Texas Woman's Odd Political Campaign

Politics is queer game, but 1t
would be hard to find a more pictur.
esque primary campaign than that In
Texas, where Mrs. Miriam w. Ferguson
ran for the Democratic nomination
for governor as a vindication Of heI
husband, James q. Ferguson, the for
mer governor, who was impeached in
1917. Her husband managed her cam
paign and they spoke from the same
platform. Previous to her marriage
In 1899 she was Miss Miriam Wallace
Of Bell county. .......
Mrs. Ferguson got 140,906 votes
and stood second to Felix d. Robert
son of Dallas, 1s6,996 votes. So Mrs.
Ferguson apparently earned q place
in the run-off primary. q
James Edward Ferguson, her hus-
band, has had varied career. He
was born in Bell county, Texas, In
1877, had a district school education
and spent two years on the Pacific

Soft Words From the "Tiger of Mexico

Gen. Plutarcho Elias Gales
Tiger Of Mexico''-and its President
elect, Is making a trip to Europe be-
fore his Inauguration. He passed
through the United States, from New
Orleans to New York, had a con,
sultation with Samuel Gompers and
talked more or less for publication.
He will spend some time in Paris to
enable the women in his party to pur-
chase the latest gowns and hats. His
party of nine includes his two daugh-
tiers, Natalie and Ernestina; his broth
er, Rodolfo, with his wife and daugh-
tiers, Lydia; another brother, Arthur.
The general was optimistic about
Mexico's future. He said he was one
Of the first "drys" in Mexico and 1t
was largely through his efforts that
Sonora, his state, went dry In 1915.
He hoped to see prohibition become
effective throughout Mexico and also
to see the gambling along the border
done away with. Concerning Ameri-

But all the time King Eagle kept right with him without half trying. actually flap ping his great wings in Plunger's face and all the time commanding Plunger to drop that fish. Plunger was about ready to give up when Mrs. Plunger arrived to help him. She flew in King Eagles way and did her very best to interfere, all the time screaming at King Eagle and calling him a robber and thief and everything bad she could think of She was trying to make King Eagle so angry that he would leave Plunger alone and try to punish her.
 But King Eagle is altogether too smart to be fooled in any such way as that. He knew exactly what she was trying to do, and he paid no att tention to her except to threaten her with his great claws when she ventured too near. He wanted that big fat fish and he meant to have it. It first he was simply mildly threatening. He did

Inner Youth
How 1 Keep Young Inside By Edna WGllGce Hopper

The thousands who see me daily on Ehe stage know that live on my toes. am young in spirit, bubbling with vivacity, ever on the go. You rarely meet a schoolgirl as active as I yet mine is a grandmother's age.
 I have told you how l keep young outside, and have offered you my methods. All druggists now supply them. But inner youth is vastly more important, as every woman knows. Unless one lives youth, what do giHi- ish looks amount to? .s

 Glands can be revived, can be acti- Vated. And the glands are the source of youth. To me that is one of the greatest of all modern discoveries.

Little Stories For Bedtime

The King Has His Way


 Oh, who shall say to the king, Nay,
 nay?"
 Not I! Not |!
 Oh, who shall refuse the king his way?
 Not I Not I For the king is great and the king is
 strong, And the king, you know, can do no
 wrong.
 A T LEAST that is the way kings "A themselves seem to think. Too
 often they think that might makes right. You and I know better But kings, poor things, never have had the advantages that we have. Too often they have never learned to do things for themselves, because they never have had to do things for them selves. They simply command that things be done for them. And so, be- cause they have this power to command they have too often come to think that they have right to command anything that they please. They cannot under stand that other people have rights.
 It is something this way with King Eagle. He likes fish, but he never has learned to catch them for himself. So D0SuuSe He likes IlSn ana wants fish and is big enough and strong enough he feels that he has a perfect right to take them from Plunger the Fish Hawk and that Plunger should gladly give them up at his demand because he is the king. If he were not the king I suspect he would be called just a plain robber. But no one thinks of calling the king robber-that is, no one but Plunger
 When fisbing is good and Plunger can catch plenty without half trying he doesn't much mind giving up few to King Eagle. He may grumble A littie, but that is all. But when, as on thls particular morning. he has fisbed patiently for long time without catch ing single fish, and then when he is almost ready to give up, does catch A flne, big, fat fish, he thinks it rather too much to have King Eagle suddenly appear and demand that fish. So Plunger made up his mind that he would not give it up until he absolutely had to in spite of King Eagles orders to drop it. oiuerS Now.

not want to hurt Plunger, not that he cared particularly for Plunger. He didn't. His reason for not wanting to hurt Plunger was purely selfish, sus- pect. He wanted that particular fish, but he would want more fish in the fu- ture, and if he hurt PIunger and dis abled him, who would catch those fish for him in the future? So his whole iden was merely to frighten Plunger into dropping that fish.
 Plunger knew this, for Plunger is no fool, and so he held on and hoped with all his might that King Eagle would lose patience and give up. And at last King Eagle did lose patience, but with no intention of giving up. He began to lose his temper. Plunger saw a sud den change in the fierce eyes of King Eagle. They grew still more fierce Plunger's heart failed and he shivered with fear.
 Stop fooling and drop that fish v hissed King Eagle.
 With a scream of rage and disap pOintment Plunger Obeyed. He didn't dare do otherwise. The king was nc

MyNeighborS Says

A sliced onion placed in a basin of cold water will absorb the smell of new paint in room.
 Never trim a lamp wick with scis- sors. It is almost impossible to cut it clean and straight. Just rub the burned part off with an old cloth.
 Never clean the finger nails with sharp-pointed instrument, and never cut them without first soaking the hands in warm water at least five minutes. If the finger nails are stained, try dipping them in cup of swarm, soft water, to which a tea spoon of lemon juice has been added.
 If you keep an alarm clock in the kitchen and set it at the time your bread, roast or vegetables will need your attention, you can then dismiss it from your mind.
 If you like the skin of roast pork to be crisp and crackled rub little salt on the skin before lacing it in the oven.
 When boiling cabbage or a cauli- flower, tie up crust of bread in a muslin bag and place it in the sauce pan. This will prevent the smell iron prevailing the house,

 So Mrs. Mingle and Mir. Mungle and the Thingum and Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy all shook handsywith the Zumzee and promised to be good friends.
 Then Mrs. Mingle went to her magic cupboard and brought out six glasses of wild cherry cordial and a large plate of lady fingers and a great big chocolate cake and every one ate untilsthey grew sleepy.
 And as Raggedy Ann washed the Zumzee's face just before he went to bed, the Zumzee said, 'Myl Raggedy Ann, it's lots more fun being friends with people than it is being unfriendly, and shall never be selfish after this p And Raggedy Ann gave the Zumzee a playful poke in his side with her soft rag hand, for she knew that this was indeed very true.

The night of the championship was no ex- ception to him, so he opened the valves and the water rushed out at a rapid rate. The teams knew little about basket ball or they might have finished the game in that fashion. As it was, they were stranded and looked ques- tioningly to the referee.
 The officials held a conference and decided that the title would go to the Libellule team because it's record throughout the season had been better than that of its rival. This awarding of the championship was not the most satisfactory that could have been car ried out, but it WRs the best that could be done under the circumstances, and no protest was filed--New York Times.

 It seems to me it would be a good idea to have turn-about weeks. Let men stay at home and have to ask us for household expenses and spending money. They have preached to us for some time and told us our place was in the home. Preaching is a profession upon which they exercise a monopoly. The divinity schools have not been for us Men have arrogated to themselves the keeping of the worlds morals, religions and business.
