Horse La Still klnd.

when it became a recognized fact
that the automobile was a practical
thing. the prediction was freely made
that the horse would pass away, but
we find today that there are more
horses in the United States than ever
before" remarked Alfred Watkins, an
old sea captain Of Norfolk, at the
Raleigh.
1T is true, we rarely see horses on
the streets Of our big cities. but there
are plenty OF them in the country, and
the farmer thinks Just as much of a
good horse now as he did in the old
days. So, too, l have observed that
our men Of wealth, who for time
took to the motor car, are coming
back to the fast trotter and roadster
There is nothing like real life when it
comes to sport, and an automobile is
an inanimate thing. Washington

RELIGIOUS CHANGE IN INDIA
Influence of the West Is Being Strong
iy Felt Throughout the
Country.

midas religious and social progress
is undergoing important reshapement
Caste Is loosening. Adherents Of Hin
duism are, divided at present into three
camps; the ceremonalists, or those
who in orthodox faith adhere to the
traditional rites of worship and sacrt
fee to the ancient gods; the reform
lists, who, holding to the main ten
cts of Hinduism, are breaking away
from caste and idolatry, and the edu'
Gated Hindus, whose views are being
highly colored by influences from the
West and whose religion, as far as any
one can perceive, is often little more
than a name.
Christianity is adding not less than
100000 converts during the past
year. but almost entirely from the low
est Hindu society, which has little In
fluence upon the educated commune
ties. The Indian tendency seems to be
to retain the main principles and
forms of Hinduism, but to revivify
them with the more generous and al
truistic spirit of Western religion. AS
one missionary teacher expressed It,
the future religion Of Indina will be
Christian in spirit, but with Hinduism
and the Indian sacred books as the
Old Observation-Disclosures Herald.

Iaokson,s Victory Over Indians.

JdSNoOu WV
One hundred years ago the desul'
tory warfare which Gen. Andrew Jack
son had waged against the Creek In
dams for some months eliminated in
the battle of Oakfuskas. The battle
continued for three days, and was
conducted with much ferocity on both
sides. Two hundred of the Indians
were slain, while of General Jack
sons force Is were killed and 70
wounded. The victory was particular
ly gratifying to General Jackson. Dur
ing the winter his troops had been
poorly provisioned and as a result
much dissatisfaction began to mani
fest itself. Many of the soldiers had
deserted and returned to their homes
in Tennessee. Those who were left,
half-starved, began to threaten mu'
tiny, and it required General Jackson's
greatest efforts to keep the insubordi'
mates down. The battle of Oakfuskas
revived the spirits of the army and
contributed in no small degree to the
winning of the decisive battle that
was soon to be fought at Horseshoe
Bend.

WILL UTILIZE COAL WASTE
Gigantic Central Power Plant 10 Now
Under Construction At
Hauto, Pa.

What is believed to be the largest
central power plant in any coal field
in the United States Is now being con-
structed by the Jehigh Navigation
Electric company, at Hauto, Pa.
AS is well known, the fine sizes Of
anthracite, such as buckwheat No. 3
and smaller, although containing a
high heat content, possess but little
present value at the mines. The fun
damental idea in building this power
plant at Hauto, says Coal Age, is to
convert this low-priced and, from the
monetary standpoint, comparatively
worthless fuel into commercially valu-
able electric current
A considerable proportion Of the
fuel mined in the country today is
used In the generation of electricity
Particularly during the past few years
the idea has been gaining force that II
is cheaper to manufacture power al
the mine and transmit it to the point
of application than 1t is to ship the
coal over an equal distance and there
convert it into electric energy In Q
small and isolated plant.
One of the unique features Of the
plant is the fact that the ashes from
the furnaces can be discharged direct
into air-dump ash cars Of standard
gauge and run into the building be
low the boiler room floor. The ex
pense of ash disposal is thus greatly
reduced.

TO CONTROL HOG CHOLERA.
Method OF Eradication Being Shown
BY A. and NJ. College at state
Fairs

Educational exhibits dealing with
the eradication and control of hog
cholera will be conducted at the lead
ing fairs OF Texas. DR.. w. II. G..
Lampe, working Jointly under the d.
rection OF the A. and NJ. College and
the United States department Of ag-
riculture as extension worker, has left
for Tyler, where he will represent
these two institutions at the East
Texas Fair.
DR.. Lampe will meet with the hog
raisers who attend these fairs and
will give them advice about dealing
with this disease. He will be at the
East Texas Fair and from there will
go to Fort Worth, where he will at
tend the Fat Stock Show. At the con-
clusion OF that show he will go to
Dallas for the State Fair and from
there to Waco to the Texas Cotton
Palace.
DR.. Lampe will give instructions and
demonstrations in the use Of hog
cholera serum in combating the dis
ease. This serum is manufactured
and distributed by the College and a
big supply is now on hand. Charts,
showing the losses in cholera, steps
to take in preventing the spread Of
the disease, and other valuable infor-
nation along these lines will be ex-
hibited by DR., Lampe. Symptoms by
which the farmer may detect the pres
ence of hog cholera in his herd will
also be illustrated. DR.. Lampe will
hold consultations with the hog grow
-ers with regards to other problems in
the care of their hogs.

