Fame
JOB JAGSWORTH came to Punkville's shore, upon a breezy autumn day, and
then he went to Corker's store, and said, "I've settled here to stay. A check
I looked for isn't here, but it will come it's overdue; so I must ask of you,
1 fear, some credit for a week or two." Old Corker scratched his snowy head, and
took a paper from a hook; "I have a letter here," he said, "informing me that
ycu're a creek. This comer from Mudtown-on-the-Hill, where you have lived a
year or two; it says you never pay a bill while there's a chance t dodge in view.
So, Mr. Jagsworth, there's the door, in which Ltake an honest pride; I pray you
leave my moral store, and soak your head a while otitside." There was a time
when beats could go from town to town and play their game, for merchants
didn't seem to know the way to circumvent the same. But now the man who
will not pay is known and sidestepped everywhere; he cannot move so far away
his reputation won't be there. And having won that sort' of fame, 'twill always
be a grievous load, and bring the burning blush of shame, when he has quit the
crooked road. Be straight, be honest as the day, and never dodge a bill that's
due; you'll find, where'er you chance to stray, that sort of fame will travel, too.

Good Feeling Restored
IT IS significant that just as soon as the "anti" organization announces its
ticket for the city election, the mayor, candidate for reelection, publicly
advises hie supporters to "say nothing unless good" about the opposition.
The mayor in the quite recent past has been a trifle loose in his language about
the opposition, not hesitating to make sweeping statements about the general
unfitness of members of the "anti" club to hold public office. Now he leads
the band in the fairy dance of joy and love of all mankind. "Say nothing unless
good," he advises, and other speakers at the "ring" meeting echo his words
and advocate a campaign without mudslinging and without personalities.
It mast be the Christmas spirit that has taken hold. The "antis" had
already voiced a like conviction that the campaign might be strenuous without
also being coarse. There is thus a fair possibility that the spring campaign
will be carried on with due delicacy, so that neighbors may still be able to
live in the same town with one another, and speak as they pass by, even though
they may differ about municipal policies.
The ticket named by the "antis" contains a number of names of men who
have not .been "mixed up in politics." It contains some strong men, in spite of
the previous assertions of the mayor and others that enough strong men to fill
out a ticket could not be found among the more than 2000 members of the
"anti" club. The mayor and his friends may, by now, even be willing to admit
that the "anti" ticket contains men without criminal records and without a
history of having tried to ''put something over" the administration and failed
in the attempt.
The "ring" will not have an easy task, to match, man for man, the "anti"
ticket. It is quite certain that the "anti" ticket is not the one the "ring" counted
on having to face. The "antis" have made a good political play in putting out
their ticket first and thus forcing the "ring" to bring forth its best men.
Out of it all will come a livelier realization of the facts that when a city like
El Paso divides into two strong camps, there must be good men on both sides,
and that there must be good reasons for the sharp division. It ought not to be
hard during the campaign to outline the real points in issue, so that the nsa3S
of independent voters allying themselves with neither faction may be able to
vete intelligently on the merits of men and measures.
The first thing is to pay poll taxes. So far less than half of those actually
enroled with tie two opposing organizations have paid their polls. The proportion
of "independents" who have paid must be very much less than that The last
day for paying polls is January 30, the 31st being Sunday. This leaves only 22
business days in which to pay.
No pay, no vote; no vote, so right to criticise. - i

Helping the
THE MANY organizations in 1 Paso engaged in philanthropic endeavor,
including the churches and lodges as well as the various organized charities,
are doing splendid and persevering work. But their funds are limited, their
facilities likewise, and they cannot be expected to reach all or do alL There
still seems to be room for a certain amount of relief work which need not
interfere with the work of others, or curtail other funds, or "over lap," or "tend
to paaperize."
.A good deal has been said this winter about needy families. A great many
of these are being regularly helped by the established organizations, whose funds
are economically and efficiently administered, and whose activities are not open
to any just criticism. Yet there are some who are not on the visiting lists of
any church or lodge, and who do not desire to apply for either public or private
charity, yet who are deserving of some special aid, and who are actually in need.
As to these, let the neighbors report them to The Herald. The Herald will act
as a sort of clearing bouse, and while

