Another Convention
Was Also Held Here
The republican ninth senatorial
convention met in executive session
and the following counties were rep-
resented:
Kaufman, 8 votes; Henderson, 0
votes; Navarro, not represented.
The committee requested the chair-
man of the district to come and pre-
side over the session. He, Mr. Hen-
ry Dellums, refuted, after which the
committee organized by electing C.
K. Miller of Henderson as chairman
and 8# W. Younger as secretary.
The chairman called the convention
to order. On motion C. K. Miller was
made temporary chairman of the con-
vention and S. W. Younger temporary
secretary.
As there were no contests before
the convention they accepted the
temporary roll as made by the execu-
tive committee as the permanent roll
of the convention. On motion the
temporary organization was made
permanent.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows:
We, the committee on resolutions,
endorse the administration of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his wise and pat-
riotic course in dealing with Che af-
fairs of the nation.
We also endorse the action of the
Chicago convention in the nomination
of Roosevelt and Fairbanks as the
standard-bearers of the party.
We heartily endorse the adminis-
tration of Cecil A. Lyon as national
committeeman and further, we en-
dorse his re-election for State chair-
man for the next two years.
On motion C. K. Miller of Hender-
son County was elected chairman of
the Ninth Senatorial district and A.
S. Summers of Kaufman County was
elected secretary. After which the
convention adjourned sine die.

Herring Fisheries.
In certain northern countries of
Europe the herring crop decides the
financial condition of the common
people. If it is 2,000,000,000 pounds
there is money to burn; if much
less, there is pinching. The herr-
ing catch of America is worth only
about $ 1.000,000 a year, but is grow-
ing fast, and in time will reach great
proportions. Schools of herring
often cover an area of as much as
twenty-two square mliies, and as
the fishes are so closely packed to-
gether as almost to sustain the
weight of a man. Christ walked
upon the Sea of oaliilec; who
knows that lie did not find sup-
port on a school of fish ? There is
a single firm of fishermen 011 the
Potomac river that has a haul of
seine five miles in length, and its
brine tanks bold at one time 3,000,-
ooo.herring. The trouble with herr-
ing is that they are usually dirty
and repulsive.
Russia a Babel o1 Rsoes.
The Russian population is per-
haps the most mixed of all nations,
and is quite up in large measure of
conquered peoples who still remem-
ber their overthrow with bitterness
Probably not far from one-third of
the whole—from 40,000,000 of the
50,000,000—are true Muscovites.
Around the central Muscovites are
grouped Lapps, Finns, Germans,
Lithuanians, Poles, Little Russians,
Ruthenians, Roumanians, Greeks,
Georgians and Tartars, with Jews
and Gypsies scattered through the
south and west. These are all in
European Russia, and this is noth-
ing to the medley in Asiatic Rus-
sia, where there is an almost end-
less variety of races.- Each of the
races mentioned speaks a different
tongue, and there are at least six
different religions among them,
•without counting sectaries, such as
the Dukhobors. Bitter political hat-
red of Russia burns fiercely among
the Finns, Poles and Armenians;
while symptoms of active revolt are
reported among Georgians and Tur-
comans along the Asiatic frontier.
Her Impression.
The artist was of the impres-
sionist school. He had just given
the las* touches to a purple and
blue canvas when his wife came
into his studio.
"My dear," said he, "this is the
landscape I wanted you to sug-
gest a title for."
"Whv not call it 'Home?' she
•aid after a long look.
"'Home?' Whv?
"Because -there's no place like
it," she replied meekly.

The Fsmily Support
"And what is Perry Pening-
ton doing these days? 1 haven't
heard of him in a long time."
"Oh, he's married and has two
or three little ones."
"Indeed. What is his occupa-
tion?"
"He writes poetry."
"Ah. Who supports the fam-
ily?"
