to the people of Texas on the politi-

that he will stump the state soon in

ing the position that the silver

to prove successful. The poor,

ton is not party issue, 1t is an i'm.

A PROSE POEM.
The Tragedy of Two Butterflies in the
Far North.

The Tragedy of Two Butterflies in the
Far North
! 1t was spring far up in the north
where happiness and spring are as fleet
ing as the lives of butterflies.
Around q sparkling red rose that had
just unfolded its leaves futtered pair
of butterflies.
AS fire beamed the rose and the but
terdies were filed with fear 4 mystic
power held them fast-narrower, ever
narrower became their circles.
They seated themselves upon the
edge of the rose. Tremblingly their
wings beat--.hey shivered and were
afraid. But the dark red depth allured
them as charm.
The butterflies glided down and the
rose closed its leaves over the pair.
Oh, that blissful eternity which they
dreamed away in the heart of the rose.
Feeble and subdued rosy twilight
pierced the daylight through the closed
leaves. The world was far, far away,
as miles distant breakers of the sea
sounded its noises and doings overhead.
Too much happiness isolated, The
pair Of little butterflies believed they
were alone in the large whole world.
Yes. the people and the earth had per-
ished for them, and only their bright
red rose still glowed in infinite space.
They knew not whether they lived mo-
ments or for eternity.
Eternity-oh!
A cold blast of wind comes that wav
and strips the red rose of its leaves
The shelterless butterflies whirl as
withered leaves through the thick gray
fog. They lose each other-"Farewel
forget me mott"
The request was blown away by the
wind.
Oh, love! Oh, happiness! Universal
showers that live only as long as
flash Of lightning.-From the German.

mule is the meauest and most uncertain
animal that adorns the North American
continent. This opinion is based upon
centuries of observation and expert
ence, and fortified by numberess mod
ern instances; and this sweeping esti-
| mate of the character of an animal
which is as useful as it is depraved is
! one of the few things upon which the
public opinion OF the trans Mississippi
region is practically unanimous.
But of the many mules it has been
my misfortune to know intimately.
a mustang mule, which was face
tiously termed Baby" was without
any exception the very worst. Baby
was born in Sonora, the satanic
offspring of patient and industrious
pack burro of the Santa Margarita
mines, and of disaolute, vicious, un-
dersized, Roman nosad mustang stallion
of neighboring hacienda. We men
ton the Roman ncse of the father as
the possession of that feature in horse
which indicates character depraved
beyon the conception of any but a
western mind
The early youth of Baby was unin-
teresting, and her public career may be
said to date from the nocturnal visit
to Santa Margarita Of band of va
grant Mescalero Apaches, who. latter
burning the town and scalping its pop
ulation, ran of every hoof of live stock
in sight and hurried them over the Ari-
iona line into quiet valley in the
Sierra Nevada.
A government mules existence has
passed into military proverb as type
OF hardship and Indebtedness, but that
life IS one of ease and luxury compared
with the career of an Apache mule
we may, therefore, consider it a happy
day for Baby when her master snapped
her with Don Pedro Baca for hundred
rounds Of Winchester e. ammunition
and that excellent citizen hurried her
OF to Tucson. Here, again, she made a |
StGp upward n the direction of happi-
ness when she passed into the hands of |
Col. Dan Orion, in exchange for forty |
blue chips, redeenable for as MANY |
dollars at the coloners monte bank in
the Chiricahua saloon.
Col Orion knew his neighbors in
Tucson, and, knowing them, was not
the man to keep live stock on his hands
very long; SO, before many days, he
traded Baby to discouraged miner
for hole in the ground entitled Holy
Terror silver mine, which the gallant
colonel believed he could work off on
some contiding eastern capitalist as a

TOLSTOI WILL CONE.
The Great Russian Intends to Visit
the Worlds Fair.
Carried Away by the Grandeur Of tho
Buildings at jackson Park and In the
City of Chicaso-The CAR
owitx' Visit.

There is little doubt that Count Leo
Tolstoi will visit america and the chi
cago worlds fair during the latter part
of the summer.
In an interview at his home the count
spoke of the rr,mors about his visit 10
the United States The report of the
interview is as unique as it is interest
ing. The count WIS sitting in has
library when the interviewer called.
After brief general conversation the
subject of America was mentioned.
Upon this the count took from drawer
a copy of the Szhivopisnoe Obozvenle,
which was the first Russian illustrated
weekly to print the different views OF
the world fair grounds and buildings
Opening this he leaned across the table
and said:
SIS it not grand, beautiful? How
great is the power of man who could
accomplish SO much in so little time!
WHY, it seems almost incredible!
Truly, as wonderful rs this appears on
paper, how much grander, nobler,
must it appear in reality! Have any
desire to see it? Who would not? But
with me it is not merely a matter OF
seeing these wonders. l also wish to
learn"
He then proceeded to enlarge on the
fact that the only salvation for the
Russian mujil1s lies in adopting all the
western methods of working the soil.
Regarding the probability of his visit
ing America he said:
God has seen fit to tighten the bur-
den of Russia this year, although He
has not taken it away altogether.
Happily for US all, so far the epidenics
which threatened US have been battled
with right royalty and the experience
of the people has helped to lessen their
virulence. Furthermore, the condition
OF the crops is not so bad as it was last
year and year before last. On this ac-
count l think that my people will be
able to spare me for three or four
