Rolls of the immortal Orators Are Still Unc|ouded

~ Friday afternoons in school? DO
they still shatter the atmosphere with
such diabolical oratorical dynamics as
are created when the schoolboy nina

cite "Abou Ben Adhem?" is The
Helmet of Navarro" still held up as
the oriflamme of host of mailed bat
tle-axe artists upon the pleasant lands
OF France? Is Webster's reply dead!
Are the rolls of the immortal orators
of a silk-hat generation clouded over
with the dust Of an unappreciative
schoolboy generation? Or do they
declaim-as we used to-while that
grandest CT teachers, Charles Bedford
Young, looked on?
Because If they do-here's a piece
from a real orator. 1t fell from the

Amber is at the top notch of popu-

the fact that champagne is the popu,

thought Of in this country.
In point of fact, however, amber has
been slowly, but surely, winning pub

with a mere spark, this favor gradu
ally increased to a flame, then became
a blaze and now bids fair to finally
amount to a positive confiagration.

FOR THE SCHOOL CHILDREN
MOVE TO BUILD CEMENT eros
SINGS TO PREVENT POSSIBLE
ILLNESS CAUSED BR WET FEET.

Owing to the recent bad weather which
has been visiting Brownsville and re
sulting in muddy street crossings a large
number of the children who attend the
public school have found it impossible
TO attend the sessions.
1t is well known by the people of this
city that the streets which surround the
school building are in a very bad condi-
ton and that it is almost impossible to
cross WIN it rains AS d result Of this.
the children who do attend school i'll
this bad weather have to sit in the build
ing with damp feet, and the result in
many cases is either bad colds or even
more serious illness.
TO remedy this evil, some of our citi-
zens have undertaken to raise funds to
construct crossings over the streets near
the public school, by means of which the
children may come and 90 without being
forced to wade through mud. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost of the crossings.
which will be s in number, vii amount
to $500. The school board finds that it
cannot use funds for this kind Of work.
while the city at the present time is in
no condition to bear this expense.
Therefore a popular subscription is
being taken up. Those that have sub
scribed so far are the following:
BY Cash $3.50
First National Bank ............ $500
Merchants National Bank ....... $500
Brownsville Bank & Trust Co. y. $500
All subscriptions will be received bv

school board.
