shcepskin rug laid over the worst spot
in the carpet, and the curtains were
hung so that most of the bad pieces
came under the folds; and tho whole
air of the place was so homclike and
coy that you quite forgot that tho fur
nishings were poor.
There was 4 whatnot IN ono corner
with the lower shelves filled with books
and the upper ones with knickknacks
and keepsakes.
There were some cane-scated chairs
and two rockers and an organ with an
open instruction book upon the rack

ing marked in lead pencil and with its
1, 9, 8, 4, and mysterious looking black
crosses where you ought 10 put your
thumbs
The organ had two stops, ''Trcmolo"
and "VoX." Miss Smith didn't know
what 'voX" really meant; whenever
she felt lonely and depressed she in
stinctivcly pulled out the tremolo.stop
and let the notes CULVER and culver as
they would; but when she was happy
she noticed that she pulled out the
other stop so she concluded that it
must mean glailncss or something like
that
Now Miss Smith was swcet-faccd
little old maid who had very little mll-
steal knowledge or Skill but she had
unlimited patience, and there was no
other music teacher in the village, SO
she had quite large class of pupils
young girls whose ambition it was to
play the organ in Sunday-school or to
entertain the sociables with selections
of 'instrumcntal"-and small bows and
girls who hated to practice and who
didn't like music q bit, but whose
mothers were ambitious for them in the
way of accomplishments.

BOTH political parties seem quite
inclined to let the Ohio programme
be carried out, and will accept the
outcome there as largely indicative of
what the verdict of the country will
be in 1892. On this matter the Salt
Lake Tribune says:
1--WE are glad that the men of Ohio
are going to make a practical test of
the Mckinley bill this year. They
have put in nomination the author of
the bill for their highest office.
There is going to be fair and free dis
cussiOn OF the subject before the true
men of Ohio. A Ii the scphistries of las t
year are gong to be wiped away
The truth is going to be made clear,
and by the result it will be possible
for the Democratic and Republican
Iarty chiefs to estimate about what
their chances will be in the campaign
of next year"

JOHN WANAMAKER takes the
stand and his testimony shows just
what his original statement did, that
Lucas, the old president of the bank,
used him and his name for what he
considered the interests of the bank,
and that Mr.. Wauamaker was in no
sense interested in the investments
or profits of the bank. His testimony
fatty contradicts Bardsley's and is
corrobOrated, so far as it can be, by
that of Comptroller Lacey. There is
nothing to implicate Mr.. Wanamaker
except che statement of men crimt-
nally guilty of wrecking the bank and
their evidence does not count. 1t is
of course TO be expected that the
democratic changes will be rung on
the evidence OF Bardsley, but the
sOberminded public will not give any
ear TO charges emanatirg from such
q source

The democrats claim Kentucky by
10000 majority over the third party
candidate. The mongrels claim that
$1,000 expended IN speakers for the
state would land them safe winner
If the third party will make it "no

1t is very doubtful, however. that the

THE Beeville Bee has always been
a good paper for the capital Of Bee
county to tie TO. 1t does not wear its
brains on the outside of its hat and is
by no means picayunish in its spirit
or conduct. While standing for all
wise and reasonable measures of i'm
prOvement it is not buldOzed into
advocacy of hairhrained enterprises,
nor does it leave without an honest
defence the old citizens who have
made the town of Beeville what it is
In its last issue the Bee says:
When some of the snipes of this
town talk of the older residents as
mOssbacks they should be reminded
that this county subscribed $50, 900 as
cash bonus to building the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass
railroad i've years ago. Then the
population of the county was LOO.
Three years ago the same peo-
pie put up $4,000 tor the Pacific rail-
road. Because the people of Bee
county do not break their necks to put
money in to every tool enterprise that
is jumped up, is 10 reason they do not
know good thing when they see it,
by darn sight.
The Bee deserves will Of Beeville
and has earned its rights to be ae.
cepted as the leading journal of the
country.
