THE BIG LIQUIDATION SALE.
The Store of A. J. Wagner & Co. Still
the Center of Attraction and
Business Fine.

The big liquidation sale inaugurated
at the store of A. ]. Wagner & Co. on
the 18th of this month is still in pro-
gress and is attracting large crowds
every day. The reason is plain and
easily understood. The sale was thor
oughly advertised throughout this
whole section of country and the
thousands of prices quoted were real
bargains. The people are close read
ers. they are up on prices and in con-
sequence. know a bargain when they
see it. Neither are they slow to take
advantage of every opportunity to
save money. These are times when it
is absolutely necessary to make every
saving possible, and when the eco
nomic buyer sees a bargain adver-
tised, though he or she may not need
it right then, they know they must
have this very article in only short
time. and the sensible thing to do is
to buy 1t now when they can save
from one-third to one-half of its cost.
The stock is being moved fast and
If the present interest continues un.
I'll the sale closes on the 30th, the In
dications are that It will be almost
il not entirely closed out.
Messrs, Lesser and Epstein, who
have managed the advertising for the
sale, have proven themselves to be
experts in the business. They have
given 1t the widest publicity, and the
manner in which they went about I,
demonstrates the fact that they are
masters in their line. With all the,
are pleasant and affable gentlemen
and conduct their business in mos
agreeable manner.

IMPROVEMENTS IN STREETS.
And Sidewalks Made at Georgetown
Texas.

Georgetown, April 17.-During the
past three months about four miles
of cement sidewalks and street cross
ings have been built in Georgetown
which added to the twenty-five miles
of graveled streets, makes 1t almost
impossible for rain to create mud here.
About thirty miles OF macadam
roads have been built into the city
on the Florence, Corn Hill, Lampasas,
Jonah and Wolburg roads in the past
two years, making a total cost In
these improvements OF about $4,000.
The work is going steadily on.-Hous-
ton Post.
There is food for thought, and lots
of it. Bryan and Brazos county have
spent more than that in the past few
years on streets and roads. and yet we
have comparatively no sidewalks. not
foot OF graveled streets and not an
inch of graveled roads. II will be the
same way a thousand years from now
II only temporary work is done. which
must be done over again next year and
again the next, and so on for all eter'

.HALLEY's COMET IS
WITHIN RANCE OF EYE
Sky wanderer crept into carothers'
Telescope at Early Hour-ls Mil
lions Of Miles Away.

Haliey's comet was easily visible to
the unaided eye in Houston Monday
morning. At 1880 o'clock it rose above
the horizon and entered the field of
the waiting telescope at the Carothers
observatory and, once identified, was
quite easily seen without the use OF
the telescope.
In speaking Of the comet the tele-
scope operator said:
This is our first view of this comet
since it went behind the sun March %.
1t has the appearance of a star Of
about the fifth magnitude, or one mag.
nitude larger than the smallest stars
seen by the unajded eye. Close in
spection without the telescope also re-
veals faint cometary outlines. We be-
lieye a good opera glass would make
the tail easily visible. In the observ-
atory telescope the comet is we'll de-
veloped. with bright coma, a good
sized nucleus about the coma and
broad-flowing tail about one degree in
length. Just behind the coma is seen
a dark space often aoticed in comets.
At present the comet is approximately
li5,000,000 miles distant from the
earth Comet 1910 was only about
20 100000 miles distant when at its
best last January. so that Halley's
promises to show up as Q magnificent
object when at its best only about 90
100000 miles away.
The earth and Halley's comet are
now approaching one another at the
rate of approximately 100000 miles
daily, At its present distance tail
of one degree in length signifies that
it is 100000 miles long and just in
its infancy. 1t should easily reach to
and envelop the earth by the time OF
its transit of the sun on the night of
Nav IS.

Ray stannard Baker, writing in the
November American Magazine on the
present political situation snys that
Aldrich's knowledge, learning and sa
gacity are like bursted soap bubbles.
He writes:
Il think there was never in our his
tory fiction more thoroughly exploded
than the fiction called Aldrieh. Every
one had imputed to Aldrich an almost
supernatural sagaeity The insurgents
themselves dreaded him; but under the
fire Of Deliver, Cummius, Beveridge and
La Toilette, he exploded, dried up, and
blew away
For downright mastery, indeed, Of all
the arts of the new oratory no man
in our public life to-day eXcels Dolliver
OF Iowa, For years Dolliver has been
in public life. He is a large natured
maR of rather INDECENT mentality. For
years he was willing to be a follower
of Allison and the group that ruled the
party; and it is only within the last
two years that he has begun TO awaken.
There are natures which require a pow
erful incentive-'a burr under the tail
they say in Iowa-to drive them to great
action.
"Dolliyer refused 10 take Aldrich Sc
riously. He played with him He tossed
him up and twisted him about. Once

