Do Not Enlist, Workingmen.

If real danger threatens the nation
let workingmen do as they have al
ways done, as they did in '61, enlist
and save the nation from her enemies;
but from this time forward do not
enlist to strengthen the hands OF
those who are lowering the standard
of American wages. Donot enlist to
do battle for your enemies against
YOUR friends. Do not usurp the place
which was made detestable and odius
by the presence OF a Pinkerton, and
when you have sense enough to DO
that, the naughty employer OF labor
will think twice before he strikes a
blow at the right OF men to organ

Sheltering the Stock Pays.


Stock well Wintered is half Sum-
mered, and the reason is, that ami
mails which have been neglected in
Winter get very poor. They don't get
nutriment enough to keep them grow
ing and by the time the Summer is
ended have just begun to fatten
little. Every farmer should have
barns for his stock, says writer in
Farmer and Breeder, both for the big
profit there is in them, and to be hu-
name to the dumb brutes.
To comprehend the animals feelings
rightly, just imagine that we had to
lie out in the cold snow, mud and rain.
Every person who has stock should
have kind feelings for them. Think OF
it, you who have not sufficient stable
room, and you will undoubtedly pre-
pare some kind of shelter. You can
put up sheds even if you have to
cover them with straw, which will be
better than none at all. Stock own
ers, get ready and build. Don't putt
off any longer. You can feed your
stock on one-half the amount and
keep them in better order than you
can by letting them stay out doors If
bad weather.

Farm implements are costly, and
good care of them pays a handsome
dividend on the investment. Try it,
ard see if it doesn't.
Lining the Stables,


The condition in which some far
mers keep their stables, both for
horses and cattle, is simply disgrace
full. They are seldom cleaned at all,
and then the work is only half done.
The same old dirt and stencil are
carried along from year to year,
standing menace to the health of the
stock, and q shameful evidence Of
neglect and carelessness on the part
of the farmer.
The stables ought to be kept clean
and sweet. No accumulations of
manure or old rubbish of any kind
should be allowed. If the cleaning is
frequently done there will be no great
amount OF labor involved in keeping
the stables in good condition.
But they want to be sweetened as
we'll as cleaned, and there is nothing
that can be applied to better advan-
tage for this purpose than lime in the
form of whitewash.
Some time ago we read of an ingeni-
GUS method OF applying whitewash in
a very rapid and effectual way In
stead of a brush, a force pump was
used with a fine spraying nozzle. By
this means the liquid could not only
be rapidly applied, but forced into
every nook and Granny of the wood
work, as could not possibly be done
with brush. The inventor of this
method employed it mainly in whiten-
ing his fences, tree-trunks, etc. But
the editor OF Field and Farm has
found it equally advantageous in linn
ing the stables.
The pump used was of the straight
single brass cylinder sort, weighing
four or five pounds, made on the
double acting principle, to be used in
a pail or barrel. The hose was leng-
thened to eight feet, and Nixon No.
8 spraying nozzle was attached to it.
Any nozzle that will throw
q fine spray will do. With
this implement, which can be
bought for about SIS, he found that
the cleansing material could be forced
into the remotest corners and crevices,
doing a perfect job, while ten times
more work could be done in a given
time, and vastly better, than with
brush.
Such an application, made as often
as seems to be necessary to keep the
premises sweet, would be much better
than a coat of paint, as we'll as a
good deal cheaper. And the chicken
houses, hog pens, granaries, cellars,
and, in fact, all the farm buildings
would be benefited with an application
now and then of this purifying agent
particularly, and often, the chicken
houses, where troublesome lice are
apt to congregate.

AMUSEM ENTS.

A fair audience was in attendance at
the Grand opera house last night to see
The Colonel" one of Oscar SisSon's COM
edieS. The play was evidently written
simply to cause laughter, as it is from be-
ginning to end a continual line of humOr
Gus sayings and actions which occasion
an overly large amount of applause. Mrs.
GrInglethrope, by Josephine Florence
Shepherd, was the leading lady per-
former and Alfred Hummer by Harry
Saint Maur. the leader Of the men. They
are both very clever in action, but Miss
Spepherd could improve somewhat in her
stage manner: she is a bit too stiff and
one has tendency TO think she has good
opinion of herself. Miss Flarence VOL
colt, assuming the roll of Rose Hummer,
makes the hit of the performance with
her sweet and melodiouS voice. The same
company will appear tonight. Tomorrow

ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Our building boom is taking little hoI-

The arteSian well is getting deeper ana

Pleasure parties on the pavilion are not
as frequent now as during the summer
months.
West End has no school house yet and
is not likely TO get one during the present
city government, but it is not so very hard
on parents as our street cars only charge
219 cents for scholars.
The Echoes seldom ever hear any poll

time one ought to be permitted to venture
near both, while Rev. Sam Jones is here,
without having to apologize. Have you

which, translated and slightly trans

Luther practiced what he preached; he

manded that the Catholic clergy should
live in celibacy, in the latter part OF the

A GypSy Party.

The ladies Of the Sunset Baptist
church, again last night illustrated the
fact that their abilities to give an enjoy
able church festival were great. Their
entertainment last night, given for the
benefit of their church, was something
out of the usual order, being a gypsy
party. In front of the church there is a
large lawn, WHICH looked perfect pari-
disc. The silver rays of Luna shown, as
sisted by the mellow glow of fifty or more
Chinese lanterns and the search
ing light of locomotive head
light made it as light s.. as day.
Tables were set, at which iceicream, cake
and lunch were served by pretty watt
resses, who were clad in dresses OF white
with red caps and red aprons, there were,
Mrs. Stephenson, Misses Jessie Smith,
Nettis Blades, Laura White, Nora Oryis,
Sidney Smith. Alice Golden, Mary Lee
and Nellie White. On the other side of
the yard, hidden by palm trees, was
well OF lemonade at which Rebecca, Miss
Jessie White, presided, and welcomed her
customers She was assisted by Mrs.
Blades. The stands were presided over
by ladies, as follows: Ice cream, MeSdameS
Powell, Small, Hunt, Mott and Pickerin;

learning, the German English school,

fury has successfully withstood the
changes of fortune AID now stands forth
as a monument of faithful work and good
management. 1t is EuOwn throughout
this part of Texas as a place where the
pureSt German and best of English are
taught to its students.
The arrangements for the entertain
ment were completed yesterday afternoon
and last night the ladies threw open the
doors of the grand old hall, which, in
very short time was filled with friends
of the institution. 1t was about $50
o'clock when Miss Emmy Hertzberg sat
down at the piano and in a mas
terly manner rendered the Introductory.
The program rendered then was as fol-
lows:

Guided with song by the Beethoven

At the conclusion of the program the au-

on numerous beverages and eatableS. The

five cents, the rod was purchased, and
they took their chances in the pond.

Around the Opera House.

There are two young men who attend
regularly the theatre. They purchase a
fifty cent ticket, occupy seats in the negro
row during the first act and then repair
to a desirable seat down stairs. They are
popular society boys, who apparently
have lots of money.
1t is quite impOlite for a man to leave
the theatre between acts. especially while
in company with lady, but nevertheless
it is practiced here to finish.
1t is rather embarrassing for ladies to
walk through the hall in the Grand opera
house building after performance when
she is eyed by a hundred different men
and boys.
This season the usherS are doing very
good work. mo delay and polite attention
