 "We all got up and gethered round him and begged him to light, while we wuz a-pullin' him off the machine and touselin' his store clothes. He took 1t all mighty good natured; stood a-grin- nin' and a smokin' one of his everlastin' cigarettes, while we boys all come round and let on to criticise his nickel pony. One of us lowed it wuz too high in the wethers; and another said 1t didn't have flesh enough on it to show off It's points fair. Jim Guthrie, he purtended to look at its teeth, and said it wuzn't nothin' but Ally anyhow, and no knowin' what 1t would make in time with good handlin'. Some other Alick asked what breed it wuz, and we let on to find swaller forks, under-bits, and all kinds of ear marks and jaw brands and hip brands on 1t.

''I'M 'FRAID IT'S TOO TAME FOR ME-" and where we didn't see strange face once in six months, and I staid there four years, too.
 ''It was down t'other side of the Devil river region, between the Rio Pecos and the Rio Grande, wuz broncho bustin' for the Hal Circle c. Itwuz the lonesom- est, fur-awayest place ever staid. Our outfit had been there three straight years, and If we ever knowed anything we'd forgot 1t. We had wore out every deck of cards in the crowd but one, and it was two queens and deuce short; and of rainy evenin's we used to have e-for-all fight to see who should have that to play with; but as the fellers that got licked always unused themselves putin bullet holes through the cards If a man dared to hold up his hand, there wuzzent no good fun in card playin'. We had raced all the ponies so much that we knew as well when we set up race which pony'd win as we did when it wuz over. There wuzzent a town in three hundred miles fit to get drunk in; so when the little event happened that I'm agoin' to tell you of we nachelly thought Proverdunce had saw what

Jim Guthrie was his name, big two-hsted feller, always a chaff1n' and a gassin' and a runnin' rigs on folks.
 "Bar X Is Boston outfit, and they had young Boston dude to come out there that laid over anything ever saw in southwest Texas. He did sure wear the ornriest clothes, to be good store clo'es, that I ever saw. His pants just come to his knees, like little boys, and he had sorter custard pie colored bro gans, with nutmeg grater soles to 'em. His cap beat creation. l reckon they lknowed he didn't have sense enough to tell which wus front and which wuz back, so they'd put little gable on both ends so's to hit him either way he took it.
 "One of his eyes wuz spilled, so he lsep' glass lid on it; but the lid didn't fs very good, and he had to sorter grin 'casionally to keep 1t on; and the sight of him at them times-if you'll excuse my say4n' so-wua enough to make any map cuSs-

But you don't know my case" Good friend, in Rinety-nine out of hundred cases, the causes are the same-impure blood-and that's why Golden Medical Discovery" cures ninety mine out of every hundred. You may be the ex- ception. And you may not. But would you rather be the exception, or would you rather be we'll? If you're the exception it costs you nothing, you get your money back-but suppose it cures you?

WASHINGTON, Sep. 4.-John c. May nard, the postoff1oe inspector in charge of the New Orleans district, has returned to Washington from New Orleans, where he has completed the work in some 25 cases against the president of the Louisi ana Lottery Company for violation of the postal lottery law. Mr. Maynard says the chain of evidence in these cases is complete. He thinks the power of the company is broken and says the business is reduced to such a point, that although it advertises capital prize of $300, 900, yet it does not now sell more than half of any ticket, so 1t is impossible for the capital prize to be drawn.

 THE Women's Anti-lottery league of Louisiana is out in an address to the women of all the states, asking for theiI sympathy and encouragement in the struggle in which the league Is engaged. The address is what might be termed a soul-stirring document, and it calls upon the women of the land to rise in their might, in order to hurl a ve- hement negative at proposition which would perpetuate an institution that has brou ,ht disgrace upon the name oI Louisiana as the licensed gambling place of America. The language of this document IS open to criticism, as being somewhat more paroxysmal than neeu be: but it leaves no doubt that the women of Louisiana are very much ill earnest in the war on the lottery busi- ness, and that means a great deal of trouble for its supporters.

THE TAX ON MORTGAGES.

Experience has shown that the
method OF taxing mortgages as pro-
vided for in the new constitution has
signally failed to compel the mortgages
to bear the tax. The trainers OF the
new constitution thought that they had
discovered method which would prac-
tically throw the burden of that portion
OF the taxation which the mortgages
covered over upon the money lenders.
Although mortgages for the purpose of
taxation are made an interest in the
property affected, yet the mortgage is
careful to place the rate of interest high
enough to more than cover the tax.
This is the case in nine cases out OF ten.
The borrower is always at the mercy OF
the lender, and the latter never fails to
secure himself against taxation upon
the evidence of the money he loans. In
many cases he leaves SO large margin
that the mortgagor pays great deal
more in the rate OF interest exacted than
the tax would come to ii he paid it
himself. Experience, therefore, has
shown that, as means of making the
money lender pay taxes, this pro-
vision of the constitution is
dismal failure. But the provision has
another and more serious defect.
1t repels from our state money seeking
investment from abroad. Foreign capi-
talists will not risk their money in loans
