TIE. she dressed neatly. AID her
clothas fitted her like the bright and
angry surface Of boil. She seated her
self with great dignity. and everybody's
eye was upon her. A fine looking trav-
cling mSn removed the curl papers from

sensation through the car. ! was anx-

on that subject. No matter how beau
tiful woman may be, with harsh
voice she is a disappointment |. with
the rest Of the passengers, remained al
most breathless waiting for her to speak.
As the train slowly moved out OF the de-

Texas is IA marvellous state, as | have
had occasion 10 say before. There are
sixteen kinds OF climate and a million
kinds Of fora and fauna in this vast
empire. Cotton grows in great abun-
dance in almost all parts Of the state,
and at Galveston, figs. bananas, oranges
and lemons are TO be seen growing as
naturally IS potatoes. At Galveston the
oleander is the natural hedge. Instead
OF having To carry this fragile Scandi-
nayian down cellar every November in a
large green tub, il is left out by the citi-
zen Of Galveston just as the Michigan
man does his thrashing machine, 10
buffet the storms of winter and 10 come
up smiling in the spring. The oleander
is now in full bloom. Also the cape
jasmine, big, beautiful bloom that
just turns itself loose regardless Of ex-
pense and perfumes whole county at a
time.
Texas, Of course, is quite new state,
and often for miles along the road the
newly cleared fields are heavily aud pro-
fusely punctuated with stumps. Inever
regretted more thoroughly my haste and
thoughtlessness in coming away without
my stump puller than l have on this
trip.
Yesterday, ON the Houston and Shreve-
port road, a man who had boarded the
train about an hour before looked ort
at window just as we were going through
a sort of swamp and lost his hat off. 1t
was quite awhile before he could get
the train to stop, but it did, and heaven
is my judge. the train stopped but the
conductor refused to go back after the
hat. The man who lost it had to 90
back and get it himself. 1t was miser-
able old felt hat, with broad brim and
an oily dado around the crown too. I
never saw cannon bali train stop for
