To be llred from meath my slSylight.
But the outing days continued as the summer

And hours filled with pleasure
On from dewy morn to twilight,
And full often somewhat later. winged then
flight hours do.
One morning IN September
She was standing on veranda
AS started for reflection in walk along the
shore.
She said, Before you go out
On your usual meander
Perhaps you'd like to know I'll be your summer
girl no more"

That the news far from pleasing,
For she came little hearer-near enough for me
TO see
That her blue eyes were a,twinke
With the ecstasy OF teasing,
And she whispered, why not ask me, too, your
winter girl to bes"
The outcome? surrendered.
Church and parson did their duty;
And when sue pinned in my cravat creamy

She said Its not an emblem
OF your own transcendent beauty.
But just small reminder that I'm your all season

The Moons Queer Freak.
readiness


Mariners are noted for their supersti-
tons and the queer tales they tell of
phantoms of the sea, the land and the
sky. Marblehead, Mass, according to
the records of that ancient village, has
been a spot rich in the superstitions of
its fisher inhabitants. Among other
remarkable stories they tell of fisher
man who once went out at night to look
over his right shoulder at the new moon
for luck, when instead he saw a dark,
angry looking cloud that soon changed
to the perfect form of soldier standing
with legs wide apart and his pike rest
ing on his breast. The knapsaek and
gun strapped to the soldiers back were
plainly to be seen, as were the pike and
the general outlines of the figure.
Presently the figure seemed to grow
in size, and to have hat or cap in its
right hand. This was more than the
old mariner could stand. He called his
wife and children to view the appari-
ton. All now began to fade except
the object in the figures hand, which
soon assumed monstrous proportions,
presenting the spectacle of full rugged
ship, the figure of the soldier having
faded entirely from sight in the mean
time. For fully an hour the white
sails of the phantom vessel were visi.
BILE, clearly outlined in strange contrast
to the black hull Of the vessel itself.
''rhis queer sight," says the old &C
count, twas viewed by divers others Of

Telegraph omces and Messages.

There are two telegraph offices to
every 10000 of the population in Great
Britain; in Tasmania there are eleven
telegraph offices to each 10000 of the
population. In Great Britain there are
25l miles of wire to every 1000 square
miles of area; in Denmark there are
662 miles of wire to each 1000 square
miles of area. In Great Britain there
are lab messages per head per year OF

warning voice against the cultivation
OF too many acres. We are al
Primers. 1t is doubtful if there is one
farmer in the country who dees not
attempt too many acres of hoed crops
If labor was procurable when needed
many could manage double Their
acreage, but with the uncertainty and
inferior character of labor now al
hand, our cotton crop should he
raise d on half the number of acres, il
possible; and if not, then a smaller
crop. With half the acres the crop
would get double the attention it now
receives and the yield would be vastly
increased, and that without the worry
and anxiety now attending it.
Crops are generally planned on a
basis of favorable season and hired
help when wanted.
The former we sometimes have, the
latter rarely, and when a prolonged
wet SMELL comes in May or June, as
come it does frequently, the sanguine
farmer is left in the grass and the
bales do not matsrlailze.
When cotton has to be raised ex
clusiyelv on hired, labor, of precari-
ous and high priced order, there is lit
tie profit left for the land owner, and
often loss.
have heard of farmers who hired
all their labor and raised cotton at a
cost of 5 cents pound, but have
never been able TO find out how twas
done, as they did not make any more
bales to the acre than myself, and
used more expensive methods. Prob
ably there was some defect In their
system of bookkeeping and some es-
sential item of cost had been omitted
With the certainty Of constantly
increasing area Of cotton being guilt
waited, and decrease in price, the
only chance for the cotton raiser
to work at profit, is to reduce the
cost of production by the use of econo'
mical methods of cultivation and to
reduce his acres so as to be independ-
ent of costly and often worthless labor
MONEY AT 2 PER CENT.
If Senator Stanford's scheme OIL
loaning government money at 2 pei
cent with mortgage security on land
should ever become a law, the land
owner would be man to be courted
He could borrow money from the gov
eminent at 2 per cent, and then turn
around and loan it to merchants, bank
ers and manufacturers at 6 per cent
or more. Or the great trust and mort.
gage companies could foreclose on the
farmers who are now in their debt and
unable to meet their obligations, and
then turn about and obtain money
from the government which they
would probably never obtain from the
farmers who now occupy the land
The farmers would then be without
land and without money. 1t may be
urged that the illegal" rate of interest
would he sure to fall to the amount
charged by the government.
We doubt it. Certainly it would
not with our present methods of DOING
business.

Timely Advice.

City Physician Graves in his report
to the city council suggested that q
location for pest house or camp be
selected, so that if case of smallpox
should stray into the city it could be
promptly isolated. The suggestion
was timely. What will the city
authorities do about 1T?

LEGISLATION.
SOME OF THE POINTS OVER WHICH
THE PATRIOTIC sOLONs WILL
wREsTLE.
The Railroad Commission and Other New
Laws to Be Enacted and Pockets
Full of New Bills to Bob
Up serenely.

Next Tuesday the patriotic legis-
lators will again assemble to consider
grave matters affecting the interests
of the people.
From all accounts the legislature
will be an able body of clear-headed,
conscientious men whose only object
is to do the greatest good possible,
regardless of sectional interests and
sectional demands.

from those who demand" the meas
ure, the object is neither patriotic
nor generous toward the female
sex. The "demanding" marplots
simply want female clerks, so they
can demand" reduction in salaries
that are already too low. They want
the women of Texas to grind their
lives out upon insufficient salaries.
This is the gist of the whole matter.
Under the law now heads of depart
ments can employ female clerks, and
in nearly all the departments they are
employed.
The demanding" marplot as a rule
hasn't the ability to earn over $50 or
$40 month at anything he engages
in, and he vainly imagines compen-
sation for services by all Others must
be regulated by that which he is cap
BILE of earning.
