COWBOYS WANTED
Flood Of Appeals For Husbands
Made to Gov. Of Texas.

Maidens from New York tt
Portland, Ore, and from Chicago
to Kansas City and st. Louis,
are begging for Texas COWBOYS
for husbands says a San Antonio
dispatch to the Philadelphia In
quirer. The mail of Gov. Camp
bell, of Austin, and of Postmas-
ter Stephens, of San Antonio, is
growing heavier daily with appli-
cations, many accompanied by
photographs, from women of all
ages, who want to live on the
plains, a care free and healthy
life, away from the convention
alities and superfcialities of the
great cities" SO great has be-
come this flood of requests that
several Texas cities are beginning
to sit up and take notice.
The Beaumont Chamber of
Commerce offers to furnish rice
free of charge, to shower Texas
brides; Justice of the Peace in
Van Zandt county offers to per-
form the marriage ceremony free
of charge to couples settling in
that county. The Texas Com
mercial Secretaries Association
has prepared data proving con-
clusively that a married couple
in Texas can live cheaper than
one single person, and someone
has jocularly said that now Cup
id should have smooth sailing in
the Lone Star State if someone
will furnish the wedding raiment.
BY correspondence with the San
Antonio postmaster, or the Gov
ernor of the State, any bachelors
in Texas can probably find their
aHinities easily.

EDUCATION IS POWER

We have often heard it sale
that education is power, but il
had never dawned upon our minc
until recently" how truthful
this saying is.
Education is the key that un.
locks the door of opportunities
for men and women, and with
out the education they are unable
to grasp the opportunities even
though they are presented by the
thousands. Noperson can secure
and hold their position long, that
is higher than their qualifications
call for, and as it is the amount
of education a person has that
qualities them for the various
positions, it is necessary that we
educate and qualify ourselves
for the positions in life we ex-
pect to fill, or we will never be
able to fill them.
What kind of position are you
educating yourself or children
for? Do you wish for them to
grow up in ignorance so they
will only be able to work as some
one else directs? Ordo you want
them to be qualified to attend
to any kind of business they may
happen to be interested in?
1t is the educated person that
climbs. Had Abraham Lincoln
been content to grow up in ig-
norance he probably would never
have have been known outside of
his immediate neighborhood1
Had James A. Garfield been con-
tent with only knowing how to
cipher and write his name no
doubt but what he would have |
followed the plow all his life. |
But they were not content to
grow up in ignorance and as
result of their discomfort, and
iesire for knowledge they were
able to climb from the position
,f raj l-splitter and plow-boy to
hat of Presidant of the United
States.
In this country and in this day
men are not born great, but
greatness is achieved by those
Who qualify themselves and
trive for it. |,
The men who hold positions
f honor in both our state and
ational governments, did not get {

the vein. judging from the di-
rection it runs where struck,
claims to have made a find, and
many are inclined to believe him.
Since the strike has been made
public it is almost impossible to
buy Ravia real estate for any
thing like reasonable prices.

No Real Shrinkage.

President Pearce and other
directors explained after the
meeting that the reduction of
the capital stock by one-half
does not represent any actual
shrinkage of values. The auth
orized issue of capital stock is
loo, 600 shares Of the par value
is $40. According to the resolu-
tion reducing the capital stock
the par value of each share is
now s., but each 50 share, with
the surplus which it represents.

$40 share was worth before the
insurance commissioners refused
to allow certain investments TO
be carried on the books as assets.

NEW LONDON, June 30.-Yale and
Harvard exchanged blow for blow in
the two morning races on the Thames
this morning Yale winning the Fresh

Harvard the four-oared race in a romp.
The outcome was altogether satisfac-
tory TO Yale, as II was the first time in
three years that she had tasted even
partial victory in the Thames scraps.
The Freshman race was somewhat
of a surprise, as Harvard sent out a
cub crew of recognized formidableness.
But the blue youngsters won with
something to spare. Yale started out
well in the four-oared race, but she
didn't have the brawu.
Yale's official time in the Fresh
mans race was 1853 and Harvard S,

The official time for the Varsity
fours was Harvard 1887 1-2; Yale

The time Of the morning races was

ditions the work of the oarsmen was
considered creditable. The wind blew
