lit is you sworn duty to bring in
verdict OF guilty, etc"

Is.tion, as the evidence on each side
lis equally strong and probable.
The evidence for the defendant is
about as strong as the evidence for
the state.

Instinct In Birds.

In the stormy part Of the year a
steamer encountered rough weather,
and, as often happens at such times,
many sea gulls lowered near the ship
and even came on board. One allowed
itself to be caught, and it was found
that it had a fish zone stuck in the eye
in such n position as not absolutely to
destroy the sight, but penetrating an
inch into the flesh Of the bird and pro-
jecting an inch and a half. 1t might
have had n fight with a fish or got
transfXed seeking its prey. The doc
tor of the ship took the bird. extracted
the bone. applied a soothing remedy TO
the wound and let it go. 1t flew away.

THE TEXAS FARMER.

The 799 representative farmers Of
Texas who attended the Farmers
Congress at College Station last
week are indeed the men who are
doing things for Texas. These men
are brainy and Industrious They
are the real empire builders Of the
state. They not only study the soil
and climatic problems as applied to
agriculture, but make practical de-
monstrations in order to prove the
solutions which they effect.
The high order Of intelligence
which distinguishes this great body
of Texas farmers bodies well for the
future Of Texas. Every thinking
man realizes the vastly impor-
tant part which the farm plays in
the financial and commercial well
fare Of the state. With such a pro-
gressive farming population as this
state is acquiring rapidly, the agri-
cultural interests are assured.
These men and those composing the
many bodies of Texas farmers and
fruit growers, such for instance, as
me South Texas Gardeners, are
rapidly eleyating the standard Of the
farm. No one ever thinks Of apply
ing to such men as these such rude
epithets as %"hayseed" 0 "rubes, Y
which some mistaken joke makers
still imagine are the proper d~esiSna-
ton for farmers.
Texas farmers today, as a class,
are progressive and alive, they are
as keen and alert as the average
Db~usiness man. They are making
country life interesting, satisfying
and attractive, and, as they grow
and progress. the state grows and
progresses in lige proportion.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

AS announced in our news col
umns today, Mr.. McCrory, Uncle
Sans new chief drainage engineer,
win be a visitor at the South Texas
Gardens next Monday and Tuesday.
Coupled with the announcement is
the very timely suggestion by Mr..
Hall. drainage engineer at the Car
dens, that those of our citizens who
are interested in drainage matters
should meet Mr.. McCrory while he
is here.
It would be wen ror our citizens
to adopt this suggestion. The
Chamber of Commerce should take
advantage of this opportunity % OBJ
tain information in regard to drain
age. All of US recognize the fact
that drainage is Of the utmost i'm
portance to the Lower Rio Grande
Valley. 1t is also of importance that
Mr.. McCrory may receive the most
favorable Impression concerning this
country. His report will be pub
lished, and its nature may affect the
DEVELOPMENT Of the Valley either ia
vorably or otherwise.
Let us therefore, not only obtain
such drainage lore as may be obtain
able from Mr.. McCrory, but also
take pains to see that he learns all
about the great drainage projects
now under construction in this sec
ton, and the success that has attend
ed such efforts at drainage as have
been made here alredy.

A passport TO the north pole was is
sued some years ago by the govcrnoS
Of the province of Tobolsk. which
stretches along the Russian shores of
the Arctic ocean. The official was APP
preached by two men who had been
engaged 10 proceed TO the north with
an English expedition then fitting out.
Their petition was for a passport to
the pole itself. but the governor point
ed out that the pole was as likely TO
be in their home province as In any
other. that It was extremely unlikely
they would reach il and that if they
did there We're 10 police there TO ex-
anime their credentials. At last. how
ever. TO satisfy them he ordered the
issue OF a document allowing them to
pass without let or hindrance to the
