ask him questions, he was SO alfred

Then Auguste Fontaine, the black
smith, slowly gathered himself together
for the effort, and spoke. for the man
was pOnderous as one of his own great

his lips save an oath to some refractory
horse or q roar of anger at his wife if a

from what could learn as passed by,
he was offerin' man hundred dollars
if he'd go afore justice O peace at
Glastonbury an swear to q converse

Damiens in your stable last night"
Mr.. Dolman's face was o picture Of
discomposure.
''An' what did the Teller say? Did he
take the offer?'' he asked, wiping the
big beads of Precipitation from his brow.
''That couldn't quite tell you, Jim, -
was the unconsoling reply, but the
chap went to Glastonbury in Bladon's
return rig Like ez not he's a layin' for

'sThen all kin say" Dolman de-
clared, sis tibet it is a base conspiracy
to take away the character Of q honest
man. What! Is the word of tramp

''Phonse,' ses I, don't yer go for ter du

Dolman stopped, as though instan-
taneously bereft of speech; for there,
not 4 dozen feet from him, stood
Damiens, with such malignant scowl
on his face that the old mans blood ran
cold. All were amazed at the appari-
ton, for it is little startling to see
standing before you the man you be-
lieve to be in a foreign country fleeing
from justice.
Though his face was pale as death
and a wild light lurhed in those mag
nifcent dark eyes, he was the most
elf-possessed man in the store.
Don't let me interrupt the converse
ton, Jim. What were you saying,
which interested our friends so much?''
Fer the Lords sake, 'Phonse, don't

when Bladon seemed lettering to the

Read Their Ads,

The new store now occupied by
the Levine Bros. is undergoing i'm
proyements which will make it in a
few days one of the most convenient
places in the city as it is one of the
largest. Great skylights are being put
in and the electric lighting is to be or
large scale. The junior partner is
now in New York buying, and new
goods are arriving daily. The stock
for spring will be one of the finest
ever offered to the people of Waco,
and embrace all the newest designs
and patterns in staple and fancy
goods, This excellent firm which for
the last twenty years has been doing
business in Waco has always kept
abreast of the times and this year will
surpass all previous efforts to
please the great public taste, in all dir
ections. With their great new stock
arriving and to arrive they will be
distanced by no similar firm in the city
and with every convenience, and low
prices will make the season of 1892
conspicuous. Ladies who are all wide
awake on dry goods both as to quality
and price should never miss the fresh
bright advertisements of the Levine
Bros. which appear in THE News as
they from time to time set forth the
attractions to purchasers. 1t is pc.
culiaritv of this firm that their bar
gains offered from time in their adj
vertisemen are always up to the
promises made in the ad. and being
often better. Ladies should make the
advertisements of Levine Bros. a
daily perusal.

mars WORK AT WASHINGTON.

Senator Cockerell Of Missouri,
and Representive O'Neill Of Mas
sachusetts, have aroused the ire
of the department clerks by intro
ducing bills in their respective
houses requiring clerks to work
eight hours a day instead of SIX
and half as fixed by the heads
of the departments. The Times
Democrat in the course of an edi-
torial Says: "The senators are
greatly divided on this subject of
exacting more work from the
clerks; and, Notwithstanding the
production Of irrefutable figures
showing that by increasing the
days work to eight hours instead
Of the present six and a half an
expense Of between 100000 and
$500, 900 would be annually saved
to the country, the probabilities
are that the bill will be
defeated in the senate. Senator
Teller, Of Colorado, has made him
self the champion Of the clerks in
opposing the measure; and such
pitiful pictures Of poor, over
wrought and aching brains and of
an intelligent work in conse-
quence, does he conjure up as
sure to result from the proposed
excessive work, that senatorial
sympathy is greatly on his side
and that the bill stands but a
meagre chance of passing. Eight
hours is not too much for any
man or woman to work each day.
Farmers work on an average
about twelve hours a day the
year round and men in some of
the professions do even more.
OF course the shorter the day the
larger the number Of employees
at the capital and as this
constitutes one of very desirable
political pulls it is not likely that
any reformation can be hoped for
at present.

porter TAP Scale VS.. Baker.
These important decisions, firmly
establish the personal responsibility of
officers and directors of corporate or
banking institutions in Texas and
should receive the careful considera-
ton of merchants and business men
generally. This responsibility cannot
be avoided by the plea ofignorance of
the affairs of the bank or company
they represent, and if supposed yearly
examinations Of the books are careless
ly, indifferently, or falsely made,
whereby said directors and the public
are deceived as to the true condition
of affairs, they are not excused or held
less liable, and the depositors and
stock hoiders who are losers thereby
can recover. AudiIs and examina
tions of books of company or corpo
ration should be made by special and
disinterested accountants, of estab-
lished reputation in their business,
for the benefit and protection of
officers, directors, stockholders, and
the public generally.

Hon. G. B. Gerald as stated in

in which McLennan county is To-
Gated be that district arranged as
it may. There IS not the least
indication as yet what district
McLennan county will be in, nor
is there any indication as to the
other counties to compose it.
Judge Gerald however pur-
poses to make the race
against the field even if he does
not know at this time its metes
and bounds or the personnel of the
opposition. He has not begun
his canvass yet but his speech two
years ago SO far as it dealt with
questions OF national import can
perhaps be taken as a predicate
His views then expressed were
sound and met with general ap-
proval. There are of course ques-
tons which have come to the
front since that time upor
which it is necessary for him to
give expression, but Judge Ger
aid is not a man who is afraid o
any question of general or party
principles CT policy and he will
spleak no uncertain sound wheI
