GALVESTON is raking In cash by her
interstate drill and her convention. Her
hotels, street-car lines, restaurants,
clearinghouse, omnibus and hack
lines, saloons and grooerymen, all will
receive substantial benefit from the
crowds that throng the city to attend
these gatherings. San Antonio, better
prepared naturally to care for and
accommodate such masses, makes no
attempt to secure their presence and
her merchants and hotels lose the pro-
fits that very little management would
bring their way. AS it has been in the
past II should not be In the future.

article In yesterdays issue about the mis-
fortune Of too-kisssble colonel has
been construed by some to refer TO our
distinguished fellow-townsman, Col. a.
j. Wheatley. Such belief, however err
roneous, must have tendency 10 injure
Col. Wheatley in his candidncy Ton

standing with the fair sex,
with whom in the past he has
been deservedly popular. II gives us

The Newspapcr Plant.

1t seems that in certain far-away ter
ritories called New Mexico and Arizona,
there are great tracts of dcsolate desert
lands, where the very hills seem desti-
tute of life and beauty, and where the
earth is shriveled from centuries of ter
rible heat. And in those desert-tracts
grow curious, misshapen, grotesque
and twisted plant that seems more like
a goblin tree than n real one.
OF all the trees in the world, you
would imagine this to be the most out
cast and worthless-sO meager living
does it obtain from the waste of sand
and gravel in which it grows. And YET
this goblin tree is now being sought
after and utilized in one of the world S
greatest industries-an industry that
affects the daily needs of civilization.
Those wise folk, the botanists, call
our goblin tree by its odd Indian name
of the yucca" palm.
This plant of the desert for a long
time was considered valueless. But not
long ago it was discovered that the
fiber of the Yucca could be made into
an excellent paper. And now one OF
the English dailics, the London Tele.
graph, is printed upon this paper made
from this goblin tree. Indeed, the 1ele
graph has purchased a large plantation
in Arizona, merely for the purpose Of
cultivating this tree, and manufacture
ing paper from it. So, you see, the
Yucca is now newspaper plant.-St.

Mcclellan and Lee.

From General McClellans last maya
zine article in the May Century, we
quote as follows: General Lee and
knew each other well in the days before
the war. We had served together in
Mexico and commanded against each
other in the Peninsula. | had the
highest respect for his ability as COM
mander, and knew that he was not a
general to be trifled with or carelessly
afforded an opportunity of striking a
fatal blow. Each of us naturally re-
garded his own army as the. better, but
each entertained the highest respect for
the endurance, courage, and fighting
qualities of the opposing army; and this
feeling extended to the officers and
men. 1T was perfectly natural under
these circumstances that both of us
should exercise certain amount of
caution; in my endeavors to ascertain
Lees strength, position, and intentions
before I>struck the final blow; he TO alb
stain from any extended movements of
invasion, and to hold his army well in
hand until he could be satisfied as to
the condition of the Army of the Poto-
mac after its second Bull Run campaign,
and as to the intentions of its COM
mander" ~

HOuk's Bottle Of Whisky.

Representative HOuk, of Tennessee,
has one of the sharpest tongues in the
house. He has rugged, forceful, and,
at times, an inelegant style of delivery,
but he always comes to the front with
telling points which make the other side
vince. 1t is in q running debate, how
ever, where Houk shows up to the best
advantage. The hotter the fire from
the other side the better he comes out
of the fray. The other day he was re-
lating some of his interesting eX-
periences on the stump. He said:
"During one of my campaigns the prin-
cipal point made against me was that
at one time drank too much alcoholic
liquor Mr.. Rule, my opponent, who
was running on the independent ticket,
challenged me to q series of joint dis
cussions, which / accepted. One of the
counties in my district is made up of
the strictest kind of presbyterians, ortho-
dox methodists. and quakers. Well,
when we came to the county seat we
both stopped mt the house of an old
presbyterian elder. Rule had the open
ing speech to make. He went in and
rehearsed the old charge of drunken
ness, and it looked as though his charge
was having some effect.
''Then my turn came. l got up on
the stand and said: 'Fcllow-citizens
i have nothing TO say in relation to the
charge that at one time in my life was
in the habit of taking a wee bit too
much. Inever denied it and l never
shall, but l can truthfully say that for
fifteen years no man has ever seen me
in a bar-roOm.
'.Now, what kind of man is Rule to
make this charge? / propose to show
him up will make this proposition
to HIM: We are both stopping down
here with Presbyterian elder. l will
select one man, let him select another,
and the two to choose a third. Now,
let these referees 60 to my room, and if
they find any kind of alcoholic liquor
there will agree to withdraw from the
race. will 60 further than that. Let
the referees 60 to Rules room, and, fell
low-citizcns, if they don't find bottle
of whisky in his gripsack l will let him
have a walk-ovcr to my seat in Con-
gress. Rule was dumfounded. He did
not accept the offer, and the conse-
quence. was that l received my biggest
majority from that county. That bottle
of whisky did the business for me. Rule
doesn't know to this day how found
out that he had it slowed away

Here is romance from the rowdy
West Miss Jennie Corson, who is
known throughout the country as the
'Shepherdess of the West" went to
Montana some years ago and took a
sheep ranch in Meagher County. She
did it all alone and unaided. After q
while she sent for her lazy brother from
Chicago. and made him overseer of her
tlocks. Matters went well with her,
and soon she had fine band of sheep,
and as valuable ranch property as there
was in Montana. She took up some
land under one or another of the gov.
eminent acts, proved up on time, and
became landed proprietor. Now, il
happened that the next claim to her
own was taken up by an enterprising
young man named Severance, who, like
his fair neighbor, first started sheep
ranch, and then got hold of some soil.
They tended flocks in company for
some time, and then Severance pro-
posed marriage. He was accepted,
and the two united their fortunes, and
have been doing better and better ever
since.
