ana Daisy coaxed her into the play
room to take part in dolls wedding.
Daisy had seven dolls. and they were
all dressed in their best, with SCI APPS
and ribbon fastened to their garments
by means Of big pins Mother had
provided feast-plums and nuts,
couple OF pears and tiny iced cake
to Serve as a wedding cake
(which of them is going to be mar

of waxen beauties.
My dear Queen Dorofea. Don't
you see her boo'ful veil? And look at
her crown" lisped Daisy.
Gwen started, and looked more
closely at the doll-bride Queen Dor
othea certainly wore a veil-a piece
OF white muslin, descending to the
hem of her pink gown; and, fastened
to her fiaxen hair, was the crown-a
silver crescent brooch. studded with
gold stars
Where did you get this?" demanded
Gwen, removing the ornament with
out regard to her majesty's feelings.
II fnded it, said Daisy, opening

floor downstairs one day, long time
ago-'bout twenty monfs. or else a

1T is my brooch that Uncle Ben
gave me-" said Gwen, decidedly.
Daisy broke into such piteous wall
that mother came running upstairs to
find her pet sobbing out that Queen
Dorofea had lost her crown, and
couldn't be mawwied now-not never.
Daisy was soon consoled with a
crown cut out of gilt paper, and Gwen
regained her lost treasure. She was
very sorry and ashamed of her be-
havior toward Susie, and asked her
pardon on Monday morning before all
her companions no easy task for
proud Gwen.
And when Susie's birthday came she
was presented with a pretty silver
brooch by Gwen, who had bought it
with the money she had been saving
since the day Queen Dorothea lost her
crown.

graphs say that pictures of promin-

nowadays. They are seen SO often
in the illustrated papers that photo
graphs no longer go. The actresses
and fashionable women, of all social
grades, are eagerly bought, not by
their admirers among men mainly,
but by dressmakers of the second
class in Paris and the provinces.
The latter buys the photographs to
study the patterns.

REV. SAM JONES COMING !

Rev. Sam Jones, the great Geor-
gia orator, evangelist and lecturer
will make his first appearance in
Texarakna, in Ghio's opera house,
on Tuedsay evening April 9th, in
his highly humorous and instructive
lecture, "Get There and Stay
There" In commenting upon his
appearance at Charleston S. c.,
the News and Courier says of HIM
"Sam Jones scored a success last
night. He got there in great shape
and in every sense of the word.
Samuel is a little above the average
height for a man; is slender in fig
ure, has square face relieved by a
black mustache and surmounted by
coal black hair. He is fairly good
looking, has a rich, full voice to
which the broad southern accent
adds charm, is perfectly self-pos-
sessed, and fluent to a remarkable
degree. His great charm is his
rollicldng good nature and bound.

from statements which in cold type
look and are harsh, He kept audi

the preachers and deacons the

THE RED TAPE SYSTEM,

Probably no other measure, ex-
cept that of tariff reform, will be
debated longer or more earnestly
during the present session of Con
gress than the bill now pending to
organize the accounting system in
the treasury department. The bill
is radical in other changes it pro-
poses, and it will meet with great
opposition, 1t has, however, the
approval of all the members of the
commission, which consists of three
Senators and three Representa-
tives. 1t is probable that when
the bill is considered, the work of
experts who arranged the details
will be subjected to severe criticism.
In view of this the antecedents of
the experts becomes a matter OF
interest. One of them, j, w, Rein
hart, has been president Of the San
ia Fe system of railroads, and is
now a receiver of that corporation.
G. w. Haskins has been connected
with several important business
concerns, He is now receiver Of
two southern roads and auditor of
two large corporations in New
York. E. w. Sells has been auditor
of two or three western railroads,
and is an experienced business man,
The commission will claim, if these
experts are attacked, that they had
no personal interest in the work
and aimed solely to secure and get
a simple and less expensive method
of accounting in the treasury and
do away with a great deal of cum
bersome machinery and government
tai red tape,

CORRECT DIAGNOSIS.
A Political Deciple of EsCulapius
Discovers a Cancer on the
Body Polite"
der.

