 am not much addicted to pride. have travelled in the same car from San Antonio to Houston with Andy Faulker, the passenger agent of the Texas Central, and even held his flask for him. When a journalist lets himself down to accept ing free passes and conversing affably with Texas railroad men, just as if no so- cial chasm yawned between hem, he can- not subsequently afford to put on much style to anybody. Irarely snub people
 but draw the line at New York alder men. A Texas passenger agent is just inside of my limit. l mention this so that if stranger with New York alder. manic accent, and a general air of Botany Bay gentility, comes into THE TRAVELLER sanctum, and offers to borrow a dollar from you, and give you an order on me for the money you may know he is fraud and send for deputy sheriff and hold him until you can telegraph me, and can find ou, how much reward is offered for him.
 Tomorrow, the trial of Holland, the Texan who killed Davis, New York con. 6dence man, is to commence. Holland alleges that the confidence man was try ing to rob him, hence he killed him. It is unusual to kill men for robbery in New York. Men who steal are elected to positions of public honor and trust Davis might have been an alderman, but he was too proud and patriotic to steal from his own people, so he preyed on innocent strangers from Texas. He should not have done that.

Blot 'em Out.
Washington Hatchet. l

Poor Walter Scot.s remark, spoken in the sombre adversity of his death. bed, that he had not written line which he desired to. blot out has been much abused since. It has become a sort of ready letter writer form of post-mortem praise for people whose thoughts, whether writ ten or unwri,ten, were of no importance whatever. The strong men oi the world always write things they are sorry for. There are always lines which they wish could be plotted out. The evolution of an individual has all tbe characteristics of the evolution of a civilization. The faith of one year may be the folly of the next. Fierce fealty to an idea may make the tsngue burst forth in angry injustice at seeming delay. Thought Is impatient of slow processes. The man who has written nothing which he would blot out has probably never written anything which Is worth either plotting out or keeping in.

Why every enc needs, and should take Hoods Sarsaparilla in the spring.
 I.t: Because the system is nov in it's greatest need. Hoods Sarsaparilla gives strength.
 2d: Because the blood is sluggish and impure. Hoods Sarsaparilla puri6es.

 TO MY DEVOTED NIECE.
BY BITTER SWEET.

DEAR SoPHY: You want to know if l think you had better dance, if it is a sim full pastime, and why think it is out of place, if do think that way. My dear your questions have called up scenes, and fashions, and perfumes that preface your time by score of yeers. The chande. Tier giving just enough light to make the hall an entrancing place, the plain white, blue and pink muslin summer dresses decorated at the waist with dark sash ribbon, simple in style, but neat in the extreme, and the bright, animated faces of the young ladies, school girls, all of them, framed by a background of hair flowing loose and unfettered, save per haps bright ribbon loosely entwined among it, down the back of their plain dresses, and as the loud voice of the poFtly C. second fiddler" called ou "ladies grand change" my hand instinct. lively reaches across the quadrille to grasp the soft, warm hand that is reaching from the other side for mine, and away we trip to the music, we -four ladies right hand round, left hand back " to the side of our partners. loved every girl there; not an enemy nor a particular friend among them. ltis all there, plain as day, Sophy, the fine art waltz instead of the mooern hug, the stately 6reman's dance and the opera reel. The rac- quet and german were not in vogue then, and the ,ip-toe schotische. can hear the dust on the floor grit under the footsteps of the many dancers, they step so light. But, my dear, away back out of sight, something very like tears are keeping time with the even tread to the music, and the glimmer of the chande- Tier grsws faint and dim. One by one the sweet girl faces are clouded with conscious guilt; one by one they drop out and into-God only knows what and where-until few are left in the ball room as pure as when they entered. Why did the schoolgirl purity blight so soon? l will tell you, Sophy. The lib. ertine, with his soft glance and captiva- ting manner was there. can hear you asking, "ls he not every where else? ?" Yes, but he is not pressing your hand and encircling your waist, to whisper studied compliments into your ears, stud jed with the intention of entrapping your confidence and victimizing your pride. No other place is so well ad ap.ed to hts lnsinuating flatteries as the ball room, in no other place will you fall so easily into the snare he sets to trap your upsuspect- ing feet.
 Perhaps the girls of that old ballroom, (the tallen ones, of course) have felt my hands reaching out to them as they be gan to grow dizzy with the final fall, jus, as it did in the grand change of the quad rifle |; it was plying hand that longed to draw them back to the old place, but the distance between us had become a wide one of ear,h-we could not reach across as we used to. think it m st be the tears that make the light seem SO dim aow to what it did then.
 wili answer your questions, Sophy, by adding another to them. Do you think you had better dance and if so, why?

Inoculation for Pleuro-Pneumonia.

ST. LOUIS April 13-The Rural World will
publish tomorrow letter from DR.. Paul Pa
quin, State Veterinarian of Missouri, who is
now in Paris studying under M. Pasteur and
hisco-laborers. on thevarious contagious diseases
of Europe which we have in America The
letter is one of great interest to those who have
given any thought to pleuro pneumonia, in that
the Doctor expresses the conviction that RENE
dial efforts are of no avail when the disease
has become seated He says: I'm contagious
pleuro pneumonia, which threatens the vast
stock raising interests of the United States no
other treatment should be employed in my
opinion, than preventive ones; for as it has been
so often demonstrated, the disease can rarely, if
ever, be cured by medicine, and 1t is certainly
favorng the spread Of it to attempt such treat
ment as the preventive measures which have
been recommended and criticised. Two. and
only two, in my humble belief, should be en-
ployed-one, inoculation; the other. the slaugh-
tering of every diseased animal"
Dr. Paquin seems. from the tenor of his letter.
to be thoroughly convinced of the usefulness Of
incubation and of its efficiency. an opinion
which, as yet, has hardly found favor with the
leading authorities in this country, but rather
the reverse. The letter is pregnant with sug
gestive points, and will be read with interest by
veterinarians and cattemen.

Three Sensational Murders.

LOUISVILLE, April 13.-Information reached
here to-day of three sensational murders in Bell
county, Kentucky, during the past week.
Elihu Saylor married sister of VIM. Shell.
The couple quarreled, and the woman deserted
him. The husband went in search OF his wife,
accompanied by young Shell, her brother; they
found her in Pneville, hid in a smoke-house.
Saylor forced her to go with him, and as they
started away, Shell shot Saylor through three
times, MORALLY wounding him. Saylor was one
of the men who murdered VIM. Hoskins aud his
daughter, about year ago.
In the second murder. Berry Turner started
out, saying he was going to kill his man to-day.
Meeting man named Lewis, he leveled his gun
and shot him dead without warning
The third case occurred on Mclean creek. A
number of conntrymen had gathered at house,
and, after engaging in drunken frolic, got into
a general fight When the smoke OF battle
cleared away, Beth Goodin was found dead, and
Goodin. was stretched on the floor with one eye
shot out and his nose shot off.
