The city ought to he In Holiday AD-
penrance ut Tint Time.

Editor Gazette:
There ia a very important matter
which we should not lose sight OF while
considering the semi-centennIal expo
sitlon for 1896 on that occasion we
want the city to look Its very best. To
beautify the city should be the duty Of
every citizen owning property. No
city I'm the state has more beautiful
streets than are the streets OF the city
OF Fort Worth. They are praised by
every visitor, and they are the pride Of
every one OF our citizens. But not n
visitor to our city within my knowl-
edge but who has severely criticised
our walks. There is not day but
that we see people walking In the mid
die OF the streets TO escape the rough
gravel walks, and to compel our visit
ors to walk in the middle OF the streets
would. TO say the least, be an unique
feature of the exposition, not at all in
harmony with its elaborate prepara-
lions. Gravel walks may do very well
for country town. but not for beauti-
full Fort Worth while we are entertain
ing our numerous friends who VIII then
visit us. Very little heretofore has
been said or done in the matter OF
sidewalks, and this seems an opportune
time 10 put into action move that
viii not only beautlfy the city. but
enhance the intrinsic value OF the real
ty thus improved ten times the cost OF
such improvements. In large contracts
a first.ciass cement walk four feet wide
and fifty feet lineal measure should
not cost TO exceed SIS TO $50 for each
fifty foot lot. Now, II seems TO me
that tho success and purposes OF the
semi Centennial exposition can not be
complete without this very important
Improvement Let the ladies' OF Fort
Worth interest themselves In this much
needed Improvement. A.A.L,

largc enough to admit the end of a lead
pencil, otherwise it would have been
noticeable from the floor of the room
but quite large enough to permit the
passage OF weapon of sufficient cali

victims brains.
Stacey felt that species of elation
which comes to the mathematician who
sees ahead of him the end of a difficult
problem in calculus.
He carefully lifted the heavy picture
from its fastenings. In the wall where
1t had hung was an orifice about the
size OF silver dime, cut very smoothly
and neatly through the maroon-colored
paper and the plaster. And the wall
sounded hollow when Stacey tapped it
with his came. Carefully replacing the
picture, he rang again, had the step
ladder removed. then, calling the stew
ard, demanded to be shown into the
apartment adjoining the maroon-pa-
pered room.
This proved to be a meagrely fur
nished place, fitted with plain bed

at the club house all night. Left alone,
Stacey locked the door upon the in
side.
In the wall at the end of the apart
ment next to the maroon-papered room
was a narrow closet reaching nearly to
the ceiling, which, as the detective ex-
pected, was fastened. Rather than
further divulge what he was doing by
making another call upon the servants
he cleverly forced the lock. In the top
of the closet was a board shelf. BY
sounding with his cane Stacey quickly
located hollow in the wall above one
end of this shelf, and by the light Of
a wax vesta he found that piece Of
thin board. painted white, had been
rather roughly fitted into an aperture
about six inches square cut through the
plaster Upon removing this there was
revealed an opening OF the same size

IT WAS A SURPRISE.
From the Chicago Times.


Two sweet young things met in street
car. They hadn't seen each other Tor
ages" and they had to retail the ages
accumulation of news.
"Oh, do you know" said the one in
brown. that Harry Filters is to marry
Blanche Hilton?"
~ hadn't heard Of it." said the one in
gray. "Tell me about it."
well, I've heard it from several sources
and must say that don't think Blanche
is to be congratulated"
"Why not?"
"Why, don't you know what a wretched
fiirt Mr.. Filters is?''
The one in gray shook her head.
"Well. it is so. And that isn't the worst
of it."
what else?"
Hes awfully fast"
"Really?"
"Yes, everybody knows 1t. Goes with
the rapldest men in the city. CANDLES,
bets on horse races, drinks.
"Oh, surely not?"
"Fact. Drinks like a fish. Was carried
home in a very mellow state one night
last week."
"Oh, it's true. They say Blanche won't
believe 1t either. Aren't you sorry for
her?'
mo"
"Well, perhaps she doesn't deserve any
sympathy for marrying such a fellow. l
don't sympathize much with her myself.
"I don't believe she is going to be mar
ried to him." said the one in gray.
Don't you? Why?"
Because / am to be married to him my
self next month. This is my corner. Good
by"
And the sweet young thing in gray
stepped off the car, leaving the sweet
young thing in brown gazing after her
in wide-eyed amazement.

Shortly before o'clock on the morn

men sat playing whist in an upper
room of one of the best-known clubs of
New York.

"Laroue and Narbon were members
of notorious revolutionary society Of
Montmartre known as Les Couteaux

SPRINGS RETURN.

In spring, when the green gifts back In the
trees,
And the sun comes out and stays,
And yer boots pulls on with a good tight
squeeze,
And you think Of yer barefoot days;
When you ort to work and you want to not,
And you and yer wife agrees
It's time to spade up the garden lot
When the green gifts back in the trees
Well work Is the least O. my idees
When the green. you know. gifts back
in the trees!
When the green gifts back in the trees, and
bees
Is a-buzzn' aroun' agin,
In that kind Of a lazy "go-as-you-please"
Old gait they bum roun' In
When the groun's all bald where the hay
rick stood,
And the crick's riz, and the breeze
Coaxes the bloom in the old dogwood,
And the green gifts back In the trees.
1 like, as I say, in sich scenes as these,
The time when the green gifts back In
the trees!
When the whole tail-feathers o winter
time
Is all pulled out and gone!
And the sap 1t thaws and begins to climp,
And the sweat 1t starts out on
A feller's forrerd. a-gittin down
At the old spring on his knees
/ kind o. like jes' a-loaferin' roun'
When the green gifts back in the trees
Jes' a-potterin' roun' as I-durn-pleas-
When the green, you know, gifts back
in the trees!
