A Distressing Example Of Q Young
Husband's Absence Of Mud.
She Is North Side girl, says the CHI
ecgo Tribune, and she has recently mar
ricd the dearest fellow in the world.
She Is fully aware Of the latter fact, nor
does she hesitate to mention It to her
friends. Indeed, so recent Is her mar
riage that some Of her acQuaintanccs
have not yet had chance to meet the
most charming of his sex. Brief ~ the
time has been, however, 1t has yet been
long enough for her to discover that her
husband Is absent minded.
The other day she was expecting q
girl friend to lunch with her and make
the acquaintance of this paragon. The
guest. however, failed to make her ap-
pearance. though careful search OF
the husbands pockets failed to reveal
the note Of invitation. 1t was rainy
day and late in the afternoon the now
despaired-of-guest made her appeal

Texas.

YCx1e. .aE.u. ....
In the agricultural line, Texas leads
all other states in the variety of its
products. Cotton, corn, and the
cereals grow and are raised in every
section of the state, and in the central
and southern portions sugar cane and
sorghum cane are profitably cultivated
On the gulf coast two or three crops OF
vegetables arc raised each ycar.
Berries are shipped six weeks in
advance of the home crop in the north.
Pears, peaches, piu,ns, oranges, figs,
olives, and nuts all grow abundantly
aud can be marketed from two to
three weeks III advance of the Cali
forrfla crops. Large quantities of rice
are now grown.
If the land seeker, the home seeker,
and the settler desires to secure q
farm larger than tho one he occupies,
on vastly more reasonable terms; if he
wants more land to cultivate, II greater
variety of crops to harvest, with pro-
portionatcly increased remuneration,
ut a less outlay for cost of production:
If he wants an earlier season, with
corrcspond'-gly higher prices; if he
wants mildcr winters, all the year pas
turage for his stock, improved health,
increased bodily comforts, and wealth
and prosperity he should go to Texas.

Color Line in South Africa.

Mi. John Brice writes as follows III
the course of an interesting article in
the Century Magazine: In South Afr-
ca it rarely, If ever, happens that a
native, whatever his rank, is received
on any social occasion inside white
house. When Khama, the famous chief
OF the Ba-Mangwato,- Christian, and
man of admittedly high character,
who has ruled his people with sinsu-
lar wisdom and ability. was in Eng
land last autumn, and was there en-
tertained at lunch nv the Duke CT
Westminster and other persons Of So
cial eminence, the news excited gen.
eral annoyance and disgust among the
whites in South Africa. Thus one may
say that there is no social intercourse
whatever between the races; their re-
lations are purely those of business.
Now and then the black man gets
ahead of the white, but the lutter's
pride Of race remains. I was told of
a white who condescended to be hired
to work by Kaf1ir, but stipulated that
the Kaflr should address him as
Boss" Intermarriage is not forbidden
by law in the two British colonies, as
in most, If not all, of the Southern
States Of America, but 1t is excessively
rare; nor does it appear that there
are now other irregular unions, outside
marriage, as there constantly were in
the old days while slavery existed. In
this respect the case Of South Africa
remarkably resembles that OF the
Southern States, where also there is
now very little mixture Of blood,
though there was great deal fifty
years ago.

Wales Pays $40 Apiece for Lounge
Il Suits and &l2.5O for Trousers.
The Prince of Wales IS by no means
the small, stout man which NEST OF his
pictures seem to Indicate 1t is not
every man turned so with forty-tve
inch chest who can boast Of waist
CT mot more than forty inches. If he
occasionally appears s-cuter it is be-
cause he likes his clothes to be loose
and easy. This is especially the case
with those particular suits known as
Lounge suits" For these he never un-
der any circumstances pays more than
$40. A few years ago Sir Francis
Knollys, his private secretary, finding.
that his tailors were overcharging him,
fixed upon u uniform price for each
suit. The:ha.se ordered in Ealf dozens
at time. There is likewise a regular
and ixed price OF $3.50 for his trous-
ers, which under no pretext whatsoever.
save in the case Of uniforms, is eN-
ceeded. The prince has !, horror OF
evening dress which he considers hid
cons. He prefers evening dress to uni
forms, however, and uses twelve suits
of these a year at Il fixed price OF $50
suit. The prince never wears any
pair OF trousers more than four times,
and as the discarded clothes Of roy
atty are not allowed to be appropriated
by the Wallets, but are all preserved,
there is a stock Of thousands Of them
at Marlborough house. This need sur
prise no one, for when King George ".
died his clothes were sold by public
auction, which lasted over three weeks,
there being no less than 500 furlined
coats alone. All the princes clothes,
old and new, are kept at Marlborough
house in what are known as the
brushing rooms" several men being
employed to look after them. All his
hats, especially the old ones, arc for
some reason or other kept at Sand
bingham. He abominates the high
silk hat, his favorite headgea1 being
that which is known as the bowler"

to a reporter recently:
II had for years been troubled with
rheumatism, often being compelled to
keep my bed for weeks at time I
sought relief from home physicians,
but In vain. At times I suffered SO
severely that was all but dead Had
often heard that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills were an almost infallible cure for
my ailment, and at the suggestion OF
q friend began to take them. Thank
God did SO; for from the very first
dose I found relief. I continued to
take them until in short time lost
all signs of rheumatism. 1t has been
over three years since took the pills,
and no sign Of my old malady has re-
turned. AS true as believe there is q
not taken DR.. Williams Pink Pills at
the time did that to-day would be
in my grave. I give this testimony
willingly, hoping it will shed light to
some other sufferer Of that awful dis
case. r,@ w.

Neighbor Jim is popular with the
women, because he is always cordial,
but never gets OF compliments. TO
saw very complimentary or pretty
things to one woman puts man in
q dangerous plight with all the others.
You cannot say the same of all, or you
arc counted insincere. But you can

,ook delighted when ladies talk with
him. He exerts himself to entertain
them. But no one can go away and
;nuote q burning compliment to make
all the other women green with jeal-
ousy and incipient dislike. 1t is not
generally much considered, but the
complimentipg neighbor does not, as
rule, get along we'll for any length
Of time. u-...
Neighbor Jim has way Of draw
ing out men who have heretofore been
in q hole. He gets hold Of unpopular
fellows, helps them to show up their
good sides, somehow puts them on ex-
hibition to advantage, and gives them
recognition among us. He pulls men
into social game, on the morning
train-men that none of us ever hard
" spoke to before. He and his wife
make calls together, and the next
morning, on the cars, the man on
whom he called shows a bright, spark
ling front that is transforming. The
rest of us are surprised at the people
whom Jim has dug out. ~
Neighbor Jim respects all mems
opinions, especially their religious
opinions. never heard him joke nor
laugh at any mans beliefs. And yet
we have Some of the queerest cranks
in our village, men with all sorts of
wheels in their heads. Sneers and
jokes at another's expense are danger

Keep clear Of practical Joking If you
TOuld be valued as neighbor. Some
men may do it, and escape being dis
liked; but they are few. Neighbor Jim
respects all men, so far as by any
stretch Of charity he can see anything
to respect.
