A little girl, of one of our prominent
citizens, was taken into Jos. B. Hunn's
barber shop last week to have her hair
cut, probably for the first time. It was
rather strange sight for her to witness
the scraping razor aud dobbing brush.
So when she went home and inquiry
was made as to who cut her hair, she
remarked "Mr. Hum did it, but that
other man had somebody in a chair
with no hair on his head and he was
painting his nose"

to raise them, there would have been

MY BOY.
BY REV. l.. C. MARVIN

How could tread that hallowed plain
Where God and Christ and Angels are,
Or how could Heaven to M be gain,
Unless the lad we're with me there?
If not. in death would have stayed
Within the shroud which dead men wear;
Or living, seek the Willows shade,
Anc hang my harp forever there.
OF what avail the vlctor's crown,
Or the bright robes which angels wear.
Unless the lad be all my own,
With me the bliss of Heaven to share?
How could 1 join that wondrous throng,
Mid FURNISHED crowns, and burning thrones
And know his voice shall but prolong
Hell's dOlorous. deep a1d dreadful groans?
AS Cog and Magog warred of old.
And from the place in wrath were driven;
So would storm its mightiest h. Id.
And wars loud clarit blow In heaven.
I'd join some rebel angel throng.
And power omnipotent defy;
The shout of war should be my song,
To sound rebellion through the sky.
I'd tear that robe in every fold,
And count the rag as worthless clay;
I'd scorn the brightest crown of gold
And throw the paltry thing away.
Far down through space where Satan fell,
On-strong immortal wings I'd fly,
And share the deepest darkest he'll,
Or bring the lad with me on hi h.
Yes; dearest boy, thy every woe,
On earth tits given me to share;
May God no other world bestow.
Unless that boon be granted there.
Such my request. Let Heaven record,
And angels the bright record keep.
And God to me naught else afford,
Save worms and shrouds, and deaths cold
sleep.

sMELLED THE BATTLE AFFAIR
And the Old Fire House had to go
Quickly as of Yore.

quickly as OF Yore.
An alarm of fire was turned In
Saturday night on account of an
awning of a window in the front OF
the Gallagher building, 1. & G.. N.
passenger headquarters, having
caught fire from a Roman candle
ball, during the Noonan torchlight
procession. The firemen responded
promptly and the blaze was not
allowed to spread.
Chief Kehoe, in going to the
fire narrowly missed running
over man at the crossing
corner Flores and Commerce
streets, and shortly after two
ladies and a boy in a buggy were
seen flying after the chiefs buggy,
behind powerful horse which
seemed to be running away. The
horse followed all the turnings of
the chiefs buggy, and collided
with no one. The ladies were power.
less to control him and laid back
almost paralyzed with fright. When
the chief arrived at the fire, the
horse following proudly drew up
just behind him, and then some
gentlemen gave the ladies assist
ance. 1t was found afterward the
horse had formerly served in the
fire department.

1t would surprise no one to see a
readjustment of the old party lines,
either this coming election or the
one that will follow in 1898. The
old Issues are dead and Democrats
are revising and reversing their
opinions on tariff so radically and
rapidly that the old divisional
lines will no longer avail to really
divide. An American party in the
best sense Of that oft employed
term is in order. A party commit
ted to the interests OF this nation
regardless of the effects that it's
policy will have on the interests Of
foreign governments or peoples. A
party committed to a policy that
will restrict immigration to the
supply of the healthful conditions
of labor and in every way devise
for the building up OF American
production at home and the crea-
ton OF a greater home market for
that which is thus produced. 1t is
along the lines of such policy
that the country will range itself in
almost unbroken strength within
the next few years and it would be
political wisdom and sagacious to
take these facts into account and
act accordingly.

The Nation having pronounced
with almost unanimous voice
against the free trade heresy and
in favor OF the protection and TO IS
tering Of home industries, it is p er
tinent for this city as the great
commercial metropolis of this
southwest to take steps to organize
and put on foot such creative in
dustries as are native to this Sec
ton, thus building up a home
market for labor and the increase
of the farms that are being opened
in this region. Talk will not avail
to accomplish this result. 1t will
take good organization, wise calcu-
lation, instructed judgment and a
wisdom of experience to deal with
this question successfully. That it
can be so dealt with is certain, and
it is equally certain that if proper
ly undertaken the result will be Of
the greatest possible benefit to
Southwest Texas. There is no valid
reason why the producers of this
section should pay the freight to
the east as producers and then pay
it back again as consumers, when
by manufacturing their own pro-
duction into marketable goods they
could save this double tax upon
their industries and at the same
time create a market for farm pro-
ducts at their own doors. There is
pertinence in the old enquiry,
"who pays the freight" Texas has
been paying it for altogether too
many years to the detrlment Of all
her industries and her increased
wealth.
