DR.. Lewis, of Grapevine, Gives the Views
of His People.
DR.. H. A. Lewis, of Grapevine, is one
the warehouses of Democracy in Tarrant
county. In the executive committee meet
ing Saturday he declared that he had been
at pains to ascertain what his people
wanted and had found that they were
largely against the nominating of county
candidates. In talking with TIE GAZETTE
man Or. Lewis said:
''There is an element there that want
neither Clark or Hogg; there is an element
there who would take Clark in preference
to Hogg. In my opinion neither Clark nor
Hogg will be nominated. The convention
will simply turn both loose-no dark horse
in that convention. Personally have not
decided for whom am in favor-wil wait
until the canvass goes little further. If
the bars are let down and all our friends,
the enemy, come in and participate in the
primary the race will be mech -and-neck be-
tween Culberson and Mills in Grapevine.
The people there are almost unit against
a county nomination of officers, want free
for-all race-a hurdle race, as it were. The
straight out Democracy will vote the ticket,
l think. The people say on the railroad
commission that they want to give it a
trial, that they favor an elective commits
on the matter 1t is generally believed
that there will be candidate for the legis-
lature from. Grapevine in case there are two
offices to be filed; if there is only one our
people prefer Fort Worth having it."

Lulu was only four years old, and
she liked to play with the kittens
better than her dolls. She would
dress them up in the dolls clothes,
and take them to ride up and down
the room In her little carriage, and
put them In the dolls bed and try to
sing them to sleep.
Lulu was very fond of her little
cousin Amy, who lived in another
part of the city, and came to see her
sometimes, and she thought she would
like to give Amy her kittens.
So one day she put the three kittens
into her apron very carefully and car
ried them to the street corner, on
which stood big mail-box, painted
red.
1t was for packages and newspapers
that could not be put in the little box,
Lulu had very often seen her NAM
ma put packages in there to send
away, and she thought that in order
to send the kittens to Amy she had
only to put them in the box.
She lifted the lid, and dropped the
kittens in one by one. Then she ran
home, very happy over what she had
done,
When she had plsyed with her
dolls a little while she went upstairs
to her rnotheri, and asked If five
O'Clock had come yet.
at is almost FIVE said her mother.
"Then Amy will almost get my
Attans," said Lulu, for she had
heard that the carrier came every
day at five O'Clock to take up the
mail.
Her mother asked her what she
rgant, and when she heard that the
kfttens had been put in the mail-box
she laughed great deal.
II think we had better go out, and
see If they are still there" she said
to, L,tlu.
They reathed the mail-box just in
thle, for the carrier had opened it
and taken the kittens out, and very
much surprised he looked. He was
very glad to put the three mewing
little creatures into Lulu's apron, and
she carried them home again, where
Tabby was looking for them and
growing very uneasy.
Amy was given one Of the kittens
the next time size came to see Lulu,
but she carried it home in her arms,
and did not try sending it by mail. -

Galvanized Into life.

A remarkable recovery from snake
bite is reported from Cranbourne, New
Zealand. Hourigan, an engine driver
and inspector of pumps on the Gjpps-
land railway line, was oiling the plunger
of pump, when snake bit him on the
hand. Hourigan scarifed and sucked
the wound, and felt no inconvenience be-
yond general drowsiness. Last Friday,
declaring himself quite well, he again
proceeded to Pakenham, and finding the
necessity to give the "plunger" second
oiling, he was in the act of SO doing
when snake again bit the same hand,
only half an inch from the first wound,
the fangs penetrating so deep that Hou-
rigan had to knock the snake off with
his left hand, suffering acute pain. He
hurried to the Pakenham station, and
the stationmaster applied ligatures at the
wrist and above the elbow, and sent the
sufferer to Berwick, where he appeared
to be dying. The local doctor injected
strychnine and then sent him to Dande-
nong, where the doctors injected the
thirtieth of grain of strychnine, and
kept the patient walking up and down,
till after few hours he became black in
the face and his limbs were perfectly
limp, when another thirtieth of a
grain of strychnine and twenty
minims of ammonia were injected and
brandy administered. Then he appeared
somewhot better, but relapsing, the in
jections were repeated for the third time,
but in an hours time he collapsed. Ether
was injected without avail, and then the
gaIvanic battery was applied to the nape
of the neck and the apex of the heart,
galvanizing the man into life, when he
became nearly mad with rage, owing to
congestion of the brain. The doctor
opened vein, but the blood was toe
thick to flow and cupping was resorted
to, four ounces of blood being removed.
From this time the sufferer showed signs
of recovery, and he is now considered
out of danger, although the battery
treatment had to be used until 2 o'clock
the next morning. The battery was {

