The Most Trying of All Human
FxnapieuceS

Are those which attend bereaVe-
ment through death. SOrrowing
friends are at such times acutely
sensitive and naturally particular
as to the dignity and responsibility
of the final ministrations. There is
desire to proceed with due regard
for the social Importance of the de
parted, and at the same time with
the mOdesty and delicacy befitting
the solemn duties.
These conditions require sympa
thetic consideration on the part OF
the professional funeral director,
who must in addition to the init
mate service incident to sanitary
procedure in accordance with the
dictates of science and municipal
regulations so proceed with his ar
engagements so that there will be no
worry for the afflicted and no an
nOylng oversight or negligence dur
ing the services.
Mr.. G.. M. Messenger, manager OF
the Wellman Undertaking Company,
has reputation founded upon
many years of sympathetic and eff
ficient service, his management OF
ObsequieS is quietly methodlcal and
always in accordance with the
wishes of those who are directly in
tereSted.
Mr.. Messenger is ably assisted on
all calls of ladies and children by
his wife, who is an undertaken also,
and who is spoken of only in the
highest respect as a kind, sympa-
thetic and lovable little woman by
those who have come in contact
| with her.
Those having called Mr.. and Mrs.
Messenger when the shroud of death
| has fallen around loved one, have
found so much comfort i'll placing
the departed in their hands by
knowing they will receive kind,
thoughtful and sympathetic treat
ment even to the minuteSt detail.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Messenger are re
commended to the general public III
their hour of need by all members
of the clergy and medical profession
| of the city.

Judge Lovett said it is impossible to
finance railroad in Texas under the
existing conditions.
Every railroad should have the
right to issue bonds at par to cover
existing obligations,
1T is too late now to talk of the
validity OF existing bonds.
Independent railroads in Texas
cannot succeed. They face failure and
receivership with the present laws
RAILROAD rates are like the com
mon law o England They simply
came into existence through the ext
gencies of the situation.
Stocks, bonds and physical value
of railroad have nothing to do with
the rate schedule of the road
Past mismanagcment by individu-
ais at the head of railroad companies
has been exaggerated by the ambi.
tious politician, who has poisoned the
minds Of the people and secured the
enactment of the present statutes
THE provision for the forfeiture OF
railroad charters for petty and trivial
matters is d menace to the progress
OF Texas.
The present personal injury claim
provision is a scandal to the state and
should be remedied "a

Why Savings Banks are
Essential.

Because people having money to in
vest are often tempted by designing
persons to go into schemes which, while
promising large returns, usually bring
disaster
Probably there are no more shrewd
far-sighted, conservative investors of
money than successful life insurance
companies,
They employ expert men - men who
make the study Of investments their life
work; who pass upon all applications
or loans and investments; and it is a
fact which any one can verify by getting
the insurance companies reports, that
four or five per cent interest is all these
companies are able to make their loans
average.
Those schemers who would go to I'M
sophisticated women or inexperienced
men and tell them that they could just
as we'll get six per cent, as four, we'll
know that If their schemes were solid,
substantial and safe, they could borrow
money by the million from these lite in
surance companies.
The Lamole County Savings Bank
and Trust Company Of Hyde Park never
takes note paying over six per cent.
If any person brings paper to that
bank which will pay more than six per
cent, it turns it down, because it wants
no better evidence that it is dangerous
than the fact that it offers to pay more
than six per cent.
What is the result?
In its more than twenty three years of
existence, this bank has never lost dol
lar by poor note
!, "Safety rather than high rates OF in
terest is its motto; and, knowing this,
depostors, not only from Vermont, bu
from every State in the Uuion (excep
three) select the Hyde Park Bank Us a
place of deposit for their savings.
You can send yolr fu0ds there hy uail
with absolute safety, aud it Is perfedtiy
safe to send them eith.r 10 registered let
ter, postal money order, baek draft pei
sona check or express money order.
During tile entire existence OF the
Hyde Park Bank, not dollar sent to u
by mail has ever been lost
This bank pays toar per cent conf
pounded semi-annualy, and pays all
taxes.
If you want to know all about It's as
sets, liabilities, management, etc, ad-
dress letter to Carroll s. Page, Presl-
dent, or +. M. Culver, Treasurer Hyde
Park, Vermont, asking therefor, and
you will receive prompt reply.

