The other day, when Vicksburg boy

and came out frst>best, he realized that
something must be done at home, and he
slid into the house and said:
"Mother. you know how good and
kind you have been TO Mrs. B, next
door,
"Yes, have tried to be a good neigh
Dor 10 her."
"Well, do you know that she says you

and that father ought to have a pension
for living with your

the CRATE, on her way to the house to ask
why her boy must be pounded upin that
way, she heard shrill voice calling out:
"vile wretch, don't you enter that gate
or you'll get scalded p
She returned home, aud the young
statesman dropped down under a shade
tree, kicked up his heels and softly
chuckled:
THAT settles her, and now i want to

A Big Cattle Steal

From the Sherman Register, August al
Saturday morning, Officers Douglas and
Potts received information to the effect
that q party Of cattle thieves were in
camp near Howe, in this county, with q
large number of cattle which they had
stolen from the prairies of Denton county.
Procuring a warrant, they started il pur.
suit, and about twelve o'clock Came up
with a body Of cattle which they AFTER
wards ascertained were portion Of those
stolen, but failed to arrest the thTeves-
1t appears that something over one
hundred head were driven through Howe
on Friday afternoon, but that evening
the cattle stampeded and the thieves bad
to gather them again before they could
secure money on them. They had sold
the cattle to Jim Lindsay. of this city,
and the purchase money was to have
been paid Saturday. One Joe Horner.
well known in this city as q rutsan and
desperado, is represented as being the
leader of this band OF daring robbers.
and he had contracted the cattle 10 Lind-
say for lees than one half their value.
About seventy-fiVe bead OF the cattle
were stolen from Mr.. May, who resides
on Hickory creek, in Denton county. and
up to the present time he has not been
able to recover more than half that num-
Der; the others being scattered in the
timber. The officers claius that they
would have secured Horner and his des-
perado confederates, had not one or two
citizens of that neighborhood notified
them of their approach These men who
assisted Horner and his gang to eyads
the vengence Of the law; are well known.
and at the proper time will be arrested
and punished to- the full extent Of the
law.

FOOLS.

or ali the poor foois who inhabit the earth
Fools BY misfortune, or fools from their birth
Rich fools and poor fools, and great fools and
small,
The man who gets drunk is the greatest of all.
The spendthrift who revels in rictous living
In spendin, or losing or lending, or giving,
1, foolish enough; but has not yet sunk
To the level Of him who is constantly drunk.
The niser, eternally starving and slsving;
For what he is earning, or stealing or saving,
May be reckoned fool; but he is not quite
80 foolish IS be who will get on eight"
The msu who will wager, and dicker, and lie
On the toss Of q cent or the cast of die,
You would think IS foolish as foolish could bs
But the drunksrd is even more foolish than he.
Investments in "wiidcat" are mostly Q curse,
Bat investments in whisky is something still
worse,
Tor stocks do not always their fsvors refuse,
But whisky investments are certain to lose.
And 90 I'm convinced Of the truth Of my text,
That of all the poor fools, for this world or the
next,
The rich or the poor, the great or the small,
The man who gets drunk is the greatest of all.

sIIght scratch on the neck. Further up
the alley they cut him in the left side of
the abdomen. He gave them the keys.
They took him up to Leib's porkhouse,
then turned towards the creek and crossed
tile trestle work. They walked him up
the bank of the river to
Second street. On their way he saw two
men ahead of them, but did not know
whether or not they belongen to the same
party. At Second street one of the men
dropped off and the other took him down
as far as Third street, thence in Third to
Main street. At Third and Main they
started diagonaify across the street and
struck the south pavement below Clarke
& Thompson's. They got as far as Miles
saddlery shop next to the bank, when the
second man again came up and whispered
something in the ear OF the other man.
He moved slightly at this point, when
one of the men said: 81 won't shoot you,
it would make too much noise, but I'll
cut you if you move" The bank was
already opened, and the two stepped in,
when he heard somebody lock the door
after them. Some third party locked the
door on the outside. Two men inside
ordered him to open the safe, and on his
refusal cut his coat-sleeve lining and
shirt on one arm. When they found
they couldn't open the. safe. they cut him
slightly in the thigh. He was finally
forced to open the safe, but plead with
them not to take any money away.
After taking the money and when they
were looking for bonds he again begged
them not 10 take any more. They an.
swered: damn the bonds !" They took
two packages Of bonds of 700 each.
One of the men had a black bag under
his coat hanging from his neck. After
taking what they wanted they locked him
up in the safe, locking both of the vault
ed doors.
He tainted and lay unconscious, how
long he did not know. After he was re.
stored to his senses, finding the doors
locked, he went to work to open them.
He found screw hook in the vault
which he took and tried to turn the lock,
but found it was too big to suit. He
then found piece of wood to fit on the
taps, and with this, managed to take of
the first lock. The second lock he man
