A LESSON or LIFE.

Beyond the hills was my distant bourne.

What was it moaned at my feet meanwhile
poor old terrier. lame and thin;
IstoolJed and helped him over the stile.
Then would have crossed; but dreary yelp
Arrested me, and turned, to view
A lilnping poodle, whose need of help
Was manifest; and helped him, too.
OF every nation and tribe are they,
And each has fresh, resistless vile;
Each SAYS in his own peculiar way,
Just help a lame dog over the stilel'
They're greyhound, Skye, Pomcranian'
They limp along in an endless file;
Fhey'rc smooth or curly. they're black ant

They all are lame and would cross the stiie.
The shadows deepen DER hill and glen,
Dim is my pathway of many mile
Yet will renew my journey when
The last sme dog is over the stile.

A Neat Wax of Putting It.

A neat compliment was uttered once
by General Rornaine. Meeting Lady de
Brientz, whom he had known and ad-
mired in the loveliness of her youth, he
commenced complimenting her. "You
forget that am an old woman" she
said at length. Madame" returned
the gallant soldier, ''when our eyes are

PEACE AT HOMESTEAD.
EVERYBODY PLEASED THAT THE
STRIKE is OVER.
Six Hundred Strikers Apply for Reinstate-
ment-Many Find Their Places Filled
But Still Have Hope OF Employ
ment-Non. Unionists Uneasy.

HOMESTEAD, Nov. 19.-Phe decision
of the mechanical men and day labor
ers to return to work has put the
people of the town in happy frame OF
mind, and business men especially
feel that the town will soon resume its
former activity. There were 600 ap.
plications for work yesterday
at the steel works, and although
many were turned away by
reason of their positions being taken
by new men they have good reason to
believe it is only question of a short
time until nearly every man will be
back. The new men are inclined to
believe that they will not be wanted
any longer after next pay day. 1t
seems to be no secret that the COM
pany is as well pleased as the men
that the strike has to certain extent
been declared off. Applications are
being received at a lively rate and al
though many men are being turned
away they still have hopes that they
will get back in the course of time.

WESTERN GRAIN TRADE.
Galveston Taking Steps to Secure Grain
Shipments Through Her Port.

Special to The Statesman.
GALVESTON, Nov. ia meeting
of the business men of Galveston was
held in the cotton exchange tonight
for the purpose of taking steps to de-
velop the grain trade by diverting
the cereals of Southern Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas to this port for ex-
port. The meeting was we'll attended
and the matter was very thoroughly
discussed and in view of the fact that
there had been an increase of one foot
in depth of water on the outer bar
within the past year and as
the south jetty had passed the
crest of the bar, the securing
process would be accelerated, giving
every reason to hope that depth
Is feet would be secured by the first
of January, it was resolved to appoint
committee to formulate plan upon
which to organize a grain exporting
company Messrs. George Sealy, B.
Adone, Julius Runge and Gus Rey-
mershoffer were appointed such COM
mittee. This committee will get
down to business Immediately and
will draft the plan of organization of
a grain exporting company, which
they will report to a general meeting
in the near future. Everything
looks favorable to the consum-
nation of the enterprise as
some of the heavist capitalists
of the city are interested in it and
everything they have hitherto I'M
dertaken has been made success.
This coupled with the fact of lower
grain rate by cents on grain from
Kansas than that to New Orleans
point to the conclusion that Galveston
will in the near future be a grain mar
ket of considerable Importance. This
opinion is concurred in by practical
grain men from Kansas now here,
who have carefully looked the situa-
tion over and are much encouraged
by the action taken by the Galveston
business men tonight.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-11-24

spots here again at 8 1-2 for middling
while cotton for February delivery il
, at the same level. The sales today
were very small, only 900 bales from
factors tables and 1900 to arrive. The
demand was excellent, but the small
sales indicate that of our fairly good
stock very little is being offered for
sale by holders. The same condition
of affairs exists throughout the inte-
rior and accounts for the very short
offerings of f. o. b. cotton. The gen.
eral opinion of the cause of today's
boom is that a reduced crop estimate
is about to be issued by a
very prominent authority and of
which some intimation has
perhaps been just given in Liverpool
in the present state of bullish senti-
ment it would not be difficult to put
up prices, but if reports now received
are true. the movements bids fair to
show the effect of the attractive power
of higher prices combined with fine
weather and heavier receipts are
priced for the coming week. We have
become 80 accustomed to large figures
of losses that if the movement should
lose comparatively less amount than
has been of late the public would no
doubt be disappointed.
The habit of trading on the curb
after our official closing at p. n,
during the week and II o'clock noon,
on Saturdays, has become 80 extern
sive that the board of directors of the
cotton exchange has felt constrained
to call attention to the rule prohibit
ing curb trading and which has prac-
tically been a dead letter for some
time. 1t is proposed to enforce this
rule vigorously and we therefore sug-
gest to our friends the advisability of
getting their kilograms in in proper
time to reach here before our closing.
