A STRAIGHT republican nomination one
week ago would have consolidated the
republican party in this county; faced
them towards present success as hope
fully as fusion will, and prepared them
for success in 1883, as they cannot now
hope TO be prepared by the disorganiz-
ing and disintegrating influences Of fu-
sion. There is more chance for the cleo
ton Of a straight republican ticket in
Bexar county to-day than there is for a
fusion ticket, and those who are person.
ally interested in the result would do
well to note this fact. Even now it may
not be everlastingly too late 10 undo the
folly Of last Monday.

Gum for Luck.

You have perhaps known a man who
has nothing else to do but collate in
significant details and retail them to
you as he sits beside you in the street
car or on the railway train. l know
one of these pestiferous little cusses
from whom cannot fly. The last time
saw him was on a suburban train. He
invaded my seat. and without any sort
of excuse for it began by asking me if l
chewed gum. If there is any one thing
which my infancy never knew, and
which manhood would not permit, it
was chewing gum. was glad to say
to this wretch that in this respect my
life was as spotless as the ermine which
was supposed to hang about our judi
ciary.
"Well," he said, 1.-THE chewing gum
habit is quite a curious study. Now,
you take this train, for example. Look
about you and you will discover that
nearly every man and woman IN this
car is chewing gum. They chew it on
the train, and as soon as they leave the
car the gum is taken out and carefully
put away until they take the next train,
and then out comes the gum. They
wouldn't be caught dead with chewing
gum IN their mouths when they are Mt
their places of business. But the min
ute they strike train out comes the
gum. Some of the ladies are quite
fastidious in the habit. You take an
Evanston lady. for example. Never
saw one in my life who didn't chew
gum on train. The better class carry
little gum reticules at their belts, and
when they leave the train for the street
the little roll of gum is put carefully
into the bag, and is kept there until the
wearer takes the next train. Some
times lady will forget her bag when
she is in hurry, and then she thinks
she has no luck. met one the other
day and she said to me that she had
had nothing but bad luck all day

The drowning season has arrived,
and almost every day come reports OF
those who have been sacrificed either by
their own carclessness or that of others.
Now. drowning as regular thing is
not necessary. II is the most unneces-
sary and improbable form of personal
entertainment. There is no fun in il
and no money, and yet fools rush in
and court death by too much water as
persistently as if it were the greatest fun
in the world. Men without the slight
est experience in the management of
boats set out upon the water in some
leaky cookie shell, and when any of the
numerous perils of wind and wave
threaten they have no power to avert
the danger. Stupid management upsets
the boat and the doomed man founders
into eternity. Deep water is not to be
tritled with, fact which it seems very
difficult for the ordinary run Of land.

MARRIAGE IN THE EARLY DAYS.
A Raw Justice Performs me Ceremony
In His Own Way

IN HIS own way.
[Capt. Jack era wford in N Y Worldl
Back in the early days, when the ship Of
civilization was endeavoring to push its
Prov up the valley OF the Platte and brawny
workmen were spiking down The rails of the
Union Pacific railroad, the proceedings in
some Of the courts of justice were peculiar.
Lawyers were about as scarce as they are in
the promised land, and justice not being pro-
vided with the traditional scales, performed
some remarkable guesswork At that time
was in the Indian service and for time
was stationed at Lone Tree, III the beautiful
valley of the Platte. The town consisted of
a half dozen hastily constructed houses, the
ma jority built of sods There were few
settlers near the town-hardy pioneers who
had taken up government land and who lived
in constant danger of attack srom Satan's
earthly corps, the Sioux
One of the eccentric characters of the
town was Jimmy Crane a time-beaten
frontiersman, uneducated unpublished and,
as a travelling missionary once said un-
godly. His life had been spent west of the
aui urn waters of the Missouri, and he
knew as little of the ways of civilization as
an Apache Indian knows of the modern plan
of salvation He was a dead shot with the
rifle, an ardent lover of whisky and an ex-
pert at draw poker, but aside from these he
had no religious accomplishments worth
speaking Of

game of seven-up and after the funeral it
became necessary to elect man to succeed
him With that spirit of recklessness which
characterizes the frontiersman and as rich
joke the boys nominated Jimmy, and to
carry out the joke, elected him. The high
honor so unexpectedly thrust upon the old
man broke him all up, but he at once rose to
the dignity of the position and began to
comb his hair daily. His knowledge of law
and of the duties of his position was limited
in fact he didn't know the difference be-
tween writ of replevin and an act Of con-
gress, and couldn't distinguish peace war
rant from the ten commandments but he
assumed the responsibility fearlessly, and

lady, fashionably attired, attracted great at
tention recently as she walked down Chestnut
street, apparently Indifferent to the curious
stares of the pedestrians.
The lady who was the object Of SO much at
tention was absorbed in the task of holding
heavy gold chain, with bright little boy
circled about the neck, at the other end of it.
The little fellow was dressed in a dark plush

tugging would warn him that the end Of the
chain had been reached, and he would return.

A few days after his installation in o
office young couple appeared before him to
be married. Jimmy was in a quandary.
He had never seen the marriage ceremony
performed. but determined to worry
through the embarrassing affair; as he best

him, he said:
"Dearly beloved. fe. ow citizens, these

He started in life poor country boy. He
was born in Peel county, New York state,
in 1884 His parents removed to Toronto,
Canada, when he was very young. He
never had any education except what he got
in the public schools, and that closed early.
But by sheer force of brain and will he made
his way in the world. He chose the printers
trade As an apprentice he was an earnest,
steady worker. He showed the same vim
that he now manifests in the larger walks
From being a compositor he took the mar

After that he was, attracted to Staten
