& IL Of the children in Tabby-
"A land, kitty boys and kitty girls,
and pups. and everybody, in fact,
were going. with AIRS. Tabby 10 take
care OF them. out to the home Of the
bunnies in the wood There they were
going to have a glorious picninc.
They mended their clothing. and
took baths without being told. and
picked burrs out OF their fur. and did
everything that would make them neat
and clean Mrs. Hicks washed Fannie
and Toby in her Washtubs in the kitch-
en-, and Mrs. Tabby, with her five kitty
children, had to put the first one she
washed, Tessie, TO washing Binkie. or
she would not have been through yeti
Roly, the puppy girl, who lived alone
with her tat brother. Poly, had planned
for this very picnE for weeks. She
made herself a new hat. with a decOra-
tiOn on the side There was a round
thing Of chiffon, and some long feath-
ers- II was really a very becoming
bonnet
This puppy girl had a fault which
she did not seem able to conquer. She
was very vain, and spent many precious
moments, listening to herself as she
played on the piano, or watching her
self in the mirror as she swept a room.
Her tasks seemed longer and more
difficult than they really were, for she
spent such time over them
When the day came for the picnic
everyone was to meet at the TAP
by's house at o'clock
Roly and Poly got NJ early and did
all the Homework and washed the
pups and then cleaned themselves up
OF course, Poly. being a boy. with less
to put on in the way Of clothes. was
dressed first I'll just take walk"
he said. and so down toward Mrs
Tabby's' he said. And you had better
hurry. too, we start at nine sharp" he
added
All right" murmured Roly. more IN
terested in what she was doing than in
what her brother had said. He went
away, and she did not even know It.
Then she began TO dress She would
first put something on. then look in the
mirror. until the time had passed and
she did not know it. At last she put
on her bonnet Forgotten was the
time, the place, everything. but the
fact that she had at last a chance to
gaze at herself She rested her elbows
on the top Of her little bureau and
looked her fill, az the beautiful. sweep

son who doesn't believe it
Sometimes flattery is merely admin
lstered, like tea. for pOliteness' sake
But it is too useful to be wasted in that
way very often. Flattery is one OF
the finest anaesthetics in the world
Give a man enough Of it and you can
extract a favor from him. no matter
now large, without pain.
Flattery is composed Of 100 parts
imagination and one or less parts OF
truth There are two kinds Of tlat-
tery-the kind the recipient doesn't pc
Heve and the kind which confirms ms
suspicious about himself. The first
kind can be swallowed in unlimited
, quantities without serious results, but
the second kind is more dangerous than
opium or a chance to break into the
smart set Flattery that is believed
initiates the head, adde's the brain and
eats the Starch out Of the backbone.
Samson was the strongest man in the
world and used Philistines for indians
clubs. But Delilah fed him on flattery,
and To- the village policeman arrested
him single handed.
Flattery is an art and yields bigger
dividends than any other art The
amateur emits great cataracts Of fiat
terry and produces less with it than the
professional does with q single capsule
administered at the right spot. 1t is
foolish to spend a week praising a
mans looks when every word strength
ems him the in the suspicion that you
are the original forty liars in cOnven-
ton But this same man may believe
that by keeping off the opera stage he
gives CarusO a chance Therefore the
wise flatterer will speak kindly Of his

Mexicans, Ia Spanish In east Texas,

Ell PasO certainly made a hit with
the Democratic convention delegates"
said Tom Wood. In addition TO the
convention being one Of the most sue
cessful ever pulled off in the state,
! the delegates were delighted with the
diversions Of FL Paso and Juarez. L
have received a number Of letters from
friends Of mine in eastern and southern
Texas who were greatly pleased with
FL PasU It is very probable that quite
a number will return here in the fu-
ture, taking advantage Of any excur-
sion rate that may be put on by the
railroads. Many OF the delegates had
been TO Fl Paso before and were as
tOnished at the growth of the city"
Our High school graduates can en-
ter any Of the colleges that affiliate
with high schools without further ex-
animation" said principal A II.
Hughey Of the High school Although
this fact has been often mentioned and
printed. many people still have a mis-
informed idea that the FL Paso High
school is not affiliated with the big col
leges- Our pupils can enter and are
entering such universities and colleges
as Columbia university. New York
City: Leland Stanford university, Uni
versity Of Chicago University Of Cali

ity Of Texas, Wellesley. Vassar. Pratt

"WhirlWind week in the budget fund
campaign may be expected TO stir up
lots Of enthusiasm in FL Paso." said
Claiborne Adams. and will probably
result in the budget fund reaching the
required mark of $50. 900. The Adclub
and the Rotary club are two Organiza-
tons whose members are trimming
over with enthusiasm and optimism
and with these two clubs linked up
with the Chamber Of Commerce on a
week Of hustling the subscription list

short, there will be something in the
line Of waking the old town up and
further than adding TO the fund, lot

100 Years Ago Today

~ NE hundred years ago today the
British army disembarked on
the shore Of Maryland and be-
gan the advance on Washington
The army numbered. including some
marines, $500 men. with 200 sailors TO
drag the guns. General Ross was in
command For the defence OF Wash
ington, Gen. Winder HAD been as
signed a force of I6. 900 regulars. and
a levy of $4,000 militia had been or
dered- But the greater part of the
troops failed to materialiZe, and when
the British began their march they
were opposed only by raw militia.
and a few sailors and marines under
commodore Barney. The militia fled
from the field in the first engage
ment, but the sailors and marines
fought calamity against the British
soldiers. the most of whom were vet
Grams who had fought under Yelling
ton in the continental wars.

Our officers are instructed TO at all
times try and end disturbances OF the
peace and they never use their clubs
or guns only when II is absolutely
necessary for them to do so TO save
their lives or the lives Of others. There
has been little trouble experienced by
the officers in this respect in the past
and we hope that there will be little
in the future. If examples are not
made of these people and the officers
