John McCuIIough's Little Admirer.

Said Mccullough: 81 see and recog-
nize faces, and sometimes become so
much interested in one face that [ watch
it and act to it through the play. Let
me tell you an anecdote illustrating this
habit. Once while I was acting Virginius
In Chicago little gil, whom knew so
well that she called me Uncle John, was
in one of the proscenium boxes. I love
her dearly, and / watched her almost as
closely as she did me. You should have
seen how her face Lit up when I came on
the stage, and how she beamed on me in
the early part of the play, and how hap
by it made her to hear me talking kindly
and lovingly to Virginia. It would have
done you good could you have seen her
clasp her hands with Joy when / rushed
upon the stage and clasped Virginia in
my arms just in time to lead her myself
to the forum, until 7 turned toward her
in facing Virginia for the last time. Sud-
denly / saw her shrink back In terror,
and she followed my look toward the
knife. / saw her terror becoming worse
and worse, and then | gave the fatal stab,
and the curtain fell. / saw her hide her
head in her mothers lap. I felt so
alarmed for her that I went to the box
door to reassure her. On opening it I
found her still hiding her head. Calling
her softly by name, | whispered: Don't
be alarmed; it's only fun. [ only killed
her in fun In Q moment she was run
ming toward me and calling out: 'Oh,
Uncle John was it only fun? She
threw her arms around my neck and
kissed me again and again.

A Conservative Sinister.

The old maid of the period is usually
rich old maid, and her virtues are of
the conservative order.
Such lady was recently addressed by
widower with seven children who de-
sired to marry her.
"Sir," she said, ct would not live in
the house with seven children of my
own, much less anybody else's." The
widower said:
sYou astonish me-" And after lit
tie while: "What am I to do with my
seven children ?"
.Ofer them to some girl in her teens
who doesn't know any BETTER" said the
maiden lady, and the widower said he
believed he would.

LAND AHEAD,
BY KATHARINE LEE BATES,

Upon the arched wave my shallop hung
Her snowy wake in vaporous evening lost,
from crest to nodding crest forever tossed,
Yet, rudderless forever backward flung:
When 10 there came the voice of one who sung.
silver strain, the nighted sea it crossed
And all the waves grew white, as cleaning frost
Lights the November grass. Full sweet it rung
From the far ocean where singer true
Held on the way that Orpheus sailed of old,
Nor half the beauty of her Argo knew,
Nor half the gift of stormy winds and cold,
That crowned her pallid brow with heavy dew.
But bore her onward to the fleece of old

WHEN mans wife dies and the editor
of the local paper prints an obituary
which ends with the words: 1.-The
young husband has met with loss that
can never be replaced" he may appre-
ciate the soothing words at the time, but
about a week after marrying his second
wife he must havea very poor opinion of
the prophesying powers of the editor.

ToYAu, October 26, lsSl,
As | before remarked, this is town Of
tents, i56 miles west of Dallas, and is at
present the extreme western town of the
Texas & Pacific road. Major Stocking has
his private car here, as also A. Brownlee,
contractor and builder of the depots, round
houses and section houses for the company

Colonel A. n, Shipley, of Austin. This
also be the end of the freight lewiston of

Toyah outrivals all other Texas towns,
and is railroad town peculiar TO itself. 1t
is composed almost entirely of saloons and
restaurants; is n rendezvous for gamblers,
pugilists and adopts in the use of fire arms
"a town in which siX-shooters,
dirks, shot-guns, ETC., figure largely
and are carried ready for use at any mo-
ment. Here is found the negro, and some
of nearly every nativity. Here is barber
shop, with its female barber. Here is the
cyprian and the "blind tiger" Here is
the female freighter, who took the contract
| for delivering few barrels of choice whisky

! field for would-be suicides, for those tired
of life, but it has its dull days, when only
the fist and the bottle are used as weapons OF
oilense and defense, when there are merely
threats and brandishing Of fists, when only
a few black eyes and broken noses make up
the bill of damages and dire
vengeance floats only in the air, ready at
any moment to burst AND spread carnage
about. But the above is Il faint picture OF
the worst element of population. On the
other hand, as Toyah has the worst, it also
has many of the best business men, and
most upright citizens of the state-men of
honor, and who, by their integrity, are
achieving Il grand success in business.

pleased to learn that he and his partner
George Il. Hall, are in thu

two of the best and most
popular saloons in the west, one at Toyal

accounts for their houses being the popular

JOHN
res THE SUNDAY HERALD,

ny KATIE Ike
Il love IL, love IL
And who shall dare to chide ne
For loving the name John.
I'm an honest little maiden,
Fresh from a country town;
know you'll take my word for II,
That love the name of John,
Dare you ask me why its music,
Why it wakes living strain2
Where SO many grand old heroes
Have borne the illustrious name.
First of all the Johns I'll mention,
being religiously inclined
Is John, the Holy Baptist
Preaching Jesus to mankind.
There's the noble king of England
All, an Englishman Of state;
And to tell you why like him,
His sweethearts name was Kate.
1t makes me blush to tell You.
How my heart throbs still with pain,
When hear his gentle pleadings
Like some sweet half-sad refrain.
Pity sweetness must be wasted,
When bitters weights hang low;
But poor Kate heard not the accents
Thathe murmurcd soft and slow,
Why talk of these? You know them.
Read their histories from date;
But OF all the Johns illustrious--
I'm to tell you of his fate.
He's not quite such a beauty
As classic pens portray;
He has not the wealth of CrUsus,
As some perhaps might say.
You have seen the sun when bright,
Smiling on world that's gay;
But to see his face, so radiant,
lis as darkness unto day.
Did say that fate ha I destined,
That this light should crown my way,
No, but if your keep my secret,
I've wished il many Il day,
Who can tell me, why its music
Thrills with rapture all my being?
All, / listen for the answer
That is plain to any seeing
