TEXAS RAIL WAY CONSTRUCTION
4z4 Miles Built In 1913.

There were 1871 miles of new
railroad built in Texas during the
calendar year 1913, and this new
mileage was secured by raising bon.
uses Of approximately one million
dollars. according to data compiled
by the Texas Business Mems Asso-
cation. The new mileage was con,
structcd at cost of $40, 100000 but
it enhanced the value Of contiguous
property, according to customary es-
Inmates Approximately $2s,ooo,oco.
Railroads known as independent
lines are credited with the greater
part Of the new trachage. The San,
ia Fe and the Southern Pacific are
the only system companies thai

The mileage constructed during
the calendar year 1912 was 1886 anc

eouragement of heavy bonuses, the

THE LITTLE CORPORAL.

1t is related that Napoleon was
once badly defeated at Coblentz by
the Cossocks. After the battle he
was surrounded by enemies and
would have lost his life had he not
been saved by the presence of mind
of one of his soldiers, Corporal Spohn
Realizing that Napoleon's only
chance for life was in getting off the
battlefield uDrecognized, the corporal
begged the emperor to change hats
and horses with him. The change
was made ere the smoke of battle
had cleared away and Napoleon,
with his corporal's hat and mounted
on a poor steed, rode away unnotic-
ed, the Coesacks rowdine round the
corporal. Taking b m prisoner, they
led him in triumph to the Russian
general. There the mistake was
soon discovered and the corporals
bravery cost him his life
According to the Coblentz legend,
Napoleon, in remembrance OF
Spohn's self-sacrifice. always after
this preferred a corporal's uniform
to any other, and wore it so often
that his men came to speak of him
famitiarly as le petit corporal. The

lomllnson street, few mornings
ago when she put in sn appearance
after being vainly looked for allnight
by her friends and relatives. The
report became general that she had
become suddenly possessed of mel
ancfiolia, and when she returned
she looked into the face Of a girl
TREND, and staring vacantfy, said:
Now, see wf1a. you have done!"
The remark possessed a potent pa
.thos, terrible tragedyy ii1asmuch,
as the girl TREND had some time pre-
,viouslv jokingly teased Mrs. Stout
that her husband, who is knoWn as
faithful and loving, was going to see
another woman. Brooding over a
fear OF this faithlessness, she has
been seized by extreme hypocon-
dria. An especially sad feature of
the case is the children of whom
there are three. the youngest being
only an eight months old baby.
The father, who is a hardWorking.
laW-abiding citizen, works at the
Snow Lumber Company's plant.
The hope Of the social service de-
partment of the woman S club even
tually to place her in care Of the
State asylum at Morganten will
doubtless be long in realization as
that institution has some two. hun
dred applications for whom they
have no room. The Junior Order,

Old Dances kp Old Times.

In Edward Scott's Dancing In All
Ages are some curious details about
the dances of old England.
"Joan Sanderson' was a ''joliy
dance" in Mr., Scott's definition. for be-
fore it was ended each lady had kissed
all the gentlemen twice. and each man
had been equally enterprising. Mary
Stuart danced the Volta though
mot so high and so disposed1y' as
Elizabeth. In King Charles time peo-
pie danced '"Trenchmore." the ''Cush-
ion Dance "Omnium Gatherum and
''Hoite cum Toite.'
"All In Garden Green" Gathering

TreeIess Falkland Islands.

There are no trees in the Falkland
islands, consequently the country pre-
sents a bleakN appearance: In the
autumn the long grass. turning some
what grayish. imparts a disagreeable
and monotonous aspect to the hillside.
On the return of spring the ranchers
used to have a glorious time of it in
literally setting the camp on fire. This
was done by simply striking match
on the saddle pommel and casting it
into the midst of the withered grass.
No coaxing was needed, as the mate
rial was withered and dry as tinder.
Presently the mountain side would be
fringed with one long line of raging
flames and curling smoke. Thus was
the pasture renewed. Although no
trees grow in these islands, there is
ample evidence of the land having once
been thickly wooded.-Chambers' Jour-
nal

THE HIGH POINT SHOE REPAIR
SHOP.

The editor of The Review spent
an interesting half.hour tuesday at
the High Point Shoe, Repair Shop,
next door to the Rose Theater, and
cape bly, managed by Mr. Horace l..
Literal. We found the shop busy
turning out work for its rapidly in
creasing trade. A large machine 18
feet long is installed which is the
very kind of machine used in the
large factories for the work. 1t is a
modern machine in every respect
AID the only one that can stitch all
kinds of shoes satisfactorily. 1t is
specially adapted for sewed' work of
every description and no other ma
chine can touch it with a ten foot
D lie" to use favorite expires sion.
Beginning at the right of the long
machine is the stitching department.,
next trimming, then buf1ng and edge
setting, bottom and heel. finishing
and other attachments completely
finishing up the bottom of a shoe.
The machine is run by electricity
and seems almost human in itsoper-
ations. Why you can pull off your
shoe, wait IS minutes and Mr.. Lii
teral can sew you a pair Of ha f
soles on, place rubber heels in tip
top shape and send you on your
way rejoicing, wondering how it
could be done So quickly, and the
stitch used by the machine beats
that by hand as it is impossible for
it to pull loose. Nothing but the
best grade of leather and rubber is
used for bottoms and heels. and the
work is guaranteed, because Mr.. Lit
teral has behind him 20 years OF
experience, and he knows how.
Another distinctive feature is that
the High Point Repair Shop, sends
after and delivers your WORK il de-
sired, just use the phone and see
how well it works-No. SOS, North
State.
. AS before mentioned you will find
the shop, next door to the Rose
I 1heater, front entrance through

who knows how in charge. Its up
to you to get the best in workman

We must face and settle at once. 1t
is certainly worthy OF our best
thought and consideration, and a
full and frank expression from our
people is ',ery much desired by the
City Councl! before any definite
steps are taken. - 4
Being mindful of the fact that the
people have right to know what is
being planned Dy the Council of a
public nature, especially wherein the
whole city is interested, we are Civ
ing this meeting all the publicity
possible, so that no one may be able
to say that he did not have an op-
portunity to learn the facts at first
hand and to express himself on the
subject.

please be on time (the hour is eight
