A GENTLEMAN at San Antonio thus
writes THE GAZETTE, and the delicate
blending of fact and figures is one that
appeals ever to the appreciation of news
papers:
This day forty-eight years ago I landed in
GAINESVILLE, Tex, then the principal town in
North Texas, and many changes have l wit
messed since that time, and none more apparent
than in your commercial city, now one of the
emporiums of great state, fast approaching
the front in the sisterhood of our national COM
monweath. rendering compliments of the sea-
son with exchange No. 1872 from Texas National
Bank, this city, on National Exchange Bank,
Dallas, am as ever.

Now THAT the election is over in Boston
and the Protestant churches have gained
what they sought, the clerical zealots
their un-C Christian attacks upon the Cath
Ole church, which has the same aims and
the same purposes as that of the PrOtes-
tant church. This derogation of in num-
bers and zeal at least, the greatest relig-
ious organization that exist to-day is the
result of ignorance. The lack of Chris
tan sympathy and fellowship that this
unwise controversy has revealed is indeed
lamentable.

Christmas Under the Polar Star.

In Southern Lapland, should the house.
holder neglect to provide an ample store
of fuel for the seasons needs, in popular
belief the disguised Yule-swains or Christ
mas COLLINS will so befoul the wood pile
that there shall be no getting at its con-
tents. There, also, it is that the girl
who wishes, nuptially speaking, to learn
her fate, places a table in the center of
a vacant chamber, and on it two glasses
the one of water, the other of brandy;
then, taking broom, she must sweep
the room three times carefully, against
the sun; and if she is to enter the mar
ried state her future husband will appear
before she completes the third round and
drink from the water glass if sober
man, or from the brandy tumbler if ne
be a drunkard.

OF First Importance.
Coleman Progress.

THE GAZETTE of Tuesday publishes the
full text of bill to be introduced before
the next legislature by Senator Jarvis OF
Tarrant county providing for more and
better roads, and placing t in the power
of the county commissioners to order
elections on such matters at any time
they may see fit. This is as it should be.
One great disadvantage Texas has always
labored under is the miserable condition
of her public roads, and now that she is
trying to induce immigration it should be
considered one of the first and most i'm
portant moves to secure them.

THE QUESTION IS NOT "NTER-
EST'' ONLY.

Isn't our esteemed contemporary, THE
GAZETTE, drawing the long Iow-that is
stretching the blanket as it were-in claim
ing that the state ''taxes'' the settlers on state
lands S64 year? This alleged tax is the inter-
est on the money value of the lands that the
settler occupies, and is getting the use of. The
state sells him $40 acres of land for $3.50, and
charges him interest at the rate of per cent. Il
year on the deferred payments. He can pay the
S2S0 in cash if he wants to, and in that event he
escapes the so-called ''tax'' of S64 year. But
suppose he borrows the $12SO from a money
lender, to purchase his land outright from the
state and pays the ruling rate of Interest, u per
cent, though he no longer pays the ''taX' of
S64, he pays an interest charge of Sl53 80 year.
The question is, whether it is better to pay the
state per cent. interest, or to pay a money
lender II per cent? Fort Worth Mail.
1t is the poor man who settles a new
country, and the man who goes into West
or Northwest Texas and makes Il home
and creates taxable values is worth as
much to the state as the state is worth to
him-if not more. The man who goes
out west and aids in developing that Sec
ton pays interest enough in opening up
new country. If the state is Indifferent
to the settlement of the west, it can hold
the lands; but, in that case, the discus
sion of a state immigration fund is incon-
sistent. If the state would find profit in
the settlement of West and Northwest
Texas, then the state should not charge
men for producing that profit to the state.

MY LOVER.

Years agone, in my days of youth,
l married d man for aye;
never asked if my love would last
Until we both should die.
He is grown stout and STOPPING now,
His head is gray and bald,
And sometimes l half forget me
He ever was aught but old.
But 1 have handsome loveri
A bold. bad woman am 1?
How could 1 resist his sweet, sweet kiss,
Or help if my heart leap high
When his strong young arms enfold me,
His red cheek S laid to mine,
And my soul is drunk with loving,
As men are drunk with wine?
My husband leans DER my shoulder,
He sees what have writ;
l clasp, like a band, his dear OLD hand,
And slip my own in it.
This handsome and gay young lover
As well his heart has won;
And we worship him together,
For my lover is our son.
