there are more men educated to the
work. The public schools of Texas
are demanding men every day, and
the letters being received by Col. r. T.

the individual. Here are some of the
letters that have come to the college:

Jasper public schools: I'VE wish to

A QUIET CAMPAIGN.

As election day approaches, when the to hear more or less about the prospects for either license or no license-a subject which admittedly, arouses more interest ordinarily than the chances of either party's candidates for the officesAit is significant that there is little evidence of that strenuous, aggressive interest that characterized the campaign last year.
 So far as any partisan activity IS con- cerned, there is so little of it in evidence thus far that a cursory observer might almost conclude that both sides had agreed to ''let nature take its course, :" and omit the usual campaign of educa- tion. It is fair to assume, however, that each side has it's eye on the other, and that election day will witness the genu- inc article of rivalry in the pursuit of votes. Where men assemble to discuss the question at all, there is little or no bitterness or show of feeling over the subject.
 The familiar argument of the, license advocate is, that there is more intoxi- eating hquor sold in town to-day than there was under the license rule; hence we might as well have license and let the town have the revenue. This argu- ment the temperance advocate refutes with the assertion that while there may be liquor sold, under no license, there is nowhere near as much of it as claimed, and in any event the streets are freer from drunken buns, and safer for our wives and children to travel.
 There has been no spell binding ora tory, no public meetings on either side, and from outward indications it would appear that the intelligent voter is to be permitted to make up his own mind.

"SOME PUNKINS."
Where Wheeler Greens Lost Pig Made
 Her Home.

F1GT nome.
 Wheeler Green was an'old- time charac- ter well remembered by the oldest Ca naanites, who lived on the outskirts of Canaan and had a wide reputation as an imaginative story teller. His neighbors and friends admired him for his inven- tive skill as a prevaricator, and among those who knew him best in the region where he lived and lied, he was hardly ever expected to tell the truth if a whop- per would answer his purpose. There was nothing malicious about his yarns, and as he had faculty for making them interesting and often instructive, he was not only tolerated but in many circles courted for his companionable and enter taining qualities.
 Nothing delighted Wheeler Green more than to match some boaster's yarns with something better, and his exaggera- tions often served the good purpose of discouraging braggarts whenever he was about.
 It is related of him that on one occa- sion when he heard a certain farmer boasting of the large pumpkins that grew on his land, Wheeler was reminded of pumpkin crop that grew on his farm a few years before. He said the pumpkins grew on the side of a steep hill which was bounded on the lower side by high stone wall, on the other side of which was the turnpike.
 "Well sir" Wheeler said "them pun kins grew so big that they broke av ay from the vines an rolled down the hill an piled up a'gin' the stun wall till they wuz as high as the wall, then they rolled over it an filled up the road. They wuz plaint wuz made to the slectmen an had to put two yoke of oxen on an keep 'em busy day an night cartin' punkins away to keep the road clear. We'll, the next year planted my punkins on the other side of the hill next to the river. The vines grew so long that they reached clear across the river, maxim bridge to the other side. A lot of punkins grew on the ends of the vines that went across and there was one particularly big pun kin, as big as hogshead, on the opposite side of the river, We'll, about that time l missed one of my valuable sows- couldn't find hide nor hair of her, any where, till one day, when I was down by the river, l heard squealin' on the op- posite side. I went across on the pun kin-vine bridge an follered the squeal, right up to that tremenjus big punkin, an what you s'pose | found? Well sir, that old SOW had crossed the river on Punkin vine, dug out the inside of that big punkin for pig-pen, and had a family of twenty-seven nice, healthy pigs in there. They was, some punkin s in them days"

