WALL STREET SUPERSTITION.

Professional stock traders have been
reading the signs wrong. Almost all
the spectators are superstitious fell
lows. who believe in charms and
amulets. In their pockets they carry
lucky coins, a rabbits foot, a horse
chestnut, or something Of the kind.
One Wall street man, much enyied by
his companions, has a short piece of
a hangman's rope to cOnjure with.
Many OF the customers in the offices
are even more credulous than the pro-
fessional traders in their belief in
signs and omens.
There is a deep-seated tradition that
Tuesday is low day" in bull mar

CITIZENS BUILD BIG DAM IN DAY.

Krebs, Okla. Building 700 feet of
riprap dam averaging in height 20 to
80 feet without cent of expense was
the feat performed here today when
the entire town of Krebs turned out
and put in ten hours of hard labor for
the sake of their city. The dam was
built at the city reservoir. The city
had no money with which to do the
work. The dam was of vital impor-
lance to the city's water supply and
finally Mayor Seamans hit upon a
scheme to remedy the trouble. He is
sued proclamation calling upon the
citizens to turn out in force and build
the dam for the city. Every business
house In town was closed. Profes-
sional men aid aside their usual duties
for picks and shovels. Butchers, bak-
ers, restaurant men and the ladies pre-

who at one time numbered 200. II Is
estimated that $50 perch Of stone were

Ii has pleased God, in His wisdom
and goodness, to remove from time to

brother Walter A. Stewart, who died
in our midst May 7, 1911, and was
buried May s. with the honors of Ma
sonry by his brethren of Cedar Creek
and Brazos Union lodges. His illness
was of short duration; he was taken
sick on Saturday night and died on

the family. He was old and full of
days and, like a sheaf of ripe corn.

in Christ many years ago. He was
born in Harrisburg, Harris county.
Texas, August %, 1881. While young

SWAT THE FLY.


Swat the fly!
Spot the fly!
Let not the fly
Get by!
Whack the fly!
Crack the fly!
Attack the fly!
Or die,
The dirty rascal plants his feet
On filth, and then on what you eat;
He cakewalks through garbage can,
And lights at once on frying pan.
He gathers poison with his toes,
And leaves 1t on the baby's nose:
He's on the friendliest of terms
With all the death-dealing germs.
One dirty, nasty little fly
Can spoil whole days milk supply.
The pesky, buzzing, mean galoot
Exists but to befoul, pollute;
He isn't very hard to please
He's happy If he spreads disease.
Make friends, II you wish, of a rabld
dog,
A rattlesnake, or Shiny hog;
But every time you see fly
Biff him squarely in the eye.
Drat the fly!

that the matter hadn't been definitely
decided, but he thought the decision
which would be made within a few
weeks, would be to build. His ar
rangements with his tenants are such
that a start at building could be made
at an early date. the leases containing
clauses which allow cancellation upon
giving short notice There is a two

HER SPOILED Boy
WESTERN DRAMA.

Robert Burton was an only son and
his indulgent mother had spoiled him.
Bob was not all bad. but he was Woe
fully weak, and could not stick Ions
at any one task. One day he was dis
charged by the foreman of the crockery
store where he worked and appeared al
home Disguised and sullen. His
mother tried to comfort him, but the
boy was anxious to have his way and
announced his intention of going
west, where he thought there would
be better opportunities for him.
Poor Mrs. Burton, who was widow,
was horror stricken at the idea of let
ting her only child away from her; but
habit was too strong, and so she gave
in to Bobby in this, as in other things
She supplied him with money from
their meas gre store, and he arrived IN
the west and was fortunate enough to
secure work on a ranch. His idea of
his own Importance did not appeal to
the cowboys, however, and they hazed
him in pretty rough manner. Bob
left that job and a number of others,
and. since he was unpopular, he took
to drink.
One day, when all his money was
gone and he was desperate as he had
received no reply to the letter he had
written his mother for aid, he held up
the mail carrier and escaped with the
mail bag. The sheriff was soon on his
trail but Bob eluded him and sought
refuge in a dilapidated cabin where he
had a chance to open the letters he had
stolen.
He suddenly realized how no-account
he was and how little he deserved the
mother he had. Seized with sudden
determination, he gave himself up and
served his term in prison, after which
