The PRINCE of Wales is good fellow. Not
SO soldierly. perhaps, but every bit as good
on sewing healthy crop of wild oats as
Prince Hal Of England's early days, before
that youth was gathered into the royal fold
and spoiled by settling down as king. AT
the recent grand dance given at the Roths-
childs', in Hamilton Palace. London, the
prince came early and danced till long past
daylight. That sort of democratic loyalty will
serve Wales some Of these days, for he won't
sigh after the bauble his mother wears which

shillings. Anyhow great many of US will

Gov. Davis as Candidate for Congress.
The 9TH. or Galveston district, is prolific
with candidates of all shades of politics, and
in order to bring the contest down to tangible
basis between the bourbon and progressive
candidate. Gov. Davis has been earnestly
solicited to become a candidate in that district
Tor congress with assurances that insure sue
cess. But Gov. Davis lives in this, the 10th
district, and cannot bring himselfto the point
OF deserving us and finding softer place in
the 9TH.
Gov. Davis has been solicited by men of all
parties to become candidate for congress in
this district. and his candidacy will, of course,
bring to him the solid republican vote, no
matter how he may run.
ne 10Th district must put its best foot for
ward; we have interests that need the foster
ing care OF the governments; to send a demo-
crat to congress. hamp-red with his platform
and required to play hypocrit in order to Sc

Davis will 60 unhampered by party oblipa-
tons, at the same time his high standing with
the administration and with the dominent
party would give him great weight in pushing
the wants of the 10th district and of the 9TH

great service by electing Governor Davis to

The Early Days Of Printing

There is an odd story about Faust.
the associate Of Gutenberg, the inventor
of printing, which, whether true or
alse, we'll illustrates this. As soon as
the Bible, which these two pioneers oi
the alt had printed, was complete
Faust took a number Of copies to Paris
to sell. The first copy he sold to the
king for $50 crowns, and another TO the
archbishop for 600 crowns, aud to less
lllustrious to less worthy persons he
sold other copies for much smaller sums
each one thinking that he possessed a
marval of penmanshlp. 81 delighted
was tic archbishop with his purchase
that he took it to the king. who, 10 EN-
ulation, produced his volume. ln spite
of differences in the great initial letters,
which were painted by hand, the text
IN both was found to be identical, down
to the smallest details, which would be
impossible in books written by hand.
Other copies, too, it came to be known
had been sold. There was no way oi
accounting tor the mystery except by
magic, and poor Faust was committed
to stand his trial for sorcery, and was
Imprisoned. Oaly upon full dlsc.os-
ure of bis process of printing, which
had hitherto been kept jealousy secret,
did he obtain bis lnerty, and this he did
not long enjoy. dying shortly afler ol
the plague, before he could return TO his
own country.

Sowing the Tares.

AEprisoner in the penitentiary, who heard
Mr.. Moods remarks last Sunday, retired
after the discourse to a cell and soon emerged
with verses hastily written in the meantime
which had been suggested by the discourse,
and handed them to Mr.. Moody, who, in the
afternoon had them read at Maryland In
stitutc, as follows;
Sowing tars when it might have been wheat
Pluckinc the bud of lifes wreath all COM
plete;
The night sinks down, amid darkness and
fears,
While we are so cruelty sowing the tares.
Sowing the tares of malice and spite.
Words of black import Plutontan night;
We might have sOwed roses amid hie's sac
cares,
But we turned from their beauty to sowing
the tares
Sowing the tares-how dark the black sin'
Minelinp a curse with life's sweetest hymn
Needing no anguish, mo piteous prayers
While we were so cruelty sowing the tares'
Sowing the tares to bring sorrow down
That robs of its Jewels lile's fairest crown;
Turning to silver the once golden hairs
That grew whittier and whittier as sowed the
tares.
Swing the tares under cover of night,
When we might have sowed joys CHEEKY and
bright
Oh heart, turn to God, with repentance and
prayers,
And plead for forgiveness for sowing thC
tares.

A New Fuel In Iowa

Frank Alexander, one Of the propre-
tors of the inhammablo shale mine late
ly discovered in Iowa. IN answer TO u
question about the mine, said that
the burning qualities Of the rock were
discovered By piece thrown out by a
blist falling ipto a fire which lde work
men had near the mouth Of the shalt.
The shaft was sunk ia search Ut coal.
This was about three weeks ago. Some
of the shale had been tried in coal
stoves aud worked well. A pie Ot
some three bushels of the stuff was set
on fire out of doors anl burned freely
There were live embers lett yentytour
hours after the fire was kludled. Mr..
Alexander said that on his return
wagon load of this new iutl would he
hauled to the Milwaukee road, where is
will be tested as fuel for engines. The

is a ravine within few rods Of the RI
yer. The shale Is found thirty six teel

slate, and under 1t block OF earth.
that is neither clay nor loan. The bed
of shale could be traced along the river
bluff for several miles. but, excepting
in one place, was not ss thick as where
found in the shaft. A piece of the
shale about as big as hickory nut had
been tried in retort oy Yankton
scientist and found to contain three
drops OF petroleum. The inaammable
property of the shale came from this
oil. A'smal quantity OF oil was fosnd
in the ar:esian well when the shale
was being penetrated, and the same
was noticed at Yankton and Ponca. A
small piece of the shale which Mr..
Alexander had in his pocket was shown
1t looked gray aud grltless, like COM
mon shale, only it had greasy look
and touch something like cannal coal.
The only foreign mineral that showed
were specks of iron pyrltes. Further
tests of interesting fuel will be awaited
with interest.
