MR.. srEeRINs, TRIALS.
why 10 win Never Again Go Travclln
with His Wife.


with His Wife.
Mr.. S ebbns has been an admirable
husband for ten years, and you will
sec. after reading what he suffered,
that he is not cruel in vowing that he
will never again g travelling with his
wife. She is exceedingly domestic,
and his trip few days ago kept her
away from her home bed over night
for the first time in years. Stebbins
was already tired when they took the
six-somothing train for Philadelphia.
A friend met him in the Office of q
hotel next day, and says he never saw
n man 50 discouraged. Stebbins con-
fided his troubles to the friend, and,
though the case is not without
parallel, it is of sufficient in
terest 10 the general public to let
it CO. Stcbbins says that the journey
to Philadelphia completed his ex-
haust ion, and he was truly delighted
10 be usherol, about eleven o'clock,
into elegant hotel apartments. Steb-
bins remained in tho drawing-room to
look nj some evening papers and smoke
a restful cigar while PAMELA unmade
her toilet He spoke to her at 1l:45,
at 1915 and ~ 1885. o. all these &C.
casions tho lady was either brushing
her hair, or folding some things, or
searching in toilet bag, and she
would not let him go to bed before her
for fear he would fall instantly asleep,
leaving her lonesome and nervous in
tho strange place. At all events, the
poor man was taking his first nap
when PAMELA said: NOi, dear! 1 have
forgotten to wind my watch" and
out of bed she piled; coming back
she asked him il lie had put his cough
medicine in his satchel or his overcoat
Trying to think of the locality of that
bottle walked him completely, and the
clock was striking three when lie went
to sleep again. At 3;15 PAMELA said
that she must have glass of water
and he fetched it, At $3.50 she heard
something picking at tho lock, and
asked him about burglars nippers and
how they used jimmies. That got him
into cold perspiration, with disquiet-
ing conversation. At four she knew
gas was escaping, and went around to
examine all the burners She came back
to bed with her feet like cakes of ice.
At 4:10 she knew she had forgotten 10
bolt the drawing-rOom door and her
,1n1.t hn nj
Stcbbins made that excursion. AT
4:15 she sat up in bed and whispered
in n curdling voice that some one was
concealed in the room; she had heard
strange sounds in the corner. Steb-
bins listened. 1t was heat going of
in the pipes. and he explained that to
her At 4;30 she knew n spider had
bitten her hand; sho must got some
camphor and up she got
Stebbins thinks that PAMELA was
out twice during little nap that he
had, but ut 5;l1 he was brought up
standing BY hideous scream. There
was II mouse in the room; she had seen
it run up the lace curtain; he
could SEQ it, too, if he looked
1t was an unusually largo and ferocious
mouse. that shook the lace curtain in
n threatening manner This discus
sion and its consequent excitement
kept poor Stebbins awake till six. The
man was trying TO get forty winks and
prevent having n headache next day.

A Hint to Advertisers.

John Wanamaker the great Phila
delphia merchant, spoke as follows
about advertising: ~ never in my
life used such a thing as a poster
dodger or handful. My plan fol
fifteen years has been 10 buy so much
space in the newspaper and fill it up
with what want. l would not give
an advertisement in newspaper of400
circulation for ,000dodgers or posters
If l wanted 10 sell cheap jewerly or
run a lottery scheme, l might use
posters, but would not insult decent
reading public with handbills. The
class ofpeople who read such thing are
poor material TO look to for support
in mercantile affairs. 1 deal directly
with the publisher. l say to him:
How long will you let me run a col
umn of matter through your paper
for 500 or $500, as the case might
be l let him do the figuring and if l
think he is not trying TO take more
than his share, give him the copy

We have not found time sooner
since the convention for "few re
marks we have to offer on that body
and it's doings. 1t WAS a singular
compound of homogeneous clements.
Its prompt no mination OF Ross
Wheeler and Stayton indicated apre-
dominance of its better elements,
and led to the confident hope OF
change in the court of appeals and
treasurer. But the old stagers asked
for time, rallied and logrolled so as to
prevent the hoped for change. No
body will question that Gen. McCul
loch had superior right, reason and
merit on his side; bnt all in vain
But it was encouraging that Lubbock
was so badly scared as to pledge
himself not again to be n candidate
for treasurer. In our opinion he owes
this humiliation to his course on prohi-
bition last year. Apropos of tho ninth
plank of the Fort Worth platform,
while we think it could not have been
passed ut Dallas rs an original prop
osition, it was struggled through in
the shape OF clause endorsing rs a
whole the platform of st. Louis and
Fort Worth. Said 9th resolution is
beneath the contempt of all indie
pendent minds, but its endorsement
will no doubt lose tho democratic
ticket thousands of votes in Novem-
Der.

Great lingo.

