A «ad-faced editor, with fringes
on the bottom of trousers, and
the wind sighing mournfully
through his whiskers, sat in hi*
aanctum thinking—thinking.
Presently a shadow fell across
the room and a shrill voice de
«sanded to know if he was the
editor. "Yes sir," said he witl
a look of alarm. The owner of
the voice mopped the floor with
'the editor and went his way,

furniture, life is still worth living:

•Ilea of railroad and rank first of all
itatea in the Union In mileage. In
miles per area, we rank fortieth, having
1.16 miles of railroad per 100 square
aflea of territory. In mileage per popu-
lation. we rank nineteenth, having 16.49
nllea of railroad per 10,000 people.
The comparative test of railroad fa-
Hlltles Is In miles per area. If we
tad the mileage per area that the state
tt Illinois has we would have 65,600
filies: that Indiana haa 64.000 mllea
nd that Iowa haa 46.00C mllea. We
lave only 14.000 mllea.
According to the last Interstate com-
merce commlaaion report, compiled

fourth In the list of states In the Union
ta construction during the year. We

tion than any other state In the Union.
The railroad development of Texaa
has not kept pace with the development
f other lines of Induatry. Our railroad
nlleege during the peat ten yeara has
Increased 66 per eent: the value of
sianufactured products has Increased
It per cent; the value of farm lands 167
per cent and the development of all
lines of Industry has been retarded for

SLEEPY DRIVER A NUISANCE.
When Charlea Lockwood fell faat
asleep while driring his two-horse
vegetable wagon the other day, traf-
fic waa tied up for a considerable
lime in one of New York's busiest
streets. As the horses wslked slowly
the trolley traffic wss blocked. Sev-
eral cars crawled alowly behind him,
but he slept on despite the clanging
of the gongs. A policeman poked
him with hie nightstick, but he only
fell over into the wagon and con-
tinued hia alumber. The policeman
then pulled the track off the ear
linea, and after much prodding
awakened the driver. Lockwood's
temper was Considerably ruffled at
the rude awakening, end so abusive
was he that the policeman marched
him off to a police court.
In describing* the greatness of

A new steamship lin? opening up

We now have forty-six steamships
plying out of Galveston and the flag

seen floating from thia harbor. In
tonnage it ranks second to New
York.
We have 1,210 miles of perman-
