HOUR CHANGED FOR OPENING
Citizens’ Ticket Polling Good Vote
and Believed to Be Winning By a
Large Majority—Much Interest Is
"Manifested In Today’s Voting.
Today’s bright, sunshiny weather
brought out the voters eariy this
morning, and at 10:30 o’clock one
hundred votes had been cast. Quite
a number of the fair sex were among
the early voters.
The polls were opened at 8 o’clock,
although the published notice of the
election gave the hour of opening the
polls at 9 o’clock and the closing at V
p. m. As a result of this early open
ing of the polls Jeff Devinney and E.
C. Keesler were not in attendance,
and J. D. Clark and Howard Conrad
were chosen to fill the vacancies.
On the streets everything was
quiet. Little gatherings on the cor
ners discussed the political questions
without heated arguments, and there
was little to indicate that a battle at
the polls was on.
While there is no means of know
ing how the individuals voted, the
partizans of the Citizens’ ticket are
confident, and the ticket appears to
be elected by a substantial majority.
In the vicinity of the polls every
thing is as quet as a Sunday School

Up to moon there was no indication

While there is nr means of telling
whom the voters east their ballots

SCHOONER (JOES DOWN IN GULF
Bejxirted that, Vessel Carried Eiglrt
Hundred Rifles and a Quantity of
Ammunition for the Villa borces
in Mexico.
BROWNSVILLE, TEX, April4.—
The schooner La Province, with a
Mexican crew aboard, went aground
today in a storm off the Mexican
coast south of the mouth of the Rio
Grande, according to the local Unit
ed States Custom House here.
It was reported that the vessel car
ried 800 rifles and a quantity of am-i
munition, and that members of the
crew had been arrested by Mexican
soldiers and were being brought to i
Matamoros, opposite here.
Japanese Needlewomen.
The daughters of the land of flowers j
sometimes curiously reverse European ]
methods. They needle their thread in- j
stead of threading their needles, and |
Instead of running their needle through
the cloth they bold it still and run the 1

friend that the impulse of her Japanese
maids is always to sew on cuff frills

Two Important Matters.
“Now, Katie, do you know enough to
keep your mouth shut?" asked the
fashionable woman of the girl she was
about to engage.
“Well, ma’am, I know enough to all
right, but the question is. Do 1 get
enough wages to encourage me to?”—

TWO FACED JANUS.
He Wee the Ancient Sun God ae Weil
*t the God of War,
Poor old Janus! Do yon know how
shamefully posterity has maligned
him? You bave heard all your life that
January was named for the Roman
god Janus and thut Janus was the god
of war, hence the first mouth of the
year must be turbulent. Or perbajra
you have gone deeper Into the slgnlfi
rance of the first month's name and
have been told that It was given the
honor of heralding that gory god be
cause he had two faces, one looking
Into the past and the other looking into
the future, as the first month of the
year naturally would do. But through
It all you have held rigidly before you
the fact that he was the patron, the
devotee, perhaps even the Instigator of
war.
As a matter of history, Janus was a
venerable and thoroughly established
deity before the little hand of Trojans
carried eastern culture to Italy, when
the primitive Italians had not begnn to
suspect that war was an institution
which called for a "goat" War needed
no justification or excuse. Men fought
because that seemed the only thing to
do. As for JnnuB. he was their great
est sun god. He presided over the ris
ing and setting of the sun. and hence
he was the god who looked after the
propitious beginnings and happy end
ings of nil undertakings. He was rep
resented with two faces, which looked
to the east and the west. His temple
In Rome was closed only in time of
peace, and as there seldom was peace
It was usually open. Hence he was
called the god of war.—St. Louis Globe
Democrat
TRIBUTE TO THE MULE.
With All His Faults He Is a More or
Less Noble Character.
The mule is singularly free from the
ills to which horseflesh is heir. He has
more days’ work In him In 305 consecu
tive days than any farm animal or
farm engine. He requires less feed
when at work than any horse that can
approach his capacity, for when he 1b
idle he can forage successfully where
the draft horse finds the picking too
slim. He takes pot luck with any
owner cheerfully and keeps fit upon it
In peace the mule is man's most
faithful servant, although the gentlest
of his kind is not entirely free from
original sin and the oldest may experi
ence unaccountable sporadic outbreaks
of devilment.
In war the mule retains his character
as a hard toiler, a good Bcout and a
homely figure about whom the poets
and painters at the front do not grow
enthusiastic. Although he is unsung
when living and not greatly honored,
he is not unwept when at thirty or be
yond he lies down, sighs peacefully
rather than regretfully and gives up
his Spartan spirit
If there is a hereafter for animals
the mules’ paradise is a series of Ely
slan fields with fences that only a good
jumper can clear, with colts to chase,
with something alive and preferably
two legged to kick and with plenty of
rough, plain victuals and a few goats
to play with In sportive moods and ne
gro drivers not brutal, yet not too in
dulgent for human compannionship.—
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Portuguese and Codfish.
It is an interesting fact that the fish
ermen of northern Portugal started
and developed the fishing industry on
the “banks” off the northern coast of
America, and, though they now send
fewer ships, their taste for salt cod
from Newfoundland Is unabated—in
fact, it is a national Portuguese dainty.
It is found in every little grocery shop,
hard and brow-mas a board. A number
of Portuguese have made their homes
on the islands to the south of the main
land of Massachusetts, and there the
dark eyes of the Iberian maiden, raven
locks and a certain picturesque element
In dress are not infrequent. ThiB con
nection with Portugal dates back many
years, the ships of Marthas Vineyard
bridging the distance over sea and re
turning with Portuguese ciews.—Ex

Royal Nicknames.
Louis XIV. was “Le Grand Mo
narque" His court was the model for
European princes.
Louis Philippe was the “CltlBen
King;'’ at one time he was “King
Smith,” the name he assumed when he
escaped from France
Mary, queen of Scots, was the
“White Queen."
Mary of Modena, wife of James II.,
was the “Queen of Tears."
The “Nine Days’ Queen” was Lady
Jane Grey.
Christian III. of Denmark was the
“Father" of hla people.
Somewhat Confusing.
“And how is grannie, Brian?” asked
the kind friend.
"Ohi she’s better," replied Brian.
“The day before yesterday the doctor
said that she might get up the day aft
er tomorrow, and yesterday was to
morrow, and today is the day after to
morrow. So she’s up today T'

“Are these eggs fresh?" Inquired the
skeptical customer testily.
“Oh. yes, sir,” replied the attentive
but inexperienced waiter reassuringly.
