"why is 1t that you are so persistent in
your refusal to drink wine; do you think II
wrong?" asked Mrs. Thurston, wife of
few months of her friend and gucst, Mrs
Wilson.
A look of pain came into the eyes of Mrs
Wilson, and she said: "Katie, you are little
more than child, and hope you will par
don my plain speaking, for interest in you
prompts 1t. Experience has taught INC
that wine drinking almost invariably ends

only destroyed my happiness, but dragged
my husband and brother down to ruin.
They killed themselves from drink.
MY husband being in delicate health, his
physician recommended the daily use OF
vino as tonic, and of course my brother
drank On occasional glass too. In q few
months my eyes wore opened to the danger
for saw they both not only drank moro
wine, but other stronger drinks. Then
used every means in my power to induce
them to abstain, but that terrible thirst fol
stimulants had been acquired and oil my
efforts wero in vain"
Mrs, Thurston felt annoyed at the implied
want of faith in her husbands stability oi
purpose, and coldly said: 81 sympathizd
with you in your troubles, but you over rate
tho danger of moderate drinking. / have
no fears for Fred, he possesses so much
firmness. besides he needs II after o hard
days work. 1 notice glass of wine re-
wives him and l alloays insist on him TAX

Afterwards she repeated the conversation
she and Mrs. Wilson had had to her hus-
band. His face flushed, and he exclaimed;

the breath out of the nostrils of those
who howled for war with Mexico,
without taking upon themselves the
trouble to examine into the grounds
for such war, or caring whether it

and want to feel that war is neces

fear there are Americans that would

HOW TROY WAS BUILT.

Ono day Apollo, sat him down,
Beaide Samander river,
And as no lightly touched his harp,
The reeds began to quiyor
lie idly played u little tune,
Tho wavolots went 10 dancing,
While all about on ovory hand
Came troes and brambles prnnoing.
Tho birds camo Aocking TO his sido,
Their sweetest music singing;
And from tho hills aud plains. around
Camo magic ochos ringing.
Tho fiahes climbed upon tho banks,
And sat thon down 10 listoni
The flowers raised their dropping heads
The dows began TO gliston.
Two little stones camo frisking by,
And rushed 10 meet each othor;
Thoy sat themselves upon tho plain
And soon thero camo another.
They came and oamo until thero grow
A wondrous little dwelling,
With windows hero and windows thore,
And rooms beyond tho telling.
Apollo said: ''If such place
Grows from little ditty,
If play grand, old, rousing tune,
Perhaps I'll havo q city"
As no wont to work with might and main
Stones flow in quito shower;
And soon upon the plain there stood
A high aud mighty tower,
And as the music fastor grew,
Game walls and houses rushing;
And all about upon the plain
Camo rills and fountains gushing.
Jove, from Olympus lofty hight,
Gnzed down in greatest wonder;
"a mighty city thero," said he,
"He's built, VOW to thunder"
Minerva, wisely shook her head,
While down came smiling Venus:
"You have lovely place." said sho,
"We'll name il now between u.s."
And then dread Mars came dashing down,
And then tho love-god Cupid,
Who listened TO them talk and talk,
And thought them wondrous stupid.
Fleet Mercury, paused upon his way
Astounded by the clatter
why, what fuss you're having here,
Say, tell us what's the matter2"
Grim Vulcan fastened from his cave,
And on the wonder gazes;
While Orpheus touched his tunoful lyro,
And sang the sweetest praises.
And then Diana camo to see,
And then the lovely graces,
With admiration in their eyes,
Surprise upon their faces.
And soon old Neptune hastonod up
To do his share OF talking,
And in his train with solemn mein,
Came mighty Tritons stalking.
At last Apollo, smiled and said:
"I guess I'll do tho naming,
I think you area cheeky set
My city to be claiming.
Fair Troy thon its name shall bo,
A place of wealth and beauty;
And to guard it from oil wrong and harm
My first and highest duty"

rpot Knights and ParlOr Soldiers

The Austin Statesman had very
funny article, soon aftor tho drill at
Galveston, in which it stated that an
Austin company would infalhbly have
won one Of tho prizes and "only lost
it by scratch" Ono of tho COM
pany "had his thumb in the wrong
position" while another, "in one OF
his movements, grasped his gun bar
rel about half an inch too low."
Ono might suppose tho above was
written in burlesque, but not so-it
was in dead earnest. What q CON-
montary on the Aummery of this drill
ing business. Only fancy soldiers in
actual service looking after the po-
sition OF their thumbs or the precise
place to grasp their muskets! 1t
must be obvious to everybody of good
sense that these drills are useless, to
say the least, SO fur as any prepara'
ton for actual service is concerned.
It is more than doubtful whether the
Houston Light Guards would ever
be heard of in case of actual war,
while the result of tho late war abun-
dainty demonstrated that raw, un-
dMlled volunteers soon make the
best of soldiers. These fancy drills
hold about the same relation to actual
service as the calisthenic performances
of fashionable academies to real ex-
ercise.
Tt seems to us there is great deal
of truth in the following, which we
CODY from the Cleburne Chronicle:
Interstate drills are humbugs and
real drawback to military discipline
and efficiency. Tt is kind of hurra
arrangmentand acts on citizen soldiers
much like unbridled license after vic
tory on soldiers in the field. They
should be abolished by state laws,
and if it is really desirable to main
tain an efficient, militia organization,
the States should enact some laws
for its encouragement and discipline.
The training q soldier receives in the
field has nothing in common with
the experience he has in the interna-
tional drill camp. Indeed, the latte r
is a school for uniting soldiers for
actual service. A transition from
Galveston to the battlefield would be
as abrupt as from the drawing room
TO scenes of carnage. When the state
troops are called together it should
be by express command of law, and
the purpose should be for inuring
the mon to experiences somewhat
similar to those to be met in the ac-
tual campaign against an enemy.
State encampments, where the march,
the guard duty, the discipline and
other irksome duties of the cam
paign, were strictly enforced, and
technical correctness in drilling were
made only secondary, would be a
schooling to make real soldiers of
our military boys. Let the State
stop the drawing-room military par
AIDES, and provide annual encamp-
ments where the real duties of the
soldier are practiced.
