Tho Press haa it on the very bost of authority that Hon. Al bert StevouBon. of Mineral Wolls, is seriously considering becoming a candidate for Congress from the Sixteenth District in opposition to Hon. W. It. Smith, tho present congressman. Mr StovoiiBon is a woll known lawyer of Mineral Wells, and is in ovory way quali fied to discharge tho dutioB of the ofiico to which he aBpireR. Thoro aro rumors of other pro posed candidates for this oillco, but none of theso other reports can bo verified at this writing by The ProsB. It IooIcb like tho raco will bo between Mr. Smith and Mr. StoveiiBon. Thoy aro both good mon. Mr. Smith has inado a good representative of the Six teenth district in the national Congross and Mr. Stevenson pospsseB the qualifications neces sary to mako a good congressman as well. It will be for tho voters of the district to deoido botweon theso two gentloman, both of them exceptionally well fitted for tho duties and responsibilities of tho office. Your Boy. Ozjna Southwest Tcxnn. Don't coddle your boy. If you want him to bo a brave manly boy a boy who will respect him Bolf don't be always asking him if hiB throat fools sore, and if his head aches, and if ho is sure ho has not boon sneezing. Don't teach him to bolievo that a fow drops of rain on his back will provo fatal. Don't fill him with torror of the north wind and of the bracing cold of winter. Don't talk to him when ho is eat ing and enjoying the food hie Bystom craves, about dyspepsia aud liver complaint. Let him climb trees, and havo him taught to swim, and row, and play ball. Let him drivo a horse, and har ness it, too. Don't toll him ho cannot do a thing that ho under takes. Don't throw cold water on his plans for doing groat things, ovon if you know ho must fail. Give him a chanco to try. Lot him have a placo where he can Baw, aud hammer and whittle to Iiib heart's content, without being warned that ho will surely cut his fingers off, and without being roprimandod about tho clatter ho is making. A boy needs freedom and scopo in which to dovolop Cramp him wlion ho is young and you crump him for lifo. Teach him to bear trials with courage. Don't fill him with a silly dream of sickness. I'orhups half tho diseases from which wo Buffor aro purely imaginary, and every physician knows it, qnd tries to keep the mind of tho patient so employed that ho will havo no time to think of him self. Too much coddling 1ms ruined ninny an otherwise lino boy. Tho mothers God bless thorn 1 mean well, but they are not wiso always, and their boys grow up weak and dyBpoptic, and languid for tho lack of a little courago which has been completely edu cated out of thorn if thoy over pOSBGSBCd it. Don't coddle your boy. If ho is sick nurso him as tenderly as you ploaso, but don't coddle him and mako him sick for tho sako I of nursing him. Touch him to bo manly and independent; to havo a couraKO for any fato, and nine chances in ton are in his grasp for success in lifo. It is not tho timid, hesitating, upprohonsivo man who rises, but the man who boob tho opportunity and who sayB, "I will grasp it." Monday morning Phil C. Leo, a chip off tho old block, son and numesake of ono of tho founders of n progressive Sun Angolo, hunted up Charles P. Motcalfo and pro.posod to tho latter that the carnival bo hold. Ho thought the people of San Angolo reolly wanted a carnival, ho know that West Texas pooplo expected a carnival and he proposed that ho and Mr. Metcalfe mako an effort to push tho matter to a buccobbIuI conclusion. Motcalfo haB boon regretting tho dropping of tho carnival idea for some timo and has on numerous occasions up braided hiB San Angflo friends for their scorning apathy upon so important a subject. So now thpro will bo u carnival. Tho fact that Phil Leo and Charlie Motcalfo are working to that end is proof sufficient that a carnival will be held But thoro aro othor proofs.

