She Wins Fine Christmas Dinner by Her
Pluck and Prowess.
ADEL, Ga, Dec 26-Miss Maggie
Respess, girl of Is, living four miles
from town on the edge of Ne-Man's-
Friend swamp, was honored on Christ
mas by a dinner given to her by the
young men of the town. 1t was given
because Of the girls pluck in killing
big bear, and prominent among the
courses was bear steak
Mr.. Resless is one of the most noted
hunters of this section, and is so ardent
In the chase that his daughter inherits
the enthusiasm. Last year she went
with him on trip for game through
the swamp and became expert in the
use OF both gun and knife. Monday the
father went 10 Savannah to dispose of
his game, leaving his daughter home to
look after four younger children, the
mother having died few months ago.
During the night the children cried for
water and Maggie went to the well to
draw it. The well was about one hun
dred yards from the house and the
night was bright and clear. While
drawing the water a sensation of dread
came upon her as her quick ear detect
ed the sound of heavy footsteps. She
knew what they meant Looking
ar ound, the young girl saw huge bear
IN the pathway and making for the
honse.
The door was open and the cries of
the children when they saw the bear
nerved her for the fight. Grasping her
fathers hunting knife, which she had
carried ont with her for protection, she
ran rapidly after the animal to catch
him before he could hurt any of the
children. Just as the bear reached the
door he heard the girls footsteps behind
him. He turned and, rising upon his
launches, let his big paws fall upon the
girls shoulders. Quick as fash she
buried tie knife in his breast. With a
shudder the bear fell backward. Miss
Maggie then tn ,ust the knife into his
hea t, killing him. She left him there
and went 10 bed. At daybreak she
arose and with the aid of the children
skinned and dressed the animal for
market Tie news of the encounter
spread rapidly and as a reward for her
bravery the dinner was suggested.

THERE is growing conviction in
the minds of the democracy that the
so-called "Force Bill" is dead. The
better class of democratic journals
concede that the changes already
made in that instrument, by the SEN
ate's committee, have very materially
altered its character; and, that the
discussions over its items in the sem
ate chamber will still more modify it.
There are some of the opposition party
journals too prejudiced, or not suffi-
GENTLY frank, 10 acknowledge this,
but many OF the metropolitan journals
do. This is but just. The Lodge bill
never has had any warm advocates
among the republican leaders, and
how 1t slipped through the lower
house of congress is one of those
things little difficult to Understand.
There is no question that the Lodge
bill does not represent the views of
the republican party, although the
conviction is universal that the feder-
al government has legal control of
federal elections, and that southern
republicans are defrauded out of
score of seats in congress to which a
full ballot and fair count would en-
title them. The Lodge bill does not
go, because it would stir up unequal
strife and subject the colored voter to
increased hardships.

TIE enthusiasm OF the convention
seems TO have exhausted the state
supply. There appears to be none
left for use during the campaign. The
curses are both loud and deep against
certain parts of the platform, and even
the nominations are not subjects of
unqualified approval. Not every one
has the happy faculty Of licking the
hand that smites that is possessed by
the Waco Day, which endorses the
platform, the candidates, the refusal
to put anti-prohibition and the COM
mission on the same platform, and all
the rest of it.

THE Houston Post is no more in
love with the commission plank of
the state platform now than it was
before the assembled wisdom of the
prohibition alliance democracy ut
tered it's shibboleth. The Post says:
"The convention has spoken and
the democracy of Texas now knows
exactly where it stands, or thinks it
does. 1t is now able to separate the
false from the true, heterodox from
orthodox. There is now no excuse
for straying from the true path; every
individual democrat will be expected
to fix his eye upon the ark of the
covenant, follow where it leads and
ask no questions. True, the path is
not as straight and plain as could be
wished. There are windings and
doublings that must try the patience
of those who would prefer to go
straight forward; there are stumbling
blocks for those who are so foolish
as to embark on a political journey
encountered with such embarrassing
baggage"
While the Post, and the News, and
other recognized democratic leaders,
are mooting the propriety Of steady
ing this ark of the democratic cove
nant, of which the Post speaks, they
are reminded of the fate that over
took Uzzah, when he put both his
hand to steady the lark of the cove
nant" at the threshing floor of Mach

THE Two Republics is doing good
work in endeavoring to maintain and
increase the spirit of cordiality be-
tween the countries along the Rio
Grande. In a recent issue that paper
says:
1--WE have frequently warned our
local contemporaries against the news
published by the majority of the pa
pers in the Spanish language printed
in Texas. Those papers are, as rule,
edited by Mexican malcontents who
are doing everything in their power
to injure the government of this
country by making it appear that it
does not afford protection TO Mexicans
residing in the United States. In
this task they do not hesitate to mis-
represent facts"
OF this state of affairs American
journalists should take notice, and
not be too hasty to accept IS gospel
every rumor to the discredit OF
Mexico.