be treats the senior senator from Rhode
Island, at the same time showing With
Irresistible irony how his assumed bnowl-
edge Of the tariff il taken ii undigested

interests Of the East. Deliver said on
the floor of the Senate: i used to have
an almost superstitious awe OF the en-
cycIopedie character OF his Mr.. Aid
rich'sl information about these matters,
and told how he had been shocked to dis
cover, ia the course OF the debate, that
Aldrich had never even read the estimat
ed revenue book which his committee
had issued
1T came to pass finally that when
Deliver spoke Aldrich would leave his
chair and fly to the Hobbies. ! find this
amusing passage in the Congressional
Record showing how Aldrieh was once
detained in spite of himself;
"Mr. Dolhver Now take another mat

Rhode Island and everywhere, carried

by a vote of 81 to 5, on the main ques-
tion OF which resolution, his or Mr.. Hills,
should be adopted as the position Of the

This section was taken only after one

Speaker Walker by moving the previous
question, declaring that Mr.. Walker had
already spoken four times, that they
were sick Of him, and did not want to
hear any more from him. Wiser com-
sells from cooler beads, however, pre-
vailed. and Mr.. Walker was given the
zone minute" for which he asked to
warn the members that, if his resolu-
tion failed of adoption. the public would
eonstrue the clubs action as that of GO

Contented Home-Life.

That women are not so fond Of do
nestle life as they were fifty years ago
is patent to all But isn't it because
MANY think they must live domestic
life as it was fifty years ago when now
conditions all about them are changed ?
Many a business woman gives up a
good position with its activities and
interests and settles down to the do
nestle routine because this is the ac-
cepted thing for a woman TO do when
she marries. But she soon begins to
feel that she is bound to some mex
olable wheel that goes round and round
III a tiny, narrow space, and she looks
out upon her sisters in the big world
with their many interests, bit en-
yiously. She begins to think married
lie a triAe monotonous and tame, that
even if her days are full, they are just
a bit colorless.
But is this state of affairs a neees-
sary accompaniment OF married life
Aren't women who find domestic life
monotonous living only in one phase of
1t, and thus, themselves, giving it its
drab tone, when it might have the live
ii and varied hues Of the rainbow?
Home-lfe and love make the heart
rich and life full. There's no getting
away from that And if all else is
sacrificed to securing these treasures
they are worth the sacrifice. But is
the sacrifice necessary
Because one must push a baby-coach
is there the need to become slave
to the baby-eoacb as so many women
do? When the baby is asleep, could
they not golf, play tennis, 60 boating,
do something for the other side Of their
life, and thus bring into it life and
cclor and zest.
Because one cooks or washes dishes
is it necessary to live in the atmosphere
OF the kitchens One can think some
thing beside the range Of the cook book,
Between times, a current events class,
reading circle. or something to give
food to some other side of ones ma
ture, could claim the attention.
Domestic life has its cares, but one
should not sink under them. Give the
heart all the love possible, 1t is the
food it needs. And it is the richest
nourisbment one can pour into ones
life. IT blossoms in many beautiful
ways. But also give the mind and body
its necessary food in the way of mental
stimulus and physical recreation. To
do this rounds life, develops it sym
metrically, brings joy and satisfaction
to every part of it. Domestic life will
then be no longer tame and monotonous.

Says Alleged Reductions In Food Prices
Are Due to Manipulation-New
York Dealers Give Color to
Charge

Washington, Nov. IT, DIR. Harvey W.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry,
fred large projectile at the so-called

and due to manipulation by big inter-

"The interests have temporarily loos-
ened their holds on our throat in order
to get a fresh grip" declared DR.. Wiley.
"The same interests that manipulated
the market upward are now trying to
manipulate it downward. The so.ealled
reduction in prices is fictitious. II you

their purpose prices viii 60 up again"

lieVe the drought in the southwest and
the consequent shortage and high price

But that was one of the first cases of
limb grating on the human subject and
though it was ON the whole successful,
it had some curious and embarrassing
results. The muscles OF that new and
illiterate right arm had to be trained
to write. Once the trick had been mas

familiar with the revised signature the
new right hand showed an alarming will
ingness to sign checks, which required
a constant watchfulness on the part Of

those who attacked him. Now, when
provocation offered, the bellicose right
fist doubled itself up, threateningly, and
