Practical Husband Hunting,

from the New York Herald.
1t is. related Of a Connecticut woman,
whose husband died a short time ago, that
instead OF louneing and languishing about
until some n asked her: to marry again,
she plainly announced that she wanted a
new husband. aud she named the price
that she was ready to pay f,r a satisfactory
article. OF course there were plenty or
applicants. aid as least one of them met
the widows views, for there was q wedding
that very day. There is nothing rom tntic
about this sort OF match making. but, OF
the other hand. there Is no nonsense about
it. Instead of listening to a story SO ten
der and ardent that she could not have tho
heart to question the suitor's fitness for
the place TO which he aspired, the widow
adopted q method that enabled her TO talk
sense before marriage aud learn what
promise there would be of sentiment after
ward. She did not consume q number of
the best years Of her life In wishing that one
or another man would propose, but she as
certaiped. like q sensible woman. whit was
really in the market, and made her choice
from those that were available. Santi-
mentalists mAy sneeringly say that the man
married for money, but will they mem
ton any other man who failed to do like
wise When he had q chance? The widow
and her new husband began life with q
distinct understanding and without having
had any lovers quarrels: let sentimental
couples who c~ritioise them show . better
beginning il they can.

From the Hartford, Conn, Times
About 25 years ago, when DR.. Crane, the
dentist, wasyoung in the business, he used
to sleep in a room contiguous TO his Office
One summer morning, just before daylight.
he was awakened by q pounding at the door
as though some one was in fierce haste to-
get in. AS soon az the f~astenings were re-
moved a wild looking. bare headed man
rushed in, and began striding up and down
the room, SINGING at the TIP Of his voices

The scene was calculatedto try the nerves

man was at least six feet in height and COR
respondingly large, and he went diving MP

cat, his muscular limbs in full play. his
long hair pushed back, eyes flashing with
maniac fire, and face almost deathly pale.
Thinking it best to pat on o bold face, he
said TO the fellow. lyon seem to be pretty

man halted in his walk, and, glaring tisrce-

senaihle ReYision Of Views.


The action of the land board in TAX.
ing the school lands oil the market
until next November is evidently at
tributed 20 the agitation of the subject
before and since the meeting of the
Houston convention. 1t is IA conces.
sion 10 the claims of West Texas that
the present lease system does retard
the settlement and prosperity of the
frontier. IL was difficult matter to
convince the lease advocates that such
state of affairs really existed. With
in the last three weeks wonderful
change has taken place in pop
ular opinion. The lease law has
suddenly been read under n
new light. Gov Ireland, in his recent
speech at Fort Worth, admits its de-
fects and said it was never a pet meas
ure with him. Senator Gibbs said, at
same time aud place, that the senti-
ment of the country was the prime
consideration at Houston and the rev.
enue to the school fund only ofsecouda-
ny Importance. This is precisely what
the froe-grass or antl-lease men con-
tended and battled for, They are still
of the same way of thinking, and are
glad to note such coming round to
their standpoint by Gov. Ireland and
Senator Gibbs. The sale Of lands to
actual settlers, in limited quantities
without competition, is the proper
solution of the present vexed question.
1t will give anew impetus TO immi-
grafton, restore confidence in business
circles and eventually bring more
available revenue to the school fund
than will ever be derived from the
leasing of the lands.

l6 cents would give as much revenue
as one Of 80 cents now does. At
the rate Of increase that has
been maintained it will not

ment will reach the larger figure. II
half the state is given over TO pastures
it never will reach that figure, and
taxes never viii be reduced. la this
sense the question OF lease or anti
lease Is OF state interest. A lease law
will hurt Western interests first and
worst, hut other parts Of the state can
not escape It's far.reaching conse-
quences at last.
The calamity that now is hanging
over the state may be averted or has
tened by the action Of the legislature
that is to be elected eight weeks
hence. The matter is yet in the
hands Of the people, aud it is for them
to say what shall be done. II they
want no lease law, let them elect a
legislature in sympathy with that
policy. If they want lease law or
herd law, let them choose a legislature
that will satisfy them.
