Clara Bell Tells q StOry.

The most amusing moment ! ever en-
joyed was one night when we were out
on straw sleigh tide. There was a
loving couple aboard, in closer quarters
than even the size of the vehicle and the
number of the party necessitated. The
moonlight was bright, and they had to
do their loving mostly with their eyes,
until we struck into deep gorge, where
it became suddenly as pitch dark as a
cave. Then there was slight commo-
ton, and curious CALCULATIONS, all ac.
credited by the rest of us to hasty kiss
on the part of the sweethearts. | looked

kcrchief to it for awhile, in order to hide
the blood that started,
"What on earth was the matter with
him?" afterward asked the girl did
you bite him?'
mo, no. she frankly replied, Il had
kept my mouth open good deal, you
see, and the frost got into the metal plate
of my false teeth. When he smacked

cold lamp post when he lets his play-fel

Origin of the Word Texas.

In recent article published in the
North american Rcric,c Gov. Ireland, of
Texas, asserts that the word Texas means
welcome" and that on the landing of
the first white men on the coast of Texas
the Indians greeted them with the ex-
clamation of "Texasv' or "welcome!'
This theory, according TO correspon-
dent in the Texas J'orwderts, is not cor
rect. In the ancient Spanish archives,
stored away in the land Office at Austin,
it appears that certain lands were situated
zen ell pals de los Tejas," or, in the
country of the Texas, or Tejas Indians,
and being pronounced alike.
1t is well known that the Texas ol
TEXAS Indians were tribe of Indians
living in the valley of the Rio Grande
who were exterminated or driven off by {

Don't Tell 1t.

Anyone who has ever happened to
know much of misunGcrstandings be-
tween friends, particularly of misunder-
standings between husbands and wives,
must have been struck with the amount
of "tale.telling" which has been done by
one or the other party to the strife, posi-,
bly, by both of them.
1t is truism that if we desire to re-
member book we have been reading, or
any scheme which we have witnessed, no
more effectual way can be found for do
ing so than to talk it over with someone
Nothing so fixes thing in the mind as
talking it over" with somebody. Is
there not a clear moral in the converse of
this proposition? Is it not true that what
we desire to forget and to have forgotten
by others should be mentioned as little as
possible.
There are probably no two friends in
the world who might not, if they had
chosen to emphasize the disagreeable or
trying remarks they have sometimes
| made to each other, have broken off the
friendship in short order. Human nature
is so constituted that it does at one time
what it would not for anything do at an
other. In ones seasons of physical weak
ness or pain, at periods when the world
goes wrong with us, and GOODNESS and ad
versity taxes ourselves, when a misuuder-
standing has clouded the mind, or espec-
tally when breakfast or dinner goes
wrong with us, and we are the uncon-
scious victims Of incipient dyspepsia
then beware of the tongue. 1t will say
the most remarkable things you ever
heard or ever wish to hear. 1t will abuse
your best friends, utter condemnatiOns of
what, in your normal state, you highly
approve, and, if you do not have a care,
wreck your happiness forever.
1t seems impossible that any man or
woman can retail to friend the slight
misunderstandings-or even the more
important ones-which are always liable
to occur between husbands and wives.
But many, not otherwise lacking in self
respect, do this habitually. There are
plenty Of vulgar-minded people who are
always ready to listen and to "sympa-
thize," until the original grievance,
which should have been buried and for
gotten as fast as possible, becomes an in
famed and cankered sore, blighting the
happiness of all concerned.
Never unless it is a vital matter, which
after duys land weeks, if possible) of ma
ture reflection you have decided must be
impaired to another, tell anyone of
quarrel with your husband. Think of it,
pray over it, right it, and begin all over
again with him, if you can, but keep it
to yourself. Let no mother or sister or
other friend come between you and your
husband. The lesson of silence, as Miss
Phelps has strongly said in recent paper
is the lesson we all most need to learn. 1t
carries with it strength, and peace, and
happiness

COLD COMFORT FOR PENSION
ERS.
Democrats Being Rallied to Oppose EN-
tensions of Grants.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The pro-
gramme of the Democratic majority in
the House includes not only radical re-
duction of the tariff but a policy Of stern
discrimination against the Union veterans
of the late war and the widow and orph-
ans of the men who died in defence of
their country. When the bill to increase
the pensions Of widows from $S to $12
month was under discussion last week,
and it was proposed so to amend the
measure as to provide that pensions shall
begin at the date of disability Chairman
Matson and other Democratic members
of the Invalid Pc nsions Committee in
tended soon to report separate bill for
that object. At meeting Of the Com.
mittec last Friday, Major Morrill, was in
structed to prepare favorable report on
the bill to extend to January /, 1893, the
time within which claims for arrearages
of pensions might be filed. The Com
mittec was nearly unanimous in favor of
extending the period from July /, 1880,
to January /, 1886, but the other prOpo-
sition received the votes of all the Repub-
licans and three Democrats, Pindar, of
New York, Pidcock, of New Jersey, and
Ellsberry, of Ohio, and was carried The
extension had been recommended by
Commissioner Black in his annual report
and there was no apparent indication
that ii would fail to receive many Demo
cratic votes in the House. But Randall
and Holman, the economists, and Car
Isle and Morrison, the tariff reformers, !"
took the alarm at the same moment and q
/ hurried consultation was held. "The bill
/ will deplete the Treasury and there will
be no excuse for reducing the tariff il 1t
/ becomes law" said Carlise and Morris
on. Such extravaganza will ruin the
Democratic party" cried Randall and
/ Holman. 1--WE have voted money enough
for the benefit of men who fought and
whipped us, shouted Reagan the ere
former" A Committee of Safety" was
at once organized and set to work The
three Democratic wanderers who are
members of the Invalid Pensions Com.
mittee. Ellsberry, Pindar and Pidcock,
were reclaimed. A canvass of the Dem
ocratic side of the House was begun and
was extended among some members or
the Republican side, and the members OF
the Committee of Safety" now believe
that the danger of extending the benefit,
of the pension laws is passed.

lunch While quietly refreshing the in

crash in the bushes just above their

Upon seeing the men he halted. One of

away with his shotgun and promptly took

at the time of his death fully 500, 0,000,-