That a malignant, and apparent
ly fatal, disease has fastened its
deadly folds about the body polite
of the United States, is only too
clearly apparent, but it has re-
manned for a modern deciple of
Esculapius, of the political school,
to discover the exact nature of the
disease and, after diagnosing the
case, prescribe remedy therefor
His opinion OF the case, given in his
own words, is as follows:
Our Democratic doctors in Con
gress have found a large tumor
growing upon the body polite. It's
etiology, or cause, has been found
in a law passed by the Republicans,
called the Mckinley bill They have
found that this tumor was not a
benignant tumor, as diagnosed by
the Republican doctors, but a ma
lignant one, and that it was making
serious inroads on the constitution
of the body polite. The result of
the consultation of the Democratic
doctors is that it is highly malig-
nant and must be removed, but the
question is, what sort of an opera
tion shall be performed, and what
shall be the technique and toilet,
what disinfectants shall be used to
prevent the contagion from spread
ing to the doctors who propose to
operate? They are now discussing
these preliminary questions.
One mode of operation is proposed
by one set, and another by another.
The first proposes to excise the tu-
NOR, and get rid Of it at once, re-
gardless of the fatal consequences
that might occur. These might be
termed wreckless by some, but if
the body polite did not die under
the operation, it would be declared
an eminent success, and they would
90 forth with all the eclat that be
longs to bold, successful procedures.
The others say that as it is a malig-
nant tumor and has run through all
the veins Of commerce, it must be
removed by strangulation "liga-
zion" and let it drop off, and while
| it is separating from the body poll
tic, put the general constitution in
order, by sending the life-giving
principal to the poor, and building
up strong bone, muscles and man
hood.
DR., Hill, through his microscope,
has found that on this large tumor
small one is attached, "income
tax, is nothing but a bundle Of
cat-gut ligatures which they pro-
pose to ligate the commercial arter-
les with The writer cannot decide
the question, as he is not = political
doctor, but from the history of the
case, derived from the people,
would advise that one of the opera
tions should be performed without
further delay, as it is costing the
country too much to keep the pa
tient longer in Washington city.

That there are far too many men

FINANCE COMMITTEE VACANCY
Who Will Be Selected to Fill the
Place Made Vacant By the
Death of Vance?

Washington dispatches announce
that there is more or less specula-
tion in Senatorial circles as to the
probable successor of the late SEN
ator Vance on the Senate finance
committee. Expressions of opinion
from a number of prominent Sena-
tors develops the fact that a ma
iority of them believe that the
choice will tall upon Senator Mills of
Texas. He is especially eligible be-
cause of the attention he has given
for years to financial questions, and
the fact that he was chosen for this
post temporarily in the absence of
Senator Mcpherson during the pre-
paration of the tariff bill now be-
sore the Senate, would seem to put
him in line for the permanent mem
bership at this time. 1t is possible
that Senator Mills claims may be
contested by the northern and
eastern Senators, who, as is known,
have not been entirely satisfied to
have sa large a preponderance of
southern and western men on the
committee as is now the case, If
they should make a successful effort
to secure the appointment the
choice would probably fall upon
Senator Hill or Senator Villas. Sen
ator Brice's name has been men
toned in this connection, but ow-
ing to the fact that Ohio already
has in Senator Sherman a member
of the committee, it is considered
improbable that he would be Sc
lecteG. There is also a possibility
that the far West may ask for men,
berseip on the committee, and Sen
ator White of California has been
mentioned as a possibility. Friends
of Senator Mills call attention to
the fact that Mr., Vance was
southern man, and contend that it
is but proper that he should be sue
ceeded by a Senator from the same
section. It is possible that Mr..
Mills may not desire the appoint
ment. There is little doubt that
Senator Gray, who stood next to
Senator Vance on the committee on
privileges and election, will surren-
der his craftsmanship of the com
mittee on patents to accept that
of privileges and elections,