shall be immediately extended as funds available in the "Amigo Listo" fund
will allow, or as existing organizations will devote to the purpose.
This "Amigo Listo" or "Ready Friend" fund is opened at the request of
citizens who feel the call upon them for local relief work, and yet who have
been in doubt as to just the best way to achieve the best results with the least
waste or error. A way has now been found, and the work of this fund will
be supplementary to, and not subversive of, other local relief movements.
Well-to-do Mexicans may, use "Amigo Listo" if they wish to do something
for their own nationals and desire to know that their funds will be well invested.
The work of this fund will necessarily be quite largely among deserving families
of the Spanish speaking population, but will not be limited to those. The con
stant effort wiH be to reach those overlooked by other agencies of relief.
o
That it pays to be a good policeman is proved by the history of Chicago's
"model cop" as he is called, policeman McGuire, who retires with a fortune of
$100,000 which everybody knows he made by buying and selling real estate. Mc
Guire has been on the beat for 35 years, he never drinks, he has never been repri
manded, has never been before a trial board, and has an unusually successful record
for catching criminals. The story ends up nicely with the model cop going to his
home at Palm Beach for the winter.
Eating of
THE RUSSIAN soldier is a philosopher about food; he can content himself
with Httle variety. Rye bread is his main stay, cabbage soup his appe
tiser, and tea his drink. He likes "kvass" which is a drink made from fer
mented bread, and fish and porridge if he can get them. The world at peace
undoubtedly eats too much and has too much. Comparison of any simple dietary
of food that suffices for life ind hard work, with what any ordinarily comfort
able heme offets as necessary, shows an amazing difference. The Russian soldier
may eat too few things and too heavily, he may be dull witted and subservient
and a clod because he eats so dully, but contrariwise many people eat too, much,
too complexly, and too often, and are themselves duller of wits, slower of fool
and heart, and worth less in the world's count, because they stoke away more
fuel than they can burn brightly and cleanly and without clinkers.

ROSPERITY Is returning to all
sections of the country, a rep
resentative of the California
Fruit Packers' association told me re
cently, after an extended trip through
the east and south," said John II. Grant.
"He came back with a most optimistic
story of conditions in the east and
south. Steel mills of Pittsburg were
working overtime, the cotton and
woolen mills of the New England
states were working a large force and
everywhere lie went he found condf
tions fine and getting better all the
time. Especially did he find this true
in that part of the south where cotton
was not the staple commercial article.
At Birmingham, Ala., the rolling mills
were planning to put on 15,000 addi
tional men and the general tone was
much improved in that section, lie said.
His prediction was that the country
was preparing for the greatest year of
business in its history, and California
and the southwest would feel the good
effect of this prosperity wave."
"El Pasoans will have an opportunity
to see steel In the making during 'Maas
in El Paso Week,' " said Frank Dun
ham. "Arrangements have been made
by the El Paso Foundry and Machine
company to hold open house at their
plant an to show visitors the actual
manufacture of steel, fronrnSe melting"
of pigs of iron to the completed product.
The plant is the only one of its kind
for a radius of hundreds of miles and
the .exhibition will be a most interest
ing one."
"Steinbach, in Alsace, mentioned in
the dispatches as having been captured
by1 the French, Is but a few miles from
the town in which I used to live," said
Joe Geissmann. "It is typical of the
towns of that country, mostly built of
stone, and the rfisidence of numerous
comfortably fixed persons. Most of
these, before the war, were in com
fortable circumstances and had a little
put by for old age. All were workers
and most of their worldly goods were
represented by the houses they owned.
The very backbone of a country is
broken when this class of persons is
driven from their homes and sent uut
into the world destitute."
"Patriotic education is one of the
most Important parts of the work ot
the Daughters of the American Revolu
tion." said Mrs. Horace ."W. Broaddus.
"But, besides patriotic education, th?
organization does Its part toward help
ing to give a general education to de
serving girls. Through the scholarship
fund of the state D A. H., a scholarship
in the University of Texas is given
every year to one girl. It is the earnest
desire of the organization io increase
the scholarship fund so that a .lumber

"In view of the approach of .Made In
El Paso' week, it is timely fo warn
citize"ns against the pickpockets," said
chief of police L N. Davis. "Pickpockets
always seek places where there are large
crowds, particularly on occasions when
there are many strangers. They frequent
ly work in pairs, one to attract the at
tention of the victim, and the other who
actually commits the theft. There is
a great variety of methods used In the
work and it behooves every citizen to
take precautions when entering a
crowd. It Is not amiss, furthermore, to
issue warning againsfplckpockets on
the occasion of the Johnson-Willard
fight, in case that contest is staged in
Juarez, for there will certainly be a
big Inrush of crooks of every descrip

