The "Texas Commercial Secretaries' Association," is not merely an or
ganization with a name—as there exists in this state an alleged similar
organization also endowed with a long name—but an organization with a
purpose. The Texas organization nol only meets and resolutes, but it does
something. And at the end of the year the report of its secretary does not
consist of panegyrics and a paucity of facts and figures, copiously hyphen
ated with grandiloquent suggestions for the coming year, abundantly ful
minated with hot air;—but the Texas Association gets busy and does some
thing and reports results.
One thing they do is to send out literature regularly, persistently, to the
press of the country; telling the press what they are doing; interest
ing the press in what they are doing; knowing, as any
common mortal with common sense ought to know, that
if the tell the press something or anything Interesting, the press
will tell it to the people. Anything Is easy, when you know how. Accom
plishments count for nothing In performance if you don't know how. Here
is one of the things—among a thousand other things they are doing—not
merely talking about but doing—in Texas, as reported by their special
news service, which says:
For the purpose of encouraging both the Hog and Corn
Club boys in Collin county, the McKinley Commercial Club
has decided to hold monthly meetings for the boys of the coun
ty, the day to be known as "Hog and Hominy Day." It is esti
mated that over five hundred youthful farmers of Collin coun
ty will attend the first meeting. Greased pig races, sack races
and other forms of amusement will he provided and in addition
a brass band in full uniform will play popular airs on the court
house lawn and a gala time Is expected.
The Boys' Corn Club and Hog Club movement throughout
the state is becoming more prominent every day and the Com
mercial Clubs are endeavoring to encourage these lines of in
dustry by offering prizes, giving entertainments, etc., for the
boys of the rural districts.

The Commercial Club of Graham is urging the development
of the dairy industry in Young county and the Secretary of the
Club at that place recently had a "cow census" taken for the
purpose of intelligently going about the establishment of a
creamery in that city. It was found that there was not a suf
ficient number of cows in that section to justify the establish
ment of a creamery and a Live Stock Commission company
was organized for the importation of more cows. The company
purchased numbers of head of fine Jersey cows and placed
them in a pasture near^ Graham where the farmers could visit
tie pasture, inspect the herd and select such cows as they

allowed to exchange their common stock as part payment on
thoroughbreds. The further purpose of the Commission was to
give a cash market for any and all live stock and to purchase
any pure bred stock of any line for those of their patrons who
might so desire and who were not familiar with the foreign mar
ket.

Ladies' Civic League of that city is co-operating with the Com

more active each day in that thriving little city. The health

THE TRUE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT
John, alias "Punch" Wilson, died in Memphis the other day, says the
writer of "The Sidelights Column" of The Tennessean.—died in the county
poor-house, to be exact. Tuberculosis carried him off. "Punch" was one
of the bad men of Memphis. He had committed more crimes than one.
But when he approached the great divide but one dread possessed him; he
feared to lie In Potter's field. Tfie friends of other days had deserted him,
all but a few. They knew where he was; they knew his end was approach
ing. As the shadows began to lengthen about Wilson's bedside the great
dread of a pauper's grave grew stronger and stronger; and as a last resort
he told those about him to Inform Jerome - Richards when death came.
Richards was not a personal friend, he was not an associate—but "Punch"
knew his man. When the Pale Horseman called and Wilson was dead Je
rome Richards was told. Then the big heart of the ex-police chief and
present criminal court clerk was touched. He ordered that Wilson have a
decent burial, and he told the undertakers to see to It and send him the bill.
"I never admired the character of 'Punch' Wilson," said Mr. Richards,
"hut death settles all earthly scores and makes us all equal. If he can fix
It all right with bis Maker at the Judgment, I am satisfied. Death wipes
out everything so far as I am concerned, and my only hope is that he may
know that his last request was compiled with."
No mao who knew expected Jerome Richards to do otherwise or say
less. JPossIbly he Is not a saint; but his heart o
human kindness, and, after all, that Is the true

Stretching far away on every side
A fair domain I see.
A part belongs to Pat McBride,
The rest belongs to me.
I own the golden light of morn,
With all its tints that play
Upon the springing grass and corn,
Pat owns the corn and hay.
I own the catbird, thrush and jay,
The larks that sing and soar.
Pat owns the flocks of geese that play
About his stable door.
I own the dreaming summer cloud
That o'er the meadow floats
Like some pure angel in a shroud—
Pat owns those Birkshire shoats.

Just as he did last year.
Those crimson blooms I prized so high
He cut without remorse,
And sold the seed off bye and bye,
And bought a Norman horse.
I own the golden set of sun
At evening in the west,
Pat claims his gold in different form,
And chucks it in his vest.
He counts his treasures o'er and o'er
Till higher still they mount,
And goes like those who've gone before
To swell his bank account.
I gaze at ease on every hand
At our possessions fair,
Pat plows, sows and reaps the land
And keeps it in repair.
So Pat does me a world of good,
While I do Pat no harm,
And on these terms, well understood,
We both enjoy the farm.
