Opinion OF a Shining Light.

Ex-senator Tabor is shining light
of Republicanism. Ever since he pur-
chased the handle to his name he has
felt himself great party leader. What
were Benton'S thirty years in the United
States Senate compared with Tabor's
thirty days?
Tabor is naturally an, enthusiast.
Whether he goes into mining, matri-
mony, divorce or politics, he always
wants to ''make Rome howl" He pro-
posed to Senator David Davis to per-
form that feat on joint honeymoon,
all at his own expense, but the Illinois
bridegroom declined. Now Tabor con-
centrateS his efforts on the Presidential
question and booms Arthur. When
asked by a World reporter whom the
Colorado Republicans favor for their
standard bearer in lS84-"Chester A"
answered the ex-senator. Then he pro-
ceeded to show why Chester A. had
a better prospect of carrying off the
nomination than any other man.
Well, ''Chester A." or, as his New
York chums call him, "Chet," is a fit
ting nominee for the fraudulent Repub-
lican party. He is a Civil-service re-
former who was turned out of office by
Republican Executive, Secretary of
the Treasury and Senate for malfea-
sance. A non-partisan President who
was Johnny OBrien's predecessor as
manager of the New York machine.
An honest man who aided Dorsey in
purchasing Indiana. Ohio and New
York in 1880, and boosted of the sue
cess of the corruption. A General who
never smelt powder or attacked any
thing more dangerous than belmont
co dinner.
What more fitting candidate could
sae Republican party find than "Ches-
ter A."
Is he not in the direct line with the
sort of men nominated by the Republic
ans, with one exception, ever since it
had an existence.

The editor of the Christian COM
monUedLth, being asked if it is right for
Christians to read novels, answers as
follows: eve do not see any more
wrong in reading a novel than in read
ing anything else, provided that novel
is worth reading at all. Truth may be
set forth in fiction in very forcible
way. The parallels of the New Tesla
ment are for the most part doubtless
constructed with imaginary characters,
but they are for the purpose of teaching
some important truth. When a novel
does the same thing it may be read with
profit. Still, we do not recommend the
reading of novels where the tendency is
to destroy the taste for more substan-
tial reading"

ABILENE REFLECTOR
80 THE GAY YOUNG MIN FROM
TOWN"

With fork in hand one summer day,
Making feint of tossing hay,
Inc gay young man who came from town
1alked with d maiden small and brown,
With hazel eyes and chestnut hair
AND quiet way and modest air;
Nor did he seem to care or know
That her blush was quick and voice was low,
For merely to fiirt with the maiden brown
Was the aim of the gay young man from town.
At incoming next the young man sat
Beneath an apple tree-sour at that
And chatted with Susy such her name)
About the city from whence he came,
Its long, wide avenues, buildings vast
us ease and luxury unSurpasSeu;
y lille she, with a bashful air and shy,
Dropped low each eyelid over its eye,
A deep flush reddening features brown
AT words OF the gay young man from town.
Some days he had spent in this rural spot
Where health was plenty, and style was not;
Had left his club and his friends behind
For life that was true and unconfined,
With study dhe latest novel; worn,
With less of his hunting-dOg forlorn,
And because of a sad dispute he had
With his " gOvernOr'-thus he styled his dad.
All this he explained to the maiden brown,
with sigh, this gay young man from town.
First days, then weeks. and where Susy went
i he steps OF the gay young man were bent,
AND sentiment followed flirting then,
AS CHANGED to many man of men:
For he found his pulses quicken and stir
Whenever he saw or thought of her.
ana learned alone 10 dream and sigh,
Or Stammer and blush when she was nigh;
The eyes and blush of the maiden brown
Had captured the gay young man from town.
SO he told his love, and as he bent
In hope and fear to ask consent,
He told her the real reason why
He hal cast his home and kinsfOlk by:
His father had babe him settle in life,
And had chosen for him Il proper wife,
WHO did not stand on her worth alone,
With rich old father, and cash of her own"
But he fed from her and his fathers frown,
And found his fate affair from town.
The maiden listened well the while
And over her features came smile.
Her father she told him. had plan
To make her wife to gay young man
- Who did not stand on his worth alone,
With a rich old father and cash of his Own;"
Reputed he was a handsome catch;
But she objected to such a match,
And, afraid TO face her fathers frown,
Had fed to her old nurse here from town.
He stared; she smiled. Around her waist
His arm in loving way he placed.
. In spite of will we must confess
The old folk triumph, nevertheless;
1t seems ran from love away,
And lived to love another day;
And, plighted. going back again.
Our sires will laugh at uS-what then?
lis better far to laugh than frown'-
Were the words of the gay young man from
town.
