Caleb Crimmins was as sweet on Deb

fact among the young folks of Brad
bury, a back-country village of the mid

reputation of being very NEAR" he was
known in number of instances to have
Opened his heart" and his purse
slightly-in demonstration of that fact.
And when Gale Crimmins event down
into his jeans" lin the mellow flow of
the village tongue waggers) it meant
that return might be expected on the
board in short order. That is to say,
folks was expectin' of invite to the
wcddin' fore long"
1t panied Caleb intensely when he
thought of the rapid succession of
birthdays, Christmases and money
taking holidays with which the year
was crowded, and he resolved that but
few of them should elapse before he
had the knot tied hard and fast with
Miss Debby; and then they would go
kinder slow on the gosh blamed
spendin' business" Debby was not at
all eXtravagant in her notions of gift
taking, but she did think it was no more
than right that she should be remem-
bered occasionally with some tangible
demonstration of affection.
Christmas was at hand, and Caleb was
in the throes of a job of guessing what
to get for Debby. "There's so tarnal
much nonsense bout Christmas pres
ents," said he, ''that Teller don't know
what to git" But he held to his estab-
lishcd rule that it should be 'somethin
useful and onextravagant." But what
Dolby needed most, that was the per
picking question.
Caleb was to take Debby to the Christ
mas doin's' at the village church, wher,
there was to be tree for the young
folks, and he thought it would be TIN
proper caper to hang his present on tn
tree with the others, and have it handed
out publicly, to show that he was u
and doing with the rest of them. AM
so it came to pass that among the goo
things hanging on the tree was a scale
envelope marked, "Merry Christmas t
Deborah Dander, from Mr.. Caleb Grim
Minis" This the minister, who offic
ated as distributor, took down, anC
with some sly remarks on its suppose
contents, called upon the young lady t
come forward and receive it.
AS Debby passed up the aisle she wa
accosted on either side by her youn
friends, who eagerly inquired: 'Wha

is il, Debby? Open it and let us see!"
With burning cheeks she took the mys-
terious envelope and returned to her
seat beside the smiling donor, who adj
vised her to open it. This she did and
found within nothing but slip of pa
per with some writing on it. She read
the words, and blushing still more deep
~ crumpled the paper in her hand;
then turning to Caleb in an agitated
manner, she said:
mir. Crimmins, we will go home,
right Off"
Caleb forthwith conducted Debby
to her home, where she babe him a
frigid good night, Mr.. Crimmins,
and left him to sneak off to his own
abode. with a sort of 'wish l hadn't
feeling ranking in his system.
The match was broken off short then
and there, and il was some time before
the why and wherefore were known to
the wondering friends of both. When
the secret did leak out a broad gran

and no wonder. Caleb's Christmas
present to Debby was an order on the

THE NEW DEPOT.
Some Authentic Information That
May lie Relied On.

Yesterday Colonel L. S. Thorne, vice
president and general manager OF the
Texas and Pacific. Treasurer C. Il. Sat
terlee of New York, and Chief Engineer
Il. S. Wathen OF the company were
here. The object of these gentlemen
In returning here was to consult with
Mayor Paddock and others relating
to the site for the new union station.
1t is announced that the Texas and
Pacific people have determined to
abandon the present site of the depot,
and locate the new building entirely
west of all the tracks. on Front street.
somewhere about the vicinity of the
present freight depot.
The plans for the new building, which
is to be modern and elegant one.
have been prepared and adopted, and
the Texas and Pacific people say they
are ready to begin work on the struc-
ture as soon as some necessary con-
cessions are granted by the city council
II Is understood that the concessions
asked for are In the nature of APP
proaches 10 the depot, and are calcu-
lated to interfere with the present d.
menslons of Front street. Mayor Pad
dock thinks the Texas and Pacific peo-
pie are asking Just little too much,
but II is probable the matter will be
brought up and adjusted at the next
meeting OF the city council
OF course. II the location now desir-
ed can not be agreed upon. there will
be change to the most eligible one
that can be agreed upon. and as soon
as the necessary preliminaries can be
arranged work Will Immediately begin,
Treasurer Satterlee remarked yester-
day that his company had fully deter
mined upon building the depot. And
he added. ut will not only be such an
one as Will answer present demands,
but Will anticipate the necessities that
may arise within the next forty years"
such an assurance as that must be
very satisfactory to the people of this
city. as 1t discloses that the new
building Will more than atone for all
the deficiencies OF the past.
NOW, let Colonel Thorne give the
word for the dirt to fly.

per cent OF what II was assumed to be
when the railways made their strcnu-
Gus protest before the commission.
1t is also fair to assume that these
facts will exercise considerable weight
with the commission IN reaching any
conclusions that may be arrived at IN
regard TO the complaints made by Gal
weston.
The situation seems TO be. In a nut
shell, that Galveston has many natural
disadvantages to overcome before be-
coming the equal Of other more favored
ports OF the country. In the language
OF n prominent railway man yesterday,
'rhey run lot OF - scows Into that
port In competition with the fine ves-
sells that enter other ports, and then
have the gall to demand that the rail-
ways equnlize conditions"
10 dislnterested observer It would
appear that Galveston and Houston
have both been pretty well taken care
of in the past. aud II Galveston would
expect to maintain her position as one
of the leading ports OF the country
there must be some effort on the part
of Galveston to equallze conditions and
overcome disadvantages that exist in
Galveston. There is such a thing as
doing other interests an injustice.
