Mayor Patterson s admonition
on the "clean up" idea is very
timely and if heeded will prevent
much sickness this summer.
Let every citizen look well to the
sanitary condition of his premises
An English physician announ-
ces that a newly shaved skin is an
open door for germs, while
another scientist declares that
whiskers breed germs. If both
are correct what is a poor fellow
to do but let the bugs tight itout.

A western woman says that
her husband came home seventy-
eight times late at night and gave
a different excuse each time. We
haven't the address of the gentle-
man, or we would send it to Bob
Gresham, of the Temple Mirror.
This summer is a very fine
tame .for the Belton merchants
to work up their trade territory.
If there is a section of country
that should trade in Belton it is
well for the merchants to give
it their strict attention, and if
there is a public road leading
into town that needs work in
order to make it convenient for
the country people to come to
-town, summer is the time
iget bBsy^fth them**' *
Every town and village should
have their annual celebrations. A
dav should be set apart as a
general holiday when the people
should meet and get better ac-
quainted with their neighbors.
The old fashioned "May day"
that was an occasion of great
interest to our fathers an-J
mothers when they were boys
and girls might be brought
back into fashion to the great
advantage of the people in any
community. The idea may be
hooted at as old-fashioned and
out of date, but there is no'ques-
tion but that we could all be
wonderfully inspired to become
better neighbors if this practice
was universally observed.
r*
At a meeting of the representa-
tives of the agricultural and com-
mercial interests at Port Worth
on last Friday, it was unanimous-
ly agreed that what the great
state of Texas most needed was
fewer laws and better laws.
This was expected, and it is
worth the while of the people to
consider the merit in this idea.
Instead of the present limited
development of our state, it
should be further advanced.
Legislation lias more to do with
the advancement of a states ma-
terial resources than any other
element, and if the laws are an-
tagonistic to capitol it is a dead
sure thing that men with money
will be slow to place it where con-
ditions are unfavorable. We are
not in the least i nclined to criti-
cise the Thirtieth or any other
legislature, but we are firmly
convinced that there are more
damaging laws on the statues
than can be repealed by a half-
doaen legislatures. And the peo-
ple are to£blame for them more
than anyone else, for as a rule
they were embraced in the "plat
form demands" at the instance
of the demagogue backed by the
vote of the people. Instead of
roasting our legislators rather Is
it more appropriate to give your-
self a vigorous kicking. We are
now on the eve of selecting
another legislature, and toomuch
care cannot be exercised as to its
pereonel. And beside, this plat
form demand business is ex-
The Kick Man and Hit Money.
"The richest man in the world
can not soend a penny except by
paying some one for something,"
remarks Current Issue. Simple
as that fact is, it is perpetually
forgotten, and we are harangued
about the "luxury" of the rich,
the orators entirely forgetting
that luxury is only possible bo-
cause a vast army of people are
set to work, and paid for their
work. The rich man is merely a
focus of redistribution, and the
distributing process must go on
all the time; otherwise he can get
nothing at all for his money, and
is as poor as the poorest. The
rich man, it is true, can have a
different suit for every day in the
year; and a young titled coxcomb,
not so long ago declared tliat. no
gentleman could wear the same
suit twice. Far better is the
saying of George McDonald, that
only a gentleman can wear an
old coat gracefully.—Charles
Johnson, in Harper's Weekly.
There is a vast amount of rot
in constant circulation about how
the man with money injures and
oppresses those who have none.
About the only man who has
power to do any positive injury
through money is the plain miser
who collects the actual coin and
hides it away out of use, but his
operations are necessarily limit-
ed and the amount sequestrated
comparatively small. Then he
dies in a short time and his
hoardings get back into circula-
tion in one way or another. Even
the stingy, close-fisted rich man
who loves money too well to
spend it is not nearly so bad as
his neighbors paint him. His
love of what he has makes him
anxious to get more in interest
or profit, so he puts his money
out and those who borrow it use
it to make employmentand trade
The extravagant and wasteful
rich man, while he may be an
enemy to his own well doing, is
really the best frieni of the
general public in the whole
bunch. He makes employment
and trade right and left, and not
infrequently distributes back his
last dollar to the community
through the various channels of
supply and demand.
Just as long as the rich man
-stajs in*bis ootftatr^ a&d: kefens
his money here it can be set
down as on axiom that he is
bound to do a lot of good with it
whether he will or not.- He can't
increase his wealth fast without
risk and enterprise, and risk and
enterprise mean that many dip
from the money current as it
flows. If he increases his hold-
ings more slowly by interest ahd
rentals, others have the use of
his property and the temporary
direction of his money to keep it
by buying and employing labor
and contributing to the general
good by lubricating the wheels
of business.
There is nothing, perhaps, in
modern economics more overes-
timated than the power of the
rich to do harm with their money,
even if they had a general dispo-
sition to do so, which is not true
in one case of ten thousand.

SIMPLE HOME RECEIPT
Mix
at
This Simple Helpful Recipe
Home and Try it. Anyway.
Get from any prescription
pharmacist the following:
Fluid extract Dandelion, one-
half ounce; Compound Cargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces..
Shake well in a bottle and
take a teaspoonful dose after
each meal and at bed time.
The above is considered by an
eminent authority, who writes
in a New York daily paper, as
the finest prescription ever writ-
ten to relieve Backache, Kidney
Trouble, Weak Bladder and all
forms of Urinary difficulties.
This mixture acts promptly on
the eliminative tissues of the
kidneys, enabling them to filter
and strain the uric acid and
other waste matter from the
blood which causes rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with
the afflictions may not feel in-
clined to place much confidence
in this simple mixture, but those
who liave tried it say the results
are simply surprising, the relief
being effected without the slight-
est .injury to the stomach or
other organs.
Mix some and give it a trial.
It certainly comes highly recom-
mended. It is the prescription
of an eminent authority, whose
entire reputation, it is said, was
established by it.

