Tex and Mex.

Locally, at least. the entente cordfale seems
to be in a fair way toward restoration between
the state of Texas and the government OF
Mexico. Read the appended advertisement ap-
pearing in the Ell Paso Times. on recent
Sunday:
"Juarez bull ring
This afternoon at p. m. Two famous
mataders. Four bulls from San Pedro
ranch.
Sunday crossing permitted on all
border permit cards"
Mexican bull fight promoters are extending
cordial greeting across the border and the size
of the advertisement in the Times indicates
that Texaps have, in the past, RESPONDED in
sufficient numbers to justify the enterprise
shown by the promoter.
On the theory that commerce is the great
civilizer, and that trade is the great pacifier
between nations this civilizing movement be-
tween TEX" and MEX" is worthy Of consid-
GRAFTON as visible sign of the times.

Out OF the election, it is hoped, will come
the good fortune at the hands of one party or
the other, Of representative from Rock Is
land county, in the state legislature Of Illinois.
This is said in no disparagement of a small
county at the other end of the Thirty-third
district, which now enjoys the peculiar honor
Of holding two seats in the lower house in
Springfield, nor is it intended here to speak
in terms of sighting of either of the gentle
men whose good fortune it is to represent so
important district. One Of these representa-
tives comes from each of the great parties. and
their success has been invariably due to the
fact that their respective parties here at home
have not given careful consideration to the re-
quirements and demands, and the importance
of the largest county in the district.
Industrially and COMMERCIALLY, and so far
as the general interests OF the people are con-
cerned, Rock Island is one Of the leading coun-
ties of the state, and within its boundaries are

T16QE DAILY. SHORT STORY

goods in shop was, OF course, too
vulgar to be thought of. The twins
seemed fitted only to stay at home
and worry about their symptoms.
When his sisters told him about
their delicate constitutions, ZACH
was glad that he was able to pro->
tect them from the drudgery of
service. He continued to labor, still
hoping, though others had given it
up, for the substantial suitors and
the happy homes waiting some
where for the girls. He held on to
this hope more doggedly after he
met Lola Fair. sweet and patient
girl, who, he had reason to believe,
wept many q tear in the privacy
Of her own room at the thought of
her vanishing youth and the hope
less, cheerless future.
The twins had no fears. There
was always Jack, if they did not
marry. So they went along their
tranquil. easy way, quite undisturb-
ed, until one day about five years
after Jack met Lola, q cyclone
struck the Bennett family, upsetting
their habits and their plans in
rude and most unpleasant manner.
The cyclone had the form and shape
Of Aunt Maria Witherstone, a very
old and very wrinkled lady, short
in actual inches but exceedingly
long and sharp Of tongue.
The Bennets had never met Aunt
Maria before. but they hat>heard OF
her wealth. and were much pleased
ut the thought of entertaining her,
and though after her arrival they
found that they could love ner bet
ter at distance. they put them
selves out considerably to bear with
what they called her eccentricities.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am easily
teased and it seems to be every
girl I know realizes that l am.
When was IS years old I had
scarlet fever and ever since l have
been fat. Girls seem to take espec-
ial pleasure in calling me baby
elephant" and teasing me in diff
ferent ways. l have cried hours
about this. l am not flattering my
self, Mrs. Thompson, when say
that / am quite pretty except for
being fat. have blue eyes, a fine.
fair skin and wavy hair.
One girl who leases me is pretty
except that she is getting a mus
tache. Another has a dark neck
with wrinkles in it. Somtimes I
am tempted 10 tease them about
their failings. Do you. think it
would do them good and teach them
a lesson? FAT GIRL.
1t is unkind to tease and especi-
ally so about physical failings. Do
not mention the moustache or the
dark neck. Be too well bred to
hurt because someone has deliber-
ately hurt you. 1t is true that the
person who is sensitive and easily
teased is most often leased. 1t is
NO fun 10 tease unless it Is evident
that the arrow has hit the target.
Try not to show that you feel badly
when unkind things are said.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am en-
gagged to a young man who went to
another town to work about a year
ago. He said be was going to work
hard 70 that he could come back,
marry me, and take me with him.
At first l got q letter from him
every day. Then he said he was
working 50 hard he would have to
write less often, but should con-
tinue to write because my letters
would give him encouragement. Il
wrote and wrote just ~ he asked
me to. Then he stopped writing
every week. but he asked me To
keep ON writing. That was the
last time he wrote to me when he
said ! should keep on writing Just
rs much ~ ever. I wrote every
day for six weeks or 30 without
