THE SWEETS OF FRIENDSHIP.

He is a friend indeed, who comes
out in the storm to shake a hand
with us," remarked William Tell, in
Sheridan Knowles play. He is also
a friend indeed who, "unbeknownst"
to us signs our name to a telegram TO
a trust magnate asking help for us
to run for the senate. Such a friend
was Judge Splain of Pennsylvania,
and the beneficiary Of his friendship
was William Finn, manager of the
Roosevelt preconvention campaign in
that state. 1t is not clear that Mr..
ISplain got what he asked for, but y
is now possible for Mr.. Finn to
prove that he personally did not
send the telegram. 1t is such sub
lime acts of friendship that make up
a large part of the JOY of living.
In like manner, Colonel Roosevelt
has also known a few, true, brave
hearts ready to play the "unbe-
knownst' act for his benefit. There
was Penrose, for example. Penrose
got s10O,0 600 for the Colonel, in
1904, and never said a word about
it to his leader. Just kept mum
until the money was all gone and it
was time to get some more.
Let us devoutly hope that Mr..
Finn will prove more grateful than
the Colonel. If Penrose had but
served his God as he served his Col
onel he would not in his old age be
left to be publicly called by five OF
six different equivalents for the
shorter and uglier word.
Great is friendship.
Also ingratitude is sharper than
a s%erpent's tooth.

IT PAYS AT CORPUS CHRISTI.

Will a big tourist hotel pay at
Brownsville?
For answer, look to all the towns
all over the South where immense
tourist hotels are operated.
Are they profitable? Would
northern capital be seeking similar
investments at Texas towns, If they
were not profitable?
Take Corpus Christi, for example.
With two large tourist hotels one
just finished and one building at an
aggregate cost of over 5000, 900, the
news published in The Herald today
that Chicago capitalists have just
spent a million dollars for real es-
tate and will at once erect a 300
room tourist hotel there.
No one will accuse those Chicago
capitalist of being fools. They do
not throw away millions on invest
ments which do not promise fair
dividends.
Here we have Corpus Christi with
three immense homes for the wealthy
tourist class. Yet Brownsville has
not so far succeeded in launching
even one.
Let us take a lesson from the eff
fort and experience of other cities
and endeavor to obtain our share Of
the prosperity which these great
tourist homes are bringing to the
South everywhere. There is no place
in the Texas coast region which Of
fers greater opportunities for a
tourist hotel proposition than
Brownsville. Situated next door to
Mexico, with all the attractions
which such proximity to one OF the
most interesting of foreign countries
can lend, together with its other
natural advantages, including the
the Gulf OF Mexico almost at our
doors, and the whole thriving Low
er Rio Grande Valley to back the
town, Brownsville really offers the
greatest opening OF earth for the
erection of a palatial tourist hotel.
1t can be accomplished if our citi-
zens will but get together. lay aside
petty selfish considerations, adopt a
plan for the construction of the hotel.
and then work for il.

WORK THAT WON
Insurance Man Tells Of Rise from
Office Boy to High Position.

(By William Barton, in Chicago Tri-
bune.)
No matter how little school train
ing a young man has had he a bet
ter his knowledge and succeed in
business if he is willing to give up
pleasure and devote his spare time
to study.
That is the way | made good, and
there is no reason why others can
not do the same if they are only will

Through the aid of friends mother

the insurance company with which !
am now connected. For W. years |

go far. Although mother worked as
hard as her strength would allow, we
counldn't stave off poverty. So one
day | told my employer the circum-
stances at home and asked if ne
couldn't give me a better position
which would increase my salary?
You are rather young" he said,
"but how far did you go in SCHOOL,"
II had to leave school when ] was
in the sixth grade" | answered.
why, my dear boy he eXclaim-
ed, you haven't had a sufficient cdu-
cation to do the work required of
the young men employed here. But
you have always been willing to
learn. AS a reward for this | will add
a few odd jobs to your present work
and increase your salary 81.

From that day there was a great

Brownsville the polls were opened in
only two, can't understand it.
The cry has been that the farmers

are the only ones that did want the
the bond issue to carry, and that
Brownsville and San Benito did not
want It. Can some one offer an ex-
PLANTATION that will explain? The
bond issue in my mind meant muct
to Brownsville, but the apparent
lack of interest both in the number
OF votes cast, and the negligence OF
the officers in falling to open the
polling places is a blot upon the city
that can not be easily effaced."

AFTERMATH OF THE ELECTION

Wow! But there were a few mad
farmers in town yesterday. They
were outspoken, too. They were sore,
also. One farmer residing near West
Brownsville, was particularly mad
a. the small vote cast in Brownsville,
and the failure Of the powers in
charge to do their duty, and see that
all the precincts were open and
properly Differed.
Brownsville should build a wall
around ITSELF" he said. =" and make
sure hat no farmers can get inside
its gates. Brownsville merchants
don't want the farmers trade. II
they did they would make some at
tempt to assist us in getting to their
town.
GO down TO the express Office"
he continued. "and see the thousands
OF packages from the catalogue
houses that are labeled for local de-
livery. Yet the citidens of Browns
Vile made no effort to vote for the
good roads bonds.
If the catalogue houses do a big
business in Brownsville and the
vicinity now. you can imagine the
volume OF business they will do
when the Parcels post goes into eff
feet. If the people of Brownsville
w expect to be prosperous. they
rust attract trade, not drive ii away.
1t is huch easier TO sit down and

Another ruralite put the blame on
politics.
Nothing but politics." he de-
clared. Look at the vote, 1t will
convince anyone. But there will be
a county election next month. In
a week or so, the sleek politicians
will be about; they will come to see
us farmers; they will hint as to how
we should vote; they will pat US on
the back and nearly wiring our hands
off shaking them, they will be SO
glad to see us; maybe they will try
to explain away the lack of interest
in the bond election. Then my
chance will come. BY looking at the
returns, it is easy TO place your
finger on those responsible for the
defeat of the bond issue. That's my
cue. Good bye"

HITS EVERYTHING
FROM z PITCHERS

Boise, Idaho, June 2S.-Osborne
and Hewitt were throwing pushballs
yesterday afternoon, and the Irrigat-
ors fed their batting averages on
them like a farmer fattens hog
The scorer wore out three pencils and
piece of chalk keeping track of the
hits and runs. The gong rang until
1t was hoarse, and when the last hit
was hit the score stood 16 to ., with
Boise on the free silver end of the
fraction.
1t was the first beating the 1rrigat-
ors have ever administered to Os-
borne and they didn't stop with beat
ing him, but kept up the hitting un
til they chased him to the bench

at least one blow. Scott got four and
