BUYERS SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS.

The older people can remember
that about Is years ago there was a
great boom in Texas lands in this and
surrounding communities. Hundreds
of people made investments and a.
considerable number of citizens re-
moved to the "Lone Star" state and
took up holdings. We cannot recall,
at the present time, single individ-
ual who made any money on such in
vestment and the postoffice address of
more than rs per cent of the men who
located there at that time is not
now in Texas.
At the present time this movement
in Texas lands is being revived. Hi
nois, Iowa, Minnesota and other states
are being vigorously canvassed by
agents, who, in glowing terms, set
forth the advantages of the state and
as a result a considerable number of
people are making investments and
thinking of locating there.
The Herald is not protesting
against such action. We have our opin-
ion of the the judgment of men who
leave Minnesota to take UP farming
in Texas, but we are not going to
print it. We are not even going to
offer gratituous advice in the matter,
but we are going to presume to tell
prospective purchasers of Texas lands
a few things they ought to do before
investing.
We have been all over the state Of
Texas. There is some of the finest
and most fertile lands in the world in
that state, but we have never found
any agents selling these lands. If
you are thinking of investing in Texas
or any where else, do not purchase
until you have made careful, per-
sonal inspection of your purchase and
make certain that the property that is
being shown you is the property you
are buying. Look well to your titles.
Titles in Texas are more complicated
than in any other state in the union
owing to the peculiar conditions under
. which the state was admitted to the
union. Many a man thought he had
acquired title to property in Texas
and found that he had only purchased
a lawsuit. A simple warantee deed
is not sufficient. See that the title
is certified to and assured by reliable
title Insurance company.
Particular care should be exercised
in investing in irrigation propositions.
A good irrigation proposition is good
thing, but a poor one is the poorest
thing on earth. Hundreds Of thous-

The apathy which greeted the de-
struction of the Armenian, in Wash
ington governmental circles, was in
marked contrast to the frenzy that
broke loose when the Lusitania was
torpedoed. Possibly this may be due
to the fact that American millionaires
lost their lives on the Lusitania and
American mule drivers on the Ar
menian.

Charles Dickens. and her volume of verse, 'Infelicia," published in Lon don in 1867, was dedicated to the great novelist.
 Adah Menken died in Paris in 1858 at the age of thirty-three, and she sleeps the long sleep in a modest grave in the French capital. Another grave on the Troy-Albany road marks the last resting place of John C. Heen an, who was a native of Troy, N. Y. He was "only bruiser,' but a gentle man for all of that.
 The romance of the bruiser and the beauty was from the first doomed to bring disappointme ent and disillusion, for Heenan was a man of action, d born fighter, and Adah Menken was a dreamer and an idealist In her quest for the ideal she found only emptiness. Shortly before her death she wrote these ver3es:
 Visions of beauty, of light, and of
 love,
 Born in the soul of a dream, Lost like the phantom bird, under tn c
 dove,
 When she flies over tho stream. Leaves pallid, and bre, and ruddy:
 Dead fruits of the fugitive years; Some stained as with wien and made
 bloody,
 And some as with tears.

THE BEAUTY AND THE !, BRU|SER- ROMANCE
Tickle. Adah Ncnken 0Rce Wife Of
 Hetnan, "Iht BenIGa boy."
He's only a bruiser.'

