PRETTY GOOD BOYS.
Few Cigarette Smokers in the Abilene
Schools.

Last week a dispatch from Ottawa
gave the following result of careful
census Of the Ottawa school boys as
regards cigarette smoking:
In the Central building 40 per cent
Of the boys were moderate smokers, "a
per cent were habitual users Of cigar
cites. In the Second ward school. 90
per cent were moderate users and 80
per cent habitual smokers. On the
north side 80 per cent smoke at every
opportunity. onc-half Of them or over
10 per cent Of the whole number are
confirmed cigarette licnds. In one
grade every boy had been guilty Of
smoking more or less, and 81 per cent
were habitual users.
Supt. Gray has taken similar cen
sus here. Under promise that no
names be- given and that no punish
mcnt would follow he has secured the
record of every boy in the scho lis
shove Fifth grade. and finds that less
than per cent are habitual cigarette
smokers; 81 per cent smoke occasion
ally, while GG per cent never smoke
cigarettes. 1t is n splendid record
and speaks well for the high standard
OF morals among Abilene boys. Every
effort should he put forth to reduce To
the lowest possible figures, aud it can
he done, to completely eradicate the
vice from the youth Of the city. More
stringent laws with strict enforcement
should be on the statute books 10 stop

A Good One On Caffery.

The n. o. City Item gets off the fol-
lowing rather rough joke on Senator
Don Gallery:
Senator Catfery's claim to popular
confidence reminds one of another
story.
A medical student in New Orleans
had won the confidence of his precep-
tor, especially in obstetrics. He grad
mated with credit and went to his Texas
homo, promising to let his beloved pre-
ceptor hear from him when he made bis
maIk.
Six months later came a telegram al
am called upon to wait upon Mrs. Jones,
the leading lady of the city /; will re-
port progress" A day or two later
another telegram reached the anxious
preceptor in New Orleans:" Too quick
with the forceps; child dead" This
was rather discouragiDg, but the pre-
ceptor still hoped. A few hours after
wards came another missive: "TOo
slow with the chloroform mother dead.
Will wire again" The preceptor placed
this telegram aside, hoping that he
would never hear from his young hope
full either IN time or eternity, when, 10
and behold again the messenger boy
turned up with the following dispatch:

ing COlors F.; saved the old man"
So with Caffery. First he had lost

In Congress at Washington.

A Washington letter to the Picayune
gives some interesting facts concerning
u representatives in Congress. We
copy as follows:
| The most effective work of the con-
| gresham is done in the committees,
and in missionary work among bis
| associates. It is in the committee that
the fate Of q bill is generally decided, as
| in the majority Of cases an adverse re-
port ends the matter, and seldom do
speeches change the result in the house.
Hence the advantage of being On good
committees is very great not only on
account of the opportunity it gives a
member of securing favorable action on
bills relating to his state which may
have been referred to his committee,
him on members of other committees
