THE LONELY MAN

There ere l 400, 900 900 people living on
the planet which We irhabit. And yet
there is now and then 8 man who wonders
what the TEST Of US will do when he dies.
There are people in "5cciety" who
honestly think that sil the world closes
its eyes when we lie down TO sleep. There
are men who fear 10 act according to
their own convictions, because, perhaps,
ten persons in a crowd OF 1,400, 900, 600
will laugh at them. Why, il s man could
only realize every moment what bust
ling, busy, fdssy important little atom he
is in sll this great ant hill of important,
fussy little atoms, every dsy he would re,
gard himself Less, and think still less Of
the other molecules in the corral.

RIGID COURT IouRTrE.

"Her Majesty" writes London cor
respondent. "ests at state dinners with

once apparent. 1t enables her Majesty to
get bstter grip on the wing Of a chick
en-. In wrestling with the common hen
of commerce st the dinner-tsbIe she must
be handled without gloves, CT the battle
is lost. Gloves would also be very much
in the way when Her Majesty desired 10
clutch an e1r of cora by esca end, the tip
snd the lobe, SO to speak, while she
gnawed at It smidships. You see, there
are q hundred emergencies thst might
arise during the progress Of state din

An INQUIRY.

Under date of March II, well-knowr
citizen of Fort Worth writes The GA

Can't you get the Tarrant county immigration
committee to join In with the Panhandle and
have three or four hundred thousand spccla
copies of the edition contemplated by TIKI

other time could such number Of papers be
dlstribu ed so judiciously and speedily az now
And owing to the percent excitement brought
about mainly by the efforts of TER GAZETTE
It would be sought after with ayidi'y. Not only
would 1t advertise Texas, but Fort Worth, the
Panhandle and THE GAZETTE specially. II
would do more than all other agencies, more
than million pamphlets; and then its adver-
Using columns would not only commend Fort
Worth to the outside world, but their names

truly, j,
The Tarrant County Immigration So
ciety is not supplied with funds adequate
to the purpose and THE GAZETTE was de.
tered from prosecuting work on its
special edition BY facts already stated in
these columns, viz: the drafts on the
people TO maintain local immigration
bureaus and TO compensate locsl journals
for special editions. THE GAzETTE's
panhandle and West Texas edition"
would have presented comprehensive
write-up of the sections named and en-
braced facts never before compiled for
publication in any form. Much valuable
material has been collected and may
be used If any county desires
a special write-up, but the cut
lock WAS such as to discourage the COM
pletion of the work contemplated in this
special edition. THE GAZETTE has been
doing ell in its power TO advertise and
build up Texas, and will continue to do
so through its regular daily editions, but
it could not, in justice to itself, go on
with work, for an adequate compensa-
ton OF which there was such en- unfat!er-

International copyright law has been

to-day in this country no such protection
exists, ard the United States stands alone
in the attitude Of saying to intellectual
workers, that, as nation, there is here
no recognition of literary property. DR..
Van Dyge in the pamphlet mentioned
deals with this want as question in eth

his argument is that by the everlasting
law OF compensation, the fact that our
country is being flooded with class of

to arouse statesmen from their
apathy and enlist thinkers in

TOO OLD TO BE GOOD

No, Edward, it hasn't. You are cor
rect; the fiIg of our beloved country has
no SEATS CT centuries. 1t is 3 flag without
his DRY. II is no futtering disry. 1t is
s flag that makes history, and il makes
good history, 100. You keep right along
with your studies, and don't grieVe be-
cause the fsg isn't as old as the grave.
The older tisg is, the more stains there
are on it; the more wrong it has pro-
teCted, the more evil and shame and
iniquity, tyranny and foul sbus+ it has
proudly flosted over. A 1ag 500 years old
IS very apt to be ashamed OF every thread
in its fabric. Would you compare the
vicious old sinner Of eighty years with
the laughing bsba in the cradlt?

BAD NEWS OF NAME.

