PLAYING FAIR.

A disposition to play fair has been a
shining characteristic of United States
officials in all dealings with Mexico AMI
Mexicans. Though responding promptly
to the request for protection mad. by Fe-
llx Diaz the naval officers refused him
the privilege of private conversation
with any of his compatripts. When some
of them wished to talk with him the Of
flcers promptly invited him 10 90 be
low. This meant that a plot against the
Mexican government could not be carried
on aboard an Ameri AN battle.hip In do
ing our duty by one party we had not
forgotten the duties we owe to the 9th.

While c0nfiding in his sense of honor
not to violate the hospitality accorded
to the guest. Admiral Fletcher was re-
solved to afford no reasonable grounds
for criticism.

BARDS AND TESTERS
THE ORCHARD-LANDS.

The Orchard-land of Long Ago!
o drowsy winds awake and blow
The snowy blossoms back to me.
Blow back along the grassy ways
OF truant feet and lift the haze
Of happy summer from the trees
That trail their ~tresses in the seas
OF grain that f oat and overflow
The orchard-lanGs of Long Ago!
Blow back the melody that slips
In lazy laughter from the lips
That marvel much if any kiss
Is sweeter than the apples is,
Blow back the twitter of the birds
The lisp, the litter and the words
OF merriment that found the shine
Of Summer time a glorious wine
That dreinched the leaves that loved it
In Orchard land OF Long Ago!
0 memory! alight and sing
Where rosy bellied pippins cling,
And golden rusSetS CLINT and CLEAN
AS in the old Arabian dream
The fruits of that enchanted tree
And drOwsy winds, awake and fan
Ny hood as when il Overran
A. heart ripe as the apples grow
In Orchard-lands of Long Ago!

EDUCATIONAL BULLETINS.

The Herald has received Bulletin No.
at Austin. The Bulletin deals with the
"ClassificatiOn Of Pub ic High Schools,
by the Department of Education" The
bulletin is both interesting and inform
ing. One interesting feature is a com
plcte list Of Texas high schools in the
class to which EACH belongs, first, sec
ond, third and of these ineligible to
classification. There is perhaps no rea-
son why any person in the state, teacher
parent or other taxpayer shotfDt not OBJ
tain a copy of this bulletin on applica-
ton to Superintendent Doughty, at Aus
tin. Every teacher should read it. as well
as all members of school boards: 1t may.
however, be assumed that most teachers
and most school boards are well inform
ed as to the educational programmes of
the state in connection with the public
school. In fact there are no inner mvs-
teries: no mysteries of any kind not cas-
lily mastered by any kind of average intel
ligenee. An hour spent in reading this
Bulletin No. 26 would throw "A world
VI liSHt OH Soint HldtltTS WHICH SUDull
be within the knowledge of all citizens
directly OF indirectly concerned in the
schools. The Herald should be sorry in
deed to encourage the average patron of
the schools to become an expert in school
matters so that he might be available to
render first aid to the perpleXed-among
school board and teachers in managing
the school. Nevertheless the people who
support the schools should have so he gen
eral knowledge of the educational pro
grammes of their day. For example, how
many people in BrOwnsvi le could stand
up, put their hands behind them and
answer without looking ut the book:
What is a graded school? What is
meant by classified high schools? How
many classes of high schools? How Is
the BrOwnsvil G High School ratcd?"
If You cannot answer these questions
can it be possible that YOU understand
the educational situation az 20 lour

Perhaps we should not be over senti
mental about the treatment accorded
Felix Diaz by his former political part
ner Huerta. If our condemnation of Hin
erta is just, for the share he had in tho
overthrow of Madero, it is neither loei
cal nor right to exonerate Diaz. 1t is
a maxim OF u lsw that a man is as.
sumed to intend the natural and ordin.
AIRY consequences of his own act. Howey.
er, there is no good reason to doubt that
Diaz acted wisely in leaving Mexico when
he did.

