JUDGE D. H. HARDY.
A Deserved Tribute to a Sterling
Young Lawyer of the
Waco Bar.

The election of d. Fl. Hardy ESQ
to act as special county judge, during
the illness of Judge W. H. jenkins,
was deserved compliment to a
worthy young man. Upon the third
ballot he was declared elected by
Judge Dyer. who was selected by the
members Of the bar present, to act as
chairman.
Mr.. Hardy returned his thanks to
the bar in a manner that showed his
deep appre oiation of the honor
conferred upon him. He concluded
his brief and timely remarks by say.
ing, "the honor possessed a deeper
meaning to him because coming from
lawyers. That it was the more graft
flying because conferred upon him by
his confreres at the bar; bar justly
distinguished for its erudition and
integrity" Mr.. Hardy's election
meets with universal COM
mendation from those who know
him, and We predict will be
as warmly commend by those that do
not now know him when his judicial
labors are concluded. The ERIN inc
thus cast upon him will never be
dragged in the dust.

What a Singer Can Eat.

AS to diet, the girl who wants to be
singer should avoid sweets ofall kinds.
There is nothing better than food OF
the plainest kind, writes Marie Roze
in an article on GLOW to Preserve the
Voice." in the December Ladies
Home Journal Pastry, nuts, all
monds, raisins, pickles, rich sauces are
simply poison to a singer, above all
people, should partake of only that
class of food which digests easily.
Never eat closer than two hours be-
fore you sing. go further: If I singa
eight O'Clock, Ieat at four in the after
noon.
AS regards fluids, all are harmful if
taken in lmmoderate quantities. Milk
is good, but it is best mixed with So
da-water or seltzer. Wines OF any
kind are injurious, and | cannot be
too emphatic in warning all girls who
aspire to be singers to abstain from
them. 1 have known some Of the
most promising voices to be utterly
ruined by even the smallest indul-
gence in wine. Fresh and ripe fruit
always makes a good diet for singer,
especially grapes.
+ The voice is regulated by the health
OF it's possessor, and just as she takes
care of that or neglects it she will
make success or failure. A good
voice cannot come from an unhealthy
constitution. II ever two things We're
inseparable, they are good health and
q good voice. With the former, the
latter, is possible; without it, vocal
excellence is impossible.

A DANGEROUS Guest.

OF three thousand people living on
his grounds, only six or seven hundred
escaped, land these principally by cling

Mr.. Campbslps house was crammed so
close as scarcely to admit another
individual, what should come squeez-
ing and pushing it's way into the inter
ior but an immense tiger. Having
reached the room in which Mr. Camp
bell was sitting, he nestled himself
down in one OF the corners. like a
Newfoundland dog. Mr.. Campbell
then loaded his gun In very quiet
manner, and shot the dangerous guest

GENUINE PLUCK.
How Samantha Foiled the Wolves
and Got the Deer.

How Samantha Foiled the Wolves
and Got the Deer
Some Of the widest and most ro-
mantle E adventures OF life do not find
their way into print and are unheard
OF, except by a few scattered friends
OF those concerned in them. The fol-
loving story was related to the writer,
while seated by the campfire of an old
hunter, among the pines of the upper
peninsula in Michigan. stYou mind
that boat we saw in the water at the
landin' just before we started down
tn stream to day don't you? Well
there was a woman lived bout two
miles beloW here on the river with her
man. They had no neighbors, there
want a house in seven miles of them.
1t was just bout this time year, the
ground was covered with six inches of
snow but the river was open, it never
freezes SO early, fed by springs, you
know.
The man was a. Swede and
the woman I don't know what
she was, but she had a power OF
grit. -.
You see, John, got desperate sick,
he was the man, and it came all of a
sudden one night and kept growing
on him until morning. Well as no one
was there but Samantha she had to
go for medicine and care.
She got into that boat and started
up against the swift current to the
station. Think mister, of one o. your
city gals being placed in her fix
IN woods like these, with
a pair of oars and having
to row seven miles against a. heavy
| current, lots of men would drop that
job.
Well Samantha rowed hard and
pushed the boat up rapids, and tugged
along till she had got bout to mile
and half OF the station in some shall
| low wafer, where the creek was mar
row above the main fork of the river.
and being sort Of exhausted she sat
still to rest a minute but there want
| no rest, she heard duced big
| noise at her back and looking round
she saw deer just in the act of Jump
ing into the boat. He was a noble
buck of the forest and was being
chased by three ghostly large timber
wolves which were at his heels. Before
she had time to say skat he was all in
a heap in the boat.
In a fit of desperation, without
KNOWN it Samantha struck the deer
IN the throat with her knife, and as
| luck would have it, he died.
Then the plucky woman hollered
and screamed till the wolves
which stood growing on the
bank, skunk off into the for
est, she went on to the station and
told her story but before they saw the
deer they wouldn't believe her.
The section boss and his wife came
down with her and brought some med
icine for the sick man. I tell you mis-
ter she had pluck. Some folks would
not believe this yarn but it is so.''-

