My DEAR SIR: You will doubtless be
surprised to hear from me so soon. as ]
did not promise when I left New York
that [ would write you at all while here.
But l now take pen in hand to say that
the Senate and House of Representatives
are having good deal of fun with me,
and hope you are enjoying the same
great blessing. You will wonder at first
why send in my expense account be.
fore | send in anything for the paper,
but | will explain that to you when ]
get back. At first l thought I would
not bother with the expense account till
got to your Office, but can now see
that it is going to worry me to get there
unless | hear from you favorably by re
turn mail.
When | came here I fell into the mad
whirl of society, and attracted good
deal of attention by my cultivated ways
and Jeffersonian method of sleeping with
a different member of Congress every
night.
l have not written anything for publ
cation yet, but am getting material to
gether that will make people throughout
our broad land open their eyes in aston
ishment. | shall deal fairly and openly
with these great national questions and
frankly hew to the line, let the chips
fall where they may, as l heard mar
say to-day on the floor of the house
the Willard House, l mean. But I be-
lieve in handling great political matters
without gloves, as you will remember if
you have watched my course as Justice
of the Peace and Iitterat6ur. Candor is
my leading Characteristic, and if you
will pardon me for saying so in the first
letter you ever received from me l be-
Eeye there is nothing about my whole
character which seems to challenge my
admiration for myself any more than

PGN0IUND, SUCCESS OR 30 FEE.

Aug. End occurred the first deaths in
Spring Valley, that can be laid at the
door of privation. Twin babies of Will
liam Moran died within an hour of each
other. The physician, when asked in
regard to the deaths, said they died
from the want of proper food. Moran
is a miner and has not had any work
for months. The supplies that have
reached him through the Relief Com
mittee have been few and far between.
Supplies continue to come in slowly
from the south and southwest, but not
fast enough to relieve want. If the
miners do not get to work by the time
cold weather sets in the suffering for
fuel and clothing will be great.

The family clergyman was paving a

tie boy about years Old was brought
out, as is customary on such occasions.
During his portion of the program he
showed the clergyman how nicely he
could turn handspring. He then
asked the minister if he could do that.
The minister said he guessed ne could
not now, but he could when he was a
little boy. Then you amt as smart

Fine Exhibit.

The eyes of all who enter the fair
grounds are at first attracted to Jh
windmill exhibit between the en-
trance and exposition building, and
as the walk to the hall is under
taken many persons possessed of in
curing minds stop and examine the
beautiful machinery there seen i'm mo-
ton. The exhibit is that OF the. f. f..
Collins Manufacturing company, of
San Antonio and Fort Worth, and it
is well worth anyone's time to call
and see their exhibit. The Eclipse
and Star windmills are seen i'm full
operation and it no longer remains a
problem az to the rapid annihi-
lation of the deserted wastes of
some parts of Texas. If these
windmills won't do it, what will?
Besides the windmills, there is va
ried stock Of samples of water supply
ing machinery, pumps, pipes, tanks,
etc, and everyone is reminded of the
fact that they can see more by calling
at the company's works on Houston
and st. Mary's streets.

Farm Notes.

Get the cabbage put in before the
winter. The heads should be COW
cred before the ground begins to
fl eeZe.
Plums thrive best on . clay soil
and delight in manures that are well
rotted and made into compost with
muck.
One of the essentials in securing
eggs in winter is keeping the hens
warm and comfortable. Without
warm quarters they will not lay.
If there is surplus grain or hay it
may pay to buy very poor stock to
fatten but the stock on The farm
should never be allowed to fall off in
condition.
To prevent trees blosso ming too
early In spring mulch them during
the winter, which prevents the soil
becoming warm too soon in the sea-
son.
At this season,the ewes should be
carefully attended to. They must be
ty of milk to the lambs that come in
early next tSOh.
Begin the work of trimming the
trees after the leaves fall. Such work
may be done at any time from No
vember to April, but it is best to be-
gin as soon as the weather becomes
cold.
Cover the rhu barb plants with ma
nure, as winter covering. Too
much manure can not be given, as
the plant is a gross feeder. and shows
good results when the soil is rich.
The dewberry, which covers the
fields after the grain is removed, may
he planted so as to trail to a stake.
If so treated it makes a pretty orr a.
ment as well as yielding an abunI
dance of fruit
Fall pigs must be pushed rapidly,
so as to have them we'll grown before
cold weather overtakes them. The
very young pig, if exposed to severe
| cold, will soon become stunted and
grow slowly.
DO not be afraid to use the pruning
| shears on young trees. 1t is much
better to cut back severely than moi
To cut at all. The future shape OF
the tree largely depends on the prun.
ing given it when it is young.
RABBIT Salad.-Cut the rabbit int
fillets, remove the bones, rub the sal
ad bowl with an onion or garlic, and
lay in the meat; pour over a pu @
from half tin of tomatoes, rubbed
through a sieve, or use tomatoe Sauce