ALASKAN cETS NICE
 SUM OF MONEY

Juneau.- R. Simpson, whom the Washington State Su- preme Court decided last week is the real legatee to bequest of S6,O0O, given by M. J. Heney, ac- cording to the terms of his will, Go "R. H. Simpson" is well known in Alaska, where he lived for many years. He was employed for many years as a locomotive engineer on the White Pass. Af- terward he was deputiZed United states marshal at Skasway. He resigned this position after few years, and left for the westward. where he was employed on the Copper River X Northwestern railway as a division suprrin- tendent. He has been called "Ro- tary Bill' Simpson. The "Ro- tary" part of the name came from he fact that he operated a rotary snow blow on the Rocky moun- tain division of the Great North rrn, and afterward performed like services on the White Pass.
 The lawsuit that developed ov- or the Heney will resulted from the fact that a Richard II. Simp- son, whom 'Heney knew for many years, claimed the legacy for himself. It was proved by oral testimony that Heney had Hamil- ton R. Simpson, the former Skag- wayite, in his mind when he wrote his will. Heney and Simp- son were close personal friends and had been associates for many years. Hency always called Simp- son Bill" and had forgotten the manner in which he wore his ini- lials when he was talking to his lawyer about the disposition of his estate.
 Simpson is now ranching in Nevada.
 lIrney gave many of his form rr asSociates at Skagway and EurdOVa various sums of money running from $6,OOO to S25. .OO0.
 A dance for the benefit of the Catholic church will be held at Moose hall on Saturday. May 10. Tickets, including lunch, will b' si, and may be obtained from the cOmmittc, which will be an nOunccd later.

Little Thoughts That Help.

Just as an experiment., see how far you can walk in five minutes. IL will convince you that lot of your hurrying is needless.
 Many of us let slip a thousand opportunities by waiting for in spiration, forgetting that idleness is not inspiring. ''Inspiration comes to him who works"
 Don't be afraid to give compli- ments. Over-delicacy in this re- Spcrt is social handicap and a cause of much needless lack of popularity.
 Is it wise for sensitive natures To expose themselves to tragical plays and narrowing novels? They pay for the experience by suffer- ing a ghastly nervous exhaustion out of all proportion to the tenn porary thrill.
 Are you one of the people who hop up nervously when the train is nearing the station and stand until it stops? You think you arc saving a lot of time. whereas a ear cmplics itself in three quarters of minute.
 You have heard of 'ihr total dcpravity of inanilnale objects. They are not depraved.
 Wu blame them for our own fol!y--as when we pile dishes in reckless heaps that are doomed to tip over. to pour hot sauce into cut lglass. or when we get into a Irak room without trying tn re- member where the furniture is.
 Why are people so aware of their senSitivcness to the color of furniture and wall paper and so blind lo the effect of the color of artificial light on the feelings?
 Really, a mellow light and all agreeable lampshadc go far to- ward making the evening resi- ful and cheerful and cnZy.

St. Paul, May i.--The last range buffalo in South Dakota has been. killed, according to Emet Anderson, cattlenian, who owns a ranch at Rattlesnake Butte. The country there is still unfenced, giving them open range. About t4 years ago three wild buffaloes came from the north and were seen on the range. One of the cows had calf. That calf be- camd the ,onIy wild butfah in that part of the country, and it's mother and her two companions were killed by hunters. The buff falo was pursued often by cow boys, but she could Outrun the ileetcst horse. She was recently shot after a long chase.

ciaar Factory Headers.

: Workers in Havana cigar factories are aristocrats of labor. Without a mold or binder or any pattern to follow, each hand turns out fifty, scvcnty-five OF 100 cigars day, all identical in shape, size and weight. Working by the piece and highly paid, the cigarmaker insists on be- ing amused. His amusement takes the form of being read to aloud. At every cigar factory in Havana a render, engaged and paid by the hands themselves, occupies pulpit in the center of the room for some hours every day, regaling his audi ence with newspapers and novels. Some of these readers receive as
 much as $50 a week. - Chicago News. =