Public Work of Women

The women in Dayton, Ohio, have not waited to become voters befole ol ganiz- ing public service club. They became anxious for cleaner streets than was the case in the city, and they did not know how to get them without co. o.operation, so they got together, looked up the law, found that there was plenty of law fer the purpose they had ln miId, and Set out to have it enforced, so that there should be DO throwing of paper in the streets and they might be kept clean by obedience to the law.
 The case of Dayton is similar to that of every other city, but what IS left uu- reported with reference to Dayton Is whether or not the people who take up waste paper i'll ali parts of the city make practice of scattering it in the door yards and on the streets ill the so-called process of removal. There Is far more sin committed in that direction by col lectOrs of garbage and waste paper than there is by the careless throwing of paper In the streets by citizens themselves.
 In Los Angeles the women have orga- nized municipal league with nearly 600 members and scores more on the waiting list. The aim of the league is to work for sensible things that are worth while to the city There Is no politics in IL, but only love for their town and the de sire to help make it better in every way to live in. It would have vast access of power If it's members had the ballot, but they do not wait for that, since life is shrrt, buggo ahead to do things now.
 Women everywhere take an increasing interest in the welfare of the comm1ni ties i'll which they live, and make pro- gress, i'll that way, toward larger liberty of action ill all that concerns society in It's modest organization.
 What the women of New Orleans did to get that city properly severed and made fit to live in, is another illustration of how practical are they who are lead ing in the charge that is making its way and destined to keep on until there is no more thought of sex in American poli- tics than there is in religion, face. color or anything else.-Buffalo News.

hind the house, and had our coffee vel under way when bang and shell from 8 nearby Rebel battery went clear through the house and struck into the chimney, knocking our coffee into the fire and taking away our appetite for coffee and drove us to cover close up to the brick underpinning to the house. They had got good range on us. We munched our hardtack with water from our canteens as a substitute for the coffee.
 We could see battery half mile to the west, that was making the Harrison house a target, and the field in which the house stood was raked by both shot and shell. We got up close to the brick underpinning for what protection was possible, but the ping and bang into the house and through it and the rattle of crockery that the good people had left when they hastily vacated the premises, told us that the building was not shell or bullet proof. There was a we'll of water near the house with roof SUD- ported by four posts and wooden bucket supported by rope attached to a wind lass ill the top that made it possible for us to get water for use, but that proved to be almost worthless in the day, for no one could draw water there without being sure to draw the rebel fire, and the field surrounding the house was contin- ually swept by rebel bullets, and ss the wounded were carried up past us on stretchers they became target, and seldom got over the hill without some one of them getting hit. 1t was q very uncomfortable place, About noon Gen eral Upton came to the door and said
 Sergeant, take your men over the hill where you will get better protee- tion." So I told the men to go, one at a time. And I followed them after the last one had reached the rife pit on the hlll, ten rods away.

something ought to be done about it. The matter is referred to the Canaan Business Mems Association, with the respectful but firm suggestion that the Association get busy and appoint com mittee with instructions to find out what's the matter with the aforesaid equilibrium, have 1t fixed before it is too late, and place the responsibility where it belongs. The News will cheerfully head subscription paper to defray the expense of the repairs.
 Uncle Horace is of the opinion that the trouble is caused by "the removal and decomposition of dense matter con- tained in the interior" If that be the case, it is plainly up to the authorities the selectmen or somebody-to ascertain who's been removing the earth s innards; by what right, and what for. It's a serious matter to monkey with so inn portant a thing as the earth s equilibrium. It's not only in bad taste, but uncon- itutional.
 It is possible, however. that Uncle Horace is mistaken about the cause. The offense may have been perpetrared by somebody on the outside. The census bureau may have done it by shifting the center of population. The adjournment of congress and President Taft's depart ure on bis swing around the circle may have caused Washington to tip up. Possibly the accumulation of Connecti- cuts heavy weight statesmen in Hart ford for the last nine months has done the mischief. But whatever the cause, all unprejudiced. right-minded people, regardless of party lines or religious be- liefs, will agree that the dislocation of the earth's equilibriu1fAis all wrong, and not to be tolerated for moment.
