AT q Dutch Window,

You lmpatieutly scale six or seven
square inches of ice from the window
of the room which looks . O the
street and seek diversion in the out,
er scenes. The houses of trim red
and yellow brick, with their staircase
gables, cloaked precisely in nice
white snow, upon which the pallid
gold of the January sunlight shines
mildly, are pretty enough to behold.
quite likely, too, as you peer forth
you meet the eyes of a chubby, sym
pathetic Dutch maiden or full blown
%cltlzeness in her room opposite.
The lady, you perceive, has a re-
treat as snug and congenial as can be.
The tall forms of %subtroplcal plants
flank her at the Misunderstanding
indications that the temperature of
her room is very agreeable. She has
also a subtle arrangement of mirrors
outside the window, SO that sitting by
the double panes she can see a great
deal of what happens in the street
both ways.
No wonder the dear soul is able to
meet your gaze with an expression of
serene self satisfaction that is never
unbecoming, and which in your sit
uation enhances to you such beauty as
she may possess. - All the Year

MarDlehead, that curious Massa,
chr@~tts fishing town, which has fg.
ured SO sturdily in every war in New
England's history, is famous for the
rough dialect, quaint expressions and

Der, said 4 commercial Traveller,
my perusal Of the Boston paper was
interrupted the first evening by Il;
tremendous blowing of horns and
beating of drums and tin pans in the
street. Looking out of the window,
l saw a long line of boys and girls
marching down the street in double
file, carrying torches. Their faces
we're blackened; they we're clad in
long, white gowns, and as they shout
ell and performed antics the towns
people, who had turned out to view
the procession, applauded the specta-
Gle. This strange procession paraded
up and down through the town until
bedtime. All the while huge bon
fires, a part Of the celebration, were
blazing down near the waters edge.
Upon inquiring as to the meaning
of this weird spectacle, | learned that
the children were carrying out their
annual custom of celebrating what
is known to them as 'Popes Night
1t Is doubtful if any Of them ever
heard of Guy Fawkes or the gunpow
der plot, but they know that the
evening Of Nov. 5 is a legitimate
time for them to indulge in all sorts
Of mischief. The town was settled
l u 1929, just ~ years after the expo
sure of Guy Fawkes' conspiracy, by
people from the islands of Jersey and
Guernsey and from the west Of Eng
land. The first corners undoubtedly
brought thisquaint celebration across
the Atlantic to their new home, and
It has survived to be observed today,
more than $50 years after the found
ing Of the town.'-New York Sun.

Certainly it is not unconstitutional to
establish state banks without the

state banks are permitted to buy

article in The Arena, appealing for

Times OF the condition of the people
of England just prior to tho repeal of
the corn laws Mr., Flower says in the
early forties the condition of the
wealth producers of England accord~

as the condition of our indus

hopeless that their very mentality

among the industrial masses. The
people were rapidly coming to the
point when they longed for the match
of bloody revolution to be lighted.

Imprisonment added greatly to the

POLITICS AT GEORGETOWN.

Lieutenant Governor Crane and John D.
Mccall Address Large Audience.
GEORGETOWN, Tex, June s. Lieu
tedant Governor Crane, candidate. for
attorney general, addressed a good
sized audience in the court house to-
day. He was introduced by Judge
D. s. Chessher in a few appropriate
words. Mr.. Crane stated that he is
very hopeful of election.
His speech was very interesting
throughout, and scarcely man left
the room during it's progress.
The Populists were criticised, sOme-
times earnestly, sometimes humor-
ously, but never Extensively, He re-.
CARDS their theories as socialistic and
revolutionary and young men were
especially warned against being mis-
led into their fallacies. If he had to
face either alternative, although it
would be bitter pill, he would cast
his vote for Republicanism rather
than in favor of POpulism.
He had little to say against the Re-

garded them as the most harmless
people in this state. Pops, he said,
are harmless too, but they think
themselves power in the land and
are making so much fuss about it.
Mr.. Crane mentioned the fact
that next week he is to meet
Cyclone Davis in joint debate
at Taylor and champion Democra.
cy in the contest. He hopes the
people will remember that and treat
him well in the primaries here tomor-
row.
Mr.. Crane was frequently cheered.
His opponent, r, l.. Henry, was q
former student of Southwestern Uni.
versity at this place and has many
personal friends. Mr.. Crane has
friends and won more by his presence
here and his speech.
AS Mr.. Crane closed his speech
Hon. JnO. D. Mccall, candidate for
governor, entered the room. He was
called to the front and introduced by
Mr.. Crane. He made brief talk, re.
viewing the financial condition of the
state, and promising if elected COVER
nor to manage the states affairs in q
businesslike manner. He is making
his race upon his record. He was re-
ceived with applause.

An Assassination.

BRANDENBURG, Ky, June S.-A
tragedy occurred just across the river
from here about 1890 last night.
Frank Richards and Charles Neely
were returning home, after having
escorted Misses Birdie and Laura Lott
from church to their home. When
one and half miles from Lockport.
Ind they were fired upon by 8 per-
ser or persons in ambush. The first
shot went through the top of NeeIy's
hat. The second bullet struck Rich
ards in the neck behind the ear, lodg-
ing III the base of the brain, inficting
a fatal wound. Much excitement nren
walls in the neighbOrhood az both
young men belong to excellent fan1i-
lies. There is no well founded clew
as to the perpetrators of the crime.
The scene Of the tragedy is near the
place where the famous Conrad White
cap tragedy occurred last August.
