There was 4 powder puff, of course, and
several handkerchiefs, perfumery, bon
bons, gloves, a good many letters adj
dressed in various masculine hands, a
photograph of a noted actor, pair of
opera glasses, n restaurant bill of fare
with two expensive Burgundies under
scored, faded bunch of violets a broken
bracelet, a tiny false curl, two eloquent
white buttons, and, let it be lightly men
tiOhed, broken package of Cigar cites.
This list ought to be sufficient to keep
young woman comfortable during an af-
ternoon drive, but as the inquisitive
young man CROPPED under the seat he
found that something more was required.
The garment that he drew forth must not
be spoken of, but it was calculated to
perform good service in cold weather.
With all her luxurious tastes, as evinced
by the paraphernalia she carried, this
young lady was evidently prudent and
favored a wooden comforter. After the
ride she enquired breathlessly of the
young man if he had violated her kind
ness by looking under the seat o. her
carriage. He looked her in the eyes and
declared that he had not, whereupon the
maiden breathed easier.

TWO IDEAS.
Brought About by Gen. Cameron's open Lat
ter" to John Howard Concerning AdVer-
Using Texas in the North and East.

CLAUDE, Tex, April 10, 1890.
notice in THE GAZETTE of Sunday an
open letter from Gen. r. a. Cameron to
John Howard of Wichita Falls, dated
April s, in which he advises John aDd
others who are working for the settle
ment of the ''great and only Paphan-
dle'' and Northwest Texas myself
included, to go North and East and there
advertise. While the generals sugges-
tions are good, and l for one would go
"into Missouri IN the region of Soda
liza, as the general advises,
or to any other portion of the
globe IN the interest of immigration,
there are two ideas which in
my judgment require our serious
consideration before adopting the gen
erals suggestion. The first one is:
For all the towns along the Fort Worth
and Denver railroad in Texas to organize
themselves into an association, rent q
large room somewhere in Fort Worth in
a good location, say opposite the Pick
wick hotel, there hold an cali the-Year-
round' miniature Spring Palace. Some
good man should be selected, John
Howard, 'tOf and for Texas, - Tor in
and if the other counties should be afraid
he might be impartial they could each
send a man to look after their interests,
but in my judgment, knowing John as 1
do, / do not believe but what
he would do the square thing
by each and all of them
were he selected by the association to
take charge. 1t is true he is working for
Wichita Falls at present, and right hard
he is working, but is he not paid for
working for that county? If he is hired
by another county or counties he will
work just as hard. Each county could
have her display of products and litera-
tuTe, and the prospectoT could take his
choice. The expense to each town or
county would be light, and in my judg-
ment this display of Northwest Texas
products would send many people up the
''Panhendle line'' who would otherwise
90 to West and Southwest Texas.
The second: Invite the Fort Worth and
Denver railroad to loan and fit up g car
for their road as the Rio Grande did for
their able and energetic immigration
agent, 7. A. Wilkinson. We can ar
range the products of Northwest Texas
in this and appoint one or more repre-
rentatives to accompany it on tour of
the county fairs North this fall. There
is the place to meet the farmer, who is
the 'tfellow we are after. - No one can
figure the number of people that Mr.. 3.
Wilkinson and his Spring Palace car has
been the means of bringing to Texas. "a
do not wish to dis=a
parage Gen. Cameron s plan, but
only submit these two ideas for the peo-
pie OF Northwest Texas to consider.
The two could be adopted after the
main Spring Palace closed; we could
hire room and arrange what we already
had there in the smaller one, adding to
it from time to time, and IN the fall,
when the county fairs OF the North and
East began to open we could at up our
car and "move on them

Alonzo B. Cornell Harassed by 1mpoTtu-
nate Creditors.
Curiously enough, notes signed or in
dorsed by Ex-Governor Alonzo B. Cor
nell have gone to protest, to the aston
ishmeDt of those holding such paper.
The story that Mr.. Cornell shows signs
of failing faculties is denied by his fam
lily.
Ex-Governor Cornell was born in
Ithaca, n. Y, January %, 1892. His
father, Era Cornell, was one of the or
gauizers of our telegraph system and
the founder of Cornell university. Leav-
ing school in 1S47 he engaged in the con-
struotion of the Erie railway telegraph
line, and upon its completion he became
an operator, and in 1S4S took charge of
the Cleveland office. In 1S62-63 he was
the owner of a line Of steamers on Ca
yuga lake, and soon afterwards became
one of the organizers of the First ma
tional bank of Ithaca, of which he was
cashier until 1869, when he removed to
New York. In 1868 he was the Repub-
lican candidate for lieutenant governor,
but his ticket was defeated In 1869
President Grant appointed him to the
surveyorship of the port of New York,
which position he held ISL 1872, when he
resigned on being elected a member of
the assembly. of WHICH he became
speaker in 1873. In 1876 ne became
vice-president of the Western Union tel
egraph company. In the following year
he was appointed naval officer by Presi-
dent Grant, which Office he held until
removed by Hayes. In 1879 he was
elected governor of New York state, de-
feating Lucius Robinson. Since 1883
Mr.. Cornell has devoted his attention TO
private business.

