always been accused of trading on her
physical beauty Surely no one would
impute this motive to her after seeing

THE SIGN BHSLNESG-

A movement to do away with the signs posted
up property for sale has got to the point
where real estate agents have signed an agree
ment. The document is as follows
DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 4, 1ss9.-We, the under
signed real estate agents OF the city of Dallas,
do hereby mutually agree with each other that we
win not post any more signs 'for sale'' on any
property in the cities of Dallas and East Dallas,
or on any suburban property, and that we will,
within fifteen days from date, remove all our
several signs ''for sale'' now posted on any
property in said cities; and should fail to re
move said signs within said time, We hereby au-
thorize -- to remove the same at our cost.

Times and towns go by turns, and it is
Fort Worth IS turn now. This city Is not
compelled to take in its sign through fear
that strangers will consider the whole
town for sale, for just as soon as piece
of property is known to be for sale it is
snapped up. There are scores of men
from distance here now who are walk
ing and riding over the city looking after
signs ''for sale. -
Dallas should brace up and raise that
$50 900 required to continue the fair. and
not give way to dependency because it
could not kill off Fort Worth
by quarantine, tales of disaster in
artesian water, efforts to divert
the Fort Worth and albuquerque railroad,
and such like methods of rivalry. Schem-
ing and sharp practice can have at best
but temporary success, and, because
there is room for both Dallas and Fort
Worth, and because there would be hurt
to all the state in the collapse of any
town or section, THE GAZETTE, in all
kindness, advises Dallas to give up trying
for fictitious progress by shrewd manipu-
lations, to raise the money for the fair
and, by legitimate effort and fair en-
deavor, to achieve that advancement
within its reach.

The Ex.Guerrilla Called.
Cleveland ohio Plain Dealer.

CIeVelauu NOniOJ FlaIH Dealer.
An Indianapolis dispatch in the Leader
yesterday said that among the visitors to
Gen. Harrison on Tuesday was ''Col .
Morby - The readers of the dispatch
would not be likely to suspect that the
'ECol. Morby, who was said to be a
relative of Gen. Harrison, was no other
than the notorious Col. John 5. Mosby of
guerrilla fame during the war. 1t was
the fashion on the part of the Leader and
other Republican papers at that time to
refer to Mosby as n 'cutthroat, -
"bushwhacker' and other things of the
kind, but he early became a good
Republican and was rewarded with
the consulship at Hong Kong. Col
Mosby is a relative and friend of Gen.
Harrison and it was at the general s
special request that the visit was made.
The Southern situation was talked over
so Mosby says, and the ex-guerrilla took
occasion to put in a word or two against
Malone. 1t is the opinion at Indianapo-
lis that Mosby would have no objection to
return to Hong Kong as consul and it is
not unlikely that his desires in that re-
spect will be gratifed. The Mosbys and
the Harrisons think a good deal of each
other, the colonel h2tfng a brother and
sister named for the Harrisons.

GOLD VS.. LOVE.
bake out the billowy silk

Shake out the bilIowy silk,
Unfold the dainty lace,
Place buds upon the gold of her hair,
Just over her fower-like face.
Fasten those gems on her arms,
And these in her shell-like ears,
But heed not the mist o er her eyes,
Which is gemming their blue with tears.
Trail the gauzy bridal veil
TIL it COW rs her tear-wet eyes,
But forget her proud mouth 5 culver
And her passion Of stif1ed signs.
For out of the starlit past,
Into the cleaning OF now,
From the dull rust of by-gone years,
Comes q face-and a broken. VOW.
But love and handsome face
Are Just a dream of the past.
While money and title and land
Are the things that count-and that last.
Then bring forth the gray-haired groom,
So wrinkled and so old,
And forget that the fearful bride
Has hartered herself for gold.
Yes, bring forth the gray-haired groom,
And forget the sweet. dead past,
For money and title and land
Are the things that give one cast.

The Old Place for Gum.

A Young woman in Rushville, III. 4,
laid her lump of chewing gum on her
pillow the other night and went to sleep.
When she awoke next morning the gum
was hard and fast in one of her ears, and
she suffered grievously for several days
before the obstruction was removed {.
This shows the danger of departing from
g-established custom. The inside of
the bureau drawer or the back of the
bedstead, as all thoughtful young women
know, is a much safer place of deposit
for wads of gum
