Weimar, Texas. „
It's been coming for a long time,
but the Coaster has been staving it
off as well as possible until it has
reached that point where it must
turn loose or "bust." It is this:
The South Texas farmer, as a class,
is the biggest and most unmiti-
gated sardine in all the category of
human beings, and we don't even
except the man who buys a gold
brick or runs a populist paper. In
other words, he is a chump. He
lives like a poor nigger's dog, is
forty years behind the time and in
his mind is the finest financier in
the world, when, as a matter of
fact, he spends dollars every day to
save nickels, starves his stock and
robs his family of the opportunity
of becoming intelligent beings. If
you are one of these things you
will probably throw down the pa-
per, call the editor a liar, order it
stopped without paying what you
owe and then take a hitch in the
rope around your pants to make
the soggy corn bread and rancid ba-
con grind a little better. But all
the same you know it's the trutn.
.For the past thirty years you've
been living like a dog, while rais-
ing cotton so you could buy Kan-
sas meat, Chicago lard and help
the gentlemen in Houston and oth-
er cotton markets to wear stove-,
pipe hats and give recherche recep-
to the elite of the town,
too poor to subscribe for
your county paper, or pay for it
after you do subscribe, because you
have to buy every blessed mouth-
ful of the stuff you call food from
the 'grocery." You are so busy
doing this that you haven't time to
attend to a few good cows, raise a
few good hogs, or decent horses.
You "can buy 'em cheaper." Be-
yond a few sqiiashes or turnips you
don't raise anything but cotton and
children, and instead of living as
good as if at a first-class hotel yon
nrever get a square meal unless you
get tied up on a jury and are forced
by the sheriff, to go to a boarding
house or restaurant, and then you
"bust" yonr stomach and break
your heart beeause the price will
be deducted from your pay. How
often do you eat fried chicken,
fresh butter, cabbage boiled with
home cured meat, fresh potatoes,
onions, lettuce salad, egg-bread,
fresh eggs, pure milk, home-made
jams and jelly, or the other things
so easilv produced on a farm by a
man with energy and sense enough
to produce them? When did you
ever subscribe to a fashion maga-
zine so your wife and daughters
might learn that hoop-skirts and
crinolines had gone out of style, or
that you might wear a stiff starch-
ed shirt when you come to town,
and that new hair cutting methods
had been adopted and the habit of
performing the operation with
bowl had become antiquated?
Why, you big chump, you can do
better than you are doing now
without working half so hard by
getting a job at 90 cents a day
"sniping" on the railroad, and it's
a duty you owe your family and so-
ciety to do it. Why do you keep
on doing as you have been doing
The editor of an exchange sent
out postal cards t9 a large uumber
of married men in his town, and
here are a few responses to the
inquiry. "Why did you ever
marry?"
"Because I didn't have the ex-
perience I have now." B.
'I thought it would be cheaper
than a breach of promise suit."
• . J. '
"Because I was to lazy to work."
, Jack.
"Married to get even with her
mother, but never have." L. V.
'Because Sallie told me five
other men were trying to propose
to her." - Jim.
'I was tired of buying ice cream
and oandies, and going to theatres
and wanted a rest. Have saved
money." L. D.
"Why 1 married? That's what I
have been trying eleven years to
find out." Victim.
'The old man thought eight
years' courting was almost long
enough.," D. H.
"Please don't stir me up."
William.
"Her father threatened to give
me his foot, so I took his daugh-
ter's hand." Y..
"Had difficulty in unlocking the
door at night, and wanted some
one to let me in." Frank.
'1 was lonesome and melancholy
and wanted some one to make me
lively. Sue makes me very live-
ly." Peter.
That's the same fool question
that my friends and neighbors ask
me every day John.
'I wanted a companion of the
opposite sex. She is still oppo-
site." Daniel.
'Because 1 had more money
than I knew what to do with. Now
have more to do than I have
money to do with." Sam.
"Because I asked her if she'd
ha-fs me. She said she tvould. I
think she's got me." Harry.

Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
111., makes this statement, that she
caught cold which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but grew
worse. He told her that she was a
hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine codld cure
her. Her druggist suggested Dr.
King's New Discovery for Con-
sumption; she bought a bottle and
to her delight found herself bene-
fitted from a first dose. She con-
tinue d its use and after taking six
bottles found herself sound and
well; now does her own housework
and is as well as she ever was.
Free trial bottles of this great Dis-
covery at all druggists, large bot-
tles 50c and $1.00.

It would not surprise us to see
wheat become a staple crop in La-
vaca comity, and to see a large
flour mill in operation in one of
the larger towns of the county
within the next two years. The
Yoakum Times says:
"It has at last been proven by
actual experience that wheat cul-
ture can be successfully carried on
in this immediate section. On last
Friday, the writer, upon mvita-
tation of Mr. W. A. Fink, visited
that gentleman's farm a short dis-
tance north of town, and was
shown 23 acres of as pretty wheat
as one would care to look at. The
stand is a most even one and the
grain is now ripe and ready for the
cutting. Mr. Fink figures the
yield at twenty bushels to the acre,
vvhic.h at 80 cents a bushel would
be $16 to the acre or $368 for the
entire crop. The cost of raising
wheat is very little and the labor
of harvesting is not expensive,
while the price paid for threshing
is about 5 cents per bushel. Wheat
should be sowed in October, say
from the middle to the last of the
month, and it can be used for
stock to graze upon during the en-
tire winter months, making excel
lent pasturage. When spring
comes the stock must be taken off
and the wheat left to grow unmo-
lested. It grows fast and of course
requires no attention whatever
until ripe and ready for cutting.
If enough of the farmers in this
section will engage in wheat cul
ture, some one will, purchase i
threshing machine.—Halletsville
Herald.
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is the
Avorst, form of slavery. George D.
Williams of Manchester, Mich.,
tells how such a slave was set free.
He says: "My wife has been so
helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Hitters, she is wonderfully improv-
ed and able to do her own work."
This supreme remedy for female
diseases quickly cures nervousness,
sleeplessness, melancholy, head-
ache, fainting and dizzy spells.
This miracle-working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed.
Only 50 cents. Sold by all drug-
gist.
Man proposes, and then when he
gets by himself and thinks it over
he wonders how he ever could have
made such a fool of himself.

be hard, but it seems smooth to
the victim of his wiles.