Flint Michigan
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Sifrnsh.''
FLINT, Mich., is a byproduct of the
automobile Industry. In 1900, be
fore any means had been found of
compelling gasoline to do &. decent day's
wbrk, lint was a modest place of 15,000
people which made wagons and buggies
for a living and created no disturbance
whatever on the map. The hotel still
served its side dishes in cute little china
bath tubs and the principal outdoor
amusement was going down to the depot
to see the Pere Marquette trains come
in.
Then an earnest mechanic with a few
restless dollars started an automobile
factory and Flint began to spread like
chlckenpox In a congested neighbor
hood. Today Flint has close to 50,000 peo
ple. It consists of an automobile fac
tory with appropriate municipal sur
roundings. It's own clock lan't half as
important as the factory 'whistle, for
when the latter blows in the morning
a large majority of the voting popula
tion can be found on the job. The Flint
of today is the Flint of 1900 plus the
third largest automobile works in the
world, and it is so big a difference that
when the old resident returns to his na
tive town he gets lost on the main
street and finds the dear old duck pond
of his boyhood days buried under a
business block.
Flint has ornamental lights, country
clubs, taxicabs, interurbans, a league
baseball team, a smart set and all the
other perquisites of an American city
of 50,000. But it has something else
twice as interesting. It has several

homes and large numbers of the same

ALMOST every Christmas the Tab
bies bought their tree from Mr.
Rags, who kept the toy shop.
He hired Toby Hicks to cut them for
him, and then laid them in big piles
outside of the store.
But this Christmas the Tabby boys
were big enough to go outside and get
their own tree. And. of course, Ted
and Tom and Binkie each one wanted
to be the one to hunt it out and cut it
"I wHl not decide which one shall get
the trees," said Mrs. Tabby, laughingly.
"You boys must decide that among
yourselves. If I had any wish. I would
say that it would be best for you all
three to go. One could choose the place,
one the tree and one could cut it
down."
Btft Tom shook his head. "I know
where the trees grow. I know which is
the best one, and I know just how to
cut it down better than any one else."
Ted and Blinkie said nothing, but
they were thinking that they knew
just as well as Tom. But, as a matter
of fact Teddy Tabby did not know
where the trees grew, and Binkie did
not know how to cut one down. So Ted
and Binkie compared notes and decided
that they would go together, and leave
Tom out of it.
In the meantime. Tommy was mak
ing his own plans. He sat in the big
dining- room and pretended to be inter
ested in a book, but out of the corner
of his eye he could see Ted and Binkie
laughing and tatKing togeuier. lie
called his sister Tottie to- him and
whispered in her ear: "You go o sr by
the door, Ted and Binkie are berind
it, and find out what they are saying,
then come and tell me "
Tottie nodded her head, and orept
up near the door. Ted and Binkie did
not think of looking for her, so they
talked on, safe in knowing that Tom
was seated some distance away read
lhg. Soon they went away, but they
did not see Tottie creep out from the
other side of the door and run to Tom.

Tom snut the Cook with a Dang ana
laughed. Well, that makes it easy,"
he paid, biting at Tottie's ear playfully
with his teeth and rolling her over
with his paw. "I'll be there."
Binkie and Ted giggled and laughed
together all evening, but they did not
see the winks which Tom and Tottie
exchanged Tom needed no coaxing to
go to bed. but Ted and Binkie stayed
up frightfully late.
Very naturally the next morning,
when Tom jumped out of bed, put on
his knitted sweater and cap, and went
down stairs, 'they were snoozing like
two moles!
It wis fully 9 oclock when they got
started) and. with many promises to
the other kitties, went out of the door,
and shut it behind them. The kitty
girls ran to the windows, and called to
Mrs. Tabby to come, for the two boys
had not moved from the step. They
were gazing at some one who looked
like Tom Tabby, and who bore upon
his shoulder the straightest, prettiest
evergreen tree that -hev had ever seen!
They ran meowing down the path,
and, sure enough, it was Tom Tabby,
who had outwitted them at their own
game! They jumped at him. and the
three of them rolled in the snow on
the ground. The kitty girls came out
to rescue the tree, and tne whole tribe
carried It inside. Ted and Binkie for
got to be cross, for Tom acted so giggly '
and the tree, all decided, was the best
that had ever been cut in Tabbyland!

By Beatrice Fairfax.
BY AI.I, MEANS TBLL HER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Am 24 and have been married sir
years. I have kept it a secret until sev
eral weeks ago, when I told my father.
Now, I have been going with a girl
whom I dearly love for the past year,
and a half, and I know my love is re
turned. As I told no one until now
I thought it proper not to tell her. but I
fear if she finds or learns of it in some
way, I am quite sure I will lose her.
What am I to do?
I have never seen my wife since we
were married.

Under the circumstances it will be
an easy matter to have your marriage
annulled. You certainly owe it to the
girl you now love to tell her of your
previous marriage.

Am a girl of IS and have a girl friend
of the same age. We are both consid
ered good looking. We cannot afford
to dress in the height of fashion. We
have girl friends that dress up to date,
and they have many admirers. Is it the
clothes that prevent us from having ad.
mirera, too' Amelia W.
Clothes certainly do not determine a
girl's popularity. Amiability, charm of
manner and sympathetic interest in
other people will win you more real
friends than all the Fifth avenue cos
tumes in the world could acquire for
you
