The Best Love Affair.

OF all the love affairs in the world,
none can surpass the true love OF a big
boy for his mother. II il pure and no
bic and honorable in the highest degree
TO both. We do not mean mere duti-
ful affection. We mean love that
makes a boy gallantand courteous to his
mother, saying to everybody plainly
that he is in love with her. Next to
the love of husband, nothing crowns
woman's life with such honor and
happiness as this. We never yet knew
a boy to turn out hopelessly bad who
began by being in love with bis mother.
Any man may fall I'm love with fresh
faced girl, and the man who is gallant
TO the girl may cruelty neglect his worn
and weary wife. But the boy who is a
lover of his mother in her middle age,
Is true knight who will love his wife
as much in her sere-leaved autumn rs
be did in the daisied spring-time.-

For the past twenty years the
Republican party in the state of
Texas has been steadily degenerat-
ing. Instead Of keeping pace with
the growth of the state and max
ing itself felt is both state and ma
tional affairs it has not even held
its own and is today relatively
weaker than at any time since the
reconstruction period. This fact is
undeniable. The population of the
state is almost double what it was
when vote of over 10000 was
polled for James G. Blaine and
there is no prospect of duplicating
that vote today in any election
that the party can hold. There are
reasons for this condition of affairs,
and they lie within, not without,
the lines Of the Republican party
itself. That this is true is evident.
when the almost general disaffec-
ton of the Democratic masses with
the policy and procedures of their
leaders is taken into consideration.
There is today more widespread
revolt against the incompetency of
the Democratic party than has
ever been noted in its ranks. The
leaders are powerless to hold the
voters Of the party to their allie
glance, and yet despite all this and
the wonderful increase in popula-
ton here in Texas, the Texas Re.
publicans can not poll as strong a
vote as they did ten years ago. 1t
is time for the wisdom of the
party to enquire into the causes
of this detection from the ranks
OF the party and arrive at
some understanding OF the ef-
fcient causes, one thing is
as clear as daylight and
that an sentirely new departure
must be taken by 1.-THE party in
Texas, one that will bring the par
ty itself into such condition as to
commend the support of the thou,
sands who today are in revolt
against the Democratic policies
No matter what the action, so long
as it is an entire reversal OF the
methods Of the past. 1t is self evi

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. Emil Tschirhart, a barber of
this city, while out hunting a few
days since, near the head of the
river, suddenly came upon a large
rattler. He was astride the reptile
before he discovered his dangerous
position. Making one good jump
he landed few feet distant, point
ed his gun and fired, whereupon
the dog, supposing Mr.. Tschirhart
had killed bird, leaped upon the
snake but was not bitten, as the
shot was fatal. The reptile had
ten buttons and was an old-timer.

dent that the old way is self de-
structive. Then in the name OF
all that is Of worth in the party
take something new. 1t cannot be
worse than tho present way, for
that is the way of death. The first
thing to be decided upon in trying
to alter the present conditions Is
to demand in the management OF
the party in the state an entire
change. Retire every man who
has been in the lead during the
past twenty years to the rear and
put tbs party in the hands of new
men. Take no tent of so-calle d
party services, look closely to the
work of these past twenty years
and take the same men who in the
name Of party have been serving
self and bundle them neck and
heels out Of the leadership. 1t is
very easy to see who and where
the disturbing element is. Exam
inc the pie counter, and the chief
seats in the synagogue and see
who throngs around the one and
who sits in the other. Certain it
is that the party has gone to the
bad while these men were running
affairs, and this being without
controversy the case it
is the part OF wisdom to
replace these men with others.

case In these days of college educa-
tion-were schoolmates of the
bride it is a very tactful thing to
combine the class flower with the
favorite blossom of the bride in the
floral decorations, especially those
used for the table. AS far as pos
sible, the young housewife should
aim at absolute purity in her table
furnishings, and avoid the vulgar
use of 'colored silk, satin or I'M
washable lace. No matter what
many fashion notes have to say
about the use of ribbon bows and
streamers lodging in and out Of
ropes of smilax, the most dainty
tables are covered with cloths OF
heavy white damask and dollies
of linen embroidered in white.
