There was a poor man who
liuwl in the town of Ross, in
Herefordshire, England, some
hundred vears aero, who took as
his mission the planting of trees
As a result of his labor, his native
town, sitting high on the banks of
the Wye river, under a bower of
big trees, is today one of the most
beautiful spots in the world. Here
is an object lesson for public
spirited men and women iu Texas
towns. Go thou and do likewise.
A.T the recent meeting of gov
erment engineers and representa
tives of several coast towns of
Texas held at Corpus (Junsti, a
representative of the National
Lines of Mexico stated that it was
the desire of his road to establish
a deep water port at Corpus, to
furnish an outlet ' for Mexico
through Tampico and Vera Cruz
into the United States. The
fulfillment of a project like this
would mean the making of Cor
pus, her development into a city
within an incredibly snort space
of time. And with a city in the
midst of our country, even in
reach, whether here or at Corpus,
would solve a multitude of prob
lems for our country and give it
an impetus that will require ages
of its own motion. The benefits
that would accrue are too obvious
and numerous to mention but it
would mean, foremostly, that civ
inzation lias come to us Here in
the wilderness instead of been
created by us after years of labor
and waiting, that' the term "out
side world" would no longer have
a signincance tor us because we
would be a part and active member
of it, that in the space of five
years we would have under-gone
transition, a change for the better,
usually requiring fifty years of
evolution through patient toil and
endless endeavor and endurance.
A Thanksgiving Yawp.
Dear! Dear!
'Tis almost here;
The glad Thanksgiving Day
When ther slay
The pride-puffed gobbler with the rci
neckwear,
And kingly air,
And housewives with artistic eye -
Construct the indigestion-breeding pie
Of pumpkin or of mince,
Which since
The first original Thanksgiving Day
They
Have loved to bake
To keep awake
They who have tasted oi then- sweets
too deep.
Or if thej- sleep
See things that never happened in tne
night,
And wake in fright
TV, find thev've kicked thekivers off
onto
The floor, and mayhap kicked the wife
a few!
Thanksgiving Day,
When in our midst we eager store away
The tnrfcev stuffed witlrmiscellany, and
The other good things of the land,
Including Tom and his side partner,
Jerry,
And egg well nogged, and now and then
a cherry
Immersed in depths of a Manhattan
bath.
Until the path
Of life seems strewn with fresh-blown
flowers,
And thus the hours
We whirl away in gorointj food 'and
drink,
And seldom think
Of raising eyes to heaven in thankful
mood,
In gratitude
For all the blessings showered on the
land
From heaven's hand.
Is it not so?
Yes? No?

Restaurant Names.
At Montreal tbe advertising
manager ot tlie Canadian facmc is
a man named Ham, and the city
ticket office is in. charge of a man
named Egg.
The two are fast friends, and if
both happen to be out of town at
once inquiries for Ham and Egg
are frequent.
By a coincidence, both report to
an official named Bacon, whose
chief clerk is named Brown.
Heceutlv Ham and .bgg were
both in Bacon's office. The tele
phone rang and Brown answered.
.The following conversation took
place:
T'Vho is that?"
This is Brown. Do you want
Bacon?"
"No, I don't want bacon, brown
or any other way.''
"Well, Ham and Egg are here.
Do you want either of them?"
No, I don't. Central, cut that

What a Jubilee Is.
Some years ago, before Queen
Victoria's death, and about the
time that the queen's jubilee was
to be celebrated, the following con
versation between two old Scotch
women was overhead on a street
corner, in Loudon:
Can ye tell me, wumman, what
is it they call a jubilee?"
"Well, it's this " said her neigh
bor. When folks has been mar
ried twenty-five years, that's a sil
ver wuddia' , and when they have
been married fifty years that's
golden wuddin'. But if the nion's
dead then it's a jubilee."
Has Already Retired
Capt. John A.-Brooks, the well
known ranger captain, will soon
tender his resignation to the gov
ernor and will locate on some
school land he has acquired in the
northern part of- this county. In
this the State of. Texas will lose one
of its most efficient and valuable
officers, but what will prove a lossi
to the state will be a material gain
to our county. Hidalgo Advance.

ManuelReyes, baker of 500 Lin-

Asked to define the word "gen

who can lose without squealing
and srin without bragging; who is

and old people; who is too brave

Overreached Himself.
A lawyer irotu one of the in
terior counties of Pennsylvania
went to Philadelphia on some pro
fessional business. When he re
turned he told his neighbors about
it. "I stopped at one of them
taverns," he said, "and they
charged me three dollars a dav for
my room and meals. Just think
of that; three dollars a day! But
got good and even with them.
I ate oysters three times a day."
Members of the next legislature
should bear in mind tnat Texas is
not paying her governor a decent
salary, and in the readjustment of
the general situation, this fact
should not be lost sight of. Make
the official term of all county and
state officers four years, rendering
the office-holder for the term in
eligible for re-.election, and pay
the governor of Texas an official
salary of $10,000 per annum.
