THE New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat may as well watch out for a
libel suit. It says: "AIrs. Biddulph
Martin, the notorious Victoria Wood
hull of former years, and her none
the less notorious sister, Tennie
Clatiin, now Lady Cook, who cap
tured rich husbands in London in
spite of their shady regulations at
home, it is said have had the auda-
city to offer to take charge of a
select ~ number of Ameri-
can girls and introduce them
into high society in England, for a
small consideration. The only re-
quirement is that the young ladies'
shall be good looking. We should
be sorry for any American girl
whose parents allowed her to be
chaperoned by such characters as
these malodorous Clafin women"

FOLLOWING is the personnel of some
of the high muck-a -mucks who at,
tended the Dallas caucus: Bryan 7.
Barry, mortgage loan agent and rail
road lawyer; Hon. o. 7. Holt, rail.

The Clarkites characterize the de,
mand of the people for railroad
commission as an assault on capital.
And yet lands are booming and
reaching out for the top notch in
value all over the state, the people
OF Austin are engaged in damming
the Colorado, railroads are being
projected, constructed and extended
in various directions, the state is
threatened with half dozen deep
water harbors all at once and there
is such hubbub and roar of excite
ment in planning money-making
schemes and investments as was
never known in Texas before.

WHILE Harrison was passing
through Pittsburg, Pa, the other
day en- route from the Garfield me-
mortal celebration he was invited to
stop off and take a peep at the
Scotch-Irish convention OF America
then assembled, but declined rather
bIuntly and did not deign to make
any excuse for not accepting. This
little incident led the republican
mayor to denounce him as an ass,

The Grave Gets Tired Yawning.

Seemingly, for certain wretched in- valids who toddls feebly along, though always looking as if they were going to die, but emitting to do it.. They dry up, wither, dwindle away finally, but in the meantime never having robust heslth, know nothing of the physical enjoyment, the zest of that existence to which they cling with such remarkable tenaoity. They are always to be found irving to mend by tinkering at themselves with some trashy remedy, tonic or ''pick me up" to give 8 fillip to digestion, or "help the liver" If such misguided folks would resort and adhere to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,it would bs well with them. This superb invigsfant supplies the stamina that the; feeble require, by permanently reinforcing digestion and assimilation. It overcomes nervous. ness, insomnia, malaria, kidney com plaints, biliousness, constipation, rheumatism and neuralgia

"Oh, he's only young kid, papa"
"a young kid! About how old is
young kid now%"
about six or seven"
"what is boy after he is done being
young kid?''
"Oh, then he gets to be kid
"What after that?
"Well, he's kid until he gets to be
about thirteen, and then he's young
feller,' ii he's pretty big"
None but good-sized boys can be
young fellers,' eh9'
"No, sir. Then they stay being young
fellers until they're about nineteen, and
then they're men"
"Indeed! but how do you class them
at the other end OF the line? Are thcy
always young kids after they arc
babies?"
"Oh, no, sir. First they're cubs.
They don't get to bo young kids until
they got out of dresses"
"But when" the father asked, grow
ing more aud more curious, when is O
boy supposed TO be lad?'
ave don't have any lads, nowadays,
sir. We read about 'em In books. but
wo don't have any. I've always wonder
