Texas:
Our August record 100000. We
think this is little extra, especially
when we learn that some Of our most
prominent and popular companies
which have had only smooth sailing
fell 80 per cent short in August. C..
Eisenmeyer Of Galveston made the
best write up as district manager.
John O'Neil Of Port Lavaca merits
the praise for the best personal bus
mess, having written $4,000, which
entities him to the premium for the
month. Gentlemen, one and all Of
you, you certainly have my warmest
congratulations and the congratufa-
lions of our officers for yotir courage
and most excellent work. Our enc
mics, through jealousy, fear and self
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, have been busily
engaged in giving US all the dirt
possible. We will have to allow
them to throw some mud, as this is
their only weapon. 1t is only neces-
sary for rs to use cold and official
facts, which is far better. They have
resorted to all kinds of unfair tactics
yet there efforts have been in vain,
as il usual when such unfair means
is resorted to break down justice and
honesty. While our country is flood
en- with cheap-John literature (such
stuff as c. G. HageTs, Jr., and others
Of his kind are peddling among our
agents for livelihood,) yet in all
this stuff you do not find one single
official document or one that they
are willing even for you to see.
1 am proud to note that our people
are becoming educated to the fact
that that company Of that agent who
will resort to this mode Of business
is either representing something that
will not sell on its merits or that
they are not doing an honest and q
legitimate business. The st. Louis

and Julia Garnet had not yet gained her
hearts desire. Although Harry Noble
went often, and only seemed to care to be
with her, still he had never told her he
loved her, or asked her to be his wife.
Why! Because his heart was still true
to his love for Dora; and the falsty Of his
suspicious was proved by her rejection OF
many Others who offered her their love.
Once more he went to her and asked:

soul-lit deep gray eyes, the clear, smooth
brow so full and broad formed; such a
striking contrast to the dark one beside it,
whose every feature was so sharp and hard
no softening line about the compressed lips,
to bring one thought of hope to the poor
girls heart. She knew she was doomed,
and said:
"'Tis useless to tell you more Of my

Tying on her bonnet, with a calmness
that would have been more touching to a
heart that could feel, than the distress and
tears Of a short time before, Dora Warner
left the store.
An hour after, pleasant boyish voice
called out:
"Dora, where are you? Have you got

The little room was not cheerful as unual
on his return; the lamp not lit, the fire not
burning brightly in the CRATE, everything
everything so cold and dark, and she, the
life and light that used to welcome his
coming, sat with bowed head on the little
lounge, her bonnet and cloak still on.
Thinking che was tired, and had been
late getting home, Willie began to stir
around, to make things more comfortable.
His heart was so filled with gratitude to
his sister for saving him, he did not think
OF the disappointment in not finding the
nice supper waiting his coming.

who, in moment after, opened her eyes,
looked inquiringly an instant into his, and
whispered:

A pleasant little smile was on the doc
tors face, when he said to himself: "Ye..

weeks
Willie came in and pressed his lips to
hers so pale and thin. And then gradually
the truth was given to her. Beside the
suffering Julia she had stayed, despite all
the entreaties and commands Of her brother
and the doctor. And when the fearful
crisis had passed, the noble girls strength
failed, and she too was stricken with the
same fearful fever. Long days and nights
Willie and the nurse watched beside her
couch, and Julia Garnet feebly lowering
near, praying-for she could pray then
that the noble suffering girl might live.
