story: managing variety show In Texas
isn't the pleasantest occupation in the world
II all the cowboy patrons are like one whose
mash was a chair sweater in Marshall.
Catering the place one night considerably
under the influence of brine, he called to
bis love in stentorian tones: Mary. get
your buds on and come with me- 'Sh-h-hp
said Mary. 'Sh-h-h, nothing, was the
lovers response. You jest tog up quick
erin hi, or III douse those glims.'
1nI be through in an hour urged Mary,
pacifcately. This ehow'll be out sooner
than that was the cowboys answer, as he
pulled his barker and began shooting the
tips off the side lights, He had Just .emptied
bis sweapin,' and was about loading up
again, when the frightened audience was
treasured by the stage manager stepping on
the stage, and saying: Mary, you are ex-
cused for the remainder Of the evening. Go
dress right awaY.'' This story may be true,
as Marshall Is the champion Radical county
of Texas. Still, even under these circum-
stances, IT. must be remembered that the
Chicago TTi6une'S mission is to scare of I'm
migrants from the South, lest this highly
favored section should eclipse the West in
population.
The Cincinnati Commercial calls attention
to the fact that the widow and two children
of the adopted son of Andrew Jackson are
now living in state of restitution on the
Hermitage" plantation in Tennessee. The
Hermitage is owned by the State OF Ten
nesee, and the Jackson family, owing to
their extreme poverty, are simply tenants at
will on the place. "To such straits have
they been reduced" says the Commercial,
"that they have seriously c0nte mplated the
sale OF the souvenirs about the house which
have so much contributed to making II his
toric." Commenting upon this, the New
York Tribune says: "Mrs. Jackson was for
years The mistress of the White House, and

ly attached to her, and that 1t was owing to
her example and precepts that late In
life he openly professed the Christian reli
gion. The country has an opportunity to
come to the relief of this nicely historic
family in q manner peculiarly appropriate
The papers of Jackson, which since 1913
have had varied aud rather remarkable
experience-for many years there where
abouts was absolutely unkuown-are now
owned by the JaclSsons, and can be pur-
chased BY the United States. They com
prise the records of the Generals cam
paigns of the Creek war; the defense Of New
Orleans and the Florida invasion, and a
large number of other documents of related
interest We think 1t will be generally
agreed that the government ought to own
these papers. 1t will also be generally
agreed that it is discreditable ID American
generosity and patriotism that the family Of
Andrew Jackson should be allowed to know
what want IS little less talk and little
more turkey for the Jacksons at h OF
January celebrations would be In order.'
