A Very Strong Hint.

Gus De Smith arrived little late at a
sociable given by Mrs. Dey Street. When
he arrived he sought her presence, and
having found her said:
Il beg a thousand pardons for coming SO
late"
my dear sir" replied the lady, "you can
never come too late"
Gus thinks this is n hint to stay away
altogether.-Texas Siftings.

CANTON, o., Oct. The Ohio congress
sional conventions this year were remarka-
bic for the reason that majority of the
candidates named by them were men almost
unknown in national politics. This is true
of both Republicans and Democrats, and
the Buckeye representation in the next
congress will be distinguished for the new
faces it will contain. A majority of the
present members of tho house failed in
their efforts to secure denomination.
Some declined to run again, and new men,
almost strangers to national politics,
forged ahead and secured the prizes in con-
ventions.

UN DOOUMENTO

Como dato curioso para 81 porvenir
reproducimos ell acta de Bbiuraci6n sus-
crita por ell joven don Seraffn Noya.
En- este fin de siglo tan turbulento y
positivista, an hecho asi resulta de tai
modo extrano, que sorprende y admira.
Un hombre de la 6pocs, un mason
besando sandalias J hunill6ndose con-
tritO, nos parece raro ejemplar de una
Taza extinta.
Copiemos:
"En Ell nombre de Dios. Amen.
"Yo, Seraffn NOya y Frfas, deseando
contraer matrimonio can6nico, sbiuro
solemnemente de la secta mas6nica que
he pertenecido, conGeso todos y csda
uno de los articulos de f6 de la iglesia
y presto rendida obediencia al Jefe Su-
premo de la misms, quien pido perd6n
por mi rebeldfa y al cual prometo eD
manos del sefior Vicsrio de esta Parro-
quia, Don Santiago Amat Delegado del
sehor Obispo, no volver pertenecer &
la secta mas6nica. Hsgo esta abjuraci6n
spont8nesmente, despu6s de hacer en-
trega al mismo senior Vicario Don San
tiago Amat de todos los di piom8s, titu-
los insignias, libros y demas sfmbolos
de la secta, de la que repito abjuro solem-
nemente-Seratfn Noya-Tomas Care
ra-Tomas Vazquez-Santiago Amat."
Verdaderamente el senior Noya es
punto menos cue un heroe.
Mucho valor ha menester para pros
ternarse las plantas del Padre Amat;
para olvidarse de si mismo; para negar
sus hermanOs.
