What I Know About Hardware and State Polities. Texas has been injured in many ways. Foreign capital has been kept out. Times have been made hardor and tho reputation of our pooplc for honesty and fair dealing has been questioned abroad by various blun ders of our law-makers. Right now we need a olearbcaded business man for governor, ono who thoroughly un dcrstands the follies of the past and is able to lead the legislature out of tho old rut into cha incU of mod ern economic busiuess menthods, a good lawyor, who knows what it re quires to make a law stand tho test of tho courts. First of all such rubbish as tho oecupation tax law, tho anti trust law and alien land law should bo repealed, and next, steps should be taken to oncourago foreign oapital into Texas investments and to open new enterprises and bring Texas baok on tho road to proRperity. It would bo hard to find anyone more worthy and better qualified for goveror than our townsman, George Clark. What adds more to the beauty and comfort of a home than a nice lawn? I still keep tho celebrated Pennsylvania mower and havo also added a now make which is considered st ill better but not dearer. After many experiments I havo found tho best mako of garden hose. It oannot possibly leak, wears longors and vet is a) cheap as other makes. Yours for hardwaro, En Strauss. in. Smith & Gray's Monthly. Naiiii'd Him. It was in tlio Sabbath school class, and little 'Liz'beth hud been listening wit! much interest, to the bcriptural illustra tion of the shepherd nnd his sheep. "Now," said the teacher, "tell me who takes care of the sheep?" "The shepherd," answered the class in thorns. "That is right; and who else?" There was silence fora moment. Then ft little hand was raised with "I know teacher." "You may tell." And 'Liz'beth answered, with sincero emphasis, "Ho Peep." Washington Star. CONRAD! CONRAD!