Six girls devised a scheme that was
both unique and catching They in
vited six gentlemen, whose good opinion
they valued, to a dinner, every course
of which they promised should be pre-
pared, aye cooked, by their own hands.
The invitations were accepted, of course,
but one condition was imposed, namely,
that the cooks should receive the guests
/ ncooks' attire, and that proof positive
should be given that they had actually
cooked the dinuer. This may have sug-
gested to the culinary creatures some
dainty notions regarding the dress OF
cook, for even in the cooking class which
the sly things had been attending I'M
known to their admirers, nothing had
ever been seen Just like the suits they
adopted for this occasion. At the ap-
pointed nour the guests were welcomed
by six usually rosy maidens in gowns
that reached modest distance below
the knee but which revealed a tantaliZ-
ing bit of stocking and ooquettishly slip
pered feet. Bodices were cut N-shape
front and back, with arms left bare to
the shoulders and free of ornaments as
were the hands A bit OF rich lace and
a knot of ribbon made believe there was
a cap, and more lace and ribbon by
courtesy an apron. A corsage bouquet
would have looked out of place with the
chatelaine that bore tiny nutmeg graf
ers, egg heaters, rolling pins and sauce
pans, if anything so sweet could have
rocked out of place in that particular vi
cinity. In fact it was the most bewil-
dering group of cooks that mans eyes
ever were blest with, and made even
these guests forget the expected dinner.
But they were not long permitted to en-
Joy the sweet oblivion. They were ush-
cred to a table where the decorations
were not more artistic and beautiful
than the YiaEds were appetiZing and
delicious. Everything in both depart
ments, they were told had been done
by these girlish hands, and as course af-
ter course was served the gallantry and
credulity of the guests were laid under
severe bondage. No flaw could be found
anywhere. Various little burns, cuts
and bruises wers displayed on delicate
hands IN evidence of the work they had
performed, and other testimony was
brought forward which convinced the
gentlemen that the promises Of their
hostesses had been fully redeemed.
What follows? Why the way to
man s heart is through his stomach, - is
it not? Six engagements are likely to
be announced, just as the designing dears
hoped and planned for. l told you in
the first place that it was catchy |
scheme.

among the oaressing pillows that the |

young gentleman of an explorative turn |

he relates is startling one. Being en- |
tirely alone he examined all the beautiful |
fittings of the carriage and even inEestl- |
gated the racks and orifces. where any |
strange utensil or ornament might linger. |

heart beat with even greater pride than
it had felt before.

-
A gift received by a very lovely and
emineutIy vivacious girl living almost
on the crown of Murray Hill is not at all
to her liking Her Christian name is
Laura, and she promised to marry
bright. lively young man only one month
ago. Her birthday and all other festal
occasions during the past year have been
commemorated by pretty and often val
liable trinkets from the happy man who
homes to wed her, and hearing her say
that she needed a watch the guardian of
her destinies sent one to her with all pos
sible haste. It was little love OF q
watch, and. on the front case the mono
grams of both lovers were affectionately
iutertwined in diamonds. Laura 5 heart
bounded with true feminine gladness
when the beautiful thing lay before her,
and like all great examples of her sex
proceeded at once to give it a minute eX-
animation. Desiring to see the wheels
20 round she opened the inside case. At
that instant a shadow gradually deep
ened over her face and tears, came into
her pretty blue eyes. She then put the
watch down, flung herself on a sofa and
had a good cry. The cause Of this sud-
den grief were some words engraved on
the inner Slde OF the inner III VI tHo
watch. The inscription MAS surely most
suggestive: ''From Jack to Alice, June
4, 1881. - Jack tells the same story to
his friends that he tells to Laura; and
she, like all dutiful girls, believes her
lover, while his friends smile eloquently
at his excuses. Jack is fortunate enough
to have a sister Alice, but as she was
born only two months before the date
inscribed on the watch, there is some
doubt OF the nine year old child wishing
to present the sweetheart Of her big
brother with a watch that he himself
gave to her at her birth. But the little
girl bears Jack out in his explanation
and Laura kisses them both for their
kindness. Jack, by the way, presented
another watch TO his accommodating sister
last week.