Senator Bailey Speaks.
Staff Special to the Dallas News.
Washington, March 9.—Before
an audience which well attested
his reputation as an orator Sena-
tor Bailey this afternoon spoke
nearly two hours and a half on
currency legislation. Alwavs
when it is announced that Sena-
tor Bailey is to speak there is a
big crowd in the Senate. It was
so today. There were no vacant
seats, except in the diplomatic
gallery and notwithstanding
many who were present in the
beginning left before the end,
there was such a supply of men
and women waiting for the va-
cancies that might, be made in
the galleries that when he con-
cluded his audience was quite as
great as when he began. Fully
one-half of those who heard liiiu
were women. There was also an
unusually large attendance 011
the floor. Few if any of the
Democratic senators were ab-
sent, and most of the Republican
senators were present. In ad-
dition the walls of the chamber
were lined with members of the
House, who stood up throughout
Senator Bailey's speech. If the
size and character of theaudience
were evidence that a notable ef-
fort was expected, the demon-
stration that followed its ending
testified that that expectation
had been realized. Its perora-
tion was a profession of abiding
faith in divine guidance and with
that theme Senator Bailey, in his
concluding words, so played on
the emotions of his hearers that
when the last word fell there was
a spontaneous outburst of ap-
plause which swept the galleries,
while on the floor perhaps fifty
men from both sides of tliecham-
ber and many from the House
surged about him to offer their
congratulations.
Senator Bailey began speaking
promptly at 2 o'clock. The
speech which will make twelve or
fifteen pages in the record, had
not only been written, but print-
ed. Yet Senator Bailey had
memorized it so marvelously
well that not once did he find
it necessary to consult the
proofsh^ets, and, while here and
there were some verbal devia-
tions, the fidelity with which he
repeated it was amazing as a ne-
monic feat.

In a performance of "The Lady of
the Lake" the actor who took the part
of Roderick Dhu was known to be In
pecuniary difficulties. Wheu Itoderl/u
gave the line, "I am Roderick Dhu,"
Fltzjames responded, "Yes. aud your
rent's duo too." On the production of
a piece called "The Spy" the, early
acts showed that it was going to prove
a failure. So wheu at a certain point
a character had to rush On aud shout,
"Five hundred pounds for the spy!"
the author-actor, who was concealed
behind a rock, arose and cried, "It's
yours — copyright, manuscript and
parts;" That was the end of the per-
formance.
When eating takes place on the
stage, the temptations to play tricks
with the food are naturally grpat. In
"Henry V." the leek which that'niml-
tflble braggart Pistol has to eat is
usually made from an apple. But on
one occasion at Sadler's Wells the
Fluellen of tne evening gave him a
real onion, and he had no choice but
to struggle through It, though the
tears coursed down his fat cheeks.—

Saved His Goldfish.
When a Bavarian peasant treats him-
self to a new hat, he does not throw
the old hat away. He just puts the
new hat on top of the old one. The
other day an amusing scene was wit
nessed at the Munich railway station
A peasant who had bought a new hat
and a bowl coutainlng several goldfish
found himself hustled by the crowd
snnriusr at the entrance to one of the
platforms. In the crush the bowl was
broken, aud the fish fell out. For a
moment the peasant knew not what to
do. Suddenly he made up his mind,
lie snatched his two hats from his
bead, and, picking up the lively fish
he put them Inside the old hat, which
he then filled with water at the near-
est water tap. Carrying the Improvised
aquarium, the Ingenious peasant en
tered his train smilingly, but very care
fully.—Munich Cor. Loudon Globe.

Tho Empress Eugenie, whom Napo-
leon III. chose to share Ills throne, had
a ready wit, which although it never
veiled a sneer, often confused those on
whom it was directed. The late I r. T.
W. Evans tells in his reminiscences
tho story of a distinguished senator,
who, on being asked what he thought
of the speech in which Napoleon had ! invited to attend. J. M. Scott,
declared his marriage intention to the ' YV. M.; T. P. Morgan, Secretary,
deputies, replied: ! Belton Chapter, No. 76, R. A. M.,

Some weeks later, at a dinner given
at the Tuileries, this senator was seat-

ing that after having been helped to
the turbot he declined the siuice, said
to him, smiling roguishly:
"Monsieur, I thought It was the sauee

With rare presence of mind the sena-
tor hesitated but a moment.
"A mistake, madam," he said, "for
which I am now trying to make

Facing a Waterspout.
What it means to encounter a water-
spout in the south seas is described by
Beatrice Grimshaw: "First of all, a
black trunk, like an elephant's, began
to feel blindly about In midair, hang-
ing from a cloud. It came uearer and
nearer with uncanny speed, drawing
up to itself as it came a colossal cone
of turbulent sea until the two joined
together in an enormous black pillar

base aud prolialJy a good thousand
feet high, unitiifc as It did the clouds
and the sea below. Across the darken
