A Baby Drowned.

Little Herbert "a two year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. +. Myers, of Croft
ton, was drowned about $3.50 pm. Sat
urday in water box that had been
used last summer to keep the milk
cool. The water was about sixteen
inches deep. Efforts were made to
rssuscitate him but they all failed.
The bereaved parents have the sym
pathy Of the community.
Tom eurbridge compllmented.
During recent visit to Washing
ton, Mr.. T. b. Burbridge, Of Fort
Worth, Tex, was given a compliment
tary dinner by his Congressman. The
correspondent of the Fort Worth Ga
zefte makes this reference to the
event; "a complimentary dinner was
given at Chamberlin's tonight by
Congressman Grain and Col. Ochiltrce
in honor Of Messrs Peter Smith and
T. d. Burbridge, prior to their de
parture. Among the distinguished
guests were Senators Edmunds, Wal
colt and Allison, and Congressman
Perkins, of Kansas. Mr.. Burbridge,
who is atypical hustler, has captivated
many Of tho leaders of the House by
his frank, open and hearty manner,
and has done yeoman service for Fort
Worth's interests while here"
Burglars Enter Two Houses.
Mr.. John Young's residence on
West Seventh street was entered by a
burglar Saturday night and his
pocket book with its contents
stolen. Nothing else was molested.
Mr.. Young's clothes were found the
next morning on the back porch, his
watch still in the vest pocket. The
door on the back porch was found
open. Mr.. Young thinks the back
door was left unlocked through some
oversight and the thief had no difficult
ty in getting in. He secured S25.35
in cash.
A thief also entered Mr.. W. H
Fyke's residence the same night and
went through every room, evidently
hunting money. He found none and
left without molesting anything. Mr.
Fyke handles good deal of cash, but
has safe place to keep it and thieves
need not waste time looking for it.

man from the Rio Grandc shook out, rs

embroidered folds OF one of those uniuuc

Colonel Ochiltrcc from n Mexican lady
who had spent three years in bcautifying
the glowing cxpnnsc of finely woven wool

seven feet long, the delicate thrcnds of

The stuff itself, rs it leaves the Mexican
loom, is not as soft as silk nor rs light,
but it is n thing of beauty aud n delight
both to the sight and the touch. The
materials and the dyes are all native Mexi-
can products. Worn over her head, the
scnorita peeps through the folds of the

them enhancing her good looks, while
the senor, with his swarthy face and neck
half buried in the same folds, and wear

1t is safe to predict, says Detroit Free
Press, that more bio ID will be shed in
Africa within the next ten years than
anywhere else in the civilized world. AS
the natives begin to appreciate the scope
of the plans of England, Germany, Bel
gium and other powers, the hostility now
shown is certain to increase and the COL
lisions to grow more frequent. OF course
the blacks have 10 chance of ultimate
success, but their great numbers, their
inherited disregard for human life and
the remotcncss of the invaders-for such
they must be called-from supplies or
endorsements, will serve to make the
contest more nearly equal than at first
blush seems possible. This later carrying
of the war into Africa will have terri

SUNSHINE I'm THE HEART.

Let us carry our sunshine with us
wherever our footsteps tend.
Though dark be the clouds above us,
And gloomy the path before
Let the joys that we once have treasure,
A joy to the present lend.
And the hope of a gladder future
Console till our griefs are DER
What matter then il skies be dun.
If i'll our hearts still shines tho sun?
Let lis carry our sunsi,ine with us.
~ wounded heart it will cheer,
ihnt forgcts that the skies are glowing,
So long has their light been vciled;
And word, if in kindness spoken.
While smiles on the face ;;ppea-.
May strike the full chords of sympathy
When all other efforts l,ayo failed.
What matter then if skies be ,it;n.
II i'll our hearts still shines Tie sun?

A Man OF Mark.

Prince Mailctunka, of the Friendly
Islands, in the Pacific Ocean, is, by ali
accounts, the most elaborately decorated
potcntatc in the world. His body is
tattooed from top to toe, and bears over
$4,000 different signs and emblems on
its surface.
Although hitherto unknown to fame,
either us warrior or diplomat, tho
hereditary ruler of the Friendly group
must be admitted to be man of mark.
His only rival, as far as history records
it, is the Hon. Phineas r. Barnum's
once widely renowned star attraction,

Greek was only pirate, not a prince.

In the deliberations of the international
maritime conference at Washington one
resolution was insisted upon, the require
'ment, namely, that in fog, mist, or
falling snow, vessels shall go at moder.
ate rate OF speed. Positive legal require
,ments in this direction, according to the
New York C6seroer, are badly needed /;
for the recklessness of steam vessels at
such times is continually on the increase.
The argument of the ocean steamers that
-lthcre will always be possibility of COL
ision in fog, and that on the whole the
steamer running the fastest will have the
best chance OF escape, entirely ignores
the chances of the second vessel. If it
s fishing smack or coasting ship, such
MS arc most frequently met in the fog
banks, the probability that it will escape
entire destruction is very small, and di-
minishes in proportion to the speed of
the colliding vessel. Still another point
often overlooked is the fact that when q
small ship is wrecked by the larger ves-
sci, if the second ship IS sailing at full
speed, there is no chance that it can be
stopped in time to rescue the survivors.
A law restraining. the speed of vessels in
logs Is law in the interests Of humanity
