1921, 1910-10-21

But she interrupted me. Yes" she
said, so far you're quite right. But
don't you see, Freddy, dear. that the
Agathas l meant to invite are Agatha
First and Agatha Sixth. In the first
place, they are the only Agathas of all
the six yet unmarried, and in the sec
ond place, they just happen to be the
two girls Archibald showed the most
interest in at the time you two men
were guests at Castle Wyckhoff for
the first time"
"Of course" cried, 81 see it now!
And you think he'll have more of
chance with them than with strange
girls he's never seen before2"
The secretary, l mean my wife

occasionally sometimes when I'm
talking Of old times-smiled indulgent-
ly. "As l argue it," she said, 1T will
be his only chance. He couldn't hope
to accomplish anything in ten days,
in regard to a girl he doesn't know,
and if you will remember, Agatha
Sixth showed marked liking for him
at that time! A most important point
in favor of his speedy marriage!"
Then why not ask just Agatha
Sixth? Why have Agatha First, too?'
! inquired innocently.
Dearest allowed the most delightful
little expression of pity for my linn
tied masculine intelligence to dim the
brightness of her eyes.

During the hot and dry weather of
July the leaves Of the tree appeared
to wither and even the fruit itself
showed signs of beginning to shrivel
up. Then copious rains fell and the
tree gave evidence of the benefits It
received. Buds began to swell again
and an entirely new set of blossoms
began to appear.

where this Exposition Is 10 be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-

New Orleans and San Francisco
are eontesting for the honor Of hold

have guaranteed immense sums OF

ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost IN railroad and Pullman

Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the 'Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiatad
by the following faets:-
New Orleans is 900 miles from the
center OF population In the Omitted
states. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom,
Within a radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 1T500.000
people Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 1000, 900.
Within a radius Of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are $4,000. 600.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000
At an average o. 500 miles from
New Orleans, there are 10 Of our
principal cities with a combined
population Of 20000000. Averaging
300 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a com
bined population Of Just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 1872 miles,
to San Francisco 2,t07 miles
over rs per cent Of the people Of
the United States could go TO an

pense for railroad fare Of $3.50. as

for a trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans.
This is an important public ques-
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.

tion, and IF held in New Orleans =
