Hidden 'Twixt the Lines

One of the prettiest popular songs
written in long time is the one just
out, called "My Little Girl" There is
scarcely any meaning to the title. but
the music is remarkably catchy. The
song tells the story of a country lad
who writes letter to his sweetheart
in the city, as follows:
write these lines to tell you I'm sorry
left home.
Because I'm all alone;
Why did you make me roam?
Some one put the jinx on me- I'm up
against 1t strong;
I'm out of work, and so | wrote song !;
The first verse, dear, is very sweet be-
cause it speaks of you;
I'm sending you the chorus; read 1t

And here follows the chorus which
has very catchy tune:

As to Dry Plank in the Party Platforms

The following letter from of friends to
another friend touches an important phase of policy
and for this reason we are giving it to the public:
If the parties should put wet panks in their platforms
would feel bound by such action On the other hand
if they should put in dry planks Congressman from
districts would pay attention them If the attempt
made and fails the congressional candidates from the
close districts would the action of his party jusca
ton for his opposition and would be accepted usca
ton by very many of natural constituents.
The idea that independent should be
begun the parties should put dry pank in their
platforms wrong and dangerous policy, be-
such independent movement should be started
it would divide inevitably the better element only in
the presidential election but also in the congressional
tests and permit the vets to triumph they did in

tnre article written for the Houston

As an example, the town of Dem

10 miles from III Paso, is following
tut that method and seems not in the
least disturbed at the cry of hard
times. Only last week Valentine

method pursued by the towns. For
instance, take a. \. Spalding, the

him large comprehensive pcrspcr-
tive map, when he ut once began lay
ing his land oil in farms and Town
sites Beautiful, planting trees by the
thousands and laying of streets and
parks, dotted lhickly with shade
trees. While ON the farm property
he is preparing the soil and installing
any number of pumps. making the
farmer independent of rainfall, ns
they have an abundance of under
ground water there. Yet, Mr.. Spald-
ing will make no effort to dispose of
this land until il is rood and ready
for the farmer 10 go on the land and

fore putting il on the market. Then
cguipping themselves with several ni
