IN Van Horn, picturesque
L health spot, 1000 feet above
sea level, I was fascinated by
the sight Of an old fellow SET
ting type by hand near the
store window, so I went in and
found him a taciturn citizen
who grudgingly conceded his
name was Carl Garner, and
that he ran the Weekly Advo-
cate chiefly by himself, getting
the news and advertisements
and setting all type, as I have
said, by hand.
Thirteen years he had been
in Van Horn-liked the town,
its people-and his paper.
"Are you," I inquired. hope
fully. related to Vice Presi-
dent Garner?" He continued
setting his type and said moth
ing for a few seconds.
Then he drawled. "Well, I
guess So"
The nice tender note would
be to add here that I envy him
with his paper and his apparent
contentment. The truth is
I don't-but also is, I guess
that he wouldn't envy me
either.

until April, perhaps, he can do
something to change their
minds.
Practically every one declared
that If the opportunity offered,
he would take in the fair at
San Francisco instead. "OurS,"
I insisted, will be twice as
large" They were neither i'm
pressed nor did they quite be-
lieve me.
I have been driving on with
a conviction that most of these
Texans feel that Frisco is more
like home. I wish I could con-
vince them that New York folks
are honey, too-and will vel
come them with as much cor
diality and courtesy as greetS

the soldier (peace.time) was dis
