This story Of Pauline Collier, a Pan Han
die county, Texas girl, is a good one,
whether literally true or not Pauline,
who has not yet turned her 9TH year lives
ten miles from Childress where is located
the nearest district school Therefore she
rides back and forth each school day on her
Texas pony. She was riding along at a
good rattling pace one morning last week
probably engrossed in propositions that
govern the objective case, when she saw,
waiting TO spring upon her pony and her
self, long, beautifully shaped cstamount
crouched slyly in the prairie grass few
yards ahead What does Pauline do What
would any miss of sixteen do under similar
circumstances 1t would largely depend
upon how she had spent her past life.
Pauline at once showed her training. Seiz-
ing a lariat from her saddle she coolly sent
it whizzing through the air. Swift and
sure went the moose and encircled the ami
mails neck Then the pony sprang INTO the
air and was away at a furious gallop. 1t
was not long before the catamount was
dragged tn death over the prairie floor
Seeing that the brute was no more Pauline
loosened the lariat from the pommel Of her
saddle and hastened on 10 school II is
said that several cowboys stripped off the
panther's hide and will have it made into a
robe for the girl If Pauline did lasso the
hungry catamount, it must be admitted
that Pan Handle county is not without its
advantages in the bringing up of girls.

Wntching The Clock.

There is deal of common sense in this
story lately told of Edison, whether he said
it or not A gentleman went to the great
electrician with his young son, who was
about to begin work.a an office boy in
well-known business house. The father
asked Edison for a motto which the boy
might take to heart in his struggle for pro
motion and success. After a moments
pause Edison said, laconically, Never look
at the clock - Edison meant, we take it,
that the man who is constantly afraid he is
going to work overtime or overhours doesn't
stand chance of competing with the man
who clears up his desk, no matter how long
it takes. The carpenter who drops his ham

The Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure, made
from the most wholesome materials and produces finer
favored sweeter lighter, more palatabe, wholesome

Being of greater strength than any other baking

In four-line squib, in references
to our deductions as to the s'thus-
ness" of the Subsidized press" the
Alexandria Times says: "If you
accept his premises you are driven
to his conclusions with the force of
catapult." This ironical innuen-
do is shorn of all of its force by
the simple fact that our confrere
neither attempts to contradict our
premises nor disprove the forcible
conclusion adduced. The matter
was first agitated by the Times, and
it ought in all fairness publish the
answer to its own inquiry.

A Washington special says:
Roger @. Mills returned to the
Capital yesterday somewhat worn
out by his exertions during the
campaign.
evil the Democrats in the next
Congress attempt to legislate in
accordance with the principles Of
the Farmers Alliance" queried a
reporter.
THE Democratic House will
meet the demand for money by
passing silver free coinage bill,
which the Senate may or not agree
to, and which if it ever reaches
the White House will probably be
vetoed by President Harrison.
That is all the Legislation we shall
attempt in that line. 1t is idle to
talk of the sub-treasury bill The
Democratic party can never, as long
as it exists, which will be as long
as it is true to strict constructionist
ideas, indorse such an unconstitu-
tional scheme. Mr.. Tilden, in his
letter to the Iroquois Club, stated
the principles of the Democratic
party in a sentence. "The general
government should do nothing for
the State which the State can do
for itself, and no government should
do anything for the individual
which he can do for himself" We
ought never to get away from that
doctrine. The Democratic party
believes that the citizen is able to
take care of. himself and his own
finances. We propose to let him
do it, and keep as far away from
paternalism as possible.
"Has the victory come to stay?".
Most undoubtedly. The people
have materially indorsed the posi-
ton of the Democratic party on
the tariff question. Many Repub-
licans were willing to have the
necessary protection afforded infant
industries, but they could not
understand the necessity for doubt
ing the protection of industries
which had been established years
ago. When the Democratic party
has control of tho House, it viii re-
duce the teriff ON the necessaries of
life. OF course, the bill will not
pass a Republican Senate. but we
VIII redeem our promises and force
the issue on that line until We get
the Senate and President If the
Republican party persists in legis-
lating against common people and
in favor of the trusts and combina-
tions, the revolt will be still great
or next time"
Mr.. Mills predicts the nomina-
ton of Cleveland.

Anti-Lottery League. Shreveport, La.
Dear Sri regret that illness

But for that circumstance / would
be in attendance and speak the
sentiments / cherish in opposition
to the attempt that is being made
to fasten on the State for another
Term of years the disgrace of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company.
7 am in sympathy with the great
movement Of the people which
looks to preventing this. Nor is
this position new to me. / have
been steadfastly opposed to the
lottery from the time / first began
to take an interest in public affairs.
As representative delegate from
the parish of Caddo to the consti-
tutional convention of 1879, / was
one of the leaders in that body of
the movement to destroy the lottery.
/ considered it then an institution
in the highest degree hurtful to the
wellbeing of the State, and my
opinion in this has strengthened as
the years went by. The lottery
company should not be tolerated q
moment in Louisiana after its pres
ent charter expires. Louisiana
should range herself in line with
her sister States of the Union-all
of whom without exception refuse
legal recognition to lottery con-
Germs. The enlightened sentiment
of the people of the United States
is opposed to lotteries, and this
has found expression in the recent
enactment by Congress of a wise
law prohibiting the use of the mails
as vehicles for the transaction of
lottery business. Let the people of
Louisiana do their duty In this
regard; let there be no compromise
with an institution which, If re-
chartered, will do an hundred fold
more harm than can be compensa-
ted for by all the money which can
be paid let the great work of organ
ization to defeat this movement 60
