Home Only In Name.

A young teacher who has substitute
ed in the lower districts of the city
tells this little story of one of her pu-
pills:
There had been an entertainment ut
the school mt which the child had re
ccived a picture from the principal.
The next day the little girl appeared
with the picture under her arm. Quite
regretfully she laid it upon the teach
er'S desk.
MON says thank you for the pic
ture," she impaired, drawing up her
ragged little form. but we amt got
no wall to hang it on"

substitute. "Why, Molly, what do you
meanY
There's five families of us in our
room" Molly, explained careleSsly,
"and we live in the middle" -Phila-

THE woman who can be talked into

said a woman who holds a railroad
job ut Is my business to buy clothes
Tor people who have been injured on

pays all expenses, and when patients
are ready TO leave the hospital they
are provided with a complete set of
clothing, even TO rubber overshoes.
Unless the patients are unreasonable
In their demands we provide the kind
or clothes they ask for and no doubt
many OF them leave the hospital better
dressed than they have ever been In
their lives. Since those outfits have TO
be duplicated a good many times in
the course of the year it is obvious
that needless extravaganza cannot be
tolerated. The railroad insists upon
purchasing all supplies, and It is i'm
perative that the woman who does the
buying knows to thread the kind of
material she wants and what she
ought to pay for it."-New York Sun.

ROAD DRAG GROWING IN FAVOR.

A movement is on foot over in Ma
varro county to have the individual
farmers provide themselves with split
log drags and keep their sections Of
road dragged. This very thing has
been done in many sections of the
country where the drag has made a
reputation If such a plan could be
inaugurated in Anderson county We
would soon see very fine roads. The
county commissioners are beginning
to think mighty well of the drags. -

Elsewhere in this paper is an inter-
esting story reprinted from our neigh
Dor of Navasota. We suspect that the
true reason for putting the blame on
the widows is the same in this case as
it was in that of old Adam-masculine
cussedness. If the bachelors and wild
overs of Navasota were worth a cent
they would solve the problem by mar
rying those rich widows. If there are
not enough eligibles to go round
Bryan can make up the deficiency.
Our Commercial Club is ready to take
up the proposition any day.

ROUTE OF |NTERURBAN
EXTENSION SETTLED
Vote Was Unanimous in Favor of Lo-
eating Line on East Side Of n. G.
T. c. Railroad Track.

! One of the largest and most repre-
sentative assemblages of the business
element of Bryan gathered in mass
meeting in Carnegie hall Friday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock. The meeting was
in response to call of the board of
directors of the Commercial Club for
the purpose of deciding between the
two proposed routes for the interurban
extension. Every important business
interest in the city was represented.
The meeting was called to order at
1915 o'clock by President McInnis of
the Commercial Club, who stated the
object and presided during the pro
ceedings.
In response to an invitation Mr. o.
II. Gammil tersely stated two PROPOSE
tons: First, to extend the line from
its present terminus on South Regent
street westward on Anderson street to
the edge of the Houston e Texas Cen
trail right-of-way; thence along the line
between the right-of-way and Regent
street to Caldwell street; thence on
Caldwell street to Robinson street;
thence on Robinson street to Ursuline
avenue; thence on Ursuline avenue to
a terminus at Villa Maria Academy
The second proposition was to cross
the Houston & Texas Central track
on Anderson street, turn north on
Main street and stop at a terminus at
the north end without recrossing the
railroad. Mr.. Gammil very emphatic
ally expressed a preference for the
first proposition.
In order to bring the business prop
erly before the meeting, Capt. o. Il.
Saunders moved the adoption of the
first proposition, the motion also in
GLIDING the release of Mr. Gammil
from the obligation to build the line
on Main street at this time. The mo-
ton being seconded, the chair an
nounced the subject open for discus
sion. The discussion proved to be all
on the affirmative side. Prof. R. o.
Allen made an interesting talk set
ting forth the advantages the extern
sion would bring to Allen Academy.
When all who had anything to say
had spoken a vote was taken and it
was unanimous in favor of the motion
to adopt the first proposition.
Mr.. Gammil has already received an
outfit of mules, scrapers, etc, from
his grading camp in Louisiana and
work on the extension will begin as
soon as the necessary preliminary
can be made.
1t is gratifying to be assured that !
since the facts are all known there is |
no difference of opinion as to the wis

PUTTING THE BLAME
ON THE WIDOWS

Asked as to why it was that Nava
sofa did not seem to progress alons
certain directions, as some of hel
neighbors are doing, one of the mos
prominent business men and, by the
way, always the heaviest contributor
veptured the suggestion that it was
Lecause the big end of the money OF
Navasota is controlled by widows
while certain men who ought to be
public spirited, hang to their funds as
though they intend taking it into the
next world with them.
With all due respect to everybody
this is exactly the solution to our stag
nation. At the same time no one can
blame the widows who have been left
with some cash and large family cares
for being suspicious and wary. We are
unable to suggest a way out of such
difficulty unless the ladies can be
interested to the extent OF personal
investigation and study of the situa-
ton which confronts us. Where they
understand business dealings ii is not
at all hard to persuade them 10 make
an investment, and it is just possible
that they have not been properly in
vited to make Investigations.
1t certainly ought not to be hard for
them to understand the idea that pub
lie improvements are the very life of
every town and what is good for one
is good for the whole. We believe if
the right sort of committee, composed
of business men of unquestioned in
tegrity, could be induced to call upon
the ladies and offer explanation along
the line suggested above that very
little trouble would be experienced in
getting their assistance. But this ad-
vice must come from men who are
known to have made success of their
own business. No man will listen to
from the fellow who has
made no more of a success in life
than he, nor is it reasonable to sup
pose that a woman will. They are
usually cautious in money matters and
and very sensibly So
One thing is certain-the ladies of
who hold fat purses can
vastly increase their holdings by in
vestments properly placed, and when
ever the town prospers and improves
their interests will naturally increase
likewise. They are really standing in
their own light when they fail to APP
preciate this fact.
AS for those men of the city who
are known to always turn deaf ear
when public improvements are at
tempted, the writer pleads inability to
cope with the situation. All that can
be expected in that direction is that
the poor fellows may some day be
called hence and their holdings left
in the hands of more public spirited
citizens.
An even dozen will exhaust the real
" live men of Navasota-those who
ire always willing to go down into |
heir pockets and contribute to those |
matters of public interest. 1t is a |
shame, but it is fact, nevertheless. |

Palmolive's extraordinary quality. Oriental beau

nourish and guard their compilations. We have
