thuaiasm vas manifested in a dis
cussion Of the political situation.

In discussing the situation, Mr.,
Mayhem said there was two fold
purpose in the organization propos-
ed, the first being an organized eff
fort to defeat certain interests which
try to dominate the party and, Sec
ond, TO procure the election of an
able man to the senate. Out of
several good men, who offered for
the senate. he picks Or. Brooks as
man capable of representing the
people and as man on whom the
various factions may concentrate.
No man in Texas is the peer of Dr.
Brooks IN intellect and moral char-
acter lie is not politician and

How John Henry Came Very Near to Losing the Lady of
 His Heart.

\/o ouNG John Henry Smith met Miss Arabel Jones at one ot
 those functions where one
 dances until he has reached the ultimate of endurance and then hurls tea into himself Immediately he became one of the many caltiike followers of Miss Jones, a thoroughly infatuated young man who trailed her whenever he could, gazing at her with breeding, sorrowful eyes, and occa sionally uttering bovine noises.
 Winter crowded onto the heels of spring, and eventually the 14th of February arrived, and Jchn Henry Smith, being a young man of enter. prise and determination, sent to Miss Jones a valentine, which cost $3.50 and which contained a wealth of lurid sentiments. Being aware of the nice

 He was let in. Shortly afterward Miss Jones entered the room and i'm mediately John Henry Smith scented trouble. He was no diplomatist. Dis raeli and Talleyrand had it on him seven ways from the ace. But there was that in Miss Jones' upturned chin and ice-refrigerating pose which warned even as a reliable barometer.
 Anything wrong?" inquired the young man.
 Nothing"
 He smiled fatuously. Surely his val entlne had won some distinction. It cost $3.50!
 Did you receive any valentines to- day?" he asked.
 About two dozen,' she replied, dis tinctly.
 This floored him, as it would anyone who was unexpectedly overtaken by an avalanche.
 A long silence ensued.
 You must excuse me-" said Miss Jones, rising abruptly. T have an en- gagement."

 "If you touch me-" came the hoarse voice of the memorable youth, T won't tell sis nuthin,." Then, coldly: Do get dollar?"
 He did.
 And it was not until the engagement had been announced, some time later. that John Henry Smith got square.

! LONDON, February 22.-The. house
of commons last night passed new
votes of credit to the amount OF
s420, OO0, 0O0 This is expected to carry
the war to the end of May. bringing
the total sum appropriated by means
of votes of credit since the outbreak
of the war to f2.os2. 100000. sum.
according to Premier Asquith, mot only
beyond precedent but actually beyond
the imagination of any financier Of
this or any other country"
Premier Asquith spoke for fifty min
utes in presenting the governments
motion for the new war credits.
Keeping War Cost Down.
The point emphasized by Premier
Asquith was not the enormous totals
necessary for the war. but the fact
that by careful economy and safe
guards the government had succeeded
in holding down the expenditure well
below s5.O00.000 a day, which figure he
thought unlikely to be exceeded at any
time.
Mr.. Asquith told the house that the
daily expenditure from April ! to
July II of last year was G2.S00,000;
from July IS to September II, G3.500,-
900: from September IL to November 6,
f4.35O,000; from November to Feb
ruary 10. 1916, between s4,s00,O0O and
G4.400,0OO.
Loans to Great Britain's allies and
to the dominions on November last
amounted to G9S,300,O00. Between No
vember Z and February 10 the amount
loaned was s7O,600,00O, making a total
of s16S,900,000.
Satisfied With Exchange.
The chancellor of the eXchequer, in
an optimistic statement regarding the
condition of British credit. said:
Criticism has been made that we are
not taking proper steps to maintain our
credit, particularly with reference to
American exchange. / merely ask the
house to compare our American ex-
change with that of any other of the
belligerents. At the present time the
rate is ATS. and the government does
not wish it higher than that. 1t is
still 10 cents below normal. but we do
not wish it to go either up to or above
normal. for the simple reason that we
are discouraging imports by keeping
the exchange a little below par and
checking the export of gold to Amer
lea"
