Houston, Texas, August 11.—Both the Democrats and Republicans of Tex as will hold conventions today, the for mer meeting In San Antonio and the latter In Dallas. The San Antonio convention promises to be highly in teresting, owing to the attempt that will probably be made to inject the prohibition Issues into the delibera tions. The recent primary, in which the question of a state-wide prohibi tion election was an issue, was not decisive. Owing to divergent inter pretations of the law governing the primary, both tbs "wets" and "drys" claim a victory. Governor T. M. Campbell will be renominated, having received an overwhelming majority In the primary. Owing to the prohibition fight and the friction between the adherents and opponents of Senator Bailey, the Republican are claiming a possibility of victory in the election .this fall, apd the convention In Dallas will likely be the most etching In the histlry of the party in Texas. The remnants of the Populist party in Texas are holding a convention in Fort Worth today to select an elec toral ticket. Diarrhoea Gured.

You want to dig a little In the ground. The ripple of distant wa ters lures you. Of a sudden you straighten your shoulders and emit this prouunciamento: "I'm goln' flsbin'." (When one is under that sort of Im pulse, It Is proper to cut out the final "g."t There can he no doubt you have cor rectly diagnosed the ailment. The symptoms are unmistakable. Your disease is "spring fever"—plus. The prescriptlou is specific. It Is the recipe Simon Peter used when he said, "I go a-fishing." Well— You get out the tackle. You don an , old suit aud fix it. It is not elaborate, that outfit. No fancy reel for you. You are no professional. Just a bam boo pole with the old fashioned string and cork and lead. And as for bait? You dig for worms in the back yard us you did when you wore knee breeches. If you are a city man you take the car as far as It goes aud walk the rest of the way. Walk is scarcely the word. You slouch over the countryside. Arrived at the stream, you select a log or a rock whence to dangle your simple enticements. You discover the fish are not In a biting mood. You do not care. By degrees your pole droops Into the water. Yon have forgotten You i what you came for. Well, the fact Is you are not partic ularly concerned as to the catch, just wanted "to go lisliln'," that was j nil. And when you go home empty j handed, If the boy Jibes at you and : your "fisherman's luck,'' why, you are j content. You have had your fun. Is it not so? You wanted to get away from every body. You wanted to loaf and Invite your soul. Yon were tired of the buzz of business and the clash of civilized tilings. You heard the call of the wild. And nobody saw you bothered you as you nodded apd dreamed over your fish pole. And you dreamed of a little mite of a boy who fished with a hickory switch and a pin hook long, long ago. And you dreamed —but it's nobody's business what. It was nature calling to you and say ing to you what science in these last days is saying to all humans: "Re lax. Relax. The bow that is always bent will sometime lose its spring." When you plod back home the string of fish may be lacking (save it may be you can buy some from a boy), but you have obeyed the primal impulse that came to you. And Mother Nature has rocked you in her cradle and crooned her soothing lullabies. The cure for that tired feeling is to— Go fishin'. and nobody I People are looking every day for a good boarding house. If you want boarders say so in a little want ad in the Daily News.
