Pride ever precedeth a fall
His hopes we're exalted too high;
And great was the spite
Which nlrd tho "Plumed Knight"
Whom hope babe him gently goodbye
For once the great chance Of his life
seem'd brightly TO beckon him on;
A glorious name,
Wealth. honor and fame
Were his, should the victory be won
Electlon.day duly came on.
The vote Of the nation was polrd'
And fierce ON poo Blaine
Were his spasms OF pain,
When the tale OF the voting was told.
No dlgnIhed silence with him.
No fortuude under defeat;
But burning With r-ge
The New Engla ider sage
Gives vent 70 his ndylng hate.
'Dear neighbors and friends he e1claims
"'Tis not for myself that mourn
! Hut my oountry's SD plight
AM Is me tonight
And thus overburdeded groan.
"'Twaa tho work ofa disloyol South,

Who bulldozed with Tiger
The poor, tmid negro,
And euchCr'd me out ofmy game.

Nay, rather, hope he'll do we'll,
But with disloyal yot4
And Southern support
He'll carry the country TO h II.

The city council at its last meeting

largely OF natural reservoirs OF
rock bottoms, clay and gravel banks.
This stream has been thoroughly
fenced by the company for nearly
three miles above the pumping station
and access TO ii for stock purposes is
had only through special gates. Dur
ing the drouth these natural basins
furnished all tho water required. A
considerable sum Of money was ex-
pended for this special purpose, but
the company spared neither money
nor efforts TO make for itself grand
record. During this period many per
manent improvements were made and
everything shaped for a large patron
age during the coming year. Nothing
but absolute confidence in Gainesville
could have induced business men to
stand by and foster an interest thai
encountered so many obstacles during
the first year of it's existence. The

the happy couple made them mum
Der of useful aud elegant presents.
Your correspondent learned to-day
from Judge b, T. Richey, county
judge, some interesting acts concern
ing the school children and school tax
OF Parker county. Judge Richey in
answer to our questions ~ to the num-
Der Of children within the scholastic
age outside the city OF Weather
ford, said there were 4,S42,
and that the amount OF
school fund received was Sl9,570
He said that as TO the number OF
children within the scholastic age In
side of the city limits Of Weatherford,
he could not tell precisely, hut that
there were between 400 and 500, and
the amount Of scheol tax they
received was over $1,000. He said
furthermore, that II all the taxes that
Parker county owes the state were
paid they would amount 10 $2l, 100 80
That amount does not include tn,
occupation taxes of the county.
The above shows that the schoo
fund received by the children of Par
ker county amounted to more thar
the taxes due the state from the coun
ty-a good showing for our county.
One Quincy was arrested here last
night by Sheriff Baylor for the theft o
steer belonging 10 Wagley Of Gala

Omitted to 90 couples as is "The Ancient"

elected, or rather accepted, list of names

The gypsy women have sly way of
batting intended victims. They will ad.
dress few remarks to the person, and
then suddenly start in with assertions con-
corning the past and predictions for the ft-
ture only to stop sa suddenly aud ask tor
$l.OO for the rest of the. story. The same
trick is played in many branches of bust
ness. The circus parade, with its music
and glitter, It's wonderful animals in closed
cages, and free tight rope performance, is
given to excite the curiosity of the snort
ing populace and make them gladly yield
up their half dollar to see the rest of it.
The train boy rushes through the coach
and drops peanut in front of each pas
senger, and then comes around to see how
many want some more at the price of beer
five glass" The cheap story papers
issue thousands of copies containing the
first few chapters of several continued
stories, and these being circulated, are
read, and create demand for the ensuing
numbers of the paper to see how the stories
turn out. The poker player, with a new
victim in tow, lets him win few times in
order to make him "stkae his pilen-snd
lose. And so 1t goes, one half the world
batting, the other half biting. The gypses
as a class, understand human nature better
than anybody, and they catch many suck
ers with their curiosity balted hooks.
