The PRESIDENT: DID you vote with

Mr.. COLE: did. I do this simply BY
request I have no personal interest in
the matter whatever. but I was asked by
those who are endeavoring to carry it to

compromise between tho two houses

leave this as it is at the present time,

Mr.. PEACOCK of washington: Mr..

threshed out yesterday in the Senate and
it was indefinitely postponed, and went

We hope that the Senate will not vote to

of Holsters at this session Of the Legisla-

any more about Holsters. We come pref

1t is too late now to think Of making

Therefore I am opposed to it.

A Man Who "Died"

Once upon a time there lived
man who wondered what his
neighbors thought about him.
In order to find out, he framed
UP a deal with his wife and pre-
tended to die, so the story goes.
The undertaken was taken
into the secret and he laid the
body out in a coffin and opened
the lid in order that neighborS
might take a farewell look at the
late lamented.
Scores came to sit in the par
lor and talk in low tones about
the deceased. Some talked in
low tones about politics and the
crop prospect.
Meanwhile the dead" man
listened with both ears.
A thin, hatchet- faced old maid
who loved gossip as a hog loves
the other kind of slop, and who
had for years peddled slander
about the man who lay in the
coffin, wiped away an imaginary
tear and simpered to the wife: 81
can SYmpathize with you IN this
sad hour, dear sister. The dear
departed was such a sweet man
and so kind and so good. /
know your burden is heavy"
And a hard-looking customer
with bristling, close cropped
grey hair-a man who had
fought and cussed and hated the
chap in the coffin for almost
half a century, cleared his throat
and rumbled: Eyes, indeed. We
shall all miss him. He was very
dear to me, and | appreciate
your feelings"
Then the preacher placed his
finger tips together and looked
at the ceiling. The preacher
had often referred to the coffin's.

Charlotte Observer.
How long will Texas remain
one? The question has been
revived by agitations growing
out of the conflicting interests of
the different sections of the vast
empire in which he entire popu-
lation of Germany could be
located without crowding. Even
The Houston Post is inclined to
give serious consideration to the
plan of making three or four
States out of the one. The
Prohibition Panhandle with its
economic problems, affecting
vilaily the welfare of a people
largely drawn from other States,
is beginning to despair of land
and railroad legislation upon
which its prosperity and devel-
opment depend" says The Post.
South Texas with its heavy
anti prohibition preponderance,
drawn largely from Europe, is
weary Of the constantly tighten
ing coil that the prohibitionists
are drawing about it. West
Texas, like the Panhandle, has
its peculiar problems, which fail
TO exact the interest or the sym

When Tedas, the independent
republic, joined the Union, it
reserved to itself the right to
divide itself into any number OF
States not exceeding five with
Out consulting Congress or any
authority. If therefore, Texas
should decide that its motto shall
be I'VE are five" and thereby
secures for itself ten United
States Senators in stead of two,
nobody could object, however
displeasing the prospect would
be to the Republicans and Pro.
gressives in Congress. One
somehow harbors the idea
