A Stubborn Case of ScrOfnla.

I have been afflicted with scrofula
from my infancy, and in consequence
have always been frail and delicate
creature. I might truthfully say that
/ was raised chiefly on mercury and
potash. These remedies, for the time
being, would dry up the fearful ulcers
with which L suffered, but they would
return with greater violence. l was
the merest shadow as to form and
person. My digestion was all de-
ranged, and my existence was most
wretched. Everything that could be
done for me was done, but no perma-
nent benefit was derived. At last
great tumor came on my neck below
the left ear. 1t increased in size I'M
til my head was forced to the right
shoulder, and in this ungainly and I'm.
comfortable position l was compelled
to carry my head. The doctors de-
cided that it was there to stay US long
as life continued, and for many years
it did remain. In March, 1884, at the
suggestion of Col. John Traylor, 1
was induced to try Swift's Specific
My system responded to the medicine
promptly, and 1 began to improve
from almost the first bottle. That
fearful tumor has all disappeared,
and every appearance of the disease
has left my person except small hard
lump on the right side of my neck,
and that is disappearing rapidly
From fragile little girl 1 have devel-
oped into as healthy and robust
young lady as there is in the neigh
borhood. Swifts Specific is the only
remedy that has ever given me any
permanent relief. and am in better
health and weighmore than I ever did
in my life before. My old friends
scarcely recognize me since this won
derful change has been wrought in
my appearance. My gratitude is I'M
bounded for what this medicine has
done for me. Miss ToMNnE EMBRY.

Credit to whom Credit il Due.

The Cleburne Chronicle is given to
terse statement, but never was truth
more forcibly put by it than when it
says: .";Templeton, Swain and Walsh,
by agreeing to take Indiana limestone,
destroyed all pretext of contractors
for throwing up the job As a con-
sequence, granite will be used in the
building. The contractors, no doubt,
thought that rather than accept for
eign stone, the capitol board would
agree to cash bonus of several hun
dred thousand dollars to have Texas
granite used When Indiana stone
was accepted, the contractors backed
out from their own proposition, and
agreed to use granite, with no addi-
tional cost in cash to the state. The
people are indebted to the gentlemen
named at the head of this paragraph,
for the excellent outcome.-Ft. Worth

THE MORTGAGE.
By WILL n. oAALKros.

We worked through spring and winter,
through summer and through fall,
But the mortgage worked the hardest and
the steadlest OF all.
Il worked ON nights and Sundays Il worked
each holiday;
II settled down among us, and It never went
away
whatever We kept from it seemed almost as
bad as theft;
II watched az every time and II ruled us
right and left;
The rust and blight vera with us sometimes
and sometimes they were not;
The dark -browed, scowling mortgage was
forever on the spot.
The weevil and the cut-worm, they went as
we'll az came;
The mortgage stayed forever, eating hearty
all the same.
II nailed up every window. stood guard at
every door,
And happiness and sunshine made their
homo with VI no more,
Till, with failing crops and sickness, we got
stalled upon the grade,
And there came dark day on us when the
interest wasn't paid
And there came q sharp foreclosure, and 1
kind o. lost my bold,
And grew weary and discouraged and the
farm was cheaply sold
The children left and scattered when they
yet were hardly grown
My wife she pinod and persisted, an ] found
myself alone.
What she died OF was o mystery, an the
doctors mover knew;
But knew she died of mortgago-just as
well as j wanted to.
II to truce hidden sorrow were within tho
doctors art,
They'd ha' found a mortgage lying on that
woman's broken heart.

farmers land may fall,
But for frst-class ruination, trust mort

The Indian Problem.

The solution Of the Indian problem
is simple, though radical. The ends
to be secured are the disruption OF
the tribes, the abolition of the reserva-
tions, the dispersion OF the Indians,
and their subsection to the conditions,
the requirements and the advantages
of civilization. The means to this
end would be law 1) making In
dian citizens, but making the right OF
suffrage dependent on some educa.
tional qualification; (2) giving them
q brief term, soy three years, to select
lands in severalty; (3) assigning
lands, at the expiration of that time,
TO all who had not elected to take
their lands voluntarily; (4) purchas-
ing all that remained at an appraised
valuation, and holding the proceeds
in trust for schools, implements and
other means of civilization; (5) and
then opening the continent from
ocean to ocean to actual settlers
and advancing civilization. Five
years should suffice for this, under a
commission appointed for the pur-
pose. If there are any Indians too
savage to be scattered among the
whites, they should be put to work
on small holdings, and under military
control This is substantially Gen.
Crooks solution; it is one which
ought to unite East and West in its
support; and, if executed, it would
in FIVE years merge the remains Of
the Indian problem in the general
tramp problem nor would it mate
rally swell the great army of tramps.