Dudley Thought Aloud,

The habit of talking aloud was a
popularity of one Of the Earls of
Dudley, and of this habit an amusing
anecdote is told in the Sheffield Tele-
graph. Lord Dudley, being invited
to the house of friend, had ordered
his carriage at an early hour, having
some miles to travel before he could
obtain his accustomed repose. To
his modification, after repeated in
quiries for Lord Dudley's carriage, it
had not arrived
One of the guests, seeing how much
his Lordship was disconnected by the
event, very politely offered him seat
in his.
The gentleman in question had to
pass his Lordship's house on his re-
turn home, and, though he was al
most stranger to Lord Dudley, his
rank and position in the country
were, of course, well known to him.
Nevertheless they had not been seat
ed in the carriage more than twenty
minutes when the peer, who had up
to that moment maintained a most
perfect silence, observed in low but
distinctly audible tone of voice:
"Im very sorry / accepted his offer,
don't know the man. 1t was civil,
certainly; but the worst is, suppose
must ask him to dinner"
He then relapsed into his former
state of taciturnity, when, after a
few minutes, the gentleman, pretend
ing to be afflicted with the same fail
ing and initiating his Lordship's tone,
observed:
perhaps he'll think 1 did it to
make his acquaintance. Why, /
would have done the same to any far
mer on his estate. l hope he won't
think it necessity to ask me to din
ner, for / shan't accept his invita-
tiOn."
Lord Dudley listened to him with
earnest interest, Immediately COM
pretended the joke which he himself
had provoked, offered his hand with
much hearty good will to his compan-
ion, making every proper apology for
his involuntary rudeness, and from
that night the travellers became in
separable friends.

One Test in Buying a Horse.

When examining horse with vew
to purchasing, always have him led down
steep or stony descent at the end of a
halter and with no whip near him. Many
horses when brought out of the stable
are excited by the presence of strangers,
and become still more so at sight of a
whip. A slight lameness may therefore
be momentarily overlooked by the horse
himself, just as man, under strong ex-
citement, will sometimes forget sore
foot. Leading the horse down slope
will show any defect in his forequarters,
and running him back will develop any
weakness that may exist in his hind legs.
Horse sharpers know these facts as well
as anybody, so if the horse is in the least
affected, they will generally avoid hill
when showing off horse to probable
purchaser. Isl. Louis Globe Democrat.

Sewing Aches.

Jessie sat down by her mother to
sew. She was making a pillow-case
for her own little pillow.

tented tone, holding the seam out.
"That is not too much for little
girl who has work-basket of her
own" said her mother.

she took few stitches quite dill

said Jessie, in few minutes. "My
thumb is very sore," she said in a few
minutes more. ooh, my hand is so
tired!" was the next. Next there was
something the matter with her foot
and then with her eyes, and so she
was full Of trouble. At length the
sewing was done. Jessie brought it
to her mother.
SHOULD I not first send for doc
tor?" said her mother.
"The doctor for me, mother?" cried
the little girl, as surprised as she
could be.
Certainly. A little girl so full of
pains and aches must be i'll, and the
sooner we have the doctor the better.
"Oh, mother" said Jessie, laugh
