The Girl Who WOos.

/ may as we'll be frank at once and
say do not like the maid who does
the wOoing. She is usurping the
privilege of her knight, and if I were
he should turn and flee. But, -
says Ethilinda, "he needs encourage
mentn Perhaps he does. But not
too much of it. When you want to
give an invalid something to increase
his appetite you do not offer to eat for
him; instead you offer a dainty bit, a
little spicy, or little acid that
quickens the taste and makes a great
hunger come. Treat your sweetheart
in the same way. Let him be con-
scious that you are pleased with his
liking; but do not for a minute take
away his prerogative and do the Voc
ing. No man has true appreciation
for good things too easily obtained.
Man is yet little bit of a savage, and
the hunt is always delight
to him. Your eyes may reflect his
love, but they need not an
nounce yours first, thereby sending
out an invitation. My dear girl, ask
almost any man you know what his
favorite flower is, and after he has
thought, he will tell you either the
violet or the rose. One grows sur
rounded and protected by green
leaves, and to get it perfect-that is,
with stem-you have to reach down
and pluck it carefully, but in a deter
mined way. The other is
guarded by sharp:thorns, and. though
it stands up in most dignified way,
it resists, except by its encouraging
sweetness, the one brave enough to
take it from the parent tree. You
can learn good lesson in a flower
garden: you see the holly hook plant
and know that they are the forward
beauties of the world of flow
ers; you see the lilies with
their bowed heads, and are
convinced that beauty without faith
is of little worth; you are aware of a
dainty perfume, and know that the
little lady, whose qualities surpass
her charms-the mignonette-is near;
you can see the masculine girl in
"Johnny-jump-ups;" you can see the
positive one in the gaudy sunflower;
you can see the aggressive one in the
scarlet geranium, and you can think
of them all and conclude this, the
one worth having, sweet of perfume
and restful in color, are not the ones
that protrude themselves on your
vision, and say, as do some flowers
and some maidens, Take us."-Ruth
Ashmore, in Ladies' Home Journal

\ New Work for Women.

In Paris, that great city where all
ones needs and caprices are catered
to, there are professions for women
entirely unknown in this country
And one is the professional packer
When you think of going away, is
not one of your signs as to how you
shall get all your belongings in your
trunks? When you reach your des-
tination don't you find them creased,
unused, aud if possible, what tiny
woman near me calls "in smither-
eens?"
Well, the packer comes in, you tell
her what you want to take away, and
skillfully folded, bodices have sheets
of tissue paper between them,
and the = sleeves are stuffed
to shape with If; slippers have
their toes filled with raw cotton
so they do not reach their destination
flattened out; and hats and bOnnets
have tapes attached to them so that
they may be pinned to the box or tray
and will not move until you are ready
to lift them out. This is a work for
which busy or rich woman will pay
well, and q woman who becomes eX-
pert at it, can in the going-away time,
make that mysterious amount known
as "tidy little sum" very easily.
The packer comes to the house, takes
off her bodice and assumes a loose
jacket, and then she is ready for her
work. Who, among the many who
are asking for something for woman
to do, will start in this profession
1t is a work easily learned, and offers
a variety that must appeal to every
woman. Neither is it irksome: hence,
a profession which offers more than
the usual advantages for woman's
skill.-Ladies' Home Journal.

THE MAVERICKS TO DIsBAND
IUM OODE,
Secretary.

