A Surprise for Parcel Posters.

From the New York Sun.
So much has been said about the intrica-
cies Of the parcel post system which will
be put in operation Wednesday that its
simplicity will amaze those who have
been led to believe they are going to have
trouble in utilizing it's advantages. De-
scriptions of it's details are more cor .us-
ing than their application. The ma I who

he had package to mail will ce more
confused than the man who actually does
mail a package.

GOOD

Let our thoughts be good and noble,
Since they're fathers to u deeds;
See that none go forth to scatter
Sorrow where the pathway leads.
Do not send forth thoughts Of evil.
Casting shadows on life's way.
Each day brings its joys and sorrows
An we car not say them nay.
Brave then let US be to meet them,
Each and all with equal mind;
And Wen find that in the ending,
Clouds though dark were silver
lined.
Joy and grief come forth to meet us,
Always when we least expect;
Hand in hand we view the castles
Fate has built and fate has
wrecked.
But before we reach the ending
Of our various pathways mark;
we will see a bright light cleaning
Where before all was dark
Then well ask whence spring these
flowers,
Cross u path where thorns have
grown;
Comes the answer gently saying
From the thoughts which we have
sown.

THE SHIP CHANNEL.

The article which appears in The
Herald this morning concerning the
deep waterway between Brownsville
and the gulf, brings a great issue
to the front. No one can doubt that
we need ii. 1t is essential to the
ad aancement Of The entire Lower
Rio Grande Valley. All Of US realize
that.
Yet, as Mr.. Whitney, secretary Of
the Chamber of Commerce, very
pointedly and pertinently says, faith
that is not accompanied by appro-
pirate works is not exactly the kind
that removes mountains. Certainly
il is not the kind that digs canals.
II is most encouraging to know
that the matter has taken concrete
form, as shown in the report OF the
meeting Of the board Of directors Of
the Chamber Of Commerce, when a
plan submitted by the secretary was
considered and endorsed.
The matter should be pushed
theoretically by the entire Valley.
No one, not even the government,
is going to make us a present of a
ship channel to the gulf. Let us
Try the plan suggested, until we are
THOROUGHLY satisfied that we know
evefy element of the problem that
confronts us. The sum involved
may look large on paper, but COM
pared with the business that will re-
suit to the Valley if the enterprise
can be carried out, it will be a mere
trifle. !.

Welded IN HOUSTON
AT ONE O'CLOCK A. NJ.
Miss Laura Best of Bayou City Be
comes Bride of A. ]. Mccall. Pop
ular Kansas City Land Man.

Much to the surprise Of the 100
persons who were having a dinner
party at the Brazos hotel at ! o'clock
Monday morning, the strains Of the
"Lohengrin" wedding march were
sounded and a man in ministerial
garb made his appearance. Without
making any great ado about it, the
minister, who was Rev. W. S. Lock
hart, pastor of the First Christian
church of Houston, performed the
wedding ceremony. Miss Laura Best
Of Port Arthur and A. j.. Mccall Of
Kansas City, vice president and gen
eral manager Of the Star Land COM
pany Of that city, were the happy
bride and groom.
The 100 persons who were enjoy
ing the early morning dinner when
their attention was taken away from
the courses by the strains of the
wedding march were the guests of
the groom, and most of them were
returning with him in special cars
from Mission, Hidalgo county,
whittier homeseekers had been
whirled from the North by the com
pany represented by Mr.. Mccall.
The wedding was. Of course, a
prearranged affair between Miss Bes,
and Mr.. Mccall, but the other mem
bers Of the party were kept in the
dark until DR.. Lockhart made his ap-
%pearance amid the n Of gaiety.
The dinner should have been served
five hours earlier. In fact the tele-
graphic instructions that were sent
ahead to the Brazos by Mr.. Mccall
asked that the first course be served
at 9 p. m. The train from Browns
Vile, however, did not arrive until
after the midnight hour.
During the long delay the bride
waited in the hotel parlors. AS tht
delay grew longer and LANCER sht
grew more and more apprehensiye
wondering what could be keepin9
her fiance. About II o'clock a tele.
gram was received and it explained
the delay.
The best man was Secretary l.. H

AN INTERESTING TERM
OF DISTRICT COURT
Dockets for Spring Session. to Open
Here Monday, Indicate Several
Sensational Trials.

The spring term of district court,
which convenes here Monday, prom
Uses to be a very interesting one, on
both civil and criminal dockets.
In addition to the suits for office
and emolument which have been
filed against some Of the newly
elected city officials, the evidence in
at least three alleged murders will
be submitted to the grand jury.
AS all three OF these ase created
a great deal Of talk at the time the
events happened, the cases are, il
the grand jury returns indictments,
looked forward 10 with interest.
The latest and probably the most
sensational Of these cases is the one
in which a father and three brothers
are charged with killing heir daugh-
ter and sister, on The railroad tracks
near Combe station.
The other two cases are against
peace officers. The defendants in
these cases are Rangers Mercer and
MacAllister, charged with killing a
man at Harrington, and Deputy
Sheriff Jose Longoria and
ex-Ranger Milton, charged with
killing a boy during a gambling
house raid at the Ohio & Texas
sugar mill.