Fruit men say that when fruit is
barreled, and is to be hauled several
miles by teams before being shipped,
the barrels should be laid down on
their sides SO that they will not
be shaken closer together and thus be
left looser in the barrel than when
packed. 5S
Sheep should be kept on every FARM,
not for the wool alone, but for the
mutton for home use and tor sale,

The Size of Alligators,

| have seen numerous specimens OF
our saurian no longer than an ordi-
nary lead-pencil; this was in the sea-
son Of their Matching. I have also
seen few living specimens about six
teen feet in length. In the autumn OF
1875 [ obtained for the late Efing-
ham Lawrence, Member of Congress,
and Commissioner from Louisiana to
the Centennial Exhibition, the dried
skin of an alligator which, after at
least fifteen inches had been cut from
the snout and skull, and ten inches
from the end of the tail, still measured
seventeen feet ten inches in length.
Allowing more than six inches for
shrinkage in drying, this monster OF
his kind, alive, must have measured
more than twenty feet. He was killed
IN the lower part OF Bayou Lafour-
che. a
Probably the largest alligator ever
seen in Louisiana was killed in a small
lake on the plantation of H. J. Feltus
IN Concordla Parish. According to
the statement of Mr.. Feltus, now
OF Baton Rouge, this specimen meas
ured twenty-five feet in length. The
great reptile had long been famous for
hmjles around having destroyed num-
bers Of hogs and hounds owned in the
neighborhood of his retreat. He had
become so wary, from the number of
Intellectual shots fired at him, as to be
almost unapproachable. Finally he
fell q victim to a long shot fired from
a Mississippi rifle in the hands of Mr..
Feltus, Who had persevered in hunting
him, having been the greatest loser by
his depredations. The huge carcass
Of this reptile was towed to the bank
by a boat. 1t required the strength
Of a pair OF mules and a stout rope to
haul it ashore, where the measurement
was made with the result noted above.

"A Wise Toad.
A lady used to sit after tea almost
every evening on a stone step at the
head OF q flight Of terraces which led
from bay window down into the
garden. AS this window was 4. not
overlooked by any neighbours. win
dow, it was the family custom to
leave the curtains up in the evening,
and let the CHEEKY light Of the student
lamp which stood on the large reading
table shine out.
One evening, as the lady sat on the
step, she saw a large toad hopping on
the grass toward her When he had
come within about eight inches of the
window, he suddenly settled himself
into the longgrass, having selected as
his resting place little hollow, SO
that only the very top of his head and
his cleaning eyes showed above the
grass. 49,
There he sat, without moving, until
the dampness sent his observer into
the house. The next evening shefound
that the toad had already taken his
place when she seated herself on the
step; and on several successive even
lngs ne was sittlngin exactly the same
spot by the time the sun had fairly
set.
The lady's curiosity was by this
time aroused to such a degree that she
determined to defy the dampness, and
stay IN her position on the step until
she saw what the toad accomplished
IN his hiding place. The next evening,
therefore, she provided herself with a
thick shawl, and took her accustomed
seat, little later than usual.
AS the light faded the toad rose
from his position and hoped towards
her little way; then, after solemnly
and anxiously regarding her for some
moments, he returned to his hollow,
evidently deciding that she was a
harmless person, not bent on making
trouble for him, as he had at first
feared
When the lamp in the window was
lighted, it seemed to her that the
toad raised his head a little and
took on an attitude of great Wig
lance. The cause was soon appar-
ent
After a few moments a large moth,
attracted by the light, dashed against
the window in a vain endeavor to
gain entrance. After futtering wildly
against the glass, it suddenly dropped,
blinded to the ground, and the toad
sprang forward and secured it.
This was only his first victim, and
at the end Of half an hour the, watch
er went into the house with her curl
osity fully satisfied. Some one to
whom she told the story suggested
that the toad might have happened
on the favorable position the first
night; but his friend persisted that he
had discovered it by his own unaided
intelligence.

Independents, which appeared not
long since in the Berlin Nation.
The article in question was brought
out by the draft of the proposed
school law which probably COM
manded a majority in the Reich
stag, but which the widespread and
deep-seated opposition manifested
throughout the country, forced the
Government to withdraw, thus
leading to the resignation of Chan
cellor Caprivi.
The school law referred to was
supposed to be a pet project Of the
Emperor's, and it was conceived
with the direct intention of fortifY-
ing the monarchy against the spirit
of change by summoning religion
to its aid. 1t is customary in
Germany to give elementary
religious instruction in the
schools. This is a natural
consequence of the existence of a
State religion. The instruction

TIE practice of passing for each
legislative period the salaries of all
the employees of the government,
great and small, appears to be
based on the usage of the United
States, but would seem to be of
questionable expediency. When a
department is thoroughly organ
lied and running smoothly, the
salaries of all who hold recognized
permanent positions might be fixed
once for all, by law. This would
save great deal of trouble, and
would also remove from the tenure
of Office that element of uncer-
tainty as to the rate of remunera-
ton, which is one of the evils of
the public service. A change of
the nature indicated, if feasible,
would result in an economy of
time which would shorten the
Legislative session somewhat, and
abate a serious nuisance.
