tho News.
 About l le miles out of a small town in Texas 1 camc t0 house ly the road side with a man sitting on tho fence in front, and stopped to get some inf IT. nation as to lho forks of the road about 800 yards farther along.
 "Jou como from town" ho asked wh, n he had answered my question. "I'Cs.

 "A man on a gray hOrse:"
 He's the one What did ho say to your"
 Nothing, except Good morning. " ''Jou say anything back"
 Nothing, except what he had said to me. Why? Who was he:''
 "Ho was the sheriff. and I thought mebbe he might a had somcthin to say about mo. "
 "Why. what have you been doing:" "Nothin.
 "You don't look like bad man" "I'm too good for the country. Iwish sometimes was wuss. "
 What did the sheriff want with you?'
 "Wanted to arrest me"
 "Why?"
 "I shot at that sneakin, hoss stealth Bill McGco last night"
 But you didn't hit him, for I saw him in town, drunk, just as left. y
 That's what he was goin to arrest me fer. He said it was penetinsherry offense to miss Bill. :"
 That kind of law seemed to me rather funny, in a way, and I laughed.
 II couldn't help it, " he added apolo- getically.. The dern gun was loaded with bird shot, and thought they was buckshot. "
 And why didn't he arrest you?" asked. with considerable curiosity.
 "Oh," he replied, with an earnest desire to be on terms with the official quite apparent in his tones, "the sheriff is a mighty good feller. and when told him had the gun loaded now with slugs and a musket ball he said he'd give me n week longer, and he hoped I wouldn't disapp'int him, fer he had too much respeck fer my fam'l to havc to take the law on me. Jou say Bill was very drunk when you saw him?"
 I assured him that Bill was just about right to be ugly, and he shook my hand gratefully az started away. y.-Detroit Froo Press.

The poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo
lUI SUl ..Every eyes were made for seeing.


 'Every eyes were made for seeing
 Then beauty k it's own excuse for being."
 Beauty of feature and elegance of form have ever been the de-ire of the faminine mind And it is p' rfectly laudable and natural ambition. Women are born to sway the hearts and minds Of men as much by their beauty and attrs sctiveness. as by the subtler charms of goodness and purity.
 And yet. how few women attain the beauty which should be theirs, and Tn those few who are brautiful, how quickly their beauty fades This IS wrong Wo- men are naturally beautiful-at least of pleasing and attractive appearance-and in nearly all the cases where women lack these physical charms the fault is their own
 Good looks and beautiful forms are en- tlrely dependent upon good health. One must have strong nerves and pure blOoi to be brautitul. Filling to have these IS to fail of good looks and fine figure,

MAYOR SRroNG took the country by sur prise Thursday and at the same time took n position that seems to us utterly un- tsnable He believes that the excise law of the state cannot be enforced in the city of New York. particularly as to the Sunday closing of saloons, and therefore when called upon by delegation of representa- tlves of the retail liquor dealers, he ad- vised them to keep their shops open on Sundays from p. m. until II This is absolutely contrary to existing law and the mayor of \ W York has To more rigi t to ignore that law and advise that it be systematically broken than he has to give the same advice regarding the law agains thit wing or murder It would be entirely in order for the mayor to labor to have the law changed but while it is law he is oath bound to do his best 10 execute it. His position has met with violent oppo- sition. and he may be obliged, as he ought to be. to cut the experiment short New Works reform administration needs re- forming.

The Encii.h snIdicr,s Lot.


 Considering the high punishment which the English army regulations contain for such eases, it seems as if the English sol diCr's lot is nut all bliss The food in English regiments iS by no means good, except in eases whGrr the latter is rich and tho colonel takes a special interest in kitchen affairs ThU only advantage which tho English soldier enjoys over his Euro pcan comrades is that he is better clad. Yet at thu same time he does not stand in this respect on an equal footing with the American. The pay an English private receives amounts to p cents per diem, or half a> much as this country pays. From thCSc facts it can hc readily judged that n great number of men who enlist in Euro pcan armies with the intention of making soldering their vocation would certainly prefer tu enter the nitrd States army if they only knew of the advantages offered to them in this country. But let Us briefly pass in review the life that Uncle sam defenders lead in active scrviCC.
