Vinita, Oklahoma GIVING THE PLUG HIS DUE FIFTY-ONE TEXAS PARDONS Governor Cclquitt Signs Them' at Aus tin cn his Fifty-First Birth day. Austin, Tex.. Dec. 17. This was the lifty-flrsl anniversary of the birth of the Governor of Texas and the Col qultts spent a most pleasant day at the Executive Mansion. Ilowlins Col quitt of Huston, son of the Governor, came up and helped make IiIh fathers natal day one of happiness. For each year of his life the Gover nor signed a Christmas pardon today. The Governor has adopted a new policy in granting pardons. Each is conditional ' and obligates the recip ient to be on good behavior during the term of his sentence. In the case of life sentences it conditions the men to obey the laws and remain tractable the remainder of their nat ural lives, otherwise they will return ed to prison walls. Steadygoing, Sensible Qualities Ara Not Always Accordtd tha Recog nition That They Deserve. Don't make fun of the plug. He may be slow and awkward and never get to the stable until dark, but he is the fellow who In the and will bring home the coin, Bays a Kansas City writer. The plug horse that pulls the lister all day in the field puts more money in the bank for the honest farmer than the race horse that goes out and turns a halt in 0:60 flat and then loafs for two weeks waiting for another race to be matched. The old plug goes out in sunshine and storm and pulls in a few dollars every week, but the race horse waits for the day when the track is good and then generally loses more than he wins. The steady old plug keeps the wolf from the door, while the race horse causes the mort gage to be foreclosed. Just so with the man. Pin your faith to the plug who keeps eternally at it; the fellow who gets up every morning and does so much and Is ready to do it again next day. He lays up more shining dollars in the bank than the swift sport who lies nround all summer waiting for luck to come along and turn a stream of silver into his pocket. One cackling Plymouth Rock hen Is worth a dozen screaming eagles when it comes to paying off the mortgage. The plug Is the fellow who steadies the ship and acts as ballast when the boat be gins to rock. The plug Is the fellow who lives contentedly and long and when he passes away the local paper says, "He leaves his family In com fortable circumstances."

It Is claiming rather a great deal to aay that a child's whole future career may depend upon the hearing of a rtory! Put, unquestionably, It Is true. A boy I know, whose parents were obliged to live In England during two of his early years from the time be was eight until he was ten said to his father one day: "Am I an Eng lishman, an American, or haven't I ny country at all?" His father, a loyal American, startled at this question, read to the boy "A Man Without a Country." "You are an American," he told the boy. "Never forget that!" The boy, now a man, 1b Just about to enter the United States army. Much of his life has been passed In other countries, but he is an American. "I think I might have become an Englishman, or a man with no partic ular loyalty to any flag," he said re cently, "had it not been for the story of 'A Man Without a Country.' which my father read to me when I was a 111 tie boy in England. I didn't under stand all of it, but I understood enough to keep me forever loyal to the land of my birth, no matter where I might happen to be growing up."
