AUSTIN BUDGET.
Some Spicy News Note from
The States Capital.

tiiS RldlVS va klttLt'
Austin, Texas, June 49,
The cheering reports of bus
mess REVEALS all over the coun-
try are having an effect here,
and business circles are decid-
eddy more cheerful. It is, notice
able, too, that discussions on
finance are not near SO vigorous
as they we're some time back.
Warrants registered at the
state treasury up to Saturday,
the Sth, indicate that the def
cheney thus far is not much
short of 100000, with revenue
coming in remarkably slow, the
receipts for the month barely
reaching 100000. This state of
affairs has caused warrants to
weaken, and they are quoted at
from "a to 9S, according to date
of registration.
coppI,rTvr. .EfrzcfSfIforSc
There is some speculation
here as to What Governor Gull
berson will do about that Cor
beytt-Fitzsimmons smuggling
mill, booked to take place at
Dallas. 1t will be remembered
that Governor Ross had this
question to deal with, and that,
TOO, before there was any law
against prize fighting in Texas
He was not neatly mouthed
about it, at all. He promptly
Informed the fighters and their
aBetfors frat they could not
fight on Texas soil. The fight
ers and their attorneys called
the attention Of the governor to
the fact that there was no law
in Texas against such exhibi
tons, and as all arrangements
had been made they proposed
to carry out their program.
EThe next thing the champions
heard from the State capital
was an imperative order sent to
the sheriff of Orange county
to promptly arrest the whole
shooting match, law or no law
and if necessary, the military
would bhck.up the civil officers.
Ross made it distinctly under

occur; and it didn't, That was the

Just as they heard from Ross, and
this moral sentiment is not going to
permit him to dodge behind an
opinion rendered by Judge Henry
some time back. In this connec
ton, the governor of Indiana, like
Ross, without law sat down upon
the disgracefdl and demoralizing

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Christmas is Coming.

Yes nearly twelve months have come and
gone and brought US on our yearly march
in life and as we look back over these
months we wonder how many of our read
ers have enjoyed reading this page, how
many we have been instrumental in help
ing along in their home cares and trials and
how we can increase our methods OF assist
ance in the fast approaching new year.
Of course all hands are busy preparing for
the holidays and to those we have whisper
to give. Don't make expensive gifts. Let
the memento be something inexpensive
something in accordance with the everyday
life of the recipient. Then make gifts where
they will do good. Select the neglected in
the circle of friends and acquaintances, those
least noticed and gladden. their hearts with
some little token. An advantage of two
fold is gained in pursuing this course. You
have larger number Of gifts to bestow thus
making happy larger number OF friends.
It need not necessarily be gifts-it may be
letters Of greeting which it seems to us are
worth more, in some cases, than even gift
might be.
We know of one who is going to make
fancy little boxes and fill with homemade
candy made by her own dainty little fingers
happy will be the one who receives one
don't you say? To be thus remembered
and no doubt held in mind while the opera
ton is in progress, is worth all else.
Let us not forget the lonely and cheerless
about us at Christmas tide. Let us aaYe a
bountiful dinner and send invitations to
have them with us on that day-help re-
lieve their loneliness and thus do unto 9th
ers as we'd have them do to us.

Hints on Dressing the Hair.

''Do tell US how to dress the hair becom-
ingy" said bevy Of bright faced M aidens,
gathering about our desk one bright morn
ing a few days ago, 80 that we can make
ourselves attractive" A short lesson on the
secrets of attractiveness was then in order
hut knowing that outside decorations were
what they wanted I happened to have lying
near by some exchanges and one Of the first
items to catch the eye was one on the above
subject. So here it is. girls.
The prettiest way to arrange your hair?
Especially if it is very long. very thick, and
a most beautiful color, yet cannot be worn
hanging down in braids, because you are too
tall for anything so childish, nor fastened up
in graceful Psyche knot at the back of the
head, quite near the neck, because it is too
heavy, and comes tumbling down at 1ncon-
venlent seasons. Lovely hair, but an en-
barrassment of riches. is it not?
If it were my hair, and l were the dear
young girl who finds it bother and bur-
den, would coil 1t on top of my head and
wear it like crown, says writer in Har.

would stand up very straight, and look as
tail as could: In my opinion heighth is
beauty, and never care about a girls being
tall, except to admire her. Tall girls must
mind that they carry themselves well, and
do not stoop or crane their heads forward
as though they had lost something and were
perpetually looking for it. You remember
Tennyson's picture, do you not, word pic
ture such as only poet could paint:
IA daughter of the Gods,
Divinely tall, and most divinely fair"
If the coronal effect were unbecoming, or
gave feeling of weight on top of my head,
then l ould braid the hair in several
strands, and mass it all over the back of the
head. I would simply part it in the middle,
and avoid fringes end bangs, and little curls.
crimps and other attempts at decoration in
front. When hair has natural wave or rip
pie it is very pretty, and should have its
way, but straight hair is pretty too, and girls
should be satisfied to wear their hair in the
style nature intended for them.

Wrinkles Of long standing cannot be re-
