CH1DLREN OLDEST FASHIONS. '
( hildren are one of the oldest fashions there:
arr writes 1.. S. Martin in Harper's Magazine fori
January. There is an impression that they have
changed considerably but I suspect that much of j
it would crumble under penetrating examination.
The particular children that chalk-mark the post
of our brown-stone steps and the outer wall of thr
basement do not strike me as being newfangled.
I didn I chalk-mark anybody's brown-stone front
Mrp vshc-n 1 wa five or seven. Why? There i
were none convenient for that purpose. But my'
mother's copy of Cruden's Concordance bound in
calf still bears the pin scratches with which I em-
bellished its smooth side surfaces. I think I got
the slipper for that just a a reminder that it was
an impolite art. 1 can t remember the slipper but
something fixed the impolicy of those pin scratches
in my mind and I suppose it was the slipper.
That was very muc h the same sort of childish
achievement as chalk-marking our front steps; aj
little more wanton and lihould -hav-lt nnwn. I
ish because the chalk marks came off and the
scratches didn't but plenty like enough to keep a
contemporary grown-up person related to the
chalk mark children. We are the same family.
My household acquired a puppy awhile ago the
first in a long time. I have noticed that he also
belongs to this large family of childhood. I guess
all (hildren are old-fashioned. I guess they are
the true conservatives that keep the race from be-
ing improved off the earth. I gues if you dig
down a little into any child you will find much the
same deposits pirate gold marbles dolls wea-
pons chalk and all such tribal treasures as made
Coventry Patmore weep to find them in his own
son I hey are all old-fashioned.

AND NOW FOR GREATER THINGS
o
I he great Panhandle of Texas and its aspiring
metropolis face a new year with renewed confi-
dence strengthened sinews heightened vision and
that indomitable spirit which will assure the great
est year of achievement in the history of this sec-
tion and city.
The pood and achieving year which has just
passed into rec orded history was marked by steady
and substantia progress throughout the length and
breadth of this most favored and potential corner
of the Texas empire.
Advance has been made along all lines agri
cultural commercial educational and moral. The
forward industrial movement has been notable
Not in any sense of the mushroom variety but

A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder
Dr. Wm Sedgwick Saunders Medical Officer of
Health of the City of London Eng. was good
enough to say that a long and universal experience
has proved a cream of tartar powder the most effi-
cient safe and economical making food which could
not be deleterious to the most delicate stomach.
In England the sale of baking powder
containing alum is absolutely prohibited.
WHEN BUYING BAKING POWDER READ THE LABEL
velopment of this good city and great country at
heart.
The year 1912 has shown what the virgin soil
of the Plains will produce. The harvests have
been abundant in variety and in such proportion as
to tax the shipping facilities of the railroads tra-
versing this territory. In Amarillo the year has
been accorded a farewell musicale in which the
song of the hammer and trowel had leading place.
On every hand residences from the comfortably
modest to the palatial are rising to completion. New
and important wholesale concerns have established
branch houses here. installing immense and com-
plete stocks. Through the veins of trade run the
new quick blood of a fighting optimism.
All significant and prophetic of greater things
to be of a larger and more glorious achievement
just ahead. In this achievement every citizen of
this city and of the cities of the Panhandle and
Plains will have part. Let every man unite with
his neighbor in a mutual determination to make of
this good year one in progress and general ad-
vancement in keeping with the big Western spirit
which is drawn from this soil and sun and air. All
together for 1913.

Cip Castro should at least be allowed to come
ashore long enough to have a new picture taken.
