The WORD "ses."

Wat is the favorite word Of the
English language? The Germans have
their "schlag" and 'zug." which cover
many meanings. But we beat them In
the one word--not ''post"-which you
might suspect OF the supremacy of am
biguity--but set" One always thought
that post" was the word that meant
all things and nothing. The punster
should watch the word set" which
has achieved nearly seventy columns in
the new English dictionary. II is a
small word. but its meanings are al
most unlimited. You should set to
work on the word. which you use every
day In hundred senses And 1t would
be a pleasant, popular game to set
down the number of ways In which
you have used that word during the
day. set to partners you might call
it.-London Chronicle.

WHY DELAY THE WATER TOWERS

The Eagle believes that all possible
haste should be made in getting the
work started on the citys new water
tower. A bond issue of $4,000 for its
construction was voted by the people
on January Z, and we can see no rea-
son in the world why it should not
have been under way, or at least
ready for work to begin. True the
money is not available yet, but there
is no question about the money, and
there is not a manufacturer OF steel
towers in the country who would not
have been mighty glad to furnish the
material on the strength of the bond
issue.
The reason for all possible haste in
the construction of the tower is this:
At present Mr.. Lawler of the power
company is furnishing direct pressure
with his pumps, which is a fine serV'
ice. but he tells The Eagle that in
short time his large engine Will nave
to be cut out for a week, and perhaps
two weeks, to be thoroughly gone over
and rebabited. During this time
only the smaller engine will be IN
service and should anything happen TO
it the city would be at the mercy OF
the flames. A fire on Main street with
no water to combat it might cost more
than dozen towers.
The force of this argument may not
appeal to some, but this writer has
been through it and knows what II
means. On January Is, 1903, the saw
ings of nineteen years hard WORK
were swept away in thirty minutes
because of a breakdown in the ma
chinery of the old water company
There was no pump, no water in the
standpipe. and as a result the fremen
stood helpless and there was nothing
TO do but watch the building burn.
Let's not have another visitation OF
that kind, if it be possible to avoid II.
The Eagle has also been informed
that the erection of the tower would
reduce our insurance key rate III
cents. If this be true, it will not re-
uuire very many months for the peo-
nile to lose enough in insurance to pay
for the tower.
The cause of the delay, so we have
been informed by one Of the Alder.
men. is a division in the Council itself
over the question of an engineer to
superintend the construction OF the
tower One engineer proposed to &c
the work for 5000 and another offered
his services free. Some of the Alder
men want to give it to one and some
to the other, and there the matter
stands. The people did not elect the
members of the Council to play favor
ties or wrangIe among themselves
They elected them to transact the
peoples business and not fiddle wnil'

is the fact that they are going to
make sheets, bleach them and send
them out in bundles ready for the re-
tail trade. In this way they can sell
direct in Texas, and not have to ship
their product across the Mississippi
River to have it finished for the mar
ket and be required to pay an extra
freight rate.
Let's see what are some of the ad-
yantages of a cotton mill to town or
community. In the first place, If we
consider a 10000 spindle mill, max
ing on an average 9-oz. duck, employ
ment would be furnished for some two
hundred operatives, who would re-
ceive $4,000 every month. The most
of this sum would be spent with the
merchants OF the town, and it would
be coming in during all twelve months
of the year, and not all be turned
loose and spent during some three or
four months of the fall and winter, as
is the case of the money received
from the sale of the raw cotton. This
mill would consume approximately
5000 bales per year, which would net
the farmers some $4,000 clear profit
above what they would have received
from the same amount of cotton II
it had been shipped. for the mill can
we'll afford to pay one-quarter OF a
cent more per pound to insure its
delivery to the mill warehouse. This
is not a free-will Offering, for If they
allowed it to be shipped away they
would have to pay the freight on i
when it was returned, and henc,
would be the loser. The mill also fur

or seventy families that have to bu!
all of their produce. Others to prof
by the mills presence are the doctors
school teachers, and last but certain
ly not least, the real estate dealers
When you start an enterprise of thi
sort in town real estate is sure t
advance in value, it never fails, an
when you have one started it is no
nearly so hard to get others. Whe
Northern capitalists are lookin
around for a suitable location for
manufacturing plant of any kind the
almost invariably select some tow

SILHOUETTE IN
FOR CHANGE
More FuIInGSS Around HiDS
and Knees

New oYrk. Jan. 27-All kinds of
rumors are afloat as to the new sill
houette, which one or two of the lead
ing house are said to be starting. The
tight line round the hips and knees Of
coats is yielding to a straight fullness
Some coats gather at the waistline and
so descend to the knees, where often
they form point at the back.
The straight line of the Russian
blouse is ousting the shaped revers.
All this we owe to the Russian dane
ers, but it remains to be proved wheth-
er they will suit us. These coats are
carried out in satin, crepe satin and
crepe de chine, not in heavy stuffs. The
blouses have deep pink sashes from
waist to bust. Into this crossing folds
of tulle disappear back and front. The
sleeves are long. There is no collar
band, which is replaced by a Medici
collar, the neck left bare and very
often a band of fur surrounds the col
lar, the same on the wrist, with three
little tails falling over the hand.
Very small heads are now the fash.
ion. In fact, the whole outline of the
head is revealed by the dainty way in
which the hair is carried back from
the brow, caught in a kind of fold
with the ends turned in and carefully
pinned down. But usually there is
added on at the back a huge bun OF
coil, often double coil of hair. which
detracts from the beauty of the sill
houette; and, worse still, it has late
ly become the mode to fasten into thi.
long feather which sticks ou
straight down to the region of thu
shoulders. A less artistic ornamen
could scarcely be imagined, but there
it is; and, after all, it has one mega
tive good point, it in no way incol
veniences the neighbors of the wearer
whereas the feathers that sticl
straight out at the sides or up ca,
scarcely fail to do so. To sum up
coiffures are small, apart from theil
supplements; feathers are maddel
than ever, but less aggressive.