The speaker was ayouth whose face expressed vacuity and vainglory, but 7 whose slender body was clad in all the sartorial embellishme that a
 smart" tailor of the '5Os could de- wise. He was seated at a small table in a flashy restaurant frequented Ivy the sporty and theatrical set. Across ! from him sat one of the most ravish- ing, flashing, dashing beauties that masculine eyes ever gazed upon. Her dark, glorious, expressive eyes were -thIlaed, in scarcely yelled admiration
 upon a tall handsome athletic man who had just entered the room. The
 newcomer was a veritable giant, for he stood we'll over six feet, but he car
 ried himself with an easy grace, and
 without trace of awkwardness.
 "A bruiser?' repeated the lady.
 "A pugilist?"
 The empty-faced youth nodded as senty, It was plain that his little soul was filled with peevishness, for he was maI!y in love with the little beauty who sat so near him, and yet was as distant as a star. That an other man, and that man profess stonal fighter, could arouse her inter- est, was to him gall and wormwoOd. The lady spoke again.
 "A bruiser? That makes him all th more interesting. Bring him to me- Reluctant. sulkly and petulant, the {gilded youth obeyed. A moment lat CT John Carmel Heenan, better known > to the fancy as "The Benicia Boy"
 was introduced to the lovely, charm ing, talented actress.

 It was hurried, impassioned, violent 1860 had been ushered in Adah Isaacs Me$ken had become Mrs. John C. Heenan, the wife of the famous . American pugilist who had just c1al- lenged Tom Savers. the champion of England, to do battle for the worlds title.
 The bruiser who thus captivated the heart of the women who had re- fused dozens of the richest young bloods of America was described by a college professor of that period as "a tall, grave, urbane gentlemen, with

 Exit the Pickle Adah.
 A dashing couple they must have made-but not for long. The bruiser soon left for England to prepare for his battle with Savers. Incidentally. the American was victorious. but was robbed of the worlds title which was rightfully his. The gifted Adah was as tickle as she was beautiful, and she soon tired of her stalwart fighter hus- band. Within three years she secured a divorce, and again returned to her destined task of breaking masculine hearts. The gallant "Benicia Boy.' defeated by Tom King in another bat tie for the worlds championship. de prived of his charming wife was for d time inconsolable. Time healed his wounds, however, and he married an, other actress, Sara Stevens, in Eng land.
 The whole career of Adah Jsaacs Menken was a mingling of folly and tragedy. A woman or rare intellect as
 
 Tickle and restless in love as in ev- erything. She went through her brief life like a flaming meteor, unsatisfied hearth ungry, seeking always for change.
 In her beautiful body mingled the blood of a French mother and a Span ish Jew father Dolores Adios Fuertes was the name she bore in her maiden days in her native city of New Orleans. At seven she went on the stage as a dancer, and at thirteen she became a full-fleged actress.
 From the first she was immensely popular, and her masculine victims doubtless numbered thousands. New Orleans hailed her as the Queen of the .,outh, and Havana crowned her "Queen of the Plaza"
 She was a merry widow," and twenty-four years old, when she met and married John C. Heenan. -Four years before she had become the bride of Alexander Isaacs Menken at Gal VcStc'> Texas and ever after she was gem known as Adah Isaacs Men ken. ter her first marriage she quit tn" stage and published a volume or really creditable verse, "Memo~- ies,' under the pen name of "Indig- ena."
 Her first dream of love was soon rudely shattered, and in 1858 it ended in the divorce courts. Adah returned to the stage, and in the intervals of her theatrical tours of the south stud jed sculpture in Cincinnati.
 Then came her romance with Heen- en. She went abroad with her hus- band, and, when they separated, she remained in Europe. Playing in the role of "Mazeppa," at Astley's thea ter in London, she broke the hearts of half the fast youths of the British me tropo1is. Men of title, and others in- ternationally celebrated as authors. poets, and artists, were in her train of admirers. In Paris she was the cen- ter around which Hooked many fam ous men. The elder Dumas was said to have been deeply attracted by her. She carried on a correspondence with

 Contrary to early reports, there coming golf season will be featured by at least one international tourna- ment. The entry of several of the more prominent of the English pro- fessi onaIs in the American open cham pionship at Baltursol, June 15 to IS is almost certain in case the English open, set for about the same period, is declared off on account of the war.
 The English golfing authorities have not as yet made a definite announce ment regarding their tournament. but close observers of the trend of the sport abroad are of the opinion that the open golf championship will be dropped for the season of 1915 as has been done with the Henley re- gatta, the Oxford bridge crew
