Fort Worth Gazette.
Private advices from Austin do not
represent the chances of libel law as
very Aattering. The Gazette appeals
to the legislature to enact some sort Of
q law, even if it is designed to still
further restrict publications in news
papers. The crying need is for some
thing definite to take the place of the
criminal code, common law and su-
preme court opinion combination that
now leaves the field open to the shys-
ter and adventurer and blackmailer.
Give the press something clear and
explicit, gentlemen, even if it be law
that will force every newspaper to en-
plCy lawyer to supervise all matter
published.
Anything would be preferable to
nothing. As the situation now is,
daily newspapers are liable any day to
convert 10 cent reputation into a
$4,000 character by simply telling
the truth pro bono publico. Frame a
law that will put stop to telling
In thepublic interest, if you will; but
give us a libel law that will clearly de-
hne the freedom the public desire to
accord to the press.

THE LITTLE FOLKS
MY Uncle Peter.


My old Uncle Peters famous relater
OF marvellous stories but my Uncle Peter
Is vigorous foe aud a rigorous hater
OF vile aud Of guile; he despises a cheater;
He's frank and sincere ON very large scale,
And this Is his manner OF telling tale;
-0h. once in the ohivalric days of old,
In the wonderful long ago,
There dwelt n Giant full bad and bold
but this is not fact, you know
In whose darksome dungeon maiden fair,
Whom atrociously he had stole;
She languishod aud wept ito be candid, there
Was no such girl, nor holel.
sBut 10 | on O rapturous morn there rode
A valorous Knight that way;
His snowy paifrey he brave bestrode
Don't credit .hts fiction, pray.
And straight he sprang from the noble steed;
His sword it cleaned in the sun,
And the dragon that guarded the gate % deed
Which ne could by no means have done)
SHe felled at n blow and with mighty force
He battered the dungeon wall,
And he seized the sorrowing maid tof course
1t never transpired at all-
And he slew the Giant the dauntless youth,
And the beauteous maid he wed
but you mustn't imagine grain Of truth
In O single word that I've saidD."
Oh, my old Uncle Peters q famous relateri
But wish, goodness me! that my Old Uncle
Peter
Could bo rather more of prevaricator-
His stories would be more absorbing, and
neater;
l wis h his integrity didn't prevail
In so stern degree-when he's telling tale.

Burned to Death to Save His COmrade.

In Belgium, some little time ago,
day laborer lost his own life that he
might save that of companion. After
the structure of new church had been
nearly, or quite completed, all that re-
NAMED to be done was the placing Of
weather-vane upon the topmost point
of the spire. To accomplish this there
was no other way than for one man to
mount the highest scaffolding that
could be put up, then for another to
stand upon his shoulders.
AS the two men made their way eau
tiouslv up the ladder to the scaffold-
ing, the first one stopped so that the
other, who was bearing his pot OF mol
ten lead and the weather-vane, could
place his feet upon his shoulders. Then
he raised himself to his full height that
the laborer might reach his work.
Thus he stood, never stirring muscle
till the work was completed, and the
laborer descending the ladder was
slowly followed by the other, amid the
shouts and cheers of the vast multi
tude who had waited in such suspense,
but their joy was soon turned into
mourning, for our hero, or the one that
acted as support, had no sooner reach
ed the ground than he dropped dead.
Fastening to him, his shoulders, arms
and chest were found to be burned to q
crisp, caused from the drippings of the
boiling lead from above him. He had
submitted to the torture, never NOV
ing, not even uttering moan, for he
knew that the slightest move would
precipitate his fellow laborer to the
ground, and from that immense height
he would be dashed to pieces. He
preferred to bear that intense agony
alone and die rather than destroy the
life of his frisnd.

victorious for his side, and in three in-

One reason I did not speak of the
United States exhibit before was that
did not find it until to-day. I happened
to see it to-day because it was a very
clear day, and had a powerful glass
with me. The truth is sometimes disa-
greeable, but what like about it is that
when mashed to earth it will invariably
rear up again upon it's hind feet and as
sert itself. The United States are poorly,
cheaply, meanly, and meagerly repre-
sented, with few exceptions.
