Grammar in Prison.

A writer in The Boston Transcript
describes the school in the state re-
forma tory at Concord, Mass. The
greater part of the men gladly avail
themselves OF its privileges. though
others make all kinds ofeXcuses, and
one boy bruised his right forefnger
regularly for two weeks in order to
be exempt from writing.
Ofcourse the school is not without
its ounces. One boy could never re,
member the word conjunction.
The teacher labored in vain till one
day lie had an inspiration. The close
proximity OF the institution to Con-
cord junction gave him an idea.
"Now, Tom," he said, you can re.
member conjunction by thinking O

Toms face beamed. At last the
bothprsome word was conquered; he
should never forget it.
Weeks went by, and the incident
passed out ofmind. The old difficulty
was no longer heard Of One night
visitors entered the room, and the
teacher called up Tom to analyze E
sentence. All went we'll till he came
to the word ''and." Then he stopped

PECULIAR INFATUATIoN.

Different Methods of following the
Injunction "Love One Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each
other?
Women do. Not long ago a young
woman in New Jersey was married
to youthful laborer on her fathers
farm. Sometime afterward it was
discovered that the husband was a
female; the young wife refused how
ever, though earnestly entreated to
by her friends, to give up her chosen
consort. The strangest part of the
discovery was the fact that the
bride knew her husband was q wom-
an before she washed to the altar.
If men do not exhibit this strange
iufa tuation for one of their own sex,
they at least oftentimes give evil
dence of the fact that they love one
another. There are many instances
on record where one man has given
his lifefor another. There are many
more instances where men have
given life to another.
ltisa proud possesssion-thek nowl-
edge that one has saved a precious
human life. Meriden, Conn, is the
home of such a happy man. John
H. Preston, of that city, July 18th,
1890, writes: Give years ago was
taken very sick, had several of the
best doctors, and one and all call
ed it O complication of diseases.
l was sick four years, taking pre-
scriptions prescribed by these same
doctors, and | truthtully state |

At this time, commenced to have
the most terrible pains in my back.
One day an old friend OF mine, Mr. r.
7. Cook of the firm of Curtis & Cook,
advised me to try Warmers Safe

same way and it had effected cure
for him. | bought six bottles, took

Friendship expresses itself in very
peculiar ways sometimes; but the
true friend is the friend in need.

Women on the Witness Stand.

A woman in the witness chair in a
court ofjustice is a source of perplex-
ity to good lawyer. To the indif-
ferent practitioner it makes little
difference whether the witness is a
man or woman. With equal perver-
.sity he pitches into everybody who
appears against him, and often sue
in prejudicing his clients cause.
A shrewd attorney handles proof in
petticoats very gingerly. When a
pretty woman's name is called in
court she rustles to the stand, looks
modest and out OF place and kisses
the Bible-the same holy book whose
leathern covers are incrusted with
grease-with-an oh-have-I-got- to ex-
preston, and then waits exppctantly
for the trouble to begin.
If she is trihing with the truth,
and the lawyer knows it, he cannot
browbeat her as he would IL man, but
he must smile, behave courteously
and dismiss her with a bow; other
wise the jury will fight against him
i'll their elaboration room. If she is
homely and he cross-examines her
too much and too truculently, she
will brace herself and tell him more
in a minute than he wants to know
in d lifetime.
The prettiest way for a lawyer to
hand over a female witness to the
body polite is by some such express
sion as THAT is all, my dear Miss, !"
if she is over forty, or. Il have no
further questions, madam then,
with a sudden show o. recolecting
himself, PROFOUND a question big with
results, and dollars to cents she will
fall into the trap and hurt the side
of the cause she was called to aid.
An old practitioner says that his in
variable rule has been not to cross
examine woman to any extent

re Large Stock Industries Of the Present, with
Bright Prospect Ahead.
Charles A. Daley OF San Angelo,
iTex., having just arrived from the
Conoho country, gives very encourage
/ ing report from that portion of the state.
A GAZETTE man had many questions to
ask him concerning the present outlook
and future prospects of this section,
among which questions the following are
| perhaps the most interesting:
How much wool will your city ship this
year?
About 900 200 pounds.
Has the shipment of cattle and beef
| TO Eastern markets been large this sea-
| son?
Very large, indeed. There are con-
stantlY trainloads after train
loads being shipped. This large
shipment of wool cattle and sheep makes
San Angelo one of the most important
shipping points in Texas.
Is your section confining itself solely to
the stock business?
BY no means. Tom Green and the
surrounding counties are rapidly ad-
vancing to the front in agriculture. We
are successfully raising without irriga-
ton corn, oats, wheat, cotton, fruits in
great variety peaches and grapes being
great success, vegetables in the greatest
abundance, and a very large number of
forage plants. Rain for the last three
years has been in abundance, and the
result is, with our rich soil, that
the man with the hoe has come
to stay. It is wonderful how rapidly
our lands are being broken up for farm
ing.
What are your good farming lands
selling for?
From So to So per acre according to To-
cation. And I tell you there are
immense quantities of these rich
lands in the Concho country. / c8R
safely say within radius of fifteen mics
of San Angelo there is over 400 ZOO acHes
of rich farming land.
How do crops look now?
Fine, we have had good rains, ana
on my route here, by way of the Santa
Fe railroad, saw crops, corn for inzs
stance, at least waist high, that weEs,
much better between San Angelo sitds
Temple than between Temple and SFort
