A NEWSPAPER JOKE.
| Yesterday reporter of a Dallas morn
| ing newspaper heard group of people
| talking about triplets, and be took notes
on the situation and got off the following
in his paper this morning:
Mrs. y. V. Harrison of 30 Highland
street was yesterday delivered of triplets,
| two boys and q girl, each weighing seven
and one-half pounds.
OF course this item was a little sensa-
tional, but it surprised no one so much as
it did the alleged mother, whose family
is just the same size now that it has been
for years. But this fact did not keep
about 300 ladies of Dallas from calling in
to see the alleged extraordinary crop of
progeny.

The friends Of Hon. w. c. Connor are
somewhat wrathy over a letter to
prominent citizen from Senator Coke.

mayor. They take the ground that the

which Senator Coke has nothing on earth
to do with, and that it is extremely I'M
graceful for him to take a hand in it.
The fact is, Connor's friends are indig-
nant at the action of the senator.