We hear bad news from Maine. One
of its papers has been making an elaoo-
rate investigation as TO the churches Ct
that state, and reports discouraging
condition of things, there being no less
than one-third of the houses OF worship
closed, while one. hall Of the people Of
the state are non-cnurch-goers. The re-
turns from the CANVASS show that out Of
1852 churches in the state, All are vacant.
The following figures show how different
denominations are affected: Union church,
Is with pastors and II vacancies. Congre-
gstional churches, 156 with pastors and &c
vacancies. Baptist, 12l with past rs and
SO vacancies; Free Baptist, 159 with pas
tors and 81 vacancies; Methodist, 279
with pastors and only IS vacancies; Uni
Tersalist, So churches with pastors and Sc
vacant pulpits; Quaker, s churches open
and four churches closed; "Christian,"
43 churches open and ~ closed; Episco-
pal, 80 churches open and closed /;
Catholic, As churches open and closed /;
Advent, Is churches open and 16 closed /;
Unitarian, 10 churches open and closed.
Besides these there are l Lutheran, l
Free church, l Christ's Faith church ,
Jewish synsgogues, 2 Christ's Disci-
Piles, Presbyterian, New Jerusalem
church and Shaker churches open. This
state of affairs is no credit to Maine.
One-half the people non-church-goers,
one-third of the churches vacant Why
is it2 One church edifice at least has
been transformed into skating rink.
Samuel Johnson said in his life of Milton
ITO be OF no church IS dangerous. Religion
will glide by degrees out of the mind unless
be invigorated snd reimpressed by external
ordinances, by stated calls o worship, and the
salutary influence Of example"
The master bard also speaks good
word for church-going in this wise:
"And nave not forgotten what the inside OF
church is u ade of, am pepper-corn."
All Of which is respectfully submitted
for the consideration of the Pine Tree
state, which is so often held up to US as
a good pattern in law and order and
morality, but which it is not by any
means.

HOW TO MANAGE SERVANTS.
1t doesn't lie in some people to get
along with servants. They have no tact,
no knsck OF managing. There is great
deal in managing a servant in such wsy
that the minion isn't aware OF it. But
some people don't know how to do this,
and consequently servant that is a Jewel
in my well-regulated household is utterly
useless in my neighbours service. Nov,
not long ago had occasion to part with
a colored man. didn't want to cast him
out upon the cold world, because l feared
that II the world got too cold he would
come back to me. So unloaded
him upon s neighbor. I never had G
ripple of trouble with him. l had en-
ployed him ostensibly to groom 8 horse
occasionally and nov the lawn once or
twice year. l soon Learned that he was
running an African dormitory and po-
ker layout in my stable, and the general
appearance CT my premises finally brought
me letters from the American Missionary
Union, asking permission to establish one
of their Congo out stations b=tHeen my
barn and the kitchen. This, as much as any
thing else, induced me to part with AL
bert. He shipped with me under the nom
de plume Of Albert Wilson, but noticed
that some Of the natives called him
"Lame jake" and he requested me-,
in writing his letter of recon-
mendation, to call him Thompson
EssleY. By and by my neighbor
said to me: "That man, Sam Norton,
you sent me-did you ever have any trou-
BILE with him?" l said, "No, ntvlr."
"Well," said my nelghbor, 81 can't get
along with him. He won't do one thing
1 tell HIM, not thing" "Ol, WELL" l
said, che tried that en- me, toe, when he
first came, but l settled that in short
order" Chow did you msLsge?" asked
my neighoor. "Well," l told him,
quit telling him TO do anything" And do
you know my neighbor was re8l angry
with me, and abused me, and said l was
q fool and had deceived him. You see,
be had no tact. That very night Albert
landed on my cosst again. He copf1e
to me that his resi- name Wss Jsmes L.
clair, and he brought with him his broth
er, whom he introduced as Walter Tay-
lor. They took up their old quarters IN
the barn, and boarded with me for week
before l WAS able to secure them places
in the county jul. They both left me
with severe regret, and Albert said, In
parting, that any time wanted him to
come back, letter addressed to Charles
Martin would reach bin. Albert was
