"Well, l hardly know. The force

All this time the chief was sharp

his eyebrows. There was an air of
determination and energy about her
that pleased him Ee was not a
man to tolerate drones on the edito-
rial fosee Of the Bugl6

after his inspection Of the candidate
was ended
A CLEAN Of satisfaction flashed in
the inquisitive gray eyes.
'What shall / have to do?n the
young lady inquired.

the ex ~hanges and make up the news

special attention TO such matters as

"Seven dollars a week will be

"What would you gives man in

Ten dollars, probably. =

You cannot be expected to do

"Oh!"
The engagement was ratified, and
the chief, after finishing the editing
of his weekly, departed in search of
a boardlng-place for his new assis-
tant. Two days afterward Miss
Julia Finch was installed in the Bugle
sanctum.
There was only single room for
the editorial force, nailed off at one
end and provided with four desks
and tables. The new coadjutor sat
on one side of the room, with her
back to the others. The chiefs po-
sition was such that he could observe
her.
When Miss Finch entered the Of

That worthy did not forsake his Ia
BILE, yet, as his duties were mostly
out of doors, his Intervals of after
noon work in the office were brief.
He was studiously polite to the new
assistant Indeed, being a devotee
of "the sex, he made some advances
toward a mild filtration. But as
these were firmly discountenanced
-Julia's mind being strictly upon
business intent--he soon withdrew
into the region Of polite common
places.
There was TO be d woman S con
vention at Helmford about this tlnid
and it naturally occurred to the chief
how appropriate it would be for The
Bugle to represent itselfby woman
He suggested this idea to Julia, who
received it with delight On the
day Of the convention she departed

notebook, railway pass and certis

A blind horse belonging to an Ohio farmer

Last fall a citizen of Ann Arbor purchased
a mustang mare from drove that was sold

handsome little mustang colt. The colt was
perfect, but peculiar feature is that when
born it had perfectly formed COUNTERPART

At the big rabbit drive nine miles from

First Rain For three Mon this :.

San Antonio. Aug 14.-For the first
time in over three months rain fell
heavily tn, oughout this section to-day.
REPORTS from the towns on the Sunset
Railway-Seguin, HARDWOOD, Lulling,
Gonzales, Lockhart and other-report
very heavy fall. Some water fell
along the International line, and due
north, on the Arkansas Pass, it was
general. Everybody looks refreshed.
Tanks were drying up, the ground
was cracking open, and crops, partic-
ularly cotton, were suffering greatly.
The rains this evening are worth
thousands of dollars to the southwest.

Canvassing for Groceries.

1t is more than year ago that the
grocery stores began canvassing from
house to house daily for orders for
groceries. One began it and others
were forced into it in self defence.
The system has been tried thorough
ly and, it is drawing it mild to say,
that it is not satisfactory either to the
customers or to the groceryman prac-
ticing it. 1t is very expensive to the
grocerymen and annoying to the peo-
pie, and there is very general dispo-
sition to abolish it. If it could be put
to vote the vote would be unami-
nous. The only trouble is that like
all other habits when once fixed it is
hard to get rid OF. A movement is on
foot to abolish 1t by asking merchants
practising it, to pledge themselves to
drop it. 1t is to be hoped the move
ment will be successful. Citizens
will, we think say amen to the effort.

Negro Detection.

Washington, Aug, 13.-J. Milton
Turner, of St. Louis, who issued the
call for the recent Colored Democratic
Convention at Indianapolis, in con
versation with The Times Democrat

the negro vote ofthis country by con-

Indiana for Cleveland and Thurman.
In that State there is already dis.
affection of from 5000 to 1000 negro

Cleveland and Thurman. "These

infectious disease in that city, but that
there has not been a single case OF

Immediately after the execution of
Maxwell the sheriff was besieged on
all sides by swarms of applicants who
wanted piece of the rope used IN
hanging the murderer. The applicants
for these CHASTITY relics said they want.
ed to get fragment OF the hempen
cord as memento Of the great case.
The matter was left in the hands of a
deputy sheriff, who took away the rope
without giving anybody pieces. 1t is
expected that he will be pursued for
weeks by the morbid crowd who de.
sire relics of the execution. Doubt
less the deputy has good chance to
turn this disgusting craze to his own
profit if he desires, for there are many
persons who would not hesitate to pay
handsomely for a few inches of the
rope. 1t would be good idea to
balk such relic hunters IN the future
