Wicked was the look with which she regarded
her daughter, when, after Prendergasts do
parture, Sophia shyly s.olo into the room and
took her seat at the tea table. Mrs. Barbara
opened fire: $50, Sophia, Prendergast has

You have neither sense nor spirit, and it Is
mortifying to me to think that the daughter

the one with whom must, suppose, pass
the remainder Of my life"
This was a most unkind speech; but we
must remember how bitterly the little woman
was disappointed; and we must remember,
too, that she did not often lose her temper.
Sophia, who might perhaps at another time
have defended herself, was really broken
down by the succession Of the days excite

mothers last sarcasm had wounded her in
deed.
II don't care for crying" the mother went
on, quite forgetting her better self and her
own maxims of self-possession. "Really,
Sophia, if you are so determined to have
your own way, have the courage, too, and

A Straw Man ON the Track.

Engineer Jack Cunningham is ten
der-hearted fellow, who would rather
leave the country than draw blood. He
cries every time he kills calf. The
other evening, the boys put a straw
man, all nicely fixed, on bridge near
Alamosa. Jack whipped around the
curve with his passenger train, cspied
the man, reversed his engine, opened
the sand-lever, applied the air-brakes
full force, and shut his eyes to keep out
the horrible sight; the train stopped,
after it had passed over the poor un-
fortunate, and Jack wanted his fireman
to 90 back and see who it was. Con-
ductor German came ahead, and told
Jack to come back and sec the result of
his carelessness. This broke Jack all
up-but he went. He had to buy whole
cigar store in Placer. They "set' the
dummy again, and caught AL. Springer.
He is little superstitious. and would
not stop, saying the broken bones and
clotted blood would keep him awake for
months. He was SO sick, he could not
eat his supper Colorado Paper.

Thus both within the family circle and
outside it the affairs of Mrs Temple were dis
cussed, with great assiduity; but relatives,
friends and acquaintances were alike left in
the dark.
The ordinary set Of people talked the mat
ter over, wondered, surmised, and then for
got all about it. But the family could not so
lightly dismiss doubt which concerned their
own interests; and in the family the whis-
pered belief was that the little mother, for
all her shrewdness had run into extrava-
gance, and that poverty was now forcing her
to retrench. Then came questions. What Is
her position nowl From what source comes
her incomel What will Sophia have when
she dies! And these misgivings were the
more anxious, because it was already known
that portion Of her property, at least, would
at her death go to her first husbands heir.

REINHARDT CONCERT.
AN ENTERPRIsING CLOTHING HOUSE
GIVES A FREE CONCERT UNEQUALED
IN ANY CITY ON THE CONTINENT.

AS per former announcement,
Messrs. /. Reinhardt a. Co. to-day ell
tertained many hundred people at
their elegant headquarters, on the
corner of Elm and Murphy streets.
The Mexican National Band, of sixty
pieces, famous the world over for its
superior excellence, was employed es-
pecially for this free concert, and at II
o'clock the large house was filled, end
even the sidewalks were thronged
with people to hear the splendid
music, and also to get one of their
beautiful "Mary Anderson" placques,
as souvenir of one of the most
notable and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
bered events in the history of enter
prising Dallas. The music by the
National Band of Mexico was rare
treat to the large audience present, and
each piece rendered was applauded
heartily. The concert was adjourned
at noon for dinner, and continued
again through the early portion of the
afternoon. During the entertainment
many friends and admirers Of the
firms enterprise paid their respects to
the head of the house, and al who
were present will ever bear in CRATE
full remembrance this evidence of
his enterprise and hospitality. A free
concert of such superior excellence
and magnifcencc was probably never
before known in any city on this con-
tinent.

Old Maids Society.

object of which is to marry the men,
bers of to best advantage. The society
is of recent origin and held its first
meeting last Saturday night. The

on account of the fact that the surviv-

member him, should he ever become a
widower.

Which Sewing Machine Got the
Premium?