Mr.. Blaine is nothing il not bold.
When he found it would he vain oil
the Republican party to deny its re,
sponsibility for the great trusts oil
this country, he set about demon,
strating that they were not such Dad
things after all-that they were
purely private concerns and not to be
interiered with by any one. AGAIN,
when the presidents message had
made it manifest to the whole land
that nothing but the partisanship OF
the Republican senators had pre-
vented u wise and satisfactory settle
ment of the Canadian question: he
takes the bull by tho horns, and
openly declares that none but the
Rrpublican party should be permitted
to settle it. In the Associated rress
report Undoubtedly revised by HIM
self Of Mr.. Blaine's Watervliie
speech of Monday evening occurs
this passage: "The speaker believed
that congress would not Crafty the
president, and that the American
people would put the whole question
over to next year, by which time tue
Republican administration would DC
in power, when the question con'u
be equitably settled" That tins h"s
been throughout the guiding purpose
of the Republican senators IS pam
to all, but all of them have lacked
either the honesty or the courage to
admit it. Indeed, more nudaclous
declaration has rarely been heard IN
the history of American politics he
taliation is to be forced, war invited
and lingo played to it's full limit. but
no Democratic administration is to
be permitted to relieve the situation
The people are to be persuaded tina
our fishermen have been wronged
our flag insulted and the dignity OF
the nation endangered, but all TINS
must be kept a-going until the lie

The Lampasas Dispatch publishes
the following review OF the cattle
situation: :.
More than year ago we predicted
there would be II scarcity OF cattle as
soon as the yearlings and two-year-
old steers then in the country were
worked off. This was clearly to De
seen from the great number OF hell,
ers that were spayed and the rush or
COWS to the markets. In fact cattle
were SO low that nobody tried to
raise them Now, as is always the
case where they are neglected. 1t Is
beginning to DO apparent that the
supply is short, with every indication
that it will be short the next three or
four years. The first indication OF
this shortage was the scarcity OF the
market last winter, which caused
prices to advance sharply for time
and induced heavy shipments, caus-
ing q reaction, but it caused dealers
to start to buying for future supply,
and sales in Texas, though quiet and
at private terms, have been large the
past few months. A year or two ago
when buyer came to this section ne
was anxious to have-his name appear
in our personal columns. Now he
shuns us altogether, or asks as II spe-
cial fauor that his name shall not ri
Dear, for fear that it will create the
impression that he is too anxious to
buy, when the fact is, he is afraid bis
competitors will find out whrt he Is
doing. All these things are pointers
and 90 to show that cattle are good
property to hold and feed, and he
will be lucky man who has Il few
good beeves for market in the neA'

Awkward, but Funny.

Tho late Democratic State Conyen'
ton found time from its deliberations
TO Gdopt the following resolution;
We, the Democrats OF Texas, in
State Convention assembled (or words
to that eiTect), ''recognizing the ST.
Louis Republic under its present
name and management as ono OF the
greatest Democratic journals OF the
country, and approaching the new
life and vigor and tho rapidly grow
ing influence of this stanchest friend
of Democracy, Texas and the South
orn people, we do hereby indorse the
Republic, commend its entcrprising
efforts, and would commend 1t to
every reader in tho State.
The ST. Louis Republic is the sue
cossor of the old st. Louis Republican,
probably the oldest leading democrat
ic paper in the Uuion.
A few days later the paper thus
influential and strongly indorscd,
had an editorial on the Texas court
of appeals, of which Judge Hurt is n
member, from which we take tho fol
lowing passage;
"Tho present court of appeals
bench is not popular. 1t is commonly
called the 'murderers' friends. There
is hardly doubt that the present
court of appeals has done more to
make lynch law popular in the state
of Texas than any other influences IN
the state combined.
Whereupon the Democratic Club
of Dallas passed another resolution
denouncing said editorial of the st,
Louis Republic us "falso and SANDER
ous." But the Republic is unques-
tionably "awoy ahead After being
SO warmly Endorsed by the State
Convention it got IN its work by
showing that tho convention had
misreprescntcd the good people OF
Texas by renomlnating the common
" called murdcrcrs' friends and pro-
moters of lynch law! What next?

to an average of Al per cent, AS it
actually passed the house and was

average rate of 424O per cent. The

Constitutional Convention.

We think the Democratic conven-
ton erred in not adopting the reso-
luton fnvoring constitutional con-
vention. That our constitution is
defective-very defoctive-is appa.
rent to the tyro in the science OF
government. Every legislature pub
licly recognizes the fact by attempt
ing to patch up the most rotten parts.
The Judiciary article, responsible MS
it is for the delays and the subver-
sions of justice, is the most radically
and glaringly defective; or rather
most radically and glaringly bad, for
our judicial system has few if any
good features. In addition to this,
the constitution has many features
that ought to be changed, and which
could be reached by individual
amendments only at great trouble
and expense. A constitutional con-
vention could not give us worse
constitution than we have, and guided
by the experience of the past it ought
to offer very much better instru-
ment.-Bastrop Advertiser.
