A Fairy Tale.

The Texas & Pacific office in this
city is great place for the manufac-
ture Of fairy stories, and the officials
occupying the desks there are so talent
ed in that direction that J. Fenimore
Cooper and Oliver Optic stand peren-
nially hat in hand on the threshold of
the t. & 2. Office, not daring to enter
into the presence of such superior tai
ent.
Today's inbound passenger was sew
eral hours late, and a genius in the city
office declared with much JUNCTION tn at
the Iron Mountain road was late at
Corsicana. The fact is that last
nights outward bound train ran up
againsta couple of cows this side of
royah. The COWS were badly segre-
gated as their sweet spirits took flight,
and the neighboring Mexican popula-
ton are now feasting on chile con carne
con mucho gusto. But the shock de-
rallied the engine and one Of the coaches,
delaying the train eight hours, and
making the west bound train three
hours late into Ell Paso. This was how
the Iron Mountain came to delay the

A very curious point has been sui
mitted to the Derbyshire Foot ball
ass citation for decision It is as to
whether artificial limbs are to be per
mitted in the play. 1t seems that II e
Buxto1 TO b. club had several mem
bers of it's team severely Injured in
consequence OF d member OF the MIST
lock eleven having played with an
artitic arm. Il was reported that in
Derbyshire alone there are a number
of football players who, owing 20 the
loss of an arm. use artificial lin bs.
They are described as regular ter
rors'' on the foot ball field, since when
once they get 'on" to the bail they
swing their dummy arms around with
such force as to either fracture skulls
or cause conclusion of the brain. 1t
has now been determined by the as
ISOLATION that artificial limbs are hence
forth to be barred in all football
games.

Making War on Wild Animals.

A petition is being circulated for
the purpose of securing signatures Of
those in favor of legislation for the
determination of wildanimals in Texas.
Several Thousand petitions EN- braclng
draft of proposed bill to be 1ntrO-
duced in the legislature have been sent
out to leading points in the state. The
petition is as follows:
ITO the people of Texas Interested
in the prosperity of the live stock IN
dustry-The undersigned wish to call
the attention of the people OF Texas to
the destruction of live stock by
! wild amin ais is increasing at d rapid
rate throughout large portion of the
state and that the interests of the peO-
pie. irrespective of occupation. demand
that they be eXterminated. 1t is well
known fact that they annually destroy
i live stock, including poultry, which in
the aggregate is of large va ne, and
, that they greatly increase the cost of
caring for all kinds of stock and that
the presence of such wild animal
deter thousands of people from engag-
ing in growing such kinds of stock as
the wild animals are most destructive
Of The benefits to accrue to the peO-
pie of the state from the destruction
of this long endured detriment cannot
be apprOximated. but will be enorm-
Gus
There is no practical mode of &C
comprising this desired condition, ex-
cept by concert of action, and the only
mode by which such concert of action
can be produced is by offering an in
/ ducement to the people to destroy them
, Such necessary Inducements, we believe
can best be offered by means OF a mon
| led consideration offered in the nature
of payment of bounty for their de
| structiOn.
j Authority for the payment of a
! bounty by the equities can be had only
| by permission of our state legislature.
With this object in view we herewith
submit for your consideration plan of
| bill to be submitted to our legislature
with a view to asking said legislature
! to enact this or soma similar plan into
law during the session now soon to be
| convened"

Tony R9hStOn,

Boston has new craze. This time
it is the game of pillow dex. Society
has become so hopeless infected with
the contagion that it has temporarily
abandoned the scientific study of the
physical significance Of the fourth
dimension in its ultimate relations to
the antecedeut evolution of the prim-
ordial protoplasm from the essence Of
the eternal. Long years ago it strug-
gled with the cOntrarities of inanimate
things in an enthusiastic and exhaust
ing investigation of the possibilities of
the noble game of jackstraws. l.
then offered the world a demonstration
of the law of development from diet
and environment, its discussion and
FERROUS but irresistible workings of
nature by producing an appetite FOR
the game of bean boys. Having risen
by these stages to power and conf
dence, Boston intelligence grappied
with the elusive ab=urdities of tiddledy
winks until it was able 10 hail Itself
victor. Now it has taken up pillow
deX and it tiuds the game so novel,
hilarious and exciting that it is in
danger of neglecting its ordinary pur-
suits of mental will-'o-tbe wisps. The
game is played with a light. inflated
balloon like bag, rather smaller than
a football. The only necessity of the
game is a line down the middle OF
long table or across the floor. The
players are divided into two sides
The pillow deX is thrown into the air
and batted back and forth across the
line. Each party tries to prevent it
from falling to the table or the floor on
its side of the line. This intricate and
dangerous game is said to produce an
enormous amount of fun. AND the
world knows that Boston likes fun.
