DREAM GREAT DREAMS.
And Then strive Your Utmost to Make
Your Dreams Come True.

And Then strive Your Utmost to Make
Your Dreams Come True.
To turn the face in the right direc-
ton and then to travel on is unques-
tionably the essential secret of all
achievement. There are. however, GER
tain facts as well as certain inner
forces common to lis all that can be
used as helps along the way.
In a recent little poem BY Edwin
Markham we find these lines:
Great it is to believe the dream
When we stand in youth by the starry
stream
But greater thing is TO fight life through
And say at the end. 1.-THE dream is true. :
Whether the dream, which may be
used as another term for ones ideals,
does come true depends primarily upon
the self. The intrepid and the brave
hearted, moreover, actualize more OF
their ambitions or ideals than do the
faint hearted or the vacillating. 1t was
Goethe who said:
Are you in earnest? Seize this very min
ute;
What you can do or dream you can. be
gin 1t.
Boldness has genius. power and magic
In 1t
Only begin and then the mind grows
heated;
Begin and then the work viii be com
pleted.
Life. or rather life in continually
expanding and achieving form, is, aft
er all, business, and they who are
the most in earnest get from 1t the
most and in turn give the most back

OUR SUPREME COURT.

There Was a "Leak" There Once, but
II Was Quickly Stopped.
"Yes; it Is true that supreme court
decisions leaked in the old days." re-
marked an old time broker. II remem-
Der certain important suit about
twenty years ago. 1t was the great
case of those days, as big In its way
as the Standard Oil and Tobacco suits
of the present. A week before the de-
cision came down the sen of one Of the
judges came into my Office, and told
him that Of the nine judges one would
decide so and so, one would refrain
from any opinion, and the remaining
seven would make decision so and
so.'
"He smiled and went away. Shortly
after the decision was rendered and
the matter had turned out as | had
foretold this young man came back to
the office, He said his father was
greatly worried over the leak in the
court and asked me II could help
them trace the source Of my informa-
ton. l told him what l knew-that
one of the official supreme court ste
negrophers had been selling advance
copies of the decisions to very prom
inent broker Of that time What this
broker paid for his information |. Of
course, do not know, but 1t was estab'
lished that was correct as to where
the weak spot was in the court.
"Since then every decision by the
supreme court has been written in long
hand lone copy, thus making it abso
lutely impossible for any outsider te
get the news in advance. This ex
plains in part why It now takes sc
long for the court to announce its deci
sions."-Wall Street Journal.

Again Behind The Bars

John Fox is in "durance vile"
again.
1t will be remembered that Fox
was fined 500 and costs, q few weeks
ago, on the charge of "high grading"
from the radium mines of Riland,
Caywood & Co., located in the Sleepy
Cat district. Being unable to pay his
fine Fox was thrown into the county
bastile, but later, at the instigation
of some of our citizens, was given his
liberty on condition that he honor
some other section of this mundane
sphere with his presence.
Having violated his parole, and
evidently believing we are all related
to the original Mr.. f. Y. Mark, he
returned to town about midweek,
when Under Sheriff Eller Jailed him.
II Fox could only realize that the
habit of keeping the mouth closed is
nearly as valuable as radium, he
might save himself from lots Of
trouble.

stead of travelling fifty and sixty miles
per hour, they would do well TO make
ten.
II Is just as necessary for farmer
to have a good road over which he
hauls his produce as 1t is for a railroad
to have a good track to pull their
trains over.
Bad roads make travelling expensive
and the worse the roads the greater
the cost of hauling our crops to mar.
ket.
There are numerous roads in Brazos
County over which a good team can
scarcely pull 1000 pounds of seed to
Bryan. With first class roads the
same team could pull from two to
three thousand pounds.
The usual price per day for hauling
is four dollars, making cost of eight
dollars per ton TO market our cotton
seed. At a price OF twelve dollars per
ton We have net profit of four dol
lars. With good roads our profit
would be eight dollars per ton, which
is twice the present profit,
With good roads we would save -four
dollars per ton in hauling. Some few
who live closer TO market would save
less, but Others living longer distances
from market would save more, so the
average is about four dollars per ton
An average yield of cottonseed In
Brazos County is 1900 tons yearly
At four dollars per ton is amounts to
SOS 900 per year saved to Brazos Coun
ty farmers by having good roads. The
northern and eastern ends OF the coun
ty have timber in abundance. The
lands are being cleared of timber and
put In cultivation. There are thou
sands Of acres that have from ten tc
forty cords OF wood per acre. The
wood is worth from three to five dol
lars per cord on the market. For the
reason of bad roads it is being burned
and destroyed. The farmer loses the
value of his timber and the citizens
of Bryan often suffer wood panics, al
because of no roads There is esti
mated to be $4,000 acres of timber in
the county, averaging fifteen cords OF
wood per acre, making 100000 cords
