printing business of Orange, but they pay no

\ There’s the whole thing in a nutshell. People

and by descriptive pamphlets and circulars.

Poor Hobson. All his big war talk has been

slightest opportunity. Hobson’s work has not
been in vain, however, though his war talk has
made the whole country sick.
Manager Sam Smith, of the Orange Box
Manufacturing company, is not saying much,
but he is busily engaged in sawing wood. The
box and crate factory is building up a splen-
did trade and is destined soon to bepotae one
of the most important industrial enterprises in
this section. The small factory is a valuable
asset to any town or city. Let’s have more of
them in Orange.
•He Lake Charles Press announces that the
prettiest girl in the world has been located at
New Orleans and has been offered $100 a week
salary to join the “Girl Question” show. Even
if she is not really.the prettiest girl in the
world, that’s certainly fair enough.—Nan An-
tonio Express.
The girl in question accepted the offer and
joined the show, but when the manager insisted
that she must appear on the stage clad in flesh-
ings she rebelled and lost her job.

L. R. Walden every success in the establishment
his school at this place.
To our friend. Col. W. D. Bettis, are we in-
debted for the following contribution to the
Leader editorial columns today: .
We read many of our exchanges,
Yet carinot read them all;
But it’s safe to bet we do not slight
Our friend Bud Weiser’s “Call.”
“Let there be light,” says Mr. Bryan. This
sentiment, at least, will strike a resjwnsive
chord in the breast of Mr. Rockefeller, who is
right there with the goods to furnish the light.

He’s there with the goods to try to elect Taft,
too. That’s the part that’s worrying ns.

speech.
The mounted jwlice of Fort Worth are clam-
oring for shelter for their horses during the
winter and threaten that, if the City Commis-
sion does not provide the necessary shelter they
will apjteal to the ladies of the Civic Federation.
This will bring results, all right.
‘Jack Frost was out in full force this morn-
ing,” says the Yoakum Herald. Jack Frost
was in evidence in Orange also, but it was only
the kind that is put up in cans and used for
baking powder.
Orange needs that Merchants’ Association
about as badly as any place'in Texas. The
leader would iike to see some of the enterpirs-
iug merchants take the lead in {terfecting an or-
ganization of this kind.

QUEER TITLES.
It would be an everlasting disgrace on the
fair name of Texas if the thirty-first legislature
should fail to make the appropriation asked for
for providing additional buildings for the care
of the insane. We cannot believe that our leg-
islators will be ad negligent.

appear on the pages of national history

tbs last the pageantry of a royal court
and creating a numerous nobility.
Among them were the three already
mentioned, and the oddity of the titles
has suggested to many writers the
frlvotousuess of the African character.
lu fact, however, all three names
were those of pieces, the ftrst two bo-

towns of some Importance. This not
being generally known, a misapprehen-
sion has arisen with regard to the
titles themselves, which, however ab-

which were bestowed in Prance and
