The Other Mans Hat.

A very amusing incident occurred in
one of the local churches Sunday. As a
visitor entered the church he was shown
to seat by one of the sections, and after
seating himself quietly and placing his
hat beside him on the seat, he became an
attentive listener to the proceedings. As
time passed on, however, he became nery.
GUS and uneasy, and reaching for his hat
was about to leave, when he was STONED
by some person, who tapped him on his
shoulder from behind. Thinking it was
the sexton who wished him to remain till
the close of the service he waited; but in a
few minutes he again reached for his hat.
and was prevented in the same manner
as before.
He now came to the conclusion that tho
service must be an important one, and that
the sexton did not wish him to disturb the
proceedings in any way, SO he again seated
himself. After waiting for some time
longer he resolved to leave at all hazards
He made another grasp for his hat, and
was again tapped on the shoulder: but he
did not heed it and arose to leave. when a
voice from behind him exclaimed, 81 beg
your pardon, but that Is my hat you have.H
The visitor made hasty apology, picked
up his own hat, which had fallen upon the
floor, and left, while the observers Uttered.

He "Fired" the Reporter,

Mr.. Hesing, editor Of The Staats-Zeitung,
Of Chicago, had an experience with a new
reporter not long ago that almost caused a
fit of apoplexy. One night there was a fire
just across the street from the Office, and
Mr.. Hesing called on Schmidt, the new
man, to "go over and take look at it"
Mr.. Hesing and Schmidt stood on the Office
steps for short time, and then the former
left for his home. The blaze was serious
one, and all the morning papers but one
gave the item from one-third to one-half
column. The exception was The Stats
Zeitung.
Mr.. Hesing always talks English when
be is angry, so when he called for "Dot fell
low Schmidt" we all knew things for the
new reporter were not going to be so pleas
ant as might be. Schmidt appeared before
his chief. IVY didn't you write up dot
firef" asked Mr.. Hesing. Ivy. you saw
de whole blazes yourself. Vat vas der use
of writing itS If you hadn't seen dot fire
| would have written Something's" Mr..
Hesing was hot. 81 tell you vot you do,

body asks you vas you working NIT der

How People Disguise Themselves.

Most of US hide behind DISCUSSES.
Some do it innocently, from shynesss
They shrink from standing in naked per
sonality before the world. So they cloak
themselves in mannerisms. Usually there
are lonely souls which brood over them
selves. Thus in isolated farmhouses,
whittier the poets send US for the simplici-
ties of nature, one is likely to find more
Alterations and tricks Of manner than in
our city dwellings.
The affectation of a quality, of an aci
complishment, is covert roguery. The
overt rogue picks your pocket in his game
OF hideand-seek with society. But the
man who would win Your esteem, admirs-
ton, affection, confidence, by appearing to
be what he is not, is a rogue so subtle that
he often ends in deceiving himself.
There is the sweet infantile creature who
shippers and writhes, and drops her chin to
look up from under her lashes, and uses all
manner of guile to show you how guileless
she Is. There is the strong minded woman
who talks in chest tones, is always posi-
tive, and holds advanced opinions on all
points - borrowed opinions, since the
strength of her mind is not in the direction
OF originating any. There are the ignorant
people who affect culture
This sort of dishonesty gulls only the
dullard. Such Alterations are open adyer-
tisements Of poverty, since no one affects
what he possesses.-Harper's Bazaar.

matter just to get "A bite Of lunch that
few realize what gigantic business it is
merely to supply hungry people down
town at noon, because few bring their
lunches with them, and from the forma-
ton OF the city none can go home.
This establishment feeds 5000 people a
day, and the amount Of food required to

TEXAS MINES AND MINERALS,

VERNON, May ii. w. Dallas, leading
farmer of Greer county, was in Vernon
yesterday purchasing supplies. In CONVEX
sation, with THE GAZETTE representative he
says that the gold excitement over there is
increasing and that he has staked claim
with several others near Navajoe. He saws
not long since Greer county man was
returning from the Territory with sack
of gold and silver ''fioat" he had
picket up, but was made to lay it down by
the Indians. He says that free gold float,
is not an uncommon thing to find, and that
the excitement over there is growing. Mr..
Dallas is an honorable gentleman, and we
are positive he would not exaggerate the
facts for any purpose. Who knows but
that portions of Greer county and the In
dian Territory may become one of the rich
est mining regions in the country. Mr.
Benton, who has been mentioned in this
connection, was in town yesterday from the
mines, and says he has confidence enough
in the prospects to sink his last dollar in

George WashinGton's Fastidious Kinsman.
Lawrence, Earl of Ferrers, a distant rela-
tive of George Washington, had a most
tyrannical temper, and one day, in fit of
passion, he cut down with his sword his
steward, an old gentleman named John
son. The latter had given no provocation
for the deed, and the crime was an act of
brutality, inexcusaole save that the earl
may not have been well balanced mentally.
He was brought to trial for killing John
son, and demanded and received the priyi-
lege Of being tried by his peers.
The house Of lords was thronged during
the hearing. The evidence proved to be
conclusive, and Ferrers was sentenced to
be hanged at Tyburn. Appeals were made
to the king for clemency, but in vain.
Ferrers met his fate with considerable
bravado. He was carefully attired for the
occasion, and insisted on providing silken
cord for the ceremony. To this within the
executiofer agreed, and the earl was
turned off otherwise like any other COM
mon felon.
1t may be worthy of mention that this
unfortunate nobleman was not only re-
lated to George Washington, but was also
q direct descendant Of King Edward III
OF England. His motto, singulsrly enough,
was, "Honor, the reward Of virtue. Chi
