He Laughed Out.

He was from the east, and if he was
not an ex-detective he had at least a
right to be called a philosopher. He
was buzzlng around the Third street
depot the other day with a suspicious
looking young man, and making great
show of a fat wallet, and finally the
special officer stepped up.to him and
said:

He will leave the tram at the first sta
tion after. He will have no money, no
friends, and be mad enough to bust
when he sees my trick. I'm just crack
ing my sides over the way his chin will
drop when he opens the stolen wallet" !"
About an hour after, when the train
had departed the officer was surprised
to see the joker still hanging around,
and this time alone.
"Then you didn't go to Chicago"
"Say," answered the man as he came
closer, "that chap wasn't after my
money, after all. He simply wanted my
watch. and III be hanged if he hasn't
got it. Where's the chief of police"

Setting Hens.

This is the season when hens run
mad and will not be comfolted unless
they can hide away somewhere and SIT
day and night on a wooden nest egg or
an old door-knob.

There is a movement in foot in Mon
tana to establish a town somewhere in
the neighborhood of the mouth of the
Judith, to be called Giantville. The
programme is to secure 800 acres of
land, to divide the same into town lots
and streets, establish laws and regu-
lations allowing only "six-footers" to-
obtain possession of any of the lots, and
allowing no female thereon below the
standard of five feet eight. By this
means it is proposed to establish, in
due course of time, a race of giants.

Finding that some kind of men laugh
at locksmiths, Burlington woman one
night threw a handful of banana peels
out of a back window upon the kitchen
roof. That night, about 80 or little
later, the shock of an earthquake that
had been in America long enough to
swear, shook the house and startled the
family awake and when they rushed

"There is popular idea," said the
gentleman, as he brushed some impor-
tant jokes off the desk, and wiped his
feet on them, shat red nose indicates
intemperance."
Il never said it," remarked the editor,
in manner that ought to sooth most
any complainant.
"Now then," continued the visitor.
you observe my nose, what do you
think of lt?'
After brief scrutiny, the editor said
it was brick-red
Right" said the visitor, "it is brick
red; now do you know what causes a
brick red on mans nosep"
Il can't tell" rejoined the editor,
YEARLY, while he wiped his face with
blotter, "unless it is that somebody
painted you in the nose with a BRICK"
You are wrong" said the gentleman
with the slouch hat, "it's liver COM
plant, for some id reason that never
could understand, when the liver gets
out of order, the indications work out
to the nose, and give it brick red col
or" and the gentleman picked up an
inkstand and threw it on the floor in
considerable wrath.
IF you will kindly refrain from
breaking the property" said the editor,
we will discuss this subject further"
"Well, it makes me mad," said the
man, "to be blamed for drinking. Now,
what do you think Of the cardinal red
tint on a mans nose, which is different
from mine?"
at looks nice," SAID the editor cheer
fully.
Tknow it looks nice; it gives man
sort of picturesque appearance that
he otherwise would not have, but at
the same time there is a wrong i'm
preston in regard to it. That cardinal
red doesn't denote whiskey."
Just then spring fly bored its way
into the editors ear, and after it was
pulled out with a shoe-buttoner, and
killed with a tack-hammer, the editor
said
"Why?"
"Whenever you find cardinal red
on mans nose said the gentleman
with a slouch hat, you can gamble that
it's eryslpelas. I'll tell you what it is,
continued he. as he hit the table a
thump, "most of the people in this coun-
try are color-blind, and in addition to
that they have an absurd idea of red
noses. When you get crimson red
nose, however, you have It,"
Have whatp" asked the editor.
"a case of whiskey coloring, a brick
red or cardinal red doesn't count; but
a crimson red, especially where there's
pimples in connection with it, is sure
Indication. II would like you," con-
cluded the gentleman, "to set the peo-
pie right on this thing, because | have
an uncle who is worth 100000 and he's
going to die pretty soon, and I can't
catch on unless this red nose racket is
explained, as he is temperance man.
If you explain it I'll send him marked
COPY, and when he croaks I'll see that
you amt left"
"All right" said the editor. and while
the gentleman rambled down stairs.the
editor gathered up his kit of tools. con-
sistiDg of paste pot and pair of scis-
sors, and went to work.

snake charmer in the Yellowstone re-
gion, who has twenty-nlne adders that
think so much of him that they follow
him around like dogs. On washing day
each one takes the tip end of COM

genious hammock, in which the snake
charmer lies and reads novels on the

Bad Medicine.

