LITTLE. TEXAS BILL.
Old Reese. and the Peculiar manner in
Which lie Looked Alter n Kids Inter-

A Texrs correspondent tells the fol-
lowing story of a Western desperate.
known as cold Reese" who had killed
his score Of men, and was known as 4
desperado. The writer says: Sturgis
is a gambler. and when he first came
here everybody was afraid Of him, and
be sorter 1un the settlement. Old
Re.sc WIS away then. He came hack
here about two months ago. The day
he returned he was passing along when
he mt a little boy crying. Old Reese
j. very fond Of children. and they al
like him. He picked the little fellow up.
dried his tears, and inquired the cause Of
his trouble. Between his sobs the boy
told lis story. He was the only son OF a
poor widow woman who lives down hy
the river, and does washing for the
gamblers. Early IN the spring Sam
S,ureis employed him to attend to his
horse promising to pay him two dollars
a week for his services. Glad TO be able
to telp lis mother, the little fellow took
! charge Of the gamblers caballo, and
+! eroomed and fed him for sixteen weeks.
| Then Sturgis sold the animal, and The
boys s%cryiccz were no longer required.
He Ilsd Just been in to ask Sturgis for
his pay. and the gambler had not only
not paid him, but had kicked him out of
the casino.
ole kicked you, did he ?" said Reese,
and those blue eyes of his snapped.
eyes. sir faltered the boy.
"And he won't pay vo', your money!
"No, SIR whimpered the boy; land
mother need, it."
I think he'll pay" answered Reese.
"You rim right home. now. and LII be
right down to zee yoi presently, and
lrin2 the money
Sturgis was pretty flush then and
was running a big game. Old Reese
went down to see him. Well. sir its
only about a week ago that he recovered
from that interview and was able to be
about.
Old. Reese walked into the saloon,
called for pen and paper, and made out
the following bill:

He walked up to the table where
SturSis was dealing monte and laid this
bll h,forc him.
. r'Stursi@," lie said, ':pay this little
bill. and I'll receipt it."
, The gambler glanced at the paper:
jumped to his feet, ierked out his six
shooter. and said: :,
"In be ha1ged if I dot
81 think you will" said Reese, ant
he knocked the fellow down.
Before he could regain his feet ole
Reese was upon him. He jerked the
six shooter out of S%turgls's hand, ant
beat him over the bead with it until h.
cried for mercy.
will You pay the bill ?" asked Reese
raising the six-sllooter to hit him again
s"I,s.' And he paid it.
, But Reese was not through with hin
|. vet. There was a Justice of the Peace
IN Laredo at the time, a recent institu
ton. Old Reese knew that the gamble
would have him arrested for the assault
and compel him to Fay a fine. He toll
two mcn to come forward as witnesses
and, III their presence made Sturgi
swear that he (Reese) had never strucI

Scwing.Machine Industry.

These remarkable items pour into our Office
daily. Mr.. h. S. fuller; with the New Home
Machine Company, of Orange, Mass, writes,
May 90, 1893: II have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she .conld not recover. We tried doctors
and medicines, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the urinal as many as fifteen times In
a night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and.I concluded to try it: and after
using one bottle she was a good deal better,
the inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and fe,t no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain,l and this had been a great
burden to do. even the Iightest kind of work.
After using six bottles she was completely
cured. Since then l have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver COM
plants. and found it to be just as represented.
and I consider it a most wonderful medicine.
l would not be without Hunts Remedy in
my family: and I have recommended it 10
my friends here in Orange with equally good
results."

ed conferences into church by them
selves, just as the ethodist Episco-
pal Church, South, did. If associa-
tion of colored men with white in the
annual conferences is not to he toler-
ated, why should it be in the General
Conference? The foreshadowing Of
such a policy would be a disastrous
thing for the church in the South. A
few more Birmingham affairs, and the
colored people will drop out of the
church like sheep. Does the net loss
of the Savannah (colored) Conference
Of over 2,400 communicates the past
year, or more than one-ffth of the
whole number, indicate dissatisfaction
with the treatment the colored con-
stituency is receiving?
The great heart Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church is mot wrong on
this question. 1t can never beat for
caste. 1t certainly cannot allow
few men to betray it and prejudice or
ruin its great work in the South.

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of the
impairment of the mind from excess
i've nervous exhaustion, or where there
exists forebodings Of evil, a desire for
solitude, stunning and avoiding COM
pany, vertigo and nervous debility, or
when insanity has already taken
place, Peruna and Manalin should be
implicitly relied on. But it is never
we'll to wait so long before treatment
is commenced. The early symptoms
are loss Of strength, softness of the
muscles, dim, or weak sight, peculiar
expression of the face and eyes, coated
tongue, with impaired digestion; or
in. others, certain powers only are lost.
while they are otherwise enjoying
comparatively good health. In all
these Perui,a and Manalin should at
once be taken.

in. one of the churches Of that city by
walking up the aisle to the pulpit
during the service, mounting the steps

which hung from the pulpit cushion.

after much difficulty, in driving the
animal out of the sanctuary into, the

to be Cinnamon, as if there were
something fearful and dangerous to
the public veal in the presence of a
Chinese laborer. And what is all this
for? Why, for just nothing at all,
except wild, unreasonable, unjust,
and thoroughly anti-American clamor,
mainly gotten up by the ''hoodlums"
and 'sand-lot" orators of San Fran
cisco, and seized upon by selfish, and
unscrupulous politicians to serve par
tisan purposes and ends, Such is the
true genesis Of this most abominable
law. There is no evil to be corrected
which demanded that the United
States should insult the Empire Of
China, and at the same time contra
dict their own policy toward foreign
ers for nearly hundred years: The
Government, in the anti-Chinese law,
has soothed and gratifed the Kear-
neyites at a very heavy price.
