Texas Is Getting There.
Kaufman Review.


Texas is now the red 1ag that infames
the wild-eyed Republican bull. Because
Texas dared to pick up e Democratic
majority of 1874 1855, she is assaiied from
one end Of the Blaine line to the other
with all sorts Of missiles, from popgun
to 70 ton egg. We love Texas for the
enem es she has made. There she stands
an empire; once G free Republican; des-
tined to be the first CT American states :;
properly denoted by one Lone Star, but 3
star Of magnificent proportions and
glorious Brightness; people by the best
blood Of the Union and the north and the
south; dominion cspScious enough to
put New England in her apron pocket
and not feel its presence; who could sit
down on New York and Pennsylvania,
and have skirt room to spare for Ohio;
Massachusetts not being big enough to
make thimble for her fore1nger, and
Maine ebOu. the size of her small toe.
In 1900 the likelihood Is that the Ger sus
will show population of 5000, 600 for
Texas. She will have more representa-
tives han New York in Congress.
She will be the seat of political power
in the nation. Future presidents are be-
ing born In Texas at the presen' moment.
She can afford to have them abuse her
She likes 1t. She hopes they'll keep it
up. It advertises her. Meanwhile che
has no apology to make for casting SD
overwhelming vote against the tattooed
mau of Picks Dime Museum, the
Plu ned AnsDias OF the state of Msine,
the Presidential nominee Of the star rout-
ere. The banner state in the Democratic
column, soon to be the empire state Of
the Union, let Gil states thereof salute
the sate Of Texas.
Long may the yellow rose OF Texas
bloom under the Lone Star, brightest OF
all the stsrs in the American galaxy Of

The tinting is the real Rose du Bari
We thought there were only five vases in
Europe, the finest existing examples OF
this beautiful ware. We now know
there are seven. The sixth and seventh
stand before you. gentlemen.
Another round of applause greeted
the conclusion of this short speech. The
bidding began. Mr.. and Mrs. James
Fitzroy stood in the corner unnoticed,
breathless with suppressed excitement.
No one needed them. They again played
second fiddle to their own property.
Five hundred pounds was the first bid
for the pair. A cheer emphasized the
spirited start. A cool thousand was,
however, soon reached. Then there was
a pause, amid silence which could be
felt and almost heard. Only three bid
ers were left in. Every one understood
that they were gathering up their forces
for the final conflict.

tioneer remarked quietly.
The hint was taken, and the bidding
began again. & Fifteen hundred gum

pounds. Mrs. Fitzroy marks her ap-
probation of the gravity of the situation
and her own good luck in true feminine
fashion, by promptly fainting.
1t reads like romance, yet happens to
be perfectly true.
About the same time a girl chances to
die of starvation. One of the weekly
papers saw fit to couple the episode of
the vases and the death of the girl to-
gether, although the two things were
quite distinct. The effort was lyrical,
and the last couplet ran:
''But she was only common clay.
And these were Rose du Barri."
A puff of smoke rises up into the air
and curls in graceful spiral curves to the
ceiling, where it hovers until its identity
is lost, owing to the fact of it's being
joined by other unsubstantial emanations
from the same source.
''But you are Robert Fitzroy?" queries

minutes after the narrator of the story
had finished.

THE TIME TO HATE.

/ have a friend-I mean, a foe
Whom cordially ought TO hate;
But somehow can never seem
To lay the feud between Us straight.
When apple boughs are full of bloom,
And Nature loves her fellow-men
With all the witchery of spring
How can you hate a fellow then1
And then when summer comes, with days
Full Of long and languid charm,
When even water-iilies sleep
On waves without a thought of harm,
When underneath the shadiest tree
Ny hammock hangs in idlest state,
l were an idiot to get up
Out of that hammock just to hate.
Then harvests come. If mine is big,
l am too happy with my store;
If small, I'm too much occupied
With grubbing round to make it more,
In dim Iecesses of my m nd;
l have no idle hour to spend
In hunting up the bitter foe
Who simply ought to be my friend.
In winter? Well, in winter-ugh!-
Who would add hate to winds that freeze
All love and warmth that can get
l want in such dull days as these.
No, nc, dear foe; it is no use;
The struggling year is at an end;
/ cannot hate you If [ would,
And you must turn and be my friend.
