When Pluck gets busy. Luck hu-ries

There are some people who ought
to keep their regulations on ice.
It doesn't take much religion to tell
other people how to get to Heaven.
Sometimes you can't tell whether
man really has courage or merely
gall.
A woman likes to think that no
woman is totally bad, and that no man
is even partially good.
A married woman never feels 80
much like a martyr as when she let's
her husband have his own way.
The average mans idea Of pleasure
is to buy something that doesn't agree
with him at price which cannot
afford.
Tact is a great thing. It enables a
man to put a nickle IN the collection
plate in such a way that everybody
else will think It a quarter.
A man is like a tree-looks pretty
straight on the whole, but has q lot
of crooked little branches that you
don't notice till you get up close to

TEXAS IS SECOND PLACE
IN ROAD BUILDING WORK
New York Only State that Lead
Texas in Spending Money on
the Public Highways.

Activities in road building in the
state of Texas last year took second
place in the United States, New York
being the only state that spent more
money for highways. In that state
$4,000 900 was expended in perma-
nent road building. Texas came sec
ond with s7,000,000 and this year
is planning to spend S15,000,000 in
road work. The report of highway
work in the various states in the
Union recently made public sets out
very clearly the fact that In the mat
ter of road building the south is
taking the lead Last year Georgia
spent $4,000 900 for road purposes,
Virginia, $3.50 900, North Carolina
100000. West Virginia s1,150,000
and other states similar amounts.
There is, however, significance in
the fact that Texas spent more money
for permanent highway work than
all the other southern states. In
no other state in the Union has per
manent road building taken such
thorough hold upon the people. The
farmer has taken to the automobile
as a means of rapid transit. This
emphasized the necessity of good
roads, and this with the advanced
valuation that comes to lands as the
result of serviceable roads have made
the farmers of the state unit for
permanent highway building. Hun

that S5 per cent of this population

RAILROAD WORK SHOWING
GREAT ACTIVITY IN TEXAS
A Company Recently Organized to
Build Line from San Antonio
to Rio Grandc Valley.

Railroad building is showing
greater activity in Texas this year
than at any time in the past decade.
Recently construction company
was organized with a paid up cash
capital of $4,000 to build a road
from San Antonio to the lower Rio
Grande Valley. Work on this line
A few days ago charter was filed
with the Secretary of State incorpo-
rating another construction company
with paid up capital stock of $780,
600 to build a line from Arkansas
Pass on the Gulf coast to Eagle Pass
on the Rio Grande river, a distance
of more than 200 miles. The ineor-
porators are A. w. Lilliendahl, of
Saltillo, Mexico; r. H. Valentine, of
Brooklyn, New York; Robert P.
Coon, of San ANTONIO. Texas; Lee
Frisbee, of Beeville, Texas; and AL
bert Tolle, of San Antonio, Texas.
The purpose of this company is to
build the road between the points
named through almost the entire
length of the fertile Nueces valley.
The officers have not been selected
but it is certain Mr.. Valentine Will
be named as president. Mr.. Lillien-
dahl has been working on the prop
osition many months and has sue
ceeded in interesting Mr.. Valentine
in financing the undertaking. Mr..
Valentine recently came into a for
tune appraised at 100000 and
has become convinced that Texas
is the place to put a part of this
sum into operation. He is the prin-
cipal shareholder in the construction
company Under the direction of
Lee Frisbee, who has also been at
work on the proposition for num-
Der of months, several surveys have
been made but it is not determined
yet which will be followed. The
road will pass through San Patricio
county on the Gulf coast, thence
through Bee, Live Oak, McMullen,
LaSalle, Dimmit and Maverick coun-
ties. This road will traverse one of
the most fertile belts in the world,
PARTICULARLY tHe NueceS VdiieS WHICH
will soon be rival in productiveness
for the now famous Lower Rio
Grande valley. In addition to the
agricultural land Of rare fertility
the road will pass directly east and
west through the vast Ignite coal
fields, natural gas, and oil country,
and near the famous kaoline beds
which exist in many places in the
territory named, and will tap the
famous coal fields at Eagle Pass. 1t
is hoped to have this line in opera
ton within eighteen months.

SHORT ON STATISTICS.

The April number of the bulletin
issued by the State Board of Health
complains of lack of cooperation in
gathering incarnation for compiling
mortuary statistics on the part of
doctors and city officials and regrets
its inability to build up the depart
ment to point of statistical eff
cheney where the federal govern
ment will recognize its tables.
Statistics are the best index to the
progress and development of a coun-
try but the state of Texas has made
very little effort to gather data of
any sort apparently leaving that i'm
portant field to Uncle Sam and the
Commercial Secretaries.

TEXAS BALL PLAYERS
ARE IN MUCH DEMAND.
A Texan May BE Found on Almost
Every Team in Big Leagues.

There was a time few years ago
when it was the custom to say TO a
ball player: In what part of Cleve-
land were you reared?" but times
have changed, and while Cleveland
stands strong in the base ball world,
Texas has more players in the var
ious leagues than any other state
in the Union While the youngsters
of this state have been chasing
steers and refractory calves over the
praries, they have also devoted
some time to ball playing and now
there is scarcely a club in this coun-
try that has not a Texan in its ros-

that is responsible for continued

the honors recently conferred upon
Randell were not in the nature of a
political preferment. This activity at
this time would indicate that while
the friends of the north Texas gen

of a personal compliment there are
others of a hereto persuasion who
feel very much disgruntled at the
turn affairs in congress have taken.

Mother is the sweetest word III

| the last at the Cross and the first

we go about our daily labors, if we
accomplish them with honor and
credit to ourselves, we always have
the smiles encouragement and plau-
dts of mother. If we meet with
misfortune or fall in error and sin,
she is the first to come to our res
cue with sympathy and love; in sick
ness she bathes our fcvered brow,
watches over us through the vigils
of the night and encourages us to
hope with mothers kiss; in death
she showers her hearts tears of love
upon us; in our wrong-doings she
forgcts our injustice to her and
pours out her soul of love sympathy,
We can not honor Mother too
much 1t was at her knee that we
learned the great principles of
| truth and justice.
| "The following written by a tramp
