Horticulture, and will mark a
memorable day we think in
Texas, horticulturally at least. 1t is
impossible to avoid the conclusion that
it is the wisest thing the Arbor Day
associations Of the State can do to at
once decide to spend the week of Feb
ruary II, ETC., in Austin in fellowship
with the horticulturists of the Union.
And in this connection we think it
most advisable that Mayor Mcdonald
and our county commissioners at once
take steps to form an Arbor Day asso-
citation for Austin and Travis county,
that it may take the initiative in Sc
curing the attendance at this meet
ing Of the rest of the Arbor Day asso-
Citations Of the State. The time is
very short and only the promptest
action can secure the end in view.

DREAMING ANo HOPE.

The rosy wings of fancy
Are folded now In rest,
And hope has hushed her dreaming
To sleep within my breast.
And cold and cruel reason
Has whispered unto me
If hope and fancy vanish
What life would surely be
II dreams be dead no matter,
II hope should linger still,
Sweet Iseace viii fan her pinions
And soften ev'ry III
But IL the hope should perish,
And slip from life away,
A cloudy day this life, then,
With morn and eve of gray.
With no bright sun at noontime
To pierce the heavy pail,
To brighten with its glowing
The shadows over all.
And life would be undoubted,
A living but to be.
Existence In all phases
A mere necessity
Then wake, my sleeping fancy.
And hope awake To smile.
And slumber not forever,
But soothe my life awhile.
Sweet fancy, plume your pinions
To soar the rosy sea.
Fly forth, o blessed hoping.
And bring my Joys to me.

THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

The following statement made In a
report in the United States Senate by
Senator II. L. Gibson gives an idea OF
the immense commercial Importance
Of the Mississippi river:
"Thero cleared from the city Of New
Orleans last year 1901 sea-going ves-
sells with a tonnage of l,163,S92 tons,
and entered 1929 vessels with ton
mage of l,175,s10. The value of the
tonnage on the Mississippi river, CON-
ing to and going from New Orleans
last year, amounted to 500, ,23i .699,
against $53,227,l30 for the year before.
The tonnage that passes through the
Sault Stc. Marie Canal is, in weight,
the greast at any one point in the
world, greater by many timos than
that which passes through the Suez
Canal. Its value amounts to $82, ,OOO,-
600, but It 10 III excess Of tho through
tonnage to New Orleans on the Mis-
sissippi River by only $ls,OO00OO not
counting the value of that which is
embraced by Memphis. vicksburg,
Helena, Natchez, Greenville, and hun
drcds of plantations which are little
villages In themselves. think the
total value of the tonnage on the
Lower Mississippi could be safely es-
timated at Sl00,000,000. II is hard to
realize the enormous amount of ex-
ports which find their transportation
through the Mississippi and its tribu-
taries, and which bring back gold or
its equivalent. Hence the farmers of
the South and West are demanding the
Improvement of this carrier Of q vast
commerce."

OutwIttIng the Teacher.

1t requires a pretty smart school
teacher nowadays to get any the best
of child. This was never moro fully
demonstrated than 1t was In one of
the Chicago schools. In some of the
schools the old fashioned and unnatu-
raj method of teaching free arm writ
ing Is employed, and the children are
obliged to twist their hands unnatu-
rally In order to obtain the free arm
movement. In order to insure this
position tho teacher places a small
shirt button on the back of each little
hand, as piano teachers sometimes
place pennies on the backs Of their
pupils hands.
This is done to insure tho Keeping
of the hand In the correct position,
for if tipped in the least the button
slides off and thus belrays the erring
scholar. This button arrangement is
quite tiresome to the children, aud
they complain of it at home. The
other afternoon bright little girl re-
turned from school and said to her
mother: "Mother, kept the button
on my hand nearly all day to-day"
The mother expressed some surprise
at such feat. "Yes,' said the little
one; T gummed 1t on with piece of
my gum."-Chieago Herald.

Especial 10 The Times -Democrat.l
Washington, August S.--President
Harrison is being subjected to tre-
mendous pressure to prevent his send
ing message to Congress In accord
ance with the general understanding
after the conference at Cape May.
Those who at first tried to make him
take sides against Mr. Blaine are now
doing all they can to induce him TO
remain SILENT The general under
standing is that he approves of the re-
ciprocity amendment sufficiently to in
dorse the plan.
They urge that any message on the
subject will in some way discredit the
Mckinley bill and will necessarily
commit him to Mr.. Baine's policy and
fix upon him responsibility for 1t
should It prove less advantageous than
II now looks. 1t is urged also that If
he sends the message The Blaine letters
and the message will be read by the
Democrats Oh the stump to the embar-
rassment of Republican campaigners
who support the Mckinley bill. No
effort win be spared by Mr.. Blalne's
adversaries to have undone oil that

JOHN BOYLE O'REILLI BEAD.
Sad End OF the Career OF The FOet,
Patriot and Editor.

Nantucket, Mass, Aug. 1l.-John
Boyle O'Reilly died very suddenly at
bis summer home at S O'Clock this
morning. The cause of his death is
supposed to have been accidental.
The particulars, as far as known by
the family, are as follows:
Mr.. O'Rellly has been suffering for
several days from insomnia. During
the past week he has slept but little.
Last night his wife was unwell and at
~ o'clock he called d. w. b. Litchfield
of this town to attend her. DIR. Litch-
field went to the house and prescribed
for her, leaving a bottle of medicine.
About 2 O'Clock Mr.. O'Reilly again
called the doctor and said that part of
the medicine left for Mrs. O'Reilly had
been spilled. The doctor then gave
him single dose to take to her. AS
he left the doctor, Mr.. O'Reilly said
that he felt extremely tired, and if
Mrs. O'Reilly went to sleep he would
take little medicine himself to see IL
he could not get little sleep. At 4
o'clock Mrs. O'Reilly found her hus-
band was missing. She went down
stairs and found him lying on the
floor in an unconscious condition.
The doctor was Immediately called.
Upon arriving he found the respira-
tion very weak, and MIR. O'Reilly ex-
plred shortly afierward. A bottle
was found containing the medicine
used BY Mrs. OReilly. from which she
bad taken but very little and which
was nearly empty. 1t is supposed that
Mr. OReilly took dose of ii by mis-
take. This would not have produced
death, and it is thought that he may
have also taken a dose OF chloral to
produce sleep, and thon he took an
overdose. Mrs. 0'Reilly and her four
daughters are nearly prostrated with
grief. The body was removed to
Charleston this morning. Mr.. OReil-
ly was 46 years old on the 2Sth of last
June.
