One morning young John and his Mary
Counted their aggregate pile,
Expecting to marry and settle
in a cottage in Queen Anne style;
And they wanted 10 fit it out neatly,
From parlor TO kitchen-no fake
So they summed up their dollars and

To see how much it would take.

II reckon we won't" said John,

Said she, Il will buy where choose"
"Aud where will that be dearest Mary?'
"Why, nowhere but Olson e Wakes.
An over back suit for the parlor,
With carpet to match the portierre;
A cherrywood set for my bed room,
A rosewood and gilt secretaries:
A dainty brass bed for the spare room,
Should any one happen to call:
While an antique oak rack and settee
Well put next the door in the hall.

Guess again." said John.
"Why what is there 'acking?" said Mary.

And purchased such dainty fine wares,
Such carpets and curtains and mirrors,

| terialized they saw that he builded
wiser than they knew and additional
buildings were determined on. The
work was put into his hands. Speci,
| ficAtIons for the FORTY new buildings
were sent to the Minnesota lumber
mills and in forty days those forty
buildings were erected, tastetully dec
| GRATED and ready for the exhibitors.
Photographs of these buildings were
submitted to the LIGHT for inspec-
ton, and they were really artistic In
design and beautifully decorated. All
this ls proof of what can be done by
an energetic man who knows how.
And il is not only the same man who
put st. Joe through her PAGES that is
at the head of this work for Texas,
but the contractor who took the con.
tract for those forty buildings is the
contractor who has undertaken the
erection of the buildings at Oh cago,
and the one at Galveston as we'll. Ii
this is not so, Director Perky Is the
smoothest liar of the historic ages,
and has played the LIGHT for green
one as it has never been played before.
The signatures of the contracting par
ties; the representations of President
Andrews of this city, whose word is a
bond; the personal presence OF the
gentleman who has thus inspired all
Galveston and the Texas Directory of
the Worlds fair with confidence and
enthusiasm-sl preclude the posi-.
bility of mistake. The LIGHT has
taken pains to carefully examine into
the matters here presented and is of
the opinion that Texas. every section
OF it, under the direction of General
Perky, will be we'll represen ted at
the great Worlds gathering at Chi
cago, and that she will make no mis-
take in following the line of opera
tions that he has marked out.
The LIGHT had the pleasure, also,
of meeting those represen tative
women of the state, Mesdames Rosine
Ryan and Anna Mclean Moores. the
former one of the two southern women
appointed by President Harrison on
the Womsn's Board, and the other
one of the Women's Board for the
state of Texas. Concerning their
work and plans 1T is not now possible
to speak, but at some future time the
LIGHT will be thrown on their opera
tiOns.

having gone there with half hundred of
the most prominent newspaper men of

visitors were surprised at the magnitude of
the enterprise but family expresses the
true status. talked with leading officials
of the fair, and they expressed the greatest
concern about Texas share in the exposi-
ton. The space reserved for the state is
admirably locIted. being at the chief en-
trance of Jackson park. No Texas man
could go there and see what is doing with
out being fired with an enthusiastic desire
TO have the state represented in way
worthy its imperial domain, and It's unpar-
alleled resources. If this not done the
golden opportunity of the century is lost,
for never again can such an advertisement

Quick action is necessary or else the site

Apt,-si,ver Men Discouraged.

The Indiana delegation in congress held
a meeting to-day, and the result was dis
couraging to the anti-silver men. OPP
ponents of free silver have been looking to
Bynum of this delegation with considerable
hope that strong Democratic faction would
rally to his support on any proposition
to postpone the vote on the free coinage bill
till the next session. 1t is stated after the
silver bill had been dc bated a week or more
Bynum would move a postponement Of
further discussion. These reports, how
ever. cannot be verified, for Bynum said to-
day he would go with the state conference.
At the conference this afternoon it was
ascertained that the majority Of Indiana
Democrats in congress are free coinage
men, They did not attempt TO bind anyone,
but, nevertheless, all present agreed to act
as a unit on the question and vote against
postponement of the free coinage bill, and
in favor OF its passage.
