1914, pursuant to law, espouse those
progressive republican principles and

whom we represent are affiliated; the
principles of which Governor Byrne

prominently in the public mind for
many years. The progressive move

to the American people the right to

placed the public service corporations
under complete governmental control;
which compel corporate wealth to
bear its share of the burdens of gov

"THE LITTLE MILLIONAIRE"

The following was taken from the
Waco Times-Herald of February /:
1t makes no difference whether p.
T. Barnum, that grand old man of
our kidhood DAYS, spent last evening
gently strummiHg the golden strings
of a celestial harp, in that wonderful
place away up yonder in the clouds,
where Or. Knickerbocker is so anX-
ious for all of us TO spend our eternal
vacations, or whether he was bsppily
engaged in pitching an asbestos tent
in that other popular place away down
yonder, presided over so capably by
the gentleman with the vertebrate
extension, he surely must have smiled
with Joy contentment and envy, as
he listened to the only Bert Leigh, the
prince of happy funny men, recite
"Barnum Had the Right Idea" in the
first act of THE Little Millionaire" at
the Auditorium last night. 1t was
great. and well worth the price of the
whole show. Leigh is one of the clev-
crest men on the stage. Henry E.
DiXey, and many of the other old
timers, in their palmiest days, we're
never in it with the clever Leigh. He
is strictly in a class all his own. Waco
people are always glad to welcome a
man Of his calibre and ability.
The fact that "The Little Million
aire" was written by George Cohan
is, of course, sufficient evidence that
it is out of the ordinary. 1t was
greatly appreciated by large audiences
yesterday. There were some good
performers in the company besides
Leigh. Miss Hazele Burgess as the
French maid was excellent. She
speaks volumes at both ends. Her
/ tongue and her feet are the nimblest
things that have struck Waco in many
day Eugene Phelps as the rich
papa Of the Millionaire Kid was very
! satisfactory. Miss Dot Karroll in the
role of Bill Castigan's ex-wife made
hit with the crowd She possesses
voice that is cross between a dys.
peptic buzz-saw and a loose shutter,
but she gets the glad hand as a re-
suit OF it. Frank Phelps, the skinny
young man who assayed the role OF
the Little Millionaire. is a graceful
| dancer.
Mr.. Leigh and his excellent com.
pany will appear at the Colonial Thea
| ire in this city tonight.

Texas Likely to Get $4,000 Of the
Appropriation-H. A. kipp viii

Washington, Feb. 20-Practical re-
suits for Texas as the direct result
OF the visit to Washington Of State
Reclamation Engineer Stiles was the
outcome of an important conference
yesterday at the Department Of Agri-
culture. Mr.. Stiles conferred with
Secretary Houston, Director OF Expert

Drainage Investigations McCrory, and
was assured of every assistance on
the future drainage work in Texas.
Enthusiastic over the attitude of the
department, DR.. Stiles said last night:
May Get $4,000 for Work.
THE Department of Agriculture
will allot to Texas approximately ID
per cetn of their appropriation for
drainage surveys, which may be in the
neighborhood OF $4,000, and will con-
tinue the same arrangement perfected
some time ago whereby they will
make surveys and other studies of the
drainage of the overwet lands in the
coast country, from Houston down the
coast.

engineer. will continue indefinitely

priation will relieve the State of the
problems of drainage.
Protection of Valleys.
"The attention of the State Recla-

be directed more especially toward the

THE LoNEsoMENEss
OF A GREAT CITY

In the March Woman's Home Com
panion, contributor tells the follow
ing little story illustrative OF the lone
someness OF a great city:
at was somewhere near eight In
the evening and the little Italian res.
taurant was thronged by people who
knew where to find comfortable
meal at a reasonable price. A late
conner. surveying the tables, discover
ed one at which there was vacant
place.
"May sit here" he inquired OF
the man at the opposite side, a young
fellow who was waiting to be served.
The boyish face lighted up and the
answer came cheerily, Indeed you
may, If you'll only talk
"a certain usefulness was in the
smile that accompanied the words.
The lad was lonely and away from
home, and this dining by himself in
the solitude that is deepest when one
is in a crowd and every face IS strange
had suddenly gripped him ineits clutch
and made him homesick. Up-country
among the hills supper had been
cleared away by this time. Mother
had taken out her sewing, father was
unfolding the weekly paper and little
brother was drawing a map to be
shown to the teacher in the morning
II you'll only talk. He caught at the
chance of hearing somebody address
him in a friendly human way, and
the genial manner OF the man who
promptly opened conversation as he
unfolded his napkin set him at ease
and made him happy.
There are numbers of people all
around us who have this natural long
ing to be brought into an inner circle
of friendliness and who are not sc
ready as the lonely boy to ask for
what they want. Would it not be well
IL some of us were trifle less shy in
expressing sympathy with the soil
tary, and instead of always wrapping
ourselves in a mantle of reserve
might we not occasionally give a
greeting to a stranger on the road?

WHY DO FAT WOMEN TRY
TO LOOK LIKE SYlPHS?

Grace Margaret Gould, fashion edi-
tor of the Woman's Home Companion,
writes a wonderfully sensible and
practical and yet highly entertaining
article entitled Imitation Versus In
dividualitv" in the March issue of that
periodical. She makes the point that
individuality is really what counts in
dress and in charm. It is being your
self at your best not striving to copy
what is best in someone entirely diff
ferent. She writes in part
Every blessed one of us always
wants to look exactly as we never can
look, so we initiate some other woman,
and invariably she is our direct OPP
positc.
There is the fat woman, for in
stance, who is always yearning to be
a sylph. She deceives herself into
believing that she will actually look
like a sylph If she only wears the
same sort of clothes that her sylph-
like neighbor wears. The trouble is
that no matter how hard she tries
or what agonies she enduroS, she is
never able to make anything out OF
herself but a fat sylph. And the
irony of this is too cruel to dwell
uponl
Then there is the lean woman
whose arms resemble broom handles
and whose scrawny neck is never fit
to be seen. She feels that in a big
measure it is the dress that makes
her plump friend across the way look
so attractive and seem so CHEEKY, so
she decides to copy the dress, with
the expectation of gaining her neigh
boris charm.
"The dump woman. too, has hone
that she can look taller and really

JAMES COOPER DEAD
Pioneer Citizen of the County Called
Suddenly by Heart Trouble.

At O'Clock yesterday afternoon
Mr.. James Cooper of Rock Prairie,
one of the most widely known citizens
of Brazos County, as we'll as being
one OF the pioneers of this section,
was stricken suddenly with heart fail
ure and died in a short time. The ter
rible news was phoned into the city
and the entire community was shock
ed by its terribleness and suddenness.
He was in town, apparently in per
feet health, only the day before, and
it was hard to believe that so soon
he was numbered among the dead.
The funeral was held from his home
at 10 o'clock this morning with~inter-
ment following at this afternoon at

Mr.. Cooper was a member, attended
the funeral in a body

have a commanding air of style II she
only follows the dress example Of her
tall, stately, stylish sister.
1T is the same way with the dowdy
woman, the clumsy woman, the home
ly woman, the long-throat giraffe-like
woman-they all reason alike.
Each one forgets that while she
may copy a dress, she cannot copy the
personality that gives that dress its
fit and grace and style. She does not
stop to reason out that to initiate is
to be intellectually lazy. It Is letting
that stylish woman she so envies and
admires do her thinking for her, and
the result OF that is disastrous. That
selfsame stylish woman is not think
ing for her, but for herself"
