own the Santa Fe road and that
it will never be operated beyond
Richmond. The road is owned
in Galveston and we predict that
it will never pass into the hands
of the managers of the Sunset
route, but that it will be COM
pleted to Bolton long before
Waco gets out of the clutches
of the Central, and that from
Bolton it will be continued until
it taps the Texas Pacific which
will be extended towards the
Pasifc coast.

THE Dallas He,ald says at is
humiliating to see the lower and
appellate court of Texas becom-
ing subjects of ridicule and con-
tempt. They have turned so
many criminals loose, respect
for them has been lost"
The trouble is not with the
appellate, but with the lower
courts. The lower courts, by
their rulings, have their decis-
ions reversed. The remedy is
in having better district judges
and prosecuting attorneys. The
salaries now paid district judges
and prosecuting attorneys will
not secure frst-class talent. 1t
is fallacy to expect frst-class
talent for second or third rate
pay.

Only a Printers Dream.

A printer sat in his easy chair, his
boots were patched and his coat
thread bare, and his face looked
weary and worn with care. While
sadly thinking of business debt, old
Morpheus slowly round him crept,
and before he knew it he soundly
slept, and sleeping he dreamed he
was dead, from trouble and toll his
spirit had fed, and that not even a
cow bell tolled forth the peaceful
rest of the cow-hide sole. AS he
wandered among the shades, that
smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he
shortly observed an iron door that
creakingly hung on hinges ajar, but
this entrance was closed with red
hot bar, and Satan himself stood
peeping out, waiting for travellers
thereabouts, and thus to the passen-
ger printer spoke:
"Come in my dear; it shall cost
you nothing, and never fear. This
is the place where l cook the ones
who never pay their subscription
sums; for though in life they may
escape, they will find when they're
dead it is too late; will show you
the place where I melt them thin,
with red hot chains and scraps of
tin, and also where I comb their
head with broken glass and melted
lead, and if of refreshment they only
think, there's boiling hot water for
them to drink; there's the red hot
grindstone to grind his nose, and the
red hot rings to wear on his toes,
and if they mention they don't like
fire I'll sew up their mouth with red
hot wire; and then, dear sir, you
should see them squirm, while l roll
them over and cool to turn"
With these last words the printer
awoke, and thought it all a practical
joke; but still at times so real did it
seem, that he cannot believe it was
all dream; and often he thinks with
a chuckle and grin, of the fate Of
those who save their tin and never
pay the printer.

Girls, Read This.

The time has passed when woman
must be pale and delicate to be inter.
esting-when she must be totally
ignorant of all practical knowledge
to be called refined and high-bred-
when she must know nothing of the
current political news of the day, Or
be called masculine and strong-mind-
ed. 1t is not a sign of refinement or
high birth to be sickly and ignorant.
Those who affect anything of the
kind are behind the times, and must
shake and air themselves mentally
and physically, or drop under the
firm strides of common sense ideas,
and be crushed into utter insigniti-
canoe. In these days an active,
rosy.faced girl, with brain quick and
clear; warm, light heart; a temper
quickly heated at intended insult or
injury, and Just as quick to forgive;
whose feet can run as fast as her
tongue, and put her out of breath;
who is not afraid of freckles, nor to
breathe the pure air Of heaven unre-
strained by the drawn curtains of a
close carriage; and above all, who
can speak her mind and give her
opinion on important topics which
interest intelligent peoples the
true girl who will make good wo-
man. Even tops and dandies, who
strongly oppose women's rights, like
u woman who can talk well, even if
she is not handsome.

The Clothes Line.

Come now, what internal barbara.
ty is this-leaving the clothes-line
out after dark A great deal of fun
ny comment has been made upon
the custom by thoughtless people,
but it is a most serious matter, and
it is high time the tomfoolery was
abolished. We are just as ready as
anybody to see the funny side of
any thing, but we have ceased to see
anything amusing in being unox-
pectodly sawed across the neck or
raspcd across the face by a clothes.
line. 1t is time there was a legisla-
tive enactment either to hang clothes-
lines sixty feet above the earth, or
make leaving them out after night
fall a States prison ofIense.
II is a most incomprchensiblc fact
that clothes.lino is always hung
across the gardon-path. If the yard
was ten miles square and path two
feet wide crcpt along close to the
fence, and tho woman had but eight
feet of line, she would manage TO
cover the path. Whether this is be-
cause she is porvorse, or cannot help
it, VIC do not know, We only know
that it is an appalling evil. No
home circle is safe where this custom
prevails. 1t matters not how good.
naturcd n man is, it matters not
how carefully he has been educated,
it matters not how lofty and noble
arc his aspirations--tho moment n

chin, especially If he has n pan of
ashes in his arms, that moment he
sinks with awful velocity to the lev.
ol of the brute, and proceeds to act
out the conditions thereof at once
