FoR HER cHILpRENs SAKE.
4 Texas Widow who Proposed to sacri-
fee Her Own Feelings.

When Mai Converse was laying out
the line of the Galveston. Harrisburg 81
San Antonio railroad he spent several
days in obtaining the right OF way through
the little town of II ingsbury. There was
considerable opposition on the part Of
some of the citizens to granting the right
of way unless they received extraordinary
remuneration
Among those who regar led the railroad
as a nuisance was a hard aced widow of
about so years of age, wno owned a small
farm. She said that il she was not COM
PEELED to have 800 right oil she would
fight the company until a certain warm
place froze over.
"That ere road will run over some of
my cows, but I've got to have money,
she said.
at will not be as bad as you imagine, "
replied Mai. Converse, soothingly.
at will be heap wuss. The sparks
from the locomotive will set fire to my
haystacks But necessity knows no laws,
reckon I'll have to sign the right of way.
but I'd rather take pizen.
II don't think that you will be disturbed
Is much as you suppose.
Il never expect to get another wink of
sleep at nights for them trains Just know
my healthll break down I'll be in my
grave before year, but hand out yer
hundred dollars and it's a whack. I'll do
IL on account of the children. What won't
a woman do for her own flesh and blood?"
Major Converse handed over the money
and the widow signed the document cheer
fully.
"Do you really need the money so
badly2" asked Mai. Converse, as he folded
up the document and put it in his picket.
The worst in the world, stranger. A
gentleman from Galveston-a drummer l
believe they call him-visits me every
time he comes to this town. The last time
he was here he called me his gaZelle, and
wanted to kiss me, but told him, no,
not yet
II understand He is paying you atten-
tons.
And he's going to be here again in
about two weeks. He is right on the rag
courage him he may grow cold and list
less. 1t may be good by.John with me
unless do my part. You know how men
are They are so unreliable. ?"
"Yes, l understand. You want to lend
him the money, said Converse
SHOT much l am going to lend him any
money. But | am goin' to San Antoine
to-morrer, and I'll buy me new silk dress
and new hat, and I'm going to have a
new set of false teeth built, and if / ain t
Mrs. Drummer inside of three weeks, it
won't be my fault.
"Do you really love him?" asked Maj
Converse.
"No, I'll never love again. But he's so
kind to the children, and my poor chill
dren need a protector so bad, that Pm
ready to make any sacrifice, don't think
we ought to take our own feelings into
consideration when the welfare of our
offspring is. concerned. Do you know
who is the best dentist in San Antone?"

"The Hewgag-"

The "hewgag" is the latest novelty
among musical instruments. 1t is a twin
to the "kazoo, but it is bigger, costs
more, and looks like an internal machine
The "hewgag" was intended to be modi-
fication of the banjo. Attached to an or
binary banjo drum at one point on its cir
keys. Running beneath the keys and the
drum is single string of catgut, fastened
to the extreme end of the bar of piano
keys and to the opposit, point on the cir
conference of the drum. The shaft of
wood has on it a tOothed wheel As the
shaft turns the teeth strike the string and
cause the vibrations The sound emitted
is cross between the filing of a saw and
grinding of n coffee-mill Pressure upon
The piano keys while the shaft is being
turned varies the notes.

The land question is assuming
vast prominence in this country, as
has been before remarked in the CAP.
ITAL, by reason of the large tracts un-
der one control which have been
bought and held by foreigners, and
of which the Maxwell grant is one
tt is the same question with which
the older nations have struggled for
centuries. Nathaniel Page, of Wash.
ington, the other day made public
some thoughts on this matter which
are worth studying. France, before
the first Napoleon, had less than
900, 900 landowners. The great rev.
olution broke up the aristocracy and
to-day there are between 100000
and 100000 landowners. There
are no fences in France, and the tracts
run seven or eight acres in size. The
result is variegated and beautiful
landscape everywhere, a frugal and
contented and wealth-producing peo-
pie. In buying q hundred acres of
land in France it is necessary to Sc
cure all the way from fifteen to
twenty-five deeds from the different
owners. In England the vast acreas
owned by the peerage are . constant
theme OF discussion and opposition
among the people. Just as men grow

THE Baltimore american tells the
Southern people the true cause why
more emigrants do not settle in the
South. "It is because they do not
advertise their country. A year or
two ago Michigan wanted immi-
grants. To get them, good sum
was appropriated, to be used in adver-
tising the States advantages and re-
sources. The scheme was successful,
and newcomers aocked to Michigan. .
The difficulty in disposinfi of farm sin
this county, is because the great re-
sources of the county are not adver.
tised.

The trees planted along our streets
through the influence of the Local
Improvement Association, have been
very fortunate in taking root, and
nearly all are thriving. We, how.
ever, venture to suggest that unless q
little attention is given them during
this severe bot, dry weather, they
will be likely to lose their vitality and
become loss. A good bucket Of
water to each tree in the evening
while the dry weather lasts will not
only save their lives, but add much
