will finally perch upon the standard of

Another thing to avoid: Gratuit-

They have no rightto expect it. Office
is inseparabiy connected with salary.
And the salary is what nine out
of ten are after. The candi-
date has as much right to expect his
tailor to keep him in clothing without
charge as to expect his publisher to
devote his paper to his glOri-
fication before the people without
pay therefor. Make the politicians
pay the same as other advertis-
ers. And never allow line Of puff
to appear in your paper without pay
Your merchant or grocer does not ex-
pect to supply your family from their
stores without pay, and they have nc
right expect you to advertise for them
without remuneration. Selling goods
or groceries is their mode of making
a living. Publishing newspaper
is your mode of making a living
They cannot give their goods away
without loss, an. you cannot give
away space in your paper without loss
That which will beggar them will beg
gar you. That's the whole truth of it

"The whole cause of the stagnation

The crops were good, but late in get

unusually healthy, but the feeling Of

that they have been euchred out Of

THELATESTH HERO.
A st. Paul Hack Driver Ahead.
lst. Paul Pressl

lSt. Paul Press.
Upon arrival of the evening train
from Sioux City, a young woman ap-
piled to a hack driver named VIM.
Harper for conveyance. He inquired
about her destination, was under the
impression that her reply indicated the
name of well-known house of Hire
pute, but judging from the modest ap-
pearance of his passenger, he conclu-
ded that one Of his senses had practi-
cally deserted him, and that he must
have been mistaken. After assisting
the girl to her seat, other passengers
mounted his hack, and William Har-
per started of, determined in the
meantime to convey the other passen-
gers to their destination before he
ventured a second time to unraVel the
mystery of his first application. The
determination was followed strictly,
and when alone, Harper again inquired
where she wished to go. The reply
this time was conclusive, and Harper
felt restored confidence in his senses
of hearing. The girl seemed innocent,
and Harper ventured an inquiry as to
the reason which prompted her to vol
UNFAIRLY choose the life which was
suggested in her order. She wep'i BIT
terly, and told her history. Thus far
she was guiltless of any wrong, butshe
had been denied peace in her own
home, and had been ordered away from
the shelter of its roof Her fathers
name and residence were frankly given.
Repeated applications for work had
been made, and she weepingly con-
fessed that it seemed at last as if there
were no other resources than the one
indicated, except to die from starva-
ton In land teemingwith plenty In
her desperate resolve she had decided
upon the first alternative. William
Harper had lived half a lifetime. and
his past experience now enabled him
to tell her something which she ey-
identity had not thought Of--the dis
honor of her youth, the hopelessness
of middle age, and the death ofan out
east. He believed her story, and a
great sympathy warmed the soul Of the
honest man. Driving to the door of
the establishment indicated, Harper
stopped and informed his passenger
that she might enter if she insisted up
on that course, but she should not do
so if she preferred another and better
life. TO which he could direct her steps.
Said he:
II will drive you TO hotel, and pay
your way until you can obtain work,
and an honest and honorable living.
You shall not starye, if / can help
you !"
The girl joyfully accepted the prop
osition Of her good angel, who had
unfolded his Christian nature by the
side of the hack. Toshorten the story,
Harper took her to the hotel and
drove home. The girl had informed
him that she was brought up iii the
Catholic faith, and Harper at once laid
the story before Rev. John Ireland.
Steps for the girls benefit were imme-
diately taken, and through the good

ly urges the proprietoy of abolishing

For the Chronicle.
TO MISS K.


May sunbeams rest upon the stream
On which thy bark of life is driven,
And rosy hope around thee gleam
To light thy way TO heaven.
And though ne'er again may gaze
Into thy bright, bewitching eyes,
Still often will think of thee,
AS stars light up the evening skies.
When wave on wave of cruel time
Shall drive our storm-tossed bark apart,
Theshought that once your love was mine
Will cheer my sad and lonely. heart.
The mem'ry of those ''bygone hours"
That like a dream have passed away,
To me will be a wreath of flowers
On which the dews OF even lay.
And it will still forever bloom,
When all the deeting scenes are past,
In perennial beauty to the tomb,
And cheer my life unto the last.
May sunbeams rest upon the stream
On which thy bark OF life is driven,
And rosy hope around thee gleam
To light thy way to heaven.

TEXAS In THE CENSUS.

From the advanced sheets of the
census reports we have obtained some
interesting figures bearing upon the
condition and progress of Texas as re-
CARDS agriculture The whole area of
the State is estimated at 237 ,504 square
miles, 156 ,002, ,504 acres. This is twice
and one-half times the combined area
of New York and Pennsylvania, more
than three times as large as all New
England, considerably larger than
France ann CorsicGstogether, and not
much smaller than the entire Austrian
Empire.
OF this immense area is, 8,396,523
acres only was even included in the
farms at the time the census was taken
and as the land so included, 1854, 1886
acres, was improved, the remaining
Is, ,431 ,687 acres embraced within farms
was about equally divided between
woodland and prairie, bottoms, or up
land not timbered.
The average size of farms was 301
acres, as against 59f in 1860, and 942in
in 1850, showing a great increase in
the number of small farms. The total
number of farms in 1870 was 81 ,125, as
against 1891 in 1860, and 12,198 in
1850 The increase in twenty years,
therefore, has over fve-fold.
In 1870 there were:
13,494 farms of between 10 and 20
acres.
24,620 farms of between 20 and 80
acres.
1O,890 farms of between 80 and 100
acres.
6,2s6 farms of between 100 and 800
acres.
sos farms of between 500 and 1000
acres.
Considerably more than fve-sixths
of all the farms in the State were be-
tween three hundred and one hundred
acres in size. The increase in the
number of farms has been far more
rapid. during the last three years since
the taking of the census, and the ten
dency to a decrease of size, and as
consequence toward better average
of cultivation, has been more and
more marked.-Forneys Press.

WHICH IS THE BEST {?
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND

of their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sin yeqrs, while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
twice that number, though having existed for
tpcnty gears. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one per minute,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in need of a first
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready TO pay the full price at once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing an inferior ma
chine, at less cost, because machine of some
kind is really needed in every family. And
then again some say, 81 will get me cheap
machine now; it will perhaps do my work
at present, and viii learn to run a machine,
and sometime I will get better.n To all,
both high and low, wewould say: When you
select Sewing Machine you should be as
particular as you need TO be in selecting a
family horse. See that it has reputation
unexccptional see that il ia made for end,tr-
aace; see that il is sound; see that it is always
ready 10 go; see that il has no bad tricks; see
that it can do all kinds of work see that it
is in good health, 50 that it will not need CON
slant doctoringj see that you get one yon can
depend upon to do all the work, and do it
just when you need it done and above all don't
buy q balky horse, nor q bdlky machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and constant source Of trouble. Many of
what are called selling points ina machine are
simply frivolous, and intended to tickle the
fancy of those who are sold. 1t is no great
recommendation in a horse for family use that
il can walk on three legs, and SO useless tricks
in Sewing Machine should be avoided =
Substantial excellcnc;es only can stand the
test of time and use The Howe Machine has
stood the test, and to-day over four hundred
thousand are in use throughout the civilized
world. II is mol sold at an adodnce Of
Fifteen Dollars over New York Prices,
like some of its competitors, but is offered on
such easy terms that persons Of moderate in
come can obtain one by paying small monthly
'instalments, and thus in time become pos
sessed of machine that is not cheap in any
sense of the word, but one that will earn its
cost many times over, and bca constant source
of relief and comfort
