100000 in their pockets. They had made
extensive preparations for entertaining
the crowd. A great building had been
partly constructed The saloons had laid
in extra stocks and everybody who had a
room to let was prepared TO charge big
price for It for a day or two.
When the governor called the legislature
together the Dallas people knew that the
dollars they had been expecting had
slipped away from them, and they were
mad enough TO have run the governor out
of town II he had made his appearance
there at that time. Yet, there isn't one
citizen Of Dallas who doesn't know that
the governor did what was right The
greed for the dollar warped the judgments
of the people and led them to condemn
him for doing his duty. In time, Of course.
the governor will regain his popularity in
Dallas, but it will be a good while before
he becomes the favorite in that town that
he once was.

The Power of the Dollar.

The man who first spoke of the dollar
as the almighty dollar" had very thor
ough knowledge of human nature. For
the sake of the dollar there are but few
things that most men will not do. They
will risk life and sacrifice justice. truth
and honor. They will abandoned their
principles and desert their dearest friends.
We are led to make these remarks by the
reported condition of public opinion in
Dallas. Tex, in respect to Mr.. Culberson.
the governor of that state. Dallas is Mr..
Culberson's home. and until very recently
he was remarkably popular there. For
governor he received nearly all the votes
that were cast in the town. Now. it is
said, he could not be elected to the posi-
ton of street scavenger.
And why has there been so remarkable
a change of sentiment in respect to Gov
Culberson? The reason issthat he pre-
vented a brutal slugging match from TAX
ing place in the town. The Dallas peo-
pect expected that the Corbett-F itzsim-
mons mill would leave from $4,000 to 81

Religion of the Governors.

A Chicago newspaper has been asking
the governors of the states some ques-
lions with regard to their religions and re-
ligious preferences. 1t finds enough to
warrant the assertion that this is eminent
ly religious country. taking
the governors as truly repre-
sentative of their respective con-
stituencies. Twenty-Five of the governors
are professed Christians, members of
churches. and nearly all of the others at
tend religious services regularly or inter-
mittently. There are forty-seven COVER
nors in the United States. forty-four of
states and three of territories. OF this
number only two, the governors of Texas
and South Carolina, decline to express
themselves with regard to religion. They
possibly fear that the religious question
is loaded with political dynamite, and as
both are very young men and ambitious
for further political preferment, they had
rather not express an opinion upon any
question whatsoever until they have as
certained how the majority Of the voters
stand with regard to such question.
In the matter of denominations, there
are more Presbyterians in gubernatorial
| offices than members of any other denom-
nation. 1t is fact also that the Pres
byterians are strong in both houses OF
| congress, and that both the President and
his predecessor are members of that
church. The Presbyterians seem to turn
more to politics than any other church
members.
OF the professed Christian governors
ten are Presbyterians, five are Episcopal
lians, five are Congregationalists, fouI
are Methodists, three are Unitarians, one
is Baptist and one a member of the
Christian church. Sixteen are unconnect.

A Bachelors Lament.

There is one class of individuals whom
despise utterly and irretrievably, says q
writer IN truth. For thirty years l have
been making up my mind TO say why
hate my chambermaid and the follow
ing are some of my reasons:
She sends my fresh pajamas to the
chair for week, where the dust settles
She hangs my dress coat by the middle
of its back on a sharp hook and folds my
trousers just outside the new crease the
tailor has just put in
She takes all my matches for the other
boarders' rooms.
She jambs my trunk up against the wall;
no matter how often l pull it out, so that
the lid will stay open, she yanks it up to
She carefully cherishes for me all the
old patent medicine circulars and old duns,
which L have grown bald trying to get
rid of, and lights the fire with my i'm
portant business letters.
She throws away the only extra collar
BUTTON have and religiously preserves
the broken lead-cap to a rusty trousers
button.
She hides my tobacco. Every day she
finds new place to conceal it.
She places my shoes as far under the
bed as she can. She does this to make
me grovel on the floor and swear.
She places the pillows at the opposite
end of the bed from the gaslightA If she
cannot get the light in an inconvenient
position she moves the bed.
If the thermometer is so degrees below
zero she selects that day to polish the
crate and air the bedding When the
weather is mild as May she has a COW

She uses my bay rum and, suspect, my
toothbrush; she borrows my note paper
and takes my novels before have finished
reading them. She puts the open pary
OF the blankets at the foot of the bed
and have to sleep on the cold sheets:
she accepts all my spare change and a
| great deal can't spare and she makes
my 1air young life a burden to me too
great to be borne. That is why speak.

No Money hack.

A policeman was standing at the AIichi-
gan avenue entrance Of the city hall,
when stubbed young man about p years
old walked up to him, according 20 the
Detroit Free Press, and said:
DO l get my money back at the same
place l got my marriage ncensey''
What do you mean?"
Il mean that I got a marriage license
here three days ago and put down my good
money for IT, It's no good to me and

Perhaps not, but it is a license to wed
Jane Grove. If you have changed your
mind about marrying Jane Grove tnars

You ought to have known that before
you took out the license"
But she lied to me-.

clerk, but I'm sure he'll hang on to your
money"
He will. Ell? Then this great common
wealth of Michigan will descend to best a

Sailing On.
Celia Thaxter.


We sail towards evenings lonely star.
That trembles in the tender blue;
One single cloud dusky bar
Burnt with duh carmine through and

Slow smouldering in the summer sky,
Lies low along the fading west;
How sweet to watch its splendors die
Wave-cradied thus, and wind-caressed.
The soft breeze freshens; leaps the spray
To kiss our cheeks with sudden cheer;
Upon the dark edge of the bay
Lighthouses kindle far and near
And through the warm deeps of the sky
Steal faint star-clusters while we rest
In deep refreshment, thou and l,
Wave-cradled thus, and wind-caressed.
How like a dream are earth and heaven,
Star-beam and darkness, sky and sea
Thy face, pale in the shadowy even
Thy quiet eyes that gaze on me!

A Trick on an Actor.

A funny trick was played not long ago
upon one of the great Paris tragedians,
M. Roumain. He plays at the Gazette thea
ter, and in the "Charbonniere'' there is a
scene in the third act in which Roumain.
his hands folded in front of his face
stands in mute despair, and, suddeniy
turning toward the public, shows his face
covered with deadly pallor and distorted
by pain. To appear really pale Roumain
used little powder puff concealed in fhe
corner of a desk, which he quickly passed
over his cheeks unnoticed by the specta-
tors; this powder puff, a colleague of his
Numes, had dipped into coal dust and
the effect upon the public can better he
imagined than described. The public
roared when Roumain appeared with his
pathetic looks and blackened face Ron
main, however, has vowed vengeance
fearful vengeance, and another merry
evening, this time at Numes' expense
may be expected.

A New Jersey jury has found it impos-
sible to determine the value of mother
in-law. The defendants wife died, and
her mother continued to live with him as
his housekeeper. After a time he married
again. Wife No. couldn't get along with
the mother of wife No. l, and they quar-
relied. The mother-in-law left and brought
suit against the defendant for comrensa-
ton for her services while she was with
him during his widowerhood. A jury
wrestled with the question for more than
thirty hours, and gave It up.