A young physician who had long
worshiped at distance was one day
suddenly called to attend her. He
found her suffering from no particu-
larly dangerous malaiy, but she wanted
him 10 prescribe for her nevertheless;
so he took her hand and said Impress
lively:
"Well, l should-prescribe-I should
prescribe that--you-get-married."
"Oh. goodness" said the interesting
invalid, "who would marry me, l won

II would" snapped the doctor, with
all the vOracity of six-foot pickerel.
"You," exclaimed the maiden.
"Yes."
"Well, doctor, if that is the fearful
alternative, you can 60 away and let me

The Colorado Journal publishes an
extract from Vienna paper, wherein
the people are warned against eml-
grating to America. The article is
funnier than the most "roaring" of far
ces, and is as follows: "If people try
to become suddenly rich by travelling
further inland, they are put to hard
work on the plantations and railroads
where they receive if possible, still
smaller wages. Although they are
promised the highest prices, in order to
attract many victims, they are. when
they arrive, left on the pralries, are
paid nothing, and besides are swim

mates fall prey to suffering, or they
are attacked by fever or some other
American sickness and thus die. Many
are sent into the mines, very far away.
where they never have an opportunity
to return, because they never earn the
money for the journey back. If man
obtains work with farmer, the latter
keeps back the ges,and when twenty
dollars has fallen due, the farmer kills
the poor. man in order to keep the
money. Travel in America is still
very dangerous. The traveller is COM
PEELED to fight with wild animals,snakes

are nevertheless determined to ride,
and jump on the trains in order to get
to the prairies, and are afterwards
found starved to death on freight

wealth to-day in Galveston than in any
other city in the United States with equal
population. Our merchants have been true
10 themselves, true TO Galveston and true
10 our great state of Texas. They have
come here TO stay. This is the great secret.
All their earnings and Accommodations have
been and are being invested for the benefit
OF Texas. They will receive the ben
eht OF their prosperity. Gal.
weston is an exception in this respect 10 al.
most every southern city. The rule in south
ern cities is, that when the merchant or
business man accumulates fifty, one hun
dred or two hundred thousand dollars he
gathers 1t together Just at the time when
be is OF value TO his location and takes it TO
New York, Chicago or some other northern
Guy to and In building up those cities when
ne should have invested it in building up
, 1he section where he gathered his fortune.
ms accounts largely for the lack of accu-
mutation OF money in the south.
Since you have spoken of the strong home
position your company occupies, will you
tell me OF the probabilities of the further
tion?
we are, as 1t were, now going into camps
AFTER successful campaign, to take tenn
porary rest. We have s36 miles OF main
line OF road completed, with the exception
OF putting in the iron bridge across
tue bayou in Houston, and another across
the Nayasota river. This, with some few
miles OF road to thoroughly ballast, will
iinlsh up what We have under contract
we expect to have the whole road in ex-
cellent condition by the commencement of
the active business season, say August /,
after which time We will be prepared to
commence anew, but Just in what direction
and from what point am not prepared to
say. Our intention is to supply the Texas
demand for transportation, and we believe
the people will sustain us in our under
taking.
Do you think the people of the interior
lully appreciate the efforts being made by
state?
That is question You ought not to ask,
put since you have asked it, | will say in
reply That as people get older, with more
experience, more wealth and more intelli-
gence, they become more liberal in their
views. ! think, that up to few years ago,
the people of the interior were preiudiced
somewhat against Galveston on account of
lts DONG larger business than any other
CITY In the state, but now, since the state
mas so apldly increased in population, apd
the growth of the interior cities become so
great, that the feeling has become natural
and mutual, and that the sentiment is be-
coming general that we all should and do
rejoice III each others success. There is
abundant room and opportunity for all,
and all local preiudices are rapidly disap-
pearing. Every true Texan will do what
ne can toward building up and sustaining
nome enterprise, and thereby make his
state more independent, and | will pledge