Farmers! There is DANGER
i'm Foreign Seed
Potatoes

Large quantities of foreign grown
potatoes are being received in this coun-
try. Their fine appearance and reason
able cheapness, in comparison to home
grown, is a strong temptation for many
of our farmers to use them for seed.
Don't do it. In testing more than one
hundred [1O0] varieties our National
Department has proven tn at they do not
equal home grown seed as producers.
The Great Danger however is in intro
ducing several new diseases as vet un-
known here.
The most dreaded is the "Wart Dis
ease" Bulletin No. So of the Bureau
of Plant Industry and Farmers Bulletin
4S9 of the Department of Agriculture,
Washington, fully describes the same.
Spongosposa Scrap, Black Leg and leaf
Curl are others.
The danger from these diseases is not
limited to single season as soils once
infected remain unfit for potato culture
for many years.
SUMMARY
[1]-Foreign-grown potatoes should
under no circumstances be used for seed
potatoes.
T21-Such potatoes are not adapted
to our soils and climate and will not
return profitable yields.
[3]-Several serious diseases not now
prevalent in this country are almost GER
tain to be introduced if such stock is
used for seed.

Personal RecOIIections of Clara Barton
By HON. PORTER H. DALE
No. 3

On the following evening, Clara
Barton was the guest of honor at
the Weston School for Girls at
Roxbury. She met this occasion
with the same innate spirit of quiet
joyousness, insisting on sharing
her flowers with the girls, and
accepting humerously her election
as a member of the graduating
class. had previously accepted
an invitation to address the class,
and l sought to make clear to the
graduates the necessity of percep-
ton, helpfulness and fearlessness
in any work they wished to accom-
plish. l quote, in part, what l
then tried to condense into the
time of phase of Clara Barton's
life. You are fortunate in hav-
ing with you the very presence of
the one woman in America, and l
doubt not, the one woman living
to-day, whose clear perception and
tireless helpfulness and loving fear
lessness all best dillustrate the
spirit of your education. From
the first, she studied to perceive.
She was among the first to advocate
the teaching of this attribute to
young pupils to such extent that
she would use no books at all with
them. Because she learned it, her
course has always been plain to her
through all the unparalleled ways
along which she has led multitudes
bearing the torch into the primeval
gloom of hatred and ignorance and
suffering, and distributing love
and knowledge and joy. In con-
junction, with divine power she saw
this clearly beyond all others of
her time. She saw the necessity
for free schools when such an idea
was dense to others, and she went
into an old building at Borden
town, New Jersey, and established
there, with her own funds, free
school. She had only five or six
pupils, the prejudice was strong,
and people thought it strange she
could see no better than that; but
she was on the hilltop watching
the sun rise while they were in the
valley and the night. Soon the
school grew into two, the city
erected fine edifce and Borden
town had free schools with more
than five hundred pupils.
Of her helpfulness, especially to
other women. She was making
it clear that various kinds of de-
partment work at Washington
could be efficiently and honorably
performed by women, at a time
when men scoffed the idea, and
was herself holding an honorable
position there, when the war cloud
rose. Someone has said that moth
ing in the divine ordering of human
events is more beautiful than the
way in which she has taught
others to meet opportunity to do
noble work by the similar work
which she has. faithfully performed.
And she met the demands fearless
ly, even tho ugh they Slapped for
the time aim lost the last of her vital
energy.

One of the prominent railroad
men here remarked that it didn't
take much brains to run grocery,
and corner grocery should be an
easier proposition yet. Sure not.
All you have to do is to sell calf s
head cheese to one customer and
ox-tail soup to the next, and that
makes both ends meet.
