The RenI nnrId Crocl,ett.

Mrs. Ibbie Gordon of Clarrsville,
Tex, vino was born in 1905, was once
introduced to David Crockett. Describ-
ing the incident, she says: 1T was in
the winter of 1884, not long after
Crockett had been defeated for congress
in Tennessee. We heard that Crockett
had crossed Red river and fearing that
he might not come through GAINESVILLE,
but keep on the old Trammell trail, we
intended to meet him. Jane Latimer,
then a girl of IS, rode behind me, and
Betsy Latimer followed on pony. We
overlook Crockett and his party at the
house of Edward Deem, about four miles
from GAINESVILLE 1t was early in the
morning, and when Mrs. Deem saw us
she said, Mrs. Clark, what in the name
of God brings you here at this time of
the day?' Ny horse brought me, l
answered, and then l told her l wanted
some breakfast. We went into the
house, and a friend, who had known
Crockett in Tennessee, introduced us.
Crockett was dressed like a gentleman
and not as a backwoodsman. He did
not wear a coonskin cap. 1t has always
Disguised me to read these accounts of
Crockett that characterize him as an
ignorant backwoodsman. Neither in
dress, conversation nor bearing could
he have created the impression that he
was ignorant or uncouth. He was a
man of wide practical information and
was dignifed and entertaining. His
language was about as good as any we
hear nowadays. "-Galveston News.

"Legal Tender.n

In October last the Central bank, Ant
werp, notified Messrs. T-& Co., import
ers of wheat, that henceforth only 900
francs worth of franc pieces would be
received at a single payment. This init
nation enraged the eXcitable head of the
firm to such a degree that he at once con-
suited lawyer who told him that in the
eyes of the law the bank was not entitled
to impose any such restriction, whereupon
the head of the firm stated in reply to the
ukase of the bank that in future all their
payments should be effected in franc
pieces. And he kept his word Every
time he had to pay money into the bank
he bought up all the franc pieces he could
collect from the other banks and forward
ed them to the Bank Centrale. A few
weeks ago he paid in the sum of go, 900
francs, which had to be conveyed on a
wagon hired for the purpose and which
took a couple of tellers ever so long to
count.-Etoile Beige.

Seeding.

Scolding is mostly habit. 1t is of
ten the result of nervousness and an
irritable condition of both mind and
body. A person is tried or annoyed at
some trivial cause and forthwith COM
mences finding fault with everything
and everybody within reach. Scolding
is habit very easily formed. 1t is as
tonishing how soon one becomes addict
ed to it and confirmed in it. 1t is an
unreasoning and unreasonable habit.
Persons who once get into the way of
scolding always find something to scold
about. If there is nothing else, they
begin scolding at the mere absence of
anything to scold at. 1t is an extreme
ly disagreeable habit. 1t is contagious.
Once introduced into a family, it is
pretty certain in short time to affect
all the members. -Exchange.

citizens in the United States. He was
repeatedly solicited to accept public Of

pride in the Public Ledger, one of the

nothing. He was widely known from his
public and private benefactions, and he
was among Americas most illustrious
philanthropists

Medical writer's claim that the

Medical writer's claim that the sue
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must be
non-irritating, easy of application, and
one that reach the remote sores and Ill
cerated surfaces. The history of the eff
forts to treat catarrh is proof positive
that only one remedy has completely
met these conditions, and that is Ely's
Balm. This safe and pleasant remedy
has mastered catarrh as nothing else has
ever done, and both physicians and pa
tients freely concede this fact. Our

RIVERSIDE WANTS BOAT.

Two petitions have been forwarded to
Daniel j. Seymour by the residents of
Riverside to have him run the steamer
Wave during the remainder of the fall and
winter months. The Riversiders gathered
in groups last evening and talked over the
the situation, and the subject of who
owned the pier at that resort was brought
up. The citizens claimed that they had
Clipped in and bought it from the old
Shore transportation Company and that
that company did not have the
power to sell il TO the Continental
Company. Another resident who has a
taste for history says that when the dock
of the Continental Steamboat Company
was built in this city that the Board OF
Aldermen aud Council said that it should
be public dock, and now the old records
OF the city are to be looked up for evil
dence. The Continetal Company came in
for good share of condemnation, as it has
every fall, for a number of years.