No Gain or Glory in a Texas Mill
tia Mans Life.
The Maverick rifles hold meeting
tonight for the purpose of considering
the feasibility of disbanding the COM
pany, for various reasons. Said Capt.
Hines: We have about come to the
conclusion that, under existing cir
cumstances, there is very little profit
or glory connected with the life of q
militia company in Texas. Our ex-
penses are between $45 and $50 per
month, and we see no possible
show of the state doing her duty by
us. Besides there are as many as
sixteen of our best men who will on
the first of September, leave San An
tonic to go to school, which will have
bad effect on our strength.
II do not think that the company
will isband as yet" continued the
captain, 1--WE will just discuss the
question, but if we, don't and man
gets into the adjutant-general's
Office whom we know has no
great interest in the state militia, we
Will return our state charter and our
equipment to the United States, and
continue on our own responsibility.
The national government gives about
Sl1, 900 per year to Texas as her pOr-
ton for her militia, and this made to
include everything, including guns.
These guns, issued to the companies,
are charged up, so as to take
up more than the appro-
priation. The captains are put
under bond for the value of
these guns which are rated at SOS
each, when we can buy dead loads of
them at S. each. If things don't inn
prove we will reorganize buy our
own equipments, have just as much
fun, get out Ofall these encampments;
not be liable to be called out to sup
press riot or do some fighting, and
be free from the dictation Of every
official who may have orders to issue.
Texas is niggardly beyond all reason.
Look at the magnificent treatment
of the national guards ofOhio. Illinois,
Kentucky and New York. The state
offers no encouragement to the militia
that have been such credit to her
and we see no prospects of any to
come.

Chicago Fair Site.

CHICAGo, August 1S.--Capt. Mar
shall, United States Army, in charge
of the river and harbor improvements
here, in an interview declared that
the outer harbor of Chicago, which it
is proposed should be filled up and
used for Worlds Fair site, has long
been worthless for navigation pur-
poses. Its only present use, he said,
is to protect the Illinois Central Rail
road Company's docks. The recent
construction of the new North Pier,
he added, had made the Chicago
river perfectly accessible to storm
beaten vessels, and he has already
in an official report to the Secretary
of War practically recommended that
the harbor be Abandoned by the
government.

UNDER THE WHEELS.
4 5. \. II. ROundhOuse Employee
Crushed to Death

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock
Joseph Bradley, an engine wiper at
the roundhouse of the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass Railway, was run
over and horribly mangled. by. the
yard engine. - - 10 49,
1t seems that Bradley, had just
quit work for the day and as the en-
CINE was going up to the depot he got
switch to allow the engine to get on
the main track and DIS the engine
backed towards him, no endeavored
to step onto the foot board, but mis-
sing his footing, slipped and fell I'M
der the tender wheels, the engine
passing completely over him, cutting
off both legs close up to the trunk,
and the left hand. There were no
witnesses of the accident, but the
men of the engine happening to look
behind, saw him laying on the
track, and ran to his assistance.
The legs were completely severed
with the exception of small strip of
flesh, and the blood was pouring
forth. He was picked up and con-
veyed to the Santa Rosa hospital,
where his injuries received attention,
but he died an hour and half later.
Bradley was about 80 years of age,
and was an employe of the round
house for about two months. He lived
on North Frio street, and leaves p
wife and two sons. Mrs. Bradley
is lying dangerously i'll with high
fever, and the shock of her husbands
death will have distressingly sad
effect on her.
The railroad will bear the expenses
of the dead mans funeral which oc-
ours today.

ImpOrtant Decision.

JACKSON, August 1S.-Judge Hall,
Of the United States court, decides in
the case of Ford & Levy VS.. the Delta
and Pine Land Company that the
lands in the delta derived through the
sales for levee taxes in 1868 and SUBJ
sequent years are valid and unim-
peachable titles, any errors insthe
manner of sale being covered by the
curative law in 1860, 1875 and 1888.
This settles the titles to more than a
million acres of land in the Yazoo
Delta, and the opinion follows the
latest decision of the Mississippi
Supreme Court on this subject.

drim, of Garrard g. Meldrim, counsel for
Mr.. Stern, that their client will not give
bond. It is understood that Mr.. Stern
claims that the tobacco in dispute was dis
posed of in the course Of trade before the
bail in trover suit was instituted,
The other suit was instituted yesterday by
Lester & Ravenel for T. G. Williamson &c
Co.. on a bill of exchange for $40, bearing
date of Sept. 81, 1889. and by MIR. Stern
accepted on Nov. q Of the same year.
