A CHRISTMAS TIP.

The thousands of Texans who came
from the South Atlantic states find
much pleasure in reverting to the hap
py days Of long ago when they were
children, and often they awake at
night to recall those scenes Of yore,
which gave to life charm, and which
now come in later years as visions Of
joy. There is tender spot In ev-
cry heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the weary
weary struggle we make day by day
to build in our new Eldorado home
to which our children in future time
will turn, as we turn now to the old
place where our loved ones in the ev-
ening of life await the final summons.
The Texas & Pacific railway COM
pany again offers you the opportunity
to go back to the old home. Round
trip excursion tickets will be on sale
from all points on the system on Dec.

Washington, June 4-The senate on

A Wtc ROMANCE.

An End-of-the-Century Idyl for the New
 Woman.
 The world has laughed this long time over suits for breach of promise of mar riage, says an exchange. In a volume of English law reports there is recorded a case well-nigh as amusing, whose oc- casion was not the breach, but the keep ing of promise not to marry. The parties to it were rich, elderly woman and the nephew whom she meant to make her heir. He, it appears, fell vio- lently in love with a fascinating young widow, and might have married her but that his aunt intervened. She did not try threat, diplomacy or detect i've investigatien-she was another sort and knew a trick worth all of them. She said plumply to the youngster that so long as he remained free of the widow he might count upon receiving from herself s 500 a year. Having more of prudence than sentiment, he closed with the offer, and for several years duly got and spent the promised l sum.
 Then the aunt either grew tired of paying or became less fearful of the widow, and she would not pay another ha'penny, so the nephew went to law. He won his case, for, although the op- posing counsel was not admitting tine agreement, declared it could not be en- forced as contrary to public modesty: the learned judge thought otherwise. \ promise to abstain wholly from mar riage, he said, neither could or should be enforced, but this was to refrain only from marriage with particular person, hence the rlaiEtiff was entitled to recover his whole claim with costs ''in consideration of having resigned | his natural freedom of marriage"

HARD TACK AT HUMBUG The Siege of Paris Fairly
 AEclipsed. Beef TWice-Goat OnCe-The
 Rest Wind.
Mill Men Squeal for Decent Grub, Are Put Off with Military
 Half RationS.

"For sixty-three days we have sim ply subsisted on but little more than roots and herbs. Is it any wonder that we present a gaunt and hungry lot of appearances? To tell you the exact truth about ii" said the mill man who had just arrived from Humbug, i've have been out at the mine sixty-three days, and during that time we were given beef but twice. We had goat meat once. The rest of the time we were fed on the meanest looking Mo- bacon that you ever saw. It was streaked like a rainbow, tasted like goose grease and smelt worse than burning fuse on a trolley car.
 ''Talk about meannesS, why the man who employed us was the banner car rier of the mean brigade from Small town, Mo- One time we said that un- less he gave us something to eat we would quit There were twenty of us on the job, and he took out of our pay right along one dollar per day for board. Well, he didn't want to lose us, so he hitched up, came to town, then drove back and informed us that now we would be given an opportunity to live like nabobs. Said he had dead oodles of good things, and he unload ed from his wagon-say, you may not believe it, but it's gospel-19 beets, pounds of potatoes, d2 ears of corn, 4 onions, pounds of beef and a small sack of salt. And all this for twenty men.
 "Oh, yes, we had some beans. But when for siNty-three days, three times a day, you eat nothing but beans and sour bread and pay a dollar a day for it, why you have time to think of all the nice feasts you have read about from the time of Belshazzar down to the latest barbecue in Texas"
 The reporter asked the spokesman if he was going back again.
 Look here, reporter, do we look like men fully equipped, physically, to start in on a second sixty day round of Dr. Tannerism? Back again! Not on your 16 to 1 button. The Missouri Allen Mining, Milling, Smelling and Reducing company has played the re- ducing part of the programme too hard on us, and unless the superintendent publishes the bill of fare in advance and puts up bond to meet its require ments, it is a safe bet that no white man will work for him more than one shift"
 And the hungry looking men shuf- fled off towards a restaurant that had out a sign, "All you can eat for 15 centS."

GOULD'S ORCHIDS.
The Great Financier Paid Excessive Prices
 for Thorn

The Great Financier Paid Excessive Prices
 for Them.
 "Shrewd as Jay Gould was in every branch of fnance," flower merchant said to me the other day, ''he had no idea whatever of the value of orchids his great hobby. The old orchid col lection up at Irvington has run down now, but during Gould's lifetime it was one of the finest in the world. The amount of money that had been spent on it, however, was enormous. Care ful, conservative buying by an orchid expert would have gathered it together at almost fraction of the sum actually paid out. Many exquisite and rare va rieties were numbered in it, it is true, but an excessive price was paid for the most of them.
 ''The old financier's ways in this were well known, and people with fine or chids to sell seldom failed to get the sum they asked. Actually, he used to pay as much as $50 at times for orchids that were hardly worth a quarter of that. In London he had agents con- stantly on the lookout for rare plants of this species, and he paid them prices that they could have obtained nowhere else"

 It is said she conducted an illicit business in liquors. The cries of the drugged victim attracted the attention of belated pedestrians along Hannah street last night.

 for ladies' wear that have sprung into prominence and popularity within the last year or two the shirt waist is in. fnitely the most unobjectionable. It is probably the only ladies' garment that is at the same time both useful and becoming and in this connection it is worth while to note that it's pop ularity is something wonderful, for it is seldom indeed that fashion stoops to combine the attributes that make the ladies shirt waist a, paragon of everything that a woman should and will wear. In this whole Nation there is no garment more generally worn and wholesalers say that the shirt waist has come to stay Alkire's have sold an enormous number of them this season and have lots now on hand. Beginning "Wednesday, July g, they will start shirt waist sale with the view of closing out this seasons line. The prices have been put away down and ladies will have an opportunity of laying in years supply at a figure that will urge them to invest.
