WOULD SPREAD BOLL WEEVIL
Dallas Man Said (o Have Offered to
'Blight Entire South With Pestiferous
Boll Weevil.
The following dispatch from
Washington appeared in the state
press recently. Just what should
be done with a man who would
attempt such a dastardly act it is
hard to say. The dispatch says
the offer of a Texan to scatter the
boll weevil through the entire cot
ton section of the South in order
to affect the next crop prompted
the Committee on Agriculture to
report favorably today a bill of
Mr. Lovering of Massachusetts to j
prohibit the interstate transporta
tion of insect pests and the use of
the United States mail for that
purpose.
Some time ago a prominent cot
ton firm in New York received a
letter from a man in Dallas offering
to undertake the spread of the pest
for the purpose of affecting the cot
ton crop in sections outside the
present boll weevil area.
This letter was turned over to
the Department of Agriculture and
Secretary Wilson put some of the
Department's detectives on the
track of the writer. He was found
to be a man of some prominence in
Dallas. There was no way of
reaching him for punishment, so
the matter was presented in con
fidence to the members of the
Agricultural Committee and Mr.
Lovering drew a bill providing for
punishment for any such attempt
as he had suggested.
The letter that the Texan wrote
to the New York cotton brokers
was read to the committee today,
but it was withheld from publica
tion and the members of the com
mittee were bound not to disclose
the name of the writer.
The. committee unanimously re
ported the Lovering bill, which
provides that no railroad, steam
boat, express, stnge or other tran
sportation company shall transport
from one State to another any live
insect which is notoriously injur
ious to cultivated crops of any
kind, or the bugs, pupae or larvae
of any such insects. The bill also
prohibit the removal of such in
sects or eggs or larvae from ooe
State to another by any individual.
Any letter.. parcel, box or other
package containing such pro libit
cd insects or eggs is declared non
mailable and shall not be conveyed
in the mails nor delivered from any
postofficc nor by any letter carrier;
and any person who shall know
ingly deposit or cause to be depos
ited for mailing or delivery any
thing by this act declared to be
nonmailable matter, or cause the
same to be taken from the mails
for the purpose of retaining, cir
culating or disposing of or of aid
ing in the retention, circulation or
disposition of the same shall for
each and every offense be fined not
more, than five thousand dollars or
imprisoned at hard labor not more
than five years, or both, at the dis
cretion of the court.
The Secretary of Agriculture is
empowered under the provisions of
the bill to prepare rules and regu
lations under which such insects
or eggs or larvae may be transport
ed for scientific purposes, such
rules and regulations in so far as
they affect the use of the mails
ing subject to the approval of the
Postmaster General.
Any person, company or corpo
ration who shall knowingly violate
the provisions of this act shall be
liable to a fine of five thousand
dollars or imprisonement at hard
labor, or both, in the discretion of
the court.
A Happy Hpme.

The moon cast floods of glory upon

little children stood upon a south
veranda waiting for "papal
Would papa we welcome? Yes.
When he was tired from the day's
labors and turned his face home
ward, he knew there was a wel
come awaiting him. Knowing this;
he quickened his steps. When he
arrived, he was made to feel that
he was welcome. Before he got to
the yard gate, four joyful children
ran to meet him. They clung, to
his hands and coat-tail. One little

kissed
mother and the babe. He seemed
to be the happiest man in the world!
'Why should he be? His home
was an humble one a mere cot
tage. He had very little of this
world's goods. He labored for his
daily bread. But listen: Love dwelt
in that little cottage. Also, Love's
associates, confidence, fidelity, at
tentiveness and gentleness, were
there. In brief, it was a happy
home.
The above picture we saw in the
city of Bonham.
A happy home! What magic
power is therein contained! The
labor may be hard and trying, but
if the laborer dwells in a haptfy
home his arm is strengthened. The
conflict may be long, the battle
fierce and bloody, but to the wound
ed soldier boy, who has dwelt in a
happy home, an inspiring vision
will appear. Recollection will bring
her sweetest picture from the ar
chives of Memory and the soldier
will take new hope and courage for
the morrow as the old home of his
happy childhood days appears be
fore his mental vision.
Yes, and the poor outcast, whose
virtue and happiness have been
sacrificed to satisfy man's brutal
passion, is never stronger impelled
to return to virtue's narrow way as
when, in Meditation's golden hour,
Reminiscence leads her back to the
old family altar and bids her listen
once more to a sainted mother's,
fervent prayer.
So marvelous and enduring is the
influence of a happy home that our
prayers as Texaus, as Americans,
might well be: "God give us more
happy hoiues."

inis simple remeay nas never
failed in this (too often) fatal
malady. Usually, three or four
applications will be sufficient, but
continue always until perspiration
starts freely from the chest. This
simple remedy, so says the New
England Grocer, was formulated
many years ago by one of the best
physicians New England has ever
be-(known. He never lost a patient
by this disease and won his renown
by saving people by simple rem
edics after the best medical tal
ents had pronounce:! their cases
hopeless. Personally, we know of
three psrsons who were saved by
this remedy last winter in Eoston
after their physicians had given
them up to die, and if a record
were made of all similar cases dur
ing the last six years, it would' fill
a good-sized vqlurae.

GEN. LEW WALLACE DEAD
Author of Ben Hur Passes Away of a Wast
ing Disease Was a Mexican
War Veteran.
Crawfordsville, Incl., Feb. 15.
Surrounded by h is family, Gen.
Lew Wallace, author of ":n
Hur, ' ' one time Minister of Turkey
and" veteran of the Mexican aud
Civil Wars, died at his home in
this city tonight, ageel 7S years.
The health of General Wallace
has been waning for several years
and for monfihs, despite the effort
othe family to keep the public in
ignorance dhis true conditiou, it
has been generally known that his
vigorous constitution could not
much longer withstand the ravages
of a wasting disease.
Eor more than a year he had
been unable to prorerfy assimilate
food, and this, together with his
extteme age, made more difficult
his fight against death. At no
time has he ever confessed his be
lief that the end was near, and his
rugged constitution and remarkable
vitality have been responsible for
prolonging his life several months.
The deathbed scene was one of
calmness. v Besides his physician,
only his wife and his son, Henry
Wallace, of Indianapolis, were
present. Two grandchildren, al
though in the house, were not ad
mitted to the room.
When told by his physician that
he was dying General Wallace was
perfectly calm and his last words
were expressions of. cheer to his
griefstricken family. Bidding them
farewell, hesaid
"I am ready to meet my maker, "
and lapsed into unconsciousness,
from which he did not recover.
No definite funeral arrangements
have been made.
Never Heard The News.
When Bishop Meade was an
enthusiastic youug miujater he
made many miaeionary journeys
into the wilds of the, Southern
mountains.
On one occasion as he sat at the
door of a mountaineer's hut re
freshing himself from a tedious
jaunt with the buttermilk and corn
poue the youug mountaineer wife
had offered., the enthusiast entered
into the story of the Redemption
to an interested atidience of one. v
Aa the story proceeded the young
woman from, time to time uttered
exclamations of surprise and
delight. .
"You don't mean to tell me,".,
said the young divine, feeling the
sincerity of her surprise, 'that
you never before heard of Christ
and Him Crucified?''
The young woman, realising
from his shocked tones the mag
nitude of hec ignorance, put her,
fists into her eyes, drew up he
apron to dry her tears, and apol
ogetically and lamentably. "Oh,
Misterl TJs live so far from de Big
Road, and my man John he don't
never tell me no newsl"