Premium?
In view of the fact that the Singer
Manufacturing Co. claim to have taken
the first premium on best family sew
ing over the New Home at the Dallas
State Fair and Exposition, l beg to
offer the following decision made by
the board of directors to me through
their president, Col. j. B. Simpson:
81 am instructed to report, by the
board of directors that they unani-
mously reject the report of the Ladies'
committee ON best Family Sewing
Machine"
The chief reason for this re-
lection was that the awarding COM
mittee, laboring under the mistake
that they were to decide upon the
work and not the machine, spent
nearly all their time examining our
work, hence their Judgment was made
upon ex-partc testimony, as they ex-
amined the Singer Machine thorough
ly. |, of course, entered my protest
against this injustice, and one of the
board (Mr. Armstrong; being cogni-
zant of the fact, the beard decided to
reject as set forth Mr.. Simpsons re-
port to me. The awards made to us and
to the Singer were not premiums but
diplomas, and both theirs and ours
were in non competitive classes, hence
no honor or evidence Of special merit
in either machine. Our respective
machines stand on their merits before
the public in the future as in the past,
Independent of blue ribbons.
Respectfully,

Proverbs for Beekeepers.

l. The ways of Bookkeeping are not
always of pleasantness, nor are all the
paths thereof the paths of peace.
g Man is to eat his bread in the
sweat of his face, and there is no ex.
cepton made in favor of the bee
keeper.
3. To work successfully a man must
work wisely. To work wisely with
bees, one must know their nature and
habits; these can be learned only by
careful study and observation,
4. We live in progressive times, and
the true beekeeper must be progress
i've.
5. In Bookkeeping, as in other things,
the diigent are crowned with success.
6. The obstacles in the way of sue
cessful bee culture are ignorance, care
lessness, being too eager to increase
the number of colonies, and cold win
ters.
Z. A fair knowledge of bees, faithful
attention to the apary, and thorough
and timely preparation for the honey
flow, swarming and wintcring, will
make any man or woman Il successful
beekeepcr.
8. A tyrannical Pharaoh demanded
of his workers the full tale of bricks,
but furnished them no straw. Do not
demand from your little workers the
full tale in pounds of honey, when
there is none in the fields, or when you
reside in region poor in honcy-yield-
ing plants.
9. Carefully lay by your honey crop
where thieves especially robbcr bees)
can not break in and steal, and your
empty combs where moth worms will
not destroy them.
10. Profitable Bookkeeping greatly
depends upon gathering up of the
fragments, that nothing be lost. Frag-
ments of time can be used in caring
for bees, fragments of lumber in max
ing hives and frames, fragments of
combs for wax; and every drop Of
honey is useful; even though mixed
with dirt, it can be fed TO needy col
onies.
II. Some beekeepcrs seek their pro-
fits IN raising bees or queens to sell,
but remember that the true aim of bee
keeping is to supply our markets with
delicious honey.
u. Live not for self Make your
knowledge profitable to Others seeking
to learn Bookkeeping, that the coming
generation of beekeepers may excel
the present, increasingly numbers and
in knowledge, until every pound of
honey secreted by the unnumbered
flowers of our land is gathered. w d.

SPECULATION.
On the cost and Receipts ofthc Dallas
State Fair

On the cost and Receipts ofthc Dallas
State Fair.
There is much speculation about the
amount Of money received at the Dial.
las fair and exposition from all sources
This fact cannot be ascertaincd official
ly, as the officers do not deem it proper
to give it, but your reporter, after care
full observations during the two weeks
of the fair, has figured out the receipts
to be between $4,000 and 100000. If
the whole thing cost $4,000, this is
not bad showing, in fact, we think it
one of the best showings ever pro-
duccd at the close of the first meeting
of state fair, or exposition. II the
society should come within $4,000 of
paying the cost of everything, it will
be considered wonderful work, and
further, il should be the duty of every
Dallas man, or others interested, to
make up this amount at once in stock.
Your reporter heard number of per-
sons. during the progress of the fair
say that of the association would open
their books for stock they would sub
scribe: some 800, Others $3.50, and as
high as 81 900. Let the good work go