Kuhno, Manager. auMMW3wwyewmo One of the Border City's Leading Newspapers Comments on Con gressman Smith's Career. Congressman W. It. Smith, of Colorado, who is in tho city on a visit, says ho just dropped in to ace if thoro is anything that El Paso needs or wants, before he leaves for tho national capital as ho expects to reach Washington early and does not know if he will havo timo to coino back hero bo foro thon. Mr. Smith declines to discuss tho congressional laco from thiB district, but admits that ho is not afraid of anv opposition that has devoloped bo far and says ho bo liovos his constituents will Btick by him at least until ho aide thorn in completing a number of mooB uroB which havo boon taken up ut thoir request and suggestion. With El PasoaiiB, for instance, tho Englo dam mutter is not en tirely settled since thoro aro mat tors always arising at hoadquar tors that need attention and it is rousonablo to suppoBO that tho El Paso people will wish him to remain in ofiico to look after them. Othor BectioiiB, it is safe to say, havo muttors equally as important to thorn und it Ib hardly expected that thoy will wish to givo up thoir roproBenta tivo, who is thoroughly acquaint ed with thoir needs and wants, for a now man. Accordingly, Mr. Smith is not worrying a groat deal at thiB timo anyhow. Mr. Smith sayB conditions aro oxcollont ull ovor his district and that all pooplo uro apparently prosperous, tho season having boon a good ono and favorable for both cattle ranges and farms. In tho farming soction, ho says, the peoplo aro all busy with thoir crops and in tho cuttle sections tho stockmen aro smiling and watching thoir cattlo fatten on tho fine grass. Mr. Smith is highly olated that stopB aro now boing takon to en large Fort BlisB, sinco it was at his direct instigation that tho war dopurtmout took up tho mut ter, a littlo over a yoar ago. At tho timo tho commanding gonoral of the army had roportod aguinst tho onlargomout of tho post and Air. Smith facod a hard proposi tion, but later when a now com manding goueral und tho quarter mustor general camo horo to in spect tho post, thoy saw that Mr. Smith's contentions woro right und that Fort Bliss was worthy of boing a larger post.

In ho course of tho article a noteworthy tribute is paid to congressman W. It. Smith as follows: Tho author of the bill which murkB the beginning of tho work of the reclamation service in Tcxub is representative William Robert Smith, from the Sixteenth district of the Lone Star State, which iB suid to be tho lurgost congressional district, boing 500 miles from euBt to west. Ho is Biiid by his follow mombers of congress to bo a man of remark able personality and magnetism. In fact ono member declared that his BucceHB in having a bill passed currying such u lurgo ap propriation, after former failures to huvo it pass, was duo m u lurgo mousuro to "his old fashioned honoBty of purpose und his irre sistible personality " Tho onlv other ofiico ovor hold by Mr. Smith nun that of district judge, which position ho fillod for six yours previous to hiB election to congress. Ho wus first appointed by tho govenor und such wus his popu larity that ho was twico ro-olocted without opposition, recoiving 'practically a unanimous vote. 'Mr. Smith was born in 18(113 und ' tukes pride in being a native Tox- an Ton of his uncles und his father woro soldiora of tho Confedorucy. His puronts woro from Goorgiu where there is n large family con nection. His boyhood was spent on Iiib fathor'H farm in bmith county. Ho attondod tho country schools, afterwnrd completing tho course ut tho Sam Houston normal Bchool ut Jluntsvillc, Toxas. In 1885 Mr Smith began the practice of his profession and two years luter lollowiug tho advice of Horace Greoly to "go west," ho locutod at Colorado, Toxas, whoro he was married und whoro ho has sinco made his homo. Next to hln abaoluto devotion to duty and tho cuubo of right, his chief churncteiBtic is n fond ness for ull things legal. It was noticed in connection with tho work done for his constituents in tho Itio Grande valloy that Mr. Smith displayed marked diplo matic ability Having had al most from childhood to depend on his own efforts, ho is of pruc tical, tactful turn of mind. He is careful for results rather than display, and in any undertaking has a strong faculty for taking hold of tho cssontialB, wasting no timo for non-ossontialB. And any undertaking calls forth on his part groat enorgy and determina tion, which usually rosults in its accomplishment. Mr. Smith hopos to bo instru mental in having tho national irrigation laws oxtendod to in- oludo tho whole of Texas. Ono of tho 55 countioB in his district (Tom Greon county) is of greater sio than the statu of Rhode Island. Judge Cunningham's Candidacy. Judgo .1. F. Cunningham of Abilene is here on u Hhort visit.