New Job for Police.

The police commissioner has been
contemplating an addition TO the
duties OF the New York policeman. He
is TO Join the lamp lighter brigade and
incidentally save the city $4,000 a
year. The whole plan has been work
ed out now and the police are to be
let in on II.
Speaking OF this latest money saving
scheme, a member OF Mayor Mltchells
cabinet said: THE more useful things
the public see the police doing the
more they will appreciate them.
This having to think at dawn and
twilight that the lights must be at
tended to may be irksome in the be-
ginning. but we are quite certain the
police will get a sort of craving for
the diversion soon. This putting out
the lights at dawn and turning them
on again the next morning will be
come a splendid habit and become as
natural as winding the clock, putting
out the cat, placing the milk bottles
on the dumb waiter and locking the
cellar door.

Our bags would seem as full OF meal
As when we left at morn;
We had no fear the miller'd steal

And that Is small enough.
We scarcely get the hundredth fold

That men should Just do what they

On farms where men are free.

Cotton Crusader" and declares; II
have always held the thesis that
American women ought 10 take more
conscientious interest In the produc.
tive activities OF this country. We
American women have failed fright
fully In certain ways she continued
earnestly. First OF all. We do not
consider the quality OF the goods We
buy as We should, neither In cloth nor
In literature. nor In any other things
as we'll We are really. for the most
part. very unintelligent as buyers. II
a thing looks good we buy II without
knowing II II really Is good. We
should know what makes II good or
Inferior or poor II we would do our
duty as consumers toward keeping up
the quality.
Again. we have failed In patriotism.
We have loved imported things and
have not been proud OF American
products. This has reacted upon the
producers. who have not had the sup.
port and announcement OF the Ameri.
can people.
II don't believe In erecting a stone
wall and saying. No more importa'
tons. but | do believe that we ought
to have more interest in home pro-
ducts-to be eager to have them and
have them improved. We are unthink'
ing; we lack pride In the products OF
our own land. and that attitude does
not mark us as good patriots" con
cluded Miss Tarbell. Now is the
time for American women to discover
and exhibit that real patriotism. the
patriotism that means serving her
own land Loyalty and intelligently and
giving steady, proud. encouraging sup
port TO the industries OF the United

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

At a recent meeting OF the board
Of trustees the superintendent recon-
mended that new slate boards be fur
nished for Miss Ray Montgomery's
room, and It was so ordered. We are
hoping for their arrival and installa.
ton soon.
BY invitation Of DR.. Weaver, the
superintendent addressed the pupils OF
Bryan Baptist Academy last Tuesday
at the opening.
The enrolment at the Oak Grove
school has been increased by the en-
trance of three new pupils the past
week.
The victory of our second team In
the initial game Of the season, which
was played with an Allen Academy
team. Is a source OF considerable re-
joicing among our pupils. The score
was to in favor of our second
team.
All good teachers know the differ
ence between teaching and entertain.
ing. Is your child taught or enter
tanned?
Artie Johnson of Cameron is the
new teacher In the colored school.
That school starts off well this year.
Some people think that Bryan
should have a separate high school
building for the high school grades,
just as other cities Of some size have.
In school, nothing else will take the
place of simply getting down to work
and doing It, That is one thing to
bear in mind as we go along.
Seven West Side pupils were pro
NOTED to the seventh grade, and their
names and standings on which they
were promoted we're as follows Bess
Hines, &c. Eula B, Murray, 81; Ogret-
ia Showers, So; Marjorie Wagner, %;
Lena Wooten, 80; Butler Hickman,
n; Xavier Showers, 81; Willie Yak,
90. The grades given are the aver
| ages on the whole years work in the
West Side sixth grade last year In
that grade no one failed.
The new senior class has organized
with Lois Pipkin as president and
George r. Wicker as secretary. These
are good selections. In fact, there is
so much good material in that class
that any selections agreed upon would
be good ones.
II is a splendid scene to look over
the one hundred and thirty pupils
constituting the Bryan high school
when they are assembled in the audi
torium. No finer lot of young people
can be found anywhere, and II is no
wonder that their five teachers, Mr..
Simpson, Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Reese, Miss
Wellington and Miss Board, are in.
spired by the opportunity presented
by such a promising body Of high
school students. Bryan has high
school student body and high school
teaching force which ranks among the
best to be found anywhere.
